I think it has to do with how much Qi they have forced out of their bodies/soul/existence/whatever. I mean if everything is made of Qi and the abitants of the POMA world don't receive Qi at all, then all beings already have a certain amount of Qi from birth. In other words, a mortal and a Shangtian have the same amount of Qi.

The problem is, not even a god can completely extract all the Qi from a being, TW mentioned that he had to refine millions of mortals into a dozen Qi Stones. So TW's method is simply a way of making the process much more efficient.

Perhaps this is why there is no fourth Realm, because once you reach the apex of the Shangtian there is no more Qi to extract without killing/erasing yourself.
We're still going to recieve even more qi from killing Xiantains and Shangtains than when we got from killing Houtains. According to TW, killing all the martial artists in poma is enough for MC to advance to NS. I wonder what TW planned with this. That much qi would have just been a drop compared to his power before getting shot down by the heavens. His plan was to take over one of his clones body, then kill the entire population right? I wonder how fast TW would have advanced in MC's body.

So Grandpa severed our karma connection with TW right? LC and LDQ makes sense since he's connected to them via his teacher's art. But TW implies he could still take over MC's body? If MC is not connected to TW, then how did TW see his memories when we were seeing his? Is it some kind of resonance? Now that i think about it, MC essentially pushed TW to commit suicide lmao.

If the heavens won't allow a nascent expert stay in poma does that mean that tang wei was below nascent stage before he died?
It's not that heavens don't allow it but rather that poma world can't handle anyone above NS. To stop the destruction of poma, the heavens will send MC to a world which could handle our realm if we're to reach NS. LB explains about this during the lore event. TW had to be below NS then like you said. Still NS is far above even Yichen prime so it would have been godlike to normal people when he arrived. It took 6000 years for his life to dwindle away without his divine spark.

That's exactly what happened. In the beta version (with the hilarious TW speaking in the third person), Tang Wei no longer says:

"A miracle? Another machination of the Heavens? I don't know. For the first time in eons, I'm at a loss."

He now states with certainty that it was a machination of the heavens:

"Another machination of the Heavens, and this time this God can't help but be in awe! They knew they couldn't kill this God, so they made this God want death himself. Made him relive his life and shattered his Dao Heart."

I believe that when the heavens were "molding" MC into an "angel," they must have inserted a "hidden function" into him that, upon coming into contact with TW, would make TW watch his life as if it were a movie.

So the heavens did plan to take over MC's physique by making MC a soulless husk. Grandpa stopped it by sacrificing mom and half of Chao's soul. How was Grandpa even able to stop the heavens plans? It's insane when you think about it. Grandpa shattered the plans of the heavens who in turn shattered the plans of another god. TW should be glazing grandpa instead of Yichen and Ruo.

Yes, Grandpa and Auntie are the only two decent characters in POMA... It's going to really hurt me when I finally get to kill him and the other Shangtians to get to NS.

you.....MONSTER!

Anyway, maybe give us something like eating TW's remains or something like that. Give LB Ai's physique and let us bang her so we can jump straight to CF. Even better give it to the moon goddess so we can become an immortal in one fell swoop, if the physique works that way that is.

Can you/have you posted this beta version here? I wouldn't mind trying it out myself even if it's buggy
Of course. You have to start from the beginning. Here:


I recommend you don't waste your time playing Mortal, just play Heavenly to try it out and don't stress yourself out. If you can, use stats.difficulty="99" in the console, go overboard and be happy.

... Or wait... it's very likely that another beta will come out today or tomorrow, this one with the arena fights.

There's one that's obvious to see, no? And it's arguably a faster one too. Killing actual cultivators to steal their Qi and refine their body.

If Prime Yichen, the strongest being in PoMA's world (barring Tang Wei), is only on the ballpark of average CF, the only threat for MC (which we will low ball as an average CF rather than a genius) when we reach that stage would only be... Other CFs. And CF is a stage that we get to play in, rather than NS which would most probably just be an epilogue.

Slaughtering a CF should probably nets you more than a Shangtian, way more. So you can just spare Gramps. Tang Wei's plan was made without factoring the possibility of other cultivators being inside the Qi barren world of PoMA, after all.

Butterfly was already active by that time period
