"Fate of Sky" is usually translated as "Mandate of Heaven" in English. May I congratulate you, you seem to have English Skill at 75% or so <g>

If the Mandate of Heaven is withdrawn, then the ruler has no right to rule. With the Mandate of Heaven, none can oppose the ruler. Without it, none can save him.
