Chapter 282 281: Luck
"I've reached a realm that'll attract countless enemies?"
As Corey read the system remark, Corey raised his brows slightly with a pondering glint in his eyes.
A few seconds later, Corey chuckled with a light smile.
Ever since he became a Paragon, his destiny was definitely filled with countless battles and enemies.
So, him reaching this so called 'realm' made no difference to him.
Corey chuckled once again, then his gaze shifted towards something he had previously ignored on his status screen.
His luck.
He was previously unsure on whether his new luck stat was high, but when he looked at his status screen, he realized that his luck stat was extremely high.
From what he could see, the limit of his luck was meant to be 100, but his new luck stat was now a whopping 789.42.
"Why is it so high?"
Corey furrowed his brows as he tried to figure out a reason. But, no matter how much he thought about it, the only thing he could come up with was that his new luck stat had something to do with the first tribulation of hell or the gaze of the Eye of God.
[It's one of the rewards for succesfully passing the First Tribulation of Hell.]
A familiar voice rang out in Corey's mind, startling Corey slightly.
"Nina?"
Corey subsconsciously spoke out loud when he heard Nina's voice.
After he told her that he stayed till the end under the gaze of the Eye of God, Nina had been strangely quiet.
Corey did not know why she was quiet, but he was not too bothered nor was he that interested to ask.
And surprisingly, she had spoke.
[Every Paragon, whether a True Paragon or Demi-Paragon, has what is called The Bloodline of Sin in them.]
[The bloodline of sin is like a curse for the weak, and a blessing for the strong.]
[It is due to the bloodline of sin that Paragons have to survive a tribulation of hell to tier up. That is if they don't have an infinity crystal."
[I would not go into much details regarding the bloodline of sin and hell because you don't need it. The Paragon Ancestor has conquered hell, and has done some things to not burden Paragons and Demi-Paragons in the future.]
[Paragons-]
"Wait."
Corey interrupted, much to the displeasure of Nina.
"If the Paragon Ancestor has conquered hell, then why do younger Paragons and Demi-Paragons have to undergo the tribulations of hell?"
Although, Corey did not want to interrupt Nina, he needed to ask why the Paragon Ancestor still allowed Paragons and Demi-Paragons to undergo the tribulations of hell if he had conquered hell.
The tribulations of hell was an extremely dangerous place, and even the Paragon Ancestor previously told him that one needed to at least be a tier 7 to survive the tribulations.
So, for the Paragon Ancestor to still allow young Paragons and Demi-Paragons to undergo the tribulations of hell baffled Corey.
Nina remained silent for a while, and her reply surprised Corey.
[I don't know.]
"Huh?"
Corey was stunned, and for a second, he thought he heard it wrong.
Did the proud and arrogant Nina who behaved like she knew everything just say, 'She didn't know?'
"You don't know?"
Corey asked once again for clarification, and a snort resounded in his mind.
[I don't know alright.]
Nina responded with a tinge of anger in her tone.
She could practically guess what was going on in Corey's mind, and it ticked her off.
[If I was to guess. It's because the opportunities in the tribulations are very rare, and most of them cannot be gotten in any other place.]
[For example, from my knowledge, the only place that has the Eye of God is Hell.]
Nina said and Corey raised his brows slightly.
[Although, the tribulations are extremely dangerous. If a Paragon or Demi-Paragon is able to survive, they could gain unimaginable benefits… Take yourself as an example.]
[Have you not earned a lot just by flawlessly passing the First Tribulation of Hell?]
When Corey heard Nina's words, he realized that her words definitely made some sense.
Assuming there were more Paragons and Demi-Paragons like him who could survive the tribulations of hell, and even gain from it, won't those Paragons or DemiParagons be beneficial to the Paragons as a whole?
'Although, this method is somewhat ingenious. I'm pretty sure that a lot of Paragons and Demi-Paragons would have died as a result of this.'
Corey thought, but decided not to speak out loud.
What were his thoughts compared to a being that had lived for an extremely long time.
[Also, the Paragon Ancestor has actually made it a lot easier for Paragons and Demi-Paragons regarding Hell.]
[Normally, anybody with the bloodline of sin would have a timer before they undergo a tribulation.]
[A tribulation was not going to wait until you reached the next tier or realm. It would start when it was meant to start.]
[But, the Paragon Ancestor changed the rules and made it that Paragons and Demi-Paragons went through the tribulations of hell when tiering up. That is if they don't have an inifinity crystal to tier up.]
A pondering glint appeared in Corey's eyes when he heard Nina's words.
[Anyways, as I was saying before you interrupted me.]
[Paragons have what is called The Bloodline of Sin. Although it's because of this bloodline that Paragons and Demi-Paragons undergo the tribulations of hell, it also has its benefits.]
[One of them is luck. If somebody with the bloodline of sin successfully survives a tribulation of hell, they get an increase in their luck.]
[The amount of luck an individual gets is heavily dependent on their performance in the tribulation.]
When Corey heard this, he looked at his status screen.
[An average performance in the first tribulation usually gives about 100 luck. If I'm right, you should have gotten a luck value of 777.77.]
A stunned expression appeared on Corey's face, and with twitching lips, he looked at his luck stat on his status screen.
789.42
'789.42 minus 777.77 is… 11.65.'
"..."
"My luck was that bad?!"
