c2510: 23: Twenty-one Patterns and the Way of Cause and Effect (Part 3) (2)

Within it lies the fundamental composition logic of certain laws.

The more Mo Hua read, the more insights he gained. After days of contemplation, previously vague concepts gradually became clear, and his understanding of causality became deeper.

All things in the world have causes and effects.

Everything originates from a "cause," with cause giving rise to "effect," "effect" further becoming "cause," generating other "effects," and so forth...

Such causes and effects occur in cycles, forming a chain of causality.

This chain of causality serves as a clue and framework for the development of things.

For individuals, this is the "fate" of life.

A person’s destiny is the cumulative "causality" throughout their life.

Current actions are both cause and effect.

They are the "effect" of past "causes," while also serving as "causes" that create future "effects."

Mo Hua cupped his chin, reflecting using himself as an example.

For instance, him being a second-grade high-level Array Master now is due to his past, tireless drawing of formations on the Taoist Stele.

Becoming a Formation Master is the effect.

Constantly learning formations, drawing formations, and comprehending formations is the cause.

If he hadn’t continuously drawn formations, accumulating enough "causes," he wouldn’t have the "effect" he has today.

In the future, if he wants to become a formation grandmaster—achieve this "effect," it means from now on, he must continually accumulate "causes" for this "effect."

He needs to dedicate all his thoughts and efforts to cultivation and learning formations.

As long as the power of "cause" is sufficient, the corresponding "effect" will occur.

As long as his cultivation and insight into formations reach a certain level, he will inevitably become a formation grandmaster one day.

And all this causality also constitutes his "fate."

Reflecting on this, Mo Hua felt enlightened as if a rejuvenating clarity:

"Causality skill, in short, is utilizing the rules of causality to probe into, influence, or change the development trajectory of things, and even change a person’s lifetime fate..."

Changing fate means, firstly, using the Law of Causality to alter one’s own "fate."

Becoming the person one desires to be, walking the path one wants to walk, pursuing the Dao one seeks.

Secondly, one can manipulate others’ "fate" through the Causality Law.

Control others’ thoughts, actions, life’s advances and retreats, even life and death fortunes.

If the changes in causality are significant enough, altering numerous fates, it would form "fortune."

This grand fortune, a collection of numerous changes in causality, gathering the life charts of countless beings, is a broader domain upon the Way of Cause and Effect...

Heavenly secret.
