The Distribution of Authority over Reincarnation
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, hand over that one-tenth of the Authority of Reincarnation!"
Hongjun looked at Ao Changsheng expressionlessly and spoke.
"..."
Ao Changsheng clicked his tongue but did not answer Hongjun.
But...
No answer is the best answer.
Good things that have been acquired, no matter how they were acquired, now that they're in Ao Changsheng's hands, shouldn't be handed over so easily.
That's impossible.
Ao Changsheng and Hongjun confront each other.
Pingxin, standing to the side, watched the show with a faint smile.
Although...
It's a bit unreasonable for her, the person involved in the cycle of reincarnation, to just stand by and watch.
But...
It's really quite enjoyable to watch the drama unfold between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Ao Changsheng, two powerful beings far surpassing her.
Moreover, regardless of the outcome of the confrontation between the two powerful beings, it will be beneficial and harmless to her.
Currently, all cycles of reincarnation in the Primordial World.
All of this has already been taken care of by the 'World of Reincarnation', which was created by Ao Changsheng, expanded by Hongjun, and supported by Houtu.
In other words, the authority over this cycle of World of Reincarnation is equivalent to the Authority of Reincarnation the Primordial World cycle of reincarnation.
If Ao Changsheng hadn't intervened, the remaining half should have gone to Pingxin and Hongjun, who represented the Heavenly Dao.
No, that's not right.
Without Ao Changsheng's intervention, this cycle of World of Reincarnation would not exist.
The division of the Authority of Reincarnation between Pingxin and Heavenly Dao Hongjun will remain an unknown.
However, as a Pingxin who has been reincarnated, Pingxin will definitely have a greater advantage over the Heavenly Dao Hongjun in terms of the Authority of Reincarnation.
But...
The current situation is not necessarily a bad thing for Pingxin.
After all, a pre-prepared World of Reincarnation means that Pingxin can devote all his power to reincarnating himself without needing to create a new world.
This means that the plate of Authority of Reincarnation will be much larger than before, and not just a little bit bigger.
Leaving aside the fact that this is no longer possible, let's focus on the current situation.
If Ao Changsheng hadn't taken away 10% of the Authority of Reincarnation...
In that case, Pingxin and Hongjun, who represents the Heavenly Dao, should each receive half.
Then, Pingxin secretly created the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which would relinquish approximately two percent of his authority to the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
Thus, Pingxin held 48 percent of the Authority of Reincarnation, while Heavenly Dao Hongjun held 52 percent.
Although, this Authority of Reincarnation is not like a mortal company, where more than 50% of the normal shares constitute absolute control.
However, the more Authority of Reincarnation one possesses, the more benefits one will naturally receive, and one may even gain an absolute advantage in certain confrontations.
But now...
Ao Changsheng's intervention directly seized 10% of the Authority of Reincarnation.
Currently, the Authority of Reincarnation is held by Pingxin (43%), Heavenly Dao Hongjun (47%), and Ao Changsheng (10%).
Although Ao Changsheng's ten percent of the Authority of Reincarnation is not a lot, whether it is for Pingxin or for the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
But by sheer coincidence, he Pingxin together occupy 53% of the Authority of Reincarnation, exceeding the maximum power held by the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, under normal circumstances.
Although losing five percent of the Authority of Reincarnation is indeed a bit of a loss.
But for Pingxin, it meant having an ally who could turn the tide of battle when he was at a disadvantage against Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
This five percent...
I still feel sorry for him!
Pingxin Pingxin's calm and composed smile lay an unspeakable heartache.
After all, she created a Six Paths of Reincarnation, and only then did she relinquish two percent of her Authority of Reincarnation.
Although this also involves relinquishing invaluable initiative regarding the authority over Authority of Reincarnation.
But five percent of the Authority of Reincarnation is definitely not a small number!
But what could she do?
Feeling the Heavenly Dao pressure emanating from Heavenly Dao Hongjun on the left, it was confirmed that he was a powerful figure not to be trifled with!
Then look at Ao Changsheng on the right. He seems to possess the immense power of a vast world. I've confirmed it, he's a powerful figure you can't beat!
Having just achieved Sage, he also lost the Ancestral Witch True Body he had always relied on.
Pingxin's current strength, even compared to the Six Sages of the Primordial World, is arguably somewhere in the middle among the Sages...
After all, there are six saints, and behind them are three losers who haven't even completely eradicated their Three Corpses!
She, Houtu... she Pingxin at least cultivated to the Quasi-Sage Great Perfection, a normal path to sainthood.
Although he doesn't possess any supreme treasures, he still holds 43% of the Authority of Reincarnation, so he can't possibly be weak.
Pingxin, standing to the side, let her thoughts wander Pingxin, trying to process the surprise of suddenly attaining sainthood today.
On the other side.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng! This is not something you should possess. Hand it over!"
Hongjun's tone gradually turned cold, the void around him began to distort, and the pressure of the Heavenly Dao slowly intensified.
"How is it not something I should possess? After all, I created this world!"
Ao Changsheng curled his lip.
"I have already entrusted the merit of creating this world, and the Great Dao of Water as a reward, to you, fellow Daoist," Hongjun said expressionlessly.
"Then I'll just return the merit to you..." Ao Changsheng said softly.
As for the Great Dao of Water?
What Great Dao of Water? There isn't one.
Heavenly Dao Hongjun: "..."
Having clearly understood Ao Changsheng's meaning, Heavenly Dao Hongjun almost lost his composure and could no longer maintain his expressionless face.
"The merits bestowed by Heavenly Dao cannot be taken back!" Heavenly Dao Hongjun said coldly.
Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Ao Changsheng blinked, realizing that he might have gone a bit too far.
The relationship between Heavenly Dao and merit is like the relationship between the thing that prints money and the money itself.
It's always those who print money who use banknotes to pelt people.
There's no such thing as using banknotes to bombard the printing of money, right?
"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng, don't force this old Daoist to take action!" Heavenly Dao Hongjun continued coldly, while a pair of closed Eye of the Heavenly Dao slowly emerged in the void above his head.
All around, streaks of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, carrying an incomparably domineering aura of destruction, flickered.
"Alright, stop showing off your skills. It's just one-tenth of the Authority of Reincarnation."
With a reluctant expression, Ao Changsheng took out a ball of semi-transparent, multicolored energy and tossed it to Hongjun.
"Is this enough?"
The strange aura emanating from that translucent, multicolored energy even made Pingxin, whose mind was elsewhere, turn her head to look.
"This is... the origin of the world!"
As Sage, his omniscient and omnipotent authority in the Primordial World came into play, allowing Pingxin, who originally lacked knowledge, to recognize at a glance what Ao Changsheng had taken out.
His eyes lit up immediately.
For cultivators, merit is the best divine object for increasing their cultivation level.
For the world, the origin of the world is the best divine object for increasing the world's foundation.
Looking at the World Origin in Ao Changsheng's hand, Heavenly Dao Hongjun pondered for a moment before decisively shaking his head and saying, "Not enough!"
"Ten thousand world origins!"
"Ten thousand regiments... then you might as well just kill me!" Ao Changsheng looked at Heavenly Dao Hongjun with disdain.
"A maximum of ten groups, no more!"
"One thousand units, no less!" Heavenly Dao Hongjun said coldly.
"One thousand units... You've used at most thirty units of world essence in this World of Reincarnation before."
"I'll give you fifty units, so you can make a little money!" Ao Changsheng said in a deep voice.
Heavenly Dao Hongjun: "..."
I lowered my price tenfold, while you only increased it fivefold. You're Daode.
"One hundred regiments! If that's too few, then let's fight!" Heavenly Dao Hongjun said decisively.
"One hundred regiments..." Ao Changsheng hesitated for a moment before nodding with a pained expression, "One hundred regiments it is!"
"However, I don't have that much right now. I'll pay you in installments until this era ends!"
"Alright!" Heavenly Dao Hongjun nodded.
Although he didn't know what Ao Changsheng meant by installment payments, Heavenly Dao Hongjun could still understand the general meaning.
"Etc!"
As Heavenly Dao Hongjun and Ao Changsheng exchanged words, Pingxin, who was standing to the side, felt that something was increasingly wrong and quickly called out.
"Your Lady Pingxin, what's wrong?" Ao Changsheng asked, feigning surprise.
"Among those hundred regiments you mentioned, is mine?" As a former Ancestral Witch, Pingxin didn't mince words and asked directly.
"No!"
Before Ao Changsheng could speak, Heavenly Dao Hongjun, who was standing to the side, decisively spoke up.
The price I negotiated with great effort.
Want to come and pick some peaches?
No way!
Upon hearing Heavenly Dao Hongjun's words, Pingxin stared intently at Ao Changsheng.
Looking at the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, who seemed unconcerned about the matter, and then at Pingxin, who was staring intently at him.
Ao Changsheng was speechless.
Is this an attempt to extort money from him?
Sorry, he actually... got scammed!
For a 'small person' like him, who only possesses one-tenth of the Authority of Reincarnation, Pingxin the remaining forty-odd percent of the Authority of Reincarnation.
You can definitely bully him!
"You only have fifty regiments at most!" Ao Changsheng said with a pained expression.
"Can!"
Pingxin readily agreed.
Although it cannot compare to the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, Pingxin was already quite satisfied with having fifty bundles of world origin.
Ao Changsheng tossed a wisp of world origin to Pingxin and said, "Same here, the rest will be paid in installments. I'll give it to you before the Witch-Demon Tribulation ends!"
"No problem!" Pingxin nodded, happily putting away the origin of the world.
Although she doesn't need it for the time being, the essence of this world is definitely a good thing.
"Now that we've reached an agreement, can I leave?" Ao Changsheng said irritably.
"Changsheng, Pingxin wouldn't dare to stop you!" Pingxin said obediently.
"Then I'll be going now!" Ao Changsheng turned around and casually tore open a passage back to the dojo.
"I shall also take my leave!" Heavenly Dao Hongjun turned around expressionlessly, and a passage leading to the Purple Firmament Palace in the Chaos was torn open in front of him.
Pingxin watched the two figures step into the void and leave, and for some reason felt something was wrong.
However, after thinking about it for a moment and finding no problem, I stopped thinking about it.
Unseen by Pingxin, Ao Changsheng, having stepped into the void passage, grinned broadly, a far cry from his earlier pained expression.
On the other side, Hongjun, who had stepped into the void passage, simultaneously curled the corners of his mouth slightly, a far cry from his previous cold demeanor.
And just as this cycle of World of Reincarnation was being divided... the Authority of Reincarnation was being distributed.
In the Primordial World, the storm caused by Houtu's ascension to Houtu and her self-sacrifice to create the Six Paths of Reincarnation was not so easily quelled.
The most straightforward and brutal of these was the great war between the Lich and Demon races.
The loss of Witch Race, the Houtu Ancestral Witch, gave the Demon Race a glimmer of hope.
