"Dad, if my guess is correct, here's the situation..."
"Emperor of Understanding" Chuan Jianguo began his "personal analysis" to Hao Ren.
Normally, there are two ways a cultivator can obtain "Merit Power".
First, mortal worship!
Like Hao Ren, who built "worshiping statues," mortals offer incense and worship day and night, generating a continuous stream of "Merit Power."
It's worth noting that only offerings from mortals can produce "Merit Power."
Generally speaking, the offerings of cultivators do not generate "Merit Power."
There are two ways to understand this.
One, the Great Dao is for all!
The Great Dao is fair. Mortals, though weak, can produce the strongest "Merit Power."
Second, fairness and justice!
If the offerings of cultivators could generate "Merit Power," wouldn't they be able to offer to each other and farm "Merit Power"?
Never think it's impossible; cultivators are full of "shady operations"!
As long as they find loopholes, they can farm it endlessly!
The other way to obtain "Merit Power" is much more powerful: "Great Dao Rewards."
When a cultivator does something beneficial to the "Three Thousand Great Daos," such as comprehending heaven and earth, promoting the evolution of every "Great Dao," and developing it.
The "Great Dao" will bestow a massive amount of "Merit Power."
Massive, truly massive!
Cultivators who receive such rewards can often instantly condense an incredibly powerful "Merit Golden Body," becoming impervious to all calamities, incredibly formidable!
Of course, the difficulty of obtaining such rewards is "insanely insane"!
Promoting the evolution of a "Great Dao" and developing it... Such an "awesome" feat, even "Eternal Immortal Emperors" cannot achieve it.
Perhaps only the legendary "Saint Realm" has the possibility of achieving it!
...
In addition to the two methods mentioned above, there is also a method to obtain "Merit Power" – "Heavenly Dao Rewards"!
"Heavenly Dao Rewards" and "Great Dao Rewards" are completely different things.
"Great Dao" refers to the "Three Thousand Great Daos," which are supreme over all "Heavens and Myriad Realms," and are the "ultimate goal" of all cultivators.
And "Heavenly Dao," it is the "embodiment" of "World Will."
How to describe it, "Heavenly Dao" is very much like a kind of "computer program."
"Heavenly Dao" basically has no emotions, no joys or sorrows; it only operates according to certain predetermined program rules.
In all the "Heavens and Myriad Realms," every "world" has a "专属 Heavenly Dao," like a "world's backend operating program."
The mortal world Hao Ren inhabits naturally has its "Heavenly Dao."
However, the "Heavenly Dao" of the mortal world is not qualified to reward "Merit Power."
Insufficient permissions!
No matter how remarkable Hao Ren's performance is in this realm, no "Heavenly Dao" will appear to reward him with a large amount of "Merit Power."
Most other "worlds" are the same!
Only in the legendary "Immortal Realm" can there be "Merit Power" rewarded by the "Heavenly Dao."
However, in the "Immortal Realm," the "Heavenly Dao" has merged with the "Heavenly Court," and "Merit Power" is distributed by the "Heavenly Court."
If other immortals want to obtain "Merit Power" from the "Heavenly Court," they must work hard for the "Heavenly Court"!
Working immortals, the soul of working, working is the ultimate immortal!
...
"Emperor of Understanding" Chuan Jianguo rambled on and finally clarified the ways to obtain "Merit Power." Then he continued:
"Dad, you are the most special..."
For ordinary cultivators, obtaining "Merit Power" means accumulating it slowly, hoping for a chance to condense a "Merit Golden Body" or refine a "Merit Supreme Treasure."
Hao Ren's situation is different from everyone else's.
His "Merit Power" merged with his "Fortune Network," forming a unique "Merit Fortune Network"!
In this situation, Hao Ren, through his "natal fortune," controls "Merit Power" to the greatest extent.
Others' "Merit Power" can only accumulate, while Hao Ren's "Merit Power" can continuously flow through the "network."
The specific method is: answering every prayer!
When those "women" devoutly pray to the "worshiping statues," "Merit Power" is generated in the process.
"Merit Power" enters the "Merit Fortune Network" and continuously circulates.
Next, those "women" pray to the "worshiping statues" again, wishing to have a child.
The continuously circulating "Merit Power" will then connect with the "praying women" through the "Merit Fortune Network," consuming a certain amount of "Merit Power" to help her fulfill her "wish."
This is the characteristic of the original "Fortune Network," which is to reciprocate!
Obtaining "Merit Power" from "mortal women" and consuming a certain amount of "Merit Power" on them.
Overall, the "Merit Power" generated by the "mortal women" is more than the "Merit Power" they consume. Hao Ren is still making a good "profit."
Hao Ren has now accumulated over three hundred points of "Merit Value."
This amount is truly not small.
After all, each devout prayer from a mortal can only generate 0.01 or 0.02 points of "Merit Value," which is pitifully little.
It is not easy to accumulate over three hundred points of "Merit Value," truly not easy!
"Dad, consuming Merit Power to help mortals fulfill their wishes, this should be your own operation? Don't you remember?"
The "Merit Fortune Network" is completely under Hao Ren's control; it cannot fulfill others' wishes on its own; it requires Hao Ren's authorization and approval.
However, Hao Ren clearly remembers that he never operated it this way?
Hao Ren recalled carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he remembered something that had happened not long ago.
At that time, Hao Ren was supervising the "Wandering Cave Phase One Project" when a system notification sounded in his mind.
【Ding! System friendly reminder, the host has unfinished "Merit Events," does the host wish to handle them?】
At that time, Hao Ren was focused on "packing up and leaving," with no intention of dealing with these matters. He impatiently said:
"Not handling it!"
The system was very persistent and issued another notification.
【Ding! System strongly recommends that the host handle the "Merit Event" immediately!】
"Aren't you annoying? Don't you see I'm busy now, I have no time!"
【Ding! System friendly reminder, if the host has no time to handle "Merit Events," the host can enable the batch processing function for "Merit Events"... System strongly recommends that the host process "Merit Events" in batches, based on "agreement"...】
"Alright, alright, whatever, just do it!"
...
Uh, so it was the system!
Hao Ren immediately said to the system in his mind.
"System, open that Merit Event page for me immediately!"
