Honghuang: Starting from the Enlightenment of the Great Emperor Dongyue

Chapter 16 South
As the combing of the prehistoric eastern region was completed, the haze that originally shrouded the sky and earth was swept away, replaced by a clear blue sky.

The warm sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell like golden silk threads, covering this weathered land with a layer of golden clouds.

The Eastern Region of Honghuang, after experiencing the destruction of the first catastrophe of Longhan, finally showed new vitality at this moment.

At the same time, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. This rain was different from ordinary rain. It was formed by the gathering of pure merits. Each drop emitted a faint golden light and was as crystal clear as a pearl.

Fine rain of merit falls in strands, nourishing all things. Wherever it passes, the grass and trees flourish and the birds and beasts rejoice.

All the gods who joined Shinto were bathed in this drizzle of merit. They stretched their bodies to their heart's content and greedily absorbed this gift from heaven.

"call--"

"It's so comfortable!"

"This power of merit is so pure!"

The gods all exclaimed in admiration, their faces filled with ecstasy.

The power of merit flowed slowly through their divine bodies like a trickle of water, nourishing their spirits and repairing their once damaged foundations.

The gods could clearly feel that their power was constantly increasing and their realm was steadily improving, and their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction.

"Hahaha, I really made a lot of money this time!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that joining Shinto would have such benefits!"

"Following Emperor Taicang is indeed the right thing to do!"

The gods talked about it, and their awe and gratitude towards Taicang became even deeper.

Although the merit bestowed this time is not too much, it is understandable considering that he has only been a Shintoist for a short time.

After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and if you want to gain more merit, you have to work harder.

Especially those remnants of the former dragon and phoenix, no, they have now joined the Shinto, completely separated from the identity of the three ancient tribes, and become the unique "divine dragon" and "divine phoenix", and their hearts are extremely excited.

They originally thought that after the first catastrophe of Longhan, they would completely withdraw from the stage of history and become a fleeting passer-by in the prehistoric era. However, they did not expect that Emperor Taicang would give them a brand new beginning and a brighter future!

These merits not only helped them wash away part of their own karma, but also gave them hope of restoring the peak state of ancient times. They increasingly identified with Taicang's Shintoism. In just one or two thousand years, they washed away a small part of their karma, which was unimaginable in the past.

"Emperor, it seems that the heaven and earth are very satisfied with our 'work' this time!" Zhuque said with a smile. She looked up at the golden rain of merit falling all over the sky. The golden raindrops slid down her fiery red feather clothes, making her look even more radiant.

She turned to look at Tai Cang beside her, her eyes gleaming with joy, "The merits this time are even greater than we expected!"

The two of them are the undisputed main force in repairing the prehistoric eastern region. They are favored by heaven and earth, and naturally they receive the most merit rewards. Two golden beams of light are poured onto their heads.

Taicang nodded slightly, and the golden beam of merit light enveloped him, making him look more majestic and sacred.

"Indeed." He responded in a low voice, his eyes sweeping over the gods in the Eastern Region who were bathing in the golden rain of merit, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Back then, when the mechanism for distributing merits to gods was being formulated, this was the suggestion he made to heaven and earth after repeated considerations.

This is a more flexible and motivating way to distribute merit rewards. There are two forms of merit reward schemes: "basic salary" and "huge bonus".

The core of this plan is to link merit rewards with the gods' "work" performance. As long as they perform their duties conscientiously, they can obtain corresponding merit rewards. This part of the reward is equivalent to the "basic salary", which is stable and long-lasting, ensuring that every god can get the due reward.

As for those gods who have worked diligently for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, not only without making any mistakes but also making great contributions to heaven and earth, the way of heaven will also bestow a large amount of additional merit as a reward. This part of the reward is equivalent to a "huge bonus", which is generous enough to make any god excited.

Although the total amount of merit obtained in the end is the same, this new way of distribution will undoubtedly motivate the gods to "work" more actively. After all, who would not like a "huge bonus"?

"Emperor, which domain are we going to next?" Zhuque asked in a clear and pleasant voice.

"Of the five regions of the prehistoric world, the East is our base camp. The earth veins have been sorted out. As for the other four regions..."

Taicang was hesitant. In his mind, if he wanted to refine more than 50% of the earth veins, the priority would be the East Region, followed by the Central Region, and then the South Region.

The reason why these two regions were chosen is nothing more than that the Central Region is the future base camp of the Witch Clan. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and there are many Phoenix Clan members in the Undead Volcano in the Southern Region.

"Emperor, why don't we go to the Southern Region?" Zhuque suggested. "There are still many True Phoenix bloodlines in the Undying Volcano. Although their strength is not as great as before, they are still descendants of the Phoenix Clan. If we can subdue them, it will greatly enhance our divine power."

Zhuque was originally from the Phoenix clan. Although she has lost her Phoenix bloodline now, she is most familiar with the south. The mountains, rivers, grass and trees there are all deeply imprinted in her memory.

Now he proposed to go to the Southern Region, one reason was to settle the cause and effect with the Phoenix Clan, and the other was to win over the Phoenix Clan to join for the sake of Shinto.

Taicang pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "That makes sense. The Southern Region is indeed a good choice."

We don’t have the absolute strength to face the Witch Clan yet, and it would be bad if we end up making things worse.

at the same time.

In a corner of the southern region of the prehistoric world, a dazzling five-colored divine light shot up into the sky, like a giant sword that could hold up the sky, tearing through the sky and piercing the clouds, illuminating the originally dark sky.

"Kong Xuan! Today we will kill you here to avenge the oppression of the Phoenix Clan!" Amidst the deafening roar, a giant vulture bathed in flames waved its burning wings, stirring up raging flames, and rushed towards the source of the divine light with great momentum like a falling meteorite.

This giant vulture was the leader of the vulture clan. His eyes were red, and his whole body exuded tremendous anger and murderous intent. It was obvious that he hated Kong Xuan to the core.

The source of the divine light is a gigantic peacock. It has a majestic body and its feathers are like sharp steel knives, flashing with a cold light and exuding the aura of a king dominating the world.

He is the descendant of the Phoenix clan, Kong Xuan!
Facing the aggressive vulture leader, Kong Xuan looked solemn. This was a battle of life and death.

The vulture leader is as powerful as him, both are at the peak of immortal gods. If he is not careful, he will be doomed.

"If it weren't for the protection of my Phoenix clan, you would have become food for beasts long ago. Now you dare to bite back. You really don't know how to live or die!" Kong Xuan's eyes were like lightning and he sneered.

At this moment, he was leading a group of remnants of the Phoenix clan in a bloody battle with the ferocious vulture clan.

The Vulture Clan was originally a vassal of the Phoenix Clan, but since the decline of the Phoenix Clan, they have betrayed the clan and even turned around to oppress the Phoenix Clan, attempting to completely trample the Phoenix Clan under their feet.

"Kill! Avenge our dead tribesmen!" Kong Xuan roared, and waved his peacock wings. The five-colored divine light was like a huge net, covering the traitors.
