Chapter 891 The Essence of Merit and Karma

It was precisely because of the difficulty in nurturing powerful beings in the Great Thousand World that Bai Zhen had to advance that Great Thousand World into a Primal World before conducting the experiment. Otherwise, by the time Bai Zhen discovered the possibility of proving the Dao in the world, it would be too late!

Of course, Bai Zhen did not only use that Great Thousand World as a testing ground. In order to verify the feasibility of the method of proving the Dao in the world more quickly, Bai Zhen also selected many non-fox race beings with quasi-saint potential from the people of Qingqiu for training!

No one in Qingqiu dared to object to Bai Zhen's arrangements. After all, a potential Quasi-Saint might be a key talent to be cultivated in other places, but in Qingqiu, a place where there are many Saints, Quasi-Saints are everywhere, and Great Luo Immortals are as common as dogs, it's really nothing special!

Moreover, they only have the potential to become quasi-saints, and it is questionable whether they can cultivate to the quasi-saint level in the future. However, if they follow Bai Zhen's arrangements, becoming a saint is something they dare not even dream of, but becoming a quasi-saint is not a problem at all!

As for the problems that might be encountered during the cultivation of the new system, the beings of Qingqiu are not worried. After all, the method of proving the Dao of the world was created by Bai Zhen, a powerful expert in the Heavenly Dao Realm. Even if there are any problems, they will not endanger their lives.

Moreover, even if they die by accident, as long as their true spirit is not extinguished, they can still return through the Six Paths of Reincarnation. At most, because their true spirit is damaged, they will need to go through multiple reincarnations to repair the vacuum!

The experimental subjects in the Primordial World made relatively smooth progress. However, at the very beginning, Bai Zhen did not consider that the experimental subjects' physical strength might have encountered some problems.

Fortunately, these test subjects all possessed Golden Immortal-level cultivation before becoming test subjects, so even if their physical bodies were weak, they still had the strength of True Immortals.

In addition, Bai Zhen discovered it in time and was willing to invest healing resources, which allowed the quality of their inner world to exceed the limits of their physical bodies. When their physical bodies collapsed, Bai Zhen pulled them back from the brink of death, and their physical strength was further enhanced!

Compared to the troubles encountered by the experimental subjects in the Primordial Era, the task of helping the Great Thousand World advance into the Origin World was a major headache for Bai Zhen's clone.

After all, this was the first time Bai Zhen had experienced the Great Thousand Worlds evolving into the Primordial World, and he had absolutely no experience with it. Fortunately, the Primordial World itself was a Primordial World, giving Bai Zhen some reference points, which prevented him from completely feeling his way in the dark!

Although Bai Zhen didn't know when this vast world would become the original world, gradually filling in the gaps in this world still gave Bai Zhen a sense of accomplishment.

Gradually, Bai Zhen stopped caring about when this great world could advance, and instead devoted himself to making up for the shortcomings of this world!

While filling in the gaps in the world, Bai Zhen also finally understood what merit and karma really were!

Merit is actually a special power formed by the world's origin mixed with the good thoughts of all living beings. The good thoughts of all living beings are fine, but they don't cherish them at all. However, the world's origin is an extremely precious thing. If too much merit is distributed in a short period of time, it may cause the world's grade to drop!

Karma, on the other hand, is the evil thoughts of sentient beings that have been specially processed by the Heavenly Dao. The moment these evil thoughts fall upon a living being, they will strip away the mark of this world from the living being according to the rules!

If only a small portion of the mark is removed, the creature will at most be a little unlucky. But if more than 60% of the mark is removed, the creature will basically be abandoned by heaven and earth. It would be a good thing if it could preserve its cultivation level from regressing!

If more than 90% of the mark is stripped away, it's already a miracle that the creature can survive! Of course, if a great calamity erupts, it's basically a certain death!

If the mark is completely stripped away, it means that the creature has been expelled from the local household registration of the world of its birth. If there is a Chaos Pearl that can conceal the secrets of heaven, it will be fine. If not, heaven and earth will treat this creature as a virus and completely erase it from this world!
