The Envious, Jealous, and Hateful Gods!

Above the firmament, auspicious clouds filled the sky, and purple qi soared for a hundred thousand miles.

Beneath the clouds, golden light of merit surged like a tide, rolling in, ready to descend at any moment.

Furthermore, a faint, ethereal Great Dao Divine Sound echoed from the unseen depths.

On Five Elements Mountain, everyone was dumbfounded.

Ying Long, Daoist Jieyin, and Daoist Zhunti, these three Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates who shook Hong Huang, were also dumbfounded at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Xi, the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches he is about to explain, is it really this exaggerated? It hasn't even begun, yet there are already myriad phenomena and the golden light of merit has descended prematurely... This is too unbelievable!"

"Why do I feel like Heaven itself is impatient for Fellow Daoist Gu Xi to establish this Great Dao, so it has prepared the merit in advance, just waiting for Fellow Daoist Gu Xi to begin explaining the Great Dao."

"I've lived long enough to see this. I've lived for millions of years, and I've never seen such a situation, nor have I even heard of it."

"What kind of Great Dao is this so-called Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, that it can trigger such an exaggerated phenomenon?"

"Without a doubt, the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches that Fellow Daoist Gu Xi is about to expound upon will greatly benefit the perfection of the Heavenly Dao Laws. Otherwise, Heaven wouldn't be so shameless as to directly deliver the merit reward to our doorstep in advance..."

"Hahaha, hahahaha, coming to Five Elements Mountain this time to congratulate Fellow Daoist Gu Xi is probably the most correct decision I've ever made. Not only can I listen to Fellow Daoist Gu Xi and the three Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates lecture... but I can also witness the birth of such an astonishing Great Dao."

"Yes, we are too fortunate. Such a Great Dao must contain extremely profound mysteries. We must concentrate all our attention to listen later. If we gain something, it might be of great help to our Dao path."

On Five Elements Mountain, whether it was Suiren Shi and other human powerhouses, or the many Gods and Devils who came to offer congratulations, at this moment, each and every one of them was both shocked and excited.

Their attention was focused as never before, ears perked, waiting for Gu Xi to begin explaining the Way of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

"A Great Dao derived from the Four Seasons Sequence that has an even greater influence on heaven and earth?"

"What exactly is this Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Great Dao?"

Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti looked at Gu Xi with shock.

They secretly guessed what aspect of the Great Dao Gu Xi's Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches referred to.

"Remarkable, truly remarkable. The Great Dao of the Four Seasons Sequence is already astonishing. I never expected that Fellow Daoist Gu Xi could, based on the Four Seasons Sequence, deduce a Great Dao of a higher level, involving more Great Dao Laws, and having a greater impact on heaven and earth."

"Such talent is simply astonishing for countless epochs."

"Second Brother made the right bet this time. Investing in Gu Xi, we of the Dragon Clan will profit immensely."

Ying Long marveled inwardly, his mouth almost splitting into a grin.

"What is that? A golden ocean? No... that, that's the golden light of merit!"

"Hiss! It's actually an ocean formed by the convergence of the golden light of merit!"

"Could it be that someone is about to use merit to prove the Dao and become a Saint again?"

"No, that's the general direction of the Human Race Holy Land's Five Elements Mountain. What exactly happened in the Human Race Holy Land to cause such vast golden light of merit to appear, and it looks like it's about to descend at any moment."

On the Purple Mansion Continent, East King Duke sensed the commotion from the Five Elements Mountain. He immediately opened his Dharma eyes, his gaze piercing through billions of time and space, and looked towards the Human Race Holy Land.

When he saw the golden light of merit, like a vast ocean, in the sky above the Human Race Holy Land, his expression stiffened.

He was completely stunned.

He looked like an idiot.

He couldn't imagine who, or what, could have done something to cause Heaven's Will to bestow such immense merit.

And it was descending ahead of schedule.

"That vast golden light of merit must be related to Human Race Gu Xi."

"What did he do, or what is he about to do? To earn such favor from Heaven's Will, to have so much golden light of merit descend, as if it were worthless!"

West Queen Mother appeared beside East King Duke, also looking in the direction of the Human Race's Five Elements Mountain, her face filled with disbelief and astonishment.

On Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones also opened their Dharma eyes, staring intently in the direction of the Human Race Holy Land.

"This Human Race Gu Xi, what virtue and what ability does he have to make Heaven's Will prepare so much golden light of merit for him?"

Laozi said, somewhat dazed.

If this torrent of golden light of merit were for him, he might be able to prove himself a Saint with it.

"This... how is this possible?"

"We, the Pangu Three Pure Ones, inheritors of Father God Pangu's legacy, and direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor, have never been bestowed such vast merit by Heaven's Will... Why does he, Gu Xi, get so much?"

Yuanshi was always serious.

It was as if his demeanor never changed.

Always so noble and solemn, always so... aloof.

But at this moment, his composure broke.

He lost his composure.

Traces of dark envy and hatred, deep within his heart, began to grow.

And as soon as these traces of envy and hatred appeared, they spread rapidly in his heart like a prairie fire.

Ever since Gu Xi piggybacked on Nuwa's merit in creating humans, gaining immense merit and the position of Human Race Holy Father, he had noticed Gu Xi.

But at that time, he hadn't even considered Gu Xi, a mere Heavenly Immortal, to be worth his attention.

He only thought that Gu Xi's luck was a bit better.

It was still not worth mentioning.

But as Gu Xi continuously educated the human race and obtained merit time and time again, it was as if obtaining merit was as simple as eating and drinking for Gu Xi. Deep within Yuan Shi's primordial heart, a trace of envy and hatred began to sprout.

When Gu Xi established the Four Seasons Sequence, obtained a large amount of merit, and many divine positions such as the God of Seasons, and would continue to receive feedback from heaven and earth in the future...

The trace of envy and hatred in Yuan Shi's heart officially took shape and began to take root.

And at this moment, the sprout of envy and hatred in his heart could no longer be suppressed, spreading wildly in his heart like a prairie fire.

Why?

He, Yuan Shi, was the Pangu Orthodox Lineage and a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor, yet he didn't have this much merit. How could Gu Xi, a mere "wild cultivator" who hadn't even entered the Dao Ancestor's sect, obtain so much merit?

If all the merit Gu Xi had obtained were given to him, Yuan Shi, he would have become a saint long ago.

At this moment, Yuan Shi's face was extremely grim.

The Pangu Banner in his Primordial Spirit was restless, emitting traces of a terrifying aura that could shatter space-time and create the world.

But he ultimately did not make a move.

On one hand, he was wary of the Chaos Divine Thunder that Gu Xi had once "summoned."

On the other hand, Gu Xi had never offended him, nor had he even met him...

He lacked sufficient reason to act.

As one of the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, he still had his reputation to uphold.

"Strange, so strange, how can Gu Xi obtain merit so easily?"

"Hmm? This seems to align somewhat with the profound meaning of the Primordial Interception Fortune Great Dao that I've comprehended... The Great Dao has fifty, heaven derives forty-nine, leaving one to escape, there is always a sliver of hope."

"It's not necessarily the beings with noble origins and noble status, or the strongest beings, who can obtain great merit and great karma... Among the vast sentient beings, those with ordinary origins and strength can also obtain great merit and great karma..."

Tongtian seemed to have realized something. The aura around him suddenly became a little more agile, and his Dao Practice actually increased.

"This... is this the treatment of a 'Heavenly Dao's Illegitimate Child'?"

"Heavenly Dao is truly biased!"

In Wa Huang Heaven, Nuwa looked in the direction of the Five Elements Mountain and muttered silently in her heart.

"Damn it, why him again!"

"What exactly does he want to do? Heavenly Dao has actually prepared so much merit for him in advance... That's an Ocean of Merit! Is merit no longer valuable?"

In the Pangu Sacred Hall, Ancestral Witches such as Di Jiang, Zhu Rong, and Gong Gong watched in the direction of the Human Sacred Hall, their faces contorted.

One by one, they panted heavily, their eyes bursting with terrifying killing intent. Overwhelming malevolent energy roared out from them, like black hurricanes, shredding the surrounding space-time.

As Gu Xi's "enemies," they naturally were the most unwilling to see this scene unfold.

Also not feeling good were Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi in the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

"Why him of all people?"

"Heaven's will is unfair!"

On this day, deep within the Demon Race Heavenly Court, two torrents of Solar True Fire, as if out of control, raged wildly, burning countless magnificent palaces to ashes.

Innumerable demon gods prostrated themselves in the Demon Race Heavenly Court, trembling.

From that terrifying Solar True Fire, they sensed the anger of two Emperors.

Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, Daoist Hongyun of Huoyun Cave, Fuxi of Buzhou Mountain, Old Ancestor Minghe of the Sea of Blood, Kunpeng Demon Master of the North Sea...

And many more God and Demon Dao Lords and Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerates.

On this day, all their gazes were fixed on the direction of the Human Race Holy Land, and they all felt the same emotion—envy and jealousy!

The sixth update!
