"Fellow Taiyi, I'm trying to sort out the Primordial Earth Veins all by myself. This is such a huge project, surely I can't handle it all by myself?"

"If I hadn't sorted out the earth's veins myself, and it had been done by someone else, I'm afraid the Heavenly Dao wouldn't have approved it."

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi had roughly figured out Taiyi's meaning.

It's simply about making the most of what he has, taking advantage of the characteristics of the Earth Book Heaven and Earth Membrane, and taking advantage of his proximity to the source to manage the earth's veins.

Then, by using the merit of sorting out the Primordial Earth Veins, Prove Dao and become a Sage.

Of course, the merit of simply tracing the earth's veins is certainly not enough to achieve sainthood.

There must be something else in this that I haven't yet figured out.

"If you can't handle it by yourself, you can delegate it to someone else!"

"You can decide whether to contract out the project of sorting out the ley lines to a certain organization or to use a distribution system."

"No matter what, you initiated the work of sorting out the earth's veins, so it belongs to you. Even if others sort out the earth's veins, you will also receive a share of the merit."

With the help of the advanced humanitarian rules system of later generations, Taiyi easily came up with a solution.

In fact, this method is not unique to humanity.

Is a system created by Shinto.

It was simply borrowed by humanity and further developed, and applied to all aspects of the human world.

Humanity lies in uniting the masses.

One person's plan is short-sighted, but three people's plans are far-sighted.

One person's strength is weak, but the strength of many is great.

Many hands make light work.

Assembly line production.

Etc.

These are all the most direct and appropriate manifestations of this rule.

"Fellow Taiyi, do you mean that I can take on the task of sorting out the earth's veins and then subcontract it to other Primordial Wilderness spirits?"

"For example, each mountain and ley line has a specific deity responsible for managing and suppressing it?"

"From now on, these people will be the deities under the earth vein system that I created, and because the earth veins need to be sorted out and suppressed, they will also be able to obtain a continuous stream of Heavenly Dao Merit."

"Therefore, this is an unbreakable foundation of my earth veins."

"As long as the Primordial Wilderness exists, my earth vein will never perish."

As Zhen Yuanzi spoke, his eyes shone brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

If such extraordinary achievements cannot Prove Dao and become a Sage, then Zhen Yuanzi truly doesn't know what kind of merit can Prove Dao and become a Sage.

"Not bad, this child is teachable!"

Taiyi clapped his hands and laughed.

This is precisely the top-secret thing that Taiyi wanted to tell Zhen Yuanzi.

He bestowed titles upon the gods of mountains and rivers, the Earth Deity, River Earl Water God.

Furthermore, once the Earth Immortals develop together in the future, they may even be able to accommodate and integrate the marine lineage of the Dragon Clan.

The Primordial Wilderness land is home to mountains, rivers, and the four oceans; there's no reason why the ocean lineage, where the Dragon Clan reside, should be exempt from this.

Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Immortal Lineage can encompass anything related to the earth.

Just as Houtu Prove Dao and become a Sage and evolved the Six Paths of Reincarnation Houtu, Youming Zhen Yuanzi also contributed to the merits of the Netherworld, which is the land that bears the Underworld.

Even if the Netherworld Ancestor Minghe Ruler of the Netherworld the Blood Sea Styx, were to be controlled by Zhen Yuanzi's command.

There's no way around it; if someone were to truly and completely control the underground sect, it would be far too terrifying.

Hongjun was merely the representative of the Heavenly Dao, yet he was able to dominate the Primordial Wilderness for countless years.

Not to mention the ancestor of the Dao who completely controlled the underground passage.

Therefore, having Houtu and Nether River Styx River respectively govern the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Netherworld Underworld was Taiyi's strategy of checks and balances.

This is not because Taiyi is worried about letting Zhen Yuanzi control the Dao alone.

The purpose of this is for the development and balance of the Primordial World.

Everything Taiyi does is for the better development and growth of the Primordial World.

All people and things that violate this ironclad rule will be pushed away by Taiyi.

Next, Taiyi subtly brought up the matter of the Earth Dao's Revival with Zhen Yuanzi.

He also revealed his arrangements for Houtu and Nether River.

Zhen Yuanzi expressed his approval and understanding.

He then said, "Fellow Taiyi, to be honest, even if you packed up the entire tunnel and gave it to me, I still couldn't eat it."

As the saying goes, "You can only hold a bowl the size of your hands, eat as much rice as your stomach can handle, and enjoy as much happiness as your virtue allows."

"In all things, one should follow the natural course and act within one's means."

"Although I am not a person of exceptional talent, I am still aware of this much."

Seeing the genuine sincerity on Zhen Yuanzi's face, and recalling the magnanimity and loyalty of the Zhen Yuanzi of later generations, Taiyi nodded with pleasure.

"It is truly remarkable that Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi possesses such a clear understanding."

"Some people, despite their insatiable greed, still try to swallow an elephant whole."

"In my opinion, this is a righteous way to die."

Taiyi pointed towards the direction of the Purple Mansion Continent, but his eyes were fixed on the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace.

Zhen Yuanzi was startled.

Is this Heavenly Court official referring to the Eastern King Duke, or is he alluding to the Dao Hongjun Daozu?

However, neither side is someone that Zhen Yuanzi can afford to offend right now.

Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi suppressed his curiosity.

"Fellow Zhen Yuanzi, this is the primordial Primordial Violet Qi that escaped after Hongyun's fall."

"Now, I will give it to you, hoping that you will soon comprehend the rules of the Earth and Prove Dao and become a Sage."

"In addition, I would like to mention that Fellow Daoist Hongyun's True Spirit is also hidden within it, which is extremely rare."

He stretched out his palm and gently opened it. An invisible and formless halo, shining with Primordial Violet Qi, appeared in Taiyi's palm.

No matter how much this Primordial Violet Qi struggled and conflicted, it could not escape.

With trembling hands, Zhen Yuanzi gently accepted the Primordial Violet Qi and held it in front of him as if he were holding a priceless treasure.

"Such a treasure, Taiyi gave it to me so readily, I really don't know how to repay him."

"My old friend Hongyun, I must also thank Fellow Taiyi for saving me."

Zhen Yuanzi said with a look of deep reverence.

Zhen Yuanzi realized that, without realizing it, he had incurred Taiyi karmic debt.

No need for formalities.

"As long as Zhen Yuanzi Prove Dao and become a Sage and comprehends the Earth Law as soon as possible, that would be the best reward for me."

Taiyi waved his hand with a heroic gesture, interrupting Zhen Yuanzi's unwarranted sentimentality, and said firmly.

"Although Hongyun has perished, a wisp of her True Spirit remains, and there is still a possibility of her reincarnation!"

"However, this will have to wait until Houtu establishes the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Earth Dao's Revival."

Zhen Yuanzi remained silent.

Even if a wisp of True Spirit remains, it may be blessed by Heaven to be reincarnated.

However, this Hongyun is not the same as that Hongyun.

Unless one Prove Dao and become a Sage, and awakens to the truth of past and present lives.

Otherwise, even if this wisp of Hongyun True Spirit were a reincarnation, it would have no connection with Zhen Yuanzi.

Unable to contain himself, Zhen Yuanzi was overcome with grief.

Another tear fell.

"My old friend!"
