Chapter 543 Luck is Everything

Li An lay quietly on his hospital bed, reviewing the events.A war had claimed many lives.Every participant gained something from this experience.Realm, Dao Fruit, and of course, pain, or perhaps, worldly experience.Overnight, Li An's eyes were much deeper than before.He characterized this war—a bizarre war.Whether it was the students of the Temple of Cultivation or the opposing Divine Pavilion, they were all still in school.This was only the second year of their four-year program.Before the war began, no one expected it to escalate to this point, much less that they would die here.The turning point was that group of Heavenly Sons, the underlings of the Underworld King.The entire battle lasted three days and three nights. Initially, everyone approached it with the mindset of a friendly spar, intending to stop when things were nearly over.Until one of the Heavenly Sons killed a demon.The nature of the entire battlefield changed completely.Anger and hatred clouded everyone's judgment. Although they ultimately won, far more people died.Li An felt it wasn't worth it.Because he didn't even know what the ruins were for.What were we fighting for?Li An asked, "Brother Tiger, if we can capture the remaining ruins, will the human world definitely win this battle?"Liu Dahu shook his head. "I don't know.""But the chances of victory will definitely be greater."Li An nodded silently, then thought of another question and asked, "Ren once told me that the Cangtian Clan has a total of thirteen royal families and thirteen surnames.""Was the only one participating in this war from beginning to end the Ming Clan?""Yes," Liu Dahu nodded."What about the remaining twelve families?" Li An asked directly."Will they intervene?""Probably not," Liu Dahu said calmly. "Ren has already told you, the mortal realm is the Cangtian Clan's pasture.""This land of the Alliance Realm belongs to the Ming Clan, and its destiny belongs to the Ming Clan; it has nothing to do with other clans."Li An frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "If the Ming Clan suffers a crushing defeat, will they request aid from other clans?"Liu Dahu replied seriously, "The possibility is infinitesimally close to zero.""Oh?" Li An raised an eyebrow.Liu Dahu said, "Three thousand years ago, I accompanied the tyrant on his campaign and clashed with the celestial clans, so I have some understanding of them.""They never considered the mortal realm their enemy; they believed only other royal families were adversaries."Suddenly, Liu Dahu paused, then said, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, you've become a great figure. There are some things you should know.""That year, the coronation war in the mortal realm attracted several clans, the Ming clan being just one of them.""I personally witnessed them fighting each other.""Because they came to seize territory.""The mortal realm, as a rising star among the heavens, hadn't offended anyone..." "Heavenly Laws can appear, but there's one condition.""To whom does the fortune of this human realm belong?""You need a powerful backer.""Our final answer is that no one is worthy to be our backer.""Our backer is one of our own in the human realm—the Tyrant.""The Tyrant ascends to heaven, occupies the celestial throne, and inherits the fortune of this unclaimed land of the human realm!""The thirteen clans naturally couldn't accept this outcome, so they've been fighting in heaven ever since." Li An said, "So, the more prosperous the fortune of the human realm, the stronger the Tyrant?""That's the logic." Liu Dahu nodded.Li An lowered his head in thought."So, according to this logic, besides the Human Realm, the other seven King Realms all have powerful backers?""These King Realms, leaving aside the distant ones, let's just talk about the Asura Realm and the Demon Realm nearby.""Will they one day attack the Human Realm for the sake of their masters?"Liu Dahu shook his head. "I don't know.""Calling them masters is more like calling them slave owners.""The Demon Realm and the Asura Realm have always harbored thoughts of rebellion, which is why they've allied with the Human Realm.""But whether this rebellion is genuine or feigned, only the actual rulers of these two realms know.""The actual rulers?" Li... An raised an eyebrow and asked, "The Lord of the Asura Realm and the Lord of the Demon Realm?""Of course not." Liu Dahu shook his head. "Is the actual ruler of the human realm the Human King?""Those who truly manipulate everything are invisible to you at your current level.""Li An, these things are too complicated. I've experienced so much, lived so many years, and thought about it for so many years, and I still don't understand. Don't think about it now.""It's good to have a big tree to shelter under.""Just listen to Mr. Tianming." Liu Dahu leaned back, crossed his legs, rested his hands behind his head, and his face clearly showed he was giving up.Li An couldn't understand it either, but the only thing he was certain of was…“It's all for the sake of destiny, right?”“The guild leader has the ability to snatch ownership of this land from the Ming clan, preventing them from continuing to enjoy the destiny of this land, which is why this war is happening now.”“The coronation war three thousand years ago, and the wars before that, were all for destiny.”“What exactly is destiny?”Liu Dahu said calmly, “Have you heard of the law of conservation of energy?”“I think I have.” Li An nodded.Liu Dahu shook his head. “Before destiny appeared, this law might have been true.”“But after destiny appeared, this law was broken.”“The energy in our current world is not conserved. The life activities of all living beings can increase the energy of this world.”“For example, I used a bunch of wood to build a house.”“But what appears is not just a house, but also destiny.”“Destiny can be transformed into any kind of energy. You also saw the Ming clan's methods, directly using destiny to elevate a person's Dao Fruit.”“That means destiny can become wood element, wood.” "As long as we master the Qi (luck/destiny), we can build an endless number of houses.""Endless power can fill the endless desires of all living beings.""Immortality, resurrection, creation of everything, destruction of everything.""With the right Qi, all these things are possible.""That's why the Sons of Heaven are driven mad by it.""And they have achieved a technological monopoly.""The beings of the heavens don't know how to use Qi.""Only the Heavenly Clan knows this technology.""The thirteen royal families of Heaven possess not only a higher life rank than all living beings, but also Qi..." Li An understood."Sigh, it seems Yun Linxin and the others died a very pointless death.""Even if the Alliance of Heaven wins this battle to defend the realm, we won't shake the foundation of the Cangtian Clan. It will only severely weaken the Ming Clan, and it won't affect our human realm.""Not so," Liu Dahu shook his head. "Mr. Tianming once told me this.""The people of the Heavenly World don't understand a principle.""One prospers, all prosper; one suffers, all suffer.""Once the Ming Clan loses the Alliance of Heaven, its vast, even its only, source of fortune.""Then they will inevitably decline, becoming the target of other clans. The Heavenly World might descend into chaos because of this, with clans declaring war on each other.""Li An, ah.""Don't think so much.""Strength!""Strength is the only thing you need to study right now!""Once you reach a higher realm, you'll know everything. With greater strength, you'll fear nothing."
