Chapter 53: Di Jun's Confidant, the Innate Spiritual Treasure

The Heavenly Emperor arrived with hundreds of officials to personally offer congratulations, and Nüwa, who had been observing your "family education" level, naturally smiled and went to greet him; upon meeting, they exchanged pleasantries.

After a moment of catching up, Di Jun suddenly noticed your presence, seeing that you, an immature young dragon, could give lectures in Nüwa's place of proving the Dao, he was astonished: Whose child is this?

Upon seeing that Di Jun had noticed you, Nüwa, to prevent the human race's secret from leaking and causing you trouble beforehand, deliberately shifted the topic to human affairs and then brought you before the curious quasi-sages of the Heavenly Court.

"This is the disciple of my senior brother Taiqing; previously, when my senior brother Taiqing came to discuss the path to sagehood with me, he found my creations barbaric and unbearable, and since I had no children to command, he left his newly accepted disciple here for me to manage the creations."

Nüwa said this half-truthfully.

"He's actually a disciple of Taiqing?"

Upon hearing you were a disciple of a sage, Di Jun immediately became interested, insisting you demonstrate your talent before everyone... no, your teaching ability.

"Innate spiritual treasures are good, but I myself have little cultivation, so wielding them is not as convenient as the acquired Slay Immortal Sword."

Not long after Di Jun left, Nüwa also told you she would be departing, following the Dao Ancestor's order to open her own dojo in Chaos; thereafter, all matters of the human race in the Primordial Wasteland would be entirely under your charge.

Overjoyed, Di Jun, in the name of the Heavenly Court, formally appointed you as the heavenly official of the Human Race Chief, and designated the region around Mount Shouyang as the legal territory of the human race; from then on, you held an official status.

Moreover, Di Jun could clearly see that these people were not just paying lip service; they truly supported equality from the heart.

It having said that, Zhao Si could only refrain from criticizing the game's creativity for now, after all, adding settings in this Primordial Wasteland version was nothing new:

Nüwa's heart skipped a beat, feeling you might give her a big task...

"Another new setting..."

After presenting you with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Di Jun and the others began discussing the sage's path with Nüwa; your level was too low to approach and listen to the Dao, so you could only continue lecturing the human race, which lasted nearly ten years...

Upon seeing the four characters "innate spiritual treasure," Zhao Si was overjoyed; after playing this Primordial Wasteland simulation for so long, he had finally obtained an innate spiritual treasure:

The Wu Clan could have split from the Demon Race, the Wu-Demon War could have been triggered by the Heavenly Court's slaughter of humans, Di Jun and Xi He could be siblings, the merit system could be exclusive to humans... even if many innate spiritual treasures were artificially refined, it would not be strange.

Although you had no intention of entering politics to thank the Heavenly Emperor for his favor...

"Quick! Bind!"

Zhao Si couldn't help imagining himself going wild in the Primordial Wasteland fragments, wielding the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to drive out every invading demon without exception...

"Innate spiritual treasure?!"

The next moment, a stream of colorful light flew out from the screen, circled in the air several times, and transformed into twelve crystal beads radiating five-colored light—clearly a treasure among treasures.

Having thought it over, you expressed your wish to see off the Holy Mother of the human race with the highest rites, so you immediately gathered all the villagers of the human race, and together they stood before Nüwa.

For Di Jun, on an ordinary day in the demon calendar, he gifted the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to an unknown little confidant of the dragon race. (Already bound!)

Oh my! Di Jun must have been possessed by the God of Wealth!

Delighted, Zhao Si gazed at these twelve marble-sized Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, his heart soaring with joy:

During the Investiture of the Gods War, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was a renowned powerful treasure, belonging to Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect; in battles against the Chan Sect's disciples, it basically meant a flash of five-colored light and the disciples would kneel!

Later, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl fell into the hands of the Chan Sect, and it even shone brightest during the great breaking of the Slay Immortal Formation.

When Di Jun and the others finished their Dao discussion and departed, your efficient enlightenment once again earned his praise; he promised that if you were willing to take an official post in the Heavenly Court in the future, your progress would surely improve greatly!

"What does 'refined by the Primordial Dragon absorbing the wandering water-element law before the Heavenly Dao took shape' mean?"

As you and the human race exchanged questions and answers, Di Jun almost choked up and dropped a few small pearls—this little dragon was simply to his taste!

"Hurry up and add some cultivation!"

"If you weren't Taiqing's disciple, Di Jun would certainly consider taking you as a student, even as an adopted son..."

Di Jun:!

"Wait!"

Getting used to it is fine...

Under your guidance, the enlightened human race not only began cultivation but also built villages; with daily changes in the tribe, within just ten years the human race became a high-quality people hardly different from the Primordial Wasteland demons, with construction spreading everywhere.

Suddenly, Zhao Si couldn't help rubbing his eyes and looked again at the description of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

Zhao Si stared at his phone screen with a helpless expression:

【"Mom!" Thousands of humans knelt and wept.

【Ding! This question involves future plot; the system cannot answer directly—please explore yourself.

Good grief, the place was packed with all kinds of demons; they even started building houses here, and as far as the eye could see, the continent was bustling, clearly planning to fully occupy this place and wage a protracted war against the possibly still-living "Jin Bing"...

They wounded the saintly body of Tongtian Jiaozhu!

According to Primordial Wasteland settings, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl actually totals thirty-six; Zhao Gongming only obtained twenty-four, with the remaining twelve missing.

【Look, each one roaring, their eyes almost glowing...

【Already bound gift to important Primordial Wasteland figures: "Twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls from Di Jun!"

Sighing, Zhao Si played with this rare innate spiritual treasure while glancing at the purplish-glowing Primordial Wasteland fragments:

【"Twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls from Di Jun": refined before the Heavenly Dao took shape from the wandering water-element law absorbed by the Primordial Dragon, an innate spiritual treasure, originally thirty-six pieces, top grade, now twelve pieces, middle grade.

【After finishing a lesson, Di Jun's impression of you rose straight up—everything about you pleased him, and he also held an excellent impression of Nüwa's creations!

"In traditional Primordial Wasteland settings, aren't innate spiritual treasures naturally produced by heaven and earth?! Where did this setting come from?"

【This isn't over yet; Di Jun then waved his hand and bestowed upon you an extremely precious innate spiritual treasure as a reward.

It seems these twelve of yours are precisely that missing portion.

"The complete set is top grade; I only have twelve, so it's middle grade... but middle grade is still powerful!"

【You know your goal in this life conflicts with Di Jun's; you originally wanted to stay low-key, but since you've been caught red-handed, you might as well give a public lecture to thousands of humans...

【Ding! Detected a gift from important Primordial Wasteland figures; bind?

"It's actually the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!"

【Nüwa:...
