Heavenly Dao Brother, Since You've Allowed Me Entry

"Brother Heavenly Dao, since you've allowed me entry, you've implicitly agreed to help me distribute Merit.

I'll trouble you with the rest."

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment offered no response, continuing its silent gaze, and the tremor of before did not reappear.

Lu Changqing paid it no mind, merely taking it as Heavenly Dao's tacit approval.

He raised a hand and waved, unleashing a hundred trillion Merit. Golden light instantly illuminated the darkness, even causing the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to momentarily blink in its brilliance.

Putting away the golden light, Lu Changqing chuckled.

"It's not much Merit, merely a hundred trillion.

I'll leave it with you for now, Brother, please distribute it on my behalf!"

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment, its vision blurred by the golden light moments before, now saw a hundred trillion Merit piled before it. Its eyes went blank.

Good heavens!

A hundred trillion Merit?

The previous trillion Merit had already shaken the Primordial World, even causing the Heavenly Dao's divine wheel to pause.

And now, he casually produced another hundred trillion?

And called it "not much"?

If this was considered not much, what was Heavenly Dao then? A beggar?

Lu Changqing's Merit originated from his system, which Heavenly Dao could not trace.

If it had known that this hundred trillion was merely one-tenth of his total Merit, it would have likely crashed on the spot.

Though the Eye of Heavenly Punishment couldn't fathom Lu Changqing's background, it quickly reacted after its brief stupor.

With a gentle blink, the Heavenly Dao void rumbled, and the vast starry sky shook.

Amidst the roaring sounds of space-time, a divine staff was brought before Lu Changqing by the power of Heavenly Dao.

Lu Changqing looked up. The divine staff was enveloped by Heavenly Dao's order, exuding supreme majesty. As its radiance flowed, the staff's Dao patterns and light intertwined.

At the same time, that familiar Heavenly Dao tremor returned.

Though he didn't understand Heavenly Dao's words, the intent directly reached his mind—

Heavenly Dao wished for him to replace Hongjun as the new spokesperson and bestowed this Heavenly Dao Divine Staff upon him.

This staff held control over a significant portion of Heavenly Dao's authority, allowing the wielder to summon calamities, bestow punishments, and even modify parts of Heavenly Dao's order at will.

As Heavenly Dao conveyed its intent, Hongjun, who was waiting in Purple霄 Palace, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, a sense of inexplicable crisis surging.

He murmured, "How could this be? Where is this sense of crisis coming from?"

He immediately attempted to divine the cause but found nothing.

The heavenly secrets had long since shifted in Lu Changqing's favor; how could Hongjun possibly uncover them?

Furthermore, after his previous deduction that Lu Changqing had suffered backlash from the Great Dao, he dared not forcefully pry into the heavenly secrets.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment looked at Lu Changqing with a smile, awaiting his consent.

After all, this was the position of Heavenly Dao's spokesperson, and the unprecedented bestowal of a divine staff with authority far exceeding that of Hongjun's puppet body.

With such conditions, what being in the Primordial World would refuse?

However, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment's smugness didn't last long before Lu Changqing waved his hand with a look of disdain.

"Brother, you've got it wrong, haven't you?

I call you brother, yet you want me to be your junior?

Doesn't that mess up the seniority?

Keep the spokesperson position for your puppet!"

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment went blank again.

The spokesperson of Heavenly Dao, holding real power, had been refused?

Heavenly Dao was utterly bewildered.

Lu Changqing's reason was simple: once he depleted his Merit, he would become a Great Dao Saint, surpassing Heavenly Dao.

As it stood, Heavenly Dao could still be considered his peer. In the future, it would merely be a junior brother.

However, he glanced at the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, casually took it, and played with it for a moment.

"This thing is quite nice; I'll take it.

As for the junior brother position, let Hongjun continue!"

With that, disregarding the dumbfounded look on the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, Lu Changqing picked up the staff and prepared to leave.

Halfway there, he suddenly turned back, his expression serious as he issued a warning.

"There's one thing you must remember, Brother! From now on, when distributing Merit, you must use the ones I've left here."

"If you dare not use it, I will truly get angry."

"If I get angry, I won't bother opening up a great world in the Primordial World anymore."

This was practically a *** threat.

But Lu Changqing was certain that the Heavenly Dao could do nothing to him, so he spoke his mind without reservation.

He didn't care what the Heavenly Dao did; he just wanted to spend his trillions of Merit as quickly as possible.

His cooperation with the Heavenly Dao was merely for convenience.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment gazed at Lu Changqing's receding back, momentarily bewildered.

The dignified Heavenly Dao was actually being threatened for "saving someone money"?

It was utterly absurd!

Looking across the Primordial World, only such a peculiar existence could perform such an act.

What was even more frustrating was that the Heavenly Dao was powerless to do anything about it.

After Lu Changqing departed, a faint tremor echoed from the depths of the starry sky, like the Heavenly Dao's muttered words:

"I have existed for endless years, and I have never seen such a strange person!"

Lu Changqing was unaware that he had pushed the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to the point of silently complaining.

He gripped the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff and reappeared in the world of the Primordial World.

All beings, seeing him unharmed, were first startled, then felt the supreme heavenly might emanating from the scepter. Though they didn't know its origin, they dared not underestimate it.

The Six Saints, however, recognized the item.

The Grand Pure One Laozi exclaimed in disbelief: "This... could this be the Divine Staff that represents the authority of the Heavenly Dao?"

Even their teacher, Hongjun, the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, had never wielded this item. How could Lu Changqing, who was merely a Quasi-Saint, obtain it? It was truly inconceivable.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate was equally shocked: "Could Fellow Daoist Changqing have replaced our master and become the new spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao?"

Beings below the Saint level were all like ants. If Lu Changqing hadn't possessed profound fortune, he would have been just one of them.

Now, this individual might be the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao; it was utterly absurd.

Sect Master Tongtian, with his straightforward nature, stepped forward and asked directly: "Fellow Daoist Changqing, you emerged holding the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff. Have you replaced the Dao Ancestor and become the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes were fixed, and the crowd held their breath.

The position of spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao was extremely noble, second only to the Heavenly Dao itself.

Lu Changqing replied calmly: "Oh, the Heavenly Dao did indeed have this intention, asking me to be its spokesperson and giving me this staff. But I refused. If I truly became its spokesperson, the seniority would be messed up."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

He... refused the position of spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao?

Just because he was afraid of messing up the seniority?

This was no different from admitting it! The Heavenly Dao must be your good son!!!

The Saints gazed at the Divine Staff, their eyes filled with jealousy. Their hearts itched uncontrollably. But what could they do? Even if Lu Changqing wasn't the spokesperson, since the Heavenly Dao had bestowed the Divine Staff upon him, they dared not make any rash moves.

Any wicked thought would immediately bring down heavenly lightning.

Furthermore, Lu Changqing was protected by the Heavenly Dao. If they dared to snatch it, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment would lock onto them instantly. No matter what Saint you were, you would turn to ash in an instant.

"Truly worthy of being the Longevity Immortal Venerable!"

The Two Saints of the West recovered their senses and sighed repeatedly as they looked at Lu Changqing. Now, holding the staff, Lu Changqing was worthy of them addressing him by his Dharma name.

The other four Saints' gazes towards him also changed.

Lu Changqing paid no mind to the change in address. His gaze swept over the beings gathered outside Wuji Heaven, and he smiled:

"Everyone, please be quiet."

As soon as the voice fell, the clamor stopped.

Everyone wanted to know what Longevity Immortal Venerable had discussed with the Heavenly Dao.

After the quiet, Lu Changqing announced:

"This Venerable has already discussed with Brother Heavenly Dao. From now on, after you all create worlds, you only need to invite the Heavenly Dao to bear witness to obtain Merit."

All beings were greatly shocked.

"Is it true or false? Longevity Immortal Venerable can actually make the Heavenly Dao work for free?"

"As expected, only Longevity Immortal Venerable can do it!"

The Six Saints were also stunned into numbness.

Refusing to be a spokesperson was one thing, fearing it would disrupt seniority. But to get a divine staff for free, and now to have the Heavenly Dao work for him without charge?

Deep in the chaos, in the Purple Heaven Palace.

Hongjun, who had been paying attention to this matter, had eyes red with jealousy.

He was the legitimate spokesperson.

Lu Changqing actually obtained the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, which even he didn't have?

It made him feel like a spare tire.

He did all the dirty and tiring work.

And all the benefits went to Lu Changqing?

What was even more infuriating was that the Heavenly Dao even wanted Lu Changqing to replace him?

Did he, the Xuanmen Dao Ancestor and teacher of Saints, have no dignity?

Hongjun was filled with indignation.

He immediately questioned the Heavenly Dao:

"I am your spokesperson, acting on your behalf to manage the order of the Primordial World. Why does Lu Changqing, a mere Quasi-Saint, have a divine staff, while I do not?"

Still not appeased, he continued to complain:

"Since Lu Changqing can have one, I should have one too! The Heavenly Dao Void should also be open to me!"

However, this plea was not recognized.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, he was just an unqualified spokesperson.

Over the long years, this spokesperson's performance had disappointed the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao wanted the Primordial World to prosper.

Hongjun had failed to achieve this.

A moment later, the Heavenly Dao responded.

Hongjun had initially believed that with his status and hard work, he would definitely receive the same treatment.

But after hearing the reply, his mentality instantly collapsed.

The Heavenly Dao's reply was simple and brutal—

Hongjun's face turned ashen.

He had already anticipated this outcome.

Although he had merged with the Dao, he had not succeeded completely.

Therefore, he had plotted against the Witch and Demon tribes, intending to make them both suffer losses, weaken the Heavenly Dao, and find an opportunity to completely merge with the Dao.

But Lu Changqing's appearance had foiled his plan.

Hongjun could only watch helplessly as Lu Changqing flaunted the divine staff he had dreamed of.

With a sigh, the craze for creation in the Primordial World continued because of Lu Changqing.

As time flowed by.

Zhen Yuanzi created a middle-thousand world within a great-thousand world. Seeing that the order was well-established and full of vitality, he decided to announce it to the Heavenly Dao:

"I, Zhen Yuanzi, am now creating a middle-thousand world, named the Cangxuan Realm. I hope the Heavenly Dao will witness it."

After speaking, he anxiously looked up at the sky.

Although he knew Lu Changqing had an agreement with the Heavenly Dao, he was, after all, not Lu Changqing, and he was afraid of being struck by heavenly lightning.

Just as he was filled with dread, ten thousand miles of auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and the Golden Light of Merit descended.

All beings looked up, and Zhen Yuanzi was extremely excited.

Afterward, Ming He also announced:

"I, Ming He, am now creating a middle-thousand world, named the Blood Fiend Realm. I hope the Heavenly Dao will witness it!"

Rays of auspicious clouds reappeared, and a golden rain of merit descended.

Following this, great powers such as Di Jun and Houtu successively obtained merit.

For a time, golden rain fell continuously across the Primordial World, leaving all beings mesmerized.

The million guards of Wuji Heaven gazed up at the firmament, seeing a magnificent scene of brilliant, dazzling golden light of merit filling the sky—this was the majestic spectacle created by the master of Wuji Heaven, to whom they were loyal.

Lu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, watching the golden light and rain sprinkle across the Primordial World, a satisfied curve forming at the corner of his mouth:

The Heavenly Dao bestows merit, truly a spectacle of myriad forms!

Seeing that the guards, having diligently performed their duties for thousands of years, had met the standard for system rewards, he waved his sleeve and produced a million units of merit:

"You have guarded Wuji Heaven for thousands of years, your diligence and responsibility have not gone unnoticed by me.

This million units of merit shall serve as a reward."

The golden light of merit rained down upon the million heavenly soldiers, and the entire Wuji Heaven immediately erupted in earth-shattering cheers:

"Thank you, Great Master, for your grace!"

Lu Changqing now no longer cared about a million units of merit, but even a mosquito's leg is still meat:

"Not bad, another expenditure completed."

East King Duke and the others, who stood by his side, were already accustomed to this.

Ever since the start of the All-People Creation Plan, a million units of merit was but a drop in the bucket.

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changqing spent his days wandering and enjoying himself, yet due to his extraordinary innate foundation, his cultivation continued to grow naturally. This made East King Duke and the other two envious, and they secretly wondered what kind of divine being this Great Master was, to be able to improve his realm while lying down.

At this moment, atop a certain immortal mountain, six Saints were resting and discussing the Dao.

Although the creation of great worlds had depleted their origins, the merit from the Heavenly Dao compensated for it, so it was not a major issue.

The Saints' pace of creating worlds never stopped.

Laozi's cultivation had already reached the eighth heaven of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Nuwa followed closely behind, reaching the seventh heaven realm.

Yuanshi and Tongtian, the two sect masters, were neck and neck, both at the sixth heaven realm.

Even the Two Saints of the West, Jieyin and Zhunti, had now broken through to the fifth heaven.

"Hoo—although the merit gained from this world-opening was abundant, it truly took a lot of effort!"

Primordial Heavenly Venerate lightly sipped his immortal tea, sighing leisurely.

It had been a long time since they had enjoyed such a relaxed time sipping tea and discussing the Dao.

Just as Yuanshi relaxed his mind, Lu Changqing, along with East King Duke and the other two, had already descended gracefully.

Seeing the Six Saints drinking tea and resting, he immediately clapped his hands and urged:

"Fellow Daoists, slacking off is not allowed!

We are still far from our goal of ten million great worlds!"

The Six Saints, who were sipping tea, felt their temples throbbing upon seeing Lu Changqing;

Hearing his urging, they felt even more of a headache.

"Senior, even a donkey pulling a millstone needs to catch its breath,"

Yuanshi reluctantly swallowed the immortal tea in his mouth and said helplessly:

"Fellow Daoist Changqing, you have come to urge us no less than five times in the past thousand years.

We have already done our utmost to create hundreds of great worlds."

One must know that in the past, it took them a long time to create even one great world.
