Chapter 544: Devil’s Karma Strings

After unlocking the ultimate farm hax, Miaomiao started working. He activated the power and opened a portal, which connected his dantian world to the real world. Then, he tossed Chang'e in there and closed the gate.

As soon as Chang'e was thrown to the farm, Xu Chu, Diaochan, Eurobeat, and curious dryads came to check on the newcomer as she came here with her physical body like Meowmeow and Dian Wei.

Then, chaos ensued.

Miaomiao could sense the loud noise as the girls were having fun. He separated his consciousness to the dantian world to check.

"THIS PLACE SMELLS LIKE CUM!!"

Chang'e already woke up and started squealing like panicking blond women in horror films. However, Diaochan caught the mermaid and carried her toward the ocean of Life Essence at her full speed.

Then, Diaochan carried Chang'e back to Xu Chu. She had succeeded baiting the two gluttons.

Chasing after Diaochan and Chang'e were Dian Wei and Meowmeow, who had been hunting fishes in the ocean. They noticed the fishy scent of Chang'e.

Dian Wei's eight legs moved at a light speed, "SEAFOOD!!"

Meowmeow was the same. Strangely, his movements were similar to Dian Wei's, "THAT'S A HUGE TUNA, Munya!!"

Seeing the monsters, Chang'e cried, "IYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

The only ones who were enjoying this were Xu Chu and Diaochan. They started playing catch, using the mermaid as a ball. As for the glutton duo, they were [IT] who would steal their ball.

Miaomiao looked at the girls and shook his head. Behind him, Xie Tian also gazed at them in bemusement.

"Master, are you sure that the mermaid can be trusted?"

"Trustworthy or not, I need to keep her close. Do you know what a famous proverb in the modern world was? Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. Also, I'm different than my counterparts. I can see and utilize karma strings while they couldn't. If Devil tries to make her a hunter, I'll simply cut their karma strings and thoroughly brainwash her later."

"I see… I wish I have that brainwash system, too."

"Isn't that against your principle?"

"Principles and ideals can't bring food to the table. You taught me that in the previous timeline."

"… My counterpart brought you to the dark side, I see."

Miaomiao stopped looking at the girls and visited the dryad farms. His real body also tossed several spatial rings to the dantian world for the another him in the dantian world scan for useful items.

The collection of spatial rings of dead cultivators already reached a hundred. Miaomiao already forgot how he got so many of these rings from, but they contained useful items.

Miaomiao inside the dantian world began erasing the remnant will of the previous owners and unlocking the sealed rings. Then, he ejected the contents to the ground.

Equipment, pills, essence cores, refined stones, spirit stones, random skill books, cultivation methods, and artifacts were tossed to the side. Miaomiao only focused on rare herbs or minerals.

Unfortunately, the rings from local cultivators were useless. They only had common items.

Spatial rings, pouches, and boxes from the Liu Clan's vault were more useful. Aside from the expired pills and cursed equipment, they stocked so many precious plants.

This clan meticulously grew several sets of potted plants. They were water, fire, wood, lightning, earth, and wind cacti, which produced elemental flowers once every decade. These flowers could be eaten raw, and they could boost one's potential and affinity with the basic elements.

These flowers might be useful for raising these dryads. Miaomiao wanted to grow these cacti next.

But there was an issue. The guideline manual book that Miaomiao had found stated that these plants only needed to be kept in a dark place with abundant Twilight Qi.

Miaomiao immediately thought of Liu Bian, who used Twilight Essence as fuel for his undead army. He turned to Diaochan.

'I doubt these plants can grow on that Unholy Karma Continent. Diaochan is using Death Qi instead of Twilight Qi, so she can't possibly handle these potted plants… What to do?'

Miaomiao thought of Liu Bian's pylon tower, which produced Twilight Qi. He wondered if he could make one.

'Dion, can I construct another pylon tower with Twilight Qi?'

Ding

[Please create a new planet to start cultivating Twilight Qi.]

'How do I create a new planet, then?'

[Please ascend and walk the path of a Constellation Immortal. Then, you can create extra planets in your dantian.]

Miaomiao scoffed at Dion's suggestion since he knew a better method than an ordinary Constellation Immortal. He glanced at Xie Tian, who had returned to rest.

Xie Tian in the previous timeline obtained various fortuitous encounters and learned a cultivation method of Adam. He became a Stellar Constellation Immortal before he advanced to the deity realm.

The cultivation method was closely the same as Constellation Immortal. However, Adam's method focused on the quality of each planet over the number of planets. Secondly, this method only needed one Power Plant Planet for each element while the normal method needed several of them to be useful.

Furthermore, Stellar Constellation could support Compound Element Power Plant Planets while the other could only handle advanced elements. This already made a stark difference between the quality and the foundation of the two methods.

But before Miaomiao could reach that far, he had to complete the 12-level mortal realms first. He had 4 stages to go.

'No point worrying about my cultivation method and the cacti for now. I'll keep the cacti in the system inventory until I become immortal. Next!'

Miaomiao shifted his attention toward the rings of dead immortals. These people carried many things that the local population of Golden Heavenly Goose Planet never had.

The numbers of heaven-grade artifacts and skill books were few, but everything was interesting - Some skills could potentially create Heavenly Fate Fragments from condensed luck force on the planet. A few of them allowed the cultivator to create a clone in the shape of a giant eye to spy on the mortals.

Miaomiao remembered the world guardians, who used this power before. They sent clones and appeared as giant eyes to deliver Heaven Tribulations or Hell Tribulations to the local cultivators. But in the end, they were not True Heaven Tribulations since everything was manmade.

He arranged the books to the side as he would read them later. He continued searching for rare minerals and soul stones.

And he found an interesting soul stone.

First-grade soul stones were broken fragments while the second-grade ones were small marbles. The third-grade stones were baseball-sized orbs, and the fourth-grades were as big as volleyballs.

However, the fifth-grade stone was huge. It was at least 3 meters in diameter. Miaomiao couldn't believe it when he poured the only fifth-grade soul stone out to the farm.

"Dion…"

[Yeah?]

"Can soul stones be farmable?"

[Yes. Any material or mineral can be used as a sacrifice to create a new quarry. Then, that quarry will produce the same mineral or material that you have sacrificed.]

"… Cool. Then, use this one to create a soul stone mine, please."

[Affirmative. Calculating Luck Energy to create the mine. Please wait…]

[The Luck Upkeep for quarries will be changed to 1,000,000 Luck Points per Day. Are you sure you want to proceed?]

"A million?! Wait, let me see the detail first."

Miaomiao opened the status menu and accessed a new tab, which showed the current stock of luck points and his luck generation rate.

…

…

Ever since Miaomiao had completed a Totem Nascent Soul, the Luck System changed. It no longer simplified it as an overall luck point value.

Now, it showed the detail of what it was for, how it was generated, and what the system had been using it for.

His body stored luck energy in a different section - His dantian and soul dantian stored them separately. The dantian world gathered luck to function as well, and the Heavenly Fate Core itself could contain the power.

The luck income came from merits or good deeds. However, trivial good deeds couldn't generate luck – Only a significant achievement that could impact the world could generate this profound energy, such as the creation of the dryads. Creating and keeping the dryads in the dantian world was a significant deed. Even raising and multiplying livestock by using the dantian world gave Miaomiao extra income as well.

It might not give Miaomiao much, but it was a passive income.

Still, the major income contribution came from the Unholy Karma Continent. The continent purified some of the negative karma into Soul Qi, Providence Qi, and random elemental energy while Xu Chu and Xie Tian digested the excess Qi before it harmed Miaomiao. These actions ended up as a good deed, and everyone was blessed with a huge amount of luck energy.

Unfortunately, someone had been stealing this cake in secret.

Miaomiao's sight stopped at the two biggest values in the expenditure list.

"Damn Devil! He's secretly leeching my fucking luck!"

This was his first time seeing this system menu, and he was infuriated by the discovery.

It explained why Devil kept his counterparts in the second and third timelines alive for so long. That bastard was using Miaomiao as luck energy factory!

Since Miaomiao found a new clue, he gathered Xu Chu and Xie Tian to consult with them.

Xu Chu could already see the system screen of Miaomiao, so she had a better understanding of the situation. Meanwhile, Xie Tian had a grasp of how luck and providence Qi worked, so he could understand the subject. However, he couldn't see the system screen.

Miaomiao drew the system menu on the ground to let Xie Tian see.

"What do y'all think?"

Xu Chu pointed at the lines, where it showed as Devil.dat.

"Erase this thing. This might be a virus in your system."

Xie Tian nodded, "I agree. Before you do anything with the Devil's soul fragment or his luck stealing brand, you should get rid of the suspicious file first. How about you ask your system to erase the file?"

"Okay."

Miaomiao asked Dion next, "Dion, can you remove the Devil.dat?"

Ding

[Affirmative… Deleting…]

[Error: The file is encrypted and protected by a mysterious power.]

"…"

Even Dion was helpless, which made Miaomiao frown.

Miaomiao guessed that the file came from the murals, but he had no solid proof.

Fortunately, Miaomiao remembered how Lu Fengxian separated Dion from Devil before. That protagonist even cut the link between him and Devil before the latter managed to reestablish it via an unknown method.

He might be able to sever the karma tie if the file was a karma string.

'Right, just cut the karma. But I'm kinda worried. If I destroy the Devil's soul fragment, will I die?'

Since Devil's soul fragment gave birth to Miaomiao's existence, Miaomiao didn't know if he should destroy it.

Would he accidentally kill himself if he were to destroy the soul fragment?

Hesitated, Miaomiao decided to leave the soul fragment for now. He shifted his consciousness to his real body.

…

Real World

Miaomiao looked around to find the right karma strings, which connected to the mysterious Devil.bat and Devil's brand.

He found them, but there were four strings.

Miaomiao began inspecting the details of the karma strings one at a time.

The first line was the karma of hatred. It usually appeared when one side had a negative emotion toward the other. If Miaomiao cut this string, the karma starter would lose the portion of the memory of why he had that feeling.

The creator of this karma string was Miaomiao, so he couldn't cut it. He didn't want to forget why he hated Devil.

The second one was the opposite of the negative emotion karma. It was related to good deeds and good karma when one side did something good for the other.

Cutting this string would sever the bond and end the good deed. However, the one that cut the string would face a karma tribulation.

Again, this karma string was created when Devil helped Miaomiao. Cutting it would alert Devil of Miaomiao's plan, so he couldn't do it yet.

The third one was the troublesome one. It connected to Miaomiao's existence karma. Therefore, cutting it would be a suicide since he would instantly disappear.

Moreover, the third karma string seemed to be attached to Devil's soul fragment. It proved Miaomiao's theory that he couldn't destroy the soul fragment any time soon.

"Bastard…"

Miaomiao sighed and moved on. There was another karma string to go through.

When Miaomiao inspected the fourth string, he smirked.

Finally, he found the causes of his headache.

It transferred his luck to the Devil!

"So, this is the one!"

Without hesitation, Miaomiao cut it!
