I am the one running the game

Chapter 460: Jiexian, the new generation of immortals and gods in the five turbidities and evil times
"This is the first time I've seen someone with such a wide range of uses... an immortal." Lu Xingshi looked at the dissected Yuan Lei Tianzun.

The other party is of great value, whether in the entire immortal system or in the research on the five turbidities and evil world.

As for Shinto, let’s not talk about it. Yuan Lei Tianzun only regards it as a supplement. If you want to study Shinto, you still have to be ruthless to Yin Yang Emperor.

"Besides the three types of immortals, namely, celestial immortals, earthly immortals, and corpse-transmigrating immortals, the current immortal gods should be called calamity immortals."

This does not mean robbery, but disaster.

Today's gods and immortals are not actually fallen from evil. Rather, they are transformed species, from the original immortals into activated karma, which is further aggregated into disasters.

Although they retained their memories and thoughts, they were polluted by the environment and eventually became so strange in appearance and character.

It's roughly equivalent to throwing a colorful towel into a septic tank.

The towel has absorbed the smelly feces, but it is still a towel. The problem is that it has become a smelly towel.

The immortals and gods all have merits and virtues, and each of them can be called a human-shaped merit machine, but the environment has become a karmic environment and is eventually polluted.

For example, most people in the human race do not have that much merit, so the impact is not big, at most it just means that people’s hearts are not as good as before.

Demons, ghosts and evildoers are a different case, because they already have karma, and when they are in such a favorable situation, they mutate even faster.

"Imbalance creates the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds. However, imbalance is not the problem in essence. It depends on what is imbalanced."

“If the merit is greater than the karma, then it doesn’t matter if there is an imbalance, but if the karma is greater than the merit, then there will be a thunderbolt.”

“Doesn’t that mean that merit is actually an asset, and karma is a liability?”

Lu Xingshi increasingly felt that merit and karma seemed to be part of some kind of economic system.

"For example, the currency used to purchase the protagonist?" Lu Xingshi suddenly remembered that if he wanted to purchase the protagonist, he would definitely have to pay a price.

If we temporarily call the items that are paid out currency, then the only special currency that can be given out in this world seems to be merit.

You can’t use karma to consume.

Merit can be seen as currency because it has economic value, but karma is not a good thing at first glance. It is obviously a debt in nature, and no one would want it even if it can be consumed.

Selling goods not only brings no profit but also adds unnecessary debt to oneself. This kind of transaction will not be successful unless there is some other purpose.

"The Jiexian and the Shinto are the mainstream of the Xianxia world today."

As for the original three-immortal system, it has now died suddenly.

Moreover, the generation of immortals has been completely cut off, and becoming an immortal is tantamount to a dead end, so the only real system left is Shinto.

"How do I calculate my status as a Taoist immortal..." Lu Xingshi gained some understanding of himself as a Taoist immortal by dissecting Yuan Lei Tianzun.

First of all, his nature is more like a demon that has become a spirit.

In other words, he is not a real immortal, but a spirit that has transformed from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

As for my original self, I ascended into heaven through corpse transformation and metamorphosis.

Ascended to the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

Didn't he have a yin body and a yang body before? One of them was transformed into an immortal body, and the other was transformed into an immortal body. In the process of becoming an immortal, they were judged to be him.

The problem is that this yin-yang body is part of the Great Sage's body, and now it has become a Tao fruit.

This means that the spiritual roots of heaven and earth and the fruit of the Tao are him, and his human-like appearance is the result of the original clear and turbid energies, the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Evil.

As the immortal was practicing, he ended up going astray.

If he continues to point out the Tiangang Daoguo, then Lu Xingshi's painting style will rush all the way in some strange direction.

This is not something that can be explained clearly by a human being, but he doesn't even know what species he is.

In addition, there is the magical power of the Demon Saint. While he continues to devour the demons to strengthen himself, it is also affecting his own body.

With the Tiangang and Disha plus the magical power of the demon saint, Lu Xingshi didn't know what he would become next.

"Luckily it's just a small account, otherwise I would have become an alien... Oh, I seem to be able to fit in better with this world."

Lu Xingshi glanced at Yuan Lei Tianzun, a man with a snake head. In this evil world, only those who look like human beings are considered abnormal. Lu Xingshi's development, which does not conform to human aesthetics at all, is a normal evolution.

"The Jiexian and I, the Daoguoxian, have a lot in common. If we combine them, will I... become something indescribable?"

Lu Xingshi had no intention of escaping at all, but instead was preparing to change another path.

Normal immortals with merit have already declined. Not to mention other things, the total amount of merit is simply not as much as karma.

If Lu Xingshi really wanted to rely on merit to make the Fusang tree produce thirty-six Tiangang Dao fruits, it would not be enough even if he mapped the entire fairy world.

As for the Shinto project and the salvation mission, the bulk of the former has been taken up by Xu Yi, and Lu Xingshi will not get any benefits even if he intervenes.

The latter does not necessarily have to resolve the five turbidities and evil times, but can also consume them as their own merit.

The root of the Tribulation Immortals is the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds. Since Lu Xingshi intends to start with karma, he will definitely not let go of the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds.

What's more important is the issue of proportion.

He used gold coins to modify merits, and the ratio was 10,000 to 1, but when modifying karma, the ratio was different. The ratio of modifying karma to gold coins was 1 to 1, which meant that one gold coin could be exchanged for a little karma.

However, if you want to reduce the karma value, the consumption ratio is the same as merit. It takes 10,000 gold coins to reduce the karma value a little.

But if karma can be used as the resources to give birth to Tiangang Dao Fruit, Lu Xingshi will make a fortune.

However, it is not so easy to accomplish. First of all, the nature of karmic debt must be reversed, otherwise one will regress instead of make progress.

The Jiexian has this characteristic.

They do not have any merits, but instead have enormous karma, and the influence of karma has been suppressed to the limit.

Originally, abilities such as killing disasters and reducing luck were completely ineffective for the Tribulation Immortal.

But after being contaminated by the five turbidities and evil world, it doesn’t really matter whether there are side effects of karma. Everyone is greedy and selfish. One or two are okay, but when a large group of immortals with this kind of personalities get together, it’s okay for them to intrigue against each other.

However, this is not the case with Lu Xingshi. He has merits and virtues, and once karma is added to him, it will directly reduce the merits and virtues that he has worked so hard to obtain.

He doesn't care about merit, because merit can basically be said to have depreciated to the extreme.

The loss of it would not affect the Earthly Evil Dao Fruit that he had originally cultivated. However, he was not a Tribulation Immortal. Without merits, he still had karma on him, so it was normal for him to have bad luck.

How important is luck? He knows it. If his luck is bad, at best he will suffer all kinds of misfortunes, and at worst his experiments will fail.

Lu Xingshi is not worried about the danger to his life. With his current strength, luck has no influence on this aspect.

The fortune formed by merit is actually far inferior to the fortune in the world of martial arts.

Especially now that its merits are declining.

"You...what did you do to me?" Yuan Lei Tianzun woke up vaguely and saw that he had been ripped open by Lu Xingshi, and Lu Xingshi was still groping around inside his body.

"An immortal is an immortal. He is indeed different. He has developed resistance to anesthetics so quickly."

"He woke up half an hour earlier than I expected." Lu Xingshi said as he took out another dose of anesthetic and injected it into Yuan Lei Tianzun.

"You!!!" Yuan Lei Tianzun opened his mouth to say something, but was covered by Lu Xingshi's hand.

"Come on, count to five with me, one, two, three..."

Just after counting to three seconds, Yuan Lei Tianzun fainted again.

"This resistance is indeed strong. He fell asleep when I said one before, and now he can get three." Lu Xingshi muttered.

"The immortals do have the ability to rapidly evolve in terms of environmental adaptation."

"It is probably because of this that all immortals and gods can smoothly transform from merit immortals to calamity immortals."

“Even they themselves don’t know they have this ability.”

Becoming an immortal is an evolution, and the process of evolution is very complete and perfect, and it also enhances one's own evolutionary and adaptable capabilities.

Lu Xingshi doesn’t know where the source of this adaptive evolution comes from for the time being, but it is most likely not natural biological evolution, but rather a grant from the immortal system. For example, this ability will be generated when the spiritual roots are stimulated.

Those who have not practiced Taoism are not activated. Those who practice Taoism are initially activated. After the immortal spirit has undergone the great evolution into an immortal, it is fully activated.

Therefore, ordinary people are least affected by the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds. Even though people’s hearts are no longer as pure as before and the world is deteriorating, there is no alienation in the soul and body at all.

It’s not like the immortals, gods, and ascetics have undergone such great changes.

"At first glance, it seems that a group of species with the ability to adapt and evolve encountered radiation, and in the process of self-rescue, they turned into this in order to save their lives."

After Lu Xingshi summarized it, he sewed up Yuan Lei Tianzun very considerately.

The regenerative and self-healing abilities granted by its powerful strength recover quickly.

"Then the next step is to make the best use of it."

A demonic figure emerged and swallowed Yuan Lei Tianzun in one gulp.

At the moment of death, a large amount of merits were credited to his account. Lu Xingshi took a look and saw that there were 12 million merits.

It is indeed a lot, but it is not even enough for one tenth of the merit required for the Tiangang Dao Fruit.

"Hey, what's going on?" Lu Xingshi discovered that after Yuan Lei Tianzun died, a true spirit rushed out of the demon shadow and headed towards a certain location.

He was immediately stopped by Lu Xingshi.

"This... seems to be the divine calamity?" Lu Xingshi thought that Yuan Lei Tianzun was not dead. In fact, he was not dead. It was just not because of him, but because the divine calamity that was fighting against the five turbidities and evil world actually took away a wisp of Yuan Lei Tianzun's true spirit.

"The catastrophe has a source, it can't be Xu Yi."

Lu Xingshi really couldn't find the second target, mainly because Xu Yi, the time traveler with the system, was the most suspicious.

"Intercept it first and use it to test next time." Lu Xingshi suppressed the true spirit of Yuan Lei Tianzun and threw it into a space opened up by Hu Tian.

When I meet the Yin-Yang Emperor, I will release it like this again. If the real spirit rushes towards him, then it will be confirmed.

If not, then follow the true spirit to see where it is flying to. There is no rush now.
