Chapter 107: Heaven’s Reward?
Li Yuan had suffered heavy losses from burning his immortal power and merits along the way.
His body turned translucent again, and the golden light of merit on his body turned into a thin, light gold color.
But, when the heroic souls fulfilled their wishes and left with the skeleton guide.
Li Yuan stood on the top of Anshan Mountain, waiting quietly.
A very dazzling golden light gathered from the direction of Anyue.
That is the power of merit and incense generated by the sincere gratitude of the people of Anyue.
The people of Anyue truly and sincerely thank the mountain god for his kindness.
The power of this merit and incense is very strong, and just these can make Li Yuan recover most of his health!
At the same time, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky.
Along with the golden light descending, there was also a wisp of pale white mysterious energy.
This mysterious energy was so special that even Zhang Tiansheng, who was sitting cross-legged for a nap, was startled.
"Heaven has bestowed upon me a great merit and bestowed upon me a ray of heavenly aura?"
Zhang Tiansheng was slightly surprised, and then looked deeply in the direction of Li Yuan.
"Is this kid just guessing, or is he sure of it?"
It seemed that the Emperor of Heaven had discovered new fun in Li Yuan.
The immortals and gods in the second heaven who were still paying attention to Li Yuan were all dumbfounded.
Isn't this young god trying to get himself killed? Why did Heaven grant him blessings?
Is it possible that there is no merit in matters concerning the dead souls?
Moreover, at the moment when Heaven bestowed merit, their vision was blocked, not allowing them to observe Li Yuan anymore.
This resulted in the immortals and gods not seeing that ray of great Tiangang energy at all!
Only a big shot of Zhang Tiansheng's level can sense it in the first place.
On the top of Anshan Mountain, the golden light of Li Yuan's merits surged, and in the blink of an eye it returned to its original level.
In fact, with the blessing of heaven, Li Yuan's cultivation was even better than before.
There were still a lot of remaining merits and incense, but Li Yuan waved his hand and led them into the belly of Anshan.
There is something there that is being baptized by the incense of merit.
That ray of celestial energy, following the golden light of merit, descended from the sky, surrounding Li Yuan, quite close.
Li Yuan played with this special energy, his eyes somewhat deep.
He made the right bet.
Ever since the Skeleton Guide said that "Heaven is displeased", Li Yuan has been thinking about the consequences of this trip.
It has been more than a hundred years since he became a god. Ever since the mountain god of Liangshan gave him the "Hundred Records of Immortals", he has often read its contents.
Li Yuan discovered something that was ignored by all the immortals and gods.
In the principles of immortals and gods, there is only permission or disapproval.
Heaven does not like this kind of thing. How do we judge it?
Li Yuan believed that the vast majority of immortals and gods would not attempt to take on this unlucky opportunity and become test subjects.
If something like this happens that would displease the 'God of Heaven', the gods and immortals would be extremely wary and would do their best to avoid it and not get involved.
So as to avoid offending the will of heaven and bringing punishment and disaster.
The immortals and gods have eternal lifespans. As long as they do their jobs well, they can enjoy merits and offerings forever. Who would be willing to disrupt such "stability"?
However, when Li Yuan encountered this kind of thing, he was really moved by the persistence of the heroes and couldn't help but want to do it.
When he was about to do it, he had already roughly estimated the possible consequences.
There are only three.
Either Li Yuan was unable to cope with the divine punishment when doing something beyond his normal responsibilities, and died halfway, but his ghost was still obsessed with it.
Either Li Yuan will bear the punishment from heaven and bring the dead souls back home successfully.
Then the heavens would not care about anything, Li Yuan's merits and virtues would be gone, he would be stripped of his divine duties, or he would be seriously injured and become the 'Sleeping Goddess'.
Alternatively, if Li Yuan successfully brings the dead souls back home, the Heavenly Dao will consider it a great merit.
Why is it said to be a great merit?
Li Yuan always remembers one thing.
Mortals are the darlings of heaven and earth in this era.
They are a race favored by heaven and blessed with good fortune!
Be it an immortal or a ghost, don't worry about how he behaves in his daily life.
Their divine duties are to maintain the stability of the three realms and protect peace on earth!
One hundred and four hundred thousand dead souls gathered together, resisting reincarnation with deep obsession.
This is human obsession.
The guide cannot solve the problem, and does not want to ask other guides to share the "performance".
If no one pays attention to the 140,000 souls with strong evil spirits and their obsession lasts for years, it will easily turn into resentment.
Amid the overwhelming resentment, evil spirits were born and humanity became unstable.
This is the disaster of resentment.
At this time, Li Yuan took action.
It not only fulfilled the obsession of Anyue's soldiers, but also did a favor to the Underworld.
Although the method of action was not as recommended by the Skeleton Guide, ordering the dead souls to return.
But as long as Li Yuan sets off, the face has been given.
If a deity suddenly does something beyond his normal duties and interferes with the affairs of ghosts, the heavens will certainly not be pleased.
If you don’t like something, it will create resistance.
Send down a divine punishment that is enough to torture Li Yuan and warn him to stop doing this.
If Li Yuan couldn't withstand the punishment from heaven and lacked the ability, he would have fallen halfway.
As a result, the dead souls had nowhere to go, and finally they were burned by the yang energy, and resentment arose...
The way of heaven will naturally crush Li Yuan without mercy.
But what if Li Yuan succeeded?
The resentment of 140,000 dead souls dissipated, their obsession faded, and they voluntarily entered the cycle of reincarnation.
The living people also have less worries and resentment, and more relief.
Then the Heavenly Dao will have to think about this matter and decide how to judge it.
Should Li Yuan's merits and demerits offset each other, or should he be rewarded?
As it turns out, the disappearance of the resentment of 140,000 dead souls is much more important in the eyes of heaven than the transgression of a small mountain god.
Therefore, Li Yuan obtained the third result of the conjecture.
This is something he has to do, but it is also a gamble in another sense.
Fortunately, the saying "God is fair" is not biased.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished; if you do it right, you will be rewarded!
Moreover, on the way back with the souls of the dead, the strange power born from the unity of everyone seemed to make the power of heaven punishment fear it.
Li Yuan was also very interested in that strange power.
But that kind of power has long disappeared.
Li Yuan could only speculate that it was related to spiritual powers such as the beliefs and thoughts of living beings.
Feeling the rich golden light of merit returning to his body, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth slightly raised.
My current cultivation level is actually a little more advanced than before.
If he could integrate the extra merits and incense, Li Yuan could even instantly become a seventh-level mountain god.
Li Yuan naturally had his own considerations for integrating the extra merits and incense into the main body of the mountain instead of absorbing them into the immortal body.
The battle of the mountain is not far away, and he wants to be the 'Sixth Man'.
The battle on the mountain became increasingly intense, and Li Yuan could even sense the approximate strength of Tianyun Mountain.
Li Yuan believed that if he could sense it in this way, the God of Tianyun Mountain would certainly be able to do so as well.
Therefore, don't be in a hurry to improve your strength to a level that surpasses your opponent.
If the God of Tianyun Mountain were to find out that Li Yuan's cultivation had surpassed his own, he might do something weird.
Li Yuan didn't want to be tricked by the other party.
First, stabilize the old man and make him think that he has tried every possible way to improve to this weak first-line level.
Let down their guard.
When the war starts, I’ll smack him in the face.
