Chapter 544: Li Shimin: Yang Guang, Do You Recognize Me? (6/7, Request Subscription)

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "That's a massive move, Taixuan Brother—you just accomplished something huge."

Xiao Mai: "You saved no fewer than ten million people—now Emperor Chongzhen's got his hands full. Ten million mouths to feed, that's a lot of grain!"

Ying Zheng: "If you don't want these ten million, give them to me—I'll feed them!"

Ying Zheng #2: "I can do it too!"

Li Shimin: "+1"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "What are you thinking? More people means more power. The Great Ming needs people to develop the whole world—ten million is nothing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "The Dao Lord has ripened even more grain—it's more than enough. Besides, if grain runs short, I'm right here as your ancestor—I won't let him waste it."

Zhu Youjian: "…I never said I wanted to get rid of these people."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "So you've got a problem with that?"

Zhu Youjian: "No!"

Who else is gonna be your ancestor?

And besides, he'll still step in to support his own ancestor.

Xiao Mai: "By the way, when you saved all those people just now, why didn't Heaven interfere?"

Zhang Taixuan: "It did interfere. But I used a merit-based magic treasure, so Heaven didn't intervene."

Su Xiao: "Are merit-based magic treasures really that powerful?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Exactly—they're that powerful! Otherwise, why would so many people chase after merit-based magic treasures? They're the ultimate tool for killing without karmic retribution."

Su Xiao: "So if you kill someone with one, they won't be able to seek revenge?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That's not merit-based magic treasure—that's brainwashing."

Su Xiao: "…"

Xiao Mai: "Isn't it?"

Zhang Sanfeng: "I used to think the same thing. 【Sweatdrop】"

Ye Hei: "I always thought this thing was illogical."

Han Paopao: "+1"

Zhang Taixuan: "You've misunderstood. 'Killing without karmic retribution' means Heaven won't record it as a crime—no karma, no retribution. But if family or friends seek revenge, that's unavoidable."

Su Xiao: "Ohhh, so that's how it works—it's a Heaven privilege! Like a legendary killing license. I kill you, I'm innocent; you kill me? Oops—you're done for."

Xiao Mai: "Now I get it—merit-based magic treasures are so sneaky. I kill you, Heaven doesn't see me as guilty; you kill me, and your sin is enormous."

Zhang Taixuan: "That's why, in myths, merit-based magic treasures are so coveted! The phrase 'standing atop the head, innately invincible' means exactly this."

Zhang Taixuan: "I hit you—it's legal. You hit me—it's a huge offense. Heaven writes your name down."

Ying Zheng: "Looks like I need to collect more merit and forge a merit-based magic treasure. Otherwise, I'll be at a serious disadvantage against these things."

Ying Zheng #2: "It's impossible to defend against."

Lin Fengjiao: "So that's how it is—I get it now. No wonder the ancestral masters of Heaven's realm hold merit-based magic treasures in such high regard. Last time I asked a master about using merit to infuse into magic treasures, I nearly got the master himself descending to punish me."
