Wails echoed through the Sea of Blood, startling the Asura Clan.

Jealousy could drive one mad.

Meanwhile, indignant cries could be heard from the Quasi-Saint dojos scattered across the Primordial World.

All the Great Powers were green with envy.

Without even needing to exchange Magic Treasures, simply by opening up Great Thousand Worlds, they could gain tens of millions of Merit. What a heavenly opportunity!

They only regretted their own lack of ability!

As the Primordial World trembled and the Saints seethed with jealousy, Lu Changsheng had already allocated the vast Golden Cloud of Merit according to contributions.

"The Two Sages of the West jointly opened two worlds, receiving twenty million Merit.

The Three Pure Ones, each opening two worlds for a total of six, received sixty million Merit.

Saint Nuwa opened one world, receiving twelve million Merit."

Upon hearing this, all the Saints were puzzled: Nuwa only opened one world, so why did she receive two million more Merit?

Nuwa also questioned, "Fellow Daoist Changsheng, could there be an error in the Merit calculation?"

Lu Changsheng smiled and explained, "The world Saint Nuwa opened has perfect rules and is full of vitality, far surpassing the worlds created by the other Saints.

Therefore, an additional two million has been awarded as a commendation."

But this was only a matter of time.

After tens of thousands of years of evolution, life would still appear, reaching Nuwa's level.

However, Lu Changsheng didn't care about these things; he only wanted to consume more Merit.

After listening to Lu Changsheng's explanation, all the Saints understood.

This was indeed something they couldn't match.

After all, Nuwa's primary cultivation was the Great Dao of Creation.

Creating life and enlightening intelligence was her specialty.

Nuwa, having heard Lu Changsheng's explanation, happily accepted.

After all, this was an unexpected bonus!

After clarifying everything, Lu Changsheng distributed the Merit to the Saints one by one.

Upon receiving tens of millions of Merit, the Saints' faces instantly lit up with joy.

The difficulties of opening up Great Thousand Worlds, the problem of consuming their origins – all of it was no longer an issue.

The Two Sages of the West were so happy they couldn't close their mouths.

They secretly cried out in their hearts:

"Forget about being beasts or not, Fellow Daoist, please don't be polite. Treat us like donkeys on a production team, and squeeze us to your heart's content!"

Of course, such words could never be spoken aloud.

They could only say with dignity:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, rest assured, we will definitely complete the goal of ten million Great Thousand Worlds as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, the other Saints no longer felt any resistance.

In just a few hundred years, they had received tens of millions of Merit. Only a fool wouldn't do this.

Who? Who was it that vehemently opposed just now?

Such a fool, who knows who it was.

Seeing the Saints' fighting spirit soar, Lu Changsheng smiled with satisfaction.

As expected, money makes the world go 'round.

With Merit, even Saints were willing to push the millstone.

However, seeing only six Saints, Lu Changsheng felt that no matter how much he squeezed, the progress wouldn't be that fast.

Opening up a Great Thousand World would take at least a hundred years.

Opening them up continuously consumed a great deal, and it required time to recover.

Calculating it this way, it would take the six Saints millions of years to open up ten million Great Thousand Worlds.

Thinking about it, it still felt quite slow.

With this thought, Lu Changsheng began to ponder seriously:

"With only six Saints, the progress is really too slow. Should I think of a way to create a few dozen more Saints?"

Hearing Lu Changsheng's muttering, the six Saints were instantly petrified.

"Boss, are you speaking human words?

Saints!

Those were once supreme beings who dominated the Primordial World, governed the universe, and instilled fear in all under heaven."

Is this something that can be casually created?

Tongtian shook his head and sighed softly:

"To become a Saint, the most basic requirements are an extraordinary origin and profound cultivation.

In addition, one must possess the opportunity to become a Saint.

Or possess the Primordial Violet Qi.

As for Merit, with Fellow Daoist Changsheng around, that shouldn't be a problem.

But even so, it's extremely difficult to find people who meet the conditions."

Hearing Tongtian's lament, several Saints nodded in agreement.

After all, the six of them had gone through immense hardship to become Saints.

If Saints could be casually created, what would the six of them be?

Lu Changsheng listened to Tongtian's words, thought seriously, and nodded:

"Fellow Daoist is right. It seems that to create more Saints, we need to find a way to obtain more Primordial Violet Qi!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng's serious expression, the Six Sages exchanged glances.

For a moment, they were all a bit stunned.

They felt that this Quasi-Saint junior before them seemed to be on a different level.

His thinking was unconventional and difficult to fathom.

Even as Saints, they couldn't keep up with Lu Changsheng's thoughts.

Lu Changsheng didn't notice the shocked expressions of the Six Sages.

He couldn't be bothered to care.

After figuring things out, he smiled and encouraged the Saints a few times before bidding farewell.

"All Saints, please continue your hard work!

I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"

With that, Lu Changsheng traversed the void and returned to Wuji Heaven.

The Six Sages remained silent for a long time after he left.

Nuwa suddenly had a feeling and frowned:

"You all, do you think it's possible... Fellow Daoist Changsheng isn't joking.

He genuinely wants to create dozens of Saints--"

As soon as she said this.

The faces of all the Saints froze.

A certain scene involuntarily appeared in their minds:

One day, dozens of new Saints suddenly appeared on the Primordial World.

Lu Changsheng, leading this group of "self-created Saints,"

approached the Six Sages who were diligently creating the world, and said with a beaming smile:

"Fellow Daoists, these are the newly promoted Saints from our world-creation production team. They will join you in creating the world from now on."

Thinking of this scene.

The Saints couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, their expressions changing drastically.

This poor Daoist has something to say, but I don't know if I should say it!

After Lu Changsheng returned to Wuji Heaven.

He didn't rest either.

Since he was idle anyway.

He decided to continue expanding his Wuji Heaven dojo.

He refined the palace complex he had built, inside and out, with millions of Merit.

Within the palace complex, there was one main hall, sixteen side halls, and three hundred and sixty-five secondary halls.

After refining them all, Lu Changsheng felt that something was still missing.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that his palace lacked a treasury.

As the wealthiest being in the Primordial World, possessing thirty percent of the treasures of countless beings, how could he not have a treasury?

With that thought, Lu Changsheng casually built a treasury and, as usual, refined it with Merit.

After completing all this, he nodded with satisfaction and looked at Kunpeng and the other two, who were gaping beside him, and casually handed them three brooms:

"You're idle anyway, so sweep those mountains of treasures into the treasury."

The treasury didn't look large, but it contained its own universe, so storing those treasures was not a problem.

After hearing Lu Changsheng's words, Kunpeng and the other two were even more stunned, staring directly at the three brooms.

These were clearly treasures, not trash!

Xiantian Merit Spiritual Treasures, Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasures, various Spiritual Roots, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and they were using brooms to sweep them up?

If treasures had spirits, they would probably be utterly wronged.

Cultivators outside would fight until their heads were bloody over these treasures, cherishing them immensely;

Yet here, they were treated the same as trash.

Was this even humane?

Randeng and the other two were stunned for a long time before finally shaking their heads helplessly, muttering:

"This is probably just the boring daily life of the rich!"

Just as Randeng and the other two were tearfully sweeping treasures into the treasury with brooms, The Twelve Ancestor Witches came to Wuji Heaven to pay a visit.

"Witch Clan, Twelve Ancestor Witches, come to pay respects to Immortal Venerable Changsheng!"

Lu Changsheng was currently focused on opening the heavens, but even a mosquito's leg was still meat, So he faintly transmitted his voice, "Enter."

After receiving permission, the impatient Zhurong rushed into Changsheng Palace, And declared with a face full of confidence:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, we've brought many treasures to exchange this time. You'll surely be astonished when you see them!"

Upon hearing Zhurong's words, Lu Changsheng, who had been reclining on a lounge chair, slowly opened his eyes and said with a hint of a smile:

"What did you just say?"

Randeng and the other two, who were sweeping treasures with brooms, also looked up and silently gazed at the confident Zhurong.

Zhurong strode into Changsheng Palace with a beaming smile, looked around, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

He was completely stunned on the spot.

What he saw before him was unbelievable.

Those casually piled items, like miscellaneous objects, were actually treasures? And they were using brooms to sweep treasures?

And those hundreds of palaces, all emitting the Golden Cloud of Merit? They were actually using Merit to temper palaces?

If it wasn't for a once-in-a-million-years stroke of genius, who would have thought of using Merit for such a thing?

The Ancestor Witches who arrived later also witnessed all of this, momentarily speechless and unsure of what to say.

Seeing everyone arrive, Lu Changsheng smiled and stood up, instructing East King Duke beside him:

"Little Dong, prepare some tea."

"As you command, Great Master."

East King Duke immediately put down his broom, turned, and headed towards the side hall to prepare immortal tea.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches recognized East King Duke and couldn't help but be greatly surprised:

"Isn't that East King Duke from Purple Mansion Prefecture?"

"A dignified Great Power of the Primordial World, actually sweeping the floor and making tea here?"

The Twelve Ancestor Witches' emotions were turbulent, and they felt Wuji Heaven was even more unfathomable.

"Fellow Daoists, please have a seat."

Lu Changsheng invited everyone to sit, then smiled and looked at Zhurong:

"I wonder how many treasures you've brought? Let this Venerable one broaden his horizons as well."

Hearing this, Zhurong's face turned red with embarrassment, and he lowered his head, not daring to meet Lu Changsheng's gaze.

In front of this Great Power who treated treasures like dust, he felt like a beggar.

Houtu, with her delicate perception, noticed her elder brother's embarrassment and smiled as she took out all their treasures, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng is joking. They are just some ordinary items, how could they catch your eye."

As she spoke, hundreds of treasures floated and unfurled before her.

Houtu casually grabbed one, and a Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure—the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler—appeared in her palm.

"This is the first Postnatal offensive Merit Supreme Treasure, originating from the same source as the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

Both were formed from the converged Merit of the primordial creation."

After hearing Houtu's explanation, Lu Changsheng happily accepted the first Magic Treasure.

He had always favored offensive Magic Treasures, and this one looked more practical than the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

Seeing Lu Changsheng's satisfied expression, Houtu smiled and reached out again:

"There is another Heavenly Dao fierce treasure, named the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin.

Its power is second only to Innate Supreme Treasures, capable of [REDACTED] all things!"

Upon hearing Houtu's introduction, Lu Changsheng's eyes shone brightly as he accepted this exotic treasure.

In the Primordial World, Exotic treasures are not classified by level or grade.

But all of them are items of unparalleled power.

Lu Changsheng was also aware of this Heaven-Suppressing Coffin.

This item possesses a formidable malevolent aura.

Once trapped by this coffin, its fierce and malevolent energy can erode a Saint's body and obliterate their Primordial Spirit.

Even a Saint, if imprisoned within, would find it difficult to escape.

"These are indeed two excellent treasures!"

Lu Changsheng said with satisfaction.

Seeing Lu Changsheng's joy, Houtu became even more delighted and continued to introduce other treasures.

She reached out again, and a lotus seed appeared in her palm:

"Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Twelve-Petaled World-Purifying White Lotus.

This is a remnant from when the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Green Lotus, shattered during the creation of the heavens.

The roots and stem of the Chaos Green Lotus transformed into the God-Slaying Spear.

Of its five lotus seeds, four immature ones became the Golden Cloud of Merit, Karma Red Lotus, World-Destroying Black Lotus, and World-Purifying White Lotus.

The mature one, however, became the Twenty-Four-Petaled Creation Green Lotus.

Later, it was divided by the Three Pure Ones into three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures:"
