Chapter 86: The Birth of Writing! The Thousand Character Classic Triggers Monstrous Merit!

"This is just a character!"

Lu Yun directly raised his hand, channeled his magic power, and condensed a symbol in the air right in front of him.

Everyone's gaze fell in unison upon that symbol, and then they all became confused.

Immediately following—

"Hahaha!"

Baize suddenly laughed out loud, his face full of mockery, and said: "I, this Demon Saint, thought that since you, a member of the Human Race, said so much, you could really bring us some surprises. I didn't expect that, in the end, the characters you spoke of are no different from the recording methods you just dismissed as worthless."

Not far from him, Yuanshi, Guangchengzi, and the others also revealed a look of disdain.

Even the members of the Wu Clan on the other side, who had originally been full of anticipation, were now shaking their heads one after another, looking disappointed.

Seeing their reactions, the audience in the Transmigration Chat Group within Lu Yun's livestream channel couldn't help but become excited.

Liu Chongxiao: "Quick, quick, quick! Before Lu Yun starts slapping their faces, take screenshots of their current expressions and save them!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Hehe, I'm going to make a comparison image of their expressions once they find out the true power of the characters!"

Ling Yan: "Sure enough, I knew I wasn't wrong to come watch the livestream this time!"

Chen Hai: "It's just a pity that we can't show these pictures to the people involved; otherwise, their expressions would definitely be spectacular."

Fang Xu: "You should be glad they can't see them; otherwise, it would mean they could detect our existence. Do you think we would still be alive?"

Ming Xi: "Hiss! Shivering in fear..."

Lu Yun chuckled, looked at Baize with a playful gaze, and said: "No different? This is a world of difference!"

Baize looked unconvinced and said: "Then tell me, apart from the shape looking different from the Monster Script of my Demon Race, where else is the difference?"

Others also cast curious gazes, waiting for Lu Yun's explanation.

Lu Yun just smiled slightly, suddenly looked toward the direction of the Human Race, and asked: "What do you think this character looks like?"

Suirenshi and the other Innate Humans, as well as the Acquired Humans from the Zhushan Tribe and other tribes from all directions, stared at the symbol Lu Yun had condensed and began to rack their brains.

They all seemed to have thought of something, but for a moment, they didn't dare to speak.

Only among the crowd, a human child who looked only five or six years old suddenly shouted: "Hey, this symbol looks like a person walking!"

The childish voice spread in all directions, and suddenly, everyone else's faces revealed a look of realization.

Isn't this just a person walking?

Lu Yun smiled and nodded, cast an appreciative gaze at the child, and said: "Correct, this character is read as 'ren' 【person】, the person of the Human Race!"

Houtu's eyes lit up instantly, and she exclaimed: "Wonderful! This 'person' character is vivid and lifelike; even a child can understand it at a glance!"

Baize, however, was unimpressed and said: "So what?"

Lu Yun still ignored him and continued to condense other characters.

Sun, moon, mountain, river, water, fire...

Every time he wrote a character, someone from the Human Race or the Wu Clan would guess its meaning. At first, everyone was a bit cautious, but as more and more characters appeared, their success rate in guessing grew higher, and everyone suddenly became confident.

Later on, almost every time Lu Yun wrote a new character, everyone could recognize what it was.

Seeing this, Fuxi had a sudden realization: perhaps the difference between the characters Lu Yun spoke of and other recording methods in the Great Desolation was that these characters themselves possessed meaning?

Baize vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

But just at this moment—

"Hum!"

A muffled sound suddenly came from above the firmament, immediately catching his attention.

Baize looked up, his eyes widened, and he let out an exclamation: "How is this possible?!"

Laozi and the others also looked up at the firmament in unison, their faces all revealing looks of shock.

Because, at this moment, a golden cloud had appeared in the clear blue sky—a Merit Golden Cloud! They were all somewhat incredulous for a moment; this Lu Yun had merely created a few simple symbols, and it had actually triggered a response from the Heavenly Dao, descending Heavenly Dao merit as a reward?! Nuwa was also somewhat surprised, but after the surprise, a look of joy appeared on her face.

Fuxi, on the other hand, was smiling, seemingly not too surprised. Because he had already understood where the brilliance of this new recording method of Lu Yun's lay!

Seeing this, the Wu Clan and the Human Race were naturally both shocked and delighted.

Although the twelve Ancestral Witches like Houtu did not care about Heavenly Dao merit, they were very happy to see Lu Yun summon the Merit Golden Cloud, slap Baize in the face, and make the Three Pure Ones lose their composure like that!

Seeing this scene, the people in Lu Yun's livestream channel naturally hurried to record everyone's reactions from different angles! These were the scenes of the Great Desolation's big shots losing their composure! Recording them would be excellent material for showing off to newcomers in the future! Conversely, Lu Yun, upon noticing the appearance of the Merit Golden Cloud, only glanced at it and then quickly continued to condense more characters!

That's right, he wanted to create as many characters as possible before the Merit Golden Cloud descended, so as to make the Heavenly Dao bestow more merit rewards!

Just like when he was cooking before, presenting many different kitchen utensils and dishes at once! Moreover, this time, the characters he wrote did not wait for the surrounding crowd to guess; he read them aloud as he wrote.

"Heaven and Earth are dark and yellow, the Cosmos is vast and desolate!"

"The sun and moon wax and wane, the stars and constellations are spread out!"

"Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores!"

The crowd, who were originally still in shock, were horrified to find that every time Lu Yun wrote a character, the Merit Golden Cloud above the firmament grew by a fraction.

By the time he had written out the entire Thousand Character Classic, the scale of the Merit Golden Cloud above the firmament had already expanded twofold, directly shrouding the entire Zhushan, looking incomparably spectacular! Even Houtu, who had always had confidence in Lu Yun, was somewhat dazed when she saw this scene.

Because the scale of the Heavenly Dao merit that appeared this time had even surpassed the sum of all the Merit Golden Clouds Lu Yun had obtained previously!

The people in the Transmigration Chat Group were also seeing a Merit Golden Cloud for the first time, and they were equally astonished, taking pictures to save them one after another.

Showing-off material +1!

Showing-off material +2!

And just as Lu Yun wrote the last character of the Thousand Character Classic, the scale of the Merit Golden Cloud finally stopped growing.

The next moment, the Merit Golden Light covering the sky descended, directly shrouding Lu Yun and submerging his entire person!

Everyone present was illuminated by the golden light, only Laozi's face quickly turned ashen! (End of chapter)
