Variability is Destiny

Deep within Li You's spiritual consciousness, the words of the Daoist of Tongtian sect lingered and echoed from all directions, striking directly at the depths of his soul.

"Are you stronger than the Master of Tongtian sect?"

"Can you do it?"

"On what grounds do you shamelessly proclaim to overturn the celestial fate?"

...

Li You felt as if he had fallen into boundless darkness, struggling here in agony, unable to introspect. He became confused, lost, and harbored doubts. This was extremely fatal; a slight misstep could lead to death, and even a slight setback could stagnate his cultivation, hindering any progress.

"Yeah, on what grounds..."

"The Master of Tongtian sect, once a magnificent figure, one of the Three Pure Ones transformed from the Primordial God Pangu's Primordial spirit, achieving the position of a saint. Countless immortals came to his sect, and his strength surpassed even the four great saints combined."
