Zhu Mingzhao was entangled in the system. The system talked about "saving the world" and "ascension" every day, saying that it would help her ascend, so she just had to believe it.
Zhu Mingzhao never believed in any predetermined destiny. She wanted to ascend to immortality, and her destiny should be in her own hands.
Purpose: Those who cultivate immortality must first cultivate their hearts. Without virtue and incompetence, one cannot become an immortal.
