Book 5: Chapter 8: The Correct Way to Deal with the Luck
Root Shiki and the two transcenders did not dare to stop Chen Xiu. While Chen Xiu was not allowed to kill the world consciousness, they couldn’t stop him from beating it up. What’s wrong? Do you want to get beaten in its place?
“That’s right. Where did the luck gained from working for the world consciousnesses go?” Chen Heng had only just thought of it. That luck could not have vanished into thin air, right?
“Speaking about that makes me angry. While I did not do that many things for those world consciousnesses, they were all major things. The luck to bless my descendants generated from those actions had reached this world. However, because that trashy world consciousness went to sleep without designating anyone to receive the luck, the world’s automatic mechanism scattered the luck to the entire world. This pushed the limits of combat prowess of this world upwards, making a high-martial world a supreme-martial world.”
As Chen Xiu spoke, his emotions, which had calmed down after he crushed the world consciousness, flared up again. Then he shifted his gaze to the newborn world consciousness standing there in a daze.
That muddled world consciousness shivered when Chen Xiu glanced at it.
“Ah! Ancestor, calm down. You have already crushed one world consciousness. You can’t crush another one, right? Furthermore, this consciousness is different from the previous world consciousness.”
Chen Heng was the closest to his ancestor. When he noticed something off with his ancestor’s expression, he quickly dissuaded his ancestor.
“Don’t worry. I said before, ‘Your ancestor is not some murderous demon who kills at the drop of a hat.’” Chen Xiu only looked, not intending to attack it. After all, it was the world consciousness he had created.
Of course, Chen Xiu had encountered similar situations when working for the world consciousnesses. When he arrived, the world consciousness had already died, so he would use the original world consciousness’s world origin to re-create a world consciousness. Why else was he so familiar with the procedure? This had happened several times, so he had no parental feelings towards the created world consciousness.
“Then, Ancestor, is there really no remnant of that good fortune and luck?” Chen Heng felt very upset inside. This was as good as the inheritance left to him by his ancestor being given to the entire world.
“The luck has already been spread throughout the world. Of course, it is possible to take it all back, but that would cause substantial damage to the world. Furthermore, it is not that we can’t reclaim the greatest effect of this good fortune, but…”
“But what?”
“There’s no rush. Only you and I remain in the entire Chen Clan. As a transcender, luck is of no use to me. You joined the Dimension Administrators Association. Honestly speaking, the luck and good fortune I left are not that useful to you, so taking back the good fortune and luck is not the best solution.”
After speaking, Chen Xiu drank another mouthful of tea. This was the first time in who knew how long that he got to drink the tea his juniors had brewed. He truly missed it, even though the tea’s quality was not up to par.
“As a transcender, I am capable of reclaiming all the luck and good fortune without the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference daring to say much. However, it would be interesting to push this matter to the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference. The Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference will not reclaim the luck and good fortune, as that would be equivalent to demoting a supreme-martial world to a high-martial world. That would deal a massive blow to the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference’s reputation. We can use this good fortune and luck to exchange for better benefits for you.”
Chen Xiu was not a rash person. A rash person could not have cultivated to transcendence. Every transcender counted; they were absolutely not fools. Even those battle maniacs were not stupid, just unwilling to think.
Now, only two people remained in the Chen Clan. Furthermore, the good fortune and luck were useless to these two, so they might as well exchange the luck for something better, something…they normally could not obtain.
Furthermore, the Multidimensional World Consciousness Conference was negligent in this matter. If it did not compensate them with something good, Chen Xiu would dare clash with it.
“But, Ancestor, even if we cannot use the luck, our descendants can.” Although Chen Heng had no descendants now, it did not stop him from planning for the future.
“Not bad! Heng`er, it’s good you think of this. However, you don’t have to worry. I know about your work with the Dimension Administrators Association. You are considered a world-level civil servant, just below the dimensional sea level. When you complete the missions issued by the world consciousnesses, you will also generate good fortune and luck on top of the mission rewards. After you do more missions, your descendants will be amply blessed. Speaking of which, the Dimension Administrators Association was set up to handle the mess from those two’s fight. Right, I should go beat them up again when I return. To think those two foolish children dared to ignite soul fire in the dimensional sea. Serves them right to lose more than half their strength.”
“Erm…Ancestor, although it’s not good of me to say this, the Dimension Administrators Association has helped me significantly.” The words of the Chen Clan ancestor had shocked Chen Heng. Now, he truly understood his ancestor’s level.
Those two transcenders’ battle had caused an upheaval in the dimensional sea, but Chen Heng’s ancestor could beat those two up on a whim. This was indeed somewhat terrifying. No wonder Luo Li’s system behaved like a mouse seeing a cat.
“That makes sense. I’ll spare them this once. I’m not done yet. Actually, I did not earn much good fortune and luck by working for the world consciousnesses. This world could improve to a supreme-martial world from a high-martial world because it was already on the threshold, so we might as well convert the luck into more precious resources. While your becoming a transcender with these resources would be questionable, they would certainly keep you from dying.”
Ancestor, is your idea of keeping me from dying different from my idea of it?
“Hey, Ancestor, what exactly is a transcender?”
“Actually, there is no strict definition of a transcender. When you can beat up a world consciousness and receive an invitation from the Purple Firmament Palace, you can call yourself a transcender. Don’t bite off more than you can chew; it is extremely difficult to become a transcender. There are not many transcenders in the entire dimensional sea. Currently, there are less than 200 in the Purple Firmament Palace. This is basically all the transcenders in the dimensional sea. Of course, transcenders differ in strength. Furthermore, after one becomes a transcender, it would not be suitable for one to remain in the world, as a transcender’s existence would cause irreversible damage to the world, even without using their strength. Merely existing places a heavy burden on the world, so most transcenders go to Purple Firmament Palace, a high-level plane, to cultivate.“
