From the Mortal Realm all the way through, whoever committed significant sins, whether or not on Wang Xu's task list, was killed without exception.
These are all merits.
In the Mortal Realm, great merit represents great fortune, receiving the favor of the heavens. Conversely, significant sin would distort the mind and invite inner demons, causing one to fall into Purgatory, entangled by karmic retribution, with the Karma Lock securing their fate. Once dead, their soul will be directly cast into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, unable to reincarnate for eternity.
Although Wang Xu is not of the Mortal Realm, the fortune added by great merit made his missions in the Mortal Realm much smoother.
