This was the situation Lu Changqing had been anticipating.
One day, as Lu Changqing was savoring immortal tea served by a fairy maiden, he suddenly heard a system notification:
Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully consuming one trillion Merit points, achieving 1% of the task progress. Reward: One Mysterious Grand Gift Package!
Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing almost spat out his tea.
He had painstakingly made all beings in the Primordial World serve him, yet it had only consumed one percent of his Merit? He then thought about it and felt relieved. It would only take another ninety-nine thousand years to consume it all.
Compared to the vastness of time that spanned hundreds of millions of years, a hundred thousand years was but a fleeting moment.
Time was the one thing the Primordial World had in abundance.
Moreover, with a Mysterious Grand Gift Package as compensation, it somewhat soothed his wounded heart.
He recalled that the beginner's gift package the system had first given him was filled with rare treasures. This mysterious grand gift package should be no less impressive.
With a thought, he opened the gift package.
Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Chaos spiritual root: One Primordial Shore Flower!
Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Chaos Supreme Treasure: One Chaos Bead!
Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Chaos treasure: One portion of Chaos Creation Divine Marrow!
As soon as the notification sounds ended, Lu Changqing excitedly leaped from his throne.
As expected of a spendthrift system, its generosity was truly astounding.
Last time it gave him a Primordial Supreme Treasure, and this time it directly bestowed a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
What surprised him the most was the Primordial Shore Flower.
This flower not only contained a strand of Primordial Violet Qi but could also generate a new strand every thousand years.
With this, his plan to create a Saint now had hope!
Primordial Violet Qi was a coveted opportunity even for Saints.
For those with deep foundations like Zhen Yuanzi and Ming He, all they lacked was a catalyst.
If they could obtain Primordial Violet Qi, achieving Dao and becoming a Saint would be just around the corner!
Next, he examined the description of the Chaos Bead.
This was the only complete Chaos Supreme Treasure in the Primordial World, containing a world of chaos within and possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities.
It contained two great Spiritual Powers: the Chaos Tribulation Light, which could return heaven and earth to nothingness, and the Dao Guards Heavenly Origin, which could control all laws.
Even more marvelous was that the Chaos Bead could nurture spiritual roots, enhance their grade, and even revert acquired spiritual roots to their innate state.
Although it could only accommodate at most one hundred acquired spiritual roots or ten innate spiritual roots, it was already heaven-defying.
"With this Supreme Treasure, the foundation for establishing a sect is complete," Lu Changqing could not hide his joy.
Finally, he looked at the Primordial Creation Divine Marrow: consuming it could transform one's origin and evolve the Purple Mansion.
Seeing the words "transform one's origin," Lu Changqing's eyes lit up.
Such an item that reshaped one's origin was extremely rare in the world.
He dismissed the fairy maidens and refined the divine marrow alone.
Instantly, prophecies of the Three Thousand Laws surrounded him, and supreme majesty permeated the air.
Within his Purple Mansion, myriad acupoints evolved into worlds, shining brilliantly.
Primordial Supreme Qi surged towards the heavens.
As he underwent transformation, Lu Changqing's realm ascended accordingly.
Thunder rumbled within his body, the Three Thousand Laws intertwined, and divine patterns of the Great Dao coiled around him.
Endless golden lotuses of law bloomed, their light illuminating the world.
The River of Time appeared, the River of Space-Time emerged, and the light of countless stars descended.
The aura of a peak Quasi-Saint swept across Wuji Heaven.
After the transformation was complete, Lu Changqing observed himself internally and found that his foundation had advanced from a top-tier Chaos Demon God to the Primordial Supreme Realm.
Primordial Supreme... Was this a realm that surpassed Pangu? Although he had never heard of such a foundation, the two words already indicated its superiority over Chaos Demon Gods.
Although the difference in sensation was not significant—after all, his original foundation was already at the pinnacle of the Primordial World—he was still satisfied.
Lu Changqing still had no intention of cultivating, only wishing to live a leisurely life, squandering trillions of assets to achieve the Great Dao Saint realm.
Even with such laziness, the Primordial Creation Art within his body was still operating on its own, evolving nascent forms of the Three Thousand Laws.
After reviewing everything, he couldn't help but recall the years of diligent cultivation before he obtained the system, and he sighed softly:
"Such a leisurely life is truly intoxicating!"
Just at this moment, East King Duke and the other two, who had been walking for eleven hundred years without stopping, entered the Longevity Hall.
They happened to overhear Lu Changqing's sigh.
Hearing it made the three of them feel their blood surge.
He wished he could smash himself into the Golden Light of Merit pillar in the hall on the spot.
Listen!
What kind of talk is that?
Just as the three of them were secretly complaining, they suddenly felt something strange.
They immediately cried out in surprise:
Quasi-Saint peak?
They couldn't understand it no matter how hard they thought.
How long has it been, and the Great Master's cultivation has improved so much.
They still remembered when they first met, the Great Master was only at the Great Luo realm.
In the blink of an eye, he had become a top existence in the Primordial World.
Amidst their shock, they remembered the sigh from just now.
They immediately froze on the spot.
These words were truly infuriating!
While the East King Duke and the other two were in utter shock, Lu Changqing also discovered them.
He frowned and asked:
Why have you come in instead of distributing Merit outside?
Upon hearing this, the three immediately snapped back to reality.
They quickly put on distressed expressions.
They complained, almost with tears streaming down their faces:
Great Master, there are only the three of us.
Innumerable beings come to exchange Merit every day.
We have been working continuously for eleven hundred years without rest!
If this continues, even a Quasi-Saint cannot endure it!
Lu Changqing listened and deeply agreed.
The beings in the Primordial World were endless. If it continued like this, let alone a thousand years, it would be difficult to catch a breath even in ten thousand years.
"What you say makes sense."
Lu Changqing nodded and, after a moment of thought, said:
Why not let the Heavenly Dao distribute the Merit on our behalf?
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them felt as if struck by lightning.
What? Did they hear correctly?
Let the Heavenly Dao distribute Merit?
The Heavenly Dao's assistance before was already a tremendous favor.
Now they wanted the Heavenly Dao to handle such trivial matters?
What did they take the Heavenly Dao for?
How could they be so disrespectful!
Seeing the three of them dumbfounded, Lu Changqing looked puzzled: What's wrong with that?
Anyway, the Heavenly Dao's Merit is not as much as mine. If it doesn't agree, I'll just bombard it with Merit until it does!
Although no one had ever seen the true form of the Heavenly Dao, nor did they know if it had a physical form.
Lu Changqing was certain that as long as there was a sentient being in the Primordial World, they would be convinced by the immeasurable Merit.
Hearing these words, the three of them were completely petrified.
The Great Master truly dared to think!
Bombard the Heavenly Dao with Merit?
This was no longer a wild idea, it was simply forcing the issue!
Perhaps even Pangu couldn't have predicted, After the creation of heaven and earth, That such an extraordinary person would emerge!
Lu Changqing, unaware of the three's shock, Stepped out of Wuji Heaven.
The East King Duke and the other two exchanged glances and followed closely behind.
They wondered what his intentions were.
Could he really be planning to shatter the Heavenly Dao?
Exiting Wuji Heaven, they saw a vast, endless expanse of living beings.
All were lining up to receive Merit.
At the same time, The beings also spotted Lu Changqing.
Instantly, a thunderous roar erupted:
"Greetings, Longevity Immortal Venerable!"
As the cheers echoed through the heavens.
The Six Saints also appeared, witnessing this grand spectacle, their hearts surging with emotion.
After this distribution of Merit, their cultivation would advance greatly.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but show their joy.
Lu Changqing looked down at the beings, a look of satisfaction on his face.
This was all fertile ground he had cultivated!
The future Great Dao would still depend on them.
He let out a soft laugh and said loudly:
"Since the inception of the creation rules, the beings have been enthusiastic, and my heart is greatly pleased.
However, the beings of the Primordial World are immeasurable, and those exchanging for Merit are endless.
Wuji Heaven has limited manpower and can hardly sustain this—"
Before he could finish speaking, the beings erupted in an uproar.
"Cannot be distributed? Could it be that the Immortal Venerable's Merit is insufficient?"
"Absolutely not! We exhausted our hearts and souls in creation, how could the Immortal Venerable break his promise!"
The Six Saints were also filled with surprise and uncertainty.
The creation of all beings indeed consumed an astonishing amount of Merit.
They wondered if Lu Changqing could sustain it.
Amidst the clamor, Lu Changqing calmly revealed his immeasurable Golden Light of Merit.
The dazzling radiance silenced the beings.
After they quieted down, he said indifferently:
"My Merit is immeasurable; even creating for another hundred thousand years would suffice!
Today, I wish to invite the Heavenly Dao to distribute the Merit on my behalf."
This statement shocked all the beings.
"Invite the Heavenly Dao to distribute Merit?"
"What kind of logic is that?"
"How can the Heavenly Dao be commanded at will?"
"Previously, the Heavenly Dao's protection was understandable.
After all, Lu Changqing bore great Merit.
But asking the Heavenly Dao to handle such trivial matters was truly inconceivable."
The Grand Pure One Laozi asked in surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Changqing, is this action not inappropriate?
The Heavenly Dao is supreme; how can it be bothered with mundane affairs?"
In the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao was originally the supreme ruler, indifferent and emotionless.
To actually invite such an existence?
It was truly hard to imagine.
All the Saints looked at Lu Changqing with disbelief.
They all thought he had gone mad.
Lu Changqing scratched his head apologetically and chuckled, "What's the harm in trying? Maybe it'll work!"
The masses erupted in uproar once more.
You can ask the Heavenly Dao to do things... and try it?
Upon hearing this, the East King Duke and the other two retreated several miles in silence.
It's best to stay far away when someone says things like that.
Lest you get caught in the crossfire when the lightning strikes.
Lu Changqing paid them no mind.
He tilted his head towards the sky and declared loudly, "Heavenly Dao above, I, Longevity Immortal Venerable, have something to discuss!"
Seeing him genuinely call out to the Heavenly Dao, the masses immediately became a frenzy.
Is he crazy? That's the supreme Heavenly Dao!
Longevity Immortal Venerable is so arrogant! Such a summons will surely bring heavenly retribution!
The Six Saints, upon witnessing this, could not help but show expressions of shock.
Though they were revered as supreme beings in the Primordial World, in the face of the Heavenly Dao, they were no more than slightly stronger ants.
And yet, someone weaker than them
dared to provoke the Heavenly Dao in such a manner?
This was no longer mere audacity; it was outright self-destruction.
Longevity Immortal Venerable, this action is truly reckless!
How can the supreme Heavenly Dao tolerate such an offense?
Sect Master Tongtian instantly retreated ten thousand miles, shaking his head and sighing.
The other five Saints also retreated one after another.
That was the Heavenly Dao.
A supreme existence that even Saints must bow to, capable of destroying Saints as easily as crushing ants.
They too feared being caught in the crossfire if Lu Changqing were struck by lightning.
Deep within Chaos, in the Purple Heaven Palace.
Hongjun observed the events in the Primordial World with his divine sense.
Seeing Lu Changqing's actions, he showed a surprised expression, "Why is Fellow Daoist Changqing doing this?
Does he perhaps wish to challenge the Heavenly Dao and rise above it?
A foolish fantasy!
How can the supreme Heavenly Dao tolerate a mere Quasi-Saint's presumption?"
Just as Hongjun was pondering this, under the shocked gazes of all beings, within the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao manifested.
Endless heavenly might swept across the Primordial World, its pressure vast and boundless.
Above the firmament, a corner of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel appeared.
This single corner was enough to blot out the sun and the sky, its power terrifying.
It was hard to imagine what it would be like if it were to fully manifest.
One must know that the weakest manifestation of the Heavenly Dao is the Heavenly Tribulation, and a stronger one is the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.
But this Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel is the core of the Heavenly Dao's order, the most terrifying!
Now, with its appearance, all beings trembled, the weak being directly crushed to their knees, quivering.
Even the great powers of the Primordial World retreated one after another.
All believed the Heavenly Dao was enraged.
It's over, Fellow Daoist Changqing is surely doomed!
The Two Saints of the West gazed at the sky-obscuring Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel, shaking their heads and sighing.
They lamented not Lu Changqing's impending death, but the hopelessness of the West's rise.
The other Saints also shook their heads.
Angering the supreme Heavenly Dao meant certain annihilation.
Those who bring ruin upon themselves cannot live!
The Grand Pure One Laozi also sighed and shook his head.
In Purple Heaven Palace, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel.
Beyond his shock, he also concluded Lu Changqing was doomed.
After all, the Heavenly Dao was supreme; even he, its spokesperson, dared not offend it.
How dare you, a mere Quasi-Saint of Merit, provoke the Heavenly Dao?
Is the Heavenly Dao your biological son or something?
Just as Hongjun found Lu Changqing ridiculous, Just as all beings thought Lu Changqing was doomed, The Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel actually evolved into a bridge of golden light, slowly extending to Lu Changqing's feet.
This was clearly the Heavenly Dao showing goodwill, Indicating its agreement to negotiate with Lu Changqing!
At this moment, all beings were stunned.
Hongjun was also dumbfounded.
What was going on?
The Heavenly Dao actually agreed?
Even I, as its spokesperson, don't get this treatment. Why should he, a mere Quasi-Saint?
Is he really the Heavenly Dao's biological father?
At this moment, across the vast Primordial World, for countless beings.
The phenomenon they witnessed was like a celestial river pouring down, continuous and unending.
At the peak of the heavens!
As if the Primordial Chaos had just opened, a chaotic pressure descended upon the world.
As myriad dao rhymes flowed, a corner of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel appeared.
Instantly!
Morning light rained down, all beings sang in unison, bathed in radiant light, and immense heavenly might descended!
The Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel itself had arrived!
The world trembled, and all beings knelt in submission!
Revering the majesty of the Heavenly Dao.
Though the Witch Clan's Twelve Ancestral Witches claimed to disrespect heaven and earth, Under such heavenly might that enveloped the eight directions, Even the Ancestral Witches showed fear.
Is this the supreme Heavenly Dao?
It's tens of thousands of times more terrifying than a Saint!
Di Jiang exclaimed in horror.
When facing Hongjun, they still dared to fight with their lives.
However, facing the Heavenly Dao, They didn't even have the courage to resist.
The Demon Clan's demons also trembled under the heavenly might at this moment.
Who exactly is the Longevity Immortal Venerable? To make the Heavenly Dao show such deference?
Di Jun's face was filled with shock.
Tai Yi, seeing the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel, was equally terrified.
This was the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel.
It had never appeared in the world since the Primordial Chaos opened.
Zhen Yuanzi, as an ancient great power, had never witnessed such a heavenly phenomenon in his life.
