Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

In the Holy Temple of the human race, Jiang Yuan, who was carrying out his daily cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the Emperor Mirror in his hand with surprise.

"How could that be?"

Under his puzzled gaze, a large number of golden lotuses of merit emerged, some flowing into his body and some merging with the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

Immediately, the Emperor Mirror began to tremble violently, its surface shimmering with a divine light of profound yellow, and countless mysterious runes spontaneously formed, creating innate arrays that were imprinted on its surface.

You've been promoted!

Right under Jiang Yuan's nose, the Heavenly Emperor Mirror suddenly underwent an upgrade, from a high-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure to a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure.

"Where did all this merit come from?"

Jiang Yuan asked himself in confusion. Although he had done a lot recently, the only thing that could increase the merit of the Heavenly Emperor Mirror was promoting laws among the human race.

However, the merit gained from carrying out this matter had already been fulfilled. The Emperor Mirror even used it to complete the missing half of the merit, officially transforming into a superior-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure.

This merit was so great that it directly upgraded the Heavenly Emperor Mirror from a high-grade acquired merit treasure to a top-grade one.

What does this mean?

Even if all the merits Jiang Yuan had previously accumulated were added together, they wouldn't amount to this much. If he were to give them to a mortal to absorb, they could allow him to ascend to heaven in one step and directly become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The amount of merit is so exaggerated.

"I see!"

The next moment, a message from the Heavenly Dao allowed Jiang Yuan to understand the cause and effect.

This merit originates from all races!

Humanity's fortunes suddenly surged after it enacted laws. Seeing this, all other races were inspired to follow suit and created their own laws.

Although the laws they enacted may not have been as fair as those enacted for Jiang Yuan, their act of enacting laws still greatly promoted the progress of the legal system in the prehistoric world.

For this alone, Jiang Yuan has rendered a great service to heaven and earth and all living beings. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao made an exception and bestowed upon him enough merit to make him a Great Luo Golden Immortal in one go.

It should be noted that the merits bestowed by Heaven are shared equally between Jiang Yuan and the Heavenly Emperor Mirror.

This half of the merit could upgrade the Heavenly Emperor Mirror from high-grade to top-grade, and naturally it could also upgrade Jiang Yuan from a Celestial Immortal to a Great Luo Golden Immortal. The top-grade acquired merit treasure corresponds precisely to the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, Jiang Yuan would not do that. Although the Great Luo of Merit is good, it is far inferior to the Great Luo of Creation that he has planned for himself.

Even if he becomes a Great Luo Immortal of Merit, he can only be a carefree True Immortal at most in this life. The title of Primordial Overlord or Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth is out of his reach.

"Unfortunately, the Law of All Races is only in its infancy and is not perfect. Moreover, its implementation is not very efficient, and not many people abide by it."

"If it weren't for this, the merits bestowed upon me by Heaven this time would not be so little. They would be at least ten or a hundred times greater, allowing me to soar to the heavens and directly achieve the Quasi-Saint realm."

After learning the whole story, Jiang Yuan was first moved, then disappointed and greatly disappointed.

These powerful beings from all races are utterly useless. They've already established laws, but they can't enforce them. Most of their people treat them as mere decorations, and hardly anyone is willing to abide by them.

This is precisely why Jiang Yuan's merit was greatly reduced this time. Otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor Mirror would not have been upgraded to a top-grade acquired merit treasure, but would have been directly upgraded to an acquired merit supreme treasure comparable to a quasi-saint.

That's what they say, but Jiang Yuan also knows in his heart that it's easy to make laws, but difficult to implement them, because the essence of laws is to restrict the strong and prevent them from acting recklessly.

This alone is enough to make many powerful individuals resist. Therefore, it is normal for laws established by the powerful of all races to be difficult to implement within their own races; it would be abnormal if they were to be implemented at all.

Jiang Yuan was able to implement his own laws among the humans not because he was powerful, but because the humans were too weak and lacked any truly strong individuals. Therefore, he faced very little resistance and could easily suppress it.

However, the situation of the human race cannot be applied to all other races. They have a long history, have produced countless powerful individuals, and have too many vested interests, making their internal situation extremely complex.

As a result, there are many things that even the progenitor might not be able to accomplish.

The saying "a large ship is hard to turn around" perfectly describes this situation. They can identify the problem and find a solution, but they just can't implement it.

"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. These powerful beings from all races are so useless that we can't count on them. I have to take the lead in promoting the rule of law in the prehistoric world and perfecting the order of the three realms."

While he could understand, Jiang Yuan still couldn't hide his disappointment at seeing that this group of powerful figures from all races couldn't even handle such a small matter.

No wonder that countless years have passed and they have not grown stronger or shown any signs of dominating the primordial world.

If they can't even unite their own internal forces, how can they possibly fight against the Witch and Demon races, who are destined by fate? They deserve to be oppressed by them and forced to hide everywhere.

strength!

Formidable strength!

Jiang Yuan now desperately needs immense power. Only in this way can he do what the strongest of all races cannot: force all races to abide by the laws he has established.

Then, he will be able to obtain enough merit to upgrade the Emperor Mirror into a post-natal merit treasure.

To gain legislative and judicial power, it is not enough for all races to obey; the witch and demon races must also obey the laws he establishes.

It's difficult, but Jiang Yuan believes he will be able to do it sooner or later.

……

Having reached Jiang Yuan's level of cultivation, if he doesn't want to change his cultivation path, it's about time he set off for the Heavenly Court to seek the method of Zhou Tian.

Jiang Yuan did indeed have this thought, but before leaving the human race, he had one more thing to do.

That is, to formally promote the Xuanhuangji (玄黄稷). If we want it to shoulder the heavy responsibility of currency, how can we not make it widespread throughout the prehistoric world?

Jiang Yuan previously said he wanted to crack down on theft, and the results were very good.

Under the illumination of the Supreme Acquired Merit Spiritual Treasure Emperor Mirror, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal who steals will be exposed and caught red-handed.

Furthermore, once separated from the human race, the Xuanhuang millet lost its ability to regrow, causing its value to plummet. Over time, naturally, no one stole it anymore.

Once all the races stopped stealing, Jiang Yuan figured the time was ripe to promote Xuanhuangji on a large scale.

Therefore, he specially issued a proclamation in the name of his disciple, inviting those races that had connections with the human race to come to the human race to discuss this matter.

Using the name of a saint was intended to elevate the significance of the event, thereby encouraging the invited races to send sufficiently influential representatives.

Otherwise, if they just send some random nobody, they won't be able to make any decisions, so what's the point of negotiating?

As Jiang Yuan had expected, the races that received his invitation, upon seeing that it was a disciple of a sage inviting them to discuss matters, dared not neglect it and all sent their own Great Luo Golden Immortals to attend the meeting.
