Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 152 Wanbao Pavilion, Distribution of Profits in the Purple Mansion

The Purple Mansion Conference is still ongoing. Donghua's goal is not only to introduce five types of coins, but also to seize all the wealth and treasures in the world.

He intends to unleash an invisible currency war across the primordial world, and he wants to spread the five types of currency from the Purple Mansion throughout the primordial world.

Whether it's the myriad races, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, or the Earthly Court of the Witch Race, they all use the currency produced by the Purple Mansion.

And the victor in this monetary and financial war will only be him, and can only be him.

Because he was born with an invincible position!

Even if other forces imitate the Purple Mansion Coins, as long as they trade, wealth and fortune will be transmitted through the Falling Treasure Coins, regardless of who created the coins.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of the Treasure Drop Coin; its use in combat is limited to surprise attacks.

For true masters, it's nothing.

Because if it hadn't been a surprise attack last time, Lu Ya's magical treasure would never have been able to land.

Because those who reach the peak of Quasi-Saint are all top figures in their respective paths, capable of suppressing all other paths. No matter how powerful the Path of Trade is, isn't it still just one of the myriad paths?

Therefore, the title of "treasure of wealth" is well-deserved!

This monetary and financial war began with the establishment of banks.

"My intention is to establish the Purple Mansion Treasure Pavilion throughout the primordial world. The Treasure Pavilion will not participate in any disputes between races, but will only engage in currency exchange. The Treasure Pavilion will sell and buy treasures from all over the world. All transactions must be conducted using currency produced by the Purple Mansion. What do you all think?"

Wanbaoge is the revamped bank that Donghua mentioned, after all, it is a prehistoric world of cultivators, and it needs to be suitable for the prehistoric situation.

Everyone was shocked to hear Donghua's words, because they never expected this.

But after the initial shock came endless worry, since the Purple Mansion's main base was only in the East Sea and couldn't affect the prehistoric world.

If we were to establish Wanbaoge (a type of security agency) in various locations, security would certainly not be guaranteed, and we might end up losing both our money and our lives.

But everyone just looked at each other, and not a single person dared to stand up and object.

At this moment, the Grand Master of Fate, Emperor Qinghua, stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, is it appropriate to establish Myriad Treasure Pavilions throughout the primordial world? After all, the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court are eyeing us covetously, and the Witch Clan's attitude towards us is still unknown. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider!"

After the Grand Master of Fate finished speaking, everyone began to speak, pointing out the drawbacks and the fact that the speech was inappropriate.

Donghua just smiled after hearing this, and wasn't angry, after all, it was a meeting in the Purple Palace.

When it comes to deliberation, it's about discussion among everyone. If it were a one-man show, he would have just given the orders directly. Why would he need to argue with everyone here?

"I understand your reasons for opposing this. To sum it up, there are two reasons: first, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race is eyeing us covetously, and it is not advisable to launch a major attack at this time; second, the Purple Mansion's influence has not extended to the Primordial Continent, and the safety of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion cannot be guaranteed."

Donghua summarized the reasons for everyone's opposition, and then said, "I have a different opinion on these two points!"

"At this moment, the Heavenly Court urgently needs a victory to wash away the shadow of the defeat in the last Lich War, and it also urgently needs a large amount of fortune to enhance its strength. Our Purple Mansion meets all these requirements, so this battle is no longer subject to human intervention."

At this point, Donghua couldn't help but glance at Taiyuan, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although what he said was the main reason, these guys' backstabbing also deserved some credit.

When Taiyuan saw Donghua looking at him, he straightened his head and puffed out his chest, looking as if he were listening to a sacred instruction.

It's truly a love-hate relationship!

"Therefore, whether or not the Wanbao Pavilion is built is irrelevant to the overall situation, and whether or not the Wanbao Pavilion is widely spread throughout the prehistoric world will not affect the course of the war."

"If we win this battle, the Purple Mansion can expand its territory again with the momentum of the war, and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion can also provide the Purple Mansion with a continuous stream of treasures after the war."

"If we lose this battle..."

At this point, Donghua paused, looked at everyone, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "If we lose, even the Purple Mansion will cease to exist. What importance will the Myriad Treasures Pavilion have then?"

After hearing this, everyone discussed it and agreed that it made sense.

He then bowed and said, "Your Majesty's vision is far-sighted; we are no match for it!"

Donghua gestured and continued, "As for the security issue, what you said makes sense. If Wanbaoge wants to spread throughout the prehistoric world, this cannot be done in a short period of time."

"This process may take tens of thousands of years, a moment, a single coin, or several coin periods of time, or it may never be possible, but all of this requires the efforts of everyone present."

Taiyuan immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I will certainly follow in your footsteps, forging ahead bravely and without ceasing!"

"We are willing to follow Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua was overjoyed and immediately said, "Good, good, good! I am very pleased!"

"In that case, let us each establish a Myriad Treasures Pavilion in the east, west, south, north, and center of the primordial world."

"The Southern Continent is led by the Fire Palace, with the Phoenix Clan in charge!"

Qingxuan stepped forward and said, "I accept the order!"

"The eastern part of the primordial world is led by the Thirty-Five Divisions, with the Dragon Clan in charge!"

The Grand Master of Fate and the Candle Dragon stepped forward simultaneously and said, "We obey!"

"In the central part of the primordial wilderness, the Fighting Tribe is in charge, with the Iron-Eating Beasts and the Giants also responsible!"

"The western wilderness is dominated by the Thunder Clan!"

"The northern part of the primordial wilderness is dominated by the Water Palace!"

After everyone received their orders, the profits from this distribution were finally completed.

Don't be fooled by how simple Donghua's words are; they must encompass all the forces and subordinates of the Purple Mansion.

As the head of a region, you may have your own selfish desires and preferences, but you must be fair and just in terms of rewards and punishments and matters of right and wrong, at least on the surface.

Otherwise, this power will not last long, because no one will be willing to risk their life for you for nothing, especially since this is the primordial world, a world where great power belongs to oneself.

Of course, there are always exceptions to everything. For example, like-minded people value not interests, but their shared aspirations and principles.

Therefore, we should treat different people differently!

After the allocation was completed, Donghua said again: "The Zifu will establish the Wanbaoge headquarters, with Shao Siming Taihua as the first pavilion master, who will directly obey my orders."

Shao Siming stepped forward to accept the order.

"Another deputy pavilion master will be appointed to handle daily affairs. Randeng will leave the Thunder Department and become the deputy pavilion master, reporting to the pavilion master and the main body!"

Ran Deng excitedly stepped forward and loudly proclaimed, "Your subject obeys!"

Great joy has fallen from the heavens! Great joy has fallen from the heavens!

The lamp-burner was overjoyed, his happiness evident on his face.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's just the deputy pavilion master. Looking at the setup, it's clear that the pavilion master, Shao Siming, is just a figurehead, and the real person in charge is Randeng.

Such immense wealth and honor—how could one not be overjoyed? How could one not be overjoyed!

And that was indeed Donghua's true meaning. The Wanbao Pavilion was of great importance, and it would be impossible without the presence of a Quasi-Saint Emperor.

Moreover, Shao Siming Taihua is a primordial deity in charge of fortune and prosperity, and naturally needs this fortune, so only nominal appointment is required.

The true person in charge is Ran Deng!

Donghua never doubted his ability to light lamps.

Because you can call him shameless, you can call him despicable, but you absolutely cannot say that Ran Deng is incompetent.

How could someone who can serve as CEO of two listed companies be incompetent!

……

During this period, the Purple Mansion seemed to be enveloped in a sense of joy, with smiles on everyone's faces.

Even the solemn military drills couldn't conceal the joy of the crowd.

With the introduction of the five currencies, Donghua won over the hearts of everyone in the Purple Mansion, uniting them all, because they saw a thriving Purple Mansion, a rising behemoth.

How could I not be happy!

The establishment of the Purple Mansion Treasure Pavilion is progressing rapidly, with Donghua personally overseeing the project, creating a grotto-heaven world as the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion.

They then gathered all the Great Luo Quasi-Saints in the Purple Mansion and began refining four kinds of coins day and night.

As for spirit coins, they can be made by people at the Taiyi realm, so there's no need to waste the manpower of the Daluo realm.

After hundreds of years of refining, the Purple Mansion has accumulated countless coins, and Donghua himself has gained less merit. Moreover, this was achieved by using the merit of everyone in the Purple Mansion.

However, no one complained. On the contrary, they were eager for Donghua to use his merits more, since when the coins were widely circulated throughout the world, the Heavenly Dao would naturally bestow Xuanhuang merits and fortunes.

The more you put in today, the more you'll get in tomorrow—everyone can figure that out.

"Looks like I need to accumulate more merit!"

You only realize how little you know when you need it. Donghua used to think he had done a lot of good deeds, but now he suddenly feels so poor.

However, upon closer examination, there seems to be no quick way to accumulate merit.

After all, it is very difficult to obtain merit. For example, when Donghua created the Primordial Eight Trigrams Great Dao, Heaven and Earth immediately bestowed Xuanhuang merit, but this was a one-time thing.

To gain merit through the Eight Trigrams, one must spread the Eight Trigrams throughout the world. Only when there are many practitioners will a continuous stream of fortune and merit be bestowed.

The only way to gain merit is to gain the approval of Heaven and Earth.

As Donghua thought of this, he suddenly remembered something funny: it was often said in later generations that the three ancestors of the human race could gain merit by drilling wood to make fire, building houses, and making clothes.

From Donghua's perspective today, this is a huge joke.

Let alone the fact that the human race was not the main force of heaven and earth at that time, even if they were, they could not gain merit from these three things. At most, it would just be the human race's fortune.

If accumulating merit were so easy, where would you place those who cultivate the Great Dao of Fire in the primordial world today?

Where would you place the current god of fire, Zhu Rong?

So this is simply impossible!

Moreover, even if the Three Pure Ones and others in later generations established their religions and became saints, it wasn't by simply shouting that they were establishing a religion that they could receive divine merit and become saints.

Instead, you must first spread your teachings far and wide, enlighten the people, and then establish your religion. Only then will merit descend upon you.

Instead of establishing a religion first and then preaching and educating people!

If Heaven were so easily fooled, and if shouting a command could earn merit, Donghua would have already shouted to establish a sect and earn merit. After all, even without the merit of becoming a saint, he would at least receive some.

So shouting out a sentence really has no merit, even if you are one of the Three Pure Ones.

Heaven is not so easily deceived!

Unless you are Hongjun, after all, Hongjun is also heaven, so it's still somewhat plausible for you to deceive yourself.

Knowing is easy, doing is hard. You must take action first to accumulate merit. The order of priority cannot be reversed.

Therefore, accumulating merit is not so easy!

……

P.S.: This is just my own understanding of merit. I wonder if everyone is satisfied with this setting? Feel free to leave a comment!

Finally, I'm asking for your monthly votes and recommendation votes!
