The concept of Divine Destiny originated in the most ancient era of Huaixu, during the Mingu Era when the Great Immortal of Huaixu was still in the world.
Before the demon calamity, Destiny Grids already existed, though the number of destiny-bearers back then was far fewer than today. There was no classification of anomalous, miscellaneous, or innate destinies; there were only Evil Destinies, Wondrous Fates, and Heavenly Destinies bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
Destiny Grids in those days were also incredibly difficult to awaken. Rather than a heaven-sent seed, they were, much like physical constitutions such as the Innate Dao Body, a manifestation of pure talent. Indeed, they were the source of many cultivation methods used today.
