Chapter 557 The Incarnations' Mission (III)
Wang Wei looked at the Karma Incarnation, who now had yellow hair.
"So, how is it?" he asked.
"Why don't you see for yourself," replied the incarnation, and Wang Wei looked at this Great Thousand World. He saw Karma Threads connecting to the incarnations, and they were so many of them.
He could see that the incarnation was now connected to every single individual of this world, every single object, and even every single atom. Wang Wei looked at an ant a few hundred thousand light years away, and he could see the incarnation had some connection to it.
"Is this your answer?" he asked.
"Yes," replied the incarnation. "My entire life was boggled down by karma. I could not even breathe the air without owing Heaven and Earth some karma. I tried isolating myself from the world to cultivate in peace, but the debts I owed would eventually catch up to me.
"I tried repaying my Karmic Debts, but more kept piling on my head. No matter how carefully I tried to act or how many calculations I made to avoid Karma, it was impossible for me to escape."
The incarnation paused as he reminisced. Every step he took felt like he was in quicksand, unable to move and slowly drawing: it was truly a nightmare since he never knew a single moment of peace.
"I tried to transcend Karma, to become free from its restrictions. But I failed."
"So, you choose to fuse with it?" asked Wang Wei.
"Yes. I became the embodiment of Karma itself in this world: the origin of all karma. And to my surprise, I've achieved the transcendence I desire."
"It does make sense. As the source of Karma, it's normal to be no longer affected by it. So, how did you bear such a heavy burden?"
Wang Wei did not think it would be easy for the incarnation to fuse with all Karma of the world and bear it without some backless or negative consequence to his body and soul.
The incarnation smiled before waving his hand to manifest a yellow river made of threads.
"You made a River of Karma?"
"Yes. While cultivating the Dao of Karma, I discovered the River of Fate. So, I thought of replicating it with the power of Karma."
Wang Wei's eyes lit up after seeing the river, thinking of the many benefits. He could sublimate his Karma Unbound Physique with this river and no longer worry about karma ever affecting him after proving the Dao.
Although Immortal Tier powerhouse has high resistance to Karmic Restraint, it is not entirely gone. The sad truth is even Paragons cannot completely ignore karma.
However, Wang Wei has a high chance of reaching such a state; this will be a significant step in his goal of achieving freedom.
"I'm sure you can understand the significance of this river to us, but I will tell you a few more abilities."
The incarnation waved his hand, and a drop of water came from the river.
"Karmic Washing Water," said Wang Wei.
"Yes. You can easily create an ocean and leave it to the sect. In the future, they won't worry about washing karma and needing help to compete for the next generation's [Heaven Will]."
Then, the incarnation pointed to another thread in the river.
"The River of Karma is connected to all Karma, past, present, and future. So, you could do this."
He took one string and manipulated it, and Wang Wei squinted his eyes when he saw what had happened.
About 2 million years ago, in this Great Thousand World, a spiritual herb called Human Mushroom went extinct. As the incarnation manipulated the thread, Wang Wei saw a scene 2 million years ago.
A young hunter found this mushroom and took it for dinner. According to normal history, this farmer should have eaten the last Human Mushroom in existence, making this spiritual herb extinct.
But, now, something had changed. On his way home, he met a dying cultivator who gave him his inheritance. Through this inheritance, the hunter learned of the value of this spiritual herb and began to plant it.
Eventually, he created a small secret realm where he stored the mushroom, and this secret realm lasted until this day as the incarnation manipulated events to ensure this. Wang Wei waved his hand to teleport the secret realm to their location.
"The Human Mushroom is an excellent herb to open Acupoints."
As Wang Wei looked at the mushroom with a human shape in his hand, his eyes could not help but shine. This method will help him deal with one of his biggest worries: the resources for his True Power Dao cultivation.
And considering how long the Myriad Emperor World has existed and the lost resources throughout the ages, this technique is simply heaven-defying.
"I have to say; you gave me one of the biggest surprises so far. Is there any restriction to this method?"
"Anything related to the manipulation of time will have restrictions. What I've discovered is that there is no problem as long as you do not try to manipulate impactful events or drastically change people's fate, there is no problem."
"So, focus more on using this technique to gather resources without affecting the overall timeline?" summarized Wang Wei.
"Basically."
"That's good. Since nothing is wrong with you, I'll check on the others."
Wang Wei then went on to check on the Samsara Incarnation. The latter sat on a throne, and the environment was frigid and eerie. After arriving, Wang Wei could see many souls coming and leaving, along with many demon-looing creatures controlling and ensuring the place's safety.
"No problem?"
"Oddly, no. I successfully established a separate Samsara for this Great Thousand World, and there were no problems. However, it might not be the same if you do it back home."
Wang Wei frowned. Before he became powerful, he thought each world had a separate Samsara, and it was a physical location similar to a Small World that he could travel to. However, as he became more powerful, he knew that the Endless Void had one Samsara for all the World Communities.
He tried to learn the secrets of Samsara but had no success. But, he did conclude some things based on the information he had. For example, why did Di Tian only reincarnate into the Myriad Emperor World?
He theorized that it was either Heavenly Dao's doing or each World Community had its own division. Wang Wei closed his eyes to access the knowledge the incarnation had.
His theory was partially correct: there are separate divisions based on a soul's place of origin. But it is also possible to be reborn in another division–albeit rare, but possible.
"Your method was ingenious," he commented. The incarnation did not forcibly establish a Netherworld. Instead, he asked to create a branch in this world from the main branch.
And True Heavenly Dao was more than happy to give him some power and reduce the burden on itself–as long as the incarnation was willing to follow some strict rules. It even gave him a lot of merit for his actions.
"With this method, many of our plans are guaranteed to become a success. And we might not need to refine the Nine Devil God Worlds. The only thing we have to worry about is Old Man Nether," said the incarnation. He had many new plans after his recent success; he had greater ambitions after seeing how handsomely True Heavenly Dao rewarded him for his actions.
Wu Hong told him about Old Man Nether from the Nether Hell; this was a person obsessed with controlling the Samsara of the Lower Dimension, and for countless eras, he has been slowly stealing its power.
Therefore, he knew this person would stop him from establishing a Netherworld in the Myriad Emperor World. And if he were to learn of the method this incarnation used, he would definitely try to replicate it.
"The Nine Devil God World is still needed, just not as important as we previously thought. As for Old Man Nether? We will deal with him after we prove the Dao," replied Wang Wei. From what he knew, Old Man Nether was the only Empyrean in the Lower Dimension. Many people have wondered he managed to stay there without any repercussions.
However, Wang Wei is not that scared of him. He believed once he found a way to reach the Ten Extremity Foundation, after becoming an Eternal Emperor, he might have the battle prowess of an Empyrean (70% Grand Dao Source). And even if he does not, he will be closed and will not need much time to reach that battle strength.
"Make sure to remove all your tracks before the fusion," said Wang Wei. He did not want to get Old Man Nether's attention more than he already did. Then, he went to see the Destiny Incarnation.
He found the latter reading intently before a large book titled [Book of Destiny]. Wang Wei called him, but the latter was distracted, so he had to push him before waking up from his deep concentration.
"Oh, you're here."
"You should be more careful."
"I've placed a formation in the surrounding, and only you can enter."
"You should still be careful since this world is not absolute."
"You're right. It's just I've been a little fascinated by our little experiment."
"Oh, did you discover something?"
"Maybe."
