Chapter 562: An Extremely Crazy Idea

“System, what do you think of this Academy? There should be quite a few Chosen here, right?”

He asked in his mind.

What he was thinking about now was no longer just how to deal with Ye Mu, but rather this so-called Academy, which was clearly a gathering place for countless young powerhouses.

There should be many Chosen among them.

Was this the kind of place he should go to now?

If he were invisibly surrounded by countless Chosen, his two fists would be no match for four hands.

Moreover, luck was not on his side.

“Hmph, what kind of Academy is this? It’s just another Gu Breeding Ground, just in a different form!”

The System snorted coldly, its words full of disdain and mockery.

“Oh? How so?”

Lin Yu’s eyes widened. The System seemed to know something others didn’t.

“Little Lin, your guess is indeed correct. There are definitely many Chosen, but the Star Dao Academy that evolved from the Dao Seed Star Region is actually a tool to isolate all influence from the Heavenly Dao’s luck.”

“They are throwing countless Chosen into this tool, using the reason that only one person can gain the Star Region’s recognition, to make these people fight each other, and finally cultivate a Gu King, which you can also call a King of Luck!”

“By then, once this Gu King emerges from that Dao Seed Star Region, all the luck will return, and the luck level and value will increase to a jaw-dropping degree!”

This… could it be played this way?

Upon hearing the System’s words, he instantly felt his hair stand on end.

He even broke out in a cold sweat.

This was truly raising Gu, and what they were raising was a King of Luck.

“System, this… aren’t they afraid of losing control? If this King of Luck eventually learns about these things, once he achieves something, wouldn’t he directly overturn their Dao tradition?”

Amidst his shock, Lin Yu was still somewhat incredulous.

Chosen were already difficult to control; raising a King of Luck, were they really not afraid of a mishap?

“Hehe, Little Lin, you really haven’t seen much of the world. Just tell me, is there a possibility that this is exactly what the Academy wants to see? If this Gu King is capable, then he will directly become the controller of the Academy!”

“Also, is it possible that the controllers behind this Academy are previous Gu Kings?”

“Uh… this… this…”

Lin Yu no longer knew what to say.

The System’s remarks were already beyond his comprehension.

If this were the case, then the terror of these few Academies would rise yet another level.

This kind of Gu breeding method, unafraid of backlash, was definitely the most terrifying.

“Little Lin, actually, there’s no need to be too alarmed. As long as it’s Gu breeding, it means that Immortality is still a hurdle. Just like the Sea of Dao Validation before, no one can cross that step, so they need to think of various methods.”

As if sensing Lin Yu’s psychological fluctuations, the System spoke again to remind him.

Sea of Dao Validation?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu thought of the Lin family patriarch who was still trapped in the Sea of Dao Validation.

That was also a Gu Breeding Ground. The System had said before that a mighty being was using this method to achieve Immortality.

Now it seemed that while both were Gu breeding and both aimed for Immortality, the methods of Gu breeding were different.

One was free-range, relying on quantity to win, believing that everyone had their own views on the Dao, and wanting to gather the strengths of many to achieve Immortality.

The other was focused cultivation, raising a Gu King, believing that if a person’s luck and talent reached their limit, they could achieve Immortality.

But, was Immortality really that difficult to achieve?

Lin Yu was actually a bit confused.

Because he had been in contact with Immortality since the Golden Core stage.

Even the Immortal Path he was cultivating now was the Immortal Path.

The vast starry sky within his inner world was not only permeated with Immortal Path Power, but half of it was Immortal Power.

Were these things the same as what was referred to as achieving Immortality?

If so, why was it so difficult?

If not, his Immortal Power was indeed very strong, and it could play a very important role at certain times.

Just like when he accidentally entered the Gu Breeding Ground before, his Immortal Power played a huge role in his escape.

“Hey, Lin Yu, don’t get stuck in a rut. Achieving Immortality is a realm, and Immortal Power is a power gained after achieving Immortality. The two cannot be confused.”

“Your Immortal Path just means your starting point is higher than countless others, you knew this before, but to reach the Immortal Realm, you still need to achieve Immortality; it’s not a direct train ticket, understand?”

The System was a little anxious.

She even felt that she had explained too much, too profound, and had led Lin Yu astray.

Therefore, these two sentences were exceptionally loud and serious, directly striking the depths of Lin Yu’s divine soul.

“Buzz—!”

In Lin Yu’s mind, the System’s voice, like a great bell, exploded with unparalleled penetrating power.

It fiercely awakened his divine soul, which was almost falling into a whirlpool of confusion!

Lin Yu jolted suddenly, a fine layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back, and his eyes instantly regained clarity.

“Whoosh…”

He let out a long breath of stale air, and at the same time, a strong sense of self-mockery surged in his heart.

“I’ve really gone mad! The Immortal Realm? What level of legend is that? I haven’t even touched the threshold of a Immortal King yet, and the Immortal Emperor Realm is even more distant. How could I be worrying about the difficulty of achieving Immortality here? It’s simply wishful thinking.”

The System’s reprimand was like a basin of ice water, extinguishing the restlessness and delusion that had arisen in him due to the Academy’s secrets.

He still needed to focus on the present!

No matter how difficult or profound the road ahead was, that was for the future.

What was most important to him now was to resolve the current matters.

With his thoughts clear, his mind became unprecedentedly clear and active, as if the shock and self-reflection just now had opened up a crucial point.

Star Dao Academy… Gu breeding… King of Luck… Dao Seed Star Region…

The System’s words linked and collided in his mind like lightning!

“Wait!”

Lin Yu’s eyes burst forth with brilliant light, and an extremely crazy idea instantly spread like a wildfire!

“System! You said that the Star Dao Academy relies on that Dao Seed Star Region to select and catalyze the final King of Luck, right? They themselves don’t have the ability to directly detect luck values like you do, right?”

“That’s natural, only this System has such an ability. No, you, this guy, wouldn’t be…”

The System seemed to sense that his thoughts were amiss, its tone carrying a hint of shock.

“Hehehe, System, you really understand me!”

Lin Yu’s lips curved upwards uncontrollably, forming an extremely dangerous yet ambitious arc, his eyes astonishingly bright.

Since the Star Dao Academy could only judge who the Gu King was through the Star Region’s performance and results…

Then wouldn’t he, this ‘super villain’ holding a luck detection artifact, possess the greatest information asymmetry and operational space?
