Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

Chapter 109 Humanity and Fairness Bestow Merit, True Fairness and Justice

Because of Zhen Yuanzi's existence, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the primordial world now each possess corresponding treasures of authority.

Heaven possesses the Heavenly Book of Gods and the God-Slaying Whip!

The authentic place contains the Earth Book, the Earth Mirror, and the World-Suppressing Staff!

Humanity has its own Book of Life and Death, and the Judge's Pen!

However, even the treasure of human authority has now appeared in the world, while the Heavenly Way, being the first to awaken, has yet to manifest its treasure of authority in the world.

The reason for this must be that Heaven had acted selfishly before, deliberately hiding the two treasures for future schemes.

The reason it has not yet been born is because all the immortals and gods of the Celestial Court have not left Penglai Island and have not exercised the Celestial Court's power to rule the heavens over the primordial world, which is why it has not received the supreme and impartial Heavenly Dao's bestowal of treasures.

Neither the Eastern King Duke, who founded the Celestial Court, nor his teacher, the Five Elements, understood the reason for this.

Therefore, when they saw Zhen Yuanzi obtain the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen again, they were both envious and confused.

The Eastern King was extremely surprised and unwilling, and humbly asked, "Master, may I ask why, since I have already established this Celestial Court and possess the power to govern the heavens, I have not obtained the treasure of the Heavenly Authority?"

The Five Elements Ancestor's face hardened, his eyes flashing with helplessness. "It is because you are not a benefactor of Heaven!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Dongwanggong noodle twitched violently.

Heaven's Benefactor?

Even this master of the Earth and Human Paths couldn't become the master of the Heavenly Path, so how could this insignificant being be worthy?

The answer from the Five Elements forced him to suppress his feelings of injustice in the natural order.

We can only hope that the merits that humanity will bestow next will help him take another big step forward.

But will this Dao Lord, who has already taken control of the human realm, really distribute merit fairly?

Although Dongwanggong did not voice this idea, Dijun, who was far away in the Eighth Heaven, asked Yinyang about it with suspicion.

"May I ask, Master, will the merits of our demon race in assisting the awakening of humanity be bestowed upon us?"

Upon hearing this, the Yin-Yang Ancestor pondered for a moment, then his gaze hardened with determination. "They will surrender!"

"He's just wielding the power of humanity!"

"To have the ability to control something doesn't mean it can be changed!"

"No matter how deep his schemes were, he still relied on the various large and small races and all living beings of the primordial world to help humanity awaken."

"This is an indisputable fact. Even if he wields the power of humanity, he cannot alter this fairness and justice based on personal interests!"

"Excellent! Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts."

Upon receiving this confirmation, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and other disciples of the demon race were overjoyed and eagerly awaited the arrival of their merits.

Just like them.

The demonic disciples, thousands of miles away from Lingjiu Mountain, were also filled with anticipation.

Their demon race, having existed since the beginning of time, received many merits bestowed upon them by the Heavenly Dao.

Unexpectedly, the establishment of the demon race also helped the awakening of humanity. If we gain this merit of humanity, our cultivation will surely increase again, and our fortune will be more stable!

Given this, how could one not look forward to it?

Compared to immortals, demons, and monsters, the witches, humans, and Asuras appear much more composed.

As the race that Zhen Yuanzi guided and helped to be born, they naturally had no worries that their new teacher and Dao Lord, who had just taken over the power of humanity, would do them any harm.

At this moment, all eyes in the primordial world were focused on the figure of the Daoist Master Zhenyuan, who held the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen in his palm above the Netherworld Blood Sea!

We await his next move, which will have a profound impact on the primordial world!

Zhen Yuanzi, who was being "watched" by all the spirits, looked down at the two treasures that he had refined in an instant.

The emergence of these two magical treasures signifies that humanity has gained substantial authority, and he has taken control of all the rules of humanity, which will no longer be shared by others!

He, who held the power over humanity, slowly raised his eyes and then loudly proclaimed to the primordial world: "I am Zhen Yuanzi, the benefactor of both the Earth and Human Realms!"

"The fact that humanity has been able to awaken and prosper today is due to the planning of our Zhen Yuanzi, but it is also a contribution to the myriad spirits and races of the primordial world."

"Now that I have obtained the precious authority of humanity, I shall establish the rules of humanity and impartially distribute merits to all living beings in the primordial world!"

As soon as the words were spoken, all the myriad beings in the primordial world were overjoyed.

If there is such a fair distribution of merit, then the human realm will never have any selfish motives when bestowing merit!

The worries I had been keeping in my heart were completely unnecessary.

Whether they are mountain spirits or reclusive cultivators, they all hope to receive a share of merit to help them advance their cultivation to a higher level!

"Heh~"

Luo, having heard Zhen Yuanzi's words, looked at Zhen Yuanzi and let out a disdainful laugh. "What other schemes do you think you have? After scheming for so long, in the end, aren't you just bestowing merit upon our race?"

"No matter how much they struggle, they will ultimately contribute to the destiny of my demonic path!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Wu Xing's eyes. "Humanity is the ultimate justice!"

"My disciples and I have helped the Celestial Court establish itself and helped humanity awaken. We will surely gain merit from this and cause the Celestial Court's fortune to soar."

"At that time, the treasure of Heavenly Authority will most likely be revealed and taken into my possession!"

"If I obtain the authority of Heaven, I will fear neither Hongjun nor Rahu!"

"His scheme has actually become an asset to me! Hahaha~"

The Yin-Yang Ancestors of the Eighth Heaven stroked their beards and laughed, "Hongjun and Luohou intend to attack the Five Elements. Once they are both weakened, the demon race, which I have been assisting, can seize control of the Heavenly Court!"

"At that time, the power of Heaven will be in the hands of Yin and Yang!"

"Suppress—your schemes are meant to help me seize control of the heavens and prove my Dao!"

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth stood atop the clouds, his gaze fixed on his Daoist temple, Mount Ling Shu. "Because of his schemes, my disciple Randeng was spared, but he also lost the precious authority of humanity—"

"He holds the two treasures of humanity in his hands, and now he's so grandly announcing the bestowal of merit with such fanfare—does he truly have no other plans?"

"Given his diverse social activities, it's absolutely impossible that he didn't plan this!"

Hongjun gazed at the sea of blood, his expression growing increasingly grave. "Humanity is supposed to be impartial, and he proclaims that merit will be bestowed based on justice, but the basis for this justice is determined by the magnitude of the merit gained in helping humanity awaken!"

"Such justice is not based on humanity, but on what was planned beforehand!"

Upon realizing this, Hongjun felt a surge of secret joy, thinking, "In this way, I can surely destroy the Five Elements again and gain Heavenly Dao merit!"

Just as Hongjun had predicted, the moment Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, the will of humanity in the world began to operate with a roar.

In an instant.

Boundless golden light of merit surged forth like a tide, illuminating the entire primordial world and making every place with living beings shine with golden splendor!

The golden light of merit suddenly spread out everywhere!

Fifty percent of them were absorbed into the bodies of all races and creatures in the primordial world.

Ordinary beings who receive this merit will gradually gain wisdom!

Mountain spirits and monsters gain merit, shed their animalistic nature, and some even transform directly into human form!

Even cultivators with low cultivation levels can have their bottlenecks loosened and their strength improved due to this merit!

All beings were moved and overjoyed, filled with gratitude and respect for the most just and humane way.

However, compared to all living beings.

The various races and forces that had recently emerged now looked increasingly grim.

Merit?

No, it was as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water!

This is because, regardless of whether they are demons, immortals, monsters, or Asuras, although they all gained merit at this time, the merit they gained was far from what they expected!

One-tenth?

No, less than half a percent!

Even combined, they don't even reach half a percent!

Humanity is paramount!

They were so fair and just that the merits bestowed upon them were exactly the same as those bestowed upon other prehistoric races and beings!

Regardless of race, size, strength, merit, or fortune, all beings are treated equally!

There were tens of thousands of races and countless living beings in the primordial world!

If merit is divided like this, how much merit will each race receive?

Truly fair!
