For hours I paddled the canoe representing my mastery of fate plunder using my understanding of fate plunder on the river of fate plunder hoping to find the thing I needed to increase my understanding of fate plunder from plus ultra to ultimate but I gained nothing. 

I watch the fate plunder river flow unhindered in the spiritual plane, plundering the celestial beings I have never seen or heard of. Those who dared to stand in it were either destroyed or had become a part of it. 

It only has been hours of unsuccessful search and I was already getting impatient but imagining that my search could take years or even decades I could only steel my mind and continue my search hoping that it doesnʼt take so long. 

Even with a 90 percent synchronous rate, I was having such a hard time achieving full mastery in a rule meaning so I felt a newfound appreciation for the other card apprentice who had achieved full mastery in their rule meaning despite their lower-grade ego gems. I guess there was a limit to how much an ego gem could assist their card apprentice when it came to comprehension of rules and their meanings. 

Well, the synchronous rate of an ego gem did not entirely determine a personʼs talent in rule comprehension but how close the card apprentice could get to Card Worldʼs Will in the spiritual plane using the spiritual channel of their ego gem and how many rules were within the range of their spiritual channel. 

90 percent synchronous rate only meant I could use my spiritual channel to go deeper into the spiritual plane i.e. get a lot closer to Card Worldʼs Will giving me access to many rules in it. 

Considering that I was in sector ES0012 of Inter-Realm City in the spiritual plane, the synchronous rate of my mutated ego gem didnʼt matter much except for its spiritual channel raising my sensitivity and affinity for rules and their meanings.

The synchronous rate of the Spiritual Channel determines how deeper into the spiritual plane it can lead its userʼs spiritual body. It could also be interpreted as the length of a card apprenticeʼs spiritual channel. The longer a personʼs spiritual channel the deeper it went in the spiritual plane allowing the card apprentice to get closer to Worldʼs Will. 

Some card apprentices believed that the long spiritual channel meant higher sensitivity and affinity to rules and their meanings. Hence, card apprentices started to relate the synchronous rate of an ego gem with a card apprenticeʼs sensitivity and affinity with rules and their meanings. 

There was evidence supporting this theory, longer spiritual channels do indeed seem to display higher sensitivity and affinity to rules and their meanings. But the length of a card apprenticeʼs ego gemʼs spiritual channels wasnʼt the only factor determining a card apprenticeʼs talent in rule mastery so it was wrong to say that the synchronous rate of the ego gem determined the talent of a card apprentice in rule mastery. 

The synchronous rate was more like the level of access, the higher the synchronous rate the higher the access user had to rules and their meaning when they entered the spiritual plane through their spiritual channel while they were in one with the world state. 

The synchronous rate of my mutated ego gem helped me find the river of Fate plunder meaning but since arriving at the river I have only managed to increase my understanding of Fate plunder based on my observation of the Fate Plunder river and its majesty. 

Now, it was proving to be not enough for me to advance my understanding of the fate plunder to the ultimate level. I could keep drifting along with the flow of the fate plunder river for days, months, years, or even decades in search of an epiphany or sudden enlightenment required for me to advance my understanding to the ultimate level or I could take action to create the epiphany or enlightenment I need. 

But the question was, how do I do that? I was on a canoe drifting with the raging river, there was not much I could do here. Then a scary idea crossed my mind, why donʼt I swim in the Fate plunder river? 

When blankly staring into the river for hours yielded no result I was bored outta my mind so swimming in the river which could swallow celestial beings did not sound like such a scary idea to me. I prepared to dive into the river and…

*Plop*

Taking a plunge into the river, I tried to stabilize my body and swim with the flow of the river but the unruly currents of the river were too wild and they rolled me haphazardly. No matter how hard I tried I could not gain control of my body. If this continued I would drown for sure. 

I was very close to losing hope but I didnʼt. Instead, I steeled my heart and calmed myself to understand the currents of the river but no matter how hard I tried to understand them I got nowhere. 

Just when I felt I was about to drown I came to a realization and began to consider that these currents were like the ripples in my blood rule pond. Soon with my understanding of the fate plunder meaning of blood rule, I began to counter the currents of the Fate Plunder river.

Finally, I began to understand the currents of the river. Then my understanding of the Fate Plunder and the currents of the river slowly came together forming a kind of harmony that gave me stability in the river, allowing me to swim with the flow of the fate plunder river. 

Harmonizing my understanding of the fate plunder with currents or the fate plunder river I felt my understanding of fate plunder finally begin to show signs of advancements.
