Chapter 567 - E From The Cocoon

Nineteen hundred years That was how long it had taken for Daniel, a cultivator with a vague attachment to the power of Karma, to become the aspect of Karma The reason for that wasn't related to the a he possessed regarding theof karma itself, a barrier which none of the other aspects of existence had ever been forced to overco of the aspect they represented was the very cradle inside which their consciousness developed An unconsciouskept safe, and protected by the immense power they possessed-a distinction which made the aspects of existence closer in nature to elementals, rather than huue why a flame would emit heat, nor would it expect it not to burn what it came in contact with, as that was the nature of fire Similarly, an aspect of existence like Fate would not doubt his knowledge of the future If he had seen so was meant to happen, as he was Fate, and that poas part of hi able to see, or touch

Daniel, on the other hand, was born a mortal In the shape of a human, with human experiences and a mortal existence, he had no choice but to learn about his powers as they developed Unfortunately, the vastness of his powers itself developed much faster than his ability to comprehend them, hence why he had been stuck on this planet for almost two h this bottleneck, was finally realizing what his existence meant Karma, like fire, did not only have the ability to exist It was created within the multiverse by circumstances, and was now part of it But in the same way a flame existed to burn, karma had a purpose too To punish, and to reward

It was only after Daniel understood this, that he was able to break through the bottleneck and finally becoed aspect of existence Yet, a question kept appearing in his mind Was he still human?

Now omnipresent in every space that contained the power karma, Daniel sat on a stone throne built on top of a hundred meters tall pyramid While very similar to the ones built on the surface of planet Earth, however, this pyramid was not built on a planet, but on a continent-sized island that floated within the emptiness of space

At the bottom of this pyramid, was an enormous city whose confines reached beyond the eyes of a mortal could see, with millions of inhabitants that lived their lives while practicing cultivation in isolation Most of these inhabitants had been hand-picked by Daniel during his stay on planet earth, and served hi theed to the doladiator, Domitian the Ro party, and many more

At the moment of their natural deaths, these heroes of humanity had been offered the chance to abandon the world of h the path of cultivation, which they practiced alongside Ashura and the others for as long as Daniel chose to stay on Earth In the span of the past two thousand years, these individuals had becohts, and now that Daniel's efforts had paid off, they had been bestowed the blessing of Karma, which marked them as champions of Karma's domain

The reason why Daniel had chosen mortals as champions was simple People with a shorter lifespan had an immensely useful ability that was essential to comprehend the nature of Karma An ability which the world of cultivation lacked

They understood the importance of life

Due to their shorter lives, made shorter by war and sickness, mortals would place an enormous value on their lives, as they had a very li a person was just stopping so thousand years, but taking a loved one fro someone into a , or a kid into an orphan

Because of how short their lives were, mortals expected and feared the consequences of their actions to a point where, through their history, the hued to develop their very own understanding of Kar him to believe that no one was more suited to be his champion, not even his friends and family, who did not follow him as the entity he currently was, but for thethis distinction, days after ascending, had allowed Daniel to remember about his system, which he had not interacted with for the entire ti, after witnessing the birth of Destiny and awakening the power of Karma, Daniel had become less and less reliant on the power of his system But that was not all With time, the numbers above people's heads had disappeared, replaced by the visible karh their decisions, and his faroup systeue cause of nostalgia, which would struggle to eet one sed forever

While not co less emotional responses to what before would have caused hiic While on the contrary, his dedication towards the path of Karhest priority

This had caused Daniel to doubt whether he still possessed the same humanity he once based his actions on
