Half a Deity Slayer

Lex had already realized that everything he had accumulated was not necessarily for the best. He used to think that gaining more affinities was beneficial, and while it was to an extent, the price was similarly steep. The worst part was, Lex had so many affinities that as of right now he could not even capitalize on the benefits they should have provided him.

So now he was stuck with the price without gaining any of the benefits. It was as if he bought a hundred manual cars, the bank had sent him the bill with a deadline, but he did not even know how to move his legs, let alone drive!

To be honest, he was navigating his cultivation without proper or systematic guidance, and he often came in contact with amazing opportunities so he could not be blamed for always trying to grab onto them. But it seemed that, sometimes, it was better to give up those opportunities than latch onto them.
