Several dozen yuanhui ago, they had connected the restored Earth Veins of the Western Continent into a cyclical Earth Vein Network and established the Heaven-Earth Origin-Returning Formation... earning an immense amount of Merit.

But like Fortune, one could never have too much Merit!

Moreover, although Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, Yuan Ling, Nuwa, and Fuxi had obtained quite a bit of Merit—enough in total for one or two people to attain the Dao—once it was divided among the six of them, and even further divided among their Three Corpse Dao Bodies, it was no longer so abundant.
