"Cast a wide net with shallow relationships, and use deep relationships at critical moments. I have to be careful with how I use this token."
Lu Chen put away the token, his eyes turning sharp and solemn once more.
"Relationships are only auxiliary. My own strength is the foundation!"
He was now at the Chaos Saint Peak, seemingly just one step away from the Primordial Realm.
But that one step was a natural moat!
On the All Heavens Battlefield, Chaos Realm experts could be considered powerful figures in their own right, but they were not particularly rare.

"With conventional cultivation, even with my aptitude and resources, breaking through to the Primordial Realm would probably require a long accumulation of time, or some heaven-shaking opportunity..."

Since it could "establish" interpersonal relationships, could it also "establish" a relationship with a "legacy" or an "opportunity"?
For example, could he directly set himself as the "successor several generations removed" of some fallen Primordial expert?
Lu Chen's heartbeat quickened slightly.
He communicated with the All Heavens Relationship Token again, casting his Divine Sense into that enormous web of relationships.

[Status]: A 'legacy/opportunity' type of relationship can be established
