Chapter 252

Female cultivators are just as capable of catching up to male cultivators, and they are just as capable of being no weaker than them.

Isn't it just involution? Come on, let's work, let's live, let's all roll together, let's all involute together!

"Every sister here has her own influence or schemes, but that is not important. Since we are female cultivators, we should naturally unite and join forces. This is inherently beneficial and harmless to us."

"If we gather, we can obtain more benefits, and this will not affect your own schemes and layouts. There is no loss of interest, and there is no conflict between the two. What do you fellow Daoists and sisters think?"

The Queen Mother of the West blinked her beautiful eyes, her gaze appearing slightly nervous as she swept her eyes over the three women.

"Unite..."

The three women pondered for a moment, beginning to think.

They had naturally already guessed this; they weren't fools. It would be strange if they couldn't even guess this much.

First inviting them over, then following up with so much chicken soup for the soul—the meaning was already very obvious. If they couldn't guess it, they were either truly stupid or pretending to be.

"Agreed."

Nüwa was the first to give her answer.

She and the Queen Mother of the West were already very close; calling them intimate friends would not be an exaggeration. Besides, as the Queen Mother of the West said, they wouldn't lose anything either way, so why not do it?

If they felt it was inappropriate later, it wouldn't be too late to withdraw.

If it worked, they could gain an extra share of benefits; there was no reason to refuse.

"Good."

"Cooperation!"

Following Nüwa's lead, Houtu and Wangshu also spoke up to agree.

"Excellent."

Seeing that although she had guessed they wouldn't refuse, it was still just a guess and not a result, the Queen Mother of the West was still somewhat nervous. Seeing the three formally agree, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no other way.

Nowadays in the Primordial World, she was the only one still flying solo and cultivating honestly. To say the Queen Mother of the West wasn't anxious would be complete nonsense.

Everyone else had already taken off, earning pots of gold and gaining huge benefits in every aspect, while she? She was still playing in the mud. Who wouldn't be anxious, who could remain calm in her position?

Originally, at least Fuxi and Styx were the same as her, which provided some comfort. But then, Styx and Fuxi also announced their groups. Especially Styx's deduction group—there was no need to mention how good its prospects were.

Fuxi was the same; although his so-called Space-Time Group looked ordinary, one could see from a glimpse that Fuxi seemed to have other plans.

Could it be that I am the clown?

Am I the only clown?

The Queen Mother of the West was stunned on the spot, nearly falling apart, her head buzzing.

Fortunately, after discovering that all the Primordial giants had begun to lay out plans and take action, the Queen Mother of the West also consciously began to deduce; otherwise, she could really just type "GG" amidst the laughter.

Even so, although she had thought of a way, it could only be implemented by uniting with the other female cultivators.

If Nüwa and the others disagreed and refused, the Queen Mother of the West would truly be at a loss and have no other options. One can imagine what her mood was like.

"Queen Mother of the West, if I am not mistaken, you should already have an idea, right?"

"Tell us about it."

Nüwa said.

How could she not know her best friend's personality? She wouldn't have invited them over without being absolutely certain, and having said so much, it was clear she already had a plan.

"Indeed, I do have an immature idea. You sisters can help me see how it is."

Seeing the women's gazes turn toward her, the Queen Mother of the West said shyly.

"Fellow Daoist, let's hear it."

Wangshu became interested, her spirit lifting.

"Nüwa created the Human Race, I created the Heaven Race, and Houtu created the Nether Race. Except for you, Wangshu, we all have a race."

"Although you don't have one, it doesn't matter; you can create one later."

"Humans for the human realm, Nether for the earth, Heaven for the sky—that is, the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man. If you, Wangshu, create another race, it would be the Star Race, meaning stars, governing the stars of the heavens."

The Queen Mother of the West said slowly. At the end, she paused slightly, as if giving Nüwa and the others space to digest and think.

"Heaven, Earth, Man, Star... four races..."

As top female cultivators of the Primordial World, the wisdom of the three women was beyond doubt. Although the Queen Mother of the West didn't say much, the mention of races made them thoughtful, guessing some things.

"Are you thinking of using living beings as the base?"

Houtu asked.

"Correct."

"Just like that saying often heard on Earth: the countryside encircles the cities."

"The layouts made and actions taken by the various giants are indeed high-end, and they are all very imaginative, capable of obtaining unimaginably huge benefits."

"However, they have all forgotten one point: looking at the Primordial World, and even its many lower realms, the most numerous are often the common masses, the beings at the very bottom."

"These beings are the base, and they are the most numerous."

"In terms of resources and consumption, they are indeed inferior to the middle and high-level beings, but in terms of quantity, it is unimaginable."

"One, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand might not compare to one high-level being, but what if there are a billion?"

"I have investigated and deduced this, taking the lowest-level beings with the lowest cultivation in every realm as an example."

"In the main world of our Primordial plane, including over a billion trillion lower realms, the total number of beings with the lowest average cultivation is over a billion zǐ, while the number of middle and high-level beings is about ten thousand gāi."

703216220

(daac) The difference in quantity is imaginable.

The Queen Mother of the West said calmly.

Zǐ!

One must know that ten thousand billion is a zhào, ten thousand zhào is a jīng, ten thousand jīng is a gāi, and ten thousand gāi is a zǐ. From this, one can imagine how vast the number of beings in the Primordial World is.

Over a billion zǐ!

And the disparity between the bottom and the middle/high-level beings is self-evident.

"If we can utilize all the bottom-level beings of the entire Primordial plane, our harvest will reach the sum of all the giants, and the Primordial merit we can obtain will be far above theirs."

The three women's expressions changed, and they immediately realized what terrifying benefits were contained within.

Especially the Primordial merit; this was the most important thing.

After all, this concerned whether they could obtain the subsequent paths to the Supreme Dao or divine abilities from Li Mo.

For the Heavenly Dao, there is no distinction between levels of beings. As long as there is merit to the Primordial World and it is beneficial to the growth of living beings, there is contribution. Moreover, if it is the bottom-level beings, the contribution of each one is actually more than that of the middle and high-level ones.

There is no need to explain this point further; those who know, know.

"Yes, we have all been thinking about how to obtain the greatest benefits from the big picture, but we forgot that only by looking at it macroscopically can benefits be maximized. Only in this way can we obtain the greatest benefits."

"Middle and high-level beings? No, no, no, the value contained in the bottom-level beings is the highest. They can win by quantity. They have all deviated; they have all forgotten the focus and the core."

"Middle and high-level beings, even without teaching, have enough foundation to cultivate and become stronger. But the bottom-level ones are different. If they are not given grace, they are the ones who have difficulty finding a possibility of transcendence."

"No resources, no connections, no background—under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of transformation, at most passively obtaining some benefits when the Primordial World ascends. But if we help the bottom-level beings..."

Wangshu muttered to herself.

As she continued to speak, Wangshu's expression began to change constantly, her mind greatly shaken, her breathing rapid, as if she had been enlightened.

Her whole person was awakened, as if the thick white fog in front of her had been completely dispelled, giving a feeling of being brand new.

"We have all been going in the wrong direction before."

The three said in unison.

Wrong, wrong, all wrong!

Completely wrong!

All wrong!

They were standing too high, which led them to forget many fundamentals.

Just like gods high above, no matter how much they pity mortals, how could they truly understand the situation of mortals with their thinking?

It is not that they don't do it, nor that they are unwilling to help, but that their level is too high, standing too high, making it impossible to imagine the joys and sorrows of mortals.

And Nüwa and the others were the same.

"I have learned much."

"I have learned much."

Nüwa and the other two women had serious expressions, and they all stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Sisters, you are too polite. I also heard it from a young attendant by my side by chance, and only then did I realize it; otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of this."

"So, do you sisters now understand why I want to unite with you?"

"This cake is too big. I can't eat it alone, and I can't finish it. But if we gather everyone's strength, it's different. We can completely monopolize this entire market."
