Devil's Bible

Chapter 232 Luck is Human Kindness
The moment the properties coalesced, Nemus sensed something converging towards him.

Of course, this convergence is not the main point.

The impact of such strong luck can only be mitigated at crucial moments.

However, there is a prerequisite: only by making the right choice can one obtain a response from fate.

And there is a vague sense that if a wrong choice is made, fate will not only not respond, but will also have some kind of backlash.

Therefore, while this characteristic itself may be very useful, it is best not to use it.

Its true value lies in the change in destiny that this ability brings.

Nems closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the changes within himself, and gradually deepening his understanding of fate.

Fate is destiny, and fortune is a part of fate. Strong fortune is used to save lives in emergencies, but if one can understand the content of fortune, then one may be able to accumulate good fortune in daily life.

“And now it seems that’s the case.” Nemus recalled the series of actions he had taken since entering Tailtail Town, and then he had some realizations.

"Yun" can refer to luck or management.

Fortune is dynamic and is connected to cause and effect.

The key lies in accumulation.

What is gathering around Nems's body now is luck.

Before this gathering, Nems already had the same luck around him.

"Since I became a Grand Knight, I have practiced benevolent governance, treated clergy well, communicated with them, solved their problems, provided them with welfare, treated the people kindly, and helped them solve some of their difficulties in life."

"These things are actually all part of the operation, starting from the identity, accumulating the existence of luck little by little."

"Then when needed, these factors can potentially push things in my favor."

"Of course, what comes together is not necessarily good luck; it could also be bad luck."

This kind of thing is actually not that complicated.

It's like three people, A, B, and C. A has an extra candy and wants to give it to someone else.

At this time, B greeted A every day, chatted with him when they met, and lent a helping hand when needed.

C, however, had no connection with A.

Then that candy might very well end up in B's hands.

But it's only a possibility.

If we consider more complex situations, such as A being an ungrateful person who feels ashamed to be helped by B, he might not want to associate with B.

Alternatively, C might have an apple, and A might want to eat the apple, so A gives C the candy in exchange for the apple; that's also a possibility.

More likely, by the time A had extra candy, many years had passed and B had lost contact with him, rendering the previously established friendship useless.

Therefore, luck is not absolute.

"Luck is just about accumulating 'relationships'. Sometimes enough relationships can lead to success, sometimes you need to have real strength, and sometimes even the strongest relationships are useless."

Having further understood the existence of luck, Nemus was not disappointed.

Because that's just how normal people build relationships.

For ordinary people to gain good fortune, they can only accumulate it through doing things one by one, or seek out low-probability events by trying their luck.

Even if you gain good fortune, it will dissipate if you can't maintain it; it simply cannot be accumulated. The special feature of strong luck lies in these two points.

First, it can accumulate good fortune independently over a long period of time and unleash it at crucial moments, rarely losing it.

Secondly, it can make fortune more concrete, allowing Nemus, who already has an understanding of fate, to observe the existence of fortune more clearly.

At this moment, Nemus recalled his previous experiences of obtaining fairy power and observing history.

There is a very clear concept behind this: what cannot be observed is difficult to influence; what can be observed is easy to influence.

It is precisely by observing history that we can find the turning points of history, then gradually control the course of history, gain the impetus of history, and find ways to extract the key to history.

And the same applies to luck now.

"By observing and finding the flow of energy, we can discover more efficient ways to accumulate and control energy."

"It's possible to make myself lucky or bring misfortune to my enemies," Nemus thought.

Of course, compared to history, which has the book of time and the experience of predecessors, the study of fortune requires Nemes to start from scratch.

Nems wasn't in a hurry. He sat in the confinement room and carefully observed the changes in his own energy.

As observed, Nemus gradually began to enter a special breathing state, which was the breath of holy law.

After breathing for a while, Nems stopped again, waited a moment, and then started breathing again.

"As expected, the Breath of Holy Law has some problems; some of its special characteristics are too strong." Nemus had always known that the Breath of Holy Law, a breathing technique that allowed cultivators to directly ascend to the Iron Seed level without needing other resources, had issues.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized where the problem lay.

During its operation, it is as if it emits some kind of signal, which causes some special energy to converge and penetrate into the user's body, gradually forming a mark.

“I originally thought that since I possessed a portion of divinity, it wouldn’t be a big problem, but now it seems that the problem is still very big.” After observing for a while, Nemus stopped the breath of holy law.

Then the breathing rhythm changed, transforming into a very ordinary basic breathing method.

This breathing method involves nothing else but taking deep breaths of outside air into the lungs, and then stimulating the body little by little according to a specific rhythm to form a fixed stimulation frequency, allowing the body's life force to sense the existence of a switch.

With this breathing technique, an ordinary person without natural talent might only be able to develop three or four points of skill even after a lifetime of practice.

Even with talent, one might remain at a level of five or six points, finding it difficult to improve further.

In addition, another common breathing method is the incense burning breathing method.

By igniting special substances to produce smoke, which is then inhaled into the body, the body is stimulated, thus promoting changes in the life aura.

The most commonly used material is whale dung.

Nemus practiced the normal breathing method, then the rhythm began to change, and he started adding something to the breathing method.

"Breathing is the channel through which humans connect with the outside world."

"The essence of breathing techniques is that people use this channel of connection to develop their own bodies."

"According to the theory of alchemy, the lower is like the upper, and the upper is like the lower; this is a theory of the microcosm of the human body and the macrocosm of heaven and earth."

"Therefore, simply placing the human body below it will trigger the corresponding thing."

"If I can find the code to destiny, then perhaps I can achieve the breath of destiny."
