Gu Zhen Ren
And i am over this book now. The amount of repeating filler has been getting to a point where whole chapters contain no new info or progression. And now luck is such a powerful thing that it ruins this whole notion of working hard, skemming, self sacrifice, actual sacrifice, etc. This MC and book has been one of my favorites, but these last two chapters have made me over it.
.." 'Why was it not me, I put in so much effort, paid such a huge price, why was it not me?' 'Why was it this mere mortal, a fool, a kid!' " I've.... always had this slight indignance, with pretty much every single popular cultivation book out there... The main characters are always either a genius, or gained a cheat due to pure luck. Meanwhile for people who purely work hard or had to resort to demonic methods to even catch up; even in books like ISSTH, the villain spent all this time, effort, only to have it stolen by dumb luck. Because the heavens didn't favour them? This feeling became apparent when I heard first gen Gu Yue's anger at the heavens... this book truly nailed this feeling down; just the absurdity and hypocrisy of all those 'mighty and overbearing' mc's out there.
Lmao.... all of these people complaining about this guy's luck are really immature. In this novel, luck can be manipulated just the same way everything else can; If MHY pulled a fixed immortal travel gu out of his ass the same way Fang Yuan did, would you be as triggered? No. But as soon as a more unique ability comes into play, everyone is getting pissed. This isn't plot armor- it's a specific ability unique to this novel that appears like bull**** but actually makes sense, the same way the Spring Autumn Cicada is a specific ability that seems like bull**** from other people's perspective (wtf FY pulled a Fixed Travel Gu out of nowhere) but makes sense from our perspective (was formerly a Gu Immortal, this is his second time using the 2nd Aperture gu, etc_
I think fang yuan will be able to kill ma hong yun and will be able to explain it that luck was consumable that everytime it helps you a part of it will be consumed. I mean just look at old man sheng's luck when he is trying to rise to be an immortal gu master and every save will take a portion of his luck. Thus since the heaven's fortune a one - time consumable then what it does was probably that it grant a person a huge amount of luck otherwise Giant sun will be a 13872--- rank gu master not 9.
