Sounds like a horrible thing in practice, your family is rich, maybe too rich and thus require more than you are willing to give, you know not if they will love you, but they sure have a lot of influence to ruin any freedom you might want... Hopefully all those worries are unfounded.

Grinding stats while they are lower should be easier right? I've always found it wasteful when people who can actually improve themselves without systems just willy nilly dump all points without first reaching a level where it would be more inefficient to not Up Stats. Also, point allocation into stuff like Stamina could improve his training ability, thus increasing his gains

Intelligence is something we as a species fail to capture whole, expecting to see a satisfying answer everytime he pushes INT up would be very hard to visualize as an author and also hard to balance if it worked like that.

Mathematics, the very language of quantified abstraction. The only langue in which there is no lie, only wrong assumptions.

Except this time time he has a hard limit of 1 Yuan Epoch to fix things, the stakes are also where one big war and he flat out loses. If mortal civilization is over than that's it. Cultivators not immortal will also all die and not come back, weakening the Heavenly Dao. He is literally worse off now compared to when he started.

Honestly... The Heaven Lock is bullshit, and then one bullshit after another, so many Ls that it just completely negates the whole Luck, Fate, Destiny and all that nonsense... He hasn't had good luck in so long that you wonder if he is just another run of the mill emperor out there. Also, doesn't he have transcendental methods of cultivation? That should have precedence over Heavenly Dao right? Otherwise it would be impossible for Supreme Unity to become a Half Transcendent. Let's not even talk about the horrible Karma Sins Supreme has accumulated over the time he corrupted Buddhism, empowered the Moons atrocities and his current sins against the Eternal Ascension World, dude should be so unlucky and filled to the brim of resentment and karma debts that just one touch would demolish his Luck. Supreme can do everything he wants even though there's literally 2 Half Transcendent against him, he isn't the majority of the power share in the world and thus doesn't control all the Qi Luck anymore, let's not even talk about the fact he needs to fight other invaders all the time. Meanwhile MC has reverse plot armor, it's getting very frustrating to read this, I get it should be very hard, just make a poison which makes all cultivators in the world go up a realm and overload his heaven's lock or something, the progress doesn't seem to be doing anything so far.

I wonder wether Jagatai will be able to challenge him in swordsmanship? Dude was able to literally destroy ork armies with his sword and speed.

There was that time a Bolter came alive and bit a Guardsman... Anything can become a demon engine, it's just that AI make for the most dangerous ones, having a demon mess around with the data does pose a significant concern, but can it be worse than human error exponentially screwing with countless lives? Honestly, the most advanced AI's were the Men of Stone (Huge core based AI which were colony overseers), it was against them and humanity that the Men of Iron (Drones which would do the hard work) who worked live slaves rebelled against. (maybe the Machine God was a Men of Stone also btw)
