Chapter 240 Calamity of All Beings

In the first year of the Era of All Beings,

The world's imperial states, led by the Great Zhen Celestial Dynasty, all chose to join the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

The world's sects, led by the Ten Great Sects, also all chose to merge.

And the myriad non-human spiritual beings, led by the Vast Sea, had long since joined the Myriad Wonders.

From then on, between heaven and earth, there were no longer distinctions of nation, sect, or race.

Some cultivators believed Chen Luo, under the guise of sainthood, was acting as a great thief!

They believed that after forcibly merging all races, nations, and sects, immense hidden dangers would inevitably arise!

Moreover, the root of all conflict was the struggle for resources! If all beings and things in the world could cultivate, then who would become the sustenance?! Who would become the price?!

Chen Luo did not blame those who questioned him, but merely responded with his actions!

"The problem of development will be solved with development!"

"I am the highest cultivator in this world, therefore, I shall be the price for the cultivation of all beings!"

Heaven and earth inhaled the essence of the sun and moon, transforming it into spiritual energy, and absorbed the myriad treasures of the void, forming the bedrock of chaos.

Spiritual energy was the foundation of cultivation, and chaos was the basis of existence for heaven and earth.

However, heaven and earth only inhaled spiritual energy but lacked the subjective means to apply it, causing ninety-nine percent of the spiritual energy to dissipate once more.

Past cultivators often built spirit-gathering methods for themselves within their own sects, domains, or cities.

Spirit gathering meant profit, and no one would casually share profits with unrelated individuals.

After all, the cost of gathering spirits was borne by themselves, and naturally, they were unwilling to benefit others.

The cultivation world was a dark forest, where everyone was an enemy on the path of cultivation!

But Chen Luo completely shattered the taboos of the darkness!

Countless spiritual patterns shone throughout heaven and earth. Chen Luo did not spare his supreme methods, nor his immense consumption, unreservedly transforming the entire world into an exceptional blessed land.

After seven days of saturated spiritual rain, every day, at a fixed time, spiritual rain would descend again from heaven and earth.

And this spiritual rain could be easily absorbed without the need for deliberate refinement.

It could be said that Chen Luo alone was the greatest productive force in the world, but he did not choose to monopolize. Instead, he propelled the entire mortal realm towards a better future!

The cultivators who had originally questioned the lack of resources fell silent.

One month after the Era of All Beings began, all beings in heaven and earth embarked on the path of cultivation!

And any newly born beings, nourished by the spiritual rain, would soon develop spiritual sentience!

However, endless resources, if distributed equally and freely, would only lead to complete laziness.

The cultivators and the beings who gained the qualification to cultivate, having lost war, disaster, and hunger, seemed to have also lost their drive.

The first to notice this problem was Qin Shang, who said to Chen Luo with great worry, "Master, if this continues, all beings in heaven and earth will only become pigs and dogs raised by you!"

"Pigs and dogs that have lost their beastly nature! They will lose everything!"

Chen Luo was currently in the Vast Sea, playing a game of Go with Long Ji.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo placed a black stone and said,

"Don't worry, your master already has a plan."

Looking at the unfathomably profound Chen Luo, although Qin Shang was still astonished by his grand gesture, he remained somewhat worried about what was to come.

After all, the human heart was the most difficult thing to grasp!

Just as Qin Shang was secretly worrying, Chen Luo joyfully called out to Long Ji,

"Long Ji, five in a row! I win!"

*Pfft!* Qin Shang, who was anxiously standing nearby, choked on his words. Looking at Chen Luo teasing his female disciple, he was speechless, unsure where to begin his complaint!

You two are the strongest array masters in the world, and you're playing Gomoku?! Are you kidding me!

However, seeing the shy and bashful Long Ji opposite him, Qin Shang was secretly enraged!

This woman, after regaining her memories and knowing she was still pure, is now pursuing her master! Even if you're her master's disciple, you're still pursuing him?!

And you're so happy playing Gomoku! Are you acting for ghosts?!

Chen Luo casually gathered the black and white stones from the board into the game box. Long Ji, who was helping to tidy up, occasionally brushed against Chen Luo's palm, her face flushing slightly with an almost uncontrollable joy.

This made Qin Shang even more indignant!

Chen Luo coughed lightly, stopping Long Ji's increasingly bold actions under the table, and lightly tapped the air in front of him.

As Chen Luo tapped, unprecedented spiritual patterns spread rapidly from Chen Luo as the origin point towards the entire world:

"Shang'er, don't panic. Your master is playing Gomoku because most of his energy is being used to process new spiritual patterns, not because he wants to fool around with Long Ji!"

Qin Shang remained silent. You are the master, you have the power, and whatever you say is right.

But can you stop calling me Shang'er? It gives me psychological trauma!

From afar, Linglong, carrying tea and snacks, was followed by several young women with cheerful smiles. They were the true disciples from the original Ten Great Sects and the demonesses from the Vast Sea Sect.

Upon seeing Chen Luo, their eyes lit up, and they all cheered "Master!" and were about to rush forward!

Chen Luo flickered, and under Long Ji's reluctant gaze, he pulled Qin Shang and teleported to the high heavens once more:

"Long Ji, help me educate these girls properly! Master cannot be rushed!!"

Long Ji cast a glance in the direction Chen Luo had disappeared, thinking, "You don't want what your disciple offers, hmph, I must see what your fiancée, whom you miss so much, looks like when I have the chance!"

"Mother! Where is Master?!" Linglong looked disappointed at her mother sitting calmly, and the young women behind her had similar expressions.

Long Ji feigned anger and tapped her beloved daughter's head, "Alright! Silly girl, stop daydreaming!"

"And you all, Master Chen has opened such a wonderful era for cultivation. You should play less and cultivate more diligently!"

The women looked at each other, their gazes inevitably falling on the game board in front of Long Ji. They had seen it all clearly.

Long Ji, the senior disciple, was leading the charge in teasing their master!

Just as the juniors were about to speak out in anger but dared not, suddenly, a "ding" sound echoed in everyone's ears!

No, not just them, but every cultivating being, with the Vast Sea Sect as the origin point, heard a ding!

Even Qin Shang, who had been pulled to the high heavens by Chen Luo, was no exception!

To the shocked gaze of the cultivators, a pure white screen quietly appeared before everyone's eyes: xxs1
