But dominance and heat are not the full visage of the sun.
As Shi Chengyi said:
"The Sun Path has two sides."
"One side burns away all gloom and darkness, the other side illuminates all things, bestowing grace upon the world."
When Fang Cheng killed the malevolent Xuan Zhen, those souls imprisoned for countless ages were thus liberated.
Before they dissipated, they harbored the purest thoughts of gratitude and liberation towards this "Liberator," converging into an enormously vast Wish Power.
This Wish Power differs from the Spiritual Energy gained from the consciousness of worshipers.
From a metaphysical perspective, it should be defined more as "Merit," or positive karmic force.
It is more pure and creative than the typical "worship wish power" of believers, precisely serving as the best catalyst for granting the world "vitality."
And precisely because of this, there came a gentle rain lasting over ten hours.
