They Were Born to Kill and Defy Heaven-How Could They Accumulate Merit?

Long Zang knew.

That was, of course, why he hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity to wipe out the Ferocious Beast Clan.

To anyone else, it was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity—the perfect chance to eliminate the threat once and for all.

But in Long Zang's eyes, Shen Ni's existence was more valuable than the destruction of the Ferocious Beast Clan.

He knew that the Sages would appear one by one in the future. No matter how powerful he became, he still couldn't face six Sages alone.

Without enough allies, he would sooner or later find himself isolated and helpless.

Ancestor Dragon and First Kirin each had their own schemes. Though Yuan Huang was his Dao companion, she still bore the weight of her clan.

Only Shen Ni had the potential to become his true ally.

So leaving the Ferocious Beast Clan a sliver of hope was part of Long Zang's advance planning—a seed planted in preparation for the tribulations to come.

The balance of power in the Primordial World had now been completely altered by Long Zang's interference.

The Ferocious Beasts kept to the Western Region, the Phoenixes held fast to the Southern Region, the Dragon Clan slumbered in the Infinite Sea Domain, and the Qilin suppressed the Central Great Domain.

If the Demon Clan rose in the north in the future, the Primordial World's five regions would form a balance of power.

Then, the living beings of the Primordial World would no longer need to fight among themselves. They could turn their attention to the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, making the endless outer domains their battlefield.

That was the kind of Primordial World Long Zang wanted to see... one that fought outward instead of wasting its strength on internal strife, where the various clans coexisted instead of slaughtering one another.

It was a calculated move, but also a helpless one.

If the Primordial World continued along its original course, it would only repeat the same fate of destruction.

Long Zang murmured under his breath, "I don't want to be a Sage's pawn again."

He had no primordial spirit and couldn't deduce cause and effect, but his instincts were more reliable than any scheme.

He knew that without making arrangements in advance, the Witch Clan would still meet the same tragic end as in his previous life.

Just then, a mechanical notification rang in his mind:

[ Ding: You have received feedback from the Super Seminary World Will: a wisp of World Origin! ]

[ Ding: As the Group Leader, your wisp of World Origin has been amplified ten thousandfold. You have obtained: World Seed! ]

Long Zang paused, raising an eyebrow.

"Feedback from a World Will?"

Only after examining it carefully did he understand what had happened.

Keisha had spread his cultivation method throughout the Super Seminary World and combined it with Genetic Technology, deriving an entirely new path.

This path had greatly increased the Super Seminary World's potential for development, so its World Will had taken the initiative to reward him with a wisp of its Origin.

And thanks to the Group Leader Privilege, that wisp had been amplified ten thousandfold, turning into a dazzling... World Seed.

Long Zang held the seed in his palm and gazed at it for a long while.

Chaos-colored light flowed across its surface, while within it, the embryonic form of a complete world was taking shape.

It was a true "seed." If nurtured over time, it would eventually become an independent, real world.

"A rare treasure indeed," Long Zang murmured.

He could open up a Small World himself, but there was a fundamental difference between that and a World Seed.

Though the worlds he created could be vast, they were like lifeless objects... without the potential to evolve or the possibility of growth, like nothing more than enlarged storage rings.

The World Seed was different. It was truly alive. It would evolve on its own and grow, perhaps even giving rise to new civilizations and living beings!

The corners of Long Zang's mouth lifted slightly, a glint flashing in his eyes.

This was more precious than any spiritual treasure.

After all, no matter how powerful a spiritual treasure was, it was still an external possession. A complete world, on the other hand, represented a foundation and a future.

He pondered to himself:

"How should I make use of it? That's the key."

Should he nurture it himself and raise it into a world of his own?

Or should he keep it as a trump card, to turn the tide when he faced the Sages in the future?

He hadn't decided yet.

But one thing was certain...

The World Seed wasn't something to be used casually.

Its significance reached far beyond the present and was tied to the overall situation in the future!

Long Zang's gaze crossed the heavens, settling on the Super Seminary World.

He could clearly sense Keisha's karmic aura, so even across countless layers of space-time, he could easily find that world.

His lips curled slightly. "Interesting."

The Super Seminary World had originally been a purely technological civilization.

The Angels, Lieyang, and the other clans all followed the path of genetic evolution, constantly modifying themselves until their genes reached their limits and they could ascend to godhood.

But now, with Long Zang's cultivation method influencing the world, Keisha had opened up an entirely new path.

She had combined the cultivation method with the Female Angels' genes, forcibly creating a system unique to them.

At its core, this choice reflected Keisha's stubbornness... she didn't trust male Angels and only passed the cultivation method on to the female members of her clan.

Long Zang smiled to himself. In his eyes, this path might not be perfect, but it was at least unconventional—a promising experiment.

But to an existence at his level, cultivation methods and systems were no longer important.

What he truly valued was his own understanding of the Great Dao and his ability to break through.

Cultivation methods were merely auxiliary to him. What determined everything was still the heart and strength to stand against the Heavenly Dao.

After closing the group chat, Long Zang returned to the Primordial World.

On Emperor Venerable Island, the Three Divine Lights interwove. Creation, Eternity, and Origin swirled around the entire immortal island.

Long Zang sat within them, his body like a black hole, constantly devouring all things under Heaven and Earth.

Before long, he fell into a deep sleep, a premonition rising in his heart:

By the time he woke again, his body and cultivation would undergo a transformation unlike any before.

This intuition had never been false. Each premonition in his heart signaled a new breakthrough.

Time flowed on, and a million years passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the Primordial World experienced a rare spell of peace.

There was no slaughter amid an Immeasurable Calamity, no clashes between Supreme Experts, and all the clans were building up their strength.

For the Primordial World, this was actually abnormal.

Everyone knew that the Primordial World's norm was never peace, but Immeasurable Calamities and strife.

This so-called tranquility was merely the calm before the storm.

Meanwhile, at the Fierce Beast Ancestral Court.

Shen Ni sat alone on the throne, his gaze heavy.

He knew that the Ferocious Beast Clan stood at the edge of its greatest crisis.

Though they had withdrawn from the stage of the Primordial World, the blood debts they had incurred in the past wouldn't simply disappear.

In the Primordial World, cause and effect, as well as Karma, were real.

Other worlds might not be bound by such laws, but here, every sin you committed would follow you like a shadow.

At that moment, Karma had already begun to retaliate against the Ferocious Beast Clan.

Over the past million years, few of their kind had been born, and their rate of reproduction had almost ground to a halt.

Their cultivation had barely advanced, and quite a few mighty experts had even come close to losing control of their minds under the erosion of Karma.

This backlash not only strangled their future but also drained away their vitality.

In other words... the Ferocious Beast Clan had already been pushed onto the path to extinction.

Shen Ni stared at the empty Royal Court, a powerful sense of urgency welling up inside him.

If things continued this way, they would eventually become utterly helpless, reduced to targets for the other clans' revenge.

Would the clans once oppressed by the Ferocious Beasts tolerate their continued existence?

Absolutely not.

Once the opportunity arose, they would surely join forces to attack.

Shen Ni silently considered ways to break the impasse. In the end, only two answers remained:

One was Merit, the other was death.

Merit could counteract cause and effect and Karma, resolving the consequences of slaughter. It was like a cure-all.

Death meant complete release. Once one's body and Dao were destroyed, all cause and effect and Karma would cease to exist.

The problem was, how could they obtain Merit?

For the Ferocious Beast Clan, this was almost an impossible problem to solve.

They were born to kill and defy Heaven—how could they possibly accumulate Merit?
