Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

The supreme mental cultivation method of the Heavenly Court, the crystallization of the wisdom of the demon race—the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Dao Dao Jing"—is an unparalleled Daoist scripture that can coordinate three hundred and sixty kinds of innate sacred methods.

This is also why Jiang Yuan had to go to the Heavenly Court; without this method, he would have to research a similar method himself.

However, the supreme method that Di Jun had just developed using the combined power of the demon race could not have been researched by him alone. Even with the blessing of the Jade Disc of Creation, it would have been difficult to achieve.

It should be noted that the blessing that the demon race's fortune and the resources they control have brought to Di Jun has already surpassed that of the Creation Jade Disc.

Therefore, if Jiang Yuan wanted to create a supreme method similar to the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Dao Dao Jing", he would have to either collect all the Creation Jade Discs or for the human race to become the overlords of heaven and earth ahead of time. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to do so.

Since I can't do it myself, I can only take what's readily available and go to the Heavenly Court to learn the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Dao Jing of the demon race.

As for whether the demon race is willing to teach him, we'll talk about that after he goes to the Heavenly Court; it's too early to consider those things now.

"The way of creation is all-encompassing and extremely difficult to traverse. Since you have chosen this path, you should be prepared to endure hardship. I hope you can persevere."

After giving Jiang Yuan a final warning, Nuwa's will returned to her physical form. She was currently in a crucial period of seclusion and it was not advisable for her to be distracted for too long.

In any case, she had already given all the things she needed to say. She had fulfilled her greatest responsibility as a master to protect her disciple. How to proceed from here on out was up to Jiang Yuan's own choice.

A master can offer advice on a disciple's future, but it's best not to interfere too much to avoid incurring resentment.

……

After the goddess Nuwa left, Jiang Yuan respectfully bowed deeply to her statue before rising and opening the diagram of character creation.

The arrival of Goddess Nuwa was so sudden that it completely disrupted his plans, leaving him no time to check his harvest.

Cultivating the Xuanhuang millet was certainly a great achievement. But Jiang Yuan's hard work over the past century yielded far more than just this.

On the character creation diagram, the initial version of the "Great Compendium of Primordial Spirit Herbs" has been completed and is just waiting to be released.

After a century of effort, Jiang Yuan had tasted almost all the spiritual herbs near the human race. He not only analyzed their medicinal effects and functions, but also recorded in detail the environment in which they needed to grow.

Incidentally, Jiang Yuan also took the time to draw a fairly comprehensive map of the human race.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Yuan's understanding of the human race's territory is now unmatched, even by the Three Ancestors.

Of course, this only applies to humans. Outside of humans, Jiang Yuan is completely lost. This can be seen from his book, "The Great Compendium of Primordial Spirit Herbs".

All the spiritual herbs that grow near humans are recorded in great detail, including their medicinal effects and uses, growth and maturity cycles, precautions for harvesting, growing environment, and so on.

However, when it comes to spiritual herbs outside the territory of the human race, the information is not so detailed. Only the medicinal effects and functions are recorded, and other aspects are rarely mentioned.

It's all due to a lack of information. Jiang Yuan can not only taste the spiritual herbs near the human race, but also personally inspect them.

However, for spiritual herbs outside of the human race, he could only see the finished products brought by the myriad races. He did not know their growing environment or growth cycle, so he could not obtain detailed information and could only taste their medicinal effects.

This is why Jiang Yuan said that the "Compendium of Primordial Spirit Herbs" he compiled was only the initial version, and there were too many areas that needed improvement.

Even so, the completion of the book still brought Jiang Yuan considerable merit. The character creation diagram and the character creation brush were further upgraded, becoming high-grade acquired merit-based spiritual treasures.

This undoubtedly confirms Jiang Yuan's idea; his approach is correct. If they continue to follow this path steadfastly, it will only be a matter of time before the character creation diagram and character creation brush transform into the Earth Emperor's Book and the Human Emperor's Brush.

The Great Compendium of Primordial Herbs wasn't even fully written down, let alone drawing a map of the primordial world; neither of these are things Jiang Yuan can do right now.

Compiling a book on agriculture was not difficult for Jiang Yuan. Of course it was not difficult; his mind was full of existing knowledge from later generations. He could simply take it, make a few minor modifications, and compile it into a book to be passed down to future generations.

Incidentally, Jiang Yuan also wrote down in detail the knowledge of biological genetics from later generations, especially in terms of breeding and hybridization, and compiled it into a book of creation.

Unlike the previous books, which were published in order to earn more merit, this book was published.

This Book of Creation is the only one that Jiang Yuan does not intend to reveal publicly. Instead, he regards it as a secret of the human race, which only the core members of the human race can learn.

It's no wonder he valued it so much; it was this book that prompted the goddess Nuwa to manifest herself and accept him as her disciple.

Even sages were alarmed, which shows how important this book is; it is truly not suitable for dissemination.

It should be treated as a human clan discipline, passed down only to core members, so that they can use this method to continuously cultivate higher-quality new crops, thereby ensuring the human race's leading advantage and quietly strengthening its foundation.

……

To perfect the Compendium of Herbs, draw maps, teach biological genetics, and compile more books...

So, after a hundred years of hard work, Jiang Yuan's workload has not decreased but increased. Even with many clones, he is too busy to manage and has no time for cultivation.

"The compilation of books cannot be stopped. This is not only related to the birth of the Earthly Sovereign's Book and the Human Sovereign's Brush, but also involves great merit. However, the compilation method can be changed in the future."

"I should shift my focus to overall planning. There's no need to do everything myself. Once the outline is set, I should let go and allow others to refine the details."

This century of effort not only brought Jiang Yuan great rewards, but also made him realize that a person's energy is limited and it is impossible to do everything perfectly.

Therefore, he needs to learn to delegate and hand over some low-level tasks to others, so that he can free himself from heavy workloads and have more time for spiritual practice.

For example, when it comes to compiling a book, once he has finalized the outline, he can easily delegate the task to others. Although this would share some of the merit, it would free up a lot of his time.

Moreover, the benefits of this merit-sharing arrangement will not go to outsiders. Those who helped Jiang Yuan compile the book are definitely his own people.

Sharing their merits with them not only achieved his own goal but also strengthened the human race, making it a win-win situation. Jiang Yuan had no reason to refuse.

There's no need to worry that their compiled books won't enhance the character-making pen and character-making diagrams; a solution to that problem already exists.

As the two treasures advanced, they gained an additional ability: the ability to create clones.

The words written on the clone will not only appear immediately on the main body, but can also be transferred from the main body to the designated clone.

This discovery greatly shocked Jiang Yuan. The ability to transmit text across space in real time—wasn't this just like the internet chat tools that are common in later generations?
