"Religion · Fate" – Those experienced in scripture-writing or proselytizing, please come in~

No.0 (OP):

First, let me introduce ourselves. We are followers of the great Lord of Fate, the Crowned Peacock Snake Tribe who guard the order of Fate’s River.

Our tribe’s priest, Kurt, has been honored with the glorious mission of compiling the scriptures for Lord Fate. Initially, the work progressed smoothly, as our Lord’s benevolence and power are beyond doubt, making it easy to praise Him.

However, when it came to chronicling the foremost servants under our Lord, disagreements arose within our tribe. After days of unresolved debate, we decided to seek opinions here.

No.1 (OP):

Of course, it would be even better if we could encounter fellow Fate Believers beyond our tribe and receive your suggestions!

The shared faith flows within our souls—a bond stronger than blood~ (^_^ )

No.2:

Wow, does this count as indirectly participating in the writing of a True God’s scriptures?

No.3:

Fascinating! Though I’m not a completely devout Fate Believer, I’ll chime in for fun.

No.4:

Adding wisdom to our Lord’s scriptures is an honor. Praise be to Fate!

No.5:

Praise Fate +1

No.6:

Praise Fate +2

...

No.16:

Ahem, folks, hold up. If you wanna praise, perhaps open a separate prayer thread? Here, we should focus on the OP’s question first.

No.17:

Agreed. If you wish to praise Fate, feel free to hit the link below~ Everyone is welcome to check in!

No.18:

Link: #"Prayer Thread" Have We Praised Fate Today?#

No.19:

Where’s the OP? You still haven’t explained what the disagreement is about.

No.20 (OP):

Back—was just polishing my words.

No.21 (OP):

Here’s the crux: Who should be recorded first in the opening chapter of Volume II, the "Tome of Holy Spirits"?

No.22 (OP):

One camp, led by Priest Kurt, believes that only the Divine Son of Fate—destined to share our Lord’s glory and standing nearest the Divine Throne—deserves this position.

However, others cite research and found that our Lord also has a loyal Fate Apostle, who traverses myriad realms to enact His will. Such identity and deeds should also be recorded in the first chapter.

No.23:

Yikes… This is indeed a crucial issue. The order in which they appear in divine doctrine literally denotes their rank, doesn’t it?

No.24:

Way bigger than that! To outsiders, it might just seem like a tiny gap between the first and second chapters. But for zealous Chosen… this is a matter of being one step closer or farther from the Lord!

No.25:

Exactly. No true believer would stomach such a hair’s breadth—it’s a matter of faith, dignity, and status.

No.26:

Imagine if I were fortunate enough to be recorded in the Lord’s scriptures—I’d riot if I were inexplicably bumped down a few spots!!

No.27:

And based on my experience, if this issue isn’t handled well, it might even lead to all-out brawls (lol).

No.28:

+1, been there…

No.29:

LMAO, is top comment referring to the three Apostles under the Tree of Life?

No.30:

Ugh, yes (*facepalm*).

Back when the Life Church revised their scriptures, the arbitrary lineup was Crimson Tree – Breath of Life – Calamity. The last two lost it so much that they brawled for days straight. Eventually, they reshuffled it by the outcome of their battles, becoming Breath of Life – Crimson Tree – Calamity…

No.31:

That incident was huge back then. After all, it was a conflict between Apostles—older divinities have probably heard of it.

No.32:

Can I be real? I actually think both factions make valid points (head spinning).

No.33:

If I had to pick, I might side with the Divine Son camp?

№34:

+1, Hasn’t everyone read the latest issue of *World News*?

№35:

The reporter wrote: "The Divine Prince undoubtedly possesses the full favor and trust of Lord Fate. After hearing the divine revelation, His Highness stated..."

It seems he can receive divine revelations on the spot. Has anyone here ever heard of a second soul so blessed? Who matters more to Fate? No contest, right?

№36:

Crystal clear!

№37:

Whoa! Is this the treatment of a favorite only child?

№38:

Though reluctant to admit it... SilverWhite Disaster, such a terrifying entity, actually appears to be a devoted father to His child...

№39:

...Never expected that. I always thought He belonged to the "children are just emergency rations, crunchy and delicious" type of deity (LOL)

№40:

Ditto. Hard to imagine a Disaster having such a tender side (writhing in envy).

№41:

Damn it, I refuse to believe it! The more loving He is to the Divine Prince, the colder He seems toward us, like autumn wind scattering leaves (bursts into tears).

№42:

And you are...? Do you have any connection to Lord Fate? Stop making false comparisons.

№43 (OP):

PSA—this is a gathering place for Fate Believers. Please refrain from using disrespectful nicknames for our Lord, avoid conspiracy theories, and do not spread rumors. Let’s maintain a respectful space. Thank you (fist bump).

№44:

Agreed!

№45:

Exactly. Even if you have opinions or biases against Lord Fate, don’t antagonize believers in their own space. It’s just rude...

№46 (OP):

Appreciate the backup, brothers/sisters in faith~ Back to the topic—any more thoughts?

№47:

The Divine Son camp likely has the numbers? Just from the rumors circulating, you can already sense Fate’s doting and leniency toward His only son.

№48:

I also vote for the Divine Son to open the second volume of the holy scripture! Receiving God the Father’s teachings at any time, completely effortless and safe—who else can do that?

№49:

Uh, actually, I root for the Apostle.

№50 (Flipping Time):

Same here... Seems like the active forum users nowadays are all the newer blood of divine beings? No one remembers the relationship between Apostle Bryce and Fate anymore. (takes a drag)

№51:

! Spill the tea!

№52 (Flipping Time):

It’s a long story—one of companionship, loyalty, and sacrifice.

Many years ago, Bryce was just a mid-to-low-tier player newly entering the occult world. Even then, he was already a loyal disciple of Lord Fate. Divine beings of our era all knew that the silver King of Snakes was always accompanied by a gentle, blond youth who loved reciting epics...

№53 (Flipping Time):

Later, Bryce’s rank grew higher. He often traveled across worlds dressed as a roaming minstrel, witnessing the histories of different cultures and spinning them into tales.

Some say he did this to strengthen his Ability, as he could channel memory’s power. But others claim to have met Bryce in dive bars, where he was asked why he kept journeying. His answer was—

"I just want to gather more stories to share with my teacher. I hope these tapestry of lives, woven from the past, can ease His loneliness."

№54:

...Fate above, my eyes are sweating.

№55:

Don’t know what to say. My first reaction is shock—would a being as mighty as Lord Fate truly feel something like loneliness?

№56:

That’s why we’re worlds apart from Him. Between us stretch eons, countless legends, faith and reverence. Only the Fate Apostle knows "He might be lonely"...

№57:

Ugh... 53L’s storytelling was already moving, but paired with the above explanation, it’s even more next-level poignant!!

№58:

Hold up—just clicked—"companionship" and "loyalty" are evident in the tale, but where’s the "sacrifice"...?

№59:

Oh no, bad vibes, don’t do us dirty!

№60 (Flipping Time):

About that... I originally thought Bryce had fallen, making his story heartbreaking. But since he’s still alive, it’s not as gut-wrenching as you’d imagine.

№61 (Flipping Time):

You all know how much hatred Lord Fate catches heat for consuming divine beings, right?

When the war for divinity reached its climax, many divine beings and sects once opposed Lord Fate becoming the ultimate victor, resorting to various means and swearing He’d pay in blood... Of course, I suspect their motives weren’t solely revenge, but also tied to bigger stakes and alliances.

№62:

There was one incident so severe that even Lord Fate, before attaining True Godhood, struggled to hold His ground against overwhelming odds. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, Bryce, as a fellow Fate Domain successor, could have stood aside and let His mentor die—or even seized the divine throne for Himself... but He didn’t.

It’s said Bryce actively shielded Lord Fate from countless divine beings, allowing His teacher to retreat. For a long time after that, Bryce went radio silent, and many assumed He had perished.

№63:

Turns out it worked out okay?

№64:

They both survived—what a relief (tears).

№65:

Hard to say. Veterans like us know outcomes aren’t just life or death; there’s a spectrum in between (laughs).

№66:

At least He’s alive. As long as He’s alive, there’s hope—maybe even miracles.

№67 (Ordinary Recorder):

Was so moved I almost forgot my job... No, Gotta vote for the Apostle!

№68:

Me too! After all those years side by side—"You leveled me up, and I repaid you with pure loyalty and care"—an Apostle that wholesome has to be Chapter 1!

№69:

Exactly, Apostle has seniority!

№70:

Bullshit! Status and bonds aren’t about seniority. No way the favorite heir loses!

№71:

Stop fighting—y’all can’t kill a god by arguing~

№72:

Can’t make everyone happy? Then piss everyone off equally!

I nominate the white peacock for Chapter 1. Imagine her and Lord Fate’s faces—golden.

№73:

The white peacock would probably vomit ().

№74:

Good news: Made it into the True God’s scripture.

Bad news: It’s the chapter on a former nemesis’s right-hand lackey.

№75:

LOL, maximum trolling.

№76 (OP):

Seems opinions are divided... Too close to call. I’ll lurk some more—keep debating, everyone~

№77:

How does OP sound so innocently neutral while fanning the flames?

№78:

OP’s lowkey savage—Fate Domain folks = drama, confirmed (stereotype +1).

№79:

The Apostle seems relatively gentle?

№80:

If Fate Domain gentleness was a 10-point scale, the Apostle’s at a solid 12, while the rest owe two (thumbs up).

...

№466:

400+ replies deep, did OP decide yet?

№467:

Waiting. If OP ghosts us any longer, I’ll assume this is some next-level bait.

№468:

+1

№469 (OP):

Apologies, everyone—was swamped with clan stuff and neglected the forum. Here’s the High Priest’s final decision~

№470 (OP):

The High Priest went full mystic mode: the scripture’s chapters will have no fixed order. Each has equal probability to appear anywhere, so every flip shuffles the deck—truly leaving it all to Fate!

№471:

...Bruh. 400+ replies and nobody said ‘just magic it’?

№472:

We got out-zen’d by the cultists (facepalm).

№473:

All that typing wasted. Who’s to say this isn’t Fate’s prank?

№474:

Huh, am I the only one who actually likes this approach? It's quite novel and very characteristic of the Fate Domain. Though I wasn't a believer before, I'm lowkey tempted to splurge on a copy of the Fate Scripture for my study now...

№475 (OP):

Once the Scripture is officially compiled, all Fate Believers and those interested in learning about our Lord's story and teachings are welcome to purchase it. However, please refrain from buying it purely for entertainment purposes, as that would be disrespectful to the divine.

№476 (OP):

I'd like to thank everyone for the active discussions and enthusiastic assistance. To prevent further arguments, we've decided to ask the system to lock this thread. Fate will cross our paths again~

№477:

OP's linguistic style remains consistent—always with a few mystical phrases sprinkled in ().

№478:

That's just how things are in this domain. Everyone should try to understand and get used to it.

№479:

So who exactly is Fate's favorite child after all?!

№480:

No definitive answer now—it's turned into a random draw (lol)

「System Alert: OP's request has been approved. This thread is now locked and cannot be replied to or followed up...」
