Sha Chen fell silent.
In Tongtian Hierarch's words, both spoken and unspoken, he was discussing fate and qualifications.
As he had said, Sha Chen indeed seemed to lack the fate to become a Saint. He hadn't occupied one of those six positions, but that shouldn't be the sole determinant of his fate. As for qualifications, Sha Chen hadn't ventured out to accumulate merit. He had merely remained secluded, working in isolation, which seemingly meant he could never attain Sainthood through merit.
However, was that really the case? Perhaps it was true ninety-nine percent of the time, but it definitely wasn't the only truth.
Sha Chen looked at the Tongtian Hierarch and said, "May I ask the Saint, is the only path to Sainthood to go out and heal the world, to accumulate merit?"
But the Tongtian Hierarch smiled and said, "If it's just about healing the world, you could not gather enough merit to become a Saint in a lifetime."
