Chapter 842 Predestined

　　Ye Qingtang sized up Ling Yan’s karmic natal chart. Just like a chess game, the first half of his fate was already predestined, but the latter half of the natal chart was vague.

　　“What does it mean?” Ye Qingtang asked.

　　“The first half of my natal chart is what I have done in my life and cannot be changed, while the latter half is so vague because I have not sowed any cause. Thus, there’s no way of having an effect… Destiny is held in one’s hands. Even if the heavens want to predestine someone’s life, it will merely guide him to do some things… For example, if the heavens want you to die, it will definitely lead you to lay some foundations like suiciding out of sorrow and grief. These sorrowful events are the cause, and your suicide is the effect. One would never die for no reason. Destiny is about causality. If the heavens want you to go insane, it will definitely cause you to swell with emotions. In that case, swelling is the cause, and insanity is the effect.” Ling Yan smiled.

　　Ye Qingtang was not clear and did not really understand what karma was.

　　“In other words, the heavens are unable to predestine a person’s life and will only lead you to do some things to achieve the destiny that the heavens want to. It’s like your destiny is to be slaughtered by a powerful figure eventually, so the heavens would definitely lead you to do things that will anger the powerful figure. Thus, destiny is actually held in your own hands.”

　　“This is why the karmic natal chart for the rest of your life is so vague and empty?” Ye Qingtang asked.

　　“That’s right. I have not done anything in the latter half of my life; thus, the natal chart is so empty.” Ling Yan replied with a smile.

　　Although Ye Qingtang still could not understand, she roughly understood the general idea.

　　“But what made me curious is your natal chart.”
