Honghuang: Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 35 Merit, Danger of Human Race

Because he was directly crossing the space, the possibility of encountering troubles and opportunities along the way was very low, so Wei Guang returned to Sanguang Island very smoothly.

After returning, Wei Guang did not choose to practice in seclusion, but instead began to look for the supplies he needed.

First, Wei Guang collected a lot of tree barks and carambola vines, and then found many natural rocks whose main component was calcium carbonate.

The purpose of looking for these things is naturally to gain merit.

The more common things have all been created by humans. If Wei Guang wants to gain merit through acquired creations, he can only do something more complicated.

Coincidentally, Wei Guang knew how to make paper.

Paper may be of no use to practitioners. After all, everyone has different ways of conveying the truth, and something like paper that cannot stand the test of time is not worth their attention.

But it is still feasible to use it to gain merit.

Houses, fishing nets and everything else can be approved by the Heavenly Dao, so there will naturally be no problem with paper. I just don’t know how much merit I can get.

After collecting the necessary materials, Wei Guang began to get busy.

Peeling, lime making, boiling the bark…

It is worth noting that before paper was made, the Heavenly Dao had already begun to reward merits one after another. For example, when Wei Guang made lime, or when he made pots and filters, the Heavenly Dao bestowed merits on him.

Although the merits were not much, when added together, they were better than the remnant of the Chaos Demon God he had killed before.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Merits would be bestowed upon the Sanguang Island every once in a while, which would leave the Jiejiao people and even Tongtian stunned. Since when did the merits of the Heavenly Dao become so easy to earn?

In the blink of an eye, it was already a year later.

At this time, Wei Guang was leisurely lying in a rocking chair in front of the palace, basking in the sun, and on the drying rack not far from him, many semi-finished papers were drying.

It is said to be a semi-finished product, but in fact it only needs to be dried in the sun.

On this day, the wind was blowing and the clouds were surging, and there were strange phenomena in the sky. Although there was no purple air coming from the east for three thousand miles, the dazzling golden light of merit attracted the attention of powerful people from all over the prehistoric world.

Ten thousand acres of merit come from the sky.

Among them, the three kinds of merit dispersed from the main body and finally fell on the papers that were still drying, turning each piece of paper into a spiritual treasure of acquired merit.

The remaining 70% all rushed towards Wei Guang.

Seeing this, Wei Guang was overjoyed. This merit was much greater than he expected. It can be seen how important this paper is to the future protagonist of heaven and earth, that is, human beings.

But it's not enough.

According to his estimation, in order to achieve his goal, he would need at least 100,000 acres of merit. If he only relied on creation, he would have to reach this level more than a dozen times.

Wei Guang collected the merits and waved his hand to bring the papers in front of him.

At this moment, it was not only Wei Guang who was paying attention to those papers. Tongtian, Laozi, Yuanshi, and even the powerful people in various places in the prehistoric world were also paying attention to them.

They were very curious about what kind of thing could attract the favor of heaven and bestow merits upon them.

Wei Guang picked up a piece of paper and examined it carefully. Although the material used to make the paper was far superior to that of later generations, it was also blessed by the merits of heaven.

In fact, paper is still paper. Apart from its function of conveying messages, it has nothing special about it.

If we have to say what is unique about it, it is that with the blessing of merit, these pieces of paper that have turned into acquired merit treasures will not be erased by water and moon.

In other words, the things recorded on this batch of paper will be preserved forever as long as they are not destroyed by humans.

For mortals, these papers are absolutely treasures, but for practitioners they are relatively useless. They can just make a few jade slips to have the same effect.

The powerful people from all sides also roughly understood the purpose of those papers, but it was precisely because of this that they felt depressed. There was nothing special about it. How could this also gain Heavenly Dao merit?

God is confused.

However, the merits were not great, and Wei Guang had an extraordinary status, so everyone quickly withdrew their gazes and stopped paying attention.

But Wei Guang did not stop his actions. Now that he had paper, he could not leave out the other three treasures of the study.

In his spare time when making paper, Wei Guang collected all the things needed to make the other three treasures.

Wei Guang’s next target was the pen.

As far as Wei Guang knew, there was the Judge's Pen among the innate spiritual treasures. It was unknown whether this artificially created pen could gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao and bestow merits.

All I can say is try it.

If it fails, it won't waste much time. If it succeeds, it will prove one thing, that is, merit can be gained by more than just creating things that did not exist in the ancient times.

Wei Guang took only one month to make a pen.

There are merits indeed, but they are not much.

It was also from this success that Wei Guangming realized something: the so-called acquired creation, the reward for merit is not based on the objects, but on the technology.

Of course, if the creature created did not exist in the ancient times, the reward would be greater, such as the race created by Nuwa and the Styx.

After opening up his mind, Wei Guang continued to develop technology in the next few years. His merits continued to befall Sanguang Island, leaving all the powerful people in the prehistoric world dumbfounded.

Although the amount of merit in a single time is not much, the advantage is that it happens many times.

If all of it were used for cultivation, it would not be impossible for Wei Guang to directly reach the perfection of Daluo. As long as he killed one more corpse, he could directly become a quasi-saint level power.

Is merit so easy to earn?
However, soon, the attention of the powerful people from all sides was attracted by another thing. The Demon Court, which had been silent for a long time, finally descended on the earth again.

However, this time, they did not attack the Wu Clan, and even gave in, as if they were afraid of the Wu Clan.

Their target this time is the human race created by Nuwa.

The 30,000-year protection period that Nuwa gave to the human race has long passed, but the myriad races in the ancient world still dare not easily attack this weak race.

After all, they were created by the saint Nuwa.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. No matter how weak the human race is, there is a saint standing behind them. Ordinary people really don't have the courage to touch them.

But what the powerful people from all sides never expected was that the Demon Court would actually attack the human race.

How dare they?
Not to mention that Nuwa is a saint, just based on the relationship between Nuwa and the Demon Court, what they should do is protect the human race, not kill.

Has Di Jun gone insane?
Or is it that the human race is not as important in Nuwa's heart as everyone imagines?

No one knows what exactly happened, but you will know if you read on. As long as Nuwa does not interfere, it means that the human race can be bullied.

Next, powerful people from all sides began to watch the show.

If the demon court didn't move, it would be fine. But if it moved, it would be like a thunderbolt attack. Countless demons poured out of the demon court and attacked the human race, as if they wanted to destroy them in one fell swoop.

The human race will naturally not allow themselves to be bullied, but the gap is too big.

The time of cultivation is only 20,000 to 30,000 years. Even if the human race is the darling of heaven and earth, it is impossible for dozens of quasi-saints to emerge all of a sudden. Let alone quasi-saints, the human race currently does not even have a Daluo Jinxian.

There are only a few Taiyi, and most of them are Golden Immortals, Xuan Immortals, and even True Immortals. How can they compete with the Demon Court?
