Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 47 The Great Calamity Ends, Merit Descends from Heaven

Not long after the four ferocious beasts abandoned their race and fled into chaos, the other three races also reacted and continued to hunt down the ferocious beasts.

Zu Long and the others kept silent about their escape and joined the great battle to jointly suppress the enemy.

After the four top-tier gods met their end, the war lost its suspense, leaving only the final cruelty of heaven and earth towards the ferocious beast.

As the last ferocious beast fell, the sounds of the Dao permeated the primordial world, announcing the end of this great calamity.

Sweet dew descended from the sky above the northern continent, sprinkling across the land. Countless tender shoots broke through the soil, and the sky and earth shone with boundless radiance, permeating the entire primordial wilderness.

These rays of light transformed into golden clouds, almost the size of a continent.

A quarter of them drifted to the sacred sites of the great gods in the primordial world, such as Jade Capital Mountain and Mount Sumeru...

The remaining two-thirds of the golden cloud were distributed among the three clans who participated in the war.

Only the last part remained, which transformed into streams of light and flew towards the innate deities who had participated in this battle.

These merits were distributed according to their role in the battle, which was extremely fair.

While in seclusion, Qi suddenly looked up at the sky, stepped out of the lotus pond, and gazed at the unchanging scenery around him. After a long while, he sighed:

"The great calamity is over."

There was no ripple. He had expected himself to be more excited, but he found himself extremely calm.

Listening to the Daoist sounds resounding throughout heaven and earth, they suddenly felt that the appearance of time was not friendly, at least not to these innate saints.

The journey was arduous, and the passage of countless years became apparent with time.

The specific timeframe seemed to constantly urge him forward, making him afraid to stop.

He reached out and grabbed at the sky, gathering countless streams of spiritual energy in his hand. He carefully sensed it and said:

"The innate spiritual energy has become more concentrated and pure, and the spiritual energy in the world has become much more active. Is this because the great calamity has ended?"

"Or is it that this great calamity was created precisely for such a scene?"

There was no answer to the prayer, but these innate spiritual energies could not appear out of thin air; there must be a source.

"Given the size of the ferocious beast, even if it were to return entirely to the world, it could not possibly provide such a significant boost to innate spiritual energy."

"Moreover, the turbid energy within the ferocious beast is enough to annihilate all spiritual energy, making it impossible for spiritual energy to become more abundant. It seems that the purpose of the great calamity is not merely to reclaim the origin of heaven and earth."

"There must be some source that we don't know about. Perhaps that is the real reason for the great calamity and the main purpose of heaven and earth in initiating the great calamity."

The arrival of the golden light of merit interrupted Qi's thoughts. The golden light transformed into a vast golden auspicious cloud before Qi's eyes, and finally fell into Qi's body.

The vast amount of merit formed a golden wheel of merit behind Qi, shimmering with a gentle divine light.

Qi carefully sensed the source of each merit, the most important of which was hindering the advance of the ferocious beasts in Yunmeng Marsh and causing them a great deal of casualties.

Then came the days spent wandering and hunting ferocious beasts with Taiyi and others in the northern continent, during which time they killed quite a few ferocious beasts.

To purify the heavens and earth, repair the earth's veins, maintain the collapse of the northern continent, and reduce the damage to the heavens and earth.

Many ferocious beasts have forgotten what these events looked like, but Heaven and Earth remember them and reward them with merit.

As Qi accepted the merit, celestial flowers floated up between heaven and earth, scattering across Yunmeng Marsh and continuously enhancing the essence of this land.

It landed on the grass, trees, flowers, and stones, bringing them all some benefit. Perhaps this is the best example of how when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

On the Sun Star, Di Jun and Tai Yi were also receiving merits, which were an affirmation of their actions during their travels through the prehistoric world.

Regardless of their reasons for fighting the ferocious beasts, if it benefits heaven and earth, good is good, and it will not cease to be good just because it is intentional or unintentional.

Good deeds done for Heaven and Earth will be rewarded by Heaven and Earth.

Fuxi and Nuwa were cultivating in Phoenix Perch Mountain, jointly developing the Great Dao. Pangu's pressure could not hinder the merit cloud in any way, and it fell directly into their bodies.

Feeling the effects of the merit, the two did not retain it like they had prayed. Nuwa added it to their life cultivation to enhance their spiritual practice.

Fuxi used it on the Dao Fruit, increasing his understanding of the Dao and reducing the time spent on enlightenment.

"One day, I will become a protagonist of my time, instead of being a mere bystander, playing a negligible role, as I have done in this great calamity!"

After receiving the merit, Di Jun smiled and said to Taiyi with a determined look in his eyes.

"Our voice should be heard in this land!"

Taiichi sensed his brother's conviction and responded powerfully.

"Yes, this world deserves our voices, the voices of all living beings!"

After confirming that they shared a common goal, the two people with the same beliefs said no more and went to the Fusang tree to enter seclusion again.

They all knew that in the primordial world, one needed great strength to make a sound; otherwise, no one would be willing to listen to the thoughts of an ant.

Fengqi Mountain.

Fuxi smiled and said to Nuwa:

"Let's go, it's time to go back into seclusion. As a primordial deity, one should be a trendsetter of the times, not a weakling who can only stand by and watch!"

"Yes, we will become the protagonists of this world. Everything before that is just the accumulation of experience."

The two laughed and walked towards their respective quiet chambers, vowing never to leave their seclusion until they became supreme gods and had the right to speak in the world.

Yunmeng Marsh.

"Bai Ling, close the mountain gates and refuse all outside visitors. From this day forward, no one, no matter who they are, shall disturb my seclusion."

Qi's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

Bai Ling hurriedly agreed, but then asked:

"My lord, does this include the One God and the others?"

"Including them."

"Bai Ling, this is the Lord's command."

"Hmm." Qi turned and walked towards the bottom of the pool.

During this seclusion, Qi was determined to achieve complete success before emerging, feeling that he had been too lenient with himself before.

I left Yunmengze in the first place to seek the Dao, to know how to proceed on the next path, and to find a Daoist partner.

Having learned the path ahead and found like-minded companions, they indulged themselves, wasted time, and unknowingly strayed from the right path.

Fortunately, it's not too late to get back on the right track.

The next time he travels through the primordial world, Qi will absolutely not allow himself to become a mere scrap of the great calamity, causing a tragedy to occur in the Yunmeng Marsh.

Before going into seclusion, Qi told himself that the next time he appeared, the entire prehistoric world would hear his voice.

Regardless of the purpose of the great calamity, as a primordial deity, he could not destroy the primordial world; this was his bottom line.

In the time that followed, Qi decided that he would never step out of Yunmengze before he had succeeded.

P.S.: My brothers are back at work. Today is also my birthday, but unfortunately, besides everyone else, I'm spending it alone. Please support me and vote for me! Thank you in advance!
