Nems closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the changes within himself, and gradually deepening his understanding of fate.

Fate is destiny, and fortune is a part of fate. Strong fortune is used to save lives in emergencies, but if one can understand the content of fortune, then one may be able to accumulate good fortune in daily life.

“And now it seems that’s the case.” Nemus recalled the series of actions he had taken since entering Tailtail Town, and then he had some realizations.

"Yun" can refer to luck or management.

Fortune is dynamic and is connected to cause and effect.

The key lies in accumulation.

What is gathering around Nems's body now is luck.

Before this gathering, Nems already had the same luck around him.

"Since I became a Grand Knight, I have practiced benevolent governance, treated clergy well, communicated with them, solved their problems, provided them with welfare, treated the people kindly, and helped them solve some of their difficulties in life."

"These things are actually all part of the operation, starting from the identity, accumulating the existence of luck little by little."

"Then when needed, these factors can potentially push things in my favor."

"Of course, what comes together is not necessarily good luck; it could also be bad luck."

This kind of thing is actually not that complicated.

It's like three people, A, B, and C. A has an extra candy and wants to give it to someone else.

At this time, B greeted A every day, chatted with him when they met, and lent a helping hand when needed.

C, however, had no connection with A.

Then that candy might very well end up in B's hands.

But it's only a possibility.

If we consider more complex situations, such as A being an ungrateful person who feels ashamed to be helped by B, he might not want to associate with B.

Alternatively, C might have an apple, and A might want to eat the apple, so A gives C the candy in exchange for the apple; that's also a possibility.

More likely, by the time A had extra candy, many years had passed and B had lost contact with him, rendering the previously established friendship useless.

Therefore, luck is not absolute.

"Luck is just about accumulating 'relationships'. Sometimes enough relationships can lead to success, sometimes you need to have real strength, and sometimes even the strongest relationships are useless."

Having further understood the existence of luck, Nemus was not disappointed.

Because that's just how normal people build relationships.

For ordinary people to gain good fortune, they can only accumulate it through doing things one by one, or seek out low-probability events by trying their luck.

Even if you acquire good fortune, it will be lost if you can't maintain it, and you won't be able to accumulate it at all.

The special feature of the "strong luck" characteristic lies in these two points.

First, it can accumulate good fortune independently over a long period of time and unleash it at crucial moments, rarely losing it.

Secondly, it can make fortune more concrete, allowing Nemus, who already has an understanding of fate, to observe the existence of fortune more clearly.

At this moment, Nemus recalled his previous experiences of obtaining fairy power and observing history.

There is a very clear concept behind this: what cannot be observed is difficult to influence; what can be observed is easy to influence.

It is precisely by observing history that we can find the turning points of history, then gradually control the course of history, gain the impetus of history, and find ways to extract the key to history.

And the same applies to luck now.

"By observing and finding the flow of energy, we can discover more efficient ways to accumulate and control energy."

"It's possible to make myself lucky or bring misfortune to my enemies," Nemus thought.

Of course, compared to history, which has the book of time and the experience of predecessors, the study of fortune requires Nemes to start from scratch.

Nems wasn't in a hurry. He sat in the confinement room and carefully observed the changes in his own energy.

As observed, Nemus gradually began to enter a special breathing state, which was the breath of holy law.

After breathing for a while, Nems stopped again, waited a moment, and then started breathing again.

"As expected, the Breath of Holy Law has some problems; some of its special characteristics are too strong." Nemus had always known that the Breath of Holy Law, a breathing technique that allowed cultivators to directly ascend to the Iron Seed level without needing other resources, had issues.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized where the problem lay.

During its operation, it is as if it emits some kind of signal, which causes some special energy to converge and penetrate into the user's body, gradually forming a mark.

“I originally thought that since I possessed a portion of divinity, it wouldn’t be a big problem, but now it seems that the problem is still very big.” After observing for a while, Nemus stopped the breath of holy law.

Then the breathing rhythm changed, transforming into a very ordinary basic breathing method.

This breathing method involves nothing else but taking deep breaths of outside air into the lungs, and then stimulating the body little by little according to a specific rhythm to form a fixed stimulation frequency, allowing the body's life force to sense the existence of a switch.

With this breathing technique, an ordinary person without natural talent might only be able to develop three or four points of skill even after a lifetime of practice.

Even with talent, one might remain at a level of five or six points, finding it difficult to improve further.

In addition, another common breathing method is the incense burning breathing method.

By igniting special substances to produce smoke, which is then inhaled into the body, the body is stimulated, thus promoting changes in the life aura.

The most commonly used material is whale dung.

Nemus practiced the normal breathing method, then the rhythm began to change, and he started adding something to the breathing method.

"Breathing is the channel through which humans connect with the outside world."

"The essence of breathing techniques is that people use this channel of connection to develop their own bodies."

"According to the theory of alchemy, the lower is like the upper, and the upper is like the lower; this is a theory of the microcosm of the human body and the macrocosm of heaven and earth."

"Therefore, simply placing the human body below it will trigger the corresponding thing."

"If I can find the code to destiny, then perhaps I can achieve the breath of destiny."

Chapter 233 The Mobilization Force of Numbers

As his breathing gradually improved, Nemus suddenly began to feel the energy gathering around him, drawn by his own breath.

The essence of the Holy Law was gradually disassembled by Nemus and then incorporated into this nascent breathing technique.

Then, as Yun was inhaled, various images began to form in Nems' mind.

The first image shows the battle on the Golden Medicine side.

Poole was radiating a strong aura, and this aura was gradually converging on Nems.

“This means that Poole and I are closely connected and he is fully supporting me.” Nemus realized this, and then his senses transcended this scene and fell on the actual battle that was taking place.

Previously, Nems communicated over long distances using the Oath Rope, but now they can do so through the connection of fate.

"So, what should I do now?" Nemus's Breath of Fortune is still in its rudimentary stage, and he doesn't yet have a method to directly control the flow of energy.

However, the next moment, Nemus felt his divine essence begin to take effect in his true spirit.

Of the faith power collected previously, the portion belonging to Poole became the best medium. Then, the divine power that had been able to collect traits and condense characteristics was transmitted through the medium of faith.

Nemes tried to think of it, and a similar interference force emerged.

After a few tries, Nemus discovered that the power of faith was not consumed much; it was more of a medium and a catalyst.

That divine power is more like a higher level, capable of mobilizing any external force.

Just like the number of Nemus himself, and the numerical values ​​of his entire being.

Numbers have a moderating effect on numerical values.

"The number of divinity, like the number of history, does not possess external numerical energy."

"However, it is far superior to ordinary numbers, so as long as there is a medium, it can manipulate external values, or even other numbers themselves."

"From this perspective, ordinary numbers are actually the same."

"It's just a regular number, and the energy it can mobilize is limited, so it can generally only mobilize one type of power."

“The practice of breathing techniques does not develop the energy of numbers, but rather the ability of numbers to mobilize a certain kind of energy. This ability is what we call numerical value.”

Nemus gained a deeper understanding of the nature of power and also learned why some powerful, top-tier breathing techniques have very high requirements for practitioners.

I also understand why the numerical values ​​don't increase when cultivating both physical and magical abilities.

Because the ability to mobilize numbers is limited.

“The ability to mobilize divine power is different; it doesn’t require development, only a medium.”

"The power of faith is the medium of the individual; removing the imprint of the individual and purifying it into divine power is the medium of the group."

"Therefore, divine power is omnipotent!"

"Of course, this omnipotence is based on my own understanding of the relevant knowledge."

Theory is very important, and after understanding the theory, Nemes began to put it into practice.

The divine nature contained within the divine nature itself reveals that destiny and divinity are inextricably linked. Since Nemus desired to ascend to godhood, he was destined to study this aspect.

With the aid of divine power, Nemus began to subtly manipulate the flow of energy.

Datmenley, who was in the midst of battle, selected a target and launched an attack.

The unique properties of the Path of the Saints increased his speed, allowing him to close the distance instantly.

Then the blade slashed towards the white-tailed fox.

The white-tailed fox, hidden inside Cecilia's body, roughly manipulated the still undigested golden medicine components, drawing them towards a certain part of Cecilia's body.

So the already golden arm became even more golden, and began to clash head-on with Dartmenley.

At this moment, the white-tailed fox's power can be considered a one-time use.

Although Cecilia is only a low-quality gold medicine, it is still a product that combines countless resources.

It contains immense power.

The white-tailed fox used this opportunity to advance to the Steel type, rapidly increasing its stats. However, it couldn't absorb all of the stats, so it used them all for combat.

Using the Rebirth Technique to control the mother body, the White-tailed Fox discovered that the Golden Medicine possessed multiple properties.

Driven by mental power, the golden medicine will soften, thereby improving the body's flexibility.

By using breathing to mobilize the body's strength, the golden medicine will accumulate and then harden rapidly, making the body exceptionally strong.

Even Dartmenley found it difficult to handle.

At this moment, under the influence of the golden medicine, Cecilia's body became slippery and could wrap around him at any time.

In a short while, it was like a piece of steel that could not be cut or smashed, and there was no way to dig out the white-tailed fox hiding inside its body.

Datmenley took a deep breath, held his sword in one hand, and reached to his belt with the other, from which he took out several scrolls.

Most of these scrolls are about the size of a thumb and look similar to ornaments.

With a flick of his wrist, all the scrolls popped open, unleashing the spells contained within.

However, within one of the scrolls, a strange light shone forth.

The chaotic burst of multicolored energy then rapidly spread to the other, relatively stable spells on the surrounding scrolls.

Originally, the spell scrolls that could grant the user several forms of protection, strength, speed, and special status effects were disrupted due to the instability of one of them. This caused a chain reaction, resulting in most of the spells being interfered with at this time. Two of the spells disappeared, and the remaining two spells were greatly reduced in effectiveness.

"Is it the change in gravity that happened to interfere with the stability of the spell in the spell scroll?" Dartmenley frowned as he looked at Poole, who had disappeared once again.

He knew Poole was nearby, but because he was moving so fast, he was able to escape his observation range at top speed, making it extremely difficult for him to even catch a glimpse of anyone.

"What a coincidence!" Dartmenley's understanding of the bloodline curse deepened once again.

"Is it because of the drastic change in bloodline that the curse of misfortune has malfunctioned?"

Dartmanley was puzzled and could only focus his attention on the battle once again. However, due to this 'accident,' his battle was now at an even greater disadvantage.

However, in reality, Dartmenley's bloodline curse did not reach that level.

The bigger problem lies with Nems, who is watching this place from the shadows.

The powerful luck he mobilized, along with Poole's abilities, caused a change in gravity, precisely reaching that crucial point, thus causing Dartmenley's spell scroll to malfunction.

It can only be said that everything was a coincidence achieved through manipulation.

Nemus sensed the power of the energy slightly, then stopped breathing.
