229: Overdrawing good luck again, bad luck is coming

Currently, there is a rather awkward situation.

Lin Chen's soul capacity is insufficient.

Differentiating into one hundred formatted individuals is his current limit; differentiating even one more formatted individual would prevent him from comprehending new rules, or it would disrupt the current balance, causing the previously sealed formatted individuals to collapse.

His original plan was to increase his soul capacity through his talent, augmenting it by 10% every 10 years, and during this process, to seek treasures that could enhance his soul, thereby increasing his soul capacity.

However, a single God Conferring Banquet completely derailed his plan, forcing him to prioritize increasing his soul capacity.

Relying solely on the soul capacity augmented by his talent, he would need to spend a much longer time to lay out the Myriad Laws Dao Path.

When a plan requires more time to execute, the probability of failure and unexpected incidents increases.

A good plan, on the other hand, can be completed in a short time, which greatly reduces the occurrence of low-probability unexpected events in the time dimension.

"Tsk, plans never keep up with changes. I hope the Five Elements Clones active outside can encounter opportunities related to the soul."

Lin Chen thought to himself, then focused his mind.

Next, it was his turn to preach.

The Dao he preached was naturally not the obscure Causality Dao, but rather the Mirror Dao.

The Mirror Dao is not a particularly unique Dao, and it has a strong correlation with the Dream Dao. It can strengthen the temporary Dao Comprehension Domain formed after the Virtual Goddess of Song's sermon, complementing it to enhance the duration and effect of the temporary Dao Comprehension Domain.

On the Mirror Dao, Lin Chen's comprehension progress had already reached 59%, the peak of a Mid-level God.

Therefore, even though it was Lin Chen's first sermon, he delivered it with ease, as if he was born to preach.

Preaching, in essence, is expressing an abstract Dao in layman's terms. The deeper one's mastery of the Dao, the better one can explain what the Dao is in simple language, allowing more people to understand what the Dao is and glimpse a corner of its truth.

Three days passed in a flash.

Lin Chen's sermon concluded.

For the Gods attending this God Conferring Banquet, it was time for the event to end.

At this moment, wisps of human luck spontaneously formed, evenly divided into twelve portions. Eleven of these fell upon the Gods who had preached, while the last portion shattered into starlight, evenly covering those who had listened to the sermon.

Gods preaching is a meritorious act for humanity, and human luck naturally does not stint on rewards; the favor of human luck is the greatest reward.

Human cultivators who listened to the sermon also received a temporary state of human luck's favor. For a period, their cultivation would proceed more smoothly, avoiding low-probability events like qi deviation.

The attending Gods naturally had a second half, engaging in bartering transactions, or forming small groups to discuss the Dao, or returning home to digest their insights from the sermon. All were permissible, entirely dependent on individual arrangements.

At this moment, Lin Chen was preoccupied with the issue of his soul, so he politely declined the Virtual Goddess of Song's invitation for a second-half Dao discussion, controlling the Lin Chen Dao Domain to return to Blue Star.

Without a definite opportunity, to solve the problem, he needed to visit the Human Race Treasury to see if there were any treasures that could resolve his issue.

He had the authority to select from the Human Race Treasury, and now was the time to use it.

The treasury established by the Human Race over countless years had accumulated too many precious items; there would certainly be treasures to solve Lin Chen's problem.

Perhaps Lin Chen's earlier wish was heard by the good luck attached to him; the Forty-first Generation Earth Element Clone, active outside, truly encountered an opportunity related to the soul.

The cost, however, was that the good luck state on Lin Chen, which had already been consumed by ninety percent, directly dissipated, replaced by a terrifying state of bad luck.

The bad luck state that appeared this time was so potent that even human luck had difficulty suppressing it.

This wave of bad luck was comparable to the good luck capable of attracting top-grade Foundation Level supreme treasures, so even Lin Chen's main body, located in the Federal Territory, was affected by the bad luck.

The Lin Chen Dao Domain was directly swept into a spatial turbulence, with countless violent spatial currents crashing against the Lin Chen Dao Domain's world barrier. Even Lin Chen, located inside the Lin Chen Dao Domain, could perceive the terrifying spatial power.

Fortunately, Lin Chen reacted quickly, forcibly rewriting causality with Causality Dao rules to avoid this terrifying spatial storm, returning to the Federal Territory and continuing towards Blue Star.

As for the other Five Elements Clones, besides the Earth Element Clone, they suffered no exceptions, becoming outlets for the bad luck and directly performing a live-action death scene.

The Forty-eighth Generation Fire Element Clone, while happily racing through space, was struck by a streak of starlight and died spectacularly, perishing from power unleashed during the cultivation of a certain non-super great clan's Foundation Level existence.

The Forty-fifth Generation Wood Element Clone, diligently mining, suddenly found the ore he was digging come alive and was spectacularly annihilated by pressure, dying to a Space Crystal Turtle that had just woken up and was in a bad mood.

The Forty-sixth Generation Metal Element Clone, traveling through a spatial passage, saw the passage crack open and fell into the center of a battlefield between two unfamiliar Gods, instantly vaporizing, dying very cleanly.

The Forty-second Generation Water Element Clone, strolling through a space city, looking for opportunities to exploit, encountered a siege by space pirates and died from an unknown AoE attack.

One can only say that this wave of bad luck came too fiercely.

One moment the Five Elements Clones were in a state of good luck, the next they were entangled by bad luck; even if they had just encountered something good, it would immediately reverse into something bad.

A typical example was the Forty-fifth Generation Wood Element Clone, where good fortune instantly turned into misfortune.

Space Crystal Turtles spend 99.999% of their lives in slumber. During their slumber, they continuously absorb cosmic matter, forming various precious ores.

Therefore, Space Crystal Turtles basically represent ownerless ore deposits, harmless natural resource points. But this Space Crystal Turtle just woke up and, incidentally, cleared away the Wood Element Clone mining on him.

This wave of bad luck also affected Mirror Lin Chen, located in the Gods Graveyard. Even while residing within the Fire Lord's portable world, he could not escape the bad luck's judgment.

It even triggered unlucky events with a broader scope of impact.

In the Gods Graveyard, the concentration of Godfall power rapidly increased. This was a premonition of crossing the turbulent period and entering the forbidden zone period.

At this rate, in just one month, the Gods Graveyard would enter the forbidden zone period. At that time, all the fallen Gods represented by the God inheritances within it would revive.

Not only that, but the Gods Graveyard's counter-measure ability against Foundation Level existences would also reach its maximum, even actively releasing curse marks to attach to all living beings within the Gods Graveyard, excluding even Foundation Level existences.

It can be said that this wave of Lin Chen's bad luck, with his various clones as focal points, triggered unlucky events that were very consistent with the clones' strengths.

Given Mirror Lin Chen's strength, it would be somewhat difficult for him to leave the Gods Graveyard from the area where the Time Main God's inheritance manifested within a month, so the curse mark would inevitably attach to him.

So this was an unlucky event caused by environmental evolution; who told him to be in it? Being afflicted by the curse mark was a matter of course.

Of course, bad luck clearly did not account for the Fire Lord and Other Shore Walker, two Foundation Level existences, so the unlucky events it triggered could not have too profound an impact on Mirror Lin Chen.

However, this unlucky event did affect September, who was undergoing the trial in the Clock Tower.

If September did not complete the trial within a month,

Then the Time Main God, represented by the Time Main God's inheritance, would revive. At that time, the Foundation Level existences present would inevitably have to intervene, forcibly rescuing their descendants to prevent them from becoming the vessel for an unknown Time Main God.

Mirror Lin Chen could only pray, praying that the one-tenth of his luck he had given would quickly take effect, helping September obtain the inheritance before the Gods Graveyard entered its forbidden zone period.
