Honghuang Playground

Chapter 19 19. Merit and Karma

Even though Bai Ye guessed in every possible way, he never thought that the reward of the Heavenly Dao mission would be merit!

"This is absolutely the most precious reward!" Bai Ye looked at the number 60 behind the column of merit items on the information panel, and was really elated: "Just relying on this, all other rewards are fine!"

Merit and virtue are rotten words in countless prehistoric novels.And in every prehistoric article, the protagonist relies on this thing to become a Buddha and a ancestor, with boundless power!Maybe everyone's detailed explanation of merit is different, but there is always one thing in common - merit is a good thing!The best thing in the world!

This point has also been confirmed by the information obtained from Fuxi!
"Between the heaven and the earth, there are many honorable positions. The honorable positions are recognized by the heaven and the earth, and they are taken by one's own moral cultivation, which has great power."

The morality in this sentence refers to merit!
According to Fuxi, the saint is also a kind of honor.From this we can see that merit must be a prerequisite and an important support for sanctification!
"I have been in Honghuang for 15 years, and I have finally gained merit!"

Thinking of the gap between himself and those senior traversers who worshiped Pangu and took Hongjun as his apprentice as soon as he crossed, Bai Ye really got teary-eyed.Fortunately, the merit reward that came today finally made him regain some confidence!
After a while, when he calmed down, he finally regained his senses and thought about the problem carefully.

“这个环节任务，我的评定是60%，而我得到的奖励是600声望和60功德……看来如果以100%评定完成的话，我的任务奖励就会是1000声望和100的功德！”

Thinking that he lost 40 merits, Bai Ye felt sorry for him, as if the meat in his bowl was taken away by others, it made people feel sad, heartbroken, heartbroken, and...

"Forget it! This is my choice, what's the pity at this time? Don't think about it!"

After comforting himself, he put the 40 merits behind him in a "very generous" manner, and Bai Ye continued to analyze with the corner of his mouth still flattened.

"From this point of view, the acquisition of merit can only be obtained from the mission of the Heavenly Dao!"

"But it's true, the so-called merit must be rewarded by following the way of heaven and responding to the general trend. If you go against the sky, it will be good if you don't be turned into ashes by the God of Punishment Thunder. How can you get merit!"

Merits and virtues are rewarded by the way of heaven and rewarded by living beings, and they must be obtained in accordance with the great events of the way of heaven, not the small favors given to others in ordinary times.

For example: the reincarnation of post-localization.

The reincarnation of Empress Dowager in Houtu is what is needed by the way of heaven, and it is derived from the general trend.Empress Houtu's actions are to inherit the way of heaven and show compassion to all living beings. Although she herself died, there are also immeasurable merits and virtues to be obtained.But if someone is thinking about the Empress Houtu and blocking this matter, so that the Empress Houtu does not die, although it can be regarded as saving a life, it is going against the general trend of heaven and will not get a single bit of merit!

As a matter of fact, most of his mind and soul were instantly wiped out by the lightning strike of the God of Punishment, and his true spirit did not exist!

The Heavenly Dao mission completed by Bai Ye is exactly the general trend of the Heavenly Dao of 'Human Race should be Prosperous', and only then has he gained merit!

"Now on my information panel, there is only one option left that has never been touched!"

Now Bai Ye's information panel is as follows:

【Name: White Night】

[Level: Level 7 - Prehistoric Creatures]

[Innate faction: Human race]

[Faction reputation: 3600-respect]

[merit: 60]

【Karma: 0】

【Experience: 0%】

This option has never been moved, naturally it is karma.

Karma, this is a very magical thing, it will bring bad luck and many calamities to people.Bai Ye once thought that it was something that could be called negative merit, which could cancel out merit.

But this idea is wrong.

Karma is something that exists independently.It will bring bad luck and calamity to people, and even involve people in heaven and earth!It will not cancel each other out with merit!

In fact, if you really want to say it, karma and merit are somewhat similar!It's just that one is pulling people to the good, and the other is pulling people to the bad!
From the internal analysis of merit and karma, each can be regarded as two parts-one part is functional, and the other part is inherent.

It's a bit troublesome to say this, so let's take Guang Chengzi as an example to explain.

Guangchengzi was the first disciple of elucidating teachings, and Yuanshi Tianzun once specially asked him to be a teacher of the Three Emperors to accumulate merit.There is no doubt that he helped the three emperors of the human race and gained a lot of merit.We counted the number of merits he got and recorded it as 4.

And because of this errand of the emperor's teacher, he left Yuxu Palace and went down to the mortal world to join the civil war of the human race, so he naturally caused karma and got karma.We record this amount of karma as 3.

Inevitably, both merit and karma are at work on him!Karma wanted to drag Guang Chengzi into a catastrophe, and even cut off the immortality; but merit protected him and helped him achieve the immortality.

So who is more important?

Naturally, it is a larger number of merits!

Because of the merits with a quantity of 4, the merits with a quantity of 3 are suppressed and cannot be used for the time being!So in the human civil war, that is, the battle for the deer, he successfully escaped the murder and was not involved.

But although the inherent existence of merit remains unchanged, in fact, among them, because of suppressing that karma, the merits with a quantity of 3 have already consumed their functions-the only one that can exert merit in the future is the remaining 1!

Naturally, the remaining 1 share of merit cannot suppress the 3 karma.Therefore, in the ensuing Battle of the Conferred Gods, Guang Chengzi could not sit high in the Yuxu Palace as a spectator, but was involved in it and fought hard to deal with the disaster.

Of course, under the protection of Yuanshi Tianzun, even though Guangchengzi was blocked by the Jiuqu Yellow River Formation and cut three flowers, he finally completed the catastrophe and was able to return to Yuxu Palace to clean up.And at this time, the karma with a quantity of 3 has already played a role, and now it is only the inherent existence of karma.So those who were suppressed and failed to play a role, the remaining 1 merit reappeared and protected Guang Chengzi.

This is how merit and karma interact with each other, check and balance each other, and influence the general trend of one person!
Equally typical, it is the Fu Jinxian Yun neutron who explained the teachings.

This celestial being with great merit suppressed his own karma by relying on his incomparable meritorious fortune. Although he survived the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods once, it was all a passing scene, let alone a disaster. Not even the slightest reduction in self-image!I don't know how many people are envious!But because of the consumption during the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods, although the inherent amount of merit remains unchanged, there are many fewer that can continue to play a role, so the next catastrophe, he will definitely have to fight hard!

Because of the effect of karma, and the relationship between it and merit, every monk, even those great powers, will work hard to accumulate merit and avoid karma, for fear that they will suddenly suffer disaster and turn into ashes!

On this point, Bai Ye did a great job!
"My current karma is 0! My merit is 60! As long as I can continue like this, I will never suffer catastrophe! Until the accumulation of merit is enough, I will directly achieve immortality, and even a high and noble position!"

After Bai Ye looked forward to his own future, he finally shifted his attention to the second link of the Heavenly Dao mission, which is the only one he can focus on now.

[Second link - powerful protection: If you want to survive in the prehistoric lich clan and many other forces, you must find a strong enough backer for the human race!The current degree of completion of this link: 10%]

Facing this task, Bai Ye took a deep breath with a solemn expression.

"There is nothing to say about this. I have completed all the preparations, as long as the time is up, the task will be completed!"

Thinking of what he had done, his expression was complicated.

"I just don't know how effective what I do will be, how much it can stimulate me!"
