Free Web NovelChapter 869: Chapter 349: Gods Become Karmic Demons
However.
What appears to be a perfect Sheng Shi, where the populace lives in peace and happiness, is in reality... the era of academic explosion has begun to stagnate.
Due to the monopoly and dictatorship of capital, there is no competitiveness, all sorts of filth continue, and some second-generation capitalists indulge in various debaucheries, with decadent pleasures in wine and women.
Those cultivators have begun to decay, becoming corrupt and unambitious.
The reason is obvious.
I was born with various powerful life charts, born sacred and blessed by mighty forces; why should I still strive?
A human’s child is still human.
The Immortal Sect plutocracy monopolizes currency circulation; wealth is concentrated in the hands of 1%, and a god’s child remains a god, even if they become decadent, no one will seize power.
And so, there is no concept of competition, and the era of rapid advancement has come to a halt.
Upon the throne.
An imposing and domineering Emperor, his gaze cold:
"What if the world has stagnated in progress?"
"This world ultimately belongs to me, this Outer Heaven Heavenly Demon, and not to you, a laughable and kind native... Night Emperor!"
"I have reclaimed the royal power, I have defeated you! And I will continue to win!"
"However, this era’s stagnation is indeed a problem."
Emperor Changjin, majestic and awe-inspiring, exudes such a powerful aura that even the palace trembles.
He gazes down upon the ministers: "Beloved ministers, with the stagnation of the era, what solutions do you propose?"
At this moment, the Prime Minister Masked Emperor steps forward:
"Your Majesty, we have only the Divine Race practicing cultivation, too few cultivators, the population base is insufficient, exploitation, lack of competitiveness, class solidification... resulting in the era being unable to progress."
How could Emperor Changjin not know this, yet he still angrily said, "I am asking you to come up with solutions!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
A terrifying aura suppresses the entire grand hall, a violent and manic aura so overwhelming that others find it hard to breathe.
The oppressive karmic force binds him, tangled lines making this lofty mythological Emperor irritable.
He is, in reality, only 50% Golden God, his combat power half as strong as others.
To solidify his rule, possessing unmatched combat power, he even at great cost absorbed a significant amount of Qi Fortune Value from other beings.
Now his Qi Fortune Bar is impressively long!
Just like a game boss’s health bar, it is remarkably long.
And due to absorbing too much destiny from others, throughout the world, he is the most heavily bound by cause and effect.
Time and again, -2, he has roughly absorbed others’ destiny limits to amplify himself.
Only 10% is his own vast Qi Fortune Value, the remaining 90% comes from various beings’ Qi Fortune Values, a mixture of chaotic colors.
Below.
The Night Emperor has blended into the ministers, using a Masked Spirit Root to replace a minister, quietly observing the supreme Great Emperor above him.
"Emperor Changjin, you can use the mask to replace one of my ministers and infiltrate the court."
"How could I not use the same method against you?"
"You don’t even know that my true Divine Techniques are also masked and capable of sneaking in among you."
"This is the darkness beneath the lamp."
"From the beginning, you have never known that I, like you, am an outsider, let alone that I am also a clone."
The Night Emperor watches calmly, silently observing.
He deliberately allows the era to run wild and chaotic, with cause and effect constantly stacking and amplifying, just to see if there are other flaws.
Whether killing the indebted, stealing others’ destinies would lead to no troubles.
But apparently.
There are secondary effects.
Secondary Effect 1: [Karma Response]
A person’s Qi Fortune Value is 10, and by relentlessly exploiting -2 each time, it may permanently reduce their upper limit by -0.002 each time.
As others grow and get stronger, they will come to reclaim the debt, retrieve the original upper limit.
Cultivating the path of destiny, naturally, it will spiritually sense the owed cause and effect, requiring it to be reclaimed to resolve this karma and remove the Heart Demon.
This is the notion of a nemesis.
Secondary Effect 2: [Bound by Karmic Force]
You massively absorb others’ Qi Fortune Values, you bear 1000 Qi Fortune Bars, possibly 900 originating from different entities.
It’s not power earned through one’s own cultivation, it’s stolen... chaotic and confusing.
The Night Emperor has already speculated in his heart.
The three major systems are actually similar!
What becomes of unrestricted fusion of flesh?
The Chaotic Body Era is an example.
The reckless fusion of other beings’ flesh, resulting in flesh mutations and genetic rejection, transforming into a chaotic body of flesh and blood demon, an abominable and sticky mass of life knowing only slaughter.
What about unrestricted soul fusion?
And a Demon Path cultivator madly absorbing other souls, forming a hybrid and chaotic massive muddy qi soul demon life form. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
And what about an extensive mixture of Qi Fortune Values?
When only 1% is one’s own, and 99% is absorbed from various sources, bound by karmic force, what will it turn into?
It surely is already not human.
"Oh, gods, what kind of monsters will you become?"
The Night Emperor smiles internally:
"The great karmic tribulation is drawing near; these greedy capital gods likely have no escape, if they truly transform..."
The names of the terrifying monsters the gods will become, I have already thought of.
The Chaos Destiny Demon God wreathed in Karmic Fire...
Karmic Demon!!
The Night Emperor continuously observes and has derived a cultivation experience.
"When a bottom-level Daoist is in primitive accumulation, he can’t avoid coarsely exploiting others’ destinies, bearing cause and effect..."
"This monopoly capital game, in primitive capital accumulation, is often bloody."
"But after gaining strength, it’s best to reduce exploitation, abandon this path."
"Once capital grows, one must legitimate and change courses! Become a benevolent entrepreneur!"
"Do not absorb others’ fortunes... don’t cultivate external causes, focus on one’s own cultivation, personally grow destiny cultivation."
"Then slowly refine the disparate Qi Fortune Values within, ultimately not tainted by cause nor karmic force, achieving self-purity, becoming a saint, transcending worldly affairs, overlooking one great karmic tribulation after another."
"This is the path of the Daoist!"
The Night Emperor laughs heartily, having resolved countless doubts in his heart, suddenly gaining clarity, feeling an exhilarating sense of enlightenment.
Till now.
The way of destiny is largely understood.
The Night Emperor quietly gazes at Emperor Changjin directly above,
"Emperor Changjin, historically difficult to kill, the mask technique, too adept at evasion."
"But now, he’s personally heading toward self-destruction... it’s extremely intriguing, the charm of scheming, killing without a hand, being locked by the world’s causal web, how will you escape this time?"
Just as the Night Emperor kept calculating in his heart, this session of the Celestial Court meeting had already concluded.
"I am tired, you may withdraw now."
After dismissing the crowd, Emperor Changjin,
"Yes!"
The Night Emperor bows and retreats, "Your Majesty, we take our leave."
Among the hundred ministers, thirty-seven have already changed appearances, Masked Emperors, and also withdrawn alongside.
Instantly, on the vacant throne.
Emperor Changjin, with his chaotic and muddled Qi Fortune aura, wrapped in karmic force and wreathed with karmic fire, remains expressionless and cold:
"Night Emperor, oh Night Emperor, where are you hiding?"
"Who cares if the outer world stagnates, once I have completely inscribed the [Life and Death Legacy], and wield true authority, how would I not be able to decide the world’s development?"
