Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

What should you do if you can't renege on your debt but really can't pay it back?

It's impossible for them not to repay. You must understand, a Great Luo Golden Immortal is the greatest wealth in itself. Especially the Great Luo Golden Immortals of all races, who are basically innate gods and demons, and their value is extremely high.

If you really can't repay the debt, then use yourself to pay it off. First, use your essence and blood; if that's not enough, then use your primordial essence; if that's still not enough, then use your physical body and primordial spirit.

In short, the Great Luo Golden Immortals are treasures from head to toe. If Jiang Yuan lends them money, he's not worried about whether they can repay it; rather, he's worried about whether they can.

What does the interest on the loan matter? Jiang Yuan doesn't care at all. He's never been after interest in this business; he's after the great immortals who lend money.

According to his cultivation method, the further he progresses, the greater the difficulty of cultivation becomes, requiring him to constantly condense powerful avatars. This power must at least be at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

In that case, instead of painstakingly condensing a Great Luo incarnation, it would be better to directly devour a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which would save both time and effort.

Although Jiang Yuan doesn't need to condense the Great Luo Avatar yet, he will need it sooner or later, so he has to plan ahead for himself.

Lending was his means of planning this. He had already decided that once he arrived in Heaven, he would open a pawnshop and then secretly lend money at exorbitant interest rates.

In this way, when those indebted demons can no longer repay their debts, he can legitimately devour them to increase his cultivation.

He wanted to use all the methods of exploitation and cannibalism employed by capitalists in later generations on the demon race.

In fact, Jiang Yuan harbored another ambition: wasn't the demon race cultivating the Zhou Tian Demon God? If he could lend money to them, he could make them unable to repay it.

That would be wonderful. This way, Jiang Yuan could wipe them all out and devour them all. Afterward, he could naturally cultivate the Zhou Tian technique.

There are a total of 360 Zhou Tian Demon Gods, who were specially trained by the demon race to better operate the Zhou Tian Star Array. Each one is the elite of the demon race, and is a top performer among the Great Luo Golden Immortals.

They cultivate the 360 ​​innate divine methods that make up the Zhou Tian Fa (a system of celestial circulation). Therefore, by simply devouring them, Jiang Yuan can quickly master the Zhou Tian Fa and reach the realm of a Creation Quasi-Saint.

Unfortunately, while the idea is good, it's extremely difficult, almost impossible, to realize. Not to mention that the Zhou Tian Demon God has no shortage of resources and wouldn't need to borrow from Jiang Yuan.

Even if they really owed Jiang Yuan money and couldn't pay it back, they had a better option than being devoured by Jiang Yuan: to join forces and kill him.

If the creditor dies, the debt is naturally canceled, right?

…………

Once the array diagram is passed down, Jiang Yuan doesn't need to worry about the rest. The Great Luo Immortals of the Hundred Races will handle it themselves. He only needs to wait for the teleportation system to be completed.

However, Jiang Yuan was the kind of person who couldn't stay idle. Seeing that he had nothing to do for the time being, he didn't go into seclusion to cultivate, but instead started conducting experiments.

What experiment?

Resurrecting congenital gourd vine through an experiment!

Long ago, back in Jiang Yuan's previous life, he had a question: had the innate gourd vine, one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, truly been completely cut off from life?

Those are innate spiritual roots, and the highest-grade ones at that. In terms of value, they are even comparable to innate treasures. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the most powerful beings in the primordial world.

Would such a being truly lose all vitality and become a lifeless object once the seven innate gourds it produced were harvested?

Jiang Yuan didn't know what others thought, but he felt it was impossible. The innate gourd vine must still have some life force left, just too weak, too weak to be detected.

If the innate gourd vine were to die like this, it would be a disgrace to its title as one of the top ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world.

Doesn't this lower the prestige of top-tier spiritual roots? How will the other nine innate spiritual roots feel about themselves? Won't they feel ashamed to be ranked alongside it?

"No matter how faint the hope, as long as it remains, there is a possibility of revival. Let me see if you are truly gone forever."

Inside the sacred temple, Jiang Yuan looked at the sacred object offered by the human race, the Creation Whip held in the hand of the statue of Goddess Nuwa, and said in a low voice.

The Creation Whip used by the goddess Nuwa to create humans was transformed from a primordial gourd vine. From this perspective, it must have truly died, otherwise how could it have become a magical artifact?

However, on the other hand, the four innate lotus platforms among the ten spiritual roots, despite being innate spiritual roots, can be used as magic weapons.

This shows that innate spiritual roots are quite comprehensive; they can be used as spiritual roots or as magical artifacts.

"Alas, if the innate gourd vine, as a top-tier innate spiritual root, were to be transformed into a magic weapon, it should become a top-tier innate spiritual treasure."

"However, it incorporated acquired merit, which changed its nature from innate to acquired. Therefore, after becoming a magic weapon, it can only become a top-level treasure of acquired merit."

The seven gourds that grew from the innate gourd vine were all top-tier innate spiritual treasures, but when they came into its own hands, they became top-tier acquired merit treasures.

This is all due to merit. No matter how profound the merit of the primordial world may be, it is still something acquired after the creation of heaven and earth.

Therefore, even if it is an innate spiritual treasure, once it is infused with merit, it will only be transformed into an acquired merit treasure, rather than an innate merit spiritual treasure.

The innate merits and spiritual treasures of the primordial world are collectively known as the treasures of creation, because these innate merits only appeared once in the primordial world, when the great god Pangu perished and his physical body transformed into all things. They were distributed among his descendants and a host of magical treasures.

Therefore, those descendants of Pangu who received the merit of creating the world are revered as the true lineage of Pangu. And those treasures of Pangu that received the merit of creating the world are revered as the treasures of creation.

"Gaining the merit of creating humans may not be a bad thing. Perhaps, in the future, the innate gourd vine will need the help of these merits to regain its vitality."

Jiang Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with the innate gourd vine gaining acquired merit; on the contrary, he only saw the benefits.

The profound mystery of merit is well known throughout the primordial world. It contains the origin of the Heavenly Dao, which is the purest and most primordial source of creation, capable of turning decay into wonder.

The gourd vine has suffered such severe damage that it will likely need its assistance to repair its original condition and restore its vitality.

"Three Lights Divine Water, wash me clean!"

Jiang Yuan summoned the Myriad Stars Pot and released the Three Lights Divine Water within, continuously washing over the Creation Whip in an attempt to awaken its vitality.

However, he washed it for a full ten years. The creative energy emanating from the Three Lights Divine Water had already spawned a large area of ​​innate spiritual herbs nearby, but the Creation Whip still showed no reaction, as if it had truly lost all vitality.

"This shouldn't be happening!"

Jiang Yuan didn't think his speculation was wrong, but the Creation Whip really didn't react. In the end, after thinking it over, he could only attribute the problem to the Three Lights Divine Water.

Although the Three Lights Divine Water is good, it is ultimately only one of the Ten Great Divine Waters of the Primordial Era, and its power is not enough to revive the Creation Whip.

To accomplish this, we need to find more innate divine water, ideally all ten of them, and mix them together to create the first divine water.
