Chapter 577 The Situation, Taking Office

Li An walked out of Fan Guanyun's residence.Gazing at the blue sky and white clouds, hands on his hips, a look of melancholy on his face.Not long ago, someone had sent him a message.The situation in the heavens was changing rapidly.The attitudes of the Asura and Demon races had become mysterious and unpredictable, but the only certainty was that they wouldn't immediately switch sides.The God Realm was quiet for a time.Even more certain was that the Demon Realm and Ghost Realm would inevitably attack the Human Realm.Back then, the Demon Realm's leader had been killed by the Tyrant.Everyone thought this was a good thing.But unexpectedly, during the months Li An was in seclusion, the infamous Demon Ancestor emerged.A monster even older than the Heaven Thief.His true strength was unknown; all that was known was that after emerging from seclusion, he had subdued the entire Demon Realm in just half a month, once again achieving complete rule, and was already recruiting soldiers.The Demon Realm's recruitment of troops is definitely not for attacking the God Realm.The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.The Third Great Wall of the Human Realm stands in the way of the Demon Realm's invasion.Six months later, Li An will arrive at the Eighteenth War Zone of the Third Great Wall.He will face the Demon Realm's fiercest offensive.Now, all the realms are watching him, waiting to see his performance.But the most dangerous enemy is actually within the Human Realm itself.At Li An's level of cultivation, winning hearts and minds is paramount.Now that Li An is in power, the petty people are quiet.But if Li An loses on the battlefield, the greater his current momentum, the greater the doubts will be.Therefore, Li An can only win, not lose.Of course, the benefits of victory are numerous.Luck.The Luck Bead is ready.Using it on the battlefield when the elements of law fill the sky will allow him to absorb a large amount of luck.Furthermore, there have been some hints from above.The human realm has now mastered some formulas for using Qi Luck.This should solve the problem of improving Dao Fruit and realm in the future.Especially since Shuang Han and Li An had a private conversation about it.Other war zones use Qi Luck Beads, which are divided 50/50 between the war zones and the human realm headquarters.You, on the other hand, use it all yourself.How much you absorb, how much you use, and how quickly your strength increases depends on your own ability.Li An's biggest concern has also been resolved.Will using Qi Luck to advance in realm lead to an unstable realm, an unstable foundation, and a decrease in combat power instead of an increase?But Liu Da Hu has already researched this.The use of Qi Luck is very complex, with countless variations.For example, why were those good-for-nothings in the Immortal Realm so weak in combat? Because they used Qi Luck to directly boost their realm, and their method was primitive and flawed.This would cause an unstable realm and consume a lot of Qi Luck.There is a more perfect method of use.At Li An's level, to improve his Dao Fruit, he needs opportunities and to participate in a series of trials of the heart.This "Questioning the Heart" isn't something you can encounter at will; it depends on fate.However, destiny can directly create a "Questioning the Heart," and you walk the path yourself—the process still occurs.In other words, you can actively create opportunities using destiny, and then seize those opportunities through your own abilities.This consumes less destiny, and your cultivation level won't be affected.It's not just about the Dao Fruit.Perhaps the path to physical sainthood can also be built using destiny.The gap in cultivation knowledge between the mortal realm and the celestial realm is enormous.For the celestial realm, the path to ascension, the path to the Dao Fruit, the realm of the soul, etc., are vague or even insurmountable in the mortal realm, paths that depend solely on chance, but are clear in the celestial realm.The root of everything is destiny.In the mortal realm, how does one walk the path to physical sainthood? One word—refinement.This word is simple, but its meaning is abstract. How to refine? To what extent? Is there a progress bar?There are no answers.Destiny, however, can directly lead to the answer; you walk it, and you succeed.In the Celestial Realm, this is called opening a 'door'.Fortune can open doors.Doors for advancing to the Dao Fruit realm, for physical sainthood, for the soul realm.When a door opens, a person walks in, passes the test, and their realm improves. Compared to normal cultivators, the final reward remains the same, but the trials and tribulations are drastically simplified.Li An looked at the Fortune Bead in his hand. If the amount of fortune inside was large enough, he could now open the door to the Fifth Heaven Dao Fruit realm.The battlefield is the fastest way to acquire fortune in the short term, and it's also the Celestial Realm's method of reaping rewards from the mortal world.Zhuge Tianming had sternly told Li An that with his current level, he couldn't influence the overall situation.He must grow to the level of a decision-maker as quickly as possible.That day will be the time for the mortal world to launch a counterattack against the Celestial Realm.But great things must be done slowly; the more rushed, the more chaotic.Even in the Celestial Realm, war will still be fought.Li An must have his own team.The most important reason for choosing Fan Guanyun was her talent.She was a genius at the Temple level, capable of keeping up with his progress. In the future, when he was promoted to a higher position, he wouldn't need a logistics department head with a higher cultivation level, especially since her strength was undeniable—she was incredibly useful.But now, someone else had snatched her away.Li An realized then that his level had truly risen.Before, he was just a young genius, participating in the Bright Sword Tournament and advancing through the Temple—these were like small worlds with their own rules.Now, he had stepped out of those small worlds and entered the real, larger world.Your opponents were no longer your peers, but everyone.Competitors are enemies.Other strategists had already personally intervened to recruit her while he was in seclusion. Having a Temple genius working under them—how easy would that be? It was a dream come true.This world doesn't revolve around Li An alone. Others also need battle merits, they need to eat, they need to win battles, and they need to survive.They won't be polite to you.Meng Chen also told Li An, "You're not the same Li An you used to be.You're Master Li, God Li, a pivotal figure in the heavens.Such a person needs to find his own way to solve all problems."Logistics Department..." Li An gritted his teeth, finally contacting his biggest trump card.Ke Xiu!The demon race!Race might bring problems.But having more debts means less worry.Is Lin He a pure-blooded human?As long as I can control him!Besides, if the human race wins in the end, the demon and asura races' attitudes will definitely become clear.Then, Li An contacted Ke Xiu. Everything was as easy as ever; the other party nodded frantically, agreeing to everything.Finally, Li An said, "Then come find me now."Although Ke Xiu doesn't have Fan Guanyun's freakish construction skills, he can refine pills!On the battlefield, pills are a strategic resource.Cultivators may not need to eat now, but they need to cast spells, which burn source energy. Pills can replenish source energy and physical strength.Therefore, food is essential!“Ke Xiu is in charge of logistics.”“Lin He is in charge of intelligence gathering and leading the mobile forces.”“Shuang Xue is in charge of the main attack.” The remaining air force and army will have to go to the war zone and see what they have there.Now, Li An is a high-ranking strategist, and resources are plentiful.He suddenly thought, what am I going to do if I wait another six months?Where I cultivate doesn't matter?I might as well go to the border town and settle down to learn about the soldiers and customs there.But before that, Li An has one more thing to do.Back then, he was young and couldn't even protect himself, so he needed the sacrifice of some people to gain his freedom.But now it's different.He is a very important figure!Li An contacted his connections, Xu Zhiye, the son of Xu Xu, the Starfire Domain Lord."Old Xu, I need to bail someone out, and please pass on a message for me.""What he lost back then, I will repay him a hundredfold!"
