Chapter 1453: Rearing a Farm of Demonic Beasts

“The merit points for terminating evil men are called an ‘Eliminating Evil’ reward!” The Prime of Tongitan said, “The merit points you earn for diffusing a war using peaceful methods is called a ‘Raising Virtue’ reward! You protected both parties during the battle, so the merit points you received are doubled! One part for protecting humans, and the other for protecting the Demonic Beasts! I just want to remind you that you shouldn’t harm or kill the Demonic Beasts! Or else, your merit points will be deducted!”
Chen Xiaobei frowned at this. “Oh, that explains it. Then, what should I do about the one million Demonic Beasts? If I don’t kill them, am I supposed to rear them inside the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd?”
“Yes, keep them for the moment. Who knows, you might have a use for them the next time!” the Prime of Tongtian advised.
“Rearing one million Demonic Beasts sounds like an easy task but it’s actually very troublesome. I don’t even know what to feed them!”
“Don’t you have Heavenly Dog Biscuits? All you need to do is take control of the leader of the horde, find an uninhabited planet and let them live there!”
“I was just preparing a batch of Heavenly Dog Biscuits. It’ll be done by tomorrow, but where do I start looking for this uninhabited planet?”
“There are plenty of planets like that in the universe!” The Prime of Tongitan said. “You just need to find yourself a tool that could shuttle you around the universe, and you’ll also need a piece of interstellar aviation map. Finding a vacant planet is not that difficult at all!”
“A tool? You mean like a spacecraft?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“Mmhmm, different starfields are reached by different methods. The starfield that you are in uses spacecrafts, but if you want to get to an earth-god realm, you’ll see elites flying on swords! If you come to the heavenly realm, you don’t need any tools at all. You can fly and land as you like, crossing voids freely!”
“Wow! Flying freely? Crossing voids? I can’t wait!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up at the thought.
“Well, if you really want to get there, then you’d better work hard to increase your cultivation! Only when your cultivation is high enough, can you travel to higher ranking starfields! Only when you reach the pinnacle phase in the earth-god realm can you enter the gates of the Heavenly Realm!”
“I understand! I will work hard!” Chen Xiaobei promised.
“Mm, good! Do you have any other questions? If you don’t, I’m going to go listen to the Ancestral Lord’s sermon!”
“I do! Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if I kill all one million of the Demonic Beasts?”
“First, you will lose all five million merit points. After that, it will depend on the constitutions of the Demonic Beasts! If they are evil beasts that kill human beings for selfish gains, you will be rewarded with merit points for killing them. But it would definitely be way below five million merit points! If they are just regular beasts who kill for self-defence, not only will you not be rewarded for killing them, but your merit points will be deducted from you for killing the innocent! Finally, if they are kind beasts who kill humans to protect their own kind, the merit points deducted will be doubled! If your merit points are reduced to a negative number, you will then become an evil person! From then on, your luck will dwindle. If your merit points continue to fall, you might be struck by the wrath of Heaven!”
Chen Xiaobei gulped. “Wow, that is severe! Thank goodness I have never killed any good people! I will not kill these Demonic Beasts either. I will take care of them as you have told me to!”
The people that Chen Xiaobei had terminated were all evil people who either wanted him dead, or wanted to harm his friends and family!
That was why, until today, Chen Xiaobei had never lost a single merit point for taking a life.
But among these one million, in which many were evil beasts, there was also bound to be a portion of them who were innocent.
For that reason, Chen Xiaobei decided against eradicating them.
He would do as the Prime of Tongtian had advised him, and take control of the three Demonic Beast Kings, which would also mean taking control of the rest of the Demonic Beasts.
Then, as long as Chen Xiaobei did not have any evil intentions, these Demonic Beasts would not do evil ever again.
That was the best solution.
“Do you have any other questions?” The Prime of Tongtian asked.
“Just one more!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Do you know about Lu Bu?”
“No! The war is near, so I’ve been spending a lot of time listening to the Ancestral Lord recently! At most, I can watch over you. I don’t have time to care about anything else.”
“It’s like this, Shen Gongpao took Diao Chan hostage, and then sent Lu Bu down to kill me! Acheron suggested that I use 10 million merit points to help Diao Chan to become an Earth God! That way, she could descend to the underworld, and escape the grasp of Shen Gongpao! Then Lu Bu and I could become friends instead of enemies!”
“Mm, that’s a pretty good idea!” The Prime of Tongtian nodded. “Now that you have left earth, and are heading for more powerful domains, the force and influence you have becomes irrelevant. It would be very useful for you to have Lu Bu and Diao Chan’s support!”
“Sifu, you really are magnanimous! You are the only person I would dare to talk to about this. If I had told my friends, they would have surely advised me against wasting so many merit points!”
“You are the one who is magnanimous!” The Prime of Tongtian said. “10 million merit points is not a small number. Unless a person is open minded and magnanimous enough, they would have not been willing to part with it!”
“You’re too kind, Sifu!” Chen Xiaobei grinned. “I can still earn back the merit points! Friends turning into enemies would be a great loss to be regretted forever!”
“Mm, I really like this attitude of yours!” The Prime of Tongtian praised.
“I want to know something else. This Earth God thing, could you get it just by using merit points?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“You haven’t even learnt to walk yet and you want to run already?” The Prime of Tongtian chuckled.
“Ask me again when you get to demigod level!”
“Oh, I was too impatient!” Chen Xiaobei said obsequiously. “If that’s the case, I won’t take up any more of your time! Bye Sifu!”
“Mmm, I will contact you if anything comes up!” The Prime of Tongtian said before vanishing from Chen Xiaobei’s mind.
Time flashed past, and five days had already passed.
The beeping noises outside the cave woke Chen Xiaobei.
It must have come from the rescue spacecrafts that the Temple deployed.
“I’ve never seen a real spacecraft before! I can finally see it today!” Chen Xiaobei exhaled, expelling foul Qi, and putting his cultivating on hold. “But before I do that, I’d better check my cultivation!”
