Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 66 The Gods Arrive, Sudden Wealth is Imminent

In Yunmengze, Qi opened his eyes during his cultivation. For some reason, he felt as if a rope tightly binding him had loosened.

The innate twelve-grade pure white lotus shimmered with spiritual light, and Qi began to analyze the reasons bit by bit.

The primordial spirit manifested, and under the spiritual light of the Pure White Lotus, all the causes and effects since Qi's birth were revealed, like threads wrapped around the primordial spirit.

These causes and effects are numerous and intricate, most of them only lightly attached, but some of them tightly bind the primordial spirit, preventing it from stretching freely.

Qi frowned slightly, reached out and touched the causes and effects, and discovered that these were all the causes and effects born from the sentient beings who listened to the sermon and the creatures living in Yunmengze.

These causes and effects can all be used for prayer, because they are what all beings owe him.

Qi, however, did not take it to heart. He let the spiritual light of the white lotus shine on his primordial spirit, and the causal bonds that were gently attached to him immediately dissipated, making his primordial spirit much more relaxed.

Since Qi voluntarily relinquished the debts owed to him by everyone, there was naturally no need for these beings to repay their karmic debts or serve Qi.

Only a few distinct and much thicker causal lines remained, no longer wrapped around the primordial spirit, one of which was now much looser.

Qi was curious and reached out to touch it. The scene of him chasing Chaos flashed before his eyes. Then Shen Ni appeared, and Hongjun and Zulong arrived.

"So this thread is the karmic debt I owed when I was saved by Hongjun Laozu. But why did it suddenly loosen?"

Qi originally thought that he would only have a chance to repay this karma after the war between immortals and demons, but he didn't expect that he could repay it now.

Considering recent events, it is said that even the Hongjun Ancestor intervened and mitigated the impact of the flood.

"The Records of Yunmeng Marsh!"

Qi immediately realized what Hongjun wanted, but he couldn't understand why Hongjun would help those water gods like this.

For these great gods of the Heavenly Dao, shouldn't they go to provide disaster relief after the floods break out? Why is Hongjun suddenly so concerned?

Qi was unaware that the Jade Disc of Creation had been shattered, and that several fragments had fallen into the hands of the Dragon and Phoenix clans. If he had known, he wouldn't have had this doubt.

The Jade Disc of Creation is not an ordinary innate spiritual treasure. It is extremely special, representing the Heavenly Dao among the three powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The holder needs to have a true heart of Heaven and Man in order to unleash its power.

In the hands of ordinary people, the Jade Disc of Creation is merely a higher-grade divination artifact.

The concept of "Heaven and Man" actually requires people to think and act from the perspective of Heaven and Earth, which goes against common sense. Therefore, most people cannot understand the thoughts behind Hongjun's actions.

Just like Qi at this moment, he was completely confused and couldn't understand why Hongjun would help those water gods in this way.

The reason is actually quite simple: in the eyes of Heaven and Earth, the mistakes made by these innate deities are insignificant.

The indifference of Heaven and Earth lies precisely in this: if the timeline of any disaster is extended, its traces will disappear without a trace, and the tragic scene of the disaster has no impact on Heaven and Earth.

Even if a disaster were to break out, Heaven and Earth would not care, let alone if it did not break out.

From beginning to end, this event only affected humanity, which represents the will of all living beings. Unfortunately, most of them did not react in this way before the disaster broke out.

Humanity can change the world; by using human power to alter the terrain and water flow, this is in accordance with the principles of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Relying on divine power to control the water is nothing but a castle in the air; it will collapse at the slightest wind or rain.

After the collapse, the mountain is still a mountain, and the water is still water, but the lives crushed by the collapse will never return.

Even the most severe backlash from humanitarian efforts will only occur after the disaster has already occurred.

For Heaven and Earth, those innate deities are His children.

Now that His child has come to his senses and is able to take responsibility for his mistakes, this is why the Jade Tablet of Creation would send Hongjun to help them.

Qi couldn't understand it, but it was a good thing for him. He was happy to see the loosening of the causal chain.

Revealing cause and effect is only one of the most basic functions after the primordial spirit has been established. It enables innate deities to keenly detect the schemes of others during their cultivation.

Without cultivating one's primordial spirit, one cannot comprehend the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, analyze one's own karma, or deduce the secrets of Heaven. One will be unaware of being plotted against and will be unable to move freely, just like a blind person.

Qi put aside his cultivation and walked towards the pavilion in the pond. He needed to make preparations to welcome the arrival of the gods and Hongjun.

Qi wouldn't speak up on his own initiative; he would wait for the gods to admit their mistakes before he could speak up, otherwise it would make him seem cheap.

Qi had already memorized all the water systems involved in this event. He might not remember those who came, but he would definitely remember clearly who didn't come.

Seeing that Qi had a smile on her face, Taiyi asked at the opportune moment:

"Qi, what happened? Why are you so happy? Tell us so we can share in your joy."

This question made Qi's smile even wider. Sure enough, when someone brings up something good to share, it doubles the excitement.

"We're going to make a fortune! With so many innate deities visiting this time, they couldn't have come empty-handed, could they?"

Qi couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth as he spoke, after all, a large windfall was about to arrive.

He had long envied Nuwa's wealth, but there was nothing he could do. Yunmengze was already at its limit to nurture a Primordial Saint while also supporting the Primordial Twelve-Grade Pure World White Lotus and allowing it to grow considerably.

There is no other Buzhou Mountain in the world. Even Kunlun Mountain cannot provide for so many spiritual roots, treasures, and innate deities like Buzhou Mountain.

As Qi anticipated, many water gods began to arrive along the East Sea water veins.

More than 800 water gods, led by the East Sea, the Four Rivers, and the Three Waters, advanced according to their water systems. Each of the eight water gods carried a top-grade innate spiritual treasure as they headed towards Yunmeng Marsh.

Qi was unaware of this. If she had known, she probably would have wished they would do it again.

If he could do it again, then Qi's wealth would be roughly equivalent to Nuwa's.

Sometimes even Nuwa herself didn't know how she accumulated so many innate spiritual treasures.

All she remembered was that she had just been born and, out of boredom, wandered around Buzhou Mountain. The magical treasures seemed worthless to her, and she would collect one every one or two Yuanhui.

Later, it was as if the heavens and earth felt that she had gained too much, so those magical treasures stopped appearing and no longer openly revealed their formations, as if they were all hiding from her.

It also implicated Fuxi, who, apart from the innate spiritual treasure that accompanied him at birth, never saw any other innate spiritual treasures on Mount Buzhou.

The gods, eagerly awaiting their arrival, finally reached the edge of Yunmeng Marsh.
