The main hall of the Prince of Qi's residence.

Upon hearing Qin Chang'an's words, Qin Changge's expression became extremely solemn.

It's not that easy!
"I should have known better than to practice divination," Qin Changge muttered.

If a group of people are trapped in a sealed room and a fire breaks out outside, it is certainly better to die asleep and unaware than to wake up suddenly and die in fear.

If I have to die, then I might as well die in a muddled way.

Knowing that he is about to die, he lives in constant fear and trembling every day. This is too cruel.

“That’s not right,” Qin Chang’an shook his head. “Sixth brother, it’s precisely because you knew the ‘ending’ in advance that you will cherish everything that follows all the more.”

Qin Changge sighed, unable to accept it for the time being.

Xiao Dashan, standing to the side, said nonchalantly, "Everyone has to die eventually, and this time we're all dying together, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Qin Chang'an nodded approvingly, agreeing with Xiao Dashan's words.

Qin Changge still couldn't calm herself down, feeling a sense of emptiness.

"Sixth brother, come with me," Qin Chang'an said calmly.

Qin Changge followed, with Xiao Dashan close behind.

The group arrived in front of a house.

This house looks a bit unusual. It was originally a single-story house, but an additional floor was added later, making it a two-story house. The two floors look somewhat different, one old and one new.

In front of this house is an open space, and in front of the open space, an old man, over fifty years old, is playing with his grandson.

It's fun.

Qin Changge, Qin Chang'an, and Xiao Dashan hid in the sky, so they didn't disturb the old man.

"What's so interesting about this?" Qin Changge asked suspiciously.

Qin Chang'an calmly said, "This commoner's lifelong wish was to own a two-story house."

"Oh." Qin Changge nodded. "It seems he's finished."

Qin Chang'an said, "I made some adjustments in Chuanzhou, and many people are able to live a good life through their labor. So he has finally fulfilled his lifelong wish, and he is content with his life."

"Ok?"

Qin Changge asked, "And then?"

Qin Chang'an calmly asked, "Do you think a commoner who knows he is going to die will feel fear?"

“Of course,” Qin Changge said. “Knowing that you are going to die, any normal person would be afraid; it’s human instinct.”

"Hmm." Qin Chang'an nodded. "Then do you think he'll have any regrets?"

"This..." Qin Changge thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be, right?"

“That’s right,” Qin Chang’an said. “Everyone has to die eventually, and everyone is afraid of death. But as long as you achieve your life goals, you will have no regrets.”

"You mean you want me to find a purpose in life?" Qin Changge raised an eyebrow. "And then what?"

Qin Chang'an said, "In the limited time we have, we should do something meaningful so that we have no regrets. That is what we should do."

"Oh." Qin Changge nodded.

Qin Chang'an looked at the commoner and said, "Everything has its own rules, and everyone has their own things to do. Finding what you can do and finding the meaning in those things is what we should do."

Qin Changge rolled her eyes. "I finally understand."

Qin Chang'an was very pleased. "Sixth brother, you understood perfectly."

Qin Changge shook his head. "Fourth Brother, aren't you just trying to fool me? Building a two-story building is supposed to be meaningful? Isn't that just like Ah Q, a self-deceptive form of wishful thinking?"

"Ah Q? Spiritual victory method?" Qin Chang'an looked at Qin Changge with some hesitation.

“Meaningless is meaningless. Trying to find meaning in something meaningless is just self-deception!” Qin Changge shook his head. “Losing is losing. Trying to find reasons to say you won when you've clearly lost is just like Ah Q, that’s the spirit of self-deception!” “Uh…”

Qin Chang'an didn't know what to say.

Qin Changge said earnestly, "Objectively speaking, death is frightening, so I must do everything I can to avoid this calamity! I believe that anything is possible with human effort!"

"Objective? It's up to people to make things happen?" Qin Chang'an seemed to be thinking about this. "Sixth brother, I really can't convince you, whether it's second brother or you."

The sons of Emperor Qin Tianlai are all too outstanding, and each one is too individualistic. It's impossible to listen to any one of them.

Qin Chang'an said, "Father is right. If you think it's right, then do it."

"Yeah." Qin Changge nodded.

"Fourth Brother, I'm leaving." Qin Changge prepared to leave with Xiao Dashan.

Qin Chang'an thought for a moment, looking at Qin Changge's back, and said, "Sixth brother, everything has its own laws. The laws are the way of heaven, which cannot be changed. There are very few things that people can decide."

Qin Changge turned his head to the side. "Are you saying that failure is inevitable, death is inevitable, and no matter how hard I try now, in the end I can only decide to lose gracefully and die quickly?"

Qin Chang'an nodded.

Qin Changge calmly said, "Before things have settled down, who can say that failure is inevitable? Even as a ninth-level divination grandmaster, I wouldn't dare to say that!"

Qin Chang'an was stunned.

Qin Changge continued, "I believe in fate, I believe the outcome is predetermined, but why do you say that the failure was arranged by fate?"

"Fourth Brother? You think you're smart? You think the outcome you see is the result of fate?"

"I am a ninth-level divination grandmaster, and my divination has a 99% accuracy rate, but I still don't believe that the results of my divination are the result of fate!"

"Fate certainly exists, but if something doesn't happen, who can say that what they see is the result of fate's arrangement?"

Qin Changge's gaze grew more resolute as he spoke.

Qin Chang'an, on the contrary, was confused.

"Fourth Brother, failure is not terrible. What's terrible is to be discouraged after losing and never be able to get back up!" Qin Changge turned and left.

As Qin Chang'an watched Qin Changge's departing figure, his face showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Do your best and obey destiny."

"Or...it's up to us to make things happen."

"..."

A sentence suddenly flashed through Qin Chang'an's mind:

"If you believe it's right, then do it!"

Unconsciously, two tear tracks rolled down Qin Chang'an's cheeks.

"Father, so you had already seen this far ahead all along?"

Qin Chang'an wiped away the tears on his face, and his aura continued to rise.

Qin Chang'an's cultivation level broke through from the initial Confucian and Taoist third-grade Liyan realm to the second-grade Weidi realm.

Then, he broke through from the second-grade Earth Realm to the first-grade Heaven Realm.

He was only one step away from reaching the Supreme Ascension Realm...
