I am now so confused as u guys have even more complicated ellaboration
They are joking with each other and that is confusing you. Ignore them.
These ideas from the first replies are what you need to think about.
Precede means to go first, in time or place. "My older brother preceded me into the world."
"Courage and perseverance can enable us to transcend the obstacles that life puts in our path."
Transcend in this sense, does mean to rise above. I would say that it is nearly always used figuratively like this. It is not usual to say something like: “The younger climber transcended the older one on the mountainside”, or: “The bigger aircraft transcended the smaller during their flight.”
By the way - do not rely on the spell checker on this board! It is misleading.
