Chapter 284 283: Blessed Items
After Corey heard the consequences of failing a tribulation of hell, his lips could not help but twitch.
Death being a consequence was not surprising to him. But the other two, not being able to reincarnate and eternity of torment really surprised Corey.
Reincarnation was a thing of fantasy and far-fetched ideas that some religions possessed.
Never did he think that reincarnation could be possible.
When he thought of reincarnation, a glint appeared in his eyes as he remembered his parents.
Could his parents be reincarnated?
When Corey had this thought, he shook his head softly.
Even if his parents could be reincarnated, he did not possess the sort of power to reincarnate his parents.
Maybe only beings like the Paragon Ancestor possessed the ability of reincarnation.
As for the second consequence of failure, Corey could not help but shudder.
If he failed a tribulation of hell, he would be tortured for eternity.
Eternity was a concept Corey could not fathom, nor did he want to fathom at his current age and tier.
Just the thought of eternity made Corey shudder, talk less of an eternity of torment.
Corey released a sigh, then he furrowed his brows slightly as he thought of something.
"Nina?"
[Hmm?"]
"Why did the Universal System previously write '???/100' as my luck stat?"
Despite Corey knowing that his question was largely irrelevant, he still decided to ask since he was immensely curious about his previous luck stat.
His current luck was 789.42. A value which was way higher than the supposed limit, 100, that the Universal System put on his status window.
The difference was way too high for him not to be curious about his luck stat.
[You know that your original luck was extremely low and poor right?]
Corey nodded.
[Normally, increasing an individual's natural luck is something that should not be possible at all.]
[The amount of luck an individual possesses has been fixed from birth. Increasing it is something most powerful beings cannot even accomplish.]
Corey raised his brows.
[There are items that can increase a person's luck. These items are called Blessed Items.]
'Blessed Items?'
'Cursed Items?'
Corey frowned.
[Although, blessed items can increase a person's luck, it's a temporary increase. As long as the blessed items are removed from the person's body, the person's luck would be reverted back to normal.]
[The reason why your luck had a limit of 100 was due to items that could increase a person's luck.]
[Assuming you found a lot of items that could increase your luck, the limit to which your luck could be increased to would be 100.]
Corey's eyes contained a profound glint when he heard Nina's words.
Her words had dispelled the confusion he had towards his luck stat.
He rubbed his chin a few times, then he spread out his right palm.
In the blink of an eye, an object appeared in his palm.
The object was a golden necklace with a golden cross as the pendant. This was the golden necklace he stole, no, took from the treasury of the Underworld Emporium.
As Corey held the necklace, he finally realized what the necklace truly was.
The necklace was one of the objects he 'took', which he could not figure out its purpose no matter what he did.
"The necklace can increase a person's luck. It's a blessed item."
Corey mumbled as he could perceive a familiar aura from the necklace.
He frowned as he tried to recall where he had perceived the same aura, and a few seconds later, his eyes lit up.
"The Eye of God."
Corey exclaimed softly when he finally realized why he felt the aura of the necklace was extremely familiar.
Even though Corey almost died at the gaze of the Eye of God, he could still remember that a certain part of the aura of the Eye of God was almost the same as the golden necklace.
Corey gazed at the necklace for some seconds, then he wore it.
He summoned his status window and looked at his luck stat.
Luck: 789.42 → 799.42
"An increase of ten?"
Corey raised his brows at the pitifully low increase in his luck.
But, he then remembered his original trashy amount of luck and he held his tongue.
[You don't need to check your status screen to see the amount of luck you have. Use your Tri-Pupil Eyes to look at your right arm.]
Nina's voice resounded in his ear, and he raised his brows.
His Eyes of Dreams and Nightmares receded and his Tri-Pupil Eyes replaced it.
He looked at his palm and he saw the number 789.42 written in a dark red color.
'789.42?'
Corey frowned.
[It only shows your natural amount of luck.]
Nina clarified, and Corey made an 'oh' sound.
His Tri-Pupil Eyes vanished, and his Eyes of Dreams and Nightmares replaced it.
He looked around for a few seconds, then he stood up while dusting himself.
He looked at his bloody and dirty body, and just as he was about to speak, the blood and dirt on his body receded.
Corey raised his brows.
"Thanks."
[You're welcome.]
Although, he was surprised that Nina took the initiative to clean his body, he didn't ask why, but instead, he thanked her.
What Corey did not know was that his feat of lasting till the end under the gaze of the Eye of God had shaken Nina to the core.
Her disdain towards Corey had lessened considerably, and she knew just how important Corey might become to her, the Paragon Ancestor, and the Queen Mother.
As for why she didn't tell him about what he had accomplished, it was so that a seed of pride would not be sown in Corey's heart.
She did not want him to foolishly think that his potential would automatically be on the same level as the Paragon Ancestor just because of his extraordinary feat in the first tribulation of hell.
Despite all of these happening, Corey only had one thing on his mind.
Saving his sister.
