The 49th Chapter

"Besides, I've been quite conscientious, okay? System, don't wrongly accuse a good person."

"Look, for cultivators below Grand Unity Golden Immortal, I've only ranked ten million people. That's not even one-tenth of the total population of those who have opened up worlds. Isn't that reasonable?"

The System was silent for a long time.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. Could the System have gone offline because he angered it?

However, he believed he had been quite generous.

If he hadn't been worried about the System completely going on strike, he could have listed everyone in the Primordial World on the leaderboard, spending a mere hundred trillion Merit in minutes.

See, he still had the System in his heart.

At least, he hadn't actually done it, right?

If the System knew what Lu Changsheng was thinking at this moment, it would probably be so angry it would jump up and down.

Did it expect him to be grateful for so blatantly disregarding the rules and squandering Merit?

"Heavenly Dao, distribute the Merit!"

Lu Changsheng looked up at the sky and declared loudly.

All living beings looked up, their eyes filled with longing.

As if waiting for the Heavenly Dao to feed them.

The Saints also couldn't hold back, their hearts burning with anticipation.

After all, so much Merit, this wave was a massive profit!

Rumble--

The Heavenly Dao was silent for a moment, and then the entire sky was completely covered by golden clouds.

For hundreds of millions of miles, the sky was an unbroken expanse of golden Merit auspicious clouds.

The clouds slowly descended.

The scene was magnificent.

Phenomena abounded between heaven and earth.

Golden light permeated the air, and golden lotuses filled the sky.

Since the Great Desolation World was created, there had never been such a grand spectacle.

All living beings witnessed this scene, their jaws dropped, unable to close their mouths.

Heavens!

Such dense Merit, it was unprecedented!

This magnificent sight would likely be unforgettable for a lifetime, right?

Immortal Venerable Changsheng!

Truly supremely great!

The amount of Merit, had it already exceeded a trillion?

It was an unimaginable astronomical figure!

In the void.

The Saints, gazing at the vast scene, had tears streaming down their faces.

They were tired.

They didn't love it anymore.

Let it be destroyed.

Was this the joy of a prodigal son?

They wished they could have it too!

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng's realm is indeed a level that we cannot comprehend," Kunpeng lamented with deep emotion.

East King Duke and Randeng nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

The Immortal Venerable's extravagance had refreshed their understanding time and time again.

It wasn't that their imaginations were limited; it was that the Immortal Venerable was simply too much of a spendthrift!

The Six Sages wept like rain, their hearts filled with confusion!

A trillion Merit was exhausted in an instant!

That was a trillion Merit!

If it were used elsewhere, wouldn't it be more valuable?

But it vanished like fireworks, fleeting and gone in a flash.

Heartache!

It's truly agonizing!

They could barely breathe from the pain!

If you really had so much Merit you couldn't spend it all, why not share some with us?

We definitely wouldn't refuse.

Lu Changsheng gazed at the brilliant spectacle of Merit filling the sky, feeling quite satisfied.

This single act consumed trillions of Merit, and he felt he was truly clever.

"System! Are you still alive? If you're not dead, make a sound."

Lu Changsheng called out.

The System had been frozen for so long, had it really broken?

What if it died of anger? How would he spend his Merit in the future?

The System's cold voice sounded again: "Bug has been fixed!"

"Due to the host repeatedly exploiting loopholes to gift Merit, the System will undergo an upgrade!"

"Upgrade rules, perfect mechanism!"

"Concurrently, the host has successfully spent fifty trillion Merit and is rewarded with a mysterious gift package!"

Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised. There was a reward for this?

He had forced the System to upgrade again.

And he still got a reward!

What a sin.

The Great Desolation World was immersed in a vast ocean of Merit.

This was a celebration for the entire Great Desolation.

Even the Six Sages were immersed in it.

There was no other way!

There was simply too much Merit!

Other matters could wait for now.

Let's enjoy this moment first!

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun watched this scene, his mouth twitching slightly.

Heavens!

This was too exaggerated!

That was trillions of Merit!

This guy was too wasteful!

If only all that Merit could be given to him!

Damn it, he was truly envious!

So envious it drove him mad!

Wuji Heaven.

In the magnificent Wuji Heaven, Lu Changsheng opened the mysterious gift package.

"Congratulations on obtaining the Chaos Supreme Treasure World-Destroying Millstone (incomplete)."

"Obtained the Great Dao divine ability: Years Desolate God Finger."

"Obtained the Sky-Opening Profound Scripture."

Wuji Heaven.

"Obtained the Jade of Creation (incomplete)."

The four rewards were displayed before him, and a sharp glint flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

Excellent!

These were all very good rewards!

The Chaos Supreme Treasure World-Destroying Millstone, even in its incomplete state, possessed power far exceeding that of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Shattering space and time with a single blow was by no means difficult.

Its might was terrifying, making it a top-tier offensive treasure.

If it could be fully repaired, its power might rival the Sky-Opening Divine Axe that Pangu wielded in the past.

The Great Dao divine ability, Years Desolate God Finger.

This is a supreme divine ability that surpasses the Heavenly Dao's divine abilities.

Every move possesses the absolute power to destroy worlds!

Once the Years Desolate God Finger is unleashed, heaven and earth will perish!

Even the endless chaos cannot withstand the vast power of this single finger!

If fully unleashed, it's likely that both the Great Desolation and chaos would meet their end together.

This is the supreme might of a Great Dao divine ability.

It is enough to crush everything!

The Jade of Creation, unfortunately, is only a fragment.

It's even smaller than the piece Hongjun possesses.

When the Jade of Creation shattered back then, Hongjun had already obtained the largest piece.

Lu Changsheng found the Jade of Creation quite aesthetically pleasing and developed a desire to collect it.

His sole purpose for collecting them was for their appearance.

The Jade of Creation contained the Three Thousand Laws, and he certainly didn't lack laws.

"I wonder if Hongjun would be willing to sell his Jade of Creation?"

"If he's willing to sell, I could spend a good chunk of Merit."

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.

The last item was the Sky-Opening Profound Scripture, which Lu Changsheng valued immensely.

It contained the essence of sky-opening, capable of expanding world barriers.

This was of the greatest significance to Lu Changsheng.

The size of the Great Desolation World was originally opened up by Pangu.

However, if a powerful cultivator were to act, they could continue to expand the Great Desolation on its existing foundation!

It's even possible to annex the chaos world and replace it.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea to quickly spend his Merit.

Furthermore, the System would definitely not refuse it!

I truly am a genius!

Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged on his Merit-imbued throne, immersed in his newfound idea.

"That's right! Exactly!"

"I really am an expert at spending Merit!"

A deep smile spread across his face.

This new approach would definitely help him rapidly deplete his accumulated Merit.

That is—pioneering new lands.

In the current Great Desolation, although many people were creating worlds, there were still numerous individuals unable to participate.

One reason was the limitation of their cultivation realm.

Without reaching Grand Unity Golden Immortal, they didn't even have the qualification to create a Minor World.

And in the Great Desolation, how many could achieve Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

Compared to the total number of beings in the Great Desolation, this ratio was minuscule.

However, cultivation was not the only obstacle; there were other factors.

This was not difficult to understand.

For instance, among the Saints, only Nuwa, who mastered the Great Dao of Creation, could receive greater Merit rewards when creating worlds.

For cultivators like Tongtian and Primordial, their cultivation paths were not the Great Dao of Creation.

The worlds they created could only be considered ordinary.

If it was like this for Saints, there was no need to mention other cultivators.

Many cultivators were not skilled at creating worlds but excelled in other paths.

Cultivators who practiced the Great Dao of Creation indeed had a significant advantage in this regard.

They were more suited to creating worlds than cultivators of other paths.

The worlds they created were also more advanced.

The Merit obtained was naturally more abundant.

Furthermore, there were limitations to creating worlds themselves.

If one only cultivated a single Law, even creating a Minor World would be extremely difficult.

Opening up a world requires not only mastering one law but also dabbling in others.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to even regulate the yin, yang, and five elements within the world.

A world opened in such a way could not even nurture life.

The System would naturally not deem such a world worthy of much Merit.

Lu Changsheng conservatively estimated that at least sixty percent of the beings in the Primordial World were incapable of opening up worlds on their own.

Therefore, they mostly chose to cooperate in groups to open up heavens and earth together.

However, this way, the Merit distributed to each person would be meager.

So, Lu Changsheng's new plan was to have those who were not skilled at opening up worlds do something else—

Expand the realms of the Primordial World.

Let these people extend the boundaries of the Great Desolation World, causing it to grow continuously until it could encompass all of Chaos.

This method was extremely feasible, and light flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

He felt he had found another smooth path to accumulate Merit!

"System, expanding the boundaries of the Great Desolation World, this is a great Merit-generating endeavor!"

"This time, everyone should benefit, right!"

"No matter what, they have all put in the effort!"

The System did not respond, likely because it had no way to deal with Lu Changsheng.

It had clearly been upgraded already.

Can't you just be content?

Why must you keep coming up with these tricks!

Without receiving a reply from the System, Lu Changsheng was not flustered.

He first pondered the matter of rewards, thinking that he should at least get ten million this time?

No, it would depend on how fast they opened things up.

If Saints were to join, breaking through the barriers of the Great Desolation World would be much easier.

He just didn't know if the Six Sages would be willing to act.

But it didn't matter; he could just give them more Merit if needed.

Lu Changsheng felt regret that Hongjun still hadn't come. It seemed he had to find an opportunity to have him visit.

And also ask about the Jade of Creation.

That thing looked quite nice sitting in the hall.

After planning his new strategy, Lu Changsheng decided to begin trying it out.

Netherworld Sea of Blood.

Although Ming He had gained some Merit, it was still too difficult to prove the Dao of Primordial Unity with just this.

"No!"

"I can't miss this opportunity again!"

"Again and again, I watch opportunities slip away!"

Ming He hardened his heart, and decided to head to Wuji Heaven.

It's not like he wouldn't bow his head and show goodwill!

If he had known earlier that such benefits could be gained, why would Kunpeng and Randeng have gotten the chance?

He would have been the most proactive one!

Whoosh!

His magic power surged, and the void trembled.

A spatial passageway instantly opened, and Ming He stepped into it.

Wuji Heaven.

The spatial passageway appeared, and Ming He emerged from it, his eyes filled with longing.

I'm here!

He had finally arrived at Wuji Heaven!

This time, he was determined to embark on the path to proving the Dao of Primordial Unity!
