If someone opposing Lin Tian had a Merit Golden Wheel less brilliant than his, then justice was surely on Lin Tian's side.
Everyone had both merit and karmic force, which was why treasures that granted cause-and-effect immunity when killing were so valuable.
Only after karmic force had been cleared away could one accumulate merit, and only when that merit reached a certain height would a Merit Golden Wheel appear.
Merit did not come from doing good deeds, but from making contributions to the Heavenly Dao.
Killing indiscriminately brought karmic force upon oneself, but doing good deeds did not bring merit.
Yet clearing away karmic force required merit. Merit was a reward from the Heavenly Dao, arguably the most mysterious thing in the Three Realms.
Whether using merit for corpse-slaying or to leap straight from a mortal to the peak of Great Encompassing Golden Immortal, the process was perfectly reliable. There was no risk of an unstable cultivation realm, and merit even came with insights into the Heavenly Dao.
Thus, when merit raised one's cultivation realm, one's insights into the Heavenly Dao and cultivation of the state of mind rose alongside it.

Bai Suzhen said excitedly, "Little Brother Little Red, thank goodness you're all right!"
Nuwa clenched her little fists and said, "Little Brother Little Red, I knew you could do it! You were bound to give those
