Through these avatars, which could transmit information in real time, not only was the problem of outsiders being unable to strengthen the Character Creation Diagram and Writing Brush of Creation by compiling books resolved, but the issue of how compilers could contact one another was also conveniently solved.
With avatars of the two treasures in hand, so long as the compilers were willing, they could communicate anytime and anywhere, no matter where they were.
"Unfortunately, the Character Creation Diagram and Writing Brush of Creation still aren't powerful enough. Not only can they produce only a limited number of avatars—just over a hundred—but the avatars can only transmit text and images. They can't communicate by voice."
"With so few avatars, they're hardly useful on a large scale."
Thinking of the two treasures' new abilities, Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh. Only now could the Character Creation Diagram and Writing Brush of Creation be said to have barely displayed a fraction of the Earth Emperor's Book and Human Emperor's Brush's potential.
Shouldn't the true Earth Emperor's Book and Human Emperor's Brush be something everyone possessed, allowing all living beings in the Primordial World to communicate in real time through them, unfettered by the limits of distance?
And throughout this process, everything they communicated would be recorded by the Earth Emperor's Book and Human Emperor's Brush.
Although most of that content would be meaningless, a small portion would still contain precious knowledge. That knowledge would be nourishment for the Earth Emperor's Book and Human Emperor's Brush to grow stronger.
Whether the Earth Emperor's Book and Human Emperor's Brush could advance into Innate Supreme Treasures in the future might hinge on this.
Everyone in the Primordial World would possess one, and with the wisdom of all living beings, they would undergo their final transformation, advancing from top-grade Acquired Merit Supreme Treasures to Innate Supreme Treasures.
"This is also a viable path. Without question, the emergence of real-time communication tools will bring people closer together and thereby promote the development of the era."
Jiang Yuan felt that his idea had great potential. Even if he ultimately failed to advance the Human Emperor's Brush and Earth Emperor's Book into Innate Supreme Treasures, he would still gain a substantial amount of Merit.
Promoting the development of the era was itself a meritorious act. Therefore, as long as he accomplished this, there was no possibility of losing out; it was merely a question of making a huge profit or a smaller one.
Then how could he accomplish this and give everyone in the Primordial World a Writing Brush of Creation and Character Creation Diagram? The answer was simple: continue improving these two treasures.
If the avatars they produced were insufficient, it only meant the two treasures were not powerful enough. If they advanced into top-grade Acquired Merit Spirit Treasures, or even Acquired Merit Supreme Treasures—
How could the avatars they produced possibly be limited to just a few hundred? Tens of thousands, even hundreds of millions, would not be the limit.
In short, the stronger the Character Creation Diagram and Writing Brush of Creation became, the more avatars they could produce. At the same time, they would gain more abilities.
At present, the two could only transmit text and images. But as they continued to advance, what they could transmit would no longer be limited to those things. Voice, video, even the person themselves could be sent over.
"Keep improving them? Perfect. I still have some Merit on hand that can help them."
Thinking of that wonderful prospect, Jiang Yuan could hardly wait. He reached out and grabbed the Profound Yellow Grain that had just ripened outside.
The so-called meritorious act was naturally to establish a currency for the Primordial World and perfect its system of measurement. Both were related to Profound Yellow Grain.
As for what that had to do with the Writing Brush of Creation and Character Creation Diagram, once the currency and measurement systems were established, wouldn't they need to be recorded?
And recording this matter would, to some degree, increase the power of both treasures. One must not forget that the History Book was also within them. How could they miss such a historic moment?
"From ten thousand grains of Profound Yellow Grain, one wisp of Profound Yellow Qi can be refined. From ten thousand wisps of Profound Yellow Qi, one drop of Profound Yellow Liquid can be refined."
"From ten thousand drops of Profound Yellow Liquid, one Profound Yellow Crystal can be refined. From ten thousand Profound Yellow Crystals, one Profound Yellow Pill can be refined."
"Profound Yellow Grain, Profound Yellow Qi, Profound Yellow Liquid, Profound Yellow Crystal, and Profound Yellow Pill—these five, from lowest to highest, will be the five currencies of the Primordial World in the future."
Looking at the mountain of Profound Yellow Grain before him, Jiang Yuan spoke solemnly. As his voice fell, an abstruse power descended from somewhere unseen and acted upon the Profound Yellow Grain.
The next moment, a wondrous transformation occurred. The Profound Yellow Grain began to break down, first turning into wisps of Profound Yellow Qi, then swiftly condensing from qi into liquid, from liquid into crystals, and finally into a yellow-black divine pill.
This was the Profound Yellow Pill, the most valuable of the five currencies Jiang Yuan had established. It contained such immense power that, once completely refined, it could raise an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal's cultivation by one year, or an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal's cultivation by ten thousand years.
Yes, it was that exaggerated. One year of cultivation for an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal was equivalent to ten thousand years for an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal, one hundred million years for a Heavenly Immortal, and billions upon billions of years for cultivators below the Heavenly Immortal realm.
"Profound Yellow Grain is meant for the Pre-Heaven Realm, Profound Yellow Qi for the Void Refinement Realm, Profound Yellow Liquid for Heavenly Immortals, Profound Yellow Crystals for Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Profound Yellow Pills for Daluo Golden Immortals."
"The five currencies correspond to five realms. It's exactly right."
Jiang Yuan was very satisfied with the currency system he had established. It covered nearly all living beings in the Primordial World. In truth, above the Profound Yellow Pill was an even stronger Profound Yellow Origin Qi, intended for the Quasi-Saint Realm.
However, Jiang Yuan's supply of Profound Yellow Grain was limited. Being able to condense even one Profound Yellow Pill was already the result of the Heavenly Dao's blessing. He truly lacked the ability to condense Profound Yellow Origin Qi, so he did not mention it.
"Since Profound Yellow Grain is so important, the system of measurement should naturally be related to it as well."
"This is the first Grain Ear born in the Primordial World. Its weight will mark the beginning of the Primordial World's system of measurement and serve as the standard for all things."
After establishing the currency, Jiang Yuan took out the first Grain Ear of the Primordial World that he had collected and solemnly enshrined it within the Sacred Temple.
From this day forth, its mass would be the Primordial World's basic unit of mass, called one sui. One sui consisted of ten thousand grains of Grain, so one sui was also equal to ten thousand Grain.
Above sui was yuan—Yuan as in Jiang Yuan. Ten thousand sui equaled one yuan.
These three were the units of measurement Jiang Yuan had established for the Primordial World. The first two were fine, but the last was purely self-serving. Naming it after himself would undoubtedly raise his fame and thereby gather more Destiny.
Though fame was intangible, it could gather Destiny. This was why powerful people often possessed great fame. It was not that they deliberately showed off, but that they gathered Destiny through this method.
Jiang Yuan was not strong enough to win fame through power, so he could only find another path and earn renown through achievements.
"The system has been established. Next, I need to find a way to promote it and make more people accept it."
As Jiang Yuan recorded what had just happened in the Character Creation Diagram, he silently pondered.
Establishing the currency and units of measurement was not enough. They had to be promoted and accepted by the world; only then could he gain Merit and Destiny.
Otherwise, if no one accepted them, how would this be any different from amusing himself? Asking for Merit then would be laughable enough without being mocked.
Yet promotion would not be easy, and he had to think carefully about how to proceed. But he soon realized that the key to making this happen did not lie in what he thought, but in whether the people of the Primordial World could accept Profound Yellow Grain.
