Taming beasts and tending gardens, life and life, producers and consumers—all together formed the cycle of life.
But that alone was still not enough.
"With life, there should naturally be death. And when life dies, it does not vanish completely—it merely enters another cycle."
Life Points belonged to the living, while the Black Holy Grail's Water of Life was used to recycle the dead. What Big Cat had given Lu PingAn was not merely the opposition between "energy producers" and "energy consumers," but also a cycle between "those who sustain life" and "inorganic matter in the environment."

Including casually bestowing Divine Grace.
"Don't throw that card away. It can save your life."
