The Heavenly Dao's Will

The East King Duke and the other two exchanged glances, not understanding his meaning, and followed him out.

They didn't understand what Lu Changsheng was trying to do.

Could he really be intending to smash the Heavenly Dao with Merit?

Lu Changsheng slowly walked out of Wuji Heaven, and before his eyes was a dense mass of living beings, stretching as far as the eye could see.

They were lined up, all waiting to receive Merit from Lu Changsheng.

At this moment, the vast crowd also saw Lu Changsheng emerge from Wuji Heaven.

Everyone respectfully shouted in unison:

"We pay our respects to Immortal Venerable Changsheng!"

As countless beings cheered excitedly, the Six Sages also arrived at the scene.

Looking at the fervent scene, their hearts surged with emotion.

After all, after this settlement of Merit, their strength would increase significantly.

Each of them was in a good mood, their smiles hard to conceal.

Lu Changsheng gazed at the surging masses like a tide, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

After all, these were his important "cultivators."

Ah!

For the future "great undertaking,"

He would have to rely on them even more.

With a light chuckle, Lu Changsheng announced loudly:

"Everyone, since the rules for creating worlds were released, all beings have responded with great enthusiasm, and I am deeply gratified.

However, there are countless beings in the Primordial World, and those who come to exchange for Merit are endless.

My Wuji Heaven is currently short-handed and cannot distribute Merit to each of you individually--"

Before he could finish speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"What? Cannot distribute individually? Does Immortal Venerable Changsheng's Merit not suffice anymore?"

"This won't do! We poured all our effort into creating worlds, Immortal Venerable Changsheng cannot go back on his word!"

The Six Sages also looked at Lu Changsheng in surprise.

Indeed, the creation of worlds by all beings consumed an astonishing amount of Merit, and they were not sure if Lu Changsheng could afford it.

Just as the crowd was making a commotion, Lu Changsheng calmly appeared, and behind him, vast golden light of Merit surged forth.

The radiance was brilliant, instantly illuminating the entire scene and quieting all the living beings.

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly, his tone arrogant:

"My Merit is immeasurable. Even if you were to create worlds for another hundred thousand years, I could still afford it!

What I mean to say is, Wuji Heaven is short-handed, so I have decided-- to let the Heavenly Dao distribute Merit on my behalf!"

The entire audience was shocked by this declaration.

What kind of arrangement was this?

Letting the Heavenly Dao distribute Merit?

Was this a joke?

Was the Heavenly Dao a servant he could summon at will?

Regarding the Heavenly Dao's previous protection, the beings could still understand.

After all, Lu Changsheng bore great Merit.

It was only natural for the Heavenly Dao to protect his safety.

But to make the Heavenly Dao work for him was somewhat unreasonable.

Grand Pure One Laozi, his face also showing surprise, spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, isn't this move too rash?

The Heavenly Dao is supreme.

How can it be made to handle such trivial matters?"

One must know that in the Primordial World, The Heavenly Dao was the ruler of all things, A supreme, emotionless existence.

To make such a supreme being serve you?

Wasn't that too disrespectful?

The other Saints also looked at Lu Changsheng with incredulous eyes.

They felt Lu Changsheng had lost his mind.

Seeing the reactions of the Six Sages and all living beings, Lu Changsheng sheepishly scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile:

"I'm just trying it out, maybe it will work!"

Upon hearing this, all living beings were stunned.

Was asking the Heavenly Dao to do things something that could be tried casually?

The East King Duke and the other two immediately retreated several miles upon hearing Lu Changsheng's words.

Such arrogant words, they had to get far away, otherwise, they might be implicated when the Heavenly Punishment descended.

Lu Changsheng paid no mind to their reactions, and directly addressed the heavens, saying:

"Heavenly Dao above, I, in the name of Immortal Venerable Changsheng, summon the Heavenly Dao Order to manifest. I have something to discuss!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng actually summon the Heavenly Dao, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"Has he gone mad? That is the supreme Heavenly Dao!"

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng is far too arrogant! Summoning the Heavenly Dao like this will surely incur Heavenly Punishment!"

Witnessing Lu Changsheng's actions, the Six Sages also showed expressions of shock.

Though they were supreme existences in the Primordial World, before the Heavenly Dao, they were merely slightly stronger ants.

And yet, a being weaker than them dared to provoke the Heavenly Dao?

This was no longer ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth, but a path to self-destruction!

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng, this action is indeed too reckless!

The Heavenly Dao is supreme, how can it tolerate such offense?"

Sect Master Tongtian instantly retreated ten thousand miles, shaking his head and sighing.

The other five Sages also retreated ten thousand miles.

This was because it was the Heavenly Dao, an existence above all else.

Even Saints had to submit to it, a supreme Heavenly Dao that regarded the lives of Saints as mere ants.

They too worried that they would be implicated when Lu Changsheng faced the heavenly lightning.

At the same moment, within the Purple Heaven Palace in the chaos.

Hongjun also sensed the commotion in the Primordial World with his divine sense.

Seeing Lu Changsheng's actions, he couldn't help but show surprise, his mind filled with confusion:

"What exactly does Fellow Daoist Changsheng intend to do?

Does he wish to challenge the Heavenly Dao, to rise above it?

It's simply wishful thinking!

How could the supreme Heavenly Dao allow a mere Quasi-Saint to surpass it?"

Just as Hongjun was pondering endlessly.

All living beings were shocked, their faces drained of color.

Between the heavens and earth of the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao manifested.

In an instant, boundless Heavenly Dao pressure enveloped the Primordial World, its might vast and boundless.

And in the sky, a corner of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel actually appeared.

This single corner of the Divine Wheel alone obscured the sun and the sky, its power astonishing.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be if it manifested in its entirety.

One must know that the most basic manifestation of the Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Tribulation lightning technique, and a deeper level was the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

The Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel, however, was the core of the Heavenly Dao Order, the most terrifying.

At this moment of manifestation, all living beings trembled, and those with low cultivation were suppressed by the overwhelming pressure, prostrating themselves on the ground, shivering.

Even the mighty powerhouses of the Primordial World retreated, one after another.

All believed the Heavenly Dao was enraged.

"It's over, Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you're surely going to die this time!"

The Two Sages of the West gazed at the sky-obscuring Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel, shaking their heads in lament.

What they lamented was not that Lu Changsheng would die under the Heavenly Dao, but that their hope for the rise of the Western world would be extinguished.

The other Saints also shook their heads.

To offend the supreme Heavenly Dao was a sure path to death.

"Man's transgressions may be forgiven, but self-inflicted calamity cannot be survived!"

Grand Pure One Laozi also sighed and shook his head.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace also saw that corner of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel in the Primordial World.

He was greatly shaken and also believed Lu Changsheng would surely die.

After all, the Heavenly Dao was supreme; even he, the Dao Ancestor and spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, dared not defy it.

How could you, a person of great Merit, dare to offend the Heavenly Dao?

Do you think the Heavenly Dao is your child?

Just as Hongjun found Lu Changsheng's actions laughable, Just as all beings thought Lu Changsheng was doomed to die, That corner of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel actually evolved into a bridge of golden light, slowly extending to Lu Changsheng's feet.

This was clearly an act of goodwill from the Heavenly Dao.

In an instant, all beings were stunned.

Hongjun was also dumbfounded.

How could this be?

The Heavenly Dao actually agreed?

I am the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, and I have never received such favor. He is merely a Quasi-Saint of great Merit, why does he receive such honor?

Could it be... the Heavenly Dao regards him as its own father?

At this moment, across the vast Primordial World, hundreds of millions of living beings looked up.

They saw above the firmament, strange phenomena emerged one after another, like the Milky Way pouring down endlessly from the nine heavens.

At the pinnacle of the heavens, it was as if primordial chaos had just begun, with dawn light spreading everywhere, and the divine might of chaos pressing down on all beings.

Within the flowing divine charm, a Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel slowly appeared.

In an instant—

Dawn turned into rain, all beings sang in unison, golden light enveloped heaven and earth, and immense Heaven's might descended!

The Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel personally descended upon the Primordial World!

The world trembled, and all beings prostrated themselves in welcome, all in awe of the Heavenly Dao's majesty.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches of the Witch Clan, though they never bowed to heaven and earth.

Yet, at this moment, the Heavenly Dao's pressure enveloped the universe and swept through all beings, causing them to show looks of panic.

"This is the might of the supreme Heavenly Dao?"

"It's actually tens of millions of times more terrifying than a Saint!"

Dijiang exclaimed in shock.

In the past, when facing Hongjun, the Twelve Ancestor Witches still dared to fight in anger.

But now, facing the Heavenly Dao directly, they couldn't even muster the slightest will to resist.

The Demon Clan, from top to bottom, trembled uncontrollably under Heaven's might.

"What is the origin of Immortal Venerable Changsheng? Even the Heavenly Dao has to give him face?"

Di Jun's face was filled with astonishment.

Taiyi, upon witnessing the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel, was equally shocked.

This was a Heavenly Dao phenomenon that had never appeared since the creation of heaven and earth!

The ancient powerhouse Zhen Yuanzi had never witnessed such Heavenly Dao majesty in his life.

"The might of the Heavenly Dao has reached this point... Immortal Venerable Changsheng is merely a Quasi-Saint, yet he is not suppressed in the slightest!"

Ancestor Ming He and Queen Mother of the West arrived together, gazing at the celestial phenomena, their hearts greatly stirred.

Ming He saw the vast radiance of the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel, and that Lu Changsheng could actually make the Heavenly Dao yield, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng is truly the foremost marvel of the Primordial World!"

Queen Mother of the West gazed at the figure in the sky, recalling all the changes in the Primordial World over the years, all caused by him, and sighed in her heart:

"To summon the Heavenly Dao with just a word, perhaps even the Dao Ancestor couldn't do that? Could it be that Immortal Venerable Changsheng's true realm isn't Quasi-Saint?"

Meanwhile, the Six Sages, who had retreated thousands of miles away, watched the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel with turbulent emotions.

When their gazes fell upon Lu Changsheng, whom even the Heavenly Dao actively sought favor with, they could hardly conceal their astonishment.

"Since the creation of the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel has never appeared. Today, it has made an exception for Lu Changsheng?"

Nuwa looked up at Lu Changsheng, who was suspended in mid-air, her thoughts racing.

A being who could receive the Heavenly Dao's protection, and even make the Heavenly Dao yield--

What was his origin?

The Three Pure Ones were equally stirred.

"Could Fellow Daoist Changsheng be the reincarnation of a top-tier Chaos Demon God? No, even if a Chaos Demon God were reborn, it would be absolutely impossible to make the Heavenly Dao condescend like this!"

Grand Pure One Laozi could not hide his shock.

After all, this was the supreme Heavenly Dao that governed all things in the Primordial World.

Even Saints were like ants before the Heavenly Dao.

Primordial and Tongtian exchanged glances in silence, both secretly sighing in their hearts at Lu Changsheng's unfathomable nature.

"This Immortal Venerable Changsheng truly has boundless blessings and immeasurable Merit.

We should visit Wuji Heaven often. If we can befriend him, it will be of great benefit to the West!"

The Two Sages of the West were both astonished that the Heavenly Dao was willing to converse as an equal with Lu Changsheng, and they began to scheme.

They were determined to seize this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Lu Changsheng, who was clearly a walking Merit Supreme Treasure!

If necessary, they wouldn't hesitate to offer assistance and sow the seeds of karma.

After all, if Lu Changsheng were to meet misfortune, their great cause of restoring the West would surely be hindered.

To be fair, among all beings in the Primordial World, only Lu Changsheng dared to converse with the Heavenly Dao in such a manner.

If any other being, even a Saint or Dao Ancestor Hongjun, were to speak so boldly--

They would surely face punishment from the world-destroying divine lightning.

In the depths of chaos, Hongjun in Zixiao Palace showed an expression of disbelief.

"The Heavenly Dao actually laid down a golden bridge of auspicious clouds for Lu Changsheng and agreed to his request for negotiation?"

Hongjun murmured to himself.
