I've Been AFK for Ten Million Years-Chapter 313: Daode Tianzun Achieves Sagehood

"Nuwa, what do you think?"

Hong Jun Dao Zu’s voice was deep as he asked Nuwa. Among those present, aside from him, Nuwa had accrued the most merit.

Nuwa created humanity, and in addition to opening the heavens, she also had ties with the human race. She was entitled to a share of the humans’ merits, and now Nuwa was nearing the mid-stage of being a Saint.

Her own merit.

No matter what, Hong Jun Dao Zu would not share it with Daode Tianzun. Allowing Nuwa to give up one percent of her merit seemed small, but in reality, it was more than what Tong Tian Sect Hierarch and Yuanshi Tianzun could muster with their combined three percent.

"Agreed!"

Nuwa nodded. Now that Hong Jun Dao Zu had spoken, she could not object. Moreover, at this moment if she did not agree, it would not matter.

Furthermore.

Originally, Hong Jun Dao Zu had bestowed upon her a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi. She owed a karmic debt, and this merit power would be considered as repaying the karmic debt she owed to Hong Jun Dao Zu.

"Good!"

Hong Jun Dao Zu nodded in satisfaction. Although Nuwa had some connections with humans, according to observations over this period, Nuwa was quite obedient.

"Thank you, Daoist Nuwa!"

Daode Tianzun hurriedly gave thanks. If Nuwa did not lend a hand, even with the merits from Tong Tian Sect Hierarch and Yuanshi Tianzun, sanctification would be difficult for him.

"No harm!"

Nuwa looked calm and undisturbed. It was Hong Jun who asked her to contribute merit. Daode Tianzun owed her nothing, and she herself had repaid the karmic debt to Hong Jun Dao Zu.

"Alright, all of you present your merits, let Daode Tianzun be sanctified!"

Hong Jun Dao Zu spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

All three agreed. However, the two Jie Yin had some dissatisfaction at this moment. Pan Gu and The Three Pure Ones, such a small amount of merit, and still, one receives aid in sanctification. When they think of their own ascension in that barren land and being brutally beaten, how bitter it feels.

"Merit, come forth!"

Tong Tian Sect Hierarch gave a cold shout, and in the next moment, a mass of merit appeared above his head. As the merit emerged, Tong Tian Sect Hierarch’s aura suddenly dropped by thirty percent. His cultivation, originally at the early stage of a Saint, began to fluctuate.

It seemed as if the next moment, he would fall from his realm.

"The power of creation, suppress!"

"Boom!"

A flash of brilliance in Hong Jun Dao Zu’s eyes, he then hurriedly activated the Creation Butterfly, suppressing it upon Tong Tian Sect Hierarch. With the power of creation descending, Tong Tian Sect Hierarch’s aura began to slowly stabilize.

"It’s fine now!"

Tong Tian Sect Hierarch secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that his cultivation did not fall from the saintly realm, otherwise, it would be a laughing matter.

"Thank you, younger brother!"

Daode Tianzun gave a bow to the Tong Tian Sect Hierarch, then without any hesitation, absorbed the merit into his body to start refining this ball of merit.

"Yuanshi, you also bring out your merit!"

Hong Jun Dao Zu said coldly.

"Yes!"

Even if Yuanshi Tianzun was somewhat unwilling, at this moment he had no choice but to bring it out, and since Pan Gu and The Three Pure Ones always stood together, if Daode Tianzun did not become a Saint, it would be awkward for them.

"Merit, come forth!"

Yuanshi Tianzun likewise brought out his merit power, and like Tong Tian, Yuanshi Tianzun’s cultivation also started to fluctuate. The Creation Butterfly took action again, stabilizing Yuanshi Tianzun’s saintly cultivation, and without delay, Daode Tianzun absorbed this group of merits.

"Humming!"

Above Daode Tianzun’s head at this moment, a strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi appeared, already half-refined. There was still a far distance from complete refinement.

"Nuwa!"

Daode Tianzun looked eagerly at Nuwa; it all depended on her now. Nuwa’s one-tenth share of merit could compare with the combined total of the two Sect Hierarchs, sufficing to completely refine Daode Tianzun’s Hongmeng Purple Qi, thereby achieving sainthood.

"Merit, come forth!"

Nuwa waved her hand, and a mass of merit appeared. This mass of merit was not small; upon seeing it, the eyes of the two Sect Hierarchs instantly reddened.

"Buzzing!"

As the merit emerged, the aura around Nuwa did not decrease by much.

"What profound merit!"

The two Sect Hierarchs felt a tinge of envy in their hearts; truly worthy of being related to the human race, the robustness of this merit was significant, and it was likely that before long, Nuwa could ascend to the middle phase of sainthood.

At the main seat.

At this moment, Hong Jun Dao Zu secretly felt a bit shocked. According to his calculations, with the emergence of the six saints of the primordial chaos, they were all to be the weakest of saints, without the need for advancement to the middle phase of sainthood—after all, these six were merely pawns.

Stronger saints are harder to control.

However, fortunately, Nuwa had not yet reached the middle phase of sainthood. Compared with his own late phase of sainthood, the difference was quite vast.

"Many thanks to Daoist Nuwa!"

Daode Tianzun saw the mass of merit and joy instantly filled his eyes; he immediately absorbed the merit into his body, and Daode Tianzun quickly sat down cross-legged.

"He’s definitely got enough for sainthood!"

Watching as the Hongmeng Purple Qi above Daode Tianzun’s head began to be fully refined, Hong Jun Dao Zu nodded in satisfaction, and the two Sect Hierarchs also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Daode Tianzun was finally going to become a saint.

Atop Mount Tai.

"Brother Changsheng, it seems that Hong Jun Dao Zu has been pushed to the limits by your human race, prompting him to allow Daode Tianzun to establish a religion in the minor world. While the merit from establishing the religion might be small, it seems likely that Hong Jun will have other saints cede their merit to allow Daode Tianzun to ascend to sainthood!"

Listening to Yang Mei Ancestor speak in a somber tone, Ren Changsheng replied indifferently.

"So what?"

Having encountered the saints from the chaos, Ren Changsheng’s disdain for the likes of Hong Jun grew even more. So what if one becomes a saint? The most worthless Merit Saint, the human race has nothing to fear now!

"Once Daode Tianzun becomes a saint, then the six saints decreed by the Heavenly Dao will have all emerged, making the Heavenly Dao complete, and Hong Jun’s own ascension is probably imminent!"

Yang Mei Ancestor spoke up again.

"Ascension? That’s exactly what I want him to do!"

Ren Changsheng thought to himself, if not for allowing Hong Jun to ascend before killing him, if not for fattening up Hong Jun Dao Zu first, Ren Changsheng would have slain him long ago.

A late-phase Merit Saint, what does that amount to?

"Little brother Yang Mei, you continue preaching, and leave me a few hours at the end, with the merit from this preaching session, becoming a Heavenly Dao saint for you will not be difficult!"

Ren Changsheng said smilingly to Yang Mei Ancestor.

"Many thanks, big brother!"

In his heart, Yang Mei Ancestor held immense respect for Ren Changsheng. This merit was sufficient for his inner world to generate nine Venerable Sages, and when it was time for him to confirm his status as a Heavenly Dao saint, most of the path would have been completed.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi belonged to Ren Changsheng, and so did the merit; thus, what he owed Ren Changsheng was even greater now.

"No need to be polite, little brother!"

Ren Changsheng replied with a light smile.

In his heart, Ren Changsheng too was exceedingly joyful; once Yang Mei Ancestor finished preaching, the nine Venerable Sages within his inner world would also emerge.

Then, for himself to become a Heavenly Dao saint, it would equally be not difficult.
