My brother is so cunning

Chapter 902 Explaining the Way of Heaven
The ability to replicate the primordial landscape in scale is considered amazing by the gods. They would need to borrow Nuwa's Map of Mountains and Rivers or Zhenyuan Daxian's Book of Earth to achieve this, relying on the power of magical artifacts.

The mystical skills possessed by most deities are black-box technologies; they only know how to use them, but not the basic principles.

Without top-tier magical treasures, many supernatural powers cannot be used, and many things cannot be done.

This resulted in the bizarre phenomenon where a master would hand over a magical artifact to a disciple, who, after only ten or eight years of cultivation, would turn around and beat up his master, who had cultivated for thousands of years.

Typical examples include the Golden Immortals Chijingzi and Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect.

Guang Chengzi's Fan Tian Seal and Chi Jingzi's Yin Yang Mirror had been in their hands for at least one or two thousand years, yet they still couldn't figure out the working principle of the magic weapons. As soon as they gave the magic weapons to their disciples, they were immediately unable to defeat their opponents.

The power of magical artifacts is indeed an important reason, but even the most powerful magical artifacts must have weaknesses. After so many years of research, even if you don't understand how to open a backdoor for a magical artifact and take back control at any time, you should at least understand how to break or restrain the power of magical artifacts, right?
This situation is simply unimaginable in the technological world. Rick's teleportation gun has fallen into the hands of someone else, and Rick doesn't even need to lift a finger. Morty, who has a slight understanding of how the teleportation gun works, can take care of the other party.

For immortals who haven't undergone systematic learning of the new knowledge of the Jie Sect, seeing Wen Rui perfectly recreate the vast landscape is no different from witnessing a miracle. They only feel that it is incredibly profound and unfathomable, something that only top-level experts could accomplish.

However, it wasn't actually that difficult for Wen Rui to do this; it's easy if you know how, but difficult if you don't.

The topography of the ancient land had already been surveyed and mapped for many years after Wenrui launched remote sensing satellites and high-altitude long-endurance drones, resulting in a very detailed and comprehensive geographical database.

Even the underground geological structure was precisely explored by Wen Rui using sonar and ground-penetrating radar.

There's no need to borrow maps or geography books; a high-definition 3D geographic model can be created instantly simply by accessing a cloud database.

Next, using a principle similar to 3D printing, nano-units are mixed into the soil created by the "Breath of Earth" to form a 3D printing material matrix. With the support of data from the cloud server, layers are stacked and printed to create a landscape of mountains and rivers spanning thousands of miles.

In other words, Wen Rui's technological level wasn't advanced enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed the Breath Soil and the astonishing amount of Immortal Jade. Many advanced civilizations' planetary environmental modification equipment could have easily shaped the planetary surface using purely technological means, and the resources consumed wouldn't have been high.

For example, in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," even mice can afford an artificially constructed replica of Earth.

After Wenrui's restoration efforts, the Southern Jambudvipa plate, which had been ravaged beyond recognition during the previous great battle, has been restored to its original state, exactly as it was before the war.

Just as the last grain of life-giving soil settled and the restoration project was successfully completed, suddenly, nine cracks appeared in the sky, and rosy light poured down like a waterfall.

Wen Rui was surrounded by an auspicious aura that stretched for about ten feet, and the purple aura on the newly rebuilt summit of Mount Tai soared into the sky.

On the continent of Jambudvipa, Mount Heng, Mount Song, Mount Hua, and Mount Heng simultaneously emitted four-colored beams of merit and spiritual light that soared into the sky, echoing the purple aura of Mount Tai.

This was indeed an auspicious sign of divine merit bestowed upon him. Although it paled in comparison to the merit of Nuwa mending the sky, it was still far greater than the immense merit Wen Rui had amassed over the past century through various exploits and tricks. Seeing this, the gods of Heaven could only suppress their dissatisfaction and regret. They had to swallow their anger and force a smile, offering their congratulations to Wen Rui, who was receiving such a great deal of merit.

Wen Rui, taking advantage of others' resources, used the immortal jade he had plundered from the gods of Heaven and the Breath Soil he had tricked from the Jade Emperor to achieve great merit for himself.

Such shameless behavior should have incurred the wrath of all the immortals, arousing the righteous indignation of the hundreds of sinful immortals who had been cheated out of both their wealth and lives, and drawing their condemnation and attacks.

But Heaven favors it, and you don't? Who do you think you are?

At this point, if the immortals show even the slightest displeasure, it is considered politically incorrect in the immortal cultivation version, a grave crime against the heavenly way. They will be punished by heaven without even needing the Jade Emperor to send them to the execution platform.

Even though their smiles were uglier than their tears, the gods could only force a smile through their tears, putting on a show of universal joy and peace.

That's shameless! That's despicable!
You initiated the anti-corruption storm, and you also blatantly embezzled public funds to please Heaven and gain merit. You've taken all the benefits!
What's even more infuriating is that you can't even curse someone if you don't like them. Not only can you not curse them, but you also have to flatter them and say some auspicious words to praise them.

After admiring the fruits of his labor, Wen Rui retrieved the Breath Soil and leisurely flew up to the heavens on auspicious clouds, shining with the radiant glow of heavenly merits as he flew, like a superstar under a spotlight.

And so, shining brightly, it returned to the Heavenly Court amidst the murderous gazes of all the gods.

As Wen Rui entered the half-collapsed, undefended South Heavenly Gate, he saw a gathering of immortals on the Heavenly Street, as if welcoming him back in triumph. However, unlike when he returned to Heaven after defeating Mosquito Taoist, the immortals who came to greet him all had sour faces and their eyes were not very friendly.

Without even needing to think too much, Wen Rui knew that this strange atmosphere had likely aroused the envy and dissatisfaction of certain immortals. He knew that his shameless act of embezzling public funds and squandering billions of immortal jades in exchange for heavenly merits had probably caused some immortals to become jealous and dissatisfied.

"Hmph! Originally, I didn't need to explain to you, but I am of high character and broad mind, and I won't stoop to your level. So I will mercifully teach you a thing or two, so that your hearts will not be obscured and you will not harbor evil thoughts that harm others and yourselves."

Wen Rui, however, glared coldly at the accusations and instead accused the villains first, disdainfully rebuking the immortals: "Do you know the principle of 'heaven is incomplete and earth is flawed'? Heaven and earth are two sides of the same coin, interdependent and mutually supportive. If the earth's veins are flawed, the foundation of heaven is unstable. If the damaged earth veins are not repaired, no matter how sturdy the protective array is built, it will be a top-heavy castle in the air, looking impressive but utterly useless!"

"I have my reasons for using a massive amount of immortal jade to repair the earth. Now that the earth's defects have been repaired and the foundation of the Heavenly Court has been strengthened, once the Heavenly Protection Array is completed, it will be perfect and flawless, with no more loopholes or weaknesses."

The gods, who were initially dissatisfied, looked thoughtful after hearing Wen Rui's explanation. Some thought it made sense, while others still frowned and cast doubtful glances at Wen Rui.

There's no need to doubt it; Wen Rui is just spouting nonsense, making up some excuse to confuse the public.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to disprove his nonsense. It's like how the immortals of the Chan Sect can interpret the Dao of Heaven however they want, and no one can ask the Dao of Heaven to come out and testify for them.
