Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 63 The Chess Game of Heaven and Earth: The Struggle for Future Destiny

"Ding, Nuwa has left the Thirty-Three Heavens and is traveling across the primordial land, seeking an opportunity to become a saint. The host may make the following choices."

"Option 1: Go and guide Nuwa to create humans and become saints, and you will receive a fragment of the Law of Creation as a reward."

"Option Two: Reveal Nuwa's whereabouts to the Witch Clan in order to disrupt their path to sainthood, and you will receive a top-grade innate spiritual treasure as a reward."

"Option 3: Do not participate in this event, wait for Nuwa to create humans and become saints, and you will receive a fragment of the Law of Cause and Effect as a reward."

Upon hearing the system notification, Hongyun's heart stirred, and he opened his eyes. At the same time, his divine sense suddenly spread out.

Searching high and low.

For sages, their divine sense is extremely powerful, to the point that it can cover and search the entire primordial world.

Whether it's the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Primordial Land, the Starry Sky, or the Four Seas, basically nothing can escape their divine sense search if they want to.

However, generally speaking, they won't forcibly search every place, since many powerful beings also have a right to privacy.

Such a large-scale investigation was only to check those areas that were not sealed off.

For example, right now, Hongyun is simply searching for Nuwa's whereabouts on the primordial land. This is not difficult.

It might not even be noticed by anyone.

Almost instantly, Hongyun had already located Nuwa somewhere in the eastern land.

"Are they going to create humans and make saints?" A deep light flashed in Hongyun's eyes.

Whether it was Nuwa's ascension to sainthood or the birth of the human race, both were of extraordinary significance to the prehistoric world.

This signifies the imminent arrival of the Age of Saints. The era dominated by the Lich and Demon races will ultimately be replaced by the emergence of the human race.

After thinking for a while, Hongyun made a decision. She silently said to the system, "System, I choose option three."

Guiding Nuwa to create humans and become saints is one thing, but the traces are too obvious. Although it might earn some merit, it's unnecessary.

As for the fate of the human race, where is the human race now?

Hongyun has already made plans for the future, but there's no rush now.

Ultimately, in Hongyun's view, merit and fortune are important and very helpful for cultivation.

But these are external things, far less important than what one gains through one's own cultivation.

After all, while merit can make you rise to the top and become a saint in one step, if you lose it one day, it will make you fall directly from the clouds and fall from heaven to hell.

Only the strength one cultivates is eternal strength. Even if the primordial world is completely destroyed and the Heavenly Dao ceases to exist, one's strength will not be lost.

Revealing Nuwa's whereabouts and disrupting her path to sainthood would be even more unnecessary. That would be tantamount to defying the heavens.

Nuwa was able to travel through the primordial world at this time because she was guided by the will of Heaven. As long as she could comprehend it, she would understand how to become a saint.

Therefore, preventing Nuwa from becoming a saint is even more foolish than guiding her to sainthood, and Hongyun would naturally not do it.

As soon as Hongyun made her choice, the system's rewards were distributed.

With a thought, Hongyun instantly created a fragment radiating a rich power of laws in front of him.

These fragments are fragments of the law of cause and effect.

Among the three thousand Great Dao Laws, the Law of Cause and Effect is definitely among the top ten.

"Besides the Way of the Five Elements, the Way of the Four Symbols, and the Way of Yin and Yang, the Way of Cause and Effect is also a great principle that I must master."

Looking at the fragment of the law of cause and effect, Hongyun thought to himself, "The more Great Dao I comprehend, the greater my contribution to the Dao of the World will be."

"With numerous Great Daos protecting and assisting the Way of the World, the Way of the World will become increasingly powerful. After all, the Way of the World is inherently a Way of Integration."

The Way of the World is the Way that directly governs a world. Naturally, all the great powers belonging to this world will also be governed by the Way of the World.

But such a way of the world is not powerful enough! The various great paths in the world are like the various parts of this world.

If one cannot have a clear understanding of them, the power one can exert will be very shallow.

Only by fully comprehending and mastering all the great principles and all the powers in this world can one attain the most powerful way of the world.

That is why Hongyun was distracted in trying to comprehend these various great principles, because in his view, these great principles were actually part of the principles of his own world.

To comprehend these great principles is itself to comprehend the way of the world!

However, despite this, Hongyun did not refine the fragment of the law of cause and effect himself, but instead sent it into the Qiankun World and entrusted it to one of his avatars to refine and comprehend.

After all, with so many incarnations, there's no harm in using them.

Not only that, but Hongyun also entrusted the Yin-Yang Dao, which he was currently comprehending, to his many avatars to comprehend.

Hongyun herself rose leisurely and left the seclusion.

Having been in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, although he was so immersed in it that he didn't feel the passage of time, he inevitably felt a bit tired after waking up.

Hongyun planned to relax and, incidentally, wake Zhen Yuanzi up.

The two of them brewed tea and ate fruit together.

Hongyun drank the Enlightenment Tea and ate the ginseng fruit, feeling very relaxed. He said to Zhen Yuanzi, "Now that Xuanfeng and the others aren't here, I feel a bit lonely."

"Brother, don't you plan to take on a few disciples as well?"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head upon hearing this and said, "What's the point of taking on disciples? You took on Xuanfeng and the others, and now you have to plan for their future."

"I'm all alone, I don't have to think about anything, isn't that great?"

Hongyun smiled and said, "You can't say that. At our level, the world is just a game of chess."

"You may not feel it now, but when there are more sages in the future, the struggle for destiny will become obvious."

"How can one compete for the destiny of heaven and earth without taking on a few disciples and spreading one's lineage?"

Zhen Yuanzi listened, thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "Luck is just an aid. Besides, I don't lack luck at all."

As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi slammed his hand on the table, revealing his Earth Book with a snap, and said, "With this Earth Book, as long as the primordial land is not destroyed, some of its fortune will fall upon me, which is enough for me."

"Besides that, there's also the Western religious leader you arranged for me, whose identity has brought me a lot of good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun opened her mouth, but then fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she changed the subject, saying, "Never mind, let's not talk about this."

As she spoke, Hongyun waved her hand, as if parting the clouds to reveal a scene.

But it was the figure of Nuwa, who was traveling across the primordial land.

Hongyun said, "Fourth Senior Sister is about to find the opportunity to become a saint and attain sainthood."

"Brother, do you have any thoughts?"

"Moreover, not only Fourth Senior Sister, but also the three Senior Brothers of the Three Pure Ones, I have a premonition that they will all attain enlightenment soon."

"That's why I say that saints will soon appear in large numbers, and I'm not kidding."

Zhen Yuanzi was somewhat bewildered, staring at Nuwa in the image for a long time before he came to his senses.

After a while, Zhen Yuanzi said, "Is Fourth Senior Sister about to become a saint?" He then silently circulated his primordial spirit and secretly made calculations.

With Hongyun's hint, although the calculation was still extremely vague, Zhen Yuanzi had a vague sense of it.

For a moment, his expression turned serious.

"How did she become a saint?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.

"Like us, they attain sainthood through merit."

Hongyun Road.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, then asked, "And what about my three senior brothers, the Three Pure Ones?"

Hongyun said, "I don't know about that."

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hongyun with a faint smile, as if to say, "Do you think I believe you or not?"

Hongyun was speechless and said, "How would I know? It's probably also about accumulating merit to become a saint?"

Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "Attaining enlightenment through merit? So everyone attains enlightenment through merit? Everyone becomes a saint of merit?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

Hongyun said, "After all, it is the easiest and fastest way to attain enlightenment through merit. No matter what your original cultivation level was, as long as you have enough merit, becoming a saint is just a blink of an eye."

"It's much easier than severing the three corpses, proving the Dao through force, or proving the Dao in our world."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Perhaps! But since everyone is attaining enlightenment through merit, then we have nothing to panic about."

"I wasn't really panicking, just a little sentimental. I'm afraid these peaceful days will soon be over," Hongyun said.

Zhen Yuanzi wholeheartedly agreed, and with a wave of his hand, he erased the image formed by the red clouds, saying, "Forget it, let's wait until Senior Sister attains enlightenment before discussing this matter. Let's observe the situation."

They continued drinking tea and enjoying fruit with Hongyun.
