Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1523

"What's his situation?" Wang Wei asked.

"He has done an excellent job," Mao Yue praised. "He worked with the mortal world to preserve the balance between the world of the living and the dead. He improved our system by creating a Redemption Program."

"Oh?"

"The karma system used to judge a person's reincarnation is fair, but too strict. People who have neutral karma have a higher chance of reincarnating as animals, which is somewhat unfair. There are also people with negative karma, but they have a change of mind at some point in their life, and they died before they could make up for it."

Mao Yue sipped her tea. "Li Jun proposed that we redeem these people instead of judging them harshly. They can sign a contract and work for us until they meet the karma requirement for a better reincarnation. We ran a mock trial in the lower dimension with Li Jun as the leader, and once he perfected the system, his idea was incorporated into the larger system."

'That sounds like the concept of Purgatory,' Wang Wei thought. However, he never mentioned such a thing to Li Jun, meaning he thought of it on his own.

"Is that why he was rewarded?" Wang Wei asked.

"He was first offered the position of a Yama King Seed. However, he was not a fan of all the rules and restrictions. So, he was rewarded access to our training grounds. It's a shame. He would have made an excellent Yama King," Mao Yue praised.

"He might have calmed down because of his position, but battle and war runs through his blood," Wang Wei said, not surprised that Li Jun rejected the offer.

"True," Mao Yue nodded. When Li Jun was not doing his job, he spent most of his time fighting in the Battle Tower in the Dream World. His calm temperament might fit the position of Yama King, but his nature was that of a warrior.

"It's a shame I can't see him," Wang Wei muttered. Li Jun was the only person he could count on not to care about his status or difference in cultivation. Wang Wei had been chasing the warm atmosphere before his ascension, and Li Jun was probably the only one who could give it to him.

"I'm glad he's thriving," Wang Wei smiled. He finished his tea, and his grandmother filled his cup. "Onto the main topic: I came here for this." Wang Wei summoned a cube on his palm, which was the modified Nether Hell he stole from Ying Zheng and the Earth Emperor.

"This is," Mao Yue muttered as she looked at the world inside the cube. She waved his hand to block this world from all sight. With his move, Wang Wei finally confirmed that she was indeed a Primal, and probably one of the best.

"Paradise," Wang Wei said. "Life is an eternal cycle of reincarnation. Most mortals will only experience a few reincarnations before their souls are recycled into the purest soul energy to create a brand new soul.

"Mortals with enough positive karma will have blessed lives, not having to worry about food, wealth, health, or love prosperity. If virtuous enough, they can reincarnate as Devas and reach the peak of the cultivation world with their unparalleled talent.

"However, those outcomes do not have to be the only path. While Devas are the highest reward for a virtuous life, considering how chaotic the cultivation world is, it's not as good a reward. Many mortals probably do not care for eternal life and powers, especially if they had to acquire them through years of struggle and bloodshed.

"I created this place as another possible reward for a karma-positive life. A utopia where mortals, and maybe even cultivators' souls, can rest in eternal bliss."

Wang Wei's Paradise was created to keep a soul in a worry-free state. It also ensures the souls are immortals, allowing the people who enter Paradise to achieve an alternate form of immortality. He also considered the possibility that these souls might eventually become bored, so he granted them the power of the Grandmist, allowing them to play God as they wish. Of course, he also understood the [Paradise] might be drastically changed once he hands it over.

Mao Yue looked at the cube, and her aura suddenly fluctuated. She exhaled deeply before closing her eyes and entering deep meditation. Wang Wei frowned, but waited. The session lasted more than an hour.

Mao Yue sighed with a wry smile: "I thought my state of mind had reached perfection, but even I couldn't resist the temptation. I guess I'm no different from Maitreya."

"Grandma?"
