Chapter 2: Recreating the Honghuang World
In the hazy Void World, boundless and limitless, Chang Kun's tiny figure appeared exceptionally small and lonely.
However, after creating a world once, Chang Kun's interest had been piqued.
Ding!
System Prompt: Newbie period task reset, Power of Creation reset. Please continue to work hard, Lord, to create a qualified world.
After the previous failure, Chang Kun learned his lesson!
This time, he was more conservative, choosing a Honghuang novel's story as a model and using it as a foundation to create the Honghuang World once again.
First, using 30 points of Power of Creation, he created Chaos, then used 35 points of Power of Creation to create a humanoid being named Pangu, responsible for opening the heavens and earth, and then used his Physical Body to shape the Honghuang World, nurturing all things' Spiritual Roots and Innate Beings.
Finally, spending 5 points of Power of Creation, he let Innate Spiritual Qi flood into the Honghuang World.
This creation was slightly different from the previous method, but the world created was actually no different, and the amount of Power of Creation spent was exactly the same.
Of course, this wasn't over yet.
Chang Kun had learned his lesson; this time, before the Innate Beingswere born, he used 15 points of Power of Creation to create an invisible and formless Heavenly Dao to assist him in controlling the order of the Honghuang World.
Watching the Honghuang World gradually take shape, Chang Kun felt very satisfied. This time he felt very confident that he would definitely be able to complete the newbie period task.
Ding!
System Prompt: The Honghuang World has been created. Please confirm, Lord, whether to start the world!
Hearing the prompt, Chang Kun thought for a moment and decided not to start it yet.
Leaning over to look at the Honghuang World, he felt something was missing.
So, he used 5 points of Power of Creation to create Chaos Supreme Treasures and Innate Spirit Treasures, scattering them throughout the Honghuang World.
Incidentally, he modified some of the Innate Beings that were currently being nurtured.
The Sanqing became robust men with bodies full of bulging muscles, while Fuxi and Nuwa became a pair of sisters with world-toppling beauty; Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun were modified into two Three-legged Crows; the Twelve Ancestral Witches became twelve little dwarves; Old Ancestor Styx became a red eight-legged octopus monster; Zhunti and Jieyin became two turtles... and most importantly, that was naturally Hongjun. Chang Kun especially put a lot of heart into modifying Hongjun significantly!
After his mischievous interests were satisfied, Chang Kun nodded and said, "System, let the Honghuang World start running."
The world began to run!
In the Honghuang World, after a long period of time, the various Innate Beings were born one after another.
This time, with the existence of the Heavenly Dao in the Honghuang World, the Innate Beings were afraid of being tainted by Karma, so they did not dare to act recklessly.
Therefore, for a long time, the Innate Beings appeared honest and well-behaved, those who should Cultivate did so, and those looking for Spirit Treasures looked for them.
Everything was proceeding in a normal direction, and the world was a beautiful place.
However, what was bound to come still came. Even with the Heavenly Dao guarding it, it was still difficult to prevent hatred and conflict from arising among the Innate Beings.
The Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan broke out in a great war that swept across the entire Honghuang.
This was not a good start, so Chang Kun immediately ordered the Heavenly Dao to find a way to resolve this disaster to prevent the Honghuang World from being destroyed.
The Heavenly Dao was indeed very efficient. Invisibly, it guided a large number of Innate Beings to the battlefield to deliver the souls of the dead, turning them into a stream of the purest energy and adding a layer of protection to the Honghuang World, thereby preventing it from shattering.
Seeing this, Chang Kun directly had the Heavenly Dao descend a large amount of Divine Light of Karma to reward these meritorious Innate Beings.
A clear System of rewards and punishments!
Only in this way would the Innate Beings be convinced by the Heavenly Dao and subconsciously believe that the Heavenly Dao was a just and irresistible existence.
Thus, the Heavenly Dao could better manage the Honghuang World.
The war of the three clans ended, and the Honghuang was not destroyed.
Immediately after, a great era arrived—Hongjun became a Saint!
The process was very simple and easy; he didn't even contemplate the fragments of the Good Fortune Jade Plate, because Chang Kun hadn't created that thing at all.
In addition, there was no Luo Hou in the Honghuang World, so Hongjunhad never fought with Luo Hou.
Everything was at Chang Kun's behest and the Heavenly Dao's execution; Hongjun naturally became a Saint!
Within the Honghuang World, a vast pressure soared into the sky and quickly spread out, permeating the entire heaven and earth and weighing on the hearts of all Innate Beings, making them feel extremely stifled.
In the sky, ten thousand auspicious clouds appeared, with thousands of radiant colors.
Visions crisscrossed as thousands of golden lotuses bloomed in the Void Realm and then drifted down like a rain of light; all living beings in the world could sense it.
The divine sounds of the Dao were continuous, the mysterious sounds seemingly condensing into substance.
Suddenly, golden lotuses gushed from the ground, and billowing purple Qi came from the east, stretching across tens of millions of miles of heaven and earth. Within the entire Honghuang World, the Spiritual Qibecame extremely dense.
All living beings received immense benefits. Many flowers, plants, trees, and rare treasures all gained intelligence at this moment, transformed into human forms, faced the east, and knelt on the ground to kowtow!
At the same time, a chant echoed through the Honghuang World from the east.
"High atop the nine-layered clouds, the futon reveals the true Dao. Beyond the yellow and black of heaven and earth, I shall be the supreme master of the teachings."
"My name is Hongjun. I act in accordance with heaven, comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth to achieve the status of a Hunyuan Saint. Three thousand years from now, I will preach the Dao in the Zixiao Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. Any destined beings within the Honghuang may come to listen."
Hongjun's voice was incomparably deep and carried a vast majesty. None of the beings in the Honghuang World failed to feel a sense of awe.
When the voice fell and until it completely disappeared, many beings in the Honghuang World finally came to their senses.
Three thousand years later, the Zixiao Palace would open, and a Saintwould preach!
All living beings yearned for it.
It was at this time that Chang Kun, who was looking down on every movement of the Honghuang World, suddenly heard a System prompt in his ear.
Ding!
System Prompt: An error has occurred in the operation of the Honghuang World, triggering a side mission. Please check, Lord!
"What? An error? Is the Honghuang World going to shatter again!?" Hearing this, Chang Kun's heart couldn't help but tighten.
He quickly clicked on the System interface. The task displayed: Complete the saint position!
Task Content: Since the Honghuang World created by the Lord is based on Honghuang novels, there should be eight Saints under Hongjun's lineage to guard the Honghuang's Luck and thereby protect the Honghuang World from destruction!
However, before this, the Lord did not create the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!
Hongjun never fought with Luo Hou in the West, so the Western Spiritual Veins were perfectly preserved and were not destroyed.
Hongjun does not owe the West, and the Heavenly Dao does not owe the West either. Therefore, the two Innate Beings born in the West, Zhunti and Jieyin, have no opportunity to become Saints.
If the saint positions are vacant, the Innate Beings will fight for them, and the great war is very likely to destroy the Honghuang World!
Task can be abandoned: The Heavenly Dao will naturally operate to complete the saint position, but the Heavenly Dao only recognizes right and wrong and does not care about the human heart's rights and wrongs. As long as an Innate Being possesses great Karma, they can have the opportunity to become a Saint. Therefore, completing the Saints with this method may lead to endless future troubles.
Task can be executed: The Lord needs to personally descend to the Lower Realm to select suitable Innate Beings to complete the saint position. Upon task completion, you will be rewarded with 30 points of Power of Creation.
