The Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel

"Heavenly Dao is supreme. How could Fellow Daoist Changsheng be so impulsive, daring to directly challenge the might of Heavenly Dao?"

Just as the two were puzzled, Fuxi frowned slightly.

Although he wasn't deeply acquainted with Lu Changsheng, based on his understanding of this Fellow Daoist, he was by no means a reckless person.

However, the might of Heavenly Dao was inviolable, and such actions would likely not escape punishment.

Fuxi remained silent, merely gazing at the sky, quietly awaiting Heavenly Dao's response.

As countless beings harbored their own thoughts, Heavenly Dao finally revealed an anomaly.

Above the firmament, the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel reflected in the void, and a pitch-black spatial rift suddenly appeared.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Six Sages all showed shock.

The Heavenly Dao Void actually manifested at this moment?

Could it be that Heavenly Dao truly intended to grant Lu Changsheng's request?

The beings of the Primordial World might not understand the deep meaning of this scene, but the Saints knew its profound mystery.

The Heavenly Dao Void was the core forbidden zone of Heavenly Dao, maintaining the fundamental order of the Primordial World's operation.

If a Saint entered it to comprehend, their cultivation could advance, so it never revealed itself normally.

This was akin to a cultivator's Purple Mansion, being of utmost importance.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was drinking premium immortal tea, couldn't help but spit out his tea upon seeing this scene.

Haotian and Yaochi, standing on either side, were inwardly startled to see the Dao Ancestor lose his composure:

Why was the Dao Ancestor so shaken?

They naturally didn't know that Hongjun, as the spokesperson for Heavenly Dao, had never entered the Heavenly Dao Void since aligning with the Dao.

If he could enter it, Hongjun believed that with his talent and foundation, he would undoubtedly be able to align with the Great Dao more quickly.

But Heavenly Dao had never given him the opportunity, preventing him from fully comprehending the true essence of Heavenly Dao!

And Lu Changsheng? Merely a Quasi-Saint, yet Heavenly Dao actually allowed him to enter.

This kind of action, was like Heavenly Dao being a peerlessly beautiful, world-shattering, and unparalleled divine maiden, while Hongjun was a devoted follower by this peerless beauty's side, silently dedicating himself and showing utmost care.

Who knew that the goddess he had been pursuing so ardently paid him no mind, but in the next moment, she actively welcomed another handsome young man who arrived in an immortal carriage, possessing outstanding demeanor.

Anyone encountering such a situation would find it difficult to accept!

Let alone Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Thinking of this, Hongjun's face had already turned ashen.

However, when his peripheral vision swept over the two young attendants beside him who were looking at him with surprise, he suddenly snapped back to reality.

He secretly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"Hmph—I am the dignified Dao Ancestor, how could I be jealous of such an insignificant being!"

Although he calmed his mind slightly, he still felt an unbearable sourness in his chest.

Enduring for a moment made him think more and more indignantly; stepping back made him feel even more that it was not worth it!

What was he enduring?

How could he not be jealous!!

"Crack!"

The next moment, the teacup in Hongjun's hand, carved from Chaos Immortal Jade, instantly turned into dust.

"..."

Haotian and Yaochi exchanged glances, and quietly retreated.

At this time, the Dao Ancestor was not to be trifled with; it was best to leave quickly.

And on the Great Desolation continent, beings below the Saint Realm did not understand what this "Heavenly Dao Void" was.

They only saw Heavenly Dao exhibiting such an anomaly. Although they didn't understand, they felt its extraordinariness.

Lu Changsheng looked at this void, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and without hesitation, he stepped in.

He knew Heavenly Dao's weakness very well, and therefore did not worry that Heavenly Dao would act against him.

And before the Six Sages could recover their senses, Lu Changsheng had already entered the Heavenly Dao Void--

This action left the Saints stunned for a moment.

He went in? Lu Changsheng actually entered the Heavenly Dao Void?

This was the first being to step into the Heavenly Dao Void since the Great Desolation began!

What was even more unbelievable was that

the Saints of the Great Desolation had not been able to set foot in the Heavenly Dao Void even half a step until now, yet a mere Quasi-Saint had managed to enter before them?

It was truly a case of "comparing people makes saints furious."

The Heavenly Dao Void that the Saints sought but could not obtain, Lu Changsheng, whose Dao realm only reached Quasi-Saint, could come and go freely?

Lu Changsheng took a step into the Heavenly Dao Void.

The surroundings were dark and boundless, vast beyond measure.

Distant starlight twinkled, each star symbolizing a being.

The River of Destiny spread out like a brilliant galaxy, reflecting the paths of all living beings.

This place was like the central hub of the Great Desolation World, governing all laws and order.

At this moment, an Eye of Heavenly Punishment slowly opened in the depths of the starry sky.

That majestic giant eye stared directly at Lu Changsheng, as if scrutinizing his origin—

a being from the Great Desolation, possessing Merit that surpassed the Heavenly Dao, shocking even the Heavenly Dao itself.

Lu Changsheng paid no mind to the gaze of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, and said with a smile:

"Brother Heavenly Dao, since you allowed me in, you've agreed to bestow Merit upon me.

The rest of the matter, I'll trouble you with!"

As his voice fell, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment did not respond, continuing to gaze at him silently.

Lu Changsheng took it as tacit consent, and with a wave of his hand, ten trillion units of Merit surged out, illuminating the dark starry sky with golden radiance, even causing the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to squint as if nearly blinded by the light.

Lu Changsheng slightly reined in the golden light and said with a smile:

"It's not much Merit, only ten trillion.

I'll leave it here for now, please help me distribute it, old brother."

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment then regained its sight, only to be stunned again by this ten trillion units of Merit.

What did ten trillion units of Merit even mean?

The previous trillion units had already shaken all beings in the Great Desolation, even the Heavenly Dao had paused, its Divine Wheel momentarily halted.

If a trillion was already so astonishing, now there was another ten trillion?

And he casually said "it's not much"?

If this wasn't considered much, then what was the Heavenly Dao?

A poor household? A beggar?

However, all of Lu Changsheng's Merit was bestowed by the System...

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao could not investigate Lu Changsheng's Merit status.

If it could, the Heavenly Dao would have likely collapsed on the spot.

After all, ten trillion units of Merit was only one-tenth of his total Merit.

Although it could not ascertain Lu Changsheng's background, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, after a brief moment of confusion, still quickly reacted instinctively.

With a gentle blink of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, The Heavenly Dao Void violently trembled, And the vast starry sky shook intensely.

Amidst the roaring sound of space-time, A divine staff was gently lifted by the power of the Heavenly Dao

And presented before Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng looked up and saw

That the divine staff was surrounded by dense Heavenly Dao Order, Heaven's might permeated, and the staff body flowed with the radiance of the Heavenly Dao.

As the radiance flickered, The unique Dao patterns inscribed on the staff and the light intertwined.

At the same time, that familiar tremor of the Heavenly Dao was felt once more.

Though he couldn't understand the Heavenly Dao's words, Its meaning reached directly into Lu Changsheng's mind--

It was essentially an invitation for him to replace Hongjun and become the new spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, And it bestowed upon him this Heavenly Dao Divine Staff.

This staff possessed most of the Heavenly Dao's authority, Such as the ability to freely summon heavenly tribulations and the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, And even to modify parts of the Heavenly Dao Order, and so on.

And just as the Heavenly Dao was conveying its thoughts to Lu Changsheng, Hongjun, who was waiting in Zixiao Palace for Lu Changsheng to leave, suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

He muttered in surprise:

"Strange, where is this sense of crisis coming from?"

Hongjun muttered to himself while immediately deducing, But found nothing.

Since the Heavenly Secrets already favored Lu Changsheng, how could Hongjun possibly deduce anything?

Because his previous deduction of Lu Changsheng had resulted in a backlash from the Great Dao, He no longer dared to forcefully deduce the Heavenly Secrets.

At this moment, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment looked at Lu Changsheng with a smile, awaiting his consent.

After all, this was the position of the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson, And it was even an unprecedented bestowal of the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, A status far exceeding Hongjun's puppet-like existence.

With such conditions, no being in the Primordial World would refuse.

However, before the Eye of Heavenly Punishment could feel confident for long, Lu Changsheng waved his hand with an impatient expression and refused:

"Old friend, what are you doing?

I consider you a brother, and you want me to be your puppet subordinate?"

Wouldn't this disrupt the seniority?

This spokesperson position, you might as well let your puppet take it!

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's refusal, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment was stunned for a moment.

This was the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson--

And more importantly, a position of real power holding the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff.

It was far superior to a puppet like Hongjun.

Such an honor, and yet someone refused?

The Heavenly Dao was baffled.

Lu Changsheng's refusal, however, had its own reasoning.

If he exhausted all his Merit, he could transcend the Heavenly Dao and achieve the Great Dao Saint realm.

By then, the Heavenly Dao would be nothing more than a subordinate under him.

However, Lu Changsheng's gaze swept over the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff.

He reached out, took it, played with it for a moment, and said:

"This thing is not bad, I'll take it.

As for the position of junior brother, it's best left to Hongjun."

With that, Lu Changsheng completely ignored the shocked look on the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

He picked up the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff and turned to leave.

After only a few steps, he suddenly remembered something.

He turned back and sternly warned the Eye of Heavenly Punishment:

"Old friend, you must remember one thing--

In the future, when distributing Merit, you must use a portion of what I left here.

If you don't use my Merit, I will definitely become angry.

Once I get angry, I will no longer have any intention of opening up a great world in the Primordial World."

This was practically a threat.

But Lu Changsheng was certain that the Heavenly Dao could not do anything to him.

He didn't care what the Heavenly Dao did.

He just wanted to squander all that quadrillion Merit.

Cooperating with the Heavenly Dao was merely a shortcut.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment watched Lu Changsheng's slowly receding back, once again falling into confusion.

How absurd was this?

I, the dignified Heavenly Dao, was actually threatened like this?

And for such a reason?

Merit is like money in later generations--

I'm being blackmailed because I can't "save money" for someone?

It's truly inconceivable!

Looking across the entire Primordial World, only this peculiar person could do such a thing.

Yet, the Heavenly Dao was helpless against it.

After Lu Changsheng left the Heavenly Dao Void, Deep within the starry sky, a low, trembling murmur from the Heavenly Dao could be heard, difficult to suppress.

The general meaning was:

"Since my Heavenly Dao was born, I have never encountered such a peculiar person!"

Lu Changsheng was unaware that his actions had caused the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to silently complain.

He held the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff and reappeared before the Primordial World and its countless living beings.

Seeing Lu Changsheng appear unharmed, all beings were deeply shocked.

Immediately, they also noticed the divine staff in his hand.

Although no one recognized the item, the vast Heaven's might flowing within it was impossible to ignore.

Unlike the lower-cultivated beings of the Primordial World, the Six Sages immediately recognized the origin of the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff.

Upon seeing the divine staff, the Six Sages were stunned on the spot.

"That--could it be the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, which symbolizes the authority of the Heavenly Dao?"

Grand Pure One Laozi exclaimed in shock.

One should know that their master, the master of Saints, the ancestor of Xuanmen, the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, did not possess the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff!

And this Quasi-Saint before them could wield the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff?

This was truly unbelievable!
