Simulating the primordial era? That's way too extreme.

Chapter 55 Huanglong I think I am (Seeking monthly votes!)

【Why is it always you bunch of good-for-nothings, always causing trouble!】

Looking at Guang Chengzi's chrysanthemum-like smiling face, you were so angry you just wanted to punch him until he knelt down, forcing him to... ugh! Forcing him to get out of the human race!

[You guys are the fastest at accumulating merit points.]

[With good karma, you'll reap the rewards the fastest!]

[So you only come to me when there's benefit, and only offer help when there's trouble? What use are you to me then!]

[So you put on a stern face: Who are you?]

Guang Chengzi laughed heartily, and he and the equally beaming Duobao Daoist stepped forward, putting their arms around each other's shoulders, trying to build a closer relationship.

【Oh dear! Junior brother, you don't know this, red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves—the three teachings were originally one family… We are close fellow disciples!】

[However, you sneered: "So you're a disciple of my two senior uncles? Then your address is incorrect. My master is the head of the Three Pure Ones, and I am his first disciple. In terms of sentiment, reason, and law... what junior brother? You should both call me senior brother!"]

[Don't you understand the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and the iron fist of the legitimate-illegitimate-illegitimate cult?]

Guang Chengzi: ...

[Taoist Duobao: ...]

[Senior...brother?]

I understand the logic, and the rules of etiquette are sound, but...

Everyone glanced at your dazzling True Immortal cultivation level, and hesitated to speak...

[But the allure of merit is boundless, and the hierarchy of the Three Pure Ones is indeed clear, and etiquette needs to be upheld. So, after you raised the banner of "distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children," although everyone was extremely awkward, they still stepped forward one after another and awkwardly called you "Senior Brother."]

Only Guang Chengzi showed a wronged and unhappy expression on his face. His lips moved as if he wanted to call out something else, but... his attitude finally became respectful, and he clearly called out:

"Senior brother..."

You seemed to shudder; you understood that a pitifully thick barrier had already formed between the two of you...

【Pah! What's pathetic about it? It's clearly exhilarating!】

Seeing these guys who were incredibly arrogant in their previous two lives now bowing respectfully to you and calling you "Senior Brother," you can't help but feel secretly pleased...

After a somewhat roundabout exchange of greetings, the atmosphere finally opened up, no matter what.

Guang Chengzi and Duobao Daoren explained their purpose to you; as expected, they came for merit.

[You felt disdain, but still told them that the human race no longer needed their help; instead, they were helping other races.]

Instead of trying to find ways to accumulate merit among humans, why not honestly and sincerely join the humans who are constantly going to the countryside to work among the various demon tribes in the Eastern Wilderness and do something worthwhile!

Everyone: ...

Humans are now helping demons with literacy?! Am I looking at this wrong?

Guang Chengzi paused for a moment, then subtly suggested that the human race was the noble, destined protagonist, and it was wrong for them to go and help the poor; besides, it's unlikely that all the humans wanted to go voluntarily...

The implication is that you are mocking your actions of forcing these born nobles against their will, an act that defies nature and will inevitably provoke collective opposition.

You smiled slightly, and unusually, didn't refute it...

[Because what they said was true, and their education of the first generation of humans was completely successful. Almost all of them were their most loyal warriors; whatever they said, they did, overcoming even the most difficult challenges without complaint.]

However, their descendants may not think the same way. Although most of them still revere you, it would be too much to ask them to leave the comfortable Shouyang Mountain region and travel to an unfamiliar demon tribe to help strangers.

Many of them truly wanted to go for that lofty ideal, but quite a few didn't. Some were afraid of hardship; after all, ordinary demons couldn't possibly have it really good. There were countless desolate places that even the Heavenly Court's decrees couldn't reach. Going there would not only mean poor conditions, but also jeopardize their personal safety. It's normal that they didn't want to go.

[The other group is different. Although they received education on equality from a young age, they never really took it seriously. They thought, "Why should we, the destined protagonists, be equal to the poor and inferior demon race?"]

[I'm already being kind by not causing trouble for you, and you want me to help them?]

After rallying millions of people, you have received countless letters from them expressing their grievances and requesting to return to Shouyang Mountain...

[You're under immense pressure, but you dare not relax, because this undertaking concerns the future life and death of humanity. You've carefully read everyone's letters and made some adjustments.]

However, your attitude is very clear: the difficulties are indeed difficult, but they must be overcome!

As a result, more people started complaining about you...

Seeing that you didn't object, Guang Chengzi understood and smiled, advising you not to do it, because thankless work won't be appreciated by everyone.

[You didn't say much, only telling them not to gather in groups at Shouyang Mountain. After all, the Heavenly Court isn't blind; you're deliberately exposing the human race!]

[Guang Chengzi thought about it and agreed with you. Doing it this way would indeed easily expose them, so… they chose to do it in batches.]

"Anyway, you're a disciple of Taiqing, belonging to the same Sanqing sect of Kunlun Mountain as them. What's so strange about fellow disciples helping each other? The Heavenly Emperor can't use this as evidence against the human race!"

After much pleading and cajoling, you finally gave in to these people who were obsessed with accumulating merit, and reluctantly agreed to have one person from each of the Jie and Chan sects help you govern the human race. Furthermore, each sect would rotate its members to accumulate merit in turn.

Thus, by compromising on both sides, you barely managed to achieve a win-win situation...

After another round of internal competition, both sects selected their respective candidates to accumulate merit during this period. The eldest disciple of the Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao, stepped forward without hesitation, despite the disapproving looks from his fellow disciples!

[Taoist Duobao: Feel free to voice your opinions! (Smiling)]

[Junior brothers and sisters: I have no objection...]

The choice of the Chan Sect representative was quite surprising; it wasn't the eldest disciple, Guang Chengzi, but rather the least qualified and weakest, Huanglong Zhenren!

The other immortals departed with varying expressions, leaving only the amiable Duobao Daoist and the awkwardly laughing Huanglong Zhenren behind...

[You seem a little confused by this. Is the Chan Sect really so courteous and friendly?]

But this speculation quickly vanished without a trace amidst Huanglong Zhenren's awkward laughter.

"Senior brother, I'm also from the dragon clan! If we're really talking about it, we're close cousins!"

[The awkwardly laughing Huanglong Zhenren cut to the chase, directly establishing a blood relationship with you. What is his intention? It's self-evident.]

Now you finally understand the purpose of the Chan Sect choosing Huanglong Zhenren. It turns out they wanted to establish a kinship relationship to improve the Chan Sect's overall image...

[But you're also curious, since the Jade Purity Saint of the Chan Sect is notoriously prejudiced against demons, why would he accept a disciple born into the dragon race?]

[So you asked Master Huanglong: "I wonder which lineage of true dragon you, Junior Brother Huanglong, are you from? Isn't the orthodox lineage of the East Sea Azure Dragon? The South Sea is Red Dragon, the West Sea is White Dragon, the North Sea is Black Dragon..."]

Huang Long became increasingly embarrassed: "Um, actually, I'm not a true dragon of the Four Seas..."

[If it's not a legitimate dragon from across the four seas, then why is it named Dragon?]

You paused, puzzled. The dragon races of the Four Seas were strictly hierarchical; aside from the four true dragons of the four seas—azure, red, white, and black—no other dragon race could be called a dragon. For example, your Golden Flood Dragon clan could only be called a "Flood Dragon."

[And Huanglong...excuse my bluntness, but are there any real yellow dragons in the four seas?]

[You understand now, Master Huanglong's choice of this name was beyond the bounds of propriety!]

You asked with a smile, "Is my junior brother a dragon?"

[Huang Long: ...]

"I think I am..."
