A group of people were ecstatic, while others were devastated.
[Because innate magical artifacts can also be forged... their market price has plummeted by 50% in the blink of an eye, and it continues to fall!]
In that instant, a myriad of human reactions were revealed.
Some were ecstatic, some lamented, and some even despaired and destroyed their own immortality.
[Some immortals are alright; even if the value of their innate magical treasures decreases, nothing else changes. This is because magical treasures are primarily for combat convenience; whether their value decreases or not, their function remains the same.]
[Some immortals and deities fared even worse. They borrowed money from all sides to buy a few magical treasures, hoping their value would increase, but instead, their prices plummeted. Even if they sold them, they couldn't repay the merits they had lent out.]
[When the time comes to repay the debt... the merit will turn into a negative balance!]
Although only the position of a Saint is maintained through merit, and merit directly affects only the Saint's sequence, insufficient merit from Earth Immortal to Quasi-Saint will indirectly lead to losses, causing various natural disasters and calamities, resulting in the complete dissipation of cultivation, or even death by ashes!
Especially those six legendary thieves!
[Originally, they could buy a Sainthood with just one Chaos Treasure, but now it costs two, and soon it will drop to three, five, or even more!]
They hate you to the core!
"A massive dive! A massive dive!"
"We can't let this innate magic treasure continue to decline like this!"
"My holy position... my holy position is gone!"
"Hmph, my innate magic treasure won't be discounted! Because my innate treasure is purely natural, born naturally from the primordial world, and possesses a soul, unlike your inanimate objects synthesized later!"
"I use my innate magical treasure purely for my own purposes, but I'm still furious about this. As a pure-path god, speaking the truth from a fair and just standpoint, that beast named Yun Shisi has harmed countless people!"
"We can't let this evil trend continue. We must seek justice...we must seek justice from the Hongjun Ancestor!"
"Let's go! We, the assembled saints, are determined to break down the gates of Zixiao Palace! Ancestor Hongjun will surely avenge us!"
"Punish that bastard!"
"What the hell is that Yun Shisi? He's disrupting our innate magic weapon market, violating the laws of nature, and deserves eternal damnation!"
"I am a former saint who has just ascended to the Primordial World and has not yet obtained the sainthood. Why has the price of my top-grade innate spiritual treasure suddenly dropped? What should I do about my future?"
"Hey, you 'Immortal Luo Yuan' from the Sacred Path Space, you're my real grandpa! Quickly return the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl you rented from me, or I'll really hit rock bottom!"
"Are you just going to watch me die, fellow Daoist?"
[...]
[Some fragile immortals and gods lost control, soaring into the sky and colliding with the celestial chaos. In the blink of an eye, they were torn apart by the turbulent currents and killed. More than a dozen died in a short time, creating more than a dozen batches of confusing accounts.]
More than two hundred saints, along with numerous quasi-saints and Taiyi, chose to resist. They traversed the thirty heavens and headed straight for the Zixiao Palace in the outer heavens.
[Those below the sage all prostrated themselves before the gate and steps, weeping and lamenting their grievances.]
The sages, however, were blinded by their defeat; some even went forward to knock on and pound on the door.
[Hongjun's avatar awakened moments before you announced the opening of the "Treasure Harmony Server," and found it amusing to watch those treasure slave saints wailing and crying out.]
He had never interfered much with the development of this primordial world, so when the hype surrounding innate magical treasures arose, he didn't try to stop it, but instead watched as things developed and how they would evolve.
However, this does not mean he endorsed this behavior; the fact that the Wanqian Yuanhui has never reopened its doors is one example of this.
[Now that you've used the authority he granted you to arbitrarily alter the Heavenly Dao, whether you turn this world into a purgatory or a celestial realm, he doesn't really care. After all, the essential blessings you bestowed upon me are far too precious; even if you shatter the universe, it wouldn't matter much.]
However, the "magic weapon synthesis" you devised truly impressed Hongjun, who secretly thought to himself, "You are a remarkable person."
[With this thought in mind, amidst the fervent calls of the saints outside, he finally emerged, opening the two colossal, glazed doors densely covered with innate Dao patterns with a wave of his hand.]
The primordial purple energy flowed down the thirty-three heavenly steps like a tidal wave, golden lotuses bloomed one after another, and a clear, vast, and ethereal sound echoed from the heavens.
Many sages, their faces beaming with ecstasy, even disregarded etiquette and stepped forward to kneel in worship.
"Teacher, help me!"
"A treacherous villain has tampered with the secrets of heaven, boasting and gloating, disrupting the order of my primordial world!"
"You must uphold justice! The price of innate magic treasures is much lower than before! It has caused countless saints and immortals to fall into poverty!"
The ordinary-looking old man in the grey robe strolled out: "Not as good as before? I remember before the Three Trillion Yuan Gathering, this innate magic weapon was even cheaper than it is now!"
These words immediately made the treasure-collecting saints blush with embarrassment, because it was indeed true. Even though the magic weapon market was currently experiencing a sharp drop, the drop hadn't lasted long and hadn't yet returned to its proper price level.
If we wait another one or two more cycles, we will truly hit rock bottom.
"Teacher, you don't understand. Innate magic treasures are rare to begin with, and the price they were priced before today was their rightful value. Now, however, they have been snatched away by villains. It's outrageous!"
The saints all spoke at once, and even some non-saints and deities who were already kneeling emboldened and began to plead in low voices.
