Chapter 1103 - 1103 – Negotiations (1/2)

'So, that's what the Black Magnate meant with negotiations,' Gravis thought.

Gravis looked at the Sect Master of the Eternal Fire Sect and hoped that the Sect Master didn't lose his reason. If he did, he could flatten the entire Myriad Sect with a flip of his hand. However, his Karmic Luck would essentially drop even below zero.

In actuality, it wasn't possible for Karmic Luck to fall below zero, but there were legends about some things that happened when someone with zero Karmic Luck continued to unnecessarily kill Cultivators.

Gravis was pretty sure that the Sect Master wouldn't want to test if these legends were true.

At the same time, Manuel stepped forward and bowed politely. ”I am the Sect Master of the Myriad Sect. How can I help you?” he asked.

The Sect Master looked at Manuel.

Then, he looked at Mortis and Gravis.

”What about those two?” the Sect Master asked, referring to Mortis and Gravis. The Sect Master had seen that Gravis and Mortis were even more powerful than Manuel.

”They are friends of the Myriad Sect, but they are not part of it,” Manuel said with a polite smile.

The Sect Master combed his small beard with his fingers in thought. 'Understandable. The people in the Myriad Sect are already very talented, but such a small Sect couldn't possibly house two such freaks.'

Even if the Sect Master planned to kill the Myriad Sect, he wouldn't dare to attack Mortis and Gravis.

Why?

Because the two of them were too abnormal and too special. Only a Peak Sect or similar powers could possibly hope to create two such insane geniuses.

Right now, the Sect Master was trying to come to a decision.

He had two options:

Kill the Myriad Sect.

Don't kill the Myriad Sect.

What were the pros and cons?

The pros for killing the Myriad Sect were revenge for his dead disciples and to prevent future trouble. This Sect had already proven that warring with it was too dangerous. Nearly all the Star Gods in the Eternal Fire Sect warred other Sects due to training. This was not meant as tempering.

The Star Gods would search for tempering on their own. When it came to warring Sects, it was all about teaching the Star Gods how to run a Sect and how to triumph over an opponent.

These were two different parts of training.

So, by killing the Myriad Sect, not only would the Sect Master get his revenge, but he would also eradicate the future danger for the Star Gods of the Eternal Fire Sect.

What were the cons of killing the Myriad Sect?

The killer would essentially lose all their Karmic Luck, and they might even summon the Sin Monsters. At that point, only a cruel death would await the killer.

The Sect Master could send another Ancestral God to destroy the Myriad Sect, but the rules were not that easy to circumvent. Orthar had thought about everything.

If someone decided to send someone else to do their bidding, any eventual damage to Karmic Luck would fall on the person issuing the order. Depending on the willingness of the person doing the act, they might also receive a part of the Karmic Luck damage.

For example, if someone manipulated someone into doing something horrible, the manipulator would get 100% of the damage while the person doing the act would get away scot-free.

If two people jointly decided that they should do something like that, both of them would get 50% of the damage.

The Sect Master could unite the Sect to make a joint decision to destroy the Myriad Sect to share the Karmic Luck damage.

However, there were problems with that.

First of all, not everyone would agree, and some of them would feel forced. This would push the damage back to the person giving them the decision.

Second, people joined a Sect to become more powerful. Karmic Luck was very difficult to increase. The only feasible method was to take on disciples and guide them to power. That took a lot of work, time, and resources.

The disciples joined a Sect to become more powerful, not to become weaker. The disciples would be very angry and dissatisfied with having to sacrifice their Karmic Luck for their Sect.

Third, the Myriad Sect had an absolutely insane amount of Karmic Luck.

Looking at Karmic Luck wasn't very difficult for Ancestral Gods. The Sect Master was shocked when he saw the Karmic Luck hanging over the Myriad Sect.

10%.

The Myriad Sect had 10% of the Karmic Luck of the Eternal Fire Sect, which was insane.

The Eternal Fire Sect had over a hundred Ancestral Gods, and they had thousands of Star Gods. The gathered Karmic Luck of these disciples all worked upon the entirety of the Eternal Fire Sect.

Yet, the Myriad Sect had 10% of the Eternal Fire Sect's Karmic Luck.

They didn't even have ten Star Gods!

Would it be worth it to destroy the Myriad Sect for the Star Gods of the Eternal Fire Sect in exchange for 10% of their Karmic Luck?

No.

Having the Myriad Sect around would only endanger some Star Gods, who could quickly be replaced.
