The Closed Loop of Talents

"Now that we've met, I'll go rest and prepare myself."

Lu Changzhi looked at Liu Duanyuan.

Liu Duanyuan nodded and didn't ask anything more.

Not long after, Lu Changzhi arrived at the courtyard prepared by the Liu Clan.

I sat down and waited for a moment.

I opened the system and took a look.

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

"Have they already distrusted me this much?"

Liu Duanyuan said he was leaving, but he did not actually leave.

By using the system to mark its location, we can confirm that the other party has been staying there since we returned.

"You want to know what I really think?"

Lu Changzhi felt somewhat helpless.

Once doubt takes hold, everything changes.

His previous remarks were absolutely genuine.

In his view, the information about Liu Tianming was quite accurate.

[Name]: Liu Tianming

[Realm]: Saint King Realm Seventh Layer

[Qualification]: Middle-Grade Heavenly Dao-Rank

[Constitution]: Innate Five Elements Sacred Physique

[Bloodline]: Void-Controlling Bloodline

[Talent]: Dazzling at Birth, Rapid Ascent, Dominate a Region a region, Break Tribulations and Reverse Calamities, Danger Arises in a Crowd.

[Dazzling at Birth]: Those with this talent are born with extraordinary phenomena that attract the world's attention. Using this talent to encourage themselves can stimulate their powerful growth. However, too much attention can also have negative effects. If this can be overcome and properly adjusted, the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks.

[Rapid Ascent]: Before reaching a certain stage that suits one's own situation, all advancements will almost never face any difficulties or obstacles. Problems will always be solved naturally, and skill improvement will always be a natural outcome.

[Dominate a Region]: Those who possess this talent have the potential to Dominate a Region. After a certain period of time, they will grow into a powerful overlord who reigns supreme over a region. However, talent does not guarantee reality; they still need to focus on reality, survival, and growth.

[Break Tribulations and Reverse Calamities]: With this talent, one is not afraid of calamities and disasters. Calamities can be broken and misfortunes can be reversed. One can turn adversity into advantage and transform harm into benefit. One can turn the fear and avoidance of others into one's own opportunity. However, if one avoids calamities and misfortunes for a long time, it will harm oneself.

[Danger Arises in a Crowd]: Those with this talent should try their best to avoid too much contact with others. The more independent they are, the safer they are. The more they live in groups, the more dangerous it is. The people around them are the source of danger, whether overt or covert, endangering themselves.

For Lu Changzhi, among Liu Tianming's talents, there was one that was familiar, like [Rapid Ascent], which he had seen before.

But most of it was unfamiliar and novel.

Just like the talent [Danger Arises in a Crowd], it was the first time he had seen it in someone else.

"According to the description of this talent, those around you will become a source of danger. In that case, it's..."

For some reason, Lu Changzhi suddenly thought of Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen brings misfortune to those around him.

Liu Tianming believes that those around him pose a danger to him.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi could only think of one word:

A match made in heaven!

However, Luo Zhen ultimately did not come to the Liu Clan.

Lu Changzhi shook his head and smiled, then couldn't help but feel a little sentimental:

"But this seems to prove the talent of Break Tribulations and Reverse Calamities?"

Although Luo Zhen didn't come, I acted as the intermediary.

"Judging from the description of this talent, Liu Tianming is actually the kind of person who should proactively face calamities."

"But the things the Liu Clan has done over the years, including asking me to be their substitute, seem to have been motivated by a desire to protect Liu Tianming. This..."

After a slight stroke, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"It's a closed loop!"

Liu Tianming needs tribulations to help him grow, otherwise he will be harmed. The Liu Clan tries every means to protect Liu Tianming and shield him from the wind and rain, but their good intentions have backfired. Isn't this Danger Arises in a Crowd?

As for this danger, he himself, and the blessing he transmitted to Luo Zhen, were definitely part of it.

If it were someone else, this would basically be a truly bad thing.

But unfortunately, Liu Tianming is destined to face calamities.

The more bad things happen, the more good things happen; in other words, the fewer bad things there are, the more good things there are.

The Break Tribulations and Reverse Calamities have also come together.

"From this perspective, if Luo Zhen really has a chance to join the Liu Clan, the final outcome might be quite different from those of the past."

Lu Changzhi made an estimate.

He didn't know if the other members of the Liu Clan could withstand it, but judging from the current situation, Liu Tianming, with his two talents, would probably enjoy it quite a bit.

He had only glanced at it briefly before, and noticed Liu Duanyuan's attention, which was why he was so moved.

Now that he's come back and thought about it, he does indeed have a heartfelt feeling that he truly deserves the Aptitude of a Great Emperor.

Being alone makes use of oneself, while living in a group is still beneficial in another way; in short, it doesn't matter where you are.

"Judging from this, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this imperial tomb raiding is most likely a good thing for him."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi suddenly thought of something:

"That's not right either."

"Break Tribulations and Reverse Calamities, this imperial tomb seems like a good thing from this perspective. But if we look at it this way, there should be a calamity in the middle."

Upon realizing this, Lu Changzhi shook his head, amused:

"Looks like I really did come here to save someone from disaster."

Going there carries the risk of becoming a scapegoat, and one doesn't know what kind of ordeal they will face.

I'm not going, then...

That definitely won't work.

Putting aside the fact that the disciple has to complete the mission, even just considering himself, he has been here for so long, yet he has never seen what the Emperor's Tomb looks like.

I should at least go and broaden my horizons.

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi didn't continue thinking about it.

I definitely want to go.

As for the mysterious and elusive concept of blocking calamity...

If possible, he could turn a blind eye and let things slide.

When soldiers come, generals will give way; when water comes, earth will build ditches.

On the other side.

Liu Tianming approached Liu Xun.

"Father, there's no need to let him go."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xun looked over and smiled:

"It seems you've already met him."

Liu Tianming nodded.

"Those who can't recognize their place are not worthy of impersonating me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xun's smile widened even more.

"You and I truly are father and son. I've always felt this way, but our ancestor has been insisting."

As she spoke, Liu Xun shook her head:

"Otherwise, those artifacts from the Emperor Dao wouldn't have fallen into his hands so easily."

Liu Tianming then said:

"The father didn't seem to have answered the key question."

Liu Xun looked somewhat helpless:

"The patriarch's insistence must have its reasons."

Calamities are unpredictable; we must be wary.

Liu Tianming looked at Liu Xun and said:

"If this is my tribulation, I will face it head-on. Running away won't solve anything. Don't our ancestors understand this principle?"

"It's not that I don't understand, it's just that I have no choice."

Liu Xun sighed softly, looking at Liu Tianming:

"Your potential is evident to all. The legendary Emperor Road may very well appear in your generation. The Emperor Road is related to the Emperor Realm. Even if it is only a possibility, we must go all out and treat it with caution."

"Calamities are unavoidable, but if one can discern their strength and choose to confront the weaker ones, it is a way to protect oneself. You should understand this."

Liu Tianming nodded.

Liu Xun continued:

"Whether it's an individual or a force, survival and existence are the foundation of everything."

"I don't like that kid's attitude either, but if he can ward off disaster, then he's useful."
