Adventures Of Lord Genesis - Chapter 32
The great elders stopped thinking about the hidden dimensions as it was a matter of future. Their current priority is the Awakening Ceremony. They have to know how much ‘potential’ Zhen Han has.
No matter whether it is the imperial family, great clans, religious sects or any other form of faction; their very existence depends on two things: their ‘current strength’ and their ‘future potential’.
The ‘current strength’ is the number of strong experts an organization has. The strong experts of today can make sure the organization exists for the time being but what about the future?
Even the strongest expert would die someday. There are no immortals in the world. Eternal life is nothing but a hollow dream. Not even Dao Ancestors can live forever.
Who can protect the organization when its founding pillars die or become weak due to old age? That’s when the ‘future potential’ comes in picture. Future potential is referring to the younger generation.
Why do the powerful clans invest resources on young geniuses if not for their future potential? The very reason the clans invest so much on young talents is for the future possibility that they would become someone who can return the investment multiple times.
Of course, most talents fail to live up to their potential. They would either die or suffer mental scars which would make them useless. Sometimes the talented geniuses lose themselves in the carnal and other pleasures. All of these scenarios would make the investment of clans turn into losses.
What happens to such talented people if they are not corrupted by the pleasures of life? Most times they are killed by a rival organization. Very few talents can achieve results fitting their potential.
The great clans know of the possible losses but yet they invest so much for a single hope. It was similar to how a mortal spends money to buy thousands of lottery tickets in hope of getting a ticket which would be the key to the jackpot. If he gets the jackpot then the initial investment was more than worth it. Sometimes it’s possible that all thousand lottery tickets are blank and in that case, one can only blame oneself for poor luck.
The concept of investment in the young geniuses by great clans is of similar nature. Everything is for the eventual possibility. Of course, there are times when people of low talent have achieved greater things. The probability is far too low for such a case to occur so the clans don’t spend much on such people.
Ever since the heavenly phenomenon occurred, the number of geniuses have increased. The violet radiance has increased the latent potential of most youngsters. It was truly a blessing for people pursuing the martial path.
The only disadvantage was that resources were limited. The resources are there for the most talented geniuses. If you have talent then you can have everything otherwise nothing.
The great elders want to see the potential Zhen Han has to offer. If he can form the spiritual veins within 6-7 hours then they would consider Zhen Han as someone with good potential. The lesser time he takes the more talented he is.
Of course, if he takes a lot longer than they would think him nothing but a waste.
As for the establishment of lower dantian, that would need years even for top geniuses.
Awakening Pagoda was a five-storied building with a giant spirit screen projection outside. One could see the happenings of inside through the screen.
“You will go to the first floor of Awakening Pagoda where you will form your spirit veins,” A great elder responsible for managing the pagoda said.
“After you form the veins, you can go to the other floors for auxiliary stuff such as the attribute, vein capacity, mental bearings and comprehension skills. Don’t worry about those things now. We will provide instructions to you through mental communication after you form your spiritual veins,” the elder concluded.
Zhen Han nodded his head. He started moving towards the entrance of pagoda.
“Wait!” Lin Li stopped Zhen Han. She has questions for which she needs answers!
Didn’t really want to write this chapter as it is kind of a repeat from starting chapters. But it was necessary to show geniuses are not that important in long run as every year new geniuses are born. Of course, Zhen Han is different!
