Chapter 10 Diversity
Finally, a new era had begun in the immortal world.
All the mythical beasts chose a place to stay and they decided not to interfere with each other's lives.
This simple and easy life continued for millions of years and the mythical beasts did not try to interfere with each other's life that promise was easy to keep since they were long-lived creatures and their first generation had not died.
During this period of time, the ancestor of great balance was reborn in the dragon race. He was in the womb for hundreds of thousands of years the dragon race was surprised by how much time it took for him to be born.
When he was born almost all the first generation and the second generation were present.
During his birth even the newly born heavenly dao was anxious and when he was finally born the heavenly dao celebrated his birth and hundreds of dragons of all colors flew on top of his head the spiritual energy got denser.
Seeing this he was surprised and asked "what is going on? what is happening?"
Hearing this everyone stopped including the heavenly dao
"H...He can talk"
The ancestor of great balance scrutinized this person and asked "who are you?"
Hearing this he smiled and said "I am your father. My name is Long Aotian."
"Oh! Alright, and who am I?" He asked.
Everyone was surprised and thought then immediately they started fighting about who going to name this child.
"Let's name him long wu"
"long wu your head let's name him long Wang."
"Ahem since I am an elder I will name him"
Long Aotian immediately stood interjected, "since I am also a first-generation dragon I get to name him plus I am stronger than you."
Then the oldest first-generation dragon stopped them "enough you two let us take a step back and ask the child. You are too old to do this in Infront of the younger generation."
They both lowered their heads and said together "We are sorry elder brother."
"Hey, kid my name is Long Tianjin. What do you want your name to be."
The ancestor of great balance thought for a moment" All I am thinking about is luck I like luck so can I have luck?"
Long Tianjin smiled kindly at him and told "Very good Yunqi is a good name from now on you will be long Yunqi."
After Long Yunqi was named the celebration continued for 3 years and did not stop for a second.
...
All dragon race kinsmen were all born at the Earthly immortal cultivation realm.
The dragon race was blessed by the heavenly dao. They all had a simple and easy life.
They did not need any cultivation technique or anything of the similar. They only needed to be alive to reach the golden immortal realm and they could live for 10,000,000 years.
Although they had all those advantages they did a few small disadvantages.
The first was the cultivation progressed slowly ten times that of humans. for example, it takes the human race's best geniuses somewhere between ten thousand to thirty thousand years to go from Earthly immortal realm to Heavenly Immortal realm while it takes the best of the dragon race three hundred thousand years but this was set off by that the normal dragon race kinsmen had ten times of the human race's lifespan if they did not practice any time-related cultivation technique, reincarnation related cultivation technique, and Longevity related cultivation techniques and if they did their lifespan would go from 10,000,000 years to 100,000,000 years.
The second disadvantage was they were lascivious. They would fuck anything that moves. In fact, they never had any cultivation technique to further progress their cultivation but they made a cultivation technique to fuck every creature under the heavens. Although they did not have many pure-blooded dragons but they had a lot of mixed bloods with almost every creature under the heavens.
The third disadvantage was they did not have many pure-blooded dragons since it took a lot of time for the child to be born on average three thousand years and the longer it takes the better.
That is why they were so happy and celebrated that it took Long Yunqi a long time to be born.
...
Meanwhile somewhere near the Heavenly Dao.
Dao Zhī Shàng wanted to go to the immortal world and move events faster.
Although he knew doing that in the immortal world would get him in trouble.
But there was a solution 'why don't help the great way create a new universe.'
Although I will not do it personally why don't I push it in the right direction making it think it came up with the plan? And as for me, I would have diversified my investments.
"Diversity is the engine of invention. it generates creativity that enriches my Dao."
It is a misconception that diversification will magically reduce losses. It cannot be far from the truth. Diversification does not reduce losses but provides a weighted average return for your portfolio.¹
It is a common misconception that if you diversify, you don't need to learn anything. Just buy a bunch of stocks, and you will be good. Nothing can be further from the truth.²
No amount of diversification can replace investment research. If you want to invest, you have to learn.³
Although it would be a great idea to diversify but that does not mean I get to take a back seat and watch. If I have ever learned anything from myself it would be 'Never leave anything to chance'
If I can reach here so can others and I do not want to be a stepping stone to anyone.
Even though it is almost impossible to kill me there is always the small chance what if a higher being sees me as an I sore and kills me.
All creatures are ruled by circumstances for example a mortal can not go around asking for freedom. First, he has to live to a thousand years then slowly move to a million a trillion a septillion then perhaps immortality after immortality you start asking for strength and there is no peak to strength it is impossible. After reaching a peak that does not exist then can you have freedom.
Anyway if you know a person is controlling and you can not escape him try to ensure your life and safety if you can not do that beg for your life and if you can not do that please do not run just die in peace and hope you have a better next life.
