@uri , do we get a list of what Kuvara can do from birth? I am wondering about her ability to provide tempering tribulation, if she was born with innate knowledge of divine qi, if she can grant powerful blessings and boons.
Or other such stuff in a similar way to the mercenary board.
I'll push until the bitter end to do date divination as early as possible and hope that we get even just one or two extra turns, as that would change everything.
I think that it is pointless because we are getting the turns either way, and being slightly more informed until we have time to waste isn't worth it.
But that would require having enough divine qi for divination lessons, and than you can make your own divination plan, turn twelve has most of it's qi capitalised by the tech upgrade, us, our daughter and maybe soul surgery lessons if we are really lucky and have left over.
Turn 13 should be divination turn.
Currently I am most inclined for keeping our divine qi of turn 12 in our pocket for emergency resurrection (can't know when you would need it, especially with tech upgrade possibly making traitors bold enough to try and make a move with technology), turn 13 we get divination lessons and either go with making an insight, or waiting for a turn after it to heal slightly more, doing a tempering tribulation to improve our harmony, and assuming everything goes well, do two insights.
I am assuming that by that point we found a fix to the Keku pillar, investing in that is worthwhile purely to get the divine insight back only, and it would increase our stability.
I kinda disagree on healing the third steps not being worth it.
I think it is worth it, the broken refer to those who failed their tribulation, those that their cultivation collapsed and were left cripples in pain.
They are victims that need taking care off, it is unfair that they dedicated their lives to getting their powers to fight the apocalypse and we discard them as useless after they failed, but our time is too valuable, I think finding a cure to the broken is one of the first things we should do after the apocalypse.
The half steps main question is if to leave handling it to our daughter or add it to our very busy schedule, I am more inclined to add it, because our daughter going to finish reinforcing the warp just before the earliest start for the apocalypse or even slightly after it started, and it isn't like she has more uses for her time if the apocalypse come later, she still can't deploy her domain in real space, she can expand the religion and practice her combat ability, or she can try blessings our people and land.
using raw power, so an absurd amount of qi and/or divine qi, to basically saturate the pillar in it and overwhelm the chaos energy within. Maybe create a runic array capable of channeling the qi of MANY cultivators into us to help with it, for example, or draining the potential of some places of power
We can't do runes, but I guess we can help someone who does make it.
4)Maybe just very deep meditation
I suspect this is what would happen, our guy will just study it and use his heaven defying talent to come up with a solution, same way he did for the ninth pillar.
Although solution may be cheaper if we are willing to expand divine qi on it,
Our APs are very precious right now, so I imagine the emperor is more than willing to wait for his natural regeneration to work its magic.
I think we are better either waiting, or expanding just one ap, but unless we need to, I am more inclined to wait.
