Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

A golden pillar of light suddenly surged from the depths of the Netherworld.

Even Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback, and then couldn't hide his surprise and delight:

"Golden light of merit!"

"It's actually the golden light of the Great Dao's merits!"

A golden beam of light pierced through the entire Buzhou Mountain from below, soaring straight into the heavens and painting the entire primordial world with a golden hue!

Such a dramatic change naturally attracted the attention and perception of all living beings in the primordial world, as well as moved a host of demon gods.

"Why is it Buzhou Mountain again?"

The Yin-Yang Ancestor gazed towards Mount Buzhou, his lips twitching violently involuntarily.

"This must still be because of Zhen Yuanzi!"

"Has he grown up on Buzhou Mountain? Instead of returning to his own dojo, what's he up to on Buzhou Mountain... ugh~"

"This golden light is not the merit of ordinary virtues, but the merit of the Great Dao!"

"Great merit? How is that possible?"

Hongjun stood at the foot of Mount Kunlun, his joy at the prospect of meeting his disciple just beginning to show. However, his old brows furrowed deeply at the appearance of this golden light.

"Hasn't the Great Dao already retreated into seclusion? How can the merits of the Great Dao still manifest?"

"It still came from that terrifying depths of the netherworld!"

"No! This is not only the merit of the Great Dao, but also the merit of the Great Dao of Creation!"

"impossible!"

Rahu, wielding his god-slaying spear, suddenly rose from Mount Sumeru, his crimson eyes filled with disbelief.

"The Great Dao has already retreated, and Pangu has long since created the world. How could the merit of the Great Dao's creation of the world possibly appear now? Unless it is..."

"One-tenth of the merit from the Great Dao of Creation!"

"This comes from one of those two treasures!"

The merit of creation is the merit bestowed by the Great Dao after the Great God Pangu created the world.

He bestowed upon Pangu three strands of his primordial spirit and twelve drops of his essence blood, as well as two supreme treasures formed from the primordial and yellow energies!

They are respectively named: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and Primordial Measuring Ruler!

Then it is obvious where this one-tenth of the merit of opening the heavens came from!

The myriad spirits of the primordial world and the chaotic demons suddenly realized the truth, and then a great uproar ensued.

"Another priceless treasure has been discovered!"

"So, has Patriarch Zhenyuan obtained yet another supreme treasure?"

"He first obtained the merit of the Great Dao to upgrade two spiritual treasures into supreme treasures, then found another supreme treasure, and just a few eons ago he had acquired eight top-grade merit spiritual treasures, and now he has actually obtained another supreme treasure?"

"Why? Why is this happening?"

"I searched for countless eons before finally obtaining a mid-grade spiritual treasure, but... I'm suffering! It's so painful!"

"Why did this supreme treasure appear on its own initiative? And why did it appear at the very bottom of the Nine Netherworlds?"

"It must come from the power of the earth!"

"It's a tunnel!"

Amidst the complex voices of envy, longing, jealousy, and complaints from all the primordial beings and chaotic demons,

Within the golden pillar of merit that burst forth from the depths of the Netherworld, a ruler entirely of dark purple had been fully revealed!

The patterns on the top of this ruler are the golden patterns of creation, reflecting the veins of the primordial mountains and rivers and the trajectory of the stars!

This treasure is none other than: The Primordial Measuring Ruler, a supreme treasure of acquired merit!

The Primordial Measuring Ruler was formed from the primordial energy of Xuanhuang combined with the merits of the creation of the world.

It possesses top-tier killing power, is unaffected by cause and effect, karma, or reincarnation, and can solidify one's foundation and suppress destiny!

"Zhen Yuanzi!"

When the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth sensed the aura of the Primordial Measuring Ruler, he couldn't help but roar in anger as he held the ruler in his hand:

"A treasure of merit earned through good deeds! This treasure rightfully belongs to me!"

"Why, why is he still appearing at Buzhou Mountain? Why does he still belong to Zhen Yuanzi?"

"Heaven's will! This is an injustice against the world!"

The Way of Heaven...remains silent.

They made no move whatsoever, and paid no heed to anything.

On the contrary, Qiankun's actions made them even more disappointed in him.

Incompetence and rage!

Is it unfair?

Even the Heavenly Dao, which had long been awakened, did not know that the Primordial Measuring Ruler was previously located at the bottom of the Nine Netherworlds. How could its younger brother, the Earthly Dao, which had only recently awakened, possibly know this?

Where is it located? How can the underground passage be unfair? How can it help Zhen Yuanzi obtain this treasure with selfish motives?

You need evidence to file a complaint!

Without evidence, it has no way to complain to the authorities!

The sudden appearance of the Primordial Measuring Ruler shocked not only all the myriad beings of the primordial world and the chaotic demons, but even Zhen Yuanzi was extremely shocked.

You should know that this treasure disappeared after Pangu created the world!

Unlike the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, which coexisted with Pangu's primordial spirit, no living being knew where it was.

Even the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao cannot perceive it!

After becoming the master of the underground world, Zhen Yuanzi once used the power of the underground world to try to find this treasure, but he found no trace of it!

It's safe to say that without a cheat code or special abilities, obtaining this treasure of acquired merit would be absolutely impossible!

If even the Heavenly Way and the Earthly Way cannot be perceived, there can only be one conclusion.

That is the Primordial Measuring Ruler, which has been concealed by the Great Dao of Perfect Justice!

Only the Great Dao can transcend the primordial world and remain beyond its reach!

The greatest truths are impartial and selfless.

Pangu's three strands of primordial spirit obtained three-tenths of the merit of creating the world, which was accompanied by the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.

The twelve drops of Pangu's essence blood, which also received 30% of the merit of the creation of the world, should naturally be accompanied by the Primordial Measuring Ruler!

However, the twelve drops of essence blood have no primordial spirit, and without a primordial spirit, one cannot refine or use magical treasures!

Since the twelve drops of essence blood cannot be used, the impartial Great Dao will naturally not allow other innate beings or chaotic demons in the prehistoric world who do not have the merit of creating the world to find and use this treasure!

That's why it will be eternally preserved at the bottom of the Netherworld!

Now, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler has taken the initiative to appear in the world. The reason is naturally due to the impartiality of the Great Dao. The Ancestral Witch Houtu, whose essence and blood have taken form, has cultivated her primordial spirit!

The most precious treasure has been born; the Dharma treasure will naturally seek its master!

Zhen Yuanzi understood this reason, but the other living beings were unaware of it.

In addition to the Old Ancestor of Heaven and Earth, who loudly proclaimed the injustice of the Earthly Way, there were also the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, who also loudly proclaimed the injustice of the Earthly Way!

Zhen Yuanzi already has so many treasures, but they don't even have one!

Isn't this utterly unfair?

Isn't this a betrayal of the Great Way?

Many of the myriad beings in the primordial world also harbored this thought, but dared not utter it out of fear and trepidation towards the Lord of the Earth.

Just when all living beings thought that the Primordial Measuring Ruler, this supreme treasure, would be delivered to Zhen Yuanzi through the underground passage,

It suddenly transformed into a golden light and landed swiftly on Houtu Ancestral Witch's sling!

The moment the Primordial Measuring Ruler landed in her palm, a vast power of merit surged into Houtu's sea of ​​consciousness, perfectly matching her newly cultivated primordial spirit!

Even the fortune of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is more prosperous than before!

Houtu felt a surge of joy, realizing this was her most precious treasure, and her beautiful eyes immediately revealed an undisguised delight.

But the next moment, her eyebrows suddenly furrowed, as if she had realized something.

She quickly held the precious treasure in both hands and bowed to the empty space on the prayer mat above:

"Teacher, your disciple wishes to offer this treasure to..."

"Little Houtu, I am very pleased that you have this intention, but..."

A gentle yet authoritative voice suddenly descended from above, interrupting Houtu's words.

"This treasure has been destined for you since its birth; it was meant to be your lifelong companion."

"All of you ancestral witches must know that after the Great God Pangu created the world, he had two treasures that brought him merit in creating the world. One of them is this treasure... The other is a precious treasure that was born with a wisp of the Great God Pangu's primordial spirit..."

"Just as the primordial spirit can be accompanied by a supreme treasure, so too should the essence and blood essence possess a supreme treasure!"

"If you hadn't lacked a primordial spirit before, this treasure wouldn't have remained hidden in the Nine Netherworlds until you cultivated your primordial spirit and it has now been revealed to the world. You may accept it yourself."

"This disciple thanks the teacher for clearing up my doubts and for bestowing this treasure." Upon hearing this, Houtu was relieved and quickly bowed in gratitude.

A gift of treasure?

Indeed, without Zhen Yuanzi, the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler would never have been born.

Even if she is reborn in the future, it will be because Houtu's primordial spirit was plotted against by the Heavenly Dao and trapped in the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld.

At that time, this treasure could only be hidden from the world like the earth.

Zhen Yuanzi gazed at the sensible, perceptive, eloquent, and filial Houtu from afar, and felt an overwhelming fondness and affection for her.

Since she says she'll bestow a treasure, then let her bestow it upon me!

At that moment, Zhen Yuanzi boldly waved his sleeves.

As the white light flashed, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure appeared before Houtu's eyes!
