Seeing Xu Fang dodge like that, how could the human race tribesmen remain indifferent? At this moment, they all spoke, urging Xu Fang to accept the merit and luck.
This True Person Xu Fang, by preaching to the human race, allowed them to see hope. This merit and luck was well-deserved; who else was more worthy of it than him?
The human race tribesmen shouted with all their might, demanding Xu Fang accept this merit and luck. However, this only made Xu Fang feel troubled.
"Speaking of which, did I snatch the opportunity from Grand Supreme Elder?"
Xu Fang understood very well that in the future, Grand Supreme would achieve sainthood by relying on the merit of educating the human race.
This was his own fault, only thinking about how to make the human race stronger, and believing that passing down cultivation methods would be without consequence.
Now, looking at the vast merit and luck before him, Xu Fang felt both amused and exasperated. He never imagined that it would actually trigger such a massive amount of merit and luck to descend!
However, looking at the humans below continuously shouting, Xu Fang felt helpless.
Things had come to this point, with merit and luck right before his eyes. Even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't.
"Enough, enough. That fellow Grand Supreme, given an opportunity but failed to seize it, that's his problem to worry about. It truly can't be blamed on me!"
Xu Fang thought to himself this way. Now that he was the focus of everyone's desire, and he could not avoid it, he could only go with the flow of public sentiment!
As for Grand Supreme, he could only blame himself for being slow and missing his chance. If he couldn't become a saint in the future, it would be his own self-inflicted trouble!
With this thought, Xu Fang no longer hesitated and directly stopped resisting, allowing the surging merit and luck to engulf him.
Seeing Xu Fang enveloped in merit, the humans below were overjoyed. While kowtowing, they continuously shouted Xu Fang's name.
The Golden-winged Great Peng and the other two watched this scene and marveled.
They never expected that their senior simply taught the human race the Way and would gain such merit.
If they had known this earlier, should they have discussed with their senior about sharing a little of this merit and luck with them?
Bathed in the sea of merit and luck, Xu Fang continuously absorbed it. At this moment, through the merit and luck, Xu Fang surprisingly discovered something.
Among the human race, besides the constant convergence of luck falling upon him, there were also wisps of unfamiliar energies, ethereal and unpredictable, yet immensely powerful.
"Power of faith?"
Xu Fang sensed it and realized that this was indeed the power of faith arising from the human race!
The power of faith was something Xu Fang knew something about.
The power of merit, the power of luck, and the power of faith, these three things were mysterious and profound aspects of the Primordial World.
The power of merit was self-explanatory; it was often heard of in the Primordial World.
As long as one made a great contribution to the Primordial World or its beings, merit would descend.
For instance, Pangu's splitting of the heavens brought about the merit of creation. Nuwa's creation of humans from nothingness brought about the merit of creation.
Besides this, if one caused negative impacts on the Primordial World and its beings, there would also be merit, but this was a detrimental effect of merit, commonly known as karmic debt.
The benefits of merit were extraordinary. Beings could achieve sainthood through merit, and divine artifacts could be upgraded through merit, becoming merit artifacts.
Luck, in fact, was not exclusive to a race; every being possessed it, in varying degrees. The commonly mentioned "Child of Luck" was a being endowed with great fortune.
Faith, on the other hand, was energy imbued with the emotions of beings, commonly known as wish power.
When countless beliefs converged, they could form the power of faith.
"So, the human race's genuine worship of me at this moment, this power of faith arising is not surprising!"
Xu Fang looked down at the humans kneeling piously on the ground and understood the origin of this power of faith.
This power of faith was a good thing. With more power of faith, the being believed in would become increasingly powerful. Many beings in later generations achieved sainthood relying on this power of faith.
For Xu Fang, who had already achieved immortality and divinity, it seemed tasteless yet a pity to discard.
However, Xu Fang did not have this thought at this moment, because he knew the benefits of the power of faith.
Even for an immortal or a saint, the power of faith held numerous advantages.
Otherwise, why would the great sects of the saints in later generations, despite having unshakeable saints presiding over them, still engage in fierce competition in the Primordial World? It was precisely to attract more believers, obtain more power of faith, and ensure their sect's luck continued to flow endlessly!
It was just that at present, most beings in the Primordial World still focused their attention on merit and luck, completely failing to grasp the importance of the power of faith.
"Regardless, this is all good stuff. I'll take it for now."
Xu Fang did not hesitate, absorbing the merit and luck, and also accepting the power of faith originating from the human race.
The merit and luck were accepted, but this power of faith was the unexpected surprise of this trip!
As Xu Fang absorbed, the merit and luck were soon depleted. The power of faith emanating from the human race tribesmen was also collected by Xu Fang, not a single trace left behind.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, Xu Fang, having absorbed the merit and luck, erupted with a surge of power.
However, it was like a shower of sparks. Although Xu Fang's realm and cultivation had advanced further, he was still firmly stuck at the peak of Quasi-Saint, not breaking through the realm with this vast merit and luck.
"Alas! It's still too difficult!"
Xu Fang shook his head, knowing this was inevitable. Before the six destined saints took their positions, it was impossible for other beings to achieve sainthood.
However, Xu Fang had anticipated this and was not particularly disappointed, quickly composing himself.
"Now that the cultivation methods have been passed down, you all should cultivate diligently and live with dignity in the Primordial World!"
Xu Fang looked down at the human race and spoke loudly, his gaze falling upon the Kongtong Seal.
"As for this Kongtong Seal, it is a supreme treasure of the human race. Now that I have used this treasure to preach to the human race, this treasure..."
Xu Fang certainly would not be greedy for what belonged to the human race. He thought of returning the Kongtong Seal to the human race in a natural manner.
After all, it was a primordial spiritual treasure. With its return to the human race, they would have a means of reliance. As for himself, with so many treasures, he truly didn't lack this one.
However, before Xu Fang could finish speaking, even though the three ancestors of the human race opposed it.
"True Person Xu Fang, please do not say such things. You found this Kongtong Seal, so it rightfully belongs to you!"
"Indeed, True Person Xu Fang, as the preacher of the human race, it is most fitting for him to hold the supreme treasure of the human race!"
"We implore True Person Xu Fang to continue to wield the Kongtong Seal, to prove his title as the preacher of the human race!"
The three ancestors of the human race understood very well that True Person Xu Fang spoke lightly, but finding this supreme treasure of the human race must have been an arduous journey.
Now that he had used the Kongtong Seal to impart cultivation methods to the human race, the human race was already troubled by how to repay him. If they were to take away the treasure from his hands as well, how would that look to other beings? They would laugh at the human race for being ungrateful.
