Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

After collecting all the blood of the annihilated Rakshasa clan members, Zhao Shuang's merit points skyrocketed to over 100,000.

While Zhao Shuang was somewhat indifferent to the surge in merit points, he understood it was part of saving the Guanghan Realm, so he didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, he continued to annihilate the Rakshasa race in this world. The Rakshasa race was one of the ten races of the Hell Realm, and one of the more powerful among the three lower races. These three lower races belonged to the living race, not the undead race, among the ten races of the Hell Realm. There was a conflict between the living and the undead in the Hell Realm, a stalemate where neither side respected the other and both wanted to kill the other. However, because they both originated from the Hell Realm, they were able to coexist for the time being.

But all of this is because of the supreme clan, the Yama clan. Whether the Yama clan is a living clan or a dead clan is really uncertain. Some say they are living, some say they are dead. In short, no one knows. In any case, the birth of the Yama clan is very peculiar.

This has little to do with Zhao Shuang, since his relationship with the Yama clan wasn't particularly good either, as he had beaten up the clan leader and several of their war gods. In his previous life, he practically destroyed the Yama clan. Even the Yama clan possessed several of his divine artifacts.

This was given to the Yama Clan before reincarnation, because reincarnation required their help. It was only because he almost destroyed the Yama Clan that they agreed to help; otherwise, getting their assistance would have been impossible. The Yama Clan controls the power of reincarnation, though it's unclear how they do so; otherwise, Zhao Shuang wouldn't need their help. And what Zhao Shuang needs to utilize is precisely the power of reincarnation.

He is one of the few people who can control the power of reincarnation, but his power has not yet recovered. He is mainly constrained by his bloodline. Although his bloodline has not brought him any benefits, it has also bound him.

The curse in his bloodline made it difficult for him to break through to the realm of gods, which was a major headache for Zhao Shuang. This was also the reason he was being tricked by the old bald monk and their Zhang family ancestor. Both the old bald monk and their Zhang family ancestor believed that he could help their family break free from the shackles of their bloodline and become gods. Of course, he could become a god if he wanted to, but he would need to devote himself to Buddhism to dispel the bloodline curse within him.

Zhao Shuang would naturally not agree to becoming a bald monk.

Moreover, there are other ways to dispel the curse within him, so he decided to use another method. However, his strength has not yet reached that level, so he can only temporarily abandon this method.

He wanted to grow gradually, rather than achieving godhood overnight, otherwise this cycle of reincarnation would have no meaning.

He wanted to return to the realm of a god, which wasn't impossible, but he needed to erase the curse from his bloodline and, incidentally, resolve the curse on the entire Zhang family's bloodline. It was common knowledge that the curse on their Zhang family's bloodline stemmed from the scandalous affairs of their ancestor—even he hadn't left behind such a disastrous legacy.

It can only be said that the Zhang family was unlucky.

Just as Zhao Shuang was contemplating his next move, he witnessed a horrifying scene. He found himself on a grassland with an altar. On the altar sat a large cauldron, and inside the cauldron were people—living people, no less. Zhao Shuang was enraged, furious. He swept his hand around, instantly annihilating all the Rakshasa clan members hiding nearby, ready to ambush him. He didn't even allow them to emerge, simply wiping them all out. This time, he didn't bother collecting their blood or souls; there was no need. Such scum didn't deserve to live. He didn't want to leave even a trace. Although he had killed countless beings, he always had a reason, a justification, and never indiscriminately slaughtered the innocent. Even when he did kill the innocent, he would give them a swift death.

This is also why he hates the underworld so much, because the underworld treats other living beings as food and then indiscriminately kills innocent people, which he hates.

As for other living beings, they could be exterminated or slaughtered indiscriminately; Zhao Shuang wouldn't interfere much in such matters, as long as he didn't witness it. However, if he did see it, he would definitely intervene. Especially treating other living beings as food, particularly humans. If it were beastmen, there would be no problem, but humans were unacceptable. He had no objection to the Rakshasa people treating demonic beasts as food; they could do whatever they wanted, since he also ate meat. But treating other humans as food was intolerable to him. Therefore, he showed no mercy, wiping out all Rakshasa people within a radius of at least a hundred miles, leaving no trace. As for the humans who had been cooked during the ceremony, Zhao Shuang had them all cremated, then dug a pit, buried them in it, and restored the pit to its original state.

No graves or tombs were erected, because in this world that was about to be destroyed, all of that was useless, utterly useless.

Returning them to dust was the limit of what he could do; he couldn't do any more.

After confirming that there were no other Rakshasa clans around, Zhao Shuang began searching for other Rakshasa clansmen, because this time he was completely angry, very angry.

Therefore, none of the Rakshasa encountered along the way left alive.

To be precise, once you encounter him, no Rakshasa can expect to leave alive. Along the way, which covered a distance of a million miles, all the Rakshasa were wiped out, and his merit points instantly reached over a million.

Zhao Shuang paid no attention to these things and continued to search for other Rakshasa clan members and other people in the Guanghan Realm.

Encountering people from the Kunlun Realm wouldn't pose much of a problem. The astonishing combat power displayed by the Kunlun Realm's saints shocked many gods in the Heavenly Court Realm, as it was simply too powerful, completely exceeding their expectations. Even the Heavenly Court Realm's prodigies were somewhat weaker—not the top-tier prodigies, but ordinary ones. However, there were indeed beings comparable to the top-tier prodigies.

However, their numbers are relatively small; there are only a few hundred beings in the Kunlun Realm who can be compared to top-tier geniuses. Yet, this still shocked all the gods in the Heavenly Court Realm. They never expected that the Kunlun Realm, which was almost on the verge of collapse and extinction, could cultivate so many top-tier geniuses. This truly astonished them.

"Quickly, quickly find all their information, and then find a way to contact them after this Holy War of Merit. With their strength, they definitely won't die in this Ancestral Spirit Realm. Let them join our world; it's much better for them to stay in our world than in the nearly extinct Kunlun Realm. With the strength they've shown so far, their future achievements are limitless. They even have a chance to become gods. How could such geniuses stay in the Kunlun Realm? This nearly extinct world is simply not qualified to have geniuses of this caliber." "That's right, we must bring them into our world no matter what, no matter the cost. Perhaps in a few thousand years, our world will have another god."

“Excellent, excellent. They all possess the aptitude to become gods, at the very least they can become Great Saints, and top-tier Great Saints at that. This is far too important for us, we absolutely cannot let them go.”

Soon, information about the top geniuses and ordinary geniuses of the Kunlun Realm was in the hands of many gods in the Heavenly Court Realm, and after reading it, they tried every means to win them over to their respective worlds.

Because ordinary geniuses have the potential to become Great Sages, while top geniuses have the potential to become Gods.

Simply put, one is a perfect physique, and the other is a supreme perfect physique or a near-supreme perfect physique. In short, their physical physiques are in no way inferior to those geniuses of the Heavenly Court, and are even more powerful. In particular, those geniuses who have been taught the Great Dao Divine Power by Zhao Shuang are the envy of everyone, and probably the envy of all the gods in the entire Heavenly Court.

If they were to be brought to their world, they would not only gain a top-tier prodigy, but also the same great divine power they had always dreamed of.

"No wonder they've all become top-tier prodigies. To reach this level, they've all been taught the Great Dao Divine Powers by the Heavenly King. These are divine powers even gods crave. Successfully cultivating them is enough to make one a powerful figure among gods. Countless gods hoped to receive the Heavenly King's teachings, but he ignored them completely. Only a very few gods were qualified to obtain one or two cultivation methods of the Great Dao Divine Powers from him. I never imagined they would obtain Great Dao Divine Powers at the Saint Realm. It seems the Heavenly King truly cares about the Kunlun Realm."

“That’s right. If we could obtain the great Dao divine abilities they cultivate, even our strength would be greatly improved, and we might even be able to advance further and comprehend more profound mysteries.”

"Yes, we must bring these top talents into our world no matter what. We absolutely cannot let them return to the Kunlun Realm. Otherwise, it would be such a pity. The Kunlun Realm simply cannot protect them."

"So many Great Dao Divine Powers! There are at least thirty Great Dao Divine Powers that have appeared in this short period of time alone. It's truly unbelievable that the Heavenly King would impart so many Great Dao Divine Powers to the Kunlun Realm. More than thirty Great Dao Divine Powers! If one were to learn them all, how powerful would one become?"

"It is said that the Heavenly King possesses thousands of divine powers, otherwise how could he have become one of the Heavens? Moreover, even among the Heavens, he ranks among the top three. He almost destroyed the Yama Clan back then. I just don't know why the Heavenly King chose reincarnation back then. I really don't know what he was thinking. With his strength, after 100,000 years, he would probably have become the number one person in the entire Heavenly Court and Hell Realm."

"Who knows what the Heavenly King is thinking? But what we need to do now is to win over all the geniuses of the Kunlun Realm. If we can win them all over, it will be of great benefit to our world. Whether it is obtaining their great Dao supernatural powers or their future becoming Great Saints or even gods, it will be of immeasurable value to us."

"I'm afraid the Heavenly Realm won't let them off the hook. If we try to win them over, won't we offend the Heavenly Realm?"

"So what if we've offended them? Do you think the Heavenly Realm can destroy our world?"

"That's true. If we were to win over so many geniuses, it would weaken the power of the Kunlun Realm. The Heavenly Realm should be happy about that. At worst, we can just give them a portion of the Great Dao Divine Power we've obtained."

"That's right, that's right. At worst, we can give a share of the Great Dao Divine Power we obtained to the Heavenly Realm. That way, the Heavenly Realm shouldn't be angry. On the contrary, they should be very happy because we not only weakened the power of the Kunlun Realm, but also helped them obtain the Great Dao Divine Power. They always wanted the Heavenly King's Great Dao Divine Power, but the Heavenly King had no goodwill towards the people of the Heavenly Realm."

At this time, many gods in the Heavenly Court were discussing how to win over the many geniuses of the Kunlun Realm and how to learn about the Great Dao and supernatural powers from these geniuses.

Ten thousand years ago, they all desired these Great Dao Divine Powers, and now that their wish was finally about to be fulfilled, they were naturally overjoyed. They never imagined that their world, and even they themselves, would be able to obtain Great Dao Divine Powers; this was truly astonishing and exhilarating for them. As for offending the Heavenly Realm, they no longer cared.

At worst, we can just give another copy of the Great Dao Divine Power we obtained to the Heavenly Realm. After all, the Heavenly Realm wanted Zhao Shuang's Great Dao Divine Power more than any other world back then.

By winning over all the geniuses of the Kunlun Realm, the Kunlun Realm is one step closer to its demise, which is definitely a great thing for the Heavenly Realm.

They were overjoyed, so how could they possibly have offended the Heavenly Realm?
With this in mind, the gods of these worlds, or rather the gods of the temples, are trying every means to win over those geniuses who possess the divine powers of the Great Dao, and even those who do not possess the divine powers of the Great Dao are among their targets.

After all, these are all prodigies with the potential to become Great Sages. (End of Chapter)
