**Chapter 1963: Probability Approaching Zero**

Through the introduction of the Hao Saint Sovereign, Lin Moyu learned that these seemingly ordinary people were actually the ancestors of various major families.

Among the hundred people, there were three in the Other Shore realm.

The rest were all peak God Sovereigns.

It made sense; if they were not lucky, they wouldn't have been able to cultivate to this level.

There were many in the Human Race who were in the Other Shore and peak God Sovereign realms. The Hao Saint Sovereign and the others must have selected those who had cultivated for a shorter time and had more opportunities to come and try.

These ancestors were well aware of the importance of luck, and their growth was inseparable from good fortune.

When they heard that Lin Moyu was a God Sovereign at the age of one hundred, they were all astonished.

The most outrageous was the one who wanted to marry off his hundreds of granddaughters to Lin Moyu.

According to him, his hundreds of granddaughters were all stunning beauties, the best in the world.

His idea was terrifying, but what was even more terrifying was that there were dozens of people who had the same idea.

If it weren't for the presence of the Hao Saint Sovereign, Lin Moyu even suspected that these ancestor-level figures might directly force him into marriage.

Lin Moyu stood at the entrance of the Cloud Mist Heavenly Palace inheritance site at the foot of the mountain, reflecting on his cultivation journey, "Luck does seem to be quite important."

He had narrowly escaped danger and turned misfortune into fortune several times.

Not to mention the past, even this time, when he was stranded in the outer domain, his experiences were unique.

Not only did he not encounter fatal danger, but he also gained many benefits.

Lin Moyu thought, "Perhaps this is what they call luck, some kind of invisible force."

Thinking of this, Lin Moyu suddenly felt a sense of respect for this intangible force. The unseen and untouchable power was truly terrifying.

It was difficult to find its source, impossible to trace its cause, and impossible to guard against.

"I wonder what the inheritance of the Cloud Mist Heavenly Palace will be!"

While pondering, Lin Moyu entered the entrance.

The mist rolled, and faint tremors came from the mountain. The Hao Saint Sovereign's gaze fell on the mist-covered mountain, as if trying to see inside.

Unfortunately, even as a Saint Sovereign, he couldn't see anything at this moment.

"Hope he succeeds!"

He muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness.

Clearly, the inheritance of the Cloud Mist Sect was very important.

But relying on luck, he had no confidence.

Lin Moyu passed through a layer of dense fog where he couldn't see his hand in front of his face and found a mountain path before him.

The mountain path was paved with green jade, looking extremely smooth, winding up along the mountain.

He could see about twenty meters of the path, beyond which it was shrouded in dense fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

The Hao Saint Sovereign hadn't told Lin Moyu the specific content of the test, only that he would know once he got inside.

With doubts in his mind, Lin Moyu stepped onto the green jade path.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear.

"The inheritance test begins. Please walk along the green jade path to the top of the mountain."

"Do not leave the green jade path. Leaving it will be considered a failure."

"If you encounter a dead end, you have three chances to turn back. If you use up all three chances, you will fail."

That's it?

Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment. The rules were very simple.

You cannot leave the green jade path, and you have three chances to turn back. In other words, apart from these three chances, you cannot turn back.

"Encountering a dead end, is this test a maze?"

Lin Moyu immediately grasped the key point and understood the true nature of the test.

He didn't start immediately; he wasn't in a hurry. The test didn't require speed, so it didn't matter if he was fast or slow.

"A maze-like test means I will face countless choices."

"If I choose correctly, I can continue forward. If I choose incorrectly, I will be eliminated."

"But I can try countless times, which also means that each choice is different."

"In other words, this maze is constantly changing."

"Such a test, if viewed from the outside, would have no secrets, so the entire mountain is shrouded in mist."

"Yes, very simple rules, but also very practical."

Lin Moyu realized that trying to remember each choice would be useless, as each test was different.

All he could do was rely on luck or find the differences to find the correct path.

But an ancient sect's test was unlikely to have differences; it was most likely based on luck.

Lin Moyu finally moved, stepping onto the green jade path and moving forward.

With each step, the green jade path behind him was shrouded in mist, meaning there was no way back.

"The three chances to turn back only appear after the first choice."

"Having three chances also means that luck fluctuates. There are good times and bad times, and choices made during bad times will naturally be wrong."

As he pondered, Lin Moyu walked twenty meters along the green jade path.

The mist in front of him cleared, revealing a fork in the road.

The fork split into two paths, winding up on both sides, each about twenty meters long, with the ends still shrouded in mist.

A choice between two.

Lin Moyu now had to choose one of the two green jade paths.

"Just as I thought, the Cloud Mist Heavenly Palace uses the simplest test method, just like the rules, with no complexity."

"Such a test method purely relies on luck."

"You don't even need to use your brain. What if a cultivator with pure luck but no courage comes? Would this really be useful?"

Lin Moyu pondered and casually chose the left path.

Here, his strength was limited, but his soul's sensitivity remained unchanged.

He couldn't feel any difference between the two paths; they were exactly the same.

Since that was the case, it didn't matter which one he chose. As for right or wrong, it was entirely up to his luck.

The test rules were extremely simple, no wonder the Hao Saint Sovereign hadn't mentioned them; there was no need to.

After making his choice, the green jade path behind him remained, unlike before when it disappeared.

If he regretted his choice now, he could turn back to the fork and choose again.

He had three chances to turn back.

Reaching the end of the green jade path again, the mist cleared, revealing another fork with two paths.

This time, the green jade path behind him disappeared.

"My choice was correct; there was no dead end."

"The chances to turn back only apply to the current choice, not previous ones."

"One choice every twenty meters, a ten-thousand-meter-high mountain, plus the winding path, means the distance to walk is far more than ten thousand meters."

"Nearly a thousand choices, even if the number of choices doesn't increase later, it's always a choice between two."

"Calculating the probability of making the correct choice each time is infinitely low!"

Even with Lin Moyu's mind, he couldn't calculate the success rate of making the correct choice each time.

He could only roughly estimate that the success rate was already shockingly low, far less than one in a billion.

Lin Moyu's eyes showed contemplation, "If the choices increase later, to three or even four options."

"If it's purely based on luck, the probability of getting it all right will approach zero."

"Can anyone really pass such a test?"

At some point, a fire was lit in the village at the foot of Cloud Mist Mountain.

The ancestors began roasting meat and cooking.

Clearly, they were all peak God Sovereigns or even Other Shore realm experts, but here they lived like ordinary people.

Their strength was suppressed, but using storage treasures was still possible.

Their treasures contained enough food to last them thousands of years.

As they cooked delicious food, they discussed Lin Moyu.

"The Hao Saint Sovereign seems to have a special interest in Lin Xiaoyou."

"I guess, does Lin Xiaoyou have some relationship with the Hao Saint Sovereign?"

"Are you saying... an illegitimate child?"

"Don't talk nonsense. With the Hao Saint Sovereign's status, if he had descendants, why would he need an illegitimate child?"

"Well, you never know..."
