Chapter 72 Cunning, wisdom, and foolishness!

As Jiang Sheng imbued each item with true meaning, the laws of heaven and earth gradually became complete, and a smile involuntarily crept onto Jiang Sheng's lips.

Jiang Sheng used to feel empty in the world, but now he feels full.

Everything here was created by things from the primordial wilderness.

From this point on, this Xuandu Small World can finally be called the Primordial Branch Office.

As the world began to turn and evolve in an orderly manner, Jiang Sheng could feel a trace of the primordial Heavenly Dao wandering within the world!

Although the aura of the Heavenly Dao is very weak, it is indeed present.

As long as there is the aura of the Heavenly Dao, then this small world is a derivative small world of the Primordial World, under the jurisdiction of the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao.

Even if Jiang Sheng attains the Great Luo realm in this small world, he will still be a Great Luo realm expert in the primordial world.

A branch manager doesn't have a position at head office?

Obviously not.

Moreover, this Xuandu Small World was originally created for the purpose of achieving enlightenment and attaining the Great Luo Dao through alternative means.

Now, it's finally finished...

However, the completion time was longer than he had imagined...

century!

It took him a full century to roughly complete the laws governing this small world.

Yes, it's just a rough completion.

There are simply too many laws; the so-called Three Thousand Great Daos are not just three thousand great Daos.

Three thousand represents an infinite series, which represents infinity.

New laws will emerge from the existing laws.

Between different paths, new paths will emerge.

It's impossible to complete; no one can do it.

All Jiang Sheng can do is complete the most basic parts; as for the rest, let the derived laws and principles evolve on their own!

In fact, when the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World gradually appeared in the Xuandu Small World, it meant that Jiang Sheng had succeeded!

The framework is all set up, so can't the content just be filled in arbitrarily?

As for whether Hongjun will extend his reach into the Xuandu Small World?

Maybe, but definitely not right now.

Jiang Sheng could sense that his physical body was ready to break through at any moment.

This means that Hongjun did not interfere with the Xuandu Small World.

"Old Deng, what are you thinking?" Jiang Sheng's gaze was deep as he stared at the prehistoric world.

At this moment, the primordial world was very far away from him; as far as the eye could see, the primordial world had become just a small dot of light.

It's easy to imagine how far Jiang Sheng is from the primordial world.

But so what if it's far?

Being far from the primordial world only means that they bypassed Hongjun's suppression, not that Hongjun was unaware of it!

Hongjun was, after all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and a complete one at that, at his peak.

Such a Great Immortal, who can see the future, isn't it just like reading the lines on the palm of his hand?

If Jiang Sheng succeeds in attaining enlightenment, Hongjun will surely be able to see several Great Luo Golden Immortals emerge from the chaos in the future, and then engage in a great battle with him.

To trace the origins of these Great Immortals, one need to look at history.

Look at Lao Tzu, look at his projection.

You can see that over a certain period of time, both Lao Tzu and his projections were frantically collecting all sorts of things and then sending them away.

If we calculate it again, the result will be clear, right?

Even knowing everything, Hongjun remained unmoved.

What is he thinking?

"Dao Ancestor, you seem troubled by something? I wonder if I could share your worries?" At this moment, a cautious voice sounded beside Jiang Sheng.

Immediately, a flash of gray light appeared, and a monkey with a gray robe, a pointed snout, monkey cheeks, and a hairy face appeared beside Jiang Sheng.

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with cunning, a fawning smile on his face, and looked at Jiang Sheng with a look of utter ingratiation.

Jiang Sheng glanced at the monkey and said calmly, "Don't call me Dao Ancestor!"

"You are the creator god, so shall we call you the ancestral god?" the monkey said with a fawning smile, his face full of flattery.

"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't call me the Dao Ancestor!"

Jiang Sheng pursed his lips, then gently raised his hand to stroke the monkey's head, and laughed, "As a cunning person, can you help me analyze what that old Deng is thinking?"

The monkey cooperated with a comfortable expression, and only after Jiang Sheng finished asking did it cautiously inquire, "Which 'Old Deng' did the Ancestral God mention? And why is he causing the Ancestral God trouble?"

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "If you were omniscient and omnipotent, but someone else also wanted to prove their own omniscience and omnipotence, and thus challenge your position, what would you do?"

The monkey, looking panicked, quickly stood up: "Ancestral God, this humble god had no intention of challenging you. You will always be the Ancestral God, an existence we all look up to. We absolutely had no such intention!"

"Put away your cunning in front of me. All you need to do is answer my questions!" Jiang Sheng said calmly.

The monkey chuckled sheepishly, thought for a moment, and then asked curiously, "Ancestral God, what does this omniscience and omnipotence encompass?"

"Omniscient and omnipotent means encompassing everything, knowing everything, and being able to do everything, even the past and the future, as clear as the lines on the palm of one's hand! Immortal and indestructible, eternally immortal!" Jiang Sheng replied.

"Immortal and indestructible, eternally immortal?"

The monkey thought for a moment, then lowered its head and replied, "Then I will travel through time and nip the enemy in the bud before he grows strong!"

"But you didn't do that!"

Jiang Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Given your cunning, what would you think?"

"Wasn't it nipped in the bud?"

A thoughtful look appeared in the monkey's eyes, a cunning glint flashing within them. Suddenly, it said, "Then let's wait until the enemy grows stronger, and then suppress them with overwhelming force, making an example of them!"

"Um……"

Jiang Sheng nodded, then asked, "Anything else?"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed the monkey's eyes: "When he attains enlightenment, we'll adulterate his path, making him prove a false path, never to attain the true one. Then we'll tell him the truth, causing his faith to crumble and him to suffer eternal torment! This is the price of challenging omniscience and omnipotence!"

Jiang Sheng remained silent.

After a long pause, she asked softly, "Is there anything else?"

"Um……"

The monkey's expression gradually contorted as it struggled to think. Finally, it gave up and said sheepishly, "While I am cunning, I am truly lacking in wisdom. Why don't you summon Wisdom, Ancestral God? I believe Wisdom can certainly help you!"

"Cunning!" Jiang Sheng patted the monkey's head lightly, finding it somewhat amusing.

"Cunning is in my nature!" the monkey said with a shy smile.

"Alright..."

Jiang Sheng didn't press the monkey, looking ahead and saying calmly, "Wisdom, what do you think?"

"Splash..."

In the distance, on a treetop, a crow flapped its wings and flew, landing in front of Jiang Sheng in the blink of an eye. Then, it transformed into a graceful figure draped in a long black gauze dress.

Her face was beautiful, but with a hint of coldness.

She has a slender figure with a graceful air.

She first bowed to Jiang Sheng, then said softly, "Ancestral God, I believe that the reason he, being omniscient and omnipotent, did not immediately annihilate the enemy might be because he was unable to do so?"

"Oh? You can't do it? If you can't do it, then what's the point of calling yourself omniscient and omnipotent?" Jiang Sheng found it somewhat amusing.

Zhihui pursed her lips, then said, "He is omniscient and omnipotent, but that doesn't mean he won't be bound by anything! For example, he might have more important matters at hand right now, requiring his full attention, and he can't attend to anything else! Besides, he might think that once he has free time, he'll have plenty of ways to deal with this enemy. So, what does it matter to him, who is omniscient and omnipotent, sooner or later?"

Jiang Sheng laughed: "Is this your wisdom?"

Wisdom paused, then knelt on one knee, his tone remarkably calm: "Ancestral God, please forgive me. I am but a minor god, possessing only limited wisdom. Even if I exhausted all my wisdom, I could not comprehend even a fraction of what the Omniscient and Omnipotent One is!"

"Alright, step down!" Jiang Sheng shook his head.

"Yes!" Wisdom and cunning bowed respectfully, took two steps back, and gradually dissipated.

As soon as Jiang Shengyi reached out his hand, a silly roe deer appeared beside him.

"I have a task for you!" Jiang Sheng said with a smile, looking at the silly roe deer.

The silly roe deer tilted its head, looking blankly at Jiang Sheng. After a moment, it seemed to understand what Jiang Sheng was saying, and its large and small eyes filled with wisdom: "Dao Ancestor, you're a really good person! I'll definitely use my wisdom to help Dao Ancestor fan the flames!"

"Tsk..."

Jiang Sheng clicked his tongue, patted the silly roe deer's head, and laughed, "I don't need you to stir things up. Now, I'm promoting you to the head office for further training. The Foolish Path at head office is still vacant. Your task is to absorb the Foolish Path of the Primordial World and take control. Can you do it?"

"That's great! Thank you, Dao Ancestor! Thank you, Dao Ancestor! I will definitely do my best. When it comes to stupidity, no one is more stupid than me. I am the smartest stupidity!" The silly roe deer's simple and honest face was full of bright smiles, as happy as a child.

"Then, Dao Ancestor, when shall we set off?" The silly roe deer looked at Jiang Sheng, somewhat impatient.

"Don't rush!"

Jiang Sheng smiled: "Since you're going to the head office for further training, you can't go without a name!"

Upon hearing this, the silly roe deer's expression immediately fell saddened: "Yes, I don't have a name!"

Then, it looked anxious: "Dao Ancestor, I have no name! What can I do without a name? Dao Ancestor, please think of a way! What can I do without a name?"

Yes, he has truly inherited the essence of stupidity; he is the epitome of stupidity!

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not a big deal if you don't have a name. I'll give you one!"

"Huh? You can still give me a name?" The silly roe deer's eyes widened in disbelief, as if to say, "There's actually such a thing?"

"As an ancestral god, can't I bestow upon you a true name?" Jiang Sheng said with some amusement.

"Yes, yes..."

The silly roe deer was overjoyed: "Dao Ancestor, you are so clever! I had no name, yet you thought of giving me one! I never imagined you were so wise! Dao Ancestor is so good to me!"

Jiang Sheng smiled but remained silent.

The silly roe deer asked hopefully, "Then, Dao Ancestor, what should I call myself? It has to be something powerful, something that sounds really strong!"

"That sounds amazing! I'll have to think about it!" Jiang Sheng nodded.

The silly roe deer looked hopeful, its eyes shining even brighter.

One second, two seconds...

The silly roe deer was still looking at Jiang Sheng.

One minute, two minutes...

The silly roe deer was still looking at Jiang Sheng.

The longer he waited, the more excited he became.

That means the Dao Ancestor was thinking of a very powerful name for him.

Finally, Jiang Sheng raised his head.

The silly roe deer was excited.

Then, Jiang Sheng chuckled softly, "From now on, your real name will be Hongjun!"
