Chapter 558: The Essence of the Trading Temple; The Foolish Death of the Mind Flayers

Zhang Zhi was stunned for a moment after hearing Professor Kongzi's words:
What? Trading with other races actually increases luck?
Was my previous guess actually wrong?
Only then did he realize that the reason why so many main gods, half-step main gods, and powerful beings were busy in the trading temple was not because there were all kinds of rare treasures here, but because they wanted to find out why trading could increase luck.

Professor Kongzi looked at Zhang Zhi and turned to look at the people present. He chuckled and said, "Yes, that's right. At the beginning, this trading temple naturally didn't have so many high-level monks."

"But when we discovered that we could gain luck through trading, we naturally called in all the high-ranking monks we could to see if we could find the reason."
Zhang Zhi couldn't help but say, "Teacher, have you found the reason why it can increase your luck?"

Professor Kongzi nodded slightly and said, "I have roughly figured out a little bit."

"After these days of exploration, we discovered that this trading temple, while openly trading various substances, secretly regulates the fortunes of various races, and also has the function of something we are not yet sure of."

"The first thing we discovered is that if the materials we trade are more beneficial to our race than the materials that were traded away, then generally speaking, our race's luck will increase. Conversely, our race's luck will decrease."

"Of course, this is not always the case in actual transactions."

"Many times we thought this thing would be of great use to our tribe, but after we traded it, we discovered that we actually lost some of our luck."

"Later we speculated that the items we traded with were extremely valuable to the alien race. So even though the materials we exchanged were actually very useful to us, our luck eventually faded."

"Also, if we exchange high-level supplies for low-level supplies, even if those supplies are very useful to us, and the high-level supplies are merely spoils of war from the alien races we dealt with and are of no use to us, our luck will still disappear."

"So, at present, we can confirm three trading principles. One is that when exchanging materials, the materials we exchange must be less useful to us than what we receive in return."
"The second is that we cannot exchange certain supplies that the other race urgently needs."

"Third, the trading market sometimes determines the value of materials based on his appraisal results."

"Also, only when trading certain extremely mysterious or high-level items, such as the remains of beings that have broken through the barriers of the main god realm, or materials that can allow powerful gods to ascend to the main god realm, and these kinds of materials that can affect the foundation of a race, will those more special and mysterious things flow."

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi finally understood the general rules of the disappearance and acquisition of luck in the Trading Temple.

At this time, Professor Confucius continued, "Fortunately, God blesses our human race. Because our human race has Professor Zhuangzi, who has achieved sainthood through merit, we discovered the hidden purpose of this Trade Temple when we first acquired it."

"Only in this way can we avoid losing too much luck."

"If it were the weaker races, they wouldn't even know why their luck was getting worse and worse in such a short period of time."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi nodded silently and said, "Teacher, the Mind Flayers were easily exterminated. Is it possible that this was also due to the Trade Temple?"

"After all, they must have traded away quite a few remains of beings that had broken through to the Lord God Realm."

"This kind of information is extremely important to every race in the multiverse. How could they not lose a lot of luck if they traded it to others?"

"Also, Teacher, do you think that the fact that such a powerful race as the Mind Flayers didn't even have a single cultivator powerful enough to refine weapons later on is also related to this Trade Temple?"

"Is it possible that the miraculous thing you're talking about is the future of their race? Or is it something so profound that it lies within the cultivation aptitude of their descendants?"

Professor Kongzi nodded in agreement after hearing Zhang Zhi's speculation: "We have also discussed this issue and feel that this possibility is very high."

"We still haven't figured out what that mysterious thing is, but judging by the situation with the Mind Flayer, it's very likely related to the potential for the future development of the entire race."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi glanced at the light screen beside Professor Kongzi, which was used to submit trade items and trade with other races, and then asked, "Teacher, what do you think the real purpose of this Trade Temple is?"

"Is this thing, like the Trial Tower, born from the multiverse itself, or was it forged by a powerful race to gather luck?"

Professor Kongzi also glanced at the light screen next to him and replied, "After discussing the origins of this Trade Temple, we are more inclined to believe that it was born from the multiverse itself."

"If it was created by a certain race, apart from anything else, if that race truly possessed the ability to quietly steal the luck of other races, would they even need to establish such a trading system?" "Couldn't they just directly plunder the luck of other races?"

"Building such a trading temple is completely unnecessary."

"After discussing these days, we have come up with a hypothesis about the nature of this Trade Temple. We believe it is used by the multiverse to regulate the flow of luck within it."

"Take the three trading principles I just mentioned. Ultimately, it's all about luck."

"When two races trade, if one race's luck increases more than the other after obtaining the traded item, then the race with the greater increase will gain the luck."

"We even suspect that the extra or lost amount of luck is the difference in luck between the two races after the transaction."

"There are countless races in the universe, and countless materials with magical effects. You have no idea how much luck the materials you trade can bring to the other race. In this way, no one can control whether you will make a profit or a loss through trading in the market!"

"Unless it's an item that's been traded multiple times, no one knows whether this transaction will result in the loss of one's own race's luck. It's precisely this uncertainty about the flow of luck that leads us to believe it's a tool used by the multiverse to regulate luck."

After listening to Professor Kongzi's explanation, Zhang Zhi still had a lot of questions in his mind. He said, "Teacher, if that's the case, how do we explain the Mind Flayers? They seem to have lost a lot of luck due to this Trade Temple."

Professor Confucius chuckled after hearing this question: "The reason is very simple. The Mind Flayers are a race of complete idiots, that's all."

"According to our understanding, this mind flayer has conducted at least ten transactions with other races involving debris that has broken through the barrier of the main divine realm."

"This kind of transaction might only take one time, and it would be enough to cause serious damage to the average race."

"This mind-stealing demon has actually done this more than ten times, and they haven't even realized why they've lost their luck."

"Of course, it's also possible that they had already discovered the reason for the inexplicable loss of their race's luck. However, because they knew that their own cultivation path was too detrimental to their virtue, they thought that the loss of luck was due to their cultivation path and didn't think about the Trade Temple at all."

"This has led to their extremely bad luck, and the potential of their race is declining with each generation. However, they simply haven't realized that the culprit for all this is the Trade Temple."

"This is also why we believe that this Trade Temple is a tool used by the multiverse to adjust its luck. Because some races are too foolish to deserve the multiverse's luck, the Trade Temple can transfer this luck to other races."

"Of course, this may also be due to the fact that the cultivation methods within the Heart Flayer Demon Clan are too simple, and they have little understanding of the laws of fate and destiny, which is why this situation occurs."

"In fact, there are races in the multiverse that are similar to the Mind Flayers and have little knowledge of laws like fate and destiny."

"It's just that most races, after conducting a few transactions and discovering that their own luck has decreased, can basically find the culprit."

"Like the Mind Flayers, even after their main world was destroyed, they still didn't know the reason for the loss of their luck. They even thought of using the remains of those who broke through the main god realm barrier as rewards to recruit guards for their own main world. This behavior will greatly reduce their already limited luck."

"To say they are stupid and genocidal is not an exaggeration at all!"

"With the Mind Flayer's luck, we are now thinking that it is very likely that the Mind Flayer's plan to enslave those main gods will fail."

"As for why they failed? It's probably because the method used by the Three-Eyed Clan to refine the Super Artifact was flawed, or perhaps the Mind Flayers who refined it were inexperienced, leading to hidden dangers in the artifact."

"There's even a very high possibility that they won't be able to control the Super Lord Divine Artifact at all, and might even be directly attacked by it."

After hearing what Professor Kongzi said, Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment and realized that this was indeed possible.

The main world was destroyed, and the Mind Flayer, whose luck was almost gone, had offended the human race. It could be said that his fate had already been predetermined.
