The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 55 The Essence of Luck, The Rules of the Game (Second Update)

Fuxi recounts ancient tales, recalling bygone years.

The struggle for destiny began as early as the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity.

According to Xi Huang, the dragon and phoenix clans rose and fell because of their destiny!

Ultimately, Rahu took advantage of the situation, and their camp collapsed.

"The First Dragon died on the spot, leaving only a wisp of innate spiritual light, which took a long time to return."

"The Phoenix Ancestor has undergone Nirvana and has been sleeping in the immortal volcano for many years, with the day it reappears in the future unknown."

"The Demon Ancestor Rahu's demonic power was so great that it shrouded the entire prehistoric world in darkness and despair."

"Not to mention, he intends to commit acts of world destruction, shattering heaven and earth, seeking to achieve ultimate sublimation through the Great Dao of Destruction, so as to rival Pangu!"

Xi Huang's voice was heavy and carried a divine charm, making Feng Xi feel as if he had crossed time and arrived in the ancient Dragon and Phoenix Era, personally experiencing the terrifying era when the Demon Ancestor Rahu ruled everything!

"However, in the end, the righteous spirit of heaven and earth will endure forever, and evil will never prevail over good!" Fuxi solemnly said, "Hongjun, holding the Jade Tablet of Creation, invited many innate deities... to concentrate and sublimate the heaven and earth authority brought by their foundation and position, and called upon the ancestral god Pangu who created the world to suppress the primordial world that was about to be destroyed, thus breaking the grand pattern created by Rahu."

"In the end, Rahu was given a just judgment, which led to the defeat and death of the Demon Ancestor."

"The era of heaven and earth has thus turned a new page... We have arrived at this new age!"

Feng Xi was stunned.

Hearing such ancient secrets from beginning to end was truly awe-inspiring.

After all, even the library of the Wu tribe does not have a clear record of this.

At most, it is mentioned only briefly—during the Dragon and Phoenix Era, two races vied for supremacy; the Demon Ancestor seized the opportunity to rise, and the Dao Ancestor quelled the turmoil.

As for the reasons for the struggle for supremacy, the responses from all sides, and how the Demon Ancestor seized the opportunity to rise to power?

nothing.

Even Bai Ze's "Records of the Primordial Era" is a mix of fact and fiction, and is unclear.

How could a magnificent era, with countless beings rising and falling on the stage of heaven and earth, and the contest and struggle between the innate deities, be simple?

However, now that Feng Xi looks back, she suddenly understands.

—Who knows which of the great shamans with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the current shamanic tribe was printing counterfeit money at breakneck speed back then, plundering the wealth created by all living beings in the primordial world.

How can such a story be written down?

As Feng Xi thought this, her face suddenly turned pale and ashen.

He felt... that he seemed to know too much now.

Even so, this information, which didn't specifically point to any particular Ronaldo, made it difficult for him to breathe.

There are too many people involved!

"Relax," Fuxi glanced at him. "With you by my side, the secrets of heaven are shrouded in mystery. This information is like a fog, and no one else can see through it."

"As long as you don't foolishly spread it around, no one will know—unless they perform a soul search on you."

"But if it really comes down to soul searching... I figure you're beyond saving, so it doesn't matter whether it's leaked or not."

Feng Xi let out a long sigh and forced a smile, "That's alright... If no one, not even a Great Luo Immortal, forces me into a corner, I might as well drag someone down with me and loudly leak this information to him, or them?"

"This is a good method of mutual destruction... The Great Luo One is eternally free in endless time and space, and will respond to any call." Fuxi nodded in approval. "As long as you include your Daoist title when you shout, you will be instantly perceived—whether you are in the past, future, or some corner of the vast wilderness."

"Of course, this has to be a truly desperate situation. Otherwise, if in the end it turns out there's actually a chance of survival..." Fuxi smiled knowingly, "then you'll die too, and die a very tragic death."

"And death alone might not be the end... You might want to check out the 18 levels of hell package."

"The Underworld of Reincarnation, does it exist now?" Feng Xi's face turned pale.

"It doesn't exist now, but it will in the future... And what difference will it make to us, the Great Luo, from now to the present?" Fuxi retorted. "So, you'd better take it easy."

"Only those who can keep secrets can accomplish great things."

—If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose his life; if important matters are not kept secret, they will lead to disaster. Therefore, a wise man is cautious and discreet and does not speak out.

Feng Xi nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.

He is definitely not the kind of person who would joke about his own life.

"However, if you can make good use of this fortune and merit system... I think you usually won't be driven to a dead end." Fuxi smiled, easing the atmosphere. "Turning adversity into opportunity, turning misfortune into good fortune... it's very easy and simple."

"But you need to have enough luck to consume..." Feng Xi muttered, weighing the Luck and Merit System. "Luck and merit are valued by all the great Luo figures... so obtaining them must be extremely difficult, right?"

"Moreover, I reckon that even if I had the chance, I'd be closely watched... and Da Luo knows the past and future, so how could I possibly have a chance to interfere?"

He thought for a moment, and putting aside luck, Feng Xi did indeed know quite a bit about acquiring merit.

But is it useful?

Is he capable of helping to create babies?

Or should I help mend the sky?

They even suggested opening up the cycle of reincarnation?

Was Nuwa a benevolent being?

Is Houtu still the cutest and softest?

They can get people to come here and flaunt information that may or may not be true or useful, thus taking away their profits for nothing.

Do you really think that the goddess of the primordial world is only kind and gentle and would never kill anyone?

Feng Xi learned from what Fu Xi had previously revealed that those transmigrators who were sent before the female deities to display their "male" prowess probably met with a very unpleasant end.

Moreover, Feng Xi's personal experience.

After he was tricked into entering the prehistoric era by Houtu Zuwu's words.

He no longer dared to underestimate these powerful and terrifying goddesses.

How old are they?

How many rises and falls of the mortal world have I witnessed?

With his limited skills, what other outcome could he possibly achieve besides delivering vegetables?

Even Da Luo is queuing up to accumulate merit, so what right does he have to cut in line?

After careful consideration, Feng Xi felt that this Luck and Merit System might be a trap!

No matter how advanced the equipment is, what use can it be if it doesn't even have a power source to drive it?

"Don't be discouraged." Seeing Feng Xi's worried face, Xi Huang calmly provided after-sales service and explained the mystery to him, "Actually, luck and merit are not as unattainable as you think."

"They are all around you!"

"It's just that you lack the method to use it."

"Oh?" Fuxi's words were like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating Fengxi's confusion.

"To explain fortune and merit clearly, we must first explain their origins," Fuxi said slowly. "After countless Great Luo Immortals have devoted themselves to in-depth research, their essence is no longer a secret."

"It's very high-end, yet it's also everywhere."

"They...originated from Pangu, and also from all living beings!"

Feng Xi felt a little dizzy.

He could understand that it originated from Pangu—after all, something useful even to a Great Luo Immortal was inextricably linked to this supreme powerhouse.

But what about the masses?

"Do those incredibly weak creatures, without any cultivation whatsoever, also possess destiny?"

"Yes, they also have fortune and merit... Even though they are ordinary beings, they still possess great power." Fuxi's expression was unusually solemn.

He stood up, pointed to the vast天地 (heaven and earth) and the boundless starry sky, "Look... this world is very big and magnificent, constantly operating and demonstrating the supreme Dao and laws."

"Living beings are insignificant, like a drop in the ocean compared to the vastness of heaven and earth. How utterly insignificant is a single, ordinary individual?"

"But we cannot ignore the fact that life itself is also part of the laws of the world."

"The birth, growth, expansion, aging, and death of each weak creature are essentially a tangible manifestation of the many paths of order in the universe, simple yet full of mystery."

"They are ordinary, common, and found everywhere, but that doesn't mean they are useless."

"Once you can gather and refine them, you'll discover that this is a priceless treasure, beyond the imagination of anyone in the world!"

"The essence of destiny lies in thoroughly understanding the interaction between heaven and humanity, and converging it into a great force—a force capable of changing the world!"

Xi Huang smiled, "Even the weakest creatures have a unique place in the world... They all have their own development trajectory, destiny, and future."

"Every instant in these trajectories is an interaction with the primordial world, with immeasurable information influencing and interfering with each other, determining the face of the world."

"Although this trajectory is very vague and even a collection of loose sands, they are often independent and even conflicting with each other, opposing and canceling each other out."

"But once we break through all the constraints and unite as one... that will be a qualitative change!"

Feng Xi seemed to understand something.

"What is Qi? Qi is the essence of all things. What is Yun? Yun is the power brought about by the flow of things."

"This flow is like the wind and water, countless and varied... The Way of Destiny is a framework that brings them together, directing them towards the same direction!"

Fuxi whispered, "To describe it more specifically, it's an incredibly wide riverbed, where countless tributaries converge, leading to the vastest ocean!"

The so-called ocean, where all living beings' fortunes converge, ultimately points to what?

The ultimate Tao is Pangu!

He is the creator of the world, the primordial chaos was transformed by Him, all living beings were formed by Him, and the entirety of a person's Dao fruit is contained within Him.

Using the countless beings in its evolved world as its support, it built its own ship, and the other shore it finally reached was none other than Pangu.

Of course, the Way of Destiny can only play its greatest role in an environment like the Primordial World, where everything originates from a supreme being.

Because even the weakest creature possesses a sliver of supreme essence!

"Now you should understand," Xi Huang said, looking at Feng Xi. "The essence of fortune is actually calculating the wealth value that can be created by all the resources and production capacity of all living beings in the entire prehistoric world within the context of the times."

"These created riches belong to every living being and can be shared."

"Of course, there will be some... but how much of the total profit they might receive is hard to say."

"Some people are worth trillions, while others can only barely survive and shouldn't even think about using them for anything..."

Fuxi smiled, but his expression was somewhat indifferent and ruthless. "For example, you work hard and create wealth worth tens of millions, but in reality... people may only give you a few thousand in salary."

"This is the rule of the game in the primordial world."
