Favor of Fate

Lu PingAn's "Life Illustrated Handbook" had been a gift bestowed upon him after that fateful ordeal that had nearly killed him.

In every respect, it had made up for the shortcomings in Lu PingAn's life system design at the "animal" level. In Big Cat's words, this was Lu PingAn's "God Ascension Foundation."

Afterward, because it was overwhelmingly powerful, Lu PingAn had even become somewhat lax about his proper duties as a Gardener, which required time and resources to accumulate.
