Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

This was unavoidable; even if Ao Bing had thought of it, he couldn't have stopped it. He couldn't very well relinquish his power to the Jade Emperor just to gain his support, could he?

That's obviously impossible; he'd be a complete fool to do that.

So let's cooperate then. Since we can't stop it, let's focus on improving ourselves before he officially turns against the Jade Emperor.

In this way, as long as he is powerful enough, even if the Jade Emperor is dissatisfied, he will not dare to openly turn against him and can only secretly associate with the two Western Saints.

While both involve cooperation, overt cooperation and covert collusion are completely different.

If it's not a public collaboration but a private interaction, then many things can't be discussed openly and must be done in secret. And if it's discovered, you have to immediately distance yourself from it.

While this approach may yield some benefits, it is certainly not as advantageous as overt cooperation and is subject to significant limitations.

This is the solution Ao Bing came up with to break the deadlock. Since he couldn't stop others, he would find a way to improve himself so that everyone would be wary of him and dare not turn against him.

……

…………

"go!"

Seeing that the two Western Saints, Ao Bing, Donghuang, and others had left one after another, the rest of them followed suit. Now that the primordial world had been reborn, they still had many things to do, such as reviving the creatures from before.

This time, the primordial world was destroyed and rebuilt. Although everything was different from before, the creatures of the old primordial world were not affected by it.

Long before the changes occurred in the primordial world, they were captured by the powerful beings of their respective places using their great supernatural abilities.

If we don't take them away in advance, then with this upheaval in the world, I estimate none of them will survive.

The people only wanted the primordial world to become better; they did not intend to completely cleanse it from beginning to end and recreate life. Therefore, the life forms of the old primordial world should naturally be preserved.

Otherwise, if they all died, even if the primordial world were reborn, life would not be easy for everyone.

The resentment of all the dead beings, gathered together, could probably create a terrifying beast at the Creation Realm.

With everyone's combined abilities, they could certainly slay this ferocious beast at the Creation Realm. However, no one could guarantee how many sacrifices would be made or how much damage would be incurred in the process.

Therefore, even if it's just for their own sake, they must preserve the creatures of the ancient wilderness.

However, while the assets have been secured, the specific arrangements for them afterward are left to chance.

Because the current prehistoric world is completely different from the prehistoric world of the past, it is impossible for people to specially create the same environment for them as before.

Therefore, after discussing it, everyone decided to send the vast majority of the creatures in the old primordial world, that is, all the creatures below the Immortal Path, into the Endless World.

Only those beings who had already become immortals were left behind, allowing them to remain in the Lesser Primordial World and the Four Realms.

As for why this is the case, it's not that the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world didn't want to keep them, nor is it that they were trying to torment them in various ways.

In fact, even in the weakest northern realm of the prehistoric world, the cultivation environment is now far more favorable than before.

The original prehistoric creatures were so well-fed that they could no longer adapt to the current prehistoric environment.

Every change in the environment, whether for better or worse, affects a large number of living beings, forcing them to transform in order to adapt to the new environment.

Those who can adapt will be able to usher in a new chapter in the new era. Those who cannot adapt will, unfortunately, be eliminated by history and become dust of the times.

Nowadays, with the drastic changes in the primordial environment, the original creatures have not undergone the changes along with them and are naturally unable to adapt to the new environment.

If we ignore them and just throw them onto the newly born, desolate land as before, it won't be long before the number of surviving creatures is probably less than one in a billion.

This is a terrible sin, and no one wants to bear the consequences.

In the past, even if they didn't want to take on the responsibility, they would have to grit their teeth and bear it. Because if they didn't abandon all living beings on the desolate land, they had nowhere else to settle them.

But things are different now. While the cultivation environment on the primordial land is indeed excellent, the newly born primordial world is not just the primordial land, but also includes endless worlds and a vast starry sky.

Although the environment of the Endless World and the vast starry sky is not bad, it is still much worse than the primordial land. In many places, the environment is even similar to the original primordial land.

Such a place would undoubtedly be very suitable for settling the creatures of the ancient wilderness.

If we relocate them there, we won't have to worry about their safety. They will surely adapt to the environment quickly and thrive.

Moreover, doing so would not only provide a place for the creatures of the ancient wilderness to live, but also promote the development of the endless world and the vast star realm.

The Endless World and the Vast Star Realm are both newly born worlds. The beings conceived within them are not entirely ignorant, but they are not far from it either. Not even the seeds of civilization have sprouted yet.

In this case, the beings of the ancient wilderness are used as seeds, scattered throughout the endless worlds and vast star realms, allowing them to spread the flames of civilization and guide the development of the native inhabitants of these worlds.

This will undoubtedly greatly shorten the development time of these worlds, allowing them to be put to use as soon as possible.

More importantly, these ancient beings sent out possessed their own lineage.

Treat them as seeds and scatter them into the endless worlds and vast star realms. As time goes by, the lineages of the great supernatural beings will naturally take root and sprout in these worlds.

The most important thing is to use these beings to spread the teachings throughout the myriad worlds. Without their guidance, there are so many worlds that even the most powerful beings would be overwhelmed.

It's not that powerful beings can't create countless clones, sending one avatar from one world to spread their teachings.

Instead, they are currently at a crucial moment in their breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and simply cannot spare any extra energy to do anything else.

Spreading the word is easy, but if it interferes with one's cultivation, that would be troublesome. Even if one were to seize the right to spread the word in these worlds while everyone is in seclusion and cultivating, it would be useless.

Because after everyone else emerged from seclusion, they were all Grand Luo Golden Immortals, but you, because of your role in spreading the Dao, remained at the level of a Great Supernatural Being.

So what's the point of seizing the initiative? Someone can easily crush you with a single blow. Once you're dead, the concept of an initiative naturally disappears.

In the primordial world, strength is paramount. Strength is fundamental; without powerful support, no matter how much one possesses, it's nothing more than a reflection in a mirror or a flower in the water, which can be taken away at any time.

The powerful beings of the primordial world were all cunning and shrewd, and they certainly knew that what was most important to them at the moment was breaking through to become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Compared to that, even something as important as spreading the Dao could be temporarily set aside.

Because the Primordial Era is about to arrive, in this era where Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals emerge one after another, if one does not become a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal, then everything else is meaningless.

Everything that happened afterward was irrelevant to him; he had no right to compete for it. No matter how much he had grabbed before, it would all be easily taken away later.

Therefore, one must first become a Primordial Golden Immortal. Whoever breaks through first will gain the upper hand. Whoever breaks through later will lose the upper hand.

First, one must become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan and rush in to set up the defenses. Then, even if others emerge from seclusion, they can only grit their teeth and accept the reality. Otherwise, as fellow Grand Luo Golden Immortals, how can one forcibly seize the position?

They all knew the importance of strength and were prepared to break through to become Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals before planning anything else.

Under such circumstances, the powerful beings of the primordial world would naturally not be able to spare the energy to travel to the endless worlds and vast star realms to spread their teachings, lest they miss the opportunity to break through.

But just because they aren't going doesn't mean others can't. First, send your own ancient, primordial beings there to lay the foundation for future missionary work.

In this way, it will be much simpler for them to preach after they come out of seclusion, and they won't be in a rush.

Simply put, sending these creatures there is to secure positions in advance. How many they manage to secure has nothing to do with their abilities, but rather with the capabilities of these individuals.

This is true fair competition: everyone secludes themselves, focusing solely on enlightenment, completely ignoring worldly affairs, and allowing their subordinates to compete freely.

Once they emerge from the pass, whoever has the most capable subordinates will reap the greatest benefits and enjoy smoother development thereafter.

This was the first time such a thing had happened to the powerful beings of the primordial world. In the past, they relied entirely on their own efforts to become stronger. Now, however, they placed all their hopes on their subordinates.

It is only at times like these that they realize how important it is to have a reliable subordinate who can handle everything for them while they are in seclusion.

Unfortunately, realizing this now is already a bit too late. Time waits for no one; by the time they've trained a sufficiently capable subordinate, the golden age of pioneering will likely have passed.

Competition in the new era is like this: while personal ability is important, the abilities of subordinates are equally important.

Unless there is a huge gap in strength between them, the only way to achieve better development is to rely on the performance of their subordinates and strive to win more benefits for them.

It's a simple principle: the difference in strength between them is minimal, their abilities are roughly equal, and neither can gain a decisive advantage. In this situation, if they want to compete, they can only place their hopes on their subordinates.

The stronger your subordinates are, the greater the help they provide. With the combination of these two factors, you can defeat opponents of similar strength.

This is the trend of the times. Although we have entered the Primordial Era, contrary to what people think, Primordial experts will not be active in the world. Instead, they will gradually retreat to the background and focus on developing their power.

It's impossible to go on like before, where life-or-death battles break out at the drop of a hat.

Before, if you weren't a Hunyuan (a powerful elementalist), you could really kill your opponent in a life-or-death battle. But now that you've become a Hunyuan, even if the fight is fierce, it's very difficult to kill your opponent.

The Primordial Golden Immortal is indestructible and immortal, a feat not just a saying, but truly difficult to kill. Since one cannot kill the opponent, there is no point in continuing the fight.

Naturally, the focus of the struggle will shift from oneself to one's disciples.

Teaching disciples is also a form of strength; whoever teaches the best disciples is naturally more capable.

Such is the general trend. Although the new era is named after Hunyuan, it is actually an era of farming, where everyone focuses on farming and managing their power.

By vying for supremacy among powerful forces, one can acquire more fortune to accelerate one's own cultivation.

………………

Because they were in a hurry to go into seclusion and break through their limits, these powerful beings acted very quickly. Before long, they had sent all living beings below the level of Celestial Immortal to the Great Thousand Worlds within the endless world.

There are three thousand great worlds within the endless world, but the number of great supernatural beings in the primordial world is not three thousand, only about a thousand.

In other words, even if each person were to divide up a vast world, there would still be plenty left over, thus avoiding many conflicts.

Their allocation method is also very simple: first, each person chooses one of the four great worlds. Then, the remaining worlds are all determined by their own abilities and fair competition.

In order to embody the principle of fighting without breaking apart, they set a bottom line: they can fight for the rest of the world however they want, but no one can touch the world they initially chose.

This is their foundation; no matter how fierce the subsequent struggles, they cannot touch this foundation. As long as this bottom line is not broken, there will still be room for maneuver, no matter how serious the conflict.

In this way, the bloody battle between the Grand Luo Golden Immortals can be avoided, thus preventing a world-ending catastrophe.

First, manage your own world well, and then send people to spread the word in other great worlds, and even in many medium and small worlds, in order to seize more territory and acquire more fortune.

Even Ao Bing, upon witnessing this scene, had to admit that their idea was quite good.

Then, he also sent all the beings below the Immortal Path in the Little Primordial World to various planets in the Star Realm.

Only immortals can adapt to the new primordial world. Creatures below the level of immortals, if they do not wish to die, have no choice but to leave the small primordial world and head to the star realm.

Of course, if these immortals who stayed in the Lesser Primordial Wilderness have offspring, they will be able to adapt to the environment of the Lesser Primordial Wilderness from birth, so there is no need to send them to the Star Boundary.

The beings born in the new era are people of the new era, and of course they will not be rejected by the new era.

Why not go to the Endless World? Because Ao Bing had previously said that he would let these powerful beings take what they wanted without interfering, and it wouldn't be right to go back on his word.

"They've almost finished, now it's my turn to show my skills."

After relocating the creatures of the Lesser Primordial World, Ao Bing made another big move, not setting up a Heavenly Tribulation, but that came later.

What he needs to do now, on a smaller scale, is to reorganize the celestial sphere and the endless world; on a larger scale, it is to adjust the primordial order of the world to better suit his own interests.

The reason why Ao Bing did not compete with others for the benefits of the endless world was not because he was generous, but because his perspective was different from that of others.

While everyone else was still preoccupied with the gains and losses of a single realm or region, he had already set his sights on the entire primordial world.

He wants to use the entire prehistoric world to benefit himself. Everyone's attention is still focused on the prehistoric world. How can they compare to him?

The difference in their perspectives is too vast; there's simply no comparison! (End of Chapter)
