THE INNKEEPER

Chapter 1490  No sense

“The Guidance Dome is under the protection of Heaven itself,” the Dao Lord said in a solemn voice. “Even Dao Lords cannot interfere without interrupting the Guidance. In fact, if a Dao Lord tries to interfere, they will suffer a backlash. Heavens Guidance is no joke. I want to find out who the hell does maintenance? Why didn’t they spot the issue with the lotus?”

Somewhere else in the resort, a janitor who was about to enjoy his lunch suddenly went pale. For some reason, he had a very bad feeling he couldn’t explain.

“Sir, what should we do for now?” asked one of the Seraphim in the office. “The guest has been receiving his Guidance for four minutes already, and though we’ve increased the reserve resources to support six minutes, I don’t know how much longer we can keep this going.”

For a moment the Dao Lord did not respond, but then shook her head.

“The one who paid for this premium package is the Governor of the Origin realm. We cannot afford to offend the Henali like this. Tap into our resource reserves for the next hundred years. No matter what happens, we cannot afford to have this Guidance interrupted.”

As the rest of the Seraphim ran around like frightened mice, the Dao Lord thought of the irony of the situation. She remembered how, long ago, natural Guidances used to last for hours or even days. But in an effort to improve the efficiency and potency of the Guidance, numerous ingenious ways had been created to make it more powerful.

Yet as a result, those undergoing Guidance couldn’t tolerate the immense pressure it caused their psyche. This was because each Guidance was specifically designed for the person undergoing it, keeping their limitations within consideration. By increasing the potency of the Guidance, they created an unexpected situation where no one was actually able to experience the whole Guidance.

It was still immensely useful, but as a result, trillions of generations never knew what the full effects of the Guidance actually felt like – except for a chosen few with exceptional backgrounds and connections.

Now, there was an inadvertent chance that this random human would become the first being in the universe to experience the full Guidance at maximum efficiency and potency. The Seraphim really wanted to look into how that was possible, but she also did not want to offend Hiran Kokan, the governor of the Origin realm. He was not such a friendly guy, and the Henali were genuinely one of the most powerful forces in the universe.

The Seraphim Dao Lord suddenly frowned. Wait, why was it a human who experienced this instead of a Henali? Was this a hint from the Henali that they were supporting the human race? Was something unexpected about to happen?

“You all ensure that this Guidance is not interrupted no matter what! I have a meeting I need to go to!” the Dao Lord said, before teleporting away. The Seraphim needed to have an emergency meeting to discuss their future!

Meanwhile, within the Guidance Dome, the lotus that appeared on Lex’s back was slowly channeling energy from its body into the lotus Lex was sitting on. With the energy from the Midnight Realm at his disposal, the Brimming Dream Lotus not only ensured that Lex’s trance was as deep as possible, it also ensured that Lex would stay completely protected, suffering no strain whatsoever.

But it was not just the lotus keeping Lex free of his strain. His Domination self activated, and so did his Empyrean Resonance physique, affecting only himself. Domination was directly linked to his heart, so it made sense that it was stirred when Lex was under pressure, but his physique was special.

In fact, it affected other humanoid races but hardly had any influence at all on himself. This was because it was already a mutation of his original physique, which only helped evolve other humans.

So there was no reason for his physique to activate, except that Heaven Guidance took every aspect of Lex into consideration when it began his Guidance. That included parts of himself even he might not be aware of or understand completely.

Time flowed by, minute by minute, robbing the Seraphim of resources many times the entire cumulative MP that the Inn had ever collected, yet Lex had no knowledge of it. He was still in his trance, witnessing colors, objects, emotions and intentions mix together, giving birth to completely unpredictable results.

Sometimes, the end result was so complex and sophisticated that in his current condition Lex had no way to entirely comprehend what it was. Other times, the result was ridiculously simple.

He saw hunger and the color red fuse with a flower to give birth to a rock band. He saw cartoons and pink and love give birth to an entire generation of emotionally stable adults. He saw emotionally stable adults lead to a time of loss and famine and war, for without the inherent flaws in their personalities to motivate them to action, societies declined.

He saw the decline of empires mix with the color brown, and the intention to survive blend with hopelessness, and of everything, it resulted in homework.

If he still had the capacity to think, Lex would have wondered what any of this had to do with Karma. As he could not think, he could only continue to observe, absorbing all the information like a sponge. Each fusion segment became longer and longer, as one more element was added to it each time, causing the equation to become even more complex and unpredictable.

A more complex equation did not mean that it made any more sense, nor did a simple one mean that the end result was predictable. There was no pattern to be discerned at any step, with the only thing that seemed to follow any kind of rule was that one of each, a color, an emotion, an object and some kind of intention were added to the equation. Until that changed, that is.

When the number of independent variables in each equation reached ten, all rules seemed to break down. Colors were added to colors, objects were added to objects. Some equations were ten variables long, while others had hundreds, or even as small as one!

A single color, without any other variable or input, sometimes resulted in an outcome other than that color. It was an absolute mess – almost as bad as the mess outside, where the Seraphim were panicking because Lex’s Guidance had lasted over 20 hours!
