System's New Reward! All Things Affinity Talent!

"Etc!"

Lin Shen's voice was very soft, like a child's voice.

"You four, don't eat yet!"

But the moment that sound faded, it was as if all sound and light had been sucked away from the Kunlun Mountain Peak.

Time and space were both paused at this moment by an invisible force.

The four powerful beings who had just made up their minds and were preparing to ascend to the heavens in one step were frozen in time, their movements becoming four comical and desperate sculptures.

The Ancestor Minghe's mouth gaped open, frozen in mid-air.

A single, glistening drop of saliva hung precariously from the corner of his mouth, reflecting the collapsing Sea of Blood World within his primordial spirit.

The giant maw of the Old Ancestor Kunpeng, which was about to devour the purple energy, froze halfway open, its expression one of astonishment, like a foolish bird whose neck had been grabbed.

Both Jieyin and Zhunti lost their Dao Heart resolve.

Those two already suffering faces seemed to be instantly filled with three thousand "sorrows," so bitter they could drip with bitter bile.

It's over!

My Little Ancestor is really going to change her mind!

At the same moment, the four most supreme Dao Heart of the Primordial World uttered a mournful cry of shattering.

Too.

The "talent show" we just did was a complete disaster; it was a total blunder.

The Little Ancestor didn't fancy any of them.

To be able to receive this "washed" purple aura is already an immense blessing, as if one's ancestral graves had been blown up into a galaxy.

How could they possibly let us use it so easily?

There must be additional conditions!

In that instant, countless terrifying possibilities flashed through the minds of the four people.

Are we supposed to go sweep toilets at the Kunlun Mountain for ten thousand years?

Or should we hand over all the wealth we've accumulated over millions of years to our Little Ancestor to play with as marbles?

Or perhaps...

The thought of Zhunti's ruthlessness in tearing them in two sent shivers down the spines of both Minghe and Kunpeng, their very souls growing cold.

Minghe subconsciously glanced at his Yuantu Abi Twin Swords.

If this melts, should I give the Little Ancestor a chamber pot, or peel an apple core? Which one shows more sincerity?

Kunpeng touched the few shinies on its body with a heavy heart.

If I pluck them all, will there be enough to make a feather duster for my Little Ancestor? Will he dislike it because of the stray feathers?

Just as the four were trembling Divine Soul, almost collapsing and disintegrating on the spot.

Hongjun Daozu finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He hugged Lin Shen, affectionately rubbed his cheek against his little head, and asked softly, "Little Lin Shen, why won't you let these grandfathers eat 'earthworms'?"

"Because..."

Lin Shen tilted his head, his big eyes filled with pure self-righteousness.

"They haven't played with Lin Shen yet!"

"I promised to invite lots and lots of people to play with me."

"We've found everyone, and we haven't even had a chance to play yet. How can we eat delicious food first?"

The little guy's logic is simple and pure, yet it contains profound truths.

Upon hearing this statement...

The four powerful beings who were ready to give up everything were instantly petrified.

The collapsing world within the primordial spirit stopped.

The reason for not allowing us to eat...

It turns out it's just because... I haven't played with him yet?

Is it really that simple?!

The four of them looked up abruptly, their eyes meeting in mid-air. They all saw in each other's eyes the overwhelming joy of escaping death, almost to the point of tears!

It's not about taking back the purple aura!

We're not asked to castrate ourselves!

They just want us... to play with them?!

This isn't just an additional condition! This is clearly the most blissful imperial decree in the world!

"This disciple is willing! This disciple is more than willing to play with my Little Ancestor!"

The Ancestor Minghe was the first to roar out. He slammed the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords into the ground with a clang, his face filled with unprecedented fawning and fanaticism.

"My Little Ancestor, what would you like to play? The murder mystery game? Your disciple is an expert! I guarantee you'll have a blast!"

"This disciple can do it too! This disciple can do it too!" Old Ancestor Kunpeng, afraid of falling behind, hurriedly declared, "This disciple is fast enough to play hide-and-seek with the Little Ancestor! This disciple guarantees that you can catch me when you want to, and when you don't want to, this disciple can run ten laps around the Primordial World!"

Jieyin and Zhunti were so excited that they trembled all over and could barely speak.

"Young friend! This humble Daoist priest... this humble Daoist priest can tell stories! Those Western stories about debtors being beaten to death for not paying their debts are quite fascinating!"

"Young friend! This humble Daoist priest can also chant scriptures! My newly created 'Sutra of Merit' will make you happy all day long if you recite it just once!"

Four top-tier powerhouses, whose mere stomp could shake the Primordial World, have once again engaged in a fierce and utterly shameless competition for the right to "play with" others.

Seeing this absurd scene, the Three Pure Ones and the others were completely speechless.

They understood.

From this day forward, the Primordial World style of art is destined to be gone forever.

From now on, the greeting between powerful beings will no longer be, "Fellow Daoist, have you made any progress today?"

Instead, it was—"Fellow Daoist, did you draw a number for a gaming companion today?"

"Alright, alright."

Hongjun looked at the four guys who were about to fight over favor and waved his hand with a smile.

He turned to Lin Shen and, in a persuasive tone, said patiently, "Little Lin Shen, look, these grandfathers are all very sincere."

"Why don't we let them eat the 'earthworm' first? Only when they're full can they become even stronger."

"When they get better, they can play even more fun and exciting games with you, okay?"

The Primordial Violet Qi is ultimately the foundation of the Great Dao; leaving it in their hands for too long could lead to unforeseen complications.

This was Hongjun's consideration.

Lin Shen listened and felt that his grandfather was absolutely right!

Yes!

The more skilled the grandpas become, the more challenging games they can play with me!

Could that dark-skinned grandpa transform his little sword into something as big and bright as Third Master's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and even turn it into a roller coaster?

Does that giant bird grandpa fly faster than light and take me to the Chaos to catch stars?

Thinking of this, Lin Shen nodded vigorously, his big eyes shining.

"Okay! Then you guys eat up!"

He waved his hand at the four men like a little emperor and issued an imperial edict.

"After you finish eating, you're going to become super, super awesome!"

"Then, I'll play the most fun games with Lin Shen!"

"Yes! Your disciple obeys!"

The four men who received the "imperial decree" were overjoyed, as if they had been granted a pardon. They were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes, and they wished they could kowtow to Lin Shen on the spot.

They dared not hesitate any longer, and one by one they followed the example of the Yin-Yang Ancestor, opening their mouths wide and swallowing the Chaos Primordial Violet Qi into their bellies!

However, at the very moment the purple aura entered his abdomen...

However, the four of them, without prior arrangement, made a decision that surprised everyone.

They did not immediately activate the purple energy to challenge for the holy position.

Instead, he forcefully suppressed the overwhelming Daoist energy within his body that was about to explode, using all his cultivation to firmly suppress that Primordial Violet Qi deep within his primordial spirit!

"Um?"

Hongjun raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of surprise.

Why don't you attain enlightenment?

The Ancestor Minghe was the first to bow and answer, his face displaying a solemnity more focused than when he was killing someone.

"Reporting to the Dao Ancestor! Although this disciple has received the grace of the Little Ancestor, I feel that my understanding of the Dao of 'play' is still shallow!"

"This disciple intends to... return to the Blood Sea first, and go into seclusion to study how to create a 'toy' that will satisfy the Little Ancestor. When the time is right, I will then pursue the path to enlightenment!"

Minghe was hatching a massive scheme in his mind.

He understood: Qiankun was proving "food," and Yin Yang was proving "principle"—both were to please the Little Ancestor!

What is Minghe's greatest skill? Slaughter!

What he seeks to prove is undoubtedly the "Dao of Slaughter"!

But he couldn't directly kill living beings, that would displease his Little Ancestor.

Therefore, he wanted to create a perfect race that was both aggressive and resilient, capable of resurrecting after death, specifically for his Little Ancestor to play "war games" with!

Yes! Let's call him... Asura!

It sounds both fierce and funny!

The Old Ancestor Kunpeng echoed, "This disciple shares the same sentiment! This disciple wishes to first survey the primordial Primordial World, to find the most suitable route for racing... no, for leisurely travel. Once my Dao Heart and my 'playful' heart are united, then I will proceed to attain enlightenment!"

Kunpeng's thoughts were even more straightforward.

He realized that proving the Way was not the goal; the key was what kind of Way to prove!

Kunpeng is known for its speed and freedom.

What he wants to prove is not some bullshit "Flight Saint" or "Escape Saint"!

What he wants to prove is becoming the number one "Mount Saint" in the Primordial World! The supreme and carefree Dao that can take his Little Ancestor to the heavens and the earth, and roam freely in the Chaos!

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, their pained faces suddenly lighting up with wisdom, and they spoke in unison.

"Reporting to the Dao Ancestor, my Western Paradise is barren and not very fun. This disciple wishes to return to the West first and renovate it. Once my merits... no, once my 'fun factor' is perfected, I will request your guidance, Little Ancestor, and then I will proceed to attain enlightenment!"

Their ideas were the most ambitious.

Now, those who are proving the Way are just two lone commanders of Sage.

No!

They want to go back and transform the entire West into a super "Theme Park" paved with gold, adorned with trees of seven treasures, Golden Light of Merit!

Then, we'll invite our Little Ancestor to their place for the "ribbon-cutting ceremony" to open the garden.

Wouldn't the fortune that comes after attaining enlightenment transform into a golden ocean, rolling in endlessly?

The four people's choices once again surprised everyone.

However, Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, and others all showed approving looks.

These four guys, though each one was incredibly shrewd in their calculations, ultimately found the right direction.

The holy throne is no longer the end.

The key is to leverage one's position as a saint to secure an irreplaceable core role in the future "playmate" landscape of the Primordial World.

The key to all of this points to that little guy who was happily munching on a strawberry candy.

"Good."

Hongjun nodded slightly and said no more.

He knew that a completely new era, an era in which everything was determined by his grandson's preferences, had fully arrived.

And just then...

That familiar mechanical voice exploded in Lin Shen's mind once again.

[Bite!]

[The host has been detected to have overturned the existing logic of sainthood in the Primordial World, creating six 'Free Saint' and fundamentally reshaping the top-level combat power structure of the Primordial World!]
