Di Tian Creates Spiritual Script! The Four Literary Treasures!!

There were actually more Literary Dao treasures than just brush, ink, paper, and inkstone—many items could promote the inheritance of the Literary Dao.

Yet he had not forged them.

It was as though some unseen barrier prevented him from creating things far beyond this era.

As the foundation of the Literary Dao and indispensable tools for passing down writing, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone had naturally come into being alongside the emergence of written inheritance.

But things like printing tools were far too advanced and utterly useless to the myriad spirits of the Primordial World.

After several unsuccessful attempts at forging them, he stopped wasting his time.

Clearly, Heaven and Earth would not allow him to exploit loopholes. Persisting any further would have been completely pointless.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Feng, Fellow Daoist Wang Shu, please wait here for a moment. I will return shortly."

After bidding the two farewell, Di Tian carried the Four Treasures of the Study he had forged and strode out of the Guest Hall with measured steps, soaring straight toward the Ninth Heaven!

"Great Dao above! Heaven and Earth, bear witness!"

"I am the Star God of the Ziwei Emperor Star, the Master of Heaven, Earth, and Man!"

"During my travels across the Primordial World for tens of thousands of years, I witnessed the races and all living beings rashly wage wars of extermination because their languages differed and their inheritances lacked order, forging enmities that could never be reconciled!"

"This is truly the sorrow of Heaven and Earth, the calamity of the Ten Thousand Races!"

"To ensure that Innate Lifeforms and Acquired Lifeforms among the races of the world no longer rashly raise arms due to linguistic barriers, causing their own inheritances to be severed and vanish into the river of time!"

"I traveled the Primordial World for thirty-six thousand five hundred years, gathering a total of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred forms of written inheritance!"

"And I entered seclusion to study them painstakingly for one hundred and twenty-nine thousand eight hundred sixty-nine years."

"At last, I created Heaven and Earth Spiritual Script, suitable for all races and beings of Heaven and Earth, allowing both Innate and Acquired Lifeforms to communicate and pass down divine abilities and Dao arts!"

"Of these, three thousand six hundred and five are commonly used characters, while one hundred and twenty-five thousand nine hundred and fifty are derivative characters. They correspond to the number of All Heavens Stars and complete the ultimate limit of one primordial cycle!"

"Writing tools: brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"

"From this day forth, the myriad spirits of Heaven and Earth need no longer suffer over linguistic barriers, nor need they fear the severance of their inheritance when their forebears perish!"

"I pray that the Great Dao understands, that Heaven and Earth permit it, and that it spreads throughout the Primordial World, so all races and beings may know it from birth!"

As Di Tian's resounding proclamation gradually faded, Morning Sun Purple Qi surged from the east for hundreds of millions of miles. Waves of Mysterious Dharma Sound rose across the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, while Dao Rhyme Golden Lotuses spread throughout the Primordial World in an instant.

Amid the countless golden lotuses and Mysterious Dharma Sound, the races and living beings came to understand what Di Tian had done and the Merit he had bestowed upon Heaven and Earth.

Together, they bowed solemnly toward his direction, joy shining in their eyes as they paid their respects.

"We thank Lord Di Tian for his grace!"

"You have granted us written inheritance, sparing us from undeserved disasters and the pain of fearing our inheritances will be cut off!"

As the races and living beings cheered in unison, a boundless Merit Ocean that blotted out the sky and covered the earth emerged from the void, descending toward Di Tian.

"Th-This isn't a dream, is it?"

"That coward Di Tian, who always hid away, actually created writing?"

"And he drew down an amount of Merit equal to half the total Heaven and Earth Merit bestowed when the Ferocious Beast Calamity ended!"

"How is that possible?!"

Within a cave dwelling on Mount Sumeru in the Western Region, Luo Hou watched the Merit Ocean descend from the heavens, nearly covering the entire Southern Undying Volcano Group.

His eyes were filled with shock and incomprehension!

They had worked painstakingly and risked their lives to plot the death of Shen Ni and destroy the Ferocious Beast Clan.

Yet all of that could not compare to Di Tian traveling through the Primordial World, gathering the written inheritances of the races, and casually coming up with a few lousy characters.

This was far too unfair!

At the same time, Hong Jun, within his cave dwelling on Jade Capital Mountain, also stared in astonishment at Di Tian as he bathed beneath the Merit Ocean.

The other man's turtle-like habit of hiding away had already made it difficult for him to find an opportunity to scheme against and kill him.

And now, he had gained such an enormous amount of Merit!

Whether Di Tian chose to absorb it to raise his cultivation and strength, or condense it into Merit Golden Light, it would become a tremendous problem for him.

"Couldn't you have just kept hiding on the Ziwei Emperor Star and waited for me to figure out a way to kill you?"

"Why did you have to descend to the lower realm and stir up trouble?!"

"This has become troublesome."

"All my previous plans must be discarded and redone. If I do not kill this man, all my future schemes will be nothing but empty talk and an illusion!"

Other than Hong Jun and Luo Hou, the remaining Demon God Reincarnations were merely somewhat surprised by the sheer amount of Merit Di Tian had received.

They did not display much unusual emotion.

After all, in their eyes, given their foundations and talent, they would sooner or later prove the Dao of Hunyuan and reclaim the great power they possessed at their peaks as long as they cultivated step by step.

At that time, their goal would be the boundless Chaos Void.

The Primordial World opened by Pan Gu was merely a stepping stone. Whatever the lifeforms within did had nothing to do with them.

Of course, if enormous benefits were placed before them, they would certainly run faster than anyone else.

As for Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Qilin, they finally understood Di Tian's intentions in collecting written inheritances back then.

Looking at the Merit Ocean blanketing hundreds of millions of miles overhead, their eyes were filled with regret and fury.

They blamed themselves for accepting Di Tian's things.

Had they not taken the Five Elements Pine Nut back then, at least one-tenth of this vast Merit Ocean would have belonged to them!

And they were furious that Di Tian had dared deceive them.

If he had plainly stated that he intended to create writing, how could they have treated him that way?

They would surely have respectfully invited him back and fully assisted him in accomplishing this great undertaking that benefited the Primordial World!

However, regardless of how the beings of the Primordial World reacted now, the matter had already become settled.

No matter what they did, they could not affect Di Tian in the slightest.

"Merit Golden Light—gather!"

After displaying it to the world for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the Merit Ocean began to divide.

Roughly half of the Heaven and Earth Merit separated from it and flew directly toward Di Tian.

Yet, having long decided what to do, Di Tian immediately chose to gather the Merit Golden Light and condense it around himself the instant the Merit descended.

From then on, whenever anything happened, he could simply shine.

As long as one was not brain-dead, they could basically tell that he was the most beloved person of Heaven and Earth!

Dare to attack him?

As long as you were not afraid of Heaven and Earth Thunder Punishment chasing after you and striking you down, you were welcome to try.

Of course, he was not some useless fool who relied solely on Merit and possessed no actual combat ability.

If some death-defying idiot truly wanted to fight him,

he would certainly leave them with a memory they would never forget!

He would let them see what true despair was!

After exhausting every effort to break through his defenses and preparing to perish together, just when they thought they could land a killing blow,

they would discover that the real battle had only just begun!!

As Di Tian condensed the Merit Golden Light, another thirty percent of the Merit separated from the ocean, splitting into four portions that descended upon the Five Elements Inkstone, Zhou Tian Ink, Starry Pen, and Spiritual Text Scroll!

Of them, the Spiritual Text Scroll that recorded the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Script received the most Merit—a full ten percent.

It instantly transformed into an Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure!

The Five Elements Inkstone, Zhou Tian Ink, and Starry Pen evenly divided the remaining twenty percent of Heaven and Earth Merit.

All three transformed into Top-Grade Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasures!

After Di Tian took the largest share of the Merit Ocean, the remaining twenty percent of Heaven and Earth Merit split into two portions and descended upon Wang Shu and the Phoenix Race.

Following Di Tian's instructions, Wang Shu condensed her Heaven and Earth Merit into Merit Golden Light.

Because the Phoenix Race had so many members, even Yuan Feng, as their leader, only received around one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Merit.

This little Merit was simply insufficient to advance her much further on the path of the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal.

Thus, following Wang Shu and Di Tian's example, she also condensed it into Merit Golden Light.

However, because there was truly too little of it, after condensation, it was only the size of a baby's fist.

If one did not look carefully, it would seem as though Yuan Feng had gained a round, flat hairband atop her head!
