Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

On the contrary, since the birth of the Endless World, Little Primordial World has been continuously feeding resources into it to help it develop better.

"That's not right. Doesn't the existence of endless worlds also strengthen the Lesser Primordial World? Without the Sixfold World Vortex, how could the ancestral veins have advanced?"

The two Western Saints retorted with dissatisfaction, acknowledging that the Lesser Primordial World had been continuously channeling resources outwards, including the Western Great Realm, which had also benefited from it.

However, they made it sound as if they only benefited and contributed nothing at all.

Putting aside the fact that without the support of the Sixfold World Vortex, how could the Primordial Ancestral Vein have advanced to the Half-Step Eternal Realm?

It was clearly a mutually beneficial situation, but in Ao Bing's words, it became as if the Little Primordial World was making a one-sided sacrifice. How could they tolerate that?

"Did Little Primordial World give more, or receive more?" Before the others could agree, Ao Bing asked first.

"Naturally, it's small..."

Sage Zhunti spoke subconsciously, but before he could finish, he seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped talking.

Ao Bing isn't doing charity work. After his actions, he definitely gained more than Xiao Honghuang did.

However, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart, but you can't say it out loud.

Because that's not how you make comparisons. If you're going to compare, you should compare it to the previous situation, not just the gains and losses of Xiao Honghuang.

The gains in Xiao Honghuang far outweighed the losses, which was inevitable. Otherwise, Ao Bing would have been busy for nothing.

Furthermore, thanks to Ao Bing's actions, the primordial world has become many times stronger than before, and all worlds have benefited from it.

Given his achievements, it's only right that he receives more benefits. Otherwise, should Ao Bing be allowed to make contributions without being allowed to receive anything in return?
Since the beginning of time, there has never been such a principle. Therefore, since Ao Bing has made contributions, it is entirely reasonable for him to receive more benefits.

Based on this reasoning, the two Western Saints' accusation that the Little Primordial World's gains far outweighed its losses is somewhat untenable.

That is indeed the truth, but it is what should be done and cannot be used as a reason for accusation or even blame.

Overall, although the existence of the Endless World and the Four Realms also benefited the Lesser Primordial World, in terms of contribution, the Lesser Primordial World was definitely the greatest.

Of the three, only the Lesser Primordial Wilderness is indispensable and irreplaceable. Since it is the most important, it should naturally be placed first.

I help you become stronger, so it's only right that you give me something in return. Otherwise, why should I help you become stronger? You can't expect me to take all the benefits without giving anything in return, can you?

It is only natural that powerful beings and geniuses from all realms ascend to the Lesser Primordial World. This is not only to promote the development of the Lesser Primordial World, but also to alleviate the pressure on the major worlds.

We shouldn't just focus on the resources consumed by the endless world in nurturing geniuses and powerful individuals. Frankly, what are these resources? Compared to the resources needed to support the cultivation of these geniuses and powerful individuals, they are utterly insignificant.

The resources consumed during cultivation are the real bulk of the cost, exceeding the resources needed to nurture them by at least tens of billions of times.

With their departure, such a vast amount of resources is saved, allowing the endless world to cultivate even more geniuses and powerful individuals.

As for the resources they carried with them when they ascended to the Lesser Primordial World, there's no need to mention them at all. Given the speed at which the Lesser Primordial World supplies resources to the Endless World, those resources will be replenished in no time.

In other words, despite Ao Bing's actions—that the powerful figures and geniuses of the endless worlds are all ascending to the Lesser Primordial World—he is actually sucking their blood.

In reality, all the resources that nurtured and cultivated these geniuses and powerful individuals were provided by the Little Primordial Wilderness.

In this process, Endless World merely played the role of nurturing the child, and incidentally received a large sum of money as a reward.

Under these circumstances, the claim that Ao Bing's act of guiding geniuses and powerful figures was akin to sucking the blood of endless worlds is simply untenable.

He did indeed offer compensation; it wasn't unpaid. The two Western Sages and the other powerful beings of the primordial world weren't unaware of this, but they were feigning ignorance for their own benefit.

If they don't play dumb and ruin this matter, and Ao Bing actually succeeds, then their interests in the Endless World will undoubtedly suffer a huge loss.

"This move is still inappropriate."

Ao Bing had already made things clear, so the others could no longer pretend to be confused. But even so, they still didn't intend to back down.

Face and reputation are all superficial, but the benefits of the endless world are very real. For the sake of those benefits, one can be shameless.

They simply refused to believe that, despite their unanimous opposition, Ao Bing would dare to risk incurring public wrath and act unilaterally.

"Everyone, I have already made great concessions. Otherwise, this guiding divine light would not only be established between the Endless World and the Lesser Primordial World, but would also connect the four great realms in between."

Knowing what everyone was thinking, Ao Bing dropped another bombshell. The cultivators of the Endless Worlds couldn't resist the temptation to go to the Lesser Primordial Wilderness, and the same was true for the cultivators of the Four Great Realms.

Unless one gives up and gives up, the desire for a better life is an instinct of all living beings.

Therefore, given the opportunity to go to a better place, few people would be willing to give it up. Their innate instincts would drive them forward.

Ao Bing had long anticipated that if he did this, the interests involved would be too great, and the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world would inevitably turn against him.

Therefore, he deliberately kept a backup plan before taking action, only involving the endless world and not further involving the four realms.

This is to leave enough room for maneuver between himself and the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world. If they are willing to cooperate with his plan, then it will naturally be very difficult for cultivators from the four realms to go to the Lesser Prehistoric World.

Conversely, if they are unwilling to cooperate with his plan, then the threshold for the Four Realms to enter the Lesser Primordial World will not be outrageously low, but it will not be very high either.

Anyone with the potential to cultivate into a mythical Taiyi can directly reach the Lesser Primordial World through the guiding divine light.

Compared to the Endless World, the Four Realms are the Achilles' heel of these powerful beings. This is because the potential of the Four Realms far surpasses that of the Endless World; they are their greatest foundation, and they cannot afford to lose them.

However, it is a fact that the cultivation environment in the Lesser Primordial Wilderness far surpasses that of the Four Great Realms. If Ao Bing were to lift the restrictions and allow the geniuses and powerful figures of the Four Great Realms to enter the Lesser Primordial Wilderness for cultivation, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

Put yourself in their shoes. If they were cultivators from the Four Great Realms, they certainly wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to cultivate in the Lesser Primordial Wilderness.

Thinking about it this way, all the powerful beings present felt a chill run down their spines, because Ao Bing had truly grasped their weakness.

As long as the Little Primordial World lifts its restrictions, the Four Great Realms will immediately become its talent pool, continuously supplying it with new talent.

In this way, the fortunes of the Four Great Realms will inevitably flow to the Lesser Primordial Wilderness on a large scale. At that time, even if they are the rulers of the Four Great Realms, they will not be able to gain much benefit from them. Because all the benefits will flow to the Lesser Primordial Wilderness and fall into Ao Bing's hands.

Upon realizing this possibility, some powerful individuals immediately backed down and gave way, saying, "We have felt the Star Lord's goodwill; he has indeed left us some room to maneuver."

"However, it is true that the Four Great Realms are our foundation. But in the endless worlds, there are still thousands of Great Thousand Worlds, which are still our foundation."

"Since neither of us can convince the other, let's each take a step back."

"These thousands of great worlds are no longer connected to the Lesser Primordial World. As for how the cultivators in these worlds develop, we need not trouble the Star Lord to worry about it. We will make the arrangements ourselves and will not delay them."

"As for the worlds outside of this, the fate of the cultivators there depends entirely on their own will. Those who wish to go to the Lesser Primordial Wilderness can leave through the guiding divine light; those who do not wish to go will not be forced by the Star Lord."

"What does the Star Lord think of this arrangement?"

The words were spoken by a person with great supernatural powers, but the meaning is a consensus among many people with great supernatural powers.

They were unwilling to fall out with Ao Bing, so they each backed down. They didn't care about other things, but they would never allow their core territory to be lost.

"also may!"

Ao Bing did not agree immediately, but weighed the matter for a long time. Only when the patience of the great supernatural beings was about to run out did he reluctantly nod in agreement.

If you agree too readily, it will give people the impression that your bottom line is much higher than that, making them feel like they've been taken advantage of.

Therefore, when it's time to act appropriately, it's necessary to make a gesture to avoid making them feel like they've been taken advantage of.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If they could, they really wouldn't want to fall out with Ao Bing. It wasn't that they were afraid, but rather that their reasons for turning against him were untenable.

Preventing cultivators from the Endless Worlds from traveling to the Lesser Primordial World is tantamount to preventing them from reaching a better future. If word gets out, their reputation will be ruined.

In contrast, Ao Bing's reputation will undoubtedly grow stronger. Under such circumstances, if Ao Bing were to openly preach throughout the endless world, who would still choose them?

This alone is enough to make them hesitant and afraid to turn against Ao Bing.

"you……"

The two Western Saints glanced at the crowd and sighed, somewhat annoyed by their lack of ambition.

If we were to ask who among them least wanted Ao Bing to have his hands on the Endless World, it would undoubtedly be these two.

Among the many powerful individuals who entered the Endless World, these two were the strongest. If it came down to a matter of individual ability, the other great supernatural beings might not be able to defeat them.

But if Ao Bing were to get involved, things would be hard to say, because Ao Bing's strength and influence are above theirs.

If it really comes down to competition, they definitely can't beat Ao Bing unless they resort to underhanded tactics. This means that with Ao Bing's involvement, their interests in the Endless World will undoubtedly decrease significantly.

With this in mind, it's no wonder the two Western Saints were happy.

"Fellow Daoists, don't you think that the dragon-human is being a bit too aggressive right now?"

"The benefits of the Primordial World are so many, but what is the result? He has already monopolized the Starry Sky and the Lesser Primordial World, which have the most resources and the best locations, but he is still not satisfied and wants to meddle in other places as well."

"If we let him continue like this, all the benefits of the primordial world will probably fall into his hands, and what will be left for us?"

Enraged, the Sage Zhunti's eyes darted around, and he had an idea. He secretly transmitted his voice to the others, speaking in a provocative tone.

"Enough with the nonsense, just state your purpose. Anyone can see through this."

Even though they knew that Sage Zhunti was trying to sow discord, many powerful figures still fell for it, especially Ancestor Styx, who directly told Sage Zhunti to speak frankly and not beat around the bush.

Zhunti's words, though seemingly provocative, were also a reflection of the truth. Ao Bing had gone too far, trying to meddle in everything. At the moment, everyone was hesitant to oppose him due to his imposing presence, so they all chose to back down.

But if they can retreat today, can they retreat again if Ao Bing wants more in the future? Of course not, because if they retreat again, they will have nothing left.

Since they could no longer back down, they had to make a move. They needed to at least dampen Ao Bing's momentum and deflate his arrogance, so that he would know that they were not to be trifled with and that he would not make any excessive demands later.

When the Sage Zhunti spoke up to sow discord at this moment, it was exactly what everyone wanted to hear, and they were naturally happy to fall for it.

It is said that Zhunti is using them to deal with Ao Bing, but isn't this exactly what everyone is hoping for?
Moreover, with the sage Zhunti leading the way, if any problems arise in the future, he can be pushed out to take the blame, so as not to be implicated.

When someone's strength reaches a certain level, they can no longer be easily manipulated. It's all about mutual exploitation and getting what they need.

As for the final outcome and who benefits the most, that depends on their individual abilities.

"Since everyone thinks this way, then I'll be frank. What humans and dragons rely on is nothing more than the Lesser Primordial World and the starry sky."

"Even if he loses these two places, just causing problems in these two places will be enough to keep him busy and prevent him from interfering in the rest of the world."

"My plan is related to this. As for the Lesser Primordial World, we can't get involved for the time being, but as for the Starry Sky, we can certainly make a move."

"That method of transforming the false into the real can not only be applied to the world, but also to the stars. If humans and dragons can transform the false into the real to fill the gaps in the starry sky, then we can naturally do the same."

“We have thousands of powerful beings here. If we really put all our strength into it, we can project thousands of main stars.”

"The addition of these thousands of main stars will not only make the starry sky stronger and enhance the foundation of the primordial world, but will also take away the star sovereignty of the dragons and weaken their control over the starry sky. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone."

The Sage Zhunti offered a sinister plan—no, it shouldn't be called a sinister plan, because for the prehistoric world, it was an act of great merit that couldn't be better.

Currently, there are only 360 main stars in the primordial world. If a thousand more main stars were to suddenly appear, the increase in power to the starry sky would be unimaginable. As the starry sky becomes stronger, the entire primordial world will benefit immensely.

If this isn't a good thing, then what is?
Sage Zhunti's plan was a blatant, overt scheme. According to his arrangement, both the prehistoric world and the starry sky would only benefit, suffering no harm. The only one who would suffer a loss was Ao Bing, yet he had no grounds for complaint. (End of Chapter)
