Chen Haotian stood before the ancient altar, gazing quietly into the endless darkness in the distance, yet feeling an unprecedented serenity within his heart. Along this journey, he had known confusion and struggle, and had suffered under the crushing weight of destiny, as if all his efforts and struggles were ultimately nothing more than a pawn played by fate. But at this very moment, he felt a strength unlike any he had known before—a determination and tenacity born from the deepest recesses of his soul, as if he finally understood that true destiny is not about controlling everything, but about finding one's own path through countless choices.
"Haotian, are you truly ready?" Su Wanqing asked, standing beside him, her gaze filled with concern.
Chen Haotian did not answer immediately; he merely turned his head to look at her. By now, Su Wanqing had grown from an ordinary cultivator into a confident and strong presence before everyone. There was not a trace of confusion or uncertainty left in her eyes; instead, they were brimming with anticipation for the future and a deep, steadfast reliance on Chen Haotian.
