A Treasure Falls from the Sky While Sitting at Home!

Nuwa left, entering the Chaos Void to establish her own sanctuary—Wa Huang Heaven.

The many Great Supernatural Beings watching Nuwa also set off for Chaos to witness her establishment of a sanctuary.

For a saint to establish a void sanctuary was, in a sense, a small-scale act of World Creation. During the process, all manner of saintly laws and Great Dao mysteries would be displayed.

For the many Great Supernatural Beings, this was no small opportunity.

If they gained some insight, they might even break through their realm on the spot.

Even if they could not break through immediately, witnessing such a scene would broaden their horizons and deepen their foundations.

Thus, at this moment, nearly all the Great Supernatural Beings and Primordial Ancient Gods in Hong Huang headed to the Chaos Void to watch Nuwa establish her sanctuary.

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, only the many newly born members of the Human Race remained, looking lost and uncertain of where to go next.

Gu Xi sat cross-legged and took stock of the gains from this operation.

[Name: Gu Xi]

[Realm: Late Heavenly Immortal]

[Physique: Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Undying Body]

[Merit: 200 billion]

[Debt: 100 billion]

[Borrowable Credit: 100 billion]

[Repayment Date: 1 million years]

The interface information on the Heavenly Dao Credit Card had changed considerably.

First, Merit and debt had been separated.

Second, there was now an additional category: "Borrowable Credit."

However, Gu Xi understood it at a glance.

"200 billion Merit... I actually gained a full 200 billion Merit just by intervening in Nuwa's creation of the Human Race this time."

Although Gu Xi had been mentally prepared and knew he had gained quite a bit of Merit this time,

when he saw the figure of 200 billion Merit, he was still utterly shaken.

"Hahaha, I struck it rich this time."

"Before, owing the Heavenly Dao 100 billion Merit had felt overwhelmingly stressful. Now, all that pressure is gone."

Gu Xi was ecstatic and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The better my credit and the stronger I am, the higher my Borrowable Credit will be? In that case, I should wait until I break through to Golden Immortal before repaying the debt. Once I clear it, I can continue borrowing the maximum amount of Heavenly Dao Merit from the Heavenly Dao... No matter what, I have to remain in debt."

Gu Xi knew very well that his greatest protective talisman right now was the Heavenly Dao, his creditor.

No matter what, he could not repay his debt in full.

Even if he did clear it, it would only be to improve his credit and secure a greater borrowing limit, after which he could borrow more Merit from the Heavenly Dao and owe it even more debt.

He understood perfectly that the more he owed the Heavenly Dao, the greater its protection would be, and the safer he would become.

Of course, one thing had to be made clear—

No matter how much Merit he borrowed from the Heavenly Dao, he had to repay it within the repayment period. Otherwise, he would be in serious trouble!

Gu Xi closed the Heavenly Dao Credit Card interface, then silently focused on his Primordial Spirit.

Deep within his Primordial Spirit, a golden talisman radiated countless rays of light. Within it, the phantoms of innumerable members of the Human Race worshipping could vaguely be seen.

Countless lines that seemed to exist and not exist extended from the golden talisman, connecting it to the Human Race Fortune in the Netherworld.

At every moment, Human Race Fortune flowed along those faint lines and poured into the golden talisman.

This talisman represented the Heaven and Earth Position of "Human Race Holy Father."

Through this talisman, Gu Xi could continuously receive a share of the Human Race Fortune. At critical moments, he could also draw the Human Race Fortune upon himself to enhance his combat power.

Of course, the Human Race had only just been born. Although its fortune was vigorous, it could not yet be considered powerful. Even if Gu Xi drew upon the Human Race Fortune now, it would not increase his combat power by much.

However, the Human Race being weak now did not mean it would remain weak in the future.

Gu Xi knew that the Human Race would become the Protagonists of Heaven and Earth.

How powerful would the Human Race Fortune be then?

When he drew upon the Human Race Fortune at that time, the increase in his combat power would likely be terrifying.

"It seems my greatest gain this time was not the 200 billion Merit, but obtaining the position of 'Human Race Holy Father.'"

"If the Heavenly Dao had not favored me, it would probably have been impossible for me to obtain such an important Heaven and Earth Position as 'Human Race Holy Father.'"

Gu Xi sighed. His understanding of the saying, "The debtor is the boss," had grown even deeper.

He decided that, in the future, no matter what happened, he had to remain indebted to the Heavenly Dao at all times. Only then would the Heavenly Dao continue favoring him.

"Hm, it seems another opportunity is about to come knocking on my door?"

As Gu Xi's Primordial Spirit merged with the golden talisman, he vaguely sensed a call from afar. It seemed that something was flying toward him at tremendous speed.

His eyes snapped open as he looked toward the source of the sound.

A dazzling divine light came hurtling over from afar, appearing before Gu Xi in an instant.

It was an ancient seal surrounded by divine light. Nine dragons formed its handle, the holy visages of the Five Directions Heavenly Emperors adorned its four sides, and beneath it were Great Dao runes bearing the two words—"Kongtong."

"This... this is the Kongtong Seal, the First Treasure of the Human Race that was born in response to the Human Race?"

Gu Xi's eyes widened.

He had never imagined that the Kongtong Seal would come seeking him out on its own.

Although the Kongtong Seal was an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, to the Human Race it was far more important than a Primordial Spiritual Treasure. It was the symbol of the Human Emperor and the First Treasure of the Human Race.

Whoever controlled this seal could depose or enthrone a Human Emperor.

In the original Hong Huang myths, the Kongtong Seal only emerged after Saint Taiqing established Human Teaching. It fell into Saint Taiqing's hands and was later entrusted to successive Human Emperors.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had all controlled the Kongtong Seal.

It was not until Xia Qi established the Xia Dynasty and implemented Hereditary Rule that Saint Taiqing reclaimed the Kongtong Seal, to prevent unworthy future Human Emperors from using its power to act perversely and bring disaster upon the world.

In short, the Kongtong Seal was of utmost importance to the Human Race. It was the First Treasure of the Human Race.

Gu Xi had not expected the Kongtong Seal to seek him out.

However, there was no reason to refuse a treasure delivered to one's door.

Especially not a supreme treasure like the Kongtong Seal.

"Interesting. I am the 'Human Race Holy Father,' and I also control the Kongtong Seal. It seems I can openly become a chess player in the affairs of the future Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"Besides, a fortune treasure like the Kongtong Seal is like the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. Though it is not innate, its power is no weaker than that of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure."

Gu Xi laughed heartily. With a thought, he drew the Kongtong Seal into his Primordial Spirit.

Within the Chaos Void, Laozi, who was watching Nuwa establish her sanctuary, suddenly felt a warning in his heart. His brows furrowed as he vaguely sensed that he had missed something extremely important.

He immediately began calculating with his fingers, yet discovered nothing at all.

"...Perhaps it was only an illusion."

Laozi sighed. He could only abandon his calculations and continue watching Nuwa establish her sanctuary.

If he knew at this moment that what he had lost was the Kongtong Seal, the First Treasure of the Human Race, he would likely disregard everything and immediately return to Hong Huang to fight Gu Xi.

After putting away the Kongtong Seal, Gu Xi did not immediately refine this top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure. Instead, he prepared to break through.

What he cultivated was the Primordial Merit Great Dao. Doing deeds of Merit meant practicing his Great Dao, allowing him to deepen his comprehension of the Primordial Merit Great Dao.

By helping Nuwa create the Human Race this time, he had gained an immense amount of Great Dao insight.

Now, he felt that he could already advance to Golden Immortal.
