It turns out that during the war between the Three Tribes, immense karmic sin was created, nearly leading to their extinction.

To preserve their bloodline, the Three Tribes had no choice but to make a Heavenly Dao Oath—the Dragon Tribe would guard the Four Seas, the Qilin would transform into auspicious signs and disappear from the world, and the Phoenix Tribe would guard the Hundred Thousand Volcanoes.

Only then was a sliver of hope for survival secured.

To this day, the Three Tribes are still bound by the Heavenly Dao Oath, unable to break free.

After all, the karmic sin from the past was too heavy to be easily dispelled.

Upon reaching this point, Kong Xuan understood the magnitude of his request. Thus, he lowered his stance considerably, bowing deeply with his forehead pressed to the ground:

"I implore Saint Changsheng to lend his aid. Kong Xuan is willing to serve as your ox or horse, gladly becoming your slave."

However, he failed to notice that Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up the moment his words fell.

"The Phoenix Tribe... how did I not think of this? They are also a force that can be utilized.

After all, many people—no, many birds make for great strength!"

Following this, Lu Changsheng looked at Kong Xuan, his expression growing even more delighted.

That's right, he had taken a liking to Kong Xuan—specifically, his potential.

Although Kong Xuan was born Post-Heavenly, he was formed from the fusion of Yuan Feng's origin with the innate Five Elements Qi.

In terms of origin, he was no less than a top-tier Innate being.

Such a person was precisely what his "Saint Creation Plan" required.

Thus, he reached out to help Kong Xuan up:

"Speaking of being an ox or a horse, your perspective is too narrow."

"Come, little Kong Xuan, do you wish to become a Saint?"

Lu Changsheng's gaze was burning, causing Kong Xuan to feel a prickle of unease.

That look in his eyes, why was it so strange?

But thinking of his kin, he braced himself and nodded.

This way... his people should be saved, right?

Just then, Kong Xuan noticed that Lu Changsheng made no move to leave. Instead, he took out a contract and handed it to him.

After reading the contents of the contract, Kong Xuan was shocked—

By merely following Saint Changsheng, he could obtain resources and help others become Saints?

Was what this contract stated... true?

Could such a good thing exist in the world?

It felt like a trick.

After receiving Lu Changsheng's confirmation, Kong Xuan thought again: whether it was a trick or not, as long as it could save his people from their predicament, he would sign it!

Without hesitation, Kong Xuan signed his name.

Lu Changsheng immediately broke into a wide smile and brought Kong Xuan to where the Phoenix Tribe was located—

The Immortal Volcano.

Here, flames burned eternally, serving as the source of the Primordial World's ley lines.

"The Phoenix Tribe is guarding here?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

Kong Xuan nodded, his eyes unable to hide his excitement.

Lu Changsheng then took out the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, and a surge of Heavenly Dao power swept out, shaking the entire Primordial World.

"I, Saint Changsheng, hereby declare to Heaven and Earth, decreeing that the Phoenix Tribe shall reappear from this day forward, and the Heavenly Dao restrictions shall be lifted!"

As soon as his voice fell, above the Immortal Volcano, an invisible shackle shattered.

In an instant, hundreds of figures ascended from the volcano one after another.

The ancient Phoenix Tribe—

Reappeared in the world!

All beings in the Primordial World were shaken.

Saint Changsheng had actually helped the Phoenix Tribe escape their predicament?

Just then, all beings heard Saint Changsheng continue to speak:

"Welcome, Phoenix Tribe, to the Grand Undertaking of Creation!"

Everyone suddenly understood.

As expected, it was still that Saint Changsheng!

He wasn't even letting the Phoenix Tribe off the hook now!

He was forced to be brought out to contribute again!

.

Immortal Volcano.

Lu Changsheng's words echoed through heaven and earth.

All living beings listened, stunned.

What a guy!

It really is you!

Even the ancient Phoenix tribe, sealed beneath the Immortal Volcano for years, was roped in to work by Immortal Venerable Changsheng!

This is indeed Immortal Venerable Changsheng's usual style!

He doesn't let anyone off!

It wasn't enough to have wreaked havoc on the entire Primordial World; he wouldn't let these ancient races off either!

Truly terrifying.

Rumble--

One colossal figure after another flew out from the Immortal Volcano.

"Our Phoenix tribe finally sees the light of day!"

The leading figure was immensely huge, engulfed in blazing flames.

Profound Daoist principles and the power of rules encircled its entire body.

The immortal and indestructible Phoenix Fire burned fiercely.

Phoenixes soared through the sky, letting out clear, long cries.

Phoenix cries shook the heavens!

The entire sky was dyed a fiery red.

The Phoenix tribe--reappeared in the world!

In the void, Lu Changsheng wielded the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, standing tall and majestic.

The Heavenly Dao's seal on the Immortal Volcano had been shattered by his hand.

From this moment on, the Phoenix tribe was finally free.

All living beings witnessed this scene, utterly shocked.

It was broken?

So easily!

As expected of Immortal Venerable Changsheng!

The Heavenly Dao's shackles on the Phoenix tribe were effortlessly dissolved by him.

One must know, the sealing of the Phoenix tribe in ancient times was decreed by the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Even a Saint's arrival would find it difficult to break it so casually.

Only Lu Changsheng, holding the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, possessed such power!

High in the void, the Six Sages watched everything, their eyes filled with envy.

The Heavenly Dao Divine Staff, wielding the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Without this item, even they, Heavenly Dao Saints, would struggle to break the limits set by the Heavenly Dao.

After all, Saints were still beneath the Heavenly Dao.

If they were Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals, perhaps there would be a slight chance.

"This staff symbolizes the authority of the Heavenly Dao; in the Primordial World, only Lu Changsheng possesses it."

"Truly, there's no point in envying."

Primordial's tone was deep as he slowly spoke.

Jieyin and Zhunti also sighed in agreement.

Yes, no matter how much they envied, it was beyond their reach.

Who could have imagined that Lu Changsheng was so "generous" in the entire Primordial World?

Inhumane.

He treated the Heavenly Dao like a brother and commanded it like a subordinate.

Who had ever seen such a person?

It was utterly outrageous!

If not for Lu Changsheng's generous actions, the Six Sages would have found it difficult to accept this reality.

"Alas."

"We are, after all, just poor cultivators."

Tongtian sighed, blunt as ever.

Laozi and the other Saints heard him and were left speechless.

Anyone who dared call a Saint a poor cultivator would surely be executed.

But if that person were Lu Changsheng

Never mind.

They truly were poor cultivators.

Compared to Lu Changsheng's effortless dispensing of Merit, they were practically destitute.

Still, Tongtian's words were grating.

The Phoenix tribe returned to the world, their fiery presence engulfing the heavens.

Their patriarch, Yuan Qing, transformed into human form and knelt respectfully before Lu Changsheng, proclaiming loudly:

"The Phoenix tribe thanks Saint Changsheng for your grace in saving us!"

The other members of the Phoenix tribe followed suit, kneeling in unison.

"We express our deepest gratitude to Saint Changsheng!"

Their voices were filled with irrepressible joy.

After being confined by the Heavenly Dao within the Immortal Volcano for countless years, they could finally return to the world!

Kong Xuan also knelt without hesitation, exclaiming emotionally:

"Kong Xuan thanks Immortal Venerable Changsheng!"

He was no longer a solitary figure in the Primordial World, but reunited with his kin.

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, surrounded by the Three Thousand Laws, and asked:

"Are you willing to create a world together?"

Yuan Qing responded without hesitation:

"We are willing!"

Although the Phoenix tribe had been sealed in the Immortal Volcano, they were not entirely cut off from the outside world and were aware of external affairs.

Creating a world would earn Heavenly Dao Merit. How could they refuse such an opportunity?

Moreover, for the Phoenix tribe, this was a chance to revitalize their clan and rise rapidly.

The current Phoenix tribe was far from its ancient glory. Patriarch Yuan Qing was merely at the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, and the entire tribe had only three Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Compared to the former era where Quasi-Saints emerged in droves, the disparity was vast.

Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with the Phoenix tribe's response.

With their participation in world creation, they could also contribute more to the accumulation of Merit.

"Excellent."

"This Venerable One anticipates your actions. Take care of yourselves."

After offering a few words of encouragement, Lu Changsheng was about to depart when suddenly, a vast Saintly might erupted into the sky, covering hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, shaking the countless beings of the Primordial World.

The Saintly might pierced through the clouds, shaking the galaxy.

Wondrous phenomena appeared across the heavens and earth.

All living beings were shocked and began to discuss:

"Heaven and Earth phenomena! Such immense Saintly might!"

"Someone has attained sainthood!"

"Who could it be... to achieve a Saint position at this very moment?!"

Innumerable beings felt a tremor in their hearts, speculating who had entered the Saint Realm.

The Primordial World had finally welcomed the birth of a new Saint!

Longevity Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi's face was filled with shock as he exclaimed, "Who?!"

"This Saintly might... it's coming from Wuji Heaven!"

"Someone has attained sainthood? Is it Kunpeng, East King Duke, or Randeng?"

Hongyun stared blankly, lost in thought. How much time had passed since then?

Among the three, one has actually become a Saint?

Heavens!

What exactly did Immortal Venerable Changsheng do? How did he create a Saint?

Is becoming a Saint... really that simple?

The Nether Blood Sea.

Ming He was filled with disbelief. Someone had become a Saint before him?

Damn it!

Who was it that got ahead of him?

For years, he had been creating worlds day and night, all for the sake of proving the Dao and becoming a Saint. Yet, someone had beaten him to it.

"Those three sycophants!"

"This enrages me!"

Ming He was burning with anger. The East King Duke and the other two were practically fawning followers!

Yet, in the end, they got everything they wanted.

And himself? He could only cultivate desperately here.

It was truly hateful!

Why didn't he seize that opportunity back then?

A vast Saintly might swept across the Primordial World, leaving countless ancient Quasi-Saint mighty figures shocked and dazed.

Becoming a Saint—

To them, it had always been such a distant realm.

Now, someone had truly stepped into it again?

In the void, the Six Sages, who were about to depart, also froze.

What was going on?

Weren't all the Saint positions in the world already filled?

How could someone still prove the Dao and become a Saint?

What in the world was happening?

"Wuji Heaven!"

"The Saintly might is coming from Wuji Heaven!"

"Could it be that Kunpeng and the others have become Saints?!"

Jieyin's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice.

Zhunti's expression darkened. He suddenly remembered Lu Changsheng's "Saint Creation Plan."

Could it be... he had actually created a Saint?

Even the Father of the Heavenly Dao shouldn't be this powerful!

Laozi also recalled this matter, countless Dao principles flowing in his eyes as his gaze pierced through the void.

Primordial and Tongtian also looked towards Wuji Heaven simultaneously.

Wuji Heaven.

The majestic Saintly might shook the Nine Heavens, causing the brilliant galaxy to sway.

A figure slowly walked out from within. It was the East King Duke.

The East King Duke smiled and announced loudly, "I, the East King Duke, have today proven the Dao and attained Primordial Unity!"

His voice shook the universe and echoed throughout the Primordial World.

Countless living beings immediately knelt and paid their respects.

"We pay homage to Saint Donghua!"

The East King Duke stood tall in Wuji Heaven, radiating a majestic Saintly might that shook the Nine Heavens.

Under the shroud of this Saintly might, he appeared ethereal and immortal, fully displaying the bearing of a Saint, causing countless beings to sigh with emotion.

This was a Saint!

To become a Saint overnight was to reign over the Primordial World!
