Chapter 2297 Great Credits
The group watched as the Rivers of Death Qi started to flow, and further expanded the fissures.
Some Death Qi also spread out from the rivers, as it turned into vapor but most of it seemed to be the liquefied Death Qi that had been condensed by the Chimera Plant.
"That does not look good…" Ziran spoke. "I don"t know how it"ll work out for the Spatial plane." "Considering it fixed all the damage last time, which was even more widespread than this, it should be fine." Elder Hu stated. "This place"s arrays were made by a Celestial after all." He added.
"Elder Hu is correct. Even if Death Qi is dangerous for us, a Celestial can still handle it." Lin Mu agreed.
The group thought about it and reckoned it was the right thing.
"So what do we do now?" Qiao De asked. "Hunt more Chimeric Beasts?" "We should—" Before Lin Mu could finish replying though, he saw the green band on his hand light up. "Huh?"
~SHUA~
<116,015,457>
A number appeared above it, making Lin Mu become speechless.
The others saw this too and were stunned.
"H-Hundred… Over a Hundred Million!?" Qiao De exclaimed, almost falling down from the sky.
~SHUA~
But that was just the start, as the bands of Crown Princess Shang and Lady Kang also lit up.
<54,621,159>
<78,511,236>
The two women looked at the numbers and were shocked at it.
"How did it… wait!" Lin Mu looked back at the destroyed Chimera Plant and quickly understood it. "The destruction of the Chimera Plant counted for credits." He muttered.
All three of them that had partic.i.p.ated in damaging the Chimera plant seemed to have been granted Credits for it.
"Aww! If I knew it could grant credits, I"d have tried something at least." Daoist Chu was now regretting.
"How many credits did it grant though?" Ziran could see some discrepancies. "The credits don"t seem to match what we"ve estimated before. Plus this is the first time it has granted credits to more than a single person." He stated his doubts.
"That"s true. It didn"t divide the credits before." Lady Kang was also finding it unexpected. "Hmm… now that I think of it. The credits you all got also seem to be a bit too uneven, if we discount the credits you had before." Min Ju said after calculating in her mind.
"It is strange." Lin Mu looked at the other credits and tried to estimate how much was granted to each person. "It doesn"t seem to be an exact number… Perhaps we need to destroy more of the Chimera Plants to get a better idea about it." He said being unable to figure it out.
"Yeah, at least this gives us another reason to destroy the Chimera plants." Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. "Besides, even if we don"t know the exact credits. From what it looks like, the total credits granted seem to be at least a hundred million, don"t you think?" he stated.
"A hundred million credits… that"s what we estimated for a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric Beast." Lin Mu replied. "While the plant might not have the offense of one, it does make up for it with its other capabilities." He reckoned.
"It can rapidly make more chimeric beasts, so it can technically exceed the credit value of a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beast." Ziran said after thinking for a bit. "Given enough time, I think the value might just exceed past a billion or even more. And that"s just from one plant. Imagine what would happen when there are more of them… ten, twenty, hundred or even more?" he gave a rather terrifying scenario.
The others could only imagine the kind of devastation a hundred Chimera Plants could cause. The more they thought about it, the more the scenes of the past war could manifest in their minds. They could feel the terror the victims of the plant might have felt in the past, and the despair they had to go through.
But above it all, they couldn"t help but tremble realizing that above all this was still its creator, the Chimeric Fiend G.o.d!
A being that had gone up against multiple courts and fought against entire realms, was not one to be taken lightly. The fear it had left could still be felt, even with it becoming history.
~huu~
Lin Mu snapped out of the strange state first, taking a deep breath.
"Is this what Karma is like?" He muttered to himself.
He could tell that the feeling all of them were getting was not just their imagination, but a greater power affecting them from afar.
"You"re correct." Xukong stated. "That is indeed the power of Karma." "No wonder…" Lin Mu muttered. "Just a single Chimera Plant that has grown after millions of years, can still have an effect like this on us."
"The more you think about it, the worst it will get." Xukong warned. "The Karma of the Chimeric Fiend G.o.d is not light and has properties that reflect its abilities too. Its best not to dabble much in it." He added.
"I"ll keep that in mind, Senior." Lin Mu replied before looking at his companions. "I suppose I should get them out of this then." He said before he started to chant.
A sharp aura radiated from him and covered everyone making them all flinch.
~GASP~
They all gasped as their hearts raced.
"I suppose Severing Heart Sutra works well on this." Lin Mu had guessed that it would be the perfect for such an effect. "I"ll keep it in mind for future." "What… happened?" Crown Princess Shang asked feeling confused.
"It was karma." Lin Mu said, before giving a quick explanation of what Xukong had said to him.
"Karma? That shouldn"t be…" Lady Kang muttered.
But as she thought about it, she soon realized something.
"When I felt that being, my Dao Embryo was unable to block it too… Perhaps this is something on the same level thus the Astral Star Chart Dao Embryo didn"t react fully." Lady Kang now understood.
