Chapter 616 - 196: Cat-and-Mouse, I Grant You Victory
"In my eyes, a truly strong individual should not only possess extraordinary talent and diligence, but also have the ability to seize opportunities in the torrent of destiny. If one cannot achieve this, then the so-called ’potential’ is nothing but an unfulfilled illusion."
As he spoke these words, the Lord of Jile’s eyes shimmered with a purple haze, as if recalling those potential powers that fell prematurely. He continued:
"I cannot prove the existence of destiny by any means, but it only favors those who can both harness their strength and adapt to luck."
At this point, the Lord of Jile looked at the Evil Language with a smile:
"So, don’t complain about bad luck. On this brutal battlefield of the world, true warriors never rely on mere chances; or rather, they always manage to succeed against the odds."
"The forces that can become strong clans are destined to have avoided countless dangers of annihilation during their growth."
This scene reminded Qi Sheng of Luck and Grand Fortune, the two Life Souls in the Life Soul Library.
Just as the Lord of Jile speculated, luck indeed exists.
Therefore, in the eyes of Guidance, his way of selecting strong individuals is quite rational.
In the last part of the scene, the Lord of Jile narrated a small story.
When reviewing the history of his Hometown World, he saw a very familiar racial force.
This force was the descendants of the "Extreme Action Clan," which used to be a slave force of the Jile Clan and is now the main ethnic group in the Hometown World.
Back then, there was also a force that showed potential similar to that of the Extreme Action Clan under the rule of the Jile Clan, but was seen as a threat and was ultimately destroyed as a whole race.
The Extreme Action Clan and that race were very similar, yet the former has developed to the height of ruling the Hometown World today.
What was the essential difference between these two forces?
The fundamental difference is luck.
One rose during his development of the Jile World and was considered a threat.
The Extreme Action Clan rose after he chose to leave, and that timing was their ’fortune.’
The efforts and struggles of a tribe have completely different destinies in different eras.
Efforts are certainly important, but without the corresponding timing and ’fortune’ to support it, the potential displayed will only become the factor for the tribe’s destruction.
A thought of leaving the Jile World constituted the new fortune for the lower-level tribes.
When I went to the Monster World, I happened to encounter the Horror Black Tide and the Four Gods’ battle, which also constituted my fortune.
If I had descended to the Monster World still under the control of the Four Gods, we would have perished without a doubt, with no chance of establishing a foothold in the Monster World.
The peak battle of the Monster World opened up a new world pattern with Myriad Races standing side by side.
Seemingly elusive fortune is actually driven by events of higher dimensions.
No matter how much potential one has, without the blessing of fortune, achieving the peak is destined to be impossible.
So, when you mention those with potential who died in the Death Space, it proves they didn’t have enough ’potential’ to support reaching a higher position.
With this, the meeting concluded, and the image faded.
The structure of the Jile Player Corps was also further refined in this meeting.
All the shortcomings and problems were thoroughly resolved, turning towards an elite cultivation route.
Through the brutal Gu Poison Competition, warriors capable of standing alone were selected.
More importantly, warriors created through this cultivation model are all centered around team combat.
And they all build an iron-blooded camaraderie in life and death.
The team cooperation ability is far beyond what ordinary player squads can match.
Consider it as a departure from the ’endless’ trait, where the Lord of Jile forged a new corps system architecture.
In terms of resource consumption, the Death Trial is a scene woven by the Power of Extreme Joy, which can be decomposed and returned at any time.
Regarding ability adaptation, the Death Trial serves as a training ground for newcomers, where warriors can hone their minds and even willpower through brutal tasks.
Even if they bring resources into the Monster World, the fighting power is suitable for the resources the Lord of Jile invested.
In terms of quantity, though it leans towards elite cultivation, with a massive reserve of living beings in the Jile World as selection targets, a large number of elite warriors can be created in batches.
There are many other optimizations.
This time, the Player Corps framework, the Lord of Jile combined his best illusion weaving ability.
In Qi Sheng’s eyes, the concept of Death Space is truly ingenious.
Yet he still feels there are some risks in this series of structures.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Guiding Water Ball suspended beside him:
"Guidance, what do you think of this corps structure?"
[Very good, but there are also uncontrollable risk issues. The Lord of Jile’s control over Bliss Players is through imprinting Spiritual Imprints, which can decide the life and death of Bliss Players at any time, but this is only limited to the Death Space. Countless ways can break the Spiritual Imprints once Bliss Players are deployed to the Monster World.]
[Suppose there’s a Bliss Player who breaks the spiritual shackles through a way similar to the Purification Rules, then he will be completely free.]
[There’s even a small probability of possibility that this Bliss Player accidentally gains a law in the Monster World, acquiring the growth potential to rival the Lord of Jile, much like a novel’s protagonist turning the tables against the mastermind controlling them, achieving a reversal against heaven.]
[Of course, what I propose are all possibilities; the specific situation depends on how the Lord of Jile continues to perfect the Player Corps, perhaps he might find a way to completely solve the hidden danger problem.]
Qi Sheng couldn’t help but nod upon hearing this.
Guidance’s thoughts were similar to his own.
