Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 396: Dividing the Soup
Those who prosper because of good luck will eventually fall into the quagmire due to the decline of their good luck. This is the inevitable fate of those who achieve enlightenment through good luck.

Ao Bing was very clear about this. When he decided to use his luck to practice, he had already made this preparation.

The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. The cost of practicing with the help of luck is certainly high, but correspondingly, the benefits are also great.

Just like now, with the blessing of the Immortal Alliance's luck, Ao Bing not only possesses strength comparable to those of great supernatural powers, or even the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but also has a corresponding perspective on cultivation.

Just imagine, if we examine his current realm from the perspective of a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, would his cultivation speed not be fast?

It is not only fast, but also stable. It can avoid all mistakes on the path of practice in advance and break through with the most perfect attitude.

Good luck can allow people to practice at a higher level in advance. This is why countless powerful people in the prehistoric world, including saints, are struggling to pursue good luck.

The further you practice, the more confused you become. Especially after you reach the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, there is no way forward. If you want to move forward, you need to explore and open up on your own.

Without the guidance of predecessors, it is undoubtedly the most difficult to forge your own path.

At times like this, if one could have a higher level of perspective in advance, it would undoubtedly point the way forward for oneself and save countless years of hard training.

Luck is so mysterious that it enables people to reach a realm they have never reached before.

That is why it fascinates people and they would rather take huge risks to possess it as much as possible.

Of course, the reason why the powerful people in the ancient times dared to pursue luck was more because of their self-confidence.

First, he was confident that the power he had established would never decline. Second, he was confident that he could solve the problem of backlash of luck.

Yes, backlash of luck sounds scary, but it is not without a solution. The most well-known one is to ensure that the power you build never weakens.

If your power remains strong and prosperous, your luck will continue uninterrupted. In this way, you naturally don't have to worry about the backlash of luck.

In the ancient times, the winds are strong and the waves are high. Who among those who dare to establish power and achieve great things does not have the confidence of being invincible?
They all firmly believed that the forces they built would never decline, would be immortal, and would coexist with the heaven and earth. Therefore, they never considered the problem of backlash.

However, history has proven that most of the strong people who have this kind of aspirations only have confidence but lack the corresponding ability.

Either they are killed by others because their skills are not as good as others, or they fail in the struggle for supremacy, their power is destroyed, and they die due to the backlash of bad luck.

In short, although this path is indeed feasible, few people can make it to the end.

Since the first path is difficult to take, the second path soon comes into being, that is, as long as I am strong enough, the backlash of luck will not be able to do anything to me.

This sounds unreasonable, but the strong have the power to be willful, or in other words, the truth has always been made by the strong.

No matter how strong the backlash of luck is, it has a limit, and the power will not exceed the increase it brings.

That is to say, the backlash force generated by the luck of a great master will not exceed that of a great master, and will not reach the level of a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Since the power of luck backlash has an upper limit, it is easy to solve it.

As long as you practice fast enough and raise your cultivation to a level that surpasses your luck before the backlash of luck comes, you won't be afraid of the backlash of luck.

Take Ao Bing as an example. As long as he had cultivated to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian before the decline of the Immortal Alliance, even if the Immortal Alliance was destroyed afterwards, the resulting backlash of luck would at most cause him serious damage, but he would not lose his life.

Ao Bing couldn't say how long the Immortal Alliance could hold out, he could only do his best to maintain it. But since he dared to cultivate with the help of luck, he was sure that he could cultivate to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian before the Immortal Alliance weakened.

For most powerful people in the prehistoric world, achieving the state of Hunyuan is an unattainable dream in this lifetime.

But for Ao Bing, cultivating to the Hunyuan realm has never been a problem, because he has already reserved the Hunyuan position in advance. All he needs to do next is to slowly endure the time, and sooner or later he will be able to reach this realm.

The merit of repairing the stars, the merit of repairing the ancestral veins, the merit of establishing the underworld, the merit of creating the incense and the way of the gods, the merit of issuing currency, the merit of combing the earth's veins...

There are so many great meritorious deeds, even if Ao Bing only contributed a little to each of them, when added together, the merits generated are enough for him to cultivate to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Establishing the Immortal Alliance was only one of Ao Bing's many advantages. Apart from that, he still had many advantages that accelerated his cultivation. This was why he was confident that he could achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian realm before the Immortal Alliance disintegrated.

He had so many good cards in his hand, but he still lost. He deserved to die from the backlash of bad luck.

……

…………

With the help of the perspective of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, Ao Bing felt that what he saw was completely different. The prehistoric world was still the prehistoric world, but everything had turned into Dao patterns.

Everything in the world is made up of Dao patterns. Countless Dao patterns intertwine and interlock with each other, forming all things, including the Dao and the rules. The more Dao patterns there are, the more mysterious it is.

Ao Bing only took a cursory glance and felt endless insights surging in his mind, making him involuntarily want to gain enlightenment.

Not only that, even the wonders of time and space that he had been pursuing, now revealed its true face in his eyes. All the mysteries were clearly presented without any concealment.

From this mysterious perspective, Ao Bing was confident that as long as he gave up everything and concentrated on practicing for hundreds of thousands of years.

Then he will be able to perfect the mythological system, go further, step into the realm of mythological Daluo, master the wonders of time and space, integrate countless parallel time and space in one body, and possess the ability to reverse cause and effect.

It's a pity that he can only think about this kind of thing. Now that the Immortal Alliance has just been established, there is a lot of work to be done. There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. How can he give up everything and concentrate on practicing?

If he wants to practice without distraction, he must at least wait until everything in the Immortal Alliance is on the right track.

"Congratulations, leader. You are now blessed with good fortune and have a promising future. This is truly enviable."

Just when Ao Bing was obsessed with the changes brought about by his luck, the elders of the Immortal Alliance spoke up. They congratulated him, but in fact they were reminding him not to eat alone.

The Immortal Alliance is a whole, but it not only has a leader, but also thirty-six quasi-saint elders, who also need luck to assist in their practice.

After the establishment of the Immortal Alliance, although the leader ate the meat, the status of the elders was not low either. Even if they did not ask for the same treatment as the leader, they had to at least get some soup to drink.

The elders spoke at this time because they were afraid that Ao Bing would be reluctant to give up his luck and would eat alone without leaving a single sip of soup for them.

It's no wonder they are so worried, this kind of thing has happened too many times in history, and many people have suffered from it. Since the beginning of the prehistoric world, countless forces have emerged, but most of them have failed in the first step, that is, unfair distribution of benefits.

The founder was unwilling to share his fortune with his companions, which led to internal strife. As a result, the newly established force was severely damaged before it had a chance to develop, and then quickly disappeared in the long river of history.

Although the Immortal Alliance was established under pressure from everyone, it is undeniable that the Immortal Alliance has great potential and is a quasi-hegemonic force. In the future, there may be hope that it can remove the word "quasi" and become the new hegemon of the world.

Therefore, everyone hoped that the Immortal Alliance would be fine and not collapse, because only in this way could they gain the greatest benefit.

If we want the Immortal Alliance to be well off, the key lies in Ao Bing's attitude, and whether he is willing to share his luck with everyone.

If he is willing to do so, even if he eats the meat and everyone else drinks the soup, for the sake of the future of the Immortal Alliance, everyone can accept it.

But if he was unwilling to give them even a sip of soup, then it would be better for the Immortal Alliance to disband as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would really be working for Ao Bing for nothing.

After working hard for a long time, all the benefits went to Ao Bing, and they got nothing. Whoever is willing to do this thankless task can do it, but they don't want to do it anyway.

"Please rest assured, fellow Taoists. The establishment of the Immortal Alliance is entirely due to your contributions, so I will never enjoy this good fortune alone."

Ao Bing came back to his senses, guessed what everyone was thinking, and quickly expressed his opinion.

He almost forgot that although the Immortal Alliance had a lot of luck, it did not belong entirely to him. At least one third had to be given to the elders, one third to the disciples, and the remaining one third would belong to him.

One third may not sound like much, but it is actually a lot. You know, Ao Bing's one third of luck is his alone, but the elders' one third is shared by thirty-six people.

And one third of the disciples, not to mention. Although the Immortal Alliance is not recruiting disciples now, the number of disciples in the future will definitely not be small, let alone thirty-six, thirty-six thousand will not be enough.

Therefore, if we really break it down, each elder actually doesn't get much luck, and the disciples get even less. Only Ao Bing alone enjoys one-third of the luck, which is far more than everyone else.

Of course, the luck was distributed, but because Ao Bing was the leader of the Immortal Alliance, these luck still belonged to him in name.

Therefore, the increase in strength brought to him by luck will not change, but what will change is the perspective, and he will probably fall from a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian back to a person with great supernatural powers.

It is a bit low, but correspondingly, after the Immortal Alliance weakens, the backlash of luck will be reduced accordingly.

Boom!

Following Ao Bing's statement, the fortune of the Immortal Alliance suddenly changed. First, one third was divided, and then it was divided equally into thirty-six parts, which fell into the bodies of the thirty-six elders of the Immortal Alliance.

This is one third that belongs to the elders, and as for the one third that belongs to the disciples, because the Immortal Alliance has not yet recruited disciples, it is temporarily in charge of Ao Bing.

This one third of luck will not be returned to them until the Immortal Alliance starts recruiting disciples.

The reason why they are all one-third is because the establishment of the Immortal Alliance mainly relies on three forces, namely Ao Bing and the thirty-six scattered cultivators and quasi-saints, as well as the lineage of the alien species of heaven and earth.

It just so happens that their identities are leader, elder, and disciple, respectively, which can form a separation of powers and check and balance each other.

The Immortal Alliance was formed by three forces. If they wanted to divide the luck, they would definitely divide it equally among the three parties, not by number of people. This would show fairness. It was for this reason that Ao Bing was able to enjoy one third of the luck.

As for the independent cultivators, quasi-saints and alien lineages, no matter how many there were, they were a group when it came to dividing the luck. Therefore, they each shared one-third of the luck.

"The destiny of heaven and earth is truly mysterious!"

The moment good luck came upon them, the thirty-six elders of the Immortal Alliance all felt a difference, although not as obvious as Ao Bing's, it also significantly improved their perspectives.

Yes, there is only perspective, but no strength. All the strength is bestowed on Ao Bing. This is the benefit of the leader and the guarantee of the military strength of the Immortal Alliance.

The strength must be concentrated in one person. Only in this way can the external enemies be greatly deterred.

On the contrary, although dispersing strength can enhance the overall strength of the Immortal Alliance, without top-level experts in charge, how can it deter external enemies?
The collective power is indeed strong, but this is the primitive world where Taoism is practiced and there is no upper limit to individual strength. It is easy for individual power to overwhelm the collective.

Therefore, for a collective to be strong, it must not only be strong as a whole, but also have strong enough individuals, so that it can gain a foothold in the wilderness.

"Sure enough, the perspective has fallen from Hunyuan to the Great Divine Power."

At the same time, Ao Bing, who had lost one third of his luck, immediately felt that his perspective began to drop, from Hunyuan to the limit of Half-Step Hunyuan, which is the level of a top-level master with great magical powers.

Although it will drop by one third later, this is probably the limit. After all, the first batch of disciples recruited by the Immortal Alliance are the reincarnations of the North Sea alien species.

Not only do they carry a lot of luck themselves, but with their reincarnation, they can also bring some good luck to the Immortal Alliance.

With this calculation, the luck brought by the alien lineage is enough to offset the one-third of luck that Ao Bing gave them.

The luck of a force is not static. Recruiting disciples certainly divides a part of the luck, but the disciples themselves also have luck.

Whether this inflow and outflow results in profit or loss depends on the level of the disciple.

If the disciples recruited are all people with great luck, then it is definitely a profit. On the contrary, if the disciples recruited are all ordinary people, then it is definitely a loss.

The alien lineage was born with the luck of opening up the sky, and they were not ordinary people anyway. Their joining would undoubtedly improve the luck of the Immortal Alliance as a whole.

And as the total amount increases, even if it is only one third, it will be better than the previous two thirds.

Now, Ao Bing and others who have enjoyed the benefits brought by luck are looking forward to the arrival of the alien lineage. Especially the elders of the Immortal Alliance, they are looking forward to it.

They were looking forward to the arrival of the alien lineage more than Ao Bing, because the luck they obtained was limited and far less than Ao Bing's.

One third of the luck is divided equally among them, with each person getting only one thirty-sixth.

This amount of luck is really not much, and the improvement it brings to them is limited. At most, it can only improve them to a small realm. It is far from being like Ao Bing, who can be directly improved to the level of a top-level master with great supernatural powers.

Human desires are insatiable, especially when there is comparison, so they desperately want more.

The arrival of the alien lineage would undoubtedly bring them more luck. Therefore, they were looking forward to it.
