If luck isn't on your side, not only could you fail to inherit the Confucian Sage's "special talent," but you might also lose the Sage's eye... and an entire path to immortality!
The price is nothing short of devastating.
It's a "do or die" situation!
Such a steep cost would stop even the most powerful beings across the myriad worlds in their tracks.
Even those who stand at the pinnacle of countless worlds and have achieved immortality typically just walk their own path to eternity.
Take the "Heavenly Emperor," for instance. She possessed a "Heavenly Court Path" and a "Time Path" simultaneously—a rarity even in the vastness of all worlds!
But even the Heavenly Emperor didn't hold both eternal methods at the same time. She passed the "Heavenly Court Path" to Jin Gua before stabilizing her immortality through the "Time Path."
