Chapter 175: Merit, Enlightenment of All Souls

【“Because I’m not stupid.”】

[Tian Dao smiled and said: As the only one who has achieved enlightenment, why should I raise two more people of the same level? Isn't it good for me to rule the prehistoric world alone? ]

【you:……】

【Hongjun: ……】

[It’s over! He is not a fool! He has really become a living father! ]

[Hongjun was horrified, and you were also confused. The two of you looked at each other in bewilderment...]

[“However, you have done me a favor after all. It is not enough for me to help you achieve enlightenment, but I still need to reward you... Let me think about it..."]

[He thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea.]

[The next moment, two thick golden lights descended from the sky and landed directly on your heads. The amount of golden light was so great that it could be called immeasurable! ]

[Golden light enters your body, and you feel that your cultivation speed has increased countless times. The three flowers and five qi spontaneously refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Your face changes, and this feeling seems familiar to you...]

[It is the blessing of the true spirit! ]

[In Jiao Ming's memory, the effect of using the True Spirit Enlightenment Method is the same as what you feel right now.]

[The reward is over, and the Heaven is finally satisfied: Rewards are given for merit! ]

[“This is what I use to reward merit, so let’s call it merit.”]

【…】

[Under the might of Heaven, you and Hongjun, two little Daluo, naturally dared not say a word, and could only look at each other bitterly: Now I have found a living father...]

[After being rewarded, the newly-minted Heavenly Dao happily began to play around.]

[First, we need to deal with the issues left by Pangu: Pangu's remnants are attached to three groups of pure air. Heaven will not hesitate to reward these three people who can be regarded as the successors of Pangu's will! ]

[With infinite merits, the three balls of pure air were dyed golden yellow, especially the largest one. The Heavenly Dao even used the power of heaven and earth to refine a protective merit pagoda for it! ]

[But He was not interested in Pangu's twelve drops of blood. Perhaps it was because He was a true spiritual creation, so He was not very interested in Pangu's physical body...]

[After casually wandering around the wilderness twice, Tian Dao gradually felt bored, because everywhere was a wilderness. He was a living being, so he naturally didn't like loneliness. ]

[“So, I should open their spiritual wisdom!”]

[The excited Tiandao thought about it and then began to act... The Third Ancestor used his bloodline to awaken his spirit, which was essentially using his own powerful Pangu True Spirit to enlighten the wild beast.]

[And the Heavenly Dao is the complete Pangu True Spirit, so He can naturally awaken spirits, and even the scope of awakening spirits is far greater than that of the Three Ancestors! ]

[He sprinkled down the sweet rain, and then all creatures, including birds, beasts, and scaly aquatic creatures, gradually developed intelligence. He accomplished the tasks that the three ancestors had not had time to complete.]

[But this is not what shocks you the most, because you can actually do this. What shocks you the most is that He not only enlightens the wisdom of living beings, He can even enlighten dead things!!!]

[You witnessed Him sprinkle nectar with your own eyes. Wherever He passed, not only animals and plants, but even stones and iron could develop intelligence and begin to breathe in spiritual energy and practice...]

[One incredible scene after another shatters your worldview over and over again: not to mention yourself, even Jiao Ming has never seen such a scene! ]

[It's fine to enlighten animals and plants, but to enlighten inanimate objects... isn't this the same as mass-producing something that is inherently divine?! ]

[At this moment, you deeply realize the gap between enlightened ones and ordinary cultivators: this cannot be explained by reason at all...]

[The gap is so huge that it is despairing. You can't even understand His operation! It is beyond common sense and incomprehensible! ]

[If He is just like this, it doesn’t really matter. It’s even a good thing.]

【But the problem is, His mental state is not stable...】

[You saw it with your own eyes. He enlightened billions of living beings, and then he used the reason that these living beings were inferior to directly wipe out the living beings that he considered inferior! ]

[After killing a group, a new group grew up, so He gradually lost the basic respect for life: as the master of all living things, He certainly didn't need to care about life and death. ]

[He began to wantonly play with all living beings, like a naughty boy playing with a nest of ants...]

[Such a person who is born with intellectual disabilities and unstable mental state, but holds the power to overturn the world, is no different from a child holding a nuclear bomb. If there is any accident, the consequences will be horrible! ]

[You see it with your own eyes, and you feel anxious in your heart: Others are not a big deal, but what if this idiot wants to play tricks on you one day? ! ]

[With such a huge power gap, you feel like you could be killed by this idiot at any time, and you live in fear all day long...]

[“We can’t go on like this!”]

[You anxiously find Hongjun: "Daoyou! Come up with an idea! Sooner or later this lunatic will..."]

【"Don't!"】

[Seeing you say such treasonous words, Hongjun was so scared that he quickly covered your mouth: You want to die? Is it okay to say such a thing! ]

[You then belatedly realize that the True Spirit of Heaven has eyes and ears everywhere in the wilderness. If you curse Him, you will simply end up seeking death...]

[“If you insult me, I will punish you by half of your merits…”]

[The words of the Heavenly Dao also sounded at the right time, and then took away half of your merits while you were worried...]

【He really heard it! 】

[You look horrified, but dare not speak any more: if you curse once, you will lose half of your merits, and if you curse three times, you will probably die.]

[Now, you can only use your eyes to express your panic to Hongjun: Daoist friend, if this continues, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will both die at the hands of this living father! ]

[But Hongjun spread his hands, looking helpless: What can I do? I have already created a living father... If I had known earlier, I should not have used this ratio of true spirit to create Him...]

[Ding! Seeing that Hongjun is unable to help, you are completely at a loss. In desperation, you can only ask for help from "your other self". Your choice: (?) Please fill in freely! ] Ah? He really became a living father? !

Zhao Si was also confused:

"Isn't that right? Didn't Jiao Ming's true spirit sneak in?"

Theoretically speaking, Jiao Ming's true spirit, which accounts for one third of the Heavenly Dao's true spirit, should be able to have a huge impact on the Heavenly Dao.

For example, in the eternal chaos of Jiao Ming III, the proportion of true spirits was only one-sixth, but it was enough for the Heavenly Dao to eliminate the problem of monsters being superior to monsters. Even the sage Hongjun had more humanity and emotions than in the original plot.

How come Jiao Ming’s true spirit ratio is now higher, and as a result, Heaven’s Path is more self-aware than before?

"Except for his unstable mental state, he is a completely normal living person!"

Zhao Si was very puzzled:
"System, what's going on?"

[Ding! Answer the player, this is because the purity of the Heavenly Dao component is too high, and it has nothing to do with Jiao Ming's true spirit.]

"purity?"

[To put it simply, there are only five components of this Heavenly Dao. Except for Jiao Ming, the true spirits of the Three Ancestors and Hongjun are all Pangu's original ones, so His spirit is not split enough and His self-awareness is too strong.]

Zhao thought for a moment:

It seems so. The component of the Heavenly Dao is too pure. Two-thirds of the true spirit is originally possessed by Pangu. The source is too single. Removing Jiao Ming is almost equivalent to Pangu's resurrection.

In the world of sage Hongjun, the components of the Way of Heaven are extremely complex. There is the true spirit of Jiao Ming, the true spirits of Zulong, Zuqilin, Qiankun Yinyang and others, and there are also additional true spirits of a large number of ordinary creatures.

Under such a complicated source, the Heavenly Dao is naturally a fool, and this fool really dares to let Hongjun become a saint. After being restricted by the saint Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao will definitely be even more stupid...

And now, the Heavenly Dao does not even allow Hongjun Cheng to become a Saint, which is enough to show that his intelligence is far higher than that of his peers.

In this way, if bird number three wants to restrict the way of heaven, it would be tantamount to using the body of Daluo to attack the saint!

People like this usually have some...

"Then I'm stuck, right?"

Zhao Si was silent for a moment:
Although he had imagined many future scenarios before, this ridiculous development still left him helpless.

With such a worrying mental state of Tiandao, the safety of bird number three cannot be guaranteed, and if he dies, then this round of simulation will not have a perfect ending...

But when the enemy is Heaven, what else can we do?

After thinking about it carefully, a unique answer emerged:
Get foreign aid!
"The saint Hongjun crossed the boundary before, so theoretically, he can cross it again... and the True Spirit was given to me by him. As a saint of the Heavenly Dao, it is impossible for him not to know the problem, unless... this is what he wants to see..."

Give it a try!

[Ding! Facing the invisible threat of the Heavenly Dao, you deeply feel the seriousness of the problem. Regardless of public or private, this Heavenly Dao with too high a self-content must be restricted, so you choose: (Try to use the Golden Crow True Fire to summon the Heavenly Dao Hongjun!)]

[You thought of that powerful saint from another world, so a bold plan emerged in your mind...]

[You immediately take out the Golden Crow True Fire and try to use the power of the otherworldly Heavenly Dao contained in it to call upon that Heavenly Dao Saint! ]

[But no matter how you call, it is like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no response at all. ]

[You are wondering: What's going on? Would a Heavenly Saint also lose the Internet? ]

[Just when you were confused, you saw the old man Hongjun's face change drastically...]

[“What are you summoning?”]

【He asked curiously.】

【you:……】

[You looked up in horror, only to see the sun and moon staring at you with interest. The vast power of the stars made you tremble all over! ]

[Before you could reply, the Golden Crow True Fire in your hand suddenly flew up, as if that great being was studying it...]

[“Hmm… the smell of the sun… the smell of heaven, another me?”]

[He was like a naughty child who got a new toy. As soon as he got the real fire, he couldn't wait to analyze it in detail.]

[And you can only lower your head in despair. Even the Golden Crow True Fire has been taken away. You are afraid that not only will you have no chance of turning the tables, but you may even lose your life this time...]

[However, when you looked at Hongjun in despair, you found that he was staring blankly at the Jade Book of Creation.]

【What's so good about the jade book? 】

[You are somewhat puzzled: You are about to die, why are you still in a daze...]

【Um? ! 】

[Your pupils shrank, and you suddenly discovered that the jade tablet had been shrouded in a familiar purple aura...]

[At this moment, a few wisps of purple air gradually lingered in Taoist Hongjun's eyes. Under the cover of the purple air, his eyes gradually changed, from the original confusion to calmness... even indifference.]

[Your body trembles: This is of course impossible for old man Hongjun to suddenly have a great enlightenment and realize the truth on the spot. Although you know that he has a strong understanding, it is definitely not strong to this extent.]

【The only explanation is. 】

[A certain great existence has actually quietly crossed over and possessed me...]
