"First, consider the enemies. Think about any grudges you haven't avenged, or any forces still on the hostile list."
After all, Li Xingkong's ascension to immortality would benefit both Li Xingkong and the system, and the cause and effect must be sorted out.
"Among my enemies... those I've had conflicts with, are any of them still alive today?"
Li Xingkong his head and fell into deep thought.
"I was just saying, even a feud spanning ten generations can be avenged. Who cares if he's still alive? If you feel the revenge isn't complete, then let's make a plan."
"That's true... Let me think... Starting from the closest to the furthest, first we have to talk about that guy from the Holy Church of Truth. Although the Three Demons who made the move have been brought to justice, they were still part of that old guy, so he should have to pay the price."
"Speaking of which, can national and personal grievances be considered personal karma?"
"Of course it counts! How could it not? You've joined an organization, which means you endorse its ideals. It's understandable that you can't fully empathize with what happened before, but how can something you've personally experienced not count?"
The system, following the example of Xiao Chongshan, conjured a ball of light and began recording.
"That's true. Going back further, I remember that guy from the Sihali Kingdom was completely wiped out by me, his army was scattered. That should be enough for me."
"Hmm, if that's not enough, then I suggest you go back to that point in time and kill him a few more times."
"Am I such a petty person? Okay, next one, next one."
"Hmm, further ahead are the Snail People. I feel like these guys have learned their lesson by now. They've lost a habitable star system and lost the inhabitants of several planets. That should be enough for them."
"I don't think that will work. Have you forgotten about the final galactic bomb? Even if those people didn't die at your hands, they would have been killed by that galactic bomb. Besides, the leadership of the Snail People are all Intelligent Brain. You only destroyed one; the rest of the Intelligent Brain are still at large."
"That's true, then let's dismantle a few more Intelligent Brain."
Li Xingkong also agreed.
"Further back, on Earth Star... it seems there weren't as many grudges. After all, with the popularization of cultivation, those people Li Xingkong suffered setbacks with on Earth Star might have been wiped out entirely by now."
"Hey, that's true, that's how short-lived species are. Well, I won't record it for you then; these guys are probably history by now."
"OK, let's end this feud here!"
Come to think of it, there really aren't many; all these people combined wouldn't even make up a single page of Xiao Chongshan.
"Laughable! You're always in seclusion cultivating, never going out for a stroll. What grudge could you possibly have?"
The system finished manipulating the ball of light in its hand and laughed.
People who don't cause trouble have less trouble.
"Then comes gratitude..."
"First and foremost, there's Huan, the will of the Primordial Universe. Although she signed an agreement with you requiring you to return all the substances you consumed during your cultivation, strictly speaking, given that the Primordial Universe is your birthplace, this amount of reward is probably far from sufficient."
"That's true. Huan is a kind-hearted guy. Bring her some gifts when you go back."
Li Xingkong had already chosen a gift. The reason why Huan's Primordial Universe lacked Spiritual Qi was because she had missed many classes. Since that was the case, Li Xingkong found a relevant course at the Jade Void Palace and planned to find an opportunity to give it to her.
How can this not be considered a gift? It makes you stronger after watching it; it's a great thing.
"Then, strictly speaking, the Kilometer Arc has been helpful to my cultivation. After all, I've browsed through their database and gained quite a bit from it. Besides, the Grand Elder of the Arc is quite kind, isn't he?"
"Indeed, apart from the Jade Void Palace, there are very few civilizations that can unconditionally provide you with a knowledge base like it."
"Yes, you mentioned it. The Jade Void Palace and the help you've given me have been immense. What should we do about this?"
"Tsk, you're right. I'll let it go, since your cultivation will benefit me too. We share the same fate. But the Jade Void Palace... the favors owed to the Jade Void Palace are indeed immense. With your current cultivation level, the only way to repay the debts owed to the Jade Void Palace is through time."
"Treat yourself like a brick; be ready to be moved wherever needed."
"I wonder how others handled their relationship with the Jade Void Palace when they became immortals?"
When it comes to other things, Li Xingkong always finds a way to repay them, but when it comes to the Jade Void Palace, Li Xingkong is truly powerless.
There are countless Nascent Soul cultivators like him in the Jade Void Palace. Such a Nascent Soul naturally doesn't need a mere Nascent Soul to exert any effort. However, the support provided by the Jade Void Palace has truly changed Li Xingkong's life. As the saying goes, education changes lives, and this is the most accurate description of Li Xingkong's situation.
"If you can give back to the Jade Void Palace with any achievements you make in your future cultivation, that will be enough."
The system, after all, is not an immortal, and it has not seen many immortals. Therefore, it truly cannot answer this question.
"Alright, besides Jade Void Palace, there's also Wan Chongshan... I can't forget to repay Senior Wan's kindness in helping me."
Since we've already mentioned Jade Void Palace, we can't forget another character.
"I must say, you've had many benefactors along your journey of cultivation."
The system recorded each one individually, and Li Xingkong checked them one by one from the back to the front, all the way back to the time of his birth.
I certainly enjoyed a lot of favors, both big and small, and I've made countless detailed records of them.
"I think that's about right..."
After checking everything, Li Xingkong looked at the numerous examples, both large and small, and realized he was starting to run into some trouble.
"Don't forget, this is only because others have been kind to you and you helped them out; you still need to ask for something in return."
"No, is that appropriate? Am I supposed to go after them and demand compensation for my good deed? What kind of person would I be?"
"Of course, I don't mean you have to ask for it directly. Only a fool would do that. Most of the time, what you need to do is meet with the people you've helped, because they received your help, and their civilization and power have developed to where they are today. The cause and effect of this is inseparable from you."
"Alright, alright, we still have to go back..."
"Let me think, who could it be..."
" Shengxin and Ajieta, no doubt about it, you definitely have to go see them. Then there's Albert and the others; even though you were cleaning up after Guapilong, you still helped them a lot, so you should go check on them too."
"As for other things, I remember when you advanced to the Golden Core Perfection stage, didn't it affect the development of civilizations in several star systems? You should make amends for that..."
One person, one system, spent a long time carefully analyzing Li Xingkong's memories, listing all the people Li Xingkong had helped, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
His initial intention was to help without expecting anything in return, but now he has to settle the karmic debt once again, and Li Xingkong feels a strange sense of guilt.
