285: The plan for the allocation and utilization of places for enlightenment
"How did it go?"
Old Man Anpingshan looked at Lin Chen. Even though time had not passed for Lin Chen just now, he could clearly see the blank expression on Lin Chen's face.
"Let's go back and talk. All of you Seniors should come along. I've obtained some good things that I can't use myself, so I plan to bring them out for everyone to discuss how they should be distributed."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he was the first to return to the Ancestral Court Great World, entering the Human Race Origin Hall where the Foundation Level usually decided major matters.
Inside the Origin Hall, there were now fifty-four chairs.
Every chair represented a Foundation Level of the Human Race.
As the convener of the meeting, Lin Chen naturally sat in the main seat, taking charge of the subsequent proceedings.
The Human Race Foundation Levels from the observation site followed in Lin Chen's footsteps, entering the Human Race Origin Hall one after another. They sat in the chairs as they pleased, waiting for Lin Chen in the main seat to speak.
Of the remaining fifty-three chairs, there was only one empty seat.
That empty seat belonged to the Federation's founder, Qin Huang.
"Seniors, I conducted a trade with that entity and obtained thirteen Dao attainment quotas that bypass the trials. I have no use for them myself, and the people close to me won't need them in the short term."
"Therefore, I choose to hand them over to the race, leaving them to human luck for safekeeping and subsequent distribution."
"Does anyone have any good suggestions for allocation? After all, my growth period has been short, and I'm not clear on the specific circumstances of those Foundation Level seeds who are close to attaining the Dao. So, I'll need you Seniors to deliberate and see who is most suitable."
After Lin Chen finished, he summoned the thirteen Dao attainment credentials, letting them float before everyone.
Lin Chen truly had no use for these Dao attainment quotas right now.
His family members were currently still in the Ascension to God stage, lingering at the Lower God level. By the time he attained the Foundation Level, they might not even have grown enough to reach the point where they needed to attain the Dao.
Once he reached the Foundation Level, he would inevitably take a trip into the Void Realm to get some good things from outside to exchange with the great universe consciousness for Dao attainment quotas for his family. He didn't think it would be difficult for him to achieve that then.
As for friends, those who grew fast enough had only ever been Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve.
Both had their own paths to walk. If they needed Lin Chen's help in the future, Lin Chen would naturally step in.
So, giving the currently useless Dao attainment quotas to the Human Race instead would maximize the benefits.
Not only could it enhance the overall strength of the Human Race, but it could also forge deeper Karma of attaining the Dao, increasing his cultivation speed for the Karma Dao and shortening his growth time.
Thirteen—no, fourteen Foundation Levels attaining the Dao because of him; the resulting Karma feedback should be able to increase his current cultivation speed by about tenfold, making his comprehension of the Karma Dao rules much easier.
The Foundation Levels present looked at each other in shock.
This move by Lin Chen was a straight-up trump card.
Thirteen Dao attainment quotas meant thirteen Foundation Levels.
No matter how weak a Foundation Level was, they were still a Foundation Level.
Lin Chen was already not weak at the God Rank, but he was still no match for the Ice Master Ning Shuang who had just attained the Dao. If they fought, although Lin Chen wouldn't be instantly killed, he wouldn't last many moves.
Firstly, many of Lin Chen's methods were directly ineffective against a Foundation Level. Secondly, a Foundation Level's use of Dao Source Power to mobilize rules would cause a rule-based suppression against Lin Chen.
Finally, a Foundation Level was a lifeform of a different level; their physical body transformed into rules, and only equivalent rules could wear it away. It just so happened that these rules were not something Lin Chen could master yet.
Furthermore, wearing away the rule-based body couldn't kill a Foundation Level. One had to destroy the Soul integrated into the great universe consciousness and then follow the Soul's trajectory to destroy the True Spirit to completely kill a Foundation Level.
This was why Foundation Levels could be called 'Foundations'; they were very hard to kill by normal means, and returning from death was merely their simplest trick.
For a moment, the Human Race Foundation Levels didn't know how to allocate these Dao attainment quotas, nor did they know what they could give to repay Lin Chen's contribution.
They couldn't let Lin Chen get nothing while the Human Race received these thirteen Dao attainment quotas for free.
Even if Lin Chen handed over resources he couldn't use to the race and might not ask for anything, they couldn't fail to show any appreciation. Otherwise, it would undermine the Human Race's fair system.
At this time, Lin Chen was not paying attention to this. He urgently contacted Aura who was in the Void Realm.
Aura had been wandering the Void Realm for forty or fifty years and hadn't obtained any major Opportunities. He only had some minor gains, and the total amount of Dao Fall Power he mastered had only increased by about double, far from reaching the Middle God level.
Now that he had obtained resources regarding Dao Fall Power here, Aura still needed to digest and absorb them.
Once the two portions of Dao Fall Power from the great universe consciousness were absorbed, Lin Chen estimated that Aura would be able to raise his Realm to the Half-Step Foundation Level.
At that time, Aura could prepare to attain the Foundation Level, catching up with the cultivation progress of the Main Body and the various Clones.
After all, regarding Aura, due to the nature of Dao Fall Power, a tangible path to the Foundation Level had not yet been seen.
In the Void Realm, upon receiving the recall message from the Main Body, Aura did not hesitate and chose to return to the Main Body's side immediately.
He had lived a hard life these years.
Ever since entering the Void Realm, his personal Luck seemed to have malfunctioned. He could never find a major Opportunity and could only occasionally pick up scraps. The growth speed of Dao Fall Power was very slow, completely incomparable to the growth speed of the Dao Oblivion Seed when it was below the Void Realm.
He even had the thought of going to accompany God Lin Chen in his imprisonment below the Void Realm.
After all, although the "Tower of Nothingness" where God Lin Chen was located was a Void-oriented power, one could still extract Dao Fall Power from it. The growth speed there was much faster than what Aura was experiencing now.
"Finally, I've made it through. When it comes to Opportunities, you still have to follow the Main Body to live the good life."
Aura was quite far away in his wanderings through the Void Realm and was expected to take a year or two to return. Lin Chen's Main Body didn't pay much more attention to it.
Now he had obtained the resources to construct a Karma Divine Kingdom. He could construct the Divine Kingdom in advance and break through the barrier to the Upper God Realm. Once his own hardware was in place, he could break through smoothly.
As for the Void Abomination Core, Lin Chen would use the Karma channel opened by the heavenly calculation compass to send it to God Lin Chen, who was trapped below the Void Realm, to accelerate his growth.
The Secondary Source of Malice could only be put away for now, to be used after Essence Lin Chen returned.
Lin Chen didn't plan to use the Opportunity to roam the Rule Sea now. He would wait at least until he reached the Peak of the God Rank and could progress no further, using it when he was ready to break through to the Foundation Level to maximize the benefits, perhaps even breaking through in one go.
Given his relationship with the great universe consciousness, there naturally wouldn't be any trials when breaking through to the Foundation Level. Moreover, he wouldn't break through within the great Universe; the Five Regions Great World had always been his first choice for attaining the Dao.
Entrusting the Soul to the great universe consciousness versus merging the Soul with the Five Regions Great World—there was still a difference between the two.
The former would ultimately be somewhat subject to others.
In the case of the latter, Lin Chen would be a free agent, not coerced by the cosmic consciousness.
After sorting out his own situation, Lin Chen's attention returned, waiting for the Seniors and Fellow Daoists present to provide a reasonable allocation plan.
As for what reward he himself could get, he hadn't thought about it. After all, he always focused on his own cultivation, and the things he gave away were already in a state of Karma entanglement.
"The allocation isn't urgent; the juniors aren't in such a rush. But Lin Chen's contribution is indelible. The race definitely can't provide an equivalent reward. Do you have any ideas?"
Lin Chen's current situation had reached a point where he was beyond being rewarded.
In terms of status, he was already equivalent to a Foundation Level and couldn't go any further; he was already at the top of the Human Race.
In terms of resources, Lin Chen really didn't lack any. He could get resources himself, and his cultivation path was incredibly smooth.
In other aspects, Lin Chen didn't have much interest, being entirely focused on Cultivation.
"Everyone, there's no need to worry about me. You also know I practice the Karma Dao and only value Karma. Whoever gets the Dao attainment quota I handed over will owe me the Karma of attaining the Dao and become an aid to my cultivation. So, I've already gotten what I wanted."
Even though Lin Chen said this, the others couldn't truly think that way. It was just that they temporarily couldn't find a reward to give Lin Chen, not that they wouldn't reward him or would overlook the matter.
Finally, it was the Old Man who spoke.
"Regarding the enlightenment stele in Lin Chen's hands, we've collected many fragments, but there are still a large number of fragments scattered in the hands of other great races. Let's find a way to collect these fragments and help the enlightenment stele return to its complete state."
"What the Old Man said is right. This is indeed what little friend Lin Chen needs."
"Agreed" * n
Lin Chen was helpless, but his heart felt warm.
