Chapter 1951: Chapter 1278: Do Good Deeds Without Asking for Reward (Part 2)

This is the power of the Human Path, and also the power of all living beings. The power of a single ant is indeed small, but what about billions, trillions of ants?

Their combined strength forms the Human Path, which is also the means for the masses to restrain the strong. When a strong person gets angry, the sun and moon tremble, mountains and rivers shake, the sky collapses, and the earth crumbles, countless innocent living beings will suffer.

The weak masses, facing the high and mighty immortals and gods, have no power to resist. Therefore, the Human Path was born.

Its emergence makes the immortals and gods fear, causing the Great Divine Transcendents to be apprehensive, making them dare not act recklessly and slaughter the beings at will.

But this is not enough. Though the Human Path is strong, it acts solely on instinct, often overlooking many aspects.

Now, what Jiang Chen has to do is to utilize the power of Merit to manifest a portion of the Human Path’s power and put it under human control.

This way, the threat of the Human Path to the strong can further increase, making them not dare to harbor any luck.

Those who harness this part of the Human Path’s power are called Human Path Saints by Jiang Chen. But just being a Human Path Saint is not enough, so Jiang Chen wants to distribute this part of the power to those who pursue the Human Path.

Whoever pursues the Human Path and has the intention to protect all living beings can harness this portion of the Human Path’s power. The firmer the will, the more love for all beings, the stronger the Human Path power they can master.

In the end, they will become Human Path Saints!

Yes, all who chase the Human Path are candidates for Human Path Saints. Only those with the greatest achievements and firmest will can reach the end, becoming the biggest winner and seizing the position of Human Path Saint.

Shuah～～

At the moment when the brilliance of the Human Path radiated, a hint of purple light flashed and disappeared, merging with the group of Human Path brilliance and completely vanishing.

Purple Qi of Hongmeng!

The ninth Purple Qi of Hongmeng!

That is to say, with the integration of this Purple Qi of Hongmeng, the shining Human Path brilliance, the product of the manifestation of Human Path power, has undergone a transformation, becoming the Dao Fruit of Human Path Saints.

By mastering it, one can become the first Human Path Saint in the Prehistoric World.

“I hereby make a vow, everyone who takes living beings as the foundation, does good to others, resists when seeing oppression, scolds when seeing injustice, draws a sword when seeing unfairness, stops when seeing slaughter…”

“Can all be favored by the Human Path, master the power of the Human Path, the higher the merit, the stronger the power, immortals, Dao Monarchs, Taoist Masters, Saints…”

“Due to my vow, all resultant karmas are imposed upon me, not involving others in the slightest.”

“Let all beings hear my vow, do good deeds, ask not of cause and effect!”

Jiang Chen’s grand voice suddenly resonated between Heaven and Earth, reverberating in the ears of all mortals.

He is guiding people towards benevolence!

And as his voice fell, with every word he uttered, part of the Merit above his head would diminish until all this endless merit disappeared, and only then did Jiang Chen’s voice cease.

Guiding people towards benevolence is good for living beings. But to Heaven and Earth, it is of indifferent attitude. Whether a person is good or bad, the Heavenly Dao views all equally as ants.

Mortals doing evil, cultivators doing evil, it is the most heinous crime, at most, can only alarm the Heaven Court and Underworld, not at all alarming the Heavenly Dao.

Because in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, the difference between good people and bad people is not whether you did good deeds, but whether you have destroyed Heaven and Earth.

No matter how wicked you are, no matter how many you kill, as long as your deeds benefit the Chaos World, then in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, you are a great good person, and not only will you not be punished by the Heavenly Dao, but you will also receive the reward of Profound Yellow Merit.

On the contrary, as long as your actions destroy the Chaos World, then in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, even if you do ten good deeds a day, you are still a person of heinous crime, not only will you not have merit, but you will also suffer heavenly retribution.

In such an environment, doing good to others will not bring merit, and even saving people won’t accrue merit, but instead will taint oneself with karma and cause.

As such, there are very few immortals who save mortals, and those few immortals who are willing to save mortals often don’t end up well, this is the cost of being entangled with karma.

Of course, this is for the immortals and gods.

For mortals, there is another set of rules.

Regarding mortals, there’s a concept of hidden virtue. Doing good in life can accumulate hidden virtue to exchange for a better life in the next incarnation.

However, there is a problem here, which is that hidden virtue can only be used after death and is of little use while alive. Those who are meant to suffer will still suffer. Those who are meant to be unlucky will still be unlucky.

Moreover, hidden virtue is a compassionate creation by Mother Earth, designed to guide people towards goodness, and has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao.

This means that hidden virtue is issued by the Earthly Dao, which although effective, is far less significant than Profound Yellow Merit.

Hidden virtue, akin to Earthly Dao merit, is similar to Human Path merit, like incense willpower, has effects, but is not as significant as Profound Yellow Merit.

Mortals doing good, can obtain Earthly Path merit, can obtain Human Path merit, but these two kinds of merits only exert their effect after death.

Far less than Profound Yellow Merit, which once acquired, immediately exerts its effect, and the effect is extremely obvious.

This difference leads to the world’s lack of enthusiasm for accumulating Human Path merit and Earthly Path merit. After all, who can say for sure about the matters after death?

Jiang Chen’s grand vow was issued based on this point, if doing good to others doesn’t earn merit from the Heavenly Dao, then let me do it!

Anyway, I have plenty of Merit, endless, unable to use it all up.

Therefore, as long as someone is willing to do good deeds, aside from Human Path merit and Earthly Path merit, Jiang Chen will also give them a share of Profound Yellow Merit.

Humans are creatures of interest, as long as they see benefits, they exhibit more enthusiasm than anyone else.

Even the most irredeemable scoundrel, upon seeing the effects of Profound Yellow Merit, would immediately change attitude and become a great person praised by all.

With benefits, living beings are motivated to do good deeds. Naturally, more people will be willing to do good deeds and be good persons, hence the order between Heaven and Earth will become more stable.

Tempting with benefits has the most conspicuous effect. As time passes, this behavior will gradually evolve into a habit, making doing good deeds go from being active to being instinctual.

In this way, the world where everyone is like a dragon is not far off. The saying “a noble man is like a dragon, everyone is like a dragon” refers to everyone having noble virtue like a gentleman.

Besides, Jiang Chen saying that all karmas imposed on himself is also very important. If Profound Yellow Merit is for the benefit of all beings, then this statement solves the worries of cultivators.

Cultivators dare not save people at will because saving people results in karma and karmic ties, affecting one’s practice. While saving people is important, one’s cultivation is more important.

Therefore, unless a cultivator plans to follow the incense route to divinity, few will save people. It’s not that they don’t want to save, but the karma is too daunting.

Their actions are understandable.

Without losing their own benefits, many people are willing to be happy to help others. On the contrary, if it means losing their own benefits, they would weigh their options before doing good deeds.

Knowing what they fear, Jiang Chen generously stated, you are free to do so, and all resultant karmas and karmic ties are accounted to me.

Only Jiang Chen dares to say such words, for he truly does not fear karma and karmic ties. Because karma and karmic ties are essentially part of Reincarnation.

The more karma and karmic ties on his body, the greater the benefits Jiang Chen will obtain after swallowing them all.

Others fear karma, but Jiang Chen, as the Demon God of Reincarnation, desires it greatly.

If all of the Prehistoric World’s karma is placed on him, his cultivation speed would be at least thousands of times faster.

…

“Your Majesty is merciful!”

The crowd, after hearing Jiang Chen’s grand vow, were stunned for a moment, then expressed their heartfelt admiration.

They did not expect that Jiang Chen would use such a method to deal with the endless Merit aura on him. At the same time, they also did not anticipate that a Saint could be selected in such a way.

Jiang Chen’s grand vow nearly explicitly stated that by doing good deeds to the end, one could become a Saint.
