Facing Jolod's questioning, Richard suddenly had a revelation.
Indeed, if the future is predetermined, then every step he takes would be predetermined too, and free will would not exist.
But free will does exist.
A person's consciousness is not as precise as a machine; it is chaotic. Sudden thoughts can lead to different decisions in the same situation.
And since free will exists, absolute destiny does not.
After understanding this point, the shadow in Richard's heart dissipated significantly.
If absolute destiny does not exist, then even if his fate is predetermined, his every action can influence others' destinies. His mentor survived because of him, and his lover retreated from the frontlines.
In the future, he might be able to save tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Wizards from death.
Everything he does is not meaningless!
"I understand, Teacher."
Richard solemnly bowed to Jolod.
