Primordial Era: Reborn as Taiyi, I Don't Need Brothers

Chapter 50 The Seed of Totem, the Beginning of Incense and Divine Path

Taiichi was stunned for a moment!

These red clouds are truly amazing!

They have the aspiration to attain enlightenment, but lack the decisive means to achieve it.

But then Taiyi laughed. The reason he was willing to bring Hongyun into the Heavenly Court back then was precisely because he valued Hongyun for this reason.

My heart is devoted to all living beings, and I have never wronged anyone.

"Since you care, then go ahead and do it. But when gods act, they must have a great reason. Where does your great reason come from?" Taiyi smiled and looked at Hongyun, not caring at all about the disrespect in Hongyun's words.

"Isn't the Witch Clan's harming of people enough?" Hongyun looked at Taiyi with burning eyes.

"The Witch Clan will die if they don't eat meat. Are other living beings living beings, but the Witch Clan isn't?" Taiyi looked at Hongyun speechlessly! This person's class stance was a bit off.

Hongyun was speechless, unsure how to refute the argument! He was a man of utmost integrity and would not resort to sophistry.

"Gods fear the cause, mortals fear the effect. Even a Primordial Chaos expert cannot sever cause and effect. Therefore, to save all living beings, one must understand cause and effect," Taiyi continued.

"Please enlighten me, Divine Ancestor!" Hongyun realized that Taiyi intended to teach him.

"Fellow Daoist, are you familiar with the Dao of Totems?" Taiyi looked at Hongyun and said leisurely.

"I don't know!" Hongyun shook her head.

"A totem is a protector that a tribe seeks when it is weak. The tribe usually offers sacrifices to it, and when the tribe is in crisis, the totem will step in to protect the tribe. If you want to step in, you must become the totem of all the tribes in the primordial world!" Taiyi said to Hongyun.

"Totem?" Hongyun murmured to himself, lost in thought.

The practice of totems, in essence, is a part of the worship of incense and deities. Ordinary people offer incense as a form of worship, while tribes offer blood offerings; at their core, it all stems from the collective will and desire of all beings.

Taiyi originally had no intention of promoting the incense-based deity path on a large scale in the prehistoric world, because the most suitable group for the incense-based deity path had not yet appeared. However, since Hongyun insisted on it, it was appropriate for the totem path to emerge.

This road is also a broad and prosperous road; in fact, it is different from the divine road and even tends to be like the divine road.

"What should I do?" Hongyun looked at Taiyi with some confusion.

"Traverse the vast wilderness, spread the faith, and sing my true name. Those who do so will have eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation. Establish totem-based anti-heaven forces to protect the tribes that worship the totem!" Taiyi taught Hongyun little by little.

After a long private conversation, Hongyun finally left the Ancestral God Heaven satisfied!

The Wu tribe is still preparing for expansion, and Hongyun still has a little time.

Taiyi gave Hongyun an idea, and the divine path opened up a path for him!

Fight against the Witch Clan! Protect all living beings! It all depends on Hongyun's abilities.

At least to some extent, Hongyun will not die, and the Heavenly Court will not go all out against the Witch Clan because of Hongyun.

Hongyun is like a talented disciple with powerful backing who is sent out to gain experience; at least he won't die, and the other heavenly courts don't care!

Now, the world is like a stage, and how far Hongyun can go depends entirely on him.

Hongyun has left!

Taiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then summoned Fuxi, who was once the progenitor of Chinese civilization and had great potential in governance and administration.

Taiyi summoned Fuxi this time mainly to arrange the promotion of merit coins and the opening of new businesses in the Heavenly Court.

Having experienced the first sermon, the primordial beings have gradually begun to prosper! Countless races are slowly emerging under the shadow of the three races! This is the opportune moment for the primordial beings to experience explosive growth!

A brand new market has appeared before Taiyi, and now is the perfect time to seize it!

Fuxi has been very busy lately, as creating divine script has taken on a large part of the work! There are also many other matters that require his attention.

"Greetings, Divine Ancestor!" Fuxi came to Taiyi's side, bowed, and then sat down to the side, beginning to pour Taiyi's merit tea himself!

Upon tasting a cup of "merit water," Fuxi's primordial spirit felt almost instantly much lighter.

"What are your orders, Ancestor? Please speak quickly, for my research on divine script has reached a critical juncture!" Fuxi said, frowning. Creating divine script consumes a great deal of mental energy.

"I have an important business to entrust to you, so I would like to ask you to temporarily put aside the matter of the divine script!" Taiyi smiled and looked at Fuxi.

"Fellow Daoist, do you perhaps wish for me to give this merit to my own disciple?" Fuxi frowned and asked.

The creation of divine script must have brought merit! Now that we have reached a critical moment, Taiyi actually wants to transfer Fuxi away, which inevitably makes Fuxi suspicious.

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. I absolutely did not mean that. If you can complete the task I am now assigning you, I guarantee you will have inexhaustible merit and an unending flow of fortune," Taiyi said, looking at Fuxi with a smile. "Moreover, I am currently researching a method for creating external avatars. I will pass it on to you when the time comes, so that you can refine an external avatar and thus manage both!"

"Please tell me in detail, Ancestor," Fuxi asked, his eyes lighting up as he moved closer to Taiyi.

"In this primordial world, all races are about to rise, but their development is fraught with difficulties. I intend to add a Primordial Development Bank to the existing trading center. If any beings in the primordial world have grand ambitions and need massive resources, they can come to the Primordial Development Bank for a loan. We will give them our fortune and merit in advance, and they can repay the fortune and merit within the next two or three hundred years. The annual interest rate is 1%, which should not be a problem!" Taiyi explained the development of the Primordial Bank in detail.

Simply put, it's almost identical to the development model of banks in later generations. You apply for a loan if you need one, and if the interest rate is high, these borrowers are essentially working for the bank.

Fuxi's eyes shone with countless lights, and in Taiyi's description, he felt countless merits converging upon him.

"The Primordial Development Bank aims to promote the development of all races in the Primordial World. Loans are not only for merits and fortune, but also for elixirs, spiritual objects, and so on. As long as the person has enough fortune and there are no restrictions on their race, or if they have a blessed land, we will lend to them boldly. After all, even if they can't repay, they can still use real estate to offset the debt," Taiyi said leisurely.

"What if they maliciously steal the merit coins and run away?" Fuxi asked after thinking for a long time.

"Lord Fuxi, having comprehended the secrets of heaven, surely you can find out where he is? No matter who he is, no matter where they are! Anyone who dares to owe the Heavenly Court money must get it back!" Taiyi spoke, exuding an air of dominance!

"As the head of the Primordial Development Bank, you will receive 30% of the Heavenly Court's profits, while the remaining 70% will go to the Heavenly Court. Don't underestimate this 30%; it's enough to accumulate enough merit to become a saint!" Taiyi added at the end.

Is becoming a saint enough?

Fuxi asked in surprise!

"That's more than enough. Keep an eye on the cloud forum lately; I'll be updating it with some speculations on achieving sainthood and the mysteries of external avatars!"
