Dao Guarding Heavenly Origin

"Phew—Great Master's Merit is truly boundless. How much has been exchanged already?"

East King Duke couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the long queue.

Randeng was long past being numb. Recalling the Merit he had handled over the past century, he sighed helplessly, "Merit nowadays is practically like the mud found everywhere in the Primordial World; there's as much as you want."

Kunpeng saw the two still chatting and quickly urged them, "Stop sighing and get to work! Look where this queue has reached!"

For the past hundred years, the three of them had barely rested, working day in and day out to exchange Merit for the beings of the Primordial World. Now, seeing Merit brought no emotional ripples to their hearts.

Urged on by Kunpeng, East King Duke and Randeng had no choice but to continue exchanging Merit.

Looking at the beings before them whose eyes shone with desire for Merit, the two couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly: Merit was as common as mud now, what was there to be so excited about?

Just as East King Duke and the other two continued to bury their heads in their work, the beings who had exchanged for Merit were all overcome with excitement.

"Is this one hundred thousand Merit? With this, I can finally break through to Quasi-Saint!"

The tribal chief of the Desolate Rhino tribe shouted excitedly after walking out of Wuji Heaven.

He had been stuck at the peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage for over a million years. Without the help of Merit, his path of cultivation would likely have been cut off long ago.

The cultivators waiting outside Wuji Heaven to exchange for Merit heard the Desolate Rhino chief's cheers and cast envious glances their way, their eyes on Wuji Heaven growing even more fervent.

At this moment, the wave of creation by all beings was vigorously advancing.

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Primordial World, due to the creation by all beings, welcomed a long-lost tranquility.

All beings lived in harmony, and disputes were rare.

Even the occasional minor friction arising from the opening up of worlds was insignificant.

After all, even the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan no longer fought, so why should other beings contend?

Wasn't accumulating Merit more pleasant than fighting?

Although the Witch Clan and Demon Clan no longer engaged in open warfare, their covert competition never ceased.

However, this competition had shifted from vying for territory to competing in the amount of creation.

Once the Witch Clan learned that the Demon Clan had opened up another realm, the Twelve Ancestor Witches would become agitated and strive to catch up.

And if the Witch Clan took the lead, Di Jun and Taiyi would fly into a rage and go all out to surpass them.

In this tit-for-tat competition between the two clans, the pace of creation greatly accelerated.

Lu Changsheng, upon learning of this, was deeply satisfied.

He personally brought Merit to the Great Thousand Worlds where the two clans resided, announcing the amount of Merit obtained by the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan to all beings in the Primordial World.

Under this encouragement, the beings of the Primordial World became passionate, and the process of creation accelerated once more.

The competition among all beings in creation intensified.

And all of this was precisely what Lu Changsheng wished to see.

One day, Lu Changsheng was leisurely sipping immortal tea served by celestial maidens, enjoying life, when a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully consuming one trillion Merit, achieving one percent of the mission progress. Reward: One mysterious grand gift package!"

Upon hearing the notification, Lu Changsheng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had made billions upon billions of beings in the Primordial World toil for him, and yet only one percent of the Merit had been consumed?

Then again, it seemed acceptable.

After another ninety-nine thousand years, wouldn't it all be used up?

Compared to the often billions of years of existence, ten thousand years was but a brief moment.

In the Primordial World, the most abundant resource was time.

Moreover, a mysterious grand gift package was included, which served as a small comfort to his wounded heart.

Lu Changsheng still remembered the beginner's gift package the System had first bestowed upon him.

Every item within it was a top-tier treasure.

Given the System's consistently generous approach, this mysterious gift package was likely no ordinary one.

As he pondered, Lu Changsheng's mind stirred.

He opened the mysterious grand gift package.

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Chaos Spirit Root: One Primordial Shore Flower!"

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Chaos Supreme Treasure: One Chaos Pearl!"

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Chaos Treasure: One portion of Chaos Creation Divine Marrow!"

Upon hearing the system's prompts, Lu Changsheng excitedly stood up from his throne.

As expected of a prodigal system, this reward was indeed incredibly lavish.

The Innate Supreme Treasure from last time was already astonishing enough.

This time, it had directly bestowed a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

The most eye-catching item was the Primordial Shore Flower.

This Spiritual Root nurtured a strand of Primordial Violet Qi.

But even more magical was its ability to nurture another strand of Primordial Violet Qi every thousand years.

This meant his plan to create a Saint finally had hope.

After all, this was Primordial Violet Qi that even Saints would fight over.

For existences with deep foundations like Zhen Yuanzi and Ming He.

They never lacked talent or aptitude, only that crucial opportunity.

If they could obtain Primordial Violet Qi and the right catalyst, they would have a chance to prove their Dao and become Saints!

After rejoicing in the marvel of the Primordial Shore Flower.

Lu Changsheng turned his gaze to the other treasures.

The Chaos Supreme Treasure, Chaos Pearl, was the only complete Chaos Supreme Treasure in the vast Primordial World.

This treasure contained a chaotic world within, making it both offensive and defensive, and it contained two divine abilities—Chaos Tribulation Light and Dao Guarding Heavenly Origin.

Wherever Chaos Tribulation Light passed, heaven and earth were annihilated, chaos shattered, and it could even directly destroy the opponent's Primordial Spirit.

Dao Guarding Heavenly Origin, on the other hand, descended chaotic energy, capable of resisting all laws and dispelling all evils.

These two divine abilities, with their balanced offense and defense, could be called perfect.

What surprised Lu Changsheng even more was that the Chaos Pearl could nourish Spiritual Roots and improve their grade.

It could even elevate Acquired Spiritual Roots into Innate Spiritual Roots.

Such miraculous effects could be said to steal the creation of heaven and earth.

However, the space within the pearl was limited, able to accommodate at most a hundred Acquired Spiritual Roots.

The upper limit for Innate Spiritual Roots was ten.

After nurturing, they had a chance to transform into Chaos Spirit Roots.

As for the growth limit of Acquired Spiritual Roots, it stopped at top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots.

It was just that this process was quite slow.

Even so, such an ability was already heaven-defying in the Primordial World.

"As expected of a Chaos Supreme Treasure. If one had a Dao lineage, this treasure alone would be enough to support the foundation of a Saint's sect!"

After browsing the description of the Chaos Pearl, Lu Changsheng's eyes could not hide his joy.

This spendthrift System had never disappointed him in this regard.

Amidst his joy, Lu Changsheng looked at the final reward.

Chaos Creation Divine Marrow: Upon consumption, it can transform one's origin, evolve the Purple Mansion, and achieve ultimate sublimation.

Upon seeing the words "transform one's origin."

Lu Changsheng's eyes immediately flashed with brilliance.

Treasures capable of transforming one's origin were already extremely rare.

He waved his hand, signaling the attendant fairy to withdraw, and began to refine the Chaos Creation Divine Marrow alone.

Once the divine marrow was refined, three thousand Great Dao Prophecies immediately surged around Lu Changsheng, circling and flowing, exuding supreme majesty.

At the same time, the myriad acupoints within his Purple Mansion each evolved into a world, containing the universe, with stars shining brightly.

As all the acupoints bloomed with light, a mighty Primordial Supreme aura erupted, breaking through the acupoints and piercing straight into the heavens.

After the transformation, Lu Changsheng's realm also climbed.

Muffled thunder-like sounds echoed from within his body, three thousand Laws intertwined and ascended, and Great Dao Divine Runes permeated his body.

Countless golden lotuses containing the aura of Laws bloomed in succession, their golden light brilliant, illuminating all realms.

The River of Years quietly appeared, and the rhyme of the Great Dao floated and sank with the waves.

In an instant, the River of Time and Space also appeared, with billions of stars twinkling, reflecting the myriad acupoints in Lu Changsheng's Purple Mansion.

Instantly, the three thousand Great Dao Laws circulated and enveloped him.

In the vast and boundless heaven and earth, an immeasurable aura of a peak Quasi-Saint filled the air.

Lu Changsheng, having completed his transformation, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air:

"Finally, the transformation is complete. I wonder what level my foundation has reached?"

With a slight movement of his mind, he had already investigated his own condition.

At this moment, his foundation had leaped from the top-tier Chaos Demon God level, comparable to Pangu, to the Primordial Supreme realm.

"Primordial Supreme? This is actually a foundation that surpasses Pangu, reaching an unprecedented Primordial level!"

Although he had never witnessed this realm firsthand, the mere word "Primordial"

was enough to determine that it was far superior to Chaos Demon Gods.

Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with this transformation.

However, upon closer examination, it felt rather ordinary.

After all, his original foundation was already at the level of a top-tier Chaos Demon God in the Primordial World.

Even though his foundation surpassed Pangu's, Lu Changsheng still didn't want to cultivate diligently.

He just wanted to live leisurely, spend his trillions of wealth freely, and reach the realm of a Great Dao Saint that even Pangu couldn't touch.

Even while living such a leisurely life, the Primordial Creation Art within him was still running on its own, continuously evolving the seeds of the Three Thousand Laws.

After reviewing his own condition, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but recall the years of diligent cultivation before he obtained the System.

He sighed helplessly:

"This kind of leisurely life truly makes one fall into it!"

Just then, the East King Duke and his two companions, who hadn't rested in a thousand years, entered the Hall of Longevity and happened to hear this sigh.

The three of them almost spat out blood, wishing they could smash themselves into the Merit Pillar beside them.

Was he even speaking human words?

Just as the three were silently complaining, they suddenly sensed something unusual and exclaimed in unison:

"Peak Quasi-Saint?"

They couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.

Recalling their first meeting back then, the Great Master was merely at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

In the blink of an eye, he had become an unparalleled mighty being, surpassing everyone in the Primordial World.

Remembering that sigh just now, the three felt their bodies go numb.

Those words were truly infuriating!

Just as the three were in shock, Lu Changsheng also noticed them.

He frowned slightly and said:

"Why aren't you handling the Merit affairs outside and instead came in here?"

As Lu Changsheng's words fell, the three finally snapped back to reality.

They immediately put on distressed expressions and complained to Lu Changsheng as if they were about to cry:

"Great Master, there are only the three of us.

Every day, countless beings come to exchange for Merit.

We haven't had a moment's rest for a full eleven hundred years! If this continues, even a Quasi-Saint won't be able to endure it, Great Master!"

Lu Changsheng listened to the three's explanation and found it reasonable.

There were endless beings in the Primordial World, and if this continued, let alone eleven hundred years, even a hundred thousand years wouldn't bring a moment's respite.

"That's true."

Lu Changsheng nodded in agreement, pondering a solution in his heart.

After a moment of thought, he spoke:

"How about letting the Heavenly Dao help distribute the Merit rewards?"

As soon as he said this, the East King Duke and his two companions were stunned.

What? Did they hear correctly? Letting the Heavenly Dao help distribute Merit?

It was already a great favor for the Heavenly Dao to have offered assistance before.

Now, they actually wanted the Heavenly Dao to handle such trivial matters?

What did they take the Heavenly Dao for? A nanny? Someone they could order around?

Seeing the shocked expressions of the three, Lu Changsheng, however, looked puzzled, acting as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"What's so unacceptable about this? Anyway, the Heavenly Dao doesn't have as much Merit as I do. If he doesn't agree, I'll just bombard him with Merit until he agrees!"

Although no one had ever truly seen the Heavenly Dao, nor did they know if it had a physical form, Lu Changsheng firmly believed: any sentient being in the Primordial World would surely be unable to resist the onslaught of Merit.

Hearing Lu Changsheng's words, the East King Duke and his two companions were completely numb.

Great Master, you truly dare to think! Bombard the Heavenly Dao with Merit?

This wasn't just wishful thinking; it was like trying to milk a bull – a direct, forceful attempt!

Perhaps even Pangu, when he created the heavens and earth and became the Primordial World, never anticipated such a peculiar individual would appear!

Lu Changsheng, unaware of the shock within the three, slowly walked out of Wuji Heaven.
