Even though it was just a phantom, the immense heavenly might still covered the entire Primordial World.

Following that, endless auspicious energy permeated the land.

Rolling spiritual energy erupted in various parts of the Primordial World, and divine chains of order intertwined and appeared.

Countless beings broke through their realms in a single breath. The Primordial World was filled with surging energies and myriad phenomena.

Especially Wuji Heaven

It was further enveloped layer by layer by the Heavenly Dao Order.

This was not only a profound blessing bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, but it also meant that it would receive the Heavenly Dao's protection.

Upon witnessing this scene, all beings were astonished.

The Heavenly Dao was actually protecting Wuji Heaven!

All spirits were shaken.

They vaguely understood that Immortal Venerable Changsheng had reached a critical juncture in his path to enlightenment and needed…

But no one had expected the spectacle to be so grand!

Anyone could sense that any being who dared to approach Wuji Heaven at this moment would surely be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao itself had descended to protect the path!

What is prestige?

This is the majesty of Immortal Venerable Changsheng!

Even the Six Sages of the Primordial World were horrified.

The Six Sages had just returned from Zixiao Palace and were about to return to their respective dojos.

Who would have thought that the phenomenon of Lu Changsheng achieving sainthood would suddenly erupt?

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng has actually become a Saint... too fast!"

Taiqing spoke, his expression no longer calm.

Primordial and Tongtian, standing nearby, were also filled with excitement.

Recalling their own paths to enlightenment, had they not endured countless tribulations and desperately sought opportunities before finally achieving sainthood with great difficulty?

Yet, Lu Changsheng not only achieved sainthood so quickly, but even the Heavenly Dao itself had personally appeared to protect his path.

Even just the phantom of a Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel was enough to awe all heavens!

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng is indeed extraordinary!"

Nuwa exclaimed softly, her heart in turmoil.

Jieyin and Zhunti were even more envious.

With the Heavenly Dao's protection, how could the West not prosper?

However, this was ultimately just wishful thinking.

Not everyone could receive such favor.

Even Hongjun might not have such an honor.

Jieyin and Zhunti did not know that their guess was indeed correct.

At this moment, within Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun's lips twitched, his face filled with unwillingness.

Heavenly Dao, your favoritism is too obvious!

Even I don't receive such treatment!

"Why!"

"Is it because he has Merit that he can act so recklessly?"

Hongjun's heart grew increasingly resentful.

However, the outside world had no effect on Lu Changsheng whatsoever.

He had now easily condensed the Primordial Unity Dao Fruit and calmly stepped out of his seclusion.

Achieving sainthood was merely an ordinary step for him.

Kunpeng, Randeng, and East King Duke were initially stunned in place, and when they saw Lu Changsheng, they hadn't reacted yet.

But soon, they snapped back to their senses, their hearts filled with inexpressible shock.

Immediately, they respectfully stepped forward, their voices becoming even more humble:

"Congratulations, Great Master, on achieving Primordial Unity, transcending all realms, and becoming immortal and indestructible."

However, Lu Changsheng did not respond to the three's congratulations.

He soared into the sky, his voice echoing throughout the Primordial World:

"I, Lu Changsheng, have achieved Primordial Unity today, bestowing grace upon all beings. I shall descend a three-day Merit Rain to bless all things."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Great Desolation World trembled.

How domineering!

The moment Lu Changsheng appeared, Kunpeng, Randeng, and East King Duke were filled with unspeakable shock.

Their Great Master had actually achieved Primordial Unity!

That Saint's might was absolutely not fake.

Could anyone in this world truly achieve a Saint position so quickly?

Snapping back to reality, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

But Lu Changsheng paid them no mind.

He proclaimed to heaven and earth that he would bestow three days of merit rain to benefit all living beings.

At that moment, the three felt their legs go weak, almost collapsing to their knees.

Merit rain?

For three consecutive days?

Was this what it meant to be rich!

At this moment, everyone felt as if the Great Master was radiating golden light, with two words clearly written on his face—

Dominance!

Countless beings in the Great Desolation World were also shaken.

They erupted in an uproar!

They gazed at Lu Changsheng, who stood majestically and incomparably solemnly in the nine heavens, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Three consecutive days of merit rain?

Was this something a human could do?

How much merit would that cost?

Could it be that Lu Changsheng's merit was endless?

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng no longer spoke.

He was negotiating with the System.

"Ding, the System has determined this to be gratuitous distribution of merit, which does not comply with regulations. Please change your decision, Host."

Upon hearing the prompt, Lu Changsheng didn't even think about it.

How could he agree to that!

If he changed it, how could he spend his wealth?

How else would he spend his trillions of merits!

He had finally found a reason, he absolutely couldn't change it!

So he decided to reason with the System.

"How does this not meet the requirements? I think it's very reasonable."

"System, look, aren't all beings in the Great Desolation World helping me to open up the world?"

System: "Yes."

"Since that's the case, aren't they my employees?"

System: "Yes."

"Then isn't it normal for a boss to give bonuses to employees?"

"This..."

The System was momentarily speechless.

It seemed logical, yet something felt wrong.

Soon, the System found a loophole.

"What about those beings who did not participate in the opening of the world?"

"They didn't contribute, yet they received merit. Isn't this giving it away for free?"

"This kind of behavior is a gift."

Lu Changsheng thought, this System is truly something, to actually find a flaw.

However, he was even better.

"You call yourself mechanical, and you truly are mechanical. Do you understand what publicity and promotion are?"

"If I don't give them some benefits, how can they be loyal to my Wuji Heaven? And how can I attract more people to work for me?"

"This is a necessary promotional investment, a reasonable cost expenditure!"

Lu Changsheng retorted righteously.

"..."

This set of business rhetoric actually managed to confuse the System, leaving it silent for a long time.

Lu Changsheng seized the opportunity, not giving the System time to react, and waved his hand—

"Go back and think it over carefully. This matter is settled!"

He couldn't help but feel a surge of secret delight.

Did he really need to say that? What wouldn't I do to exhaust this Merit?

At this moment.

The beings of the Primordial World also gradually recovered their senses.

Immediately, their hearts trembled, finding it hard to believe.

"As expected of Wuji Heaven, so generous with its actions, directly bestowing a rain of Merit!"

Inside Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi sighed with emotion, a hint of bitterness in his tone.

Beside him, Hongyun also felt a pang of sadness.

He recalled how he had exchanged two hundred million Merit for the Primordial Violet Qi, thinking it was an astronomical fortune, even more Merit than a Primordial Saint possessed.

At that time, just holding that Merit, he couldn't stop smiling.

He was so pleased with himself!

But compared to Lu Changsheng, he was practically a beggar!

A rain of Merit for three consecutive days, how much Merit must one possess to perform such a heaven-defying act?

At this moment, Hongyun finally understood what it meant to be "incredibly wealthy."

This is true extravagance!

Gazing at Lu Changsheng's heroic figure in the sky, the more he looked, the more handsome and extraordinary he seemed.

Immortal Venerable Changsheng, truly rich and talented!

No—

He should be called Saint Changsheng now!

Just then.

Heaven and earth suddenly shook and rumbled.

Across the entire Primordial World, a continuous, fine golden rain began to fall.

This was no ordinary rainfall; it was drop after drop of golden Merit!

"Mother, it's raining Merit from the sky!"

In this instant.

Whether mortal, demon, or cultivator, even ancient great beings, all walked out of their homes and cave dwellings.

Facing this sudden, heaven-sent opportunity, everyone was stunned.

Saint Changsheng actually kept his word!

Immediately, no one dared to delay. They all sat cross-legged on the ground, refining the Merit with all their might!

Although each drop of Merit was not much, it accumulated, and the total amount would eventually become large!

At this moment.

High above the nine heavens.

The Six Sages of the Primordial World were already dumbfounded, utterly shocked.

The Sages raised their hands, looking at the "misty drizzle" falling into their palms.

It was indeed pure Merit, without a doubt.

They did not make a move to snatch it—how could they lose face by competing with the common beings for Merit?

Moreover, this Merit was insignificant to them; it was merely a gentle drizzle, and the amount they could refine in three days was limited.

They were primarily shocked by Lu Changsheng's astonishing undertaking!

They had known Lu Changsheng was extravagant for a long time.

But they never expected him to be this extravagant!

A full three days of Merit rain, and it covered the entire Primordial World!

When converted, this sum was simply too vast to estimate.

They could hardly believe that such an immense quantity of Merit could exist in the world!

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng's generosity... is a bit too extravagant!"

Taiqing and the others' eyelids twitched, their mouths twitching.

What kind of action was this that ordinary people could even conceive of?

This wasn't just squandering wealth, it was practically digging up and discarding their ancestral graves!

For a full three days, the fine rain of merit did not cease.

Throughout the Great Desolation, there was a sudden, profound silence.

Even opponents who had been fighting to the death moments before immediately sat down, seizing every second to refine the merit.

Within three days, living beings everywhere broke through.

On the Great Desolation land, fluctuations of realm advancements rose and fell.

Even more astonishingly, Nourished by the continuous fine rain, countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures actually awakened their intelligence and successfully underwent form transformation.

Mountains, rivers, forests, even a simple piece of spiritual rock, Could transform and take shape.

The entire Great Desolation radiated an unprecedented vitality.

Mountains stood up, plants opened their eyes, and ginseng pulled themselves out of the soil.

The earth itself flipped over and sat up, the entire forest seeming to come alive.

This was not a coincidence, but a scene playing out across the Great Desolation.

These newly born intelligent life forms were filled with gratitude towards Wuji Heaven.

They knew full well that their lives were a gift from Wuji Heaven.

The other living beings were equally awestruck.

"This rain of merit can be called a grand spectacle of the Great Desolation!"

"Never before since the creation of heaven and earth!"

"We are witnessing history!"

Within Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed excitedly.

Gradually, more and more living beings awoke from their cultivation, their faces beaming with surprise and gratitude.

Their cultivation had all greatly improved due to this fortuitous encounter.

Amidst their joy, countless beings of the Great Desolation bowed piously in the direction of Wuji Heaven.

"We thank Saint Changsheng!"

"We thank Saint Changsheng!"

"We thank Saint Changsheng!"

Billions of living beings thanked Lu Changsheng from the bottom of their hearts for bestowing upon them this immense fortune.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng paid no mind to these accolades.

He was using the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff to inspect the merit consumed over these three days.

"Not bad, three hundred billion merit used."

Seeing the number, Lu Changsheng felt a surge of joy.

At this moment, the System suddenly issued a prompt.

"Ding, rule supplement complete. This method has been prohibited."

The System had finally noticed and plugged the loophole.

Lu Changsheng pouted and grumbled, "So stingy."

He then dismissed the thought.
