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

Time flies, and before we knew it, two cycles had passed.

Over the years, many things have happened in the prehistoric world.

Two things had the greatest impact on the prehistoric world.

Firstly, there was the birth of Sun Wukong.

Whether the Journey to the West tribulation is just a formality or has a deeper meaning, Sun Wukong is undoubtedly a major protagonist.

In essence, Sun Wukong was born at the right time, and he also had the foundation of the Five-Colored Divine Stone.

When Sun Wukong was born, numerous extraordinary phenomena appeared, demonstrating his unique origins.

When the Journey to the West was discussed at Mount Sumeru, Sun Wukong had already caught the eye of many powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

The birth of Sun Wukong naturally attracted the attention of many people, and the special background of his origins made many powerful figures interested in him.

Given Sun Wukong's background, if he were taken under their wing and properly trained, regardless of how high he could grow in the future, he would certainly become their successor.

Unfortunately, Sun Wukong had already been chosen by the Buddhist sect, so they had no chance.

But they weren't too disappointed; everyone was somewhat surprised by Sun Wukong's background.

In terms of Sun Wukong's background, his birth was a timely event, signifying that the great calamity of the Journey to the West was approaching and preparations needed to be made in advance.

At first, the powerful figures didn't pay too much attention to it. They were just thinking about how to set up eighty-one tribulations so that they could save face and gain Zhunti's approval at the same time.

As for the Journey to the West Calamity, in their view, it was just a formality arranged by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, not a real calamity, and there was no danger to speak of.

After all, the Investiture of the Gods calamity had only just ended, and even if a new calamity were to descend afterward, it shouldn't be at this time.

Moreover, the changes in the Three Realms of the Primordial World are happening at an unprecedented pace, a scene of prosperity and flourishing, hardly resembling an impending calamity.

But gradually, some people noticed something amiss. To their surprise, they discovered that something invisible seemed to be hindering their deductions.

Throughout the vast history of the primordial era, there is only one thing that could obstruct the methods of deduction on such a vast scale, and that is—

Disaster!

In other words, this great calamity of the Journey to the West is not just a formality as they thought, but a real calamity that is about to arrive.

This has completely baffled them. In the current primordial world of the Three Realms, there is no sign of an impending great calamity.

Surely a great calamity wouldn't be deliberately brought down just because a western ley line is destined to be repaired?

Or is it that once the western ley lines are repaired and the primordial world is restored to its complete state, the three realms of the primordial world can evolve further?
No matter how they thought about it, all the powerful figures felt that this was unlikely.

If the integrity of the western ley lines truly matters to whether the primordial world could have evolved further.
When the primordial world was evolving into the Three Realms, it should have focused more on the west, taking advantage of the momentum of the primordial world's evolution into the Three Realms to repair the western earth veins as much as possible.

Or perhaps a revelation will be sent down to improve the treatment of those who repair the ley lines, allowing more beings to participate in the work of the Western ley lines.

Many powerful beings in the primordial world were completely baffled, and their unease grew stronger as they began to prepare countermeasures.

Although these powerful beings are all quasi-saints and can avoid entering the Great Tribulation, as long as they don't court death like Kong Xuan, the Great Tribulation will have a very limited impact on them.

Among them, there were basically no lone wolves; they either founded their own sects with many disciples, or they were the heads of clans with members all over the place.

Even if things don't go well, they still have relatives and friends. They themselves may not enter the Great Tribulation, but their disciples, clansmen, relatives, and friends don't have that ability.

If one does not reach the level of Quasi-Saint, all beings in the primordial world are destined to face calamities and must plan carefully in order to survive them.

Yang Xuan was also surprised by the appearance of the calamity energy, but after a brief moment of surprise, he looked thoughtful and thought about more things.

What is certain is that there is definitely another deeper meaning behind the Journey to the West's great calamity.
In addition to the changes in the prehistoric world over the years, Yang Xuan has ample reason to suspect that the deeper meaning behind the Journey to the West calamity may very well be related to him.

Yang Xuan even had some ideas about the direction in which the primordial world would further evolve.

Throughout history, major crises have always been accompanied by both opportunities and crises.

If the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West is truly as he imagines, it will be a tremendous crisis, but at the same time, it will also be a tremendous opportunity.

With careful planning, the chances of attaining sainthood can be increased, and one might even go further into the realm of sainthood!

Compared to the birth of Sun Wukong, another event had a greater impact on the prehistoric world.

Only a minority of people knew about the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West. The impact of Sun Wukong's birth on the prehistoric world was limited to the powerful beings within it.
Other living beings were completely unaware of and unable to detect the existence of the calamity energy.

But the other thing is different; it's something closely related to all living beings in the primordial world, something that will bring about tremendous changes to the three realms of the primordial world—that is—

A trade route system composed of the Three Realms Network as the platform, the spatial teleportation network as the road, the Flying Boat of the Other Shore as the means of transportation, and all living beings in the primordial world as the main body!
In the human realm, in the Nine Provinces, in an ordinary village.

A woman dressed in a pink Taoist robe, with stunningly beautiful features, walked among the crowd, yet no one noticed her presence.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would truly find it hard to believe that such a change could have occurred in just one or two cycles..."

A beautiful woman stopped outside a shop, sighing with emotion.

This Seven Emotions Demon God is none other than the Chaos Demon God who, when the two Western Saints went to Zixiao Palace to lodge a complaint, took the opportunity to sneak into the prehistoric world. His name is Seven Emotions.

Even in the chaos, there are worlds, but they cannot compare to the primordial chaos.

The ancient tree world that Yang Xuan discovered, as well as the other damaged worlds that he used as nourishment to repair the ancient tree world, were once complete worlds.

In the chaos, there are many such worlds, and many of them are even complete universes.

After all, even Chaos needs to live; it's not like they wander around in Chaos all day long. These worlds are where they live their daily lives.

Among the chaotic gods and demons, there exists a kind of being, like an adventurer from the primordial era, who likes to travel in the chaos and traverse between many worlds.

Whether due to his own great Dao, his personality, or a combination of both, this Seven Emotions God and Demon is an adventurer among the Chaos Gods and Demons.

Before Pangu created the world, she had traveled to many different worlds. After her resurrection and return, she traveled to many more worlds.

Some of these worlds were ones she had visited before Pangu created the world; most of these worlds had been destroyed, with only a small portion remaining.

But countless eons have passed, and the changes in these worlds have not been as significant as she had imagined.

Although many new things have emerged, the cultivation system and the techniques of weapon forging have all changed to some extent.

But in these new things, she could see countless shadows of the past.

Even the world itself gave her a sense of impending doom.

To be precise, this is not a feeling, but a fact.

Everything in the world has emotions, and so does every part of the world. By experiencing the emotions of the world itself,
She could sense that most of the worlds she had visited lacked vitality.

Even some newly born worlds, after a period of development and stabilization, and once they have a relatively complete set of rules, lose their vitality.

But the prehistoric world is different... To be precise, the prehistoric world in recent years is quite different.

According to the timeline of the primordial era, she revived and returned during the Lich War.

Although the primordial world at that time was not as lifeless as other worlds, it could not be called vibrant either; it was just somewhat energetic and had room for growth.

But when she returned to the Primordial World after wandering through the Chaos, she was surprised to find that the Primordial World's vitality had increased significantly.

At that time, she felt that this might be because the primordial world was evolving into the Three Realms, becoming more perfect, and moving closer to the Eternal True Realm, thus producing this change.

Once the primordial world has completed its evolution, its vitality will decline to its previous level, or even lower.

Unexpectedly, after the primordial world evolved into the Three Realms, its vitality did decrease, but not as much as she had anticipated.

To her even greater surprise, after the primordial vitality dropped to a stable level, it began to slowly rise again.

This rise became more pronounced before the two pluralistic meetings.

At that time, she was curious about what had happened in the prehistoric world that led to such changes.

At that time, she was still in the chaos, and there were four saints guarding the outer heavens in the primordial world, so she dared not probe the primordial world with her divine sense.

It took her many years of manipulating the emotions of the two Western Saints before she successfully infiltrated the prehistoric world.

During the years she stirred up the two Western Saints, she learned of Yang Xuan's existence. Just as she entered, she witnessed Yang Xuan establishing the Three Realms Network.

That's why she said at that time that Yang Xuan was a huge hidden danger and should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Through her travels across the three realms of the primordial world over the years, she realized that her evaluation of Yang Xuan was clearly too low.

This is not a hidden danger; it is clearly a huge scourge, and one that has already become a significant threat!

Before she even attended the meeting, she was pretty sure that one of the biggest reasons why the Primordial World was able to maintain such vitality was because of Yang Xuan.

In today's diverse society, she witnesses the rapid changes taking place in the primordial world.
That's not just basically certain, it's 100% certain: Yang Xuan is a major factor in maintaining the vitality of the prehistoric world...

It could even be the biggest factor!
A key factor in whether a world can remain vibrant is whether the world itself is constantly evolving, with new things emerging that make it more complete.

Clearly, Yang Xuan's plans fully meet this standard.

During these two multi-faceted events, she personally witnessed the rapid development of the prehistoric world, with each day bringing a new look.

Two multi-faceted events were held before the first batch of beings who exchanged for the blueprints for the Type 1 Ark of the Other Shore successfully crafted the Ark of the Other Shore and conducted a live-streamed evaluation.

These creatures demonstrated through their actions that the data provided by the staff was not only accurate, but had even been somewhat inaccurate.

The performance of the Ark of the Other Shore Type I, including its manufacturing method, is more powerful and cost-effective than they had anticipated.

Since then, a frenzy of weapon crafting has swept across the three realms of the primordial world.

The materials needed to craft the first type of the Other Shore Ark are simple and not particularly precious, and the crafting method is also relatively simple.

Refiners at the Golden Immortal level can basically achieve 100% success. Those below the Golden Immortal level have a certain chance of failure, but it is still within an acceptable range.

More importantly, weapon refiners at the Golden Immortal level are not uncommon.

Every family and every power has at least a few weapon refiners at the Golden Immortal level.

If I can't refine it myself, surely I can find a weapon refiner at the Golden Immortal level?
A thousand years later, the Ark of the Other Shore I sprang up like mushrooms after rain from the primordial Three Realms.
It's impossible to give one to everyone, but it wouldn't be surprising if one out of ten thousand people had a Type 1 Ark of the Other Shore.

For a weapon refiner, the time required to refine the same magical treasure a second time will be greatly reduced.

Thirty thousand years later, roughly one in ten beings will own a Type 1 Other Shore Ark, making it a commonplace item and spreading throughout the Three Realms of the Primordial World.

With the Ark of the Other Shore I, the travel options for all living beings in the primordial world were improved once again.
Furthermore, the existence of the Three Realms Network has made communication among all beings in the prehistoric world more frequent, and the development speed in various parts of the prehistoric world has been significantly improved.

Under Yang Xuan's covert guidance, many new professions emerged in the Three Realms of the Primordial World.

For example, teachers guiding spiritual practice, training partners for on-site training, outdoor live streaming of exploring hidden realms, and food delivery and express delivery services for short and medium distances...

There are many professions like this, but they all have one thing in common: equivalent exchange.

Whether you're a teacher or a training partner, you need to pay a price to receive the corresponding service.

This is the most basic transaction!
However, the primordial world is simply too vast, and it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for a unified currency to emerge like that of the Nine Provinces.

Therefore, these transactions are all conducted using various spiritual objects, emphasizing mutual consent.

However, among the many spiritual items, there are a few that are commonly used hard currencies, namely Tianlu Coin, Diming Coin, and Fude Coin.

The Fukumo Coin was limited to the area surrounding Kyushu, as it was the only currency in Kyushu.
If we trade with Kyushu without using Fukumoku (currency unspecified), it's like using Japanese Yen domestically, which is somewhat inappropriate.

There's no need to say more about Tianlu Coins and Diming Coins; these are spiritual items containing merit, so who would dislike them?
Fifty thousand years later, the first batch of Type II and Type III Arks were crafted by powerful forces such as the Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan.

While making travel more convenient for all living beings in the prehistoric world, it also made the prehistoric world's business system more complete.

The targets that beings in the primordial world can trade with have become farther away, no longer limited to the surrounding areas.

More importantly, through the groundwork laid over the years, the beings of the primordial world have already developed the concept of trade.

With the emergence of Type II and Type III, the scope and volume of transactions among the primordial beings have become much larger.

Under the leadership of powerful forces such as the Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan, 100,000 years later, numerous merchants appeared in various parts of the prehistoric world, making the three realms of the prehistoric world increasingly prosperous.

Today, two eras later, there are countless large and small merchant guilds in the Three Realms of the Primordial World.

The services that accompany various chambers of commerce are already quite comprehensive.

For example, there's the courier industry that specializes in transportation, the academy that forwards messages and teaches, and the bodyguard company that acts as a enforcer...

Today, trade and commerce have become an integral part of ordinary people's lives, an indispensable part of the lives of all living beings.

In the vast wilderness, currencies varied, and each place had its own unique characteristics.

But one thing remains the same: you must carry money when you go out, and you need to spend money to buy things. This has become a rule that everyone must follow.

Even after witnessing it with their own eyes, the Seven Emotions God and Demon still found it unbelievable.
I just can't understand why Yang Xuan, a quasi-sage, would have so many novel ideas and such a great influence on the prehistoric world.

It is no exaggeration to say that even a saint might not be able to do it better than him.

"I've heard that he specializes in the Great Dao of Destiny. If he were to attain sainthood, given his influence over the primordial world, even destiny might not be able to defeat him."

But is the Dao he primarily cultivates truly the Dao of Destiny? Would someone like him reveal the Dao he primarily cultivates…?

The Seven Emotions Demon stood at the shop entrance, his eyes flickering, lost in thought. (End of Chapter)
