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

Chapter 98: Reclaiming Wasteland or Farming?

The news of "the method for assessing saints?" left all the saints completely bewildered!

No, brother!

Am I already a saint? Why do I still need to be tested?

Do I still need to work?

A shadow passed over the saints' hearts, and they were plunged into self-doubt.

We become saints for the sake of great freedom and liberation! Now you're telling me that even after becoming a saint, I still have to be a beast of burden? How can I accept that?

But the sages had no way to object!

The two people before them were an Immortal Ancestor and a Divine Ancestor! One controlled the Heavenly Dao, and the other controlled the Earthly Dao! Their suppressive power over these saints was still very strong.

"This method was discussed between me and the Divine Ancestor, and today I bestow it upon you all to study in detail!" Hongjun said, but then turned his gaze to Taiyi.

Taiyi coughed, took out a jade slip from his robes, and tossed it into the air!

The contents of the jade slip were revealed.

Each and every rule is meticulously detailed!

At this moment, all the sages looked at Hongjun. No matter how they looked at him, Hongjun didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing. His view of the prehistoric world had always been to let it be.

And although it was Hongjun who announced it, it was Taiyi who brought it out. Clearly, this was Taiyi's intention!

At this point, doubts among the sages increased further. How exactly did the Immortal Ancestor and the Divine Ancestor reach an agreement?

Ha ha!

This story needs to be rewound a hundred years!

The Chaos Golden Lotus opened up the Chaos Minor World! Taiyi originally intended to cultivate peacefully in the Chaos, but then he thought about the future. If he left the Primordial World, wouldn't these Saints turn the world upside down?

Therefore, Taiyi, after much deliberation, decided to put the sages to a test!

Set KPIs and achievable small goals. Prepare several weekly and annual reports! Guide them to get started on their own!

Only then can the primordial fortune continue to grow!

But Taiyi quickly realized that the biggest obstacle to his idea was Hongjun!

In a group, there can only be one voice!

How can I reach an agreement with Hongjun?

Obviously, you can't rely on words!

Having been thoroughly tricked by Hongjun, Taiyi has a very low level of trust in him!

Therefore, there is only one way to reach an agreement at this point: through force!

Therefore, Taiyi sought out Hongjun!

A century later, the two had a friendly exchange amidst the chaos!

Without mobilizing the power of Heaven and Earth, it was merely a clash of their magical power and cultivation levels! In the end, Taiyi still had a slight advantage!

So Hongjun came today because he was forced to!

Although he was forced into it, the matter was clearly beneficial to him, so he cooperated reluctantly but didn't cause too much trouble.

"God Ancestor, Immortal Ancestor, your method for assessing saints is still too complicated. Could you explain it in simpler terms?" Tongtian looked into the void, the rows of boxes giving him a headache!

Taiyi coughed twice, then began to explain to the saints.

At this moment, a scroll appeared in the void, which was a microcosm of the primordial world!

"As you can see, I have roughly divided the primordial world into the Nine Provinces and the Four Seas. We, the Sages, now number twelve: Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian, Nuwa, Fuxi, Wangshu, Kunpeng, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Wangshu! Except for Wangshu, who is seated in the Heavenly Court and cannot easily leave, the others will each choose a region as their area of ​​responsibility. Each Sage will be in charge of all affairs within that region. In some time, the Immortal Ancestor and I will refine the Primordial Cauldron to gather the primordial fortune! At that time, each region will have a branch cauldron, and every ten thousand years, the fortune of each branch cauldron will be assessed!"

The mention of assessments immediately perked everyone up!

"The rankings will be based on the combined assessment of the spiritual energy of all living beings and the overall energy flow within the designated area. The Immortal Ancestor and I will announce the rankings at Zhou Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Sheng's heart tightened!

If Zhou Shan announces the rankings, wouldn't that be a complete disaster?

The one ranked first will naturally become famous, while the one ranked last will probably experience a major drop in fortune!

After all, the entire prehistoric world knows you're number one!

At this moment, all the sages felt an inexplicable sense of urgency: they absolutely could not count down! This was the common sentiment of all the sages!

At this moment, the saints exchanged glances and saw sparks flying in each other's eyes!

"I will name this system the Sage Responsibility System! During this period, you will be responsible for everything within the areas you govern. I will not interfere, Heaven will not interfere, Earth will not interfere, and the only standard for evaluating you will be the fortune of the Primordial Cauldron! So everyone! You need to work hard!" Taiyi spoke eloquently, placing a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the sages!

The saints suddenly felt immense pressure!

This is truly the essence of a sage! A sage, by virtue of their status, should shepherd all living beings and enhance the fortune of heaven and earth. They shouldn't hide at home in solitary cultivation, neglecting the ultimate goal of sagehood!

Those who are devoted to spiritual cultivation should go to the chaos and cultivate peacefully, rather than be worshipped by all living beings in the primordial wilderness.

"I say, Ancestor God, some places are barren, some are rich. Some of our Great Daos are good at teaching, some are good at fighting. Isn't your assessment a bit unfair?" At this moment, Jieyin expressed his doubts about Taiyi's assessment standards among the crowd.

"What you said makes some sense, Jieyin, but in addition to the original assessment criteria, I have bonus points!" Taiyi looked at Jieyin and said confidently.

"Bonus points?" A look of doubt appeared in Jieyin's eyes!

Not only Jieyin, but also the other sages showed some confusion in their eyes.

This bonus point is clearly quite unfamiliar to them!

"Here are the details of the bonus points! Take a look!" Taiyi didn't keep them in suspense. A glimmer of light emanated from his body and then transformed into a piece of text!

"1. Those who possess great virtue and are recognized by Heaven or Earth will receive an additional 30% increase in fortune, in addition to their increased fortune."

2. Those who slay extraterrestrial demons will be granted fortune based on the demon's power.

three.....

This is the last part of the text!

Those who participate in the pioneering of the primordial wilderness will receive substantial rewards based on the area they cultivate and the world's essence they obtain!

The rewards for each item are different, but the biggest bonus is at the end!

Clearing the land!

After reading the entire text, all the sages fell silent!

There's so much information here, I need to study and think about it carefully!

"God Ancestor, what does it mean to open up new lands?" Hongyun asked at this moment!

"The so-called reclamation refers to opening up the chaos. Within the chaos are savage beasts, as well as three thousand hidden gods and demons. Reclaiming the land means breaking up the chaos to create a world, merging it into the primordial world. Of course, slaying a god or demon to obtain its essence can also be exchanged for fortune! If you don't choose to govern a certain area of ​​the primordial world, you can choose to reclaim the land directly! After all, if the reclamation is done well, the benefits will definitely be greater than farming."
