Long-Term Worries, Immediate Concerns

Whether it be currency or units of measurement, everything was tied to the Profound Yellow Grain.

Therefore, as long as the Profound Yellow Grain could be accepted by the world, then with the passage of time, the currency and units of measurement associated with it would also gradually be accepted by the world.

And the Profound Yellow Grain would, by all means, be accepted by the world, perhaps even sought after.

The reason was simple: the Profound Yellow Qi contained within the Profound Yellow Grain was essentially a substitute for Profound Yellow Merit. In situations where merit was difficult to obtain, the Profound Yellow Qi, acting as its substitute, would naturally be highly esteemed by the world.

Profound Yellow Qi was far superior to Pre-Heaven Spiritual Qi. Using it for cultivation not only accelerated one's progress but also mended one's Dao foundation, lowering the difficulty of transforming one's life level.

This was a strategic resource in the truest sense. If one didn't know about it, that was one thing, but once aware, any race with foresight would not dare to ignore it.

There was no choice; born in the Primordial World, who didn't have a few enemies? One might be able to refrain from using the Profound Yellow Grain, but one could not control one's enemies.

If the enemy used it while one did not, the gap would widen over time. In such a scenario, the extinction of one's race would not be far off.

Thinking of this, who would dare not use the Profound Yellow Grain? Not only would they use it, they would scramble to use it, striving to stay one step ahead of others.

In short, when it came to their own survival, the Profound Yellow Grain could not fail to be welcomed by the beings of the Primordial World; its widespread prosperity was only a matter of time.

Once all beings accepted the Profound Yellow Grain, the currency system and units of measurement established upon it would naturally circulate and flourish alongside it.

"Thinking about it this way, the task of promoting currency and units of measurement has actually become simple. There is no need to force it; just let nature take its course."

Having grasped the key to the matter, Jiang Yuan felt much better.

The promotion of currency and units of measurement could be completed concurrently with the promotion of the Profound Yellow Grain. This effectively turned three tasks into one, saving a great deal of trouble, and he would be hard-pressed not to be pleased.

At the same time, today's events had all been recorded by Jiang Yuan in the History of the Human Race. The next moment, it was evident that the power of both the Writing Brush of Creation and the Character Creation Diagram had increased slightly.

They could now manifest more clones, increasing from over a hundred to two hundred—a full doubling.

And this was only the beginning. As books like the Canon of Spirit Herbs, written by Jiang Yuan, were promoted and became known to more people, the power of these two treasures would continue to rise.

By then, they would be able to manifest not just hundreds, but tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of clones.

"The road ahead is long and arduous; I must continue to strive."

Encouraging himself, Jiang Yuan summoned his group of students and distributed the clones manifested by the Character Creation Diagram and the Writing Brush of Creation to them, instructing them to head to the trade zones to interact with different races and record what they saw and heard.

While completing the Canon of Spirit Herbs and drawing the Primordial World Map were important, they could not be rushed, as these tasks required leaving the human territory to travel across the Primordial World.

However, the Primordial World at this time was filled with crises everywhere. To travel abroad, one needed at least the cultivation of the eighth level of the Heavenly Immortal realm to barely possess the ability to protect oneself.

Yet, Jiang Yuan himself was not even a Heavenly Immortal, let alone his students, the strongest of whom were only at the Void Refinement Realm, while the rest were at the Pre-Heaven Realm.

With such strength, leaving the human territory to travel was simply courting death.

Therefore, it was too early for them to complete the Canon of Spirit Herbs or draw the Primordial World Map. It was better to let them practice by recording the rumors of the myriad races, laying the foundation for future book writing.

In this way, when they achieved success in their cultivation in the future and went out to travel, they would know what to do even if Jiang Yuan gave no instructions.

It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person. Jiang Yuan had plenty of time; he was in no rush and could slowly nurture his own core team.

After giving instructions to his disciples, Jiang Yuan left the Sacred Temple and headed toward the residence of Ancestor Sui.

Next, he intended to cultivate the Profound Yellow Grain on a large scale within the human race, which required the support of Ancestor Sui. Furthermore, he needed to hand over the Profound Yellow Pill he had just refined from the Profound Yellow Grain to him.

Do not underestimate this Profound Yellow Pill; it was the first Profound Yellow Pill born in the Primordial World, and thus it had been endowed with special power by the Heavenly Dao.

This was pure power of the Heavenly Dao. If a cultivator at the perfection of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm could refine it, the probability of attaining the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm would increase by at least forty percent.

Forty percent might not seem like much, but a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal with the potential to strike at the Zenith Heaven realm already had at least a thirty to fifty percent chance of success.

With that thirty to fifty percent chance, plus the forty percent provided by this Profound Yellow Pill, unless one was truly plagued by extreme misfortune, there was absolutely no possibility of failing the breakthrough.

Jiang Yuan gave this pill to Ancestor Sui to help him attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm faster. Admittedly, Ancestor Sui had only just entered the Primordial Unity realm; he was still far from perfection, and even further from the Zenith Heaven realm.

But after consuming this Profound Yellow Pill and relying on the insight gained from the power of the Heavenly Dao within it, the time required for him to attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm would be shortened by at least a hundredfold.

Normally, even for the top geniuses of the Primordial World, it would take hundreds of millions of years to attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm without external aid.

Hundreds of millions of years was too long, but if it could be accelerated a hundredfold, that would be one million years. With other external aids, this time could be further shortened to hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

If Ancestor Sui could attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm within a few hundred thousand years, it would undoubtedly serve as a great deterrent to the myriad races, making them afraid to easily take action against the human race.

Yes, Jiang Yuan had a premonition that the myriad races would eventually take action against the human race, so he had to increase the strength of the human race as much as possible before they did.

Why would the myriad races take action against the human race? It was all due to resources. As human trade became increasingly developed, the resources controlled by the human race would surely increase as well.

Seeing this, how could the myriad races not be jealous? They would inevitably try every possible means to tear a piece of meat off the human race.

Do not spout the foolishness that the myriad races would not dare to provoke the human race because of Lady Nuwa's protection. No matter how strong Lady Nuwa was, she could not protect all of humanity. She could only protect this small area on the East Sea Coast.

Here, the human race was absolutely safe. But once they left, whether they lived or died depended entirely on their own fortune.

The human race could not stay on the East Sea Coast forever. Therefore, if the myriad races wanted to deal with the human race, they would inevitably target those who left.

The only way to prevent this from happening was to make the human race strong as quickly as possible—strong enough that the myriad races would not dare to provoke them at will.

How should one define strength? The simplest way was to look at the number of experts within the race. The more Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saint Realm experts a race possessed, the stronger its power.

The Primordial World's definition of a powerful race was one that possessed several Quasi-Saints and over a hundred Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

A race with only one Quasi-Saint in command could only be called a major race. A race with only one Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal in command was a minor race.

A race like the human race, which did not even have a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, was a weak race with no status whatsoever in the Primordial World.
