Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"Huang Long did a good job." The Sage of Taiqing's gaze fell on Huang Long again.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded as well: "Xuandu is not bad either."

The Tongtian Sect Leader listened to his two elder brothers praising each other. He didn't speak, but his gaze lingered on Huanglong for a long time, his face full of sullenness.

Nuwa's gaze remained fixed on Fuxi.

She looked at the Hetu and Luoshu held in Fuxi's hands, and at the excited expression on Fuxi's face, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Jieyin and Zhunti stood further away, their expressions somewhat complicated.

They were also happy about the restoration of the primordial world!

After all, the stronger the primordial world, the stronger the power of heaven and earth that their sages control.

But seeing that Huanglong and the other two had just gained a lot of merit and were about to receive a reward from Heaven, they couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Especially Zhunti, whose eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of envy.

"So much merit," Zhunti said softly.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

A ray of light, more dazzling and sacred than any star in the heavens, appeared from the void, turning the entire starry sky golden.

Heaven is about to bestow merit once again.

Moreover, the scale of this merit far exceeds that of the previous establishment of the four seasons' order.

Its vastness and magnificent scale are truly breathtaking.

Those powerful beings who were watching the starry sky were all dumbfounded at this moment, staring at the ever-expanding auspicious clouds of merit in the starry sky.

"Uncle Master," Fuxi said suddenly, looking at the auspicious clouds of merit above his head.

"Um?"

"You said before that good things should be done one by one. First establish the four seasons, then restore the stars. Now I understand why we should establish the four seasons first."

Huang Long laughed: "What do you understand?"

Fuxi said, "If we restore the last star first and then go back to establish the cycle of the four seasons, the merit of the cycle of the four seasons will be much less. Because if the cycle of the four seasons is established after all the stars in the heavens have been restored, its effect on the prehistoric world and on billions of living beings will be much smaller."

"Therefore, you deliberately left one star unrevived, and after you have completed the cycle of the four seasons and obtained the merit, you will come back to revive the last one."

He paused, then continued, "In this way, the merit of the cycle of the four seasons is complete, and the merit of the revival of the stars is also complete. The two do not interfere with each other, and the merit is maximized."

Huang Long laughed heartily.

"These are all rightfully ours," he patted Fuxi on the shoulder, "and naturally we should maximize our gains."

Xuandu laughed as well: "Senior brother, you've really got a clever plan."

Huang Long shook his head: "It's not that I'm clever, but that Heaven is just. Heaven rewards us with as much merit as we do good deeds."

He looked up at the vast auspicious clouds and continued, "Heaven's judgment will not change because of the order in which we act. It only looks at the results, at how much benefit our actions bring to Heaven and Earth."

Fuxi nodded: "So, Master Uncle deliberately left the last star behind so that the cycle of the four seasons could take place under the condition that the stars had not yet fully recovered, thus accumulating the greatest merit. After the cycle of the four seasons is established, we can return to recover the last star and gain even more favor from the Heavenly Dao."

"Moreover, the cycle of the four seasons will become even stronger as the stars in the heavens revive," Huang Long said.

The auspicious clouds of merit continued to expand and condense in the starry sky.

The golden light grew increasingly intense and sacred.

The entire starry sky was bathed in a golden hue, making the light of the stars appear dim in comparison.

It floats silently in the starry sky, like a golden ocean, waiting for the moment to pour out.

Then, the auspicious clouds moved.

A massive golden beam of light shot out from the auspicious clouds, shining directly onto the Zhou Tian Star Array. The beam was so thick that it completely enveloped the entire array.

The beam of light split into several strands in the void, each falling in a different direction.

The two largest shareholders each hold 30%.

The first 30% went to Huang Long.

Golden light of merit enveloped the Yellow Dragon, making him even more aligned with the authority of the Purple Emperor, and the mysteries of the celestial sphere were revealed before his eyes.

Huanglong closed his eyes, sensing the changes within himself.

He could feel that his connection with the stars in the heavens was a thousand times stronger than before.

Those stellar origins are like the spiritual energy within his body; he can mobilize their power at any time and perceive their state at any moment.

The second 30% fell on Fuxi and the Hetu and Luoshu.

Bathed in the golden light of merit, Fuxi's divination of heavenly secrets was further refined after the celestial stars were restored.

Those heavenly secrets that originally required the full power of the Hetu and Luoshu to deduce can now appear in one's mind with just a thought.

The changes in the Hetu and Luoshu are even greater.

This innate top-grade spiritual treasure already possessed a profound affinity with Fuxi.

Now, nourished by the power of merit, the remaining innate forbidden scriptures have been refined by Fuxi.

The third 20% went to Xuan Du.

Although he had not yet absorbed the vast amount of merit, his understanding of the Great Dao of the myriad stars was improving at an extremely rapid pace.

His aura, which had just reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, rapidly increased again, and like Huanglong and Fuxi, he was only one step away from becoming a Quasi-Saint.

The fourth stream, divided into two, splits into two paths, one falling towards the Moon and the other towards the Sun.

Nourished by the light of merit, the two ancient stars became even brighter and more dazzling.

The essence that Huanglong had extracted was completely restored at this moment.

The golden light of merit lingered in the starry sky for a long time.

Those powerful beings who were watching this scene, seeing the golden light of merit split into several streams, were all calculating their own weight in their hearts.

Thirty percent, thirty percent, twenty percent, twenty percent...

Huanglong Zhenren received 30%, Fuxi received 30%, Xuandu received 20%, and Taiyin Xing and Taiyang Xing each received 10%.

Huanglong and Fuxi received the most merits, followed by Xuandu.

No one objected to this allocation.

The Yellow Dragon was the mastermind behind the restoration of the celestial bodies and the establishment of the four seasons. He made the greatest contribution and deserved the most merit.

Fuxi used the Hetu and Luoshu to deduce the secrets of heaven; without his deductions, the entire plan would have been impossible to implement. Although Xuandu also contributed a great deal, he was indeed slightly inferior in comparison.

After the golden light of merit dissipated, the starry sky returned to its tranquility.

But that tranquility was different from the usual coldness; it was a serene peace full of vitality.

Three hundred and sixty-five stars slowly rotated in the void, emitting a dazzling light.

The concentration of spiritual energy on the primordial land continues to increase.

The laws of heaven and earth, which had stagnated due to the dimming of the stars, began to operate again under the stimulation of the power of the stars.

The entire primordial world is slowly recovering.

The Supreme Sage observed all of this and nodded slightly.

He turned around and nodded to the other saints as a greeting.

Then, his figure slowly dissipated in the starry sky, turning into a streak of blue light and returning to the primordial world.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded to the other saints and then his figure disappeared.

Nuwa's gaze lingered on Fuxi for a final moment before she raised her head and bowed slightly to Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

"This time, you didn't go the wrong way," she said softly, as if speaking to Fuxi, or perhaps to herself.

Her figure also vanished, returning to the Nuwa Heaven.

Only three saints remained in the starry sky.
