People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 437 Gods and Demons Retreat, Victory Without a Fight!

In the west, at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

"Let me give it a try..."

A faint, elusive voice came from the void and reached the ears of the black-clad Taoist.

"Is there any risk?" The Taoist in black frowned slightly, his face showing concern.

Although the primordial evolution of the Three Realms was the best opportunity for them to destroy the primordial earth veins, making the primordial world incomplete.
But now, Houtu is on guard, and Yang Xuan granted the titles of Mountain God and Earth God, further strengthening the defenses of many earth veins.

Especially in the West, this is the private domain of the two Western Sages, and a place that the other four Heavenly Dao Sages don't pay too much attention to, including Hongjun and Houtu.

Logically speaking, even if Houtu, for the sake of the overall situation, would mobilize the power of the earth to protect the western ley lines, it would be within their expectations, and while it would have an impact, it wouldn't be significant.

But who could have imagined that Yang Xuan had established so many mountain gods and land gods right under the noses of the two Western Saints, and that even the temples had already been built?

Looking across the vast wilderness, the western region has the most mountain gods and land gods, the most concentrated earth element, and the strongest blessing on the earth's veins.

The western land veins were already severely damaged, representing a major breach that disrupted the land veins, causing damage to the primordial wilderness and rendering it incomplete.
Now that we have so much earthly power to support us, the difficulty of destroying the western earth veins is no less than that of other places in the prehistoric world.

If they were to force it, it's uncertain whether they could complete the plan and damage the earth's veins. There's also a significant possibility that they would be discovered by the primordial sages, expose themselves, and be forced to turn the tables.

If we ultimately fail to destroy the ley lines and instead expose our own existence, then it will be a net loss.

The current situation is unfavorable to them, and the Taoist in black is unwilling to take the risk.

Destroying the primordial world can be done gradually; if we miss this best opportunity, there will be other opportunities in the future.
But once their existence is exposed, future opportunities will be hard to find.

He really didn't want to take the risk unless he was absolutely certain; he didn't want to suffer three setbacks in the prehistoric world.

"It's alright." That elusive voice echoed in the black-clad Taoist's ears once more.

"This humble Taoist is not within the primordial world, and the calamity energy obscures the secrets of heaven. Even if Hongjun were to sense something, he would not be able to detect my existence."
Besides, we have made preparations for so many years and left behind many hidden measures, so we will definitely not expose ourselves. Rest assured.
But you…

The elusive voice paused slightly, its tone becoming more stern:
"But you must not act like that fool Soul. If you are discovered by the Primordial Saint, whether we take action or not, it will be as if we have been exposed. Remember that!"

"Don't worry, Hongjun couldn't find me before, and he won't be able to find me in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest in black remained standing in the shadows.

However, the aura surrounding him was erased from its source by an invisible force, leaving no trace, as if he had never existed.

at the same time.

Tiny black cracks suddenly appeared in the west, the western sea, and the immortal volcano—places that had previously suffered damage.

Beneath the enormous chasm that traverses the entire prehistoric land, these cracks appear quite inconspicuous.
Even if someone saw them, they would think that these cracks were caused by those huge fissures and wouldn't find anything unusual about them.

In reality, this is not the case. These cracks appear very fine, far from being comparable to massive fissures, and their number is not large; it would be an exaggeration to say they are almost imperceptible.
In fact, this is not the case. While these cracks are not as wide or long as the huge fissures, they are much deeper.

These tiny cracks are all spatial fissures that run through these areas!

If these cracks are allowed to spread, these areas will shatter like a mirror.
Wherever the spatial rift passes, everything will be cut apart, even the ley lines of the earth!

In fact, these cracks have remained ever since these places were destroyed; they have never disappeared, but they are hidden in the void and cannot be detected.

Since these cracks were already there, their reappearance was completely silent, almost without any warning.

Even a sage would find it difficult to notice these cracks unless he paid special attention.

Once these cracks spread, even if a sage notices them, it will be difficult to effectively stop them, and the primordial earth veins will inevitably suffer considerable damage.

Given enough time, even more of the primordial essence of the universe will be revealed as a result.

Those who can do this must have an astonishing level of expertise in the Great Dao of Space.

"Ok?"

Just then, in the Nuwa Palace, Nuwa suddenly sensed something and her gaze swept across the west, the four seas, and the immortal volcano.

These tiny cracks are so well hidden and silent that even a sage would find it difficult to detect them without paying special attention.

If we follow the normal timeline, Nuwa's attention should have been focused on the Nine Provinces, not just a few places, making it unlikely that she would have discovered these cracks.

But things are different now. After Yang Xuan told Laozi about the matter of the soul gods and demons, Laozi asked Nuwa to help him look down over the prehistoric world and search for the traces of the three thousand gods and demons.

If we can make a discovery, that would be ideal, as it would save us a lot of trouble and allow the other party to turn the tables and take the initiative.

If nothing is found, that's fine too. Nuwa has nothing else to do during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, so she can just treat it as a pastime.

Nuwa just liked to steal... no, Nuwa just liked to observe all living beings in the primordial world.

This matter concerns the entire prehistoric world, so Nuwa dared not be careless. Over the years, she has devoted a great deal of effort to surveying the prehistoric world, trying to find the three thousand gods and demons who are hiding somewhere.

After all these years, she has only discovered some ordinary extraterrestrial demons, which she easily killed.

As for the whereabouts of the three thousand gods and demons, she found nothing.

After years of searching, she began to suspect that the Soul Demon God might be an isolated case, and that the other three thousand gods and demons might not have awakened, or perhaps never would.
After all, these gods and demons died under Pangu's axe!

The higher one's cultivation level, the more one can understand Pangu's terrifying power.

Although Nuwa had given up hope of finding the three thousand gods and demons, the evolution of the prehistoric world into the Three Realms was imminent, so she dared not be careless and devoted more of her energy to overseeing the prehistoric world.

Unexpectedly, she actually made a discovery, noticing the cracks in the western, four-sided sea areas, and the immortal volcano.

If she hadn't focused her attention on observing the primordial world all these years, she might not have been able to discover the existence of these cracks.

Given Nuwa's level of cultivation, it wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't discovered these cracks, but since she did, she would have immediately seen the potential threat posed by them.
At the same time, she also understood the reason for the formation of these cracks, knowing that they were traces left behind after these places were destroyed and space collapsed.

But there were two things she couldn't understand.

Firstly, countless ages have passed since these places were destroyed. Even if they suffered devastating damage at the time,

Logically speaking, the primordial world should have restored these collapsed spaces long ago, leaving no trace behind.

Secondly, even if due to certain special reasons, the spaces in these areas have not fully recovered, leaving some cracks,
These places are far apart, yet they all spread outwards at the same time, seemingly without any external interference.

"There really are three thousand more gods and demons awakening..." Nuwa frowned slightly, her expression serious. She still couldn't understand the reason behind these two points.
But she's a saint; the fact that she can't understand it already proves one thing: these cracks could never have formed naturally.

There must be a sage behind it, that is, a chaotic god or demon at the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!
This was very likely done by the original three thousand gods and demons, but it's unknown which one was responsible.

To achieve this, one either needs to have terrifying mastery of the Great Dao of Space, or possess some special means of concealment so that even the Primordial World itself is unaware of the existence of these cracks.

Nuwa didn't know much about the three thousand gods and demons. She knew that some of them definitely possessed such abilities, but she didn't know which one it was.

"I have no idea how these people managed to hide; they didn't leave a single trace..."

Nuwa's gaze swept over these areas, and she sighed regretfully.

But still nothing was found. There were no traces of the Chaos Gods and Demons, nor could it be discerned how they caused these cracks to spread.

Nuwa didn't think much of it. This wasn't her problem alone. If she couldn't figure it out, she would just ask others to help.

The most urgent task now is to ensure the successful evolution of the Three Realms from the primordial world, and not to let the chaotic gods and demons ruin this important matter.

It is certain that if these cracks are allowed to spread, it will be of no benefit to the evolution of the Three Realms in the primordial world.

Without any hesitation, Nuwa immediately tapped her finger, mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao to form dazzling golden rays that enveloped the cracks in the west, the Undying Volcano, and the four seas.

Preventing cracks from expanding also repairs these cracks.

Although Nuwa was not skilled in the Dao of Space, she was still a sage and had some understanding of it. Even if she could not repair it in a short time, she could stop its expansion and prevent it from affecting the evolution of the Three Realms in the primordial world.

In the west, at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

The Taoist in black frowned slightly as he looked at the golden light enveloping the crack, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

"How could Nuwa have discovered us so quickly? Could it be that she has been searching for us all along?"

"That's most likely the case..."

The elusive voice rang out again, but it no longer carried the same carefree ease.

The primordial world is vast; this is undeniable. Even a sage could not possibly know everything about it at all times.

Even if a sage devotes all his attention to observing the primordial world, he cannot keep track of all the changes in the primordial world at all times, even if all six sages of the Heavenly Dao attack together.

But a sage can appear anywhere in the primordial world with just a thought.

Now, Houtu has mobilized the power of the earth to activate the Book of Earth and protect the primordial earth veins, and Yang Xuan has taken the opportunity to establish mountain gods and earth gods to strengthen the protection of the earth veins.
It has now been discovered that Nuwa likely devoted most of her attention to observing the primordial world.

If they were to forcibly attack the earth's veins at this moment, they wouldn't just be temporarily protected by the earth's power; they would be surrounded by primordial sages the moment they made a move.
In this situation, let alone destroying the primordial earth veins and making the primordial world incomplete, it's hard to say whether one can escape, and one's own existence will definitely be exposed.

"Sigh! Oh well, I'll find another opportunity..."

The elusive voice sighed, choosing not to take the risk.

They have plenty of time; the Primordial World is right here and won't run away. As long as they aren't exposed, they'll have plenty of opportunities.

In fact, the longer it drags on, the more advantageous it is for them. They currently hold the initiative and have no need to take any risks.

Moreover, the preparations they have made over the years are basically still in place and will not disappear because of this abandonment, so their losses are not much.

It's just that the preparations made for this plan will be used later.

They were somewhat disappointed to have missed such a golden opportunity.

"That fool Soul! If it weren't for his exposure, none of this would have happened!"

The thought of the exposure of the soul demon made both the black-clad Taoist and the elusive voice grit their teeth in hatred.

"And this Yang Xuan, he's also a menace. According to the Soul God and Demon, he was exposed because of Yang Xuan." The black-clad Taoist looked towards the direction of Kyushu, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Perhaps Yang Xuan is behind today's events. His actions cannot be judged by ordinary standards, and this scourge must be dealt with as soon as possible."

That elusive voice also carried a chilling killing intent.

"This is not a good situation." The Taoist in black shrugged. "Back then, when Zhunti tried to force Yang Xuan to take refuge, he alarmed Houtu, Nuwa, Tongtian, and Taiqing."

Now these ancient saints will definitely pay more attention to this kid, and if they act rashly, it will be disadvantageous for us.

"...It's alright." The elusive voice remained silent for a moment before regaining its composure.

"Fate is about to be revived. Once they find all the fragments of the Fate Compass, those below the level of a sage will surely die! Just wait a little longer."
From now on, we should focus on stealth. Be careful and do not expose yourself..."

As they spoke, the voice became increasingly elusive, and eventually it disappeared.

"Is fate about to be revived...? If so, that's wonderful!"

A smile appeared on the black-clad Taoist's face. A special power surged from his body, erasing everything around him and disappearing as if it had never existed.

The evolution of the primordial world into the Three Realms was the correct evolution of the primordial world towards self-improvement and the eternal true realm.

The reason why the Dharma-ending Age occurred was because of the destruction caused by the chaotic gods and demons, not because there was anything wrong with the evolution of the Three Realms in the primordial world.

Now that the Chaos Gods and Demons are unwilling to expose themselves and have chosen to abandon this operation, and with the assistance of the Heavenly Sage, it is naturally impossible for any accidents to occur.

However, such a momentous event as the evolution of the primordial world into the Three Realms was destined not to end in a short time; no one knew how long it would take.
Even a sage would not dare to be careless.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, Yuanshi Tianzun, Taiqing Sage, Zhunti Daoist, Jieyin Daoist, and Hongjun Daozu, who resides in Zixiao Palace, are responsible for assisting in the evolution of the primordial world.
While reducing flood damage, we can also provide some assistance.

While protecting the earth's veins, Houtu, along with Nuwa, oversaw the primordial world, guarding against sneak attacks from chaotic gods and demons.

at the same time.

Inside Lintong Pass, Yang Xuan was unaware of the spatial rift, but he was certain that the Sage's mind was currently focused on evolving the Three Realms of the Primordial World, making it difficult for him to be distracted by anything else.

This is a rare opportunity, and there's no reason for us to let it slip by.

After announcing the establishment of the underground passage and the worship of the mountain god and the earth god, Yang Xuan gave Bixiao a brief instruction before taking his leave, subtly sending a telepathic message...
