Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 139, Section 138: Understanding Cause and Effect, the Wandering the Primordial World Plan

"A monstrous beast?"

Hongjun was lost in reminiscence.

The battle that shattered the world was no simple matter.

That battle reduced the three thousand Chaos Gods to just a few, leaving them barely able to breathe.

But that is not the end.

The Calamity Beast is a creature evolved from the chaotic cosmic will, combined with the remnants and evil thoughts of the chaotic demon gods, as well as the essence of its flesh and blood. Its sole purpose is to destroy everything related to Pangu.

The evil beasts are indeed not strong, but their numbers are numerous and they can resurrect infinitely. After being killed, their origins return to the chaotic universe. Only by suppressing or banishing them can we achieve temporary peace. Moreover, all kinds of distracting thoughts and evil energy will become nourishment for their growth. Now, the primordial true world is a treasure land for their growth, where various thoughts are intertwined.

"A newborn?"

Hongjun asked, "They once fought against the Calamity Beast and completely sealed it. Then Pangu severed the connection between the Calamity Beast's ancestor and the Chaos Universe, and then cut it into the smallest particles, banishing it to countless timelines. It is almost impossible for them to reunite."

"Newborn".

Wuliang Kun nodded. Pangu had a backup plan, and so did the will of the Great Dao. Influenced by the desires of all living beings, the newly born calamity beasts would certainly be far stronger than the old ones. It was just unknown where the source of the current calamity beasts was.

“That’s troublesome. In the primordial world, there are ferocious beasts evolving from the division of the earth by fate, and there are also calamities attacking from the outside. There are even some unknown changes. Ji Yuan and his group are not enough.”

Hongjun's expression was somewhat grim. If his physical body and the Great Dao were still intact, he could have delayed the inevitable for some time. But now, with only a trace of consciousness remaining, he was truly powerless to do anything about it.

If anyone has any reason to blame, it's only themselves for being greedy for fate. If they had offered a little help when the three realms were united, and had focused on helping the Primordial True Realm develop, perhaps they could have glimpsed the door to transcendence without having to refine fate.

Perhaps, this is also fate's arrangement.

"Give Ji Yuan a little more time, and the danger of the calamity beasts should not be a problem. He has already mastered the Primordial Pearl, and it is only a matter of time before he evolves the Primordial Purple Qi."

"Hey, you old codger, you still like to scare people after all these years." Wuliang Kun had barely finished speaking when Hongjun cursed at him.

"Now that we have that supreme treasure, the danger of the calamity beasts should not be a problem given enough time."

Hongjun glanced at Wuliang Kun, his eyes full of resentment. He hadn't expected that this old fellow Wuliang would also develop the habit of leaving things unsaid.

"Hahaha."

Wuliang Kun laughed heartily.

"You old codger, didn't you always like to talk like that? Now you know it's painful?"

Before the creation of the world, Wuliang Kun, Pangu, Hongjun, and others were close friends. Pangu always acted directly and never concealed anything, while Hongjun was different. He always liked to only say half of what he said, leaving the other half for others to guess. He was a master at keeping people in suspense among the Chaos Gods.

Hongjun laughed with Wuliang Kun for a while, then his eyes turned deep: "How long can you stay awake?"

Wuliang Kun's gaze pierced through the barrier of the celestial realm, looking towards the vast primordial world, and he sighed, "Who knows? I was born from Him, so there is no point in resisting. But before I transform into the Dao, I will leave behind what I have been accumulating since the beginning of time, which may leave a chance for the primordial true world."

Upon hearing Wuliang Kun's words, Hongjun's eyes were unreadable, as if he were thinking about something. He sighed softly, "Speaking of which, the Dao you possess is supreme, the foundation upon which the chaotic universe stands, yet you are not as free as we are, and your actions are often constrained."

Hongjun's words seemed to touch a nerve with Wuliang Kun, causing this demon god, who had existed since the beginning of time and witnessed countless historical events, to become somewhat melancholy:
"Just as Pangu said, one's foundation is both a blessing and a constraint. What one was once proud of can become an obstacle when one actually reaches that point."

Looking at the beings in the Primordial True Realm, Wuliang Kun was actually envious. Although their origins were insignificant, under the influence of Pangu and the creation of a new world, they had infinite possibilities. Perhaps they could not reach that realm in their lifetime, but at least they had hope.

As for the Chaos Gods, once they take human form, they become Primordial Golden Immortals, but crossing that threshold is virtually impossible.

"What a pity, what a pity that I was bewitched and did not listen to Pangu's words, and was played by fate, and ended up like this."

Hongjun sighed deeply. It was a terrible feeling to have worked so hard for so many years only to find that he had become someone else's pawn, and now he was even restricted by it, which threatened the world.

"Alright, there's no use regretting it now. Just get on with your life. Things can't get any worse anyway."

Wuliang Kun patted Hongjun's illusory shoulder, laughed heartily, and then disappeared in a beam of light.

Hongjun shook his head and called out:
"Haotian."

Upon hearing Hongjun's call, Haotian immediately stepped forward:
"teacher."

Hongjun nodded: "You'll benefit from spending more time with Ji Yuan."

Haotian's expression changed, and recalling that his old friend had just been searching for Hongjun, he immediately understood:

"is teacher."

After saying that, he left the prehistoric world without looking back.

"Ruzi can be taught."

………………

Huaguoshan.

Ji Yuan preached to several spiritual roots for eighty-one years. In reality, they couldn't understand much with their current level of intelligence. His preaching was actually to enhance their instinctive perception of the Great Dao and expand their path of cultivation.

After the sermon, Ji Yuan sensed that the being conceived after the sublimation of humanity was about to be born.

In a flash, he arrived at the Fire Cloud Cave. Inside, nine karmic positions spun and floated, and at their center, a mysterious aura was evolving. Within this aura, a vague form and divine consciousness had already appeared.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan whispered a warning:

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui, the time has come, why don't you wake up quickly!"

Its sound was deafening, carrying extremely profound fluctuations, and the being nurtured within that profound energy suddenly opened its eyes.

"This is?"

The Xuan Turtle looked at the mysterious aura surrounding it with a blank expression. Its memory was still stuck when the pillar of heaven collapsed and it offered its four legs to mend the sky. The environment in front of it felt completely unfamiliar.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui."

A sudden call startled the bewildered black tortoise, but my eyes cleared instantly.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan?"

Xuan Gui asked with some doubt. He wasn't quite sure if the person in front of him was Ji Yuan, because his aura had changed too much and he couldn't figure it out at all.

"it's me."

Ji Yuan nodded. "This place is a land of great fortune, nurtured by the sublimation of humanity. Once you have fully digested the fortune within, you will be able to become a Primordial Golden Immortal when you are born."

Ji Yuan's words struck the Xuan Turtle's mind like a thunderbolt. He was born as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, so why couldn't he understand? Was he still immersed in endless time and space, and all that was in front of him was just wishful thinking?
Seeing the bewildered look in the black tortoise's eyes, Ji Yuan knew that it hadn't reacted yet, so he lightly tapped its fingertip, and images fell into the black tortoise's mind.

Information such as the Great Luo Heaven of Incense Offerings, the Extinction of Heavenly Dao, the Realm of Mountains and Seas, the Unity of the Three Realms, and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun entered the Xuan Turtle's mind.

Xuan Turtle felt that the world had changed too much, even more absurd than the fact that he would die after waking up from a nap.

I never imagined that I would exchange my meager cultivation for the status of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. What a worthwhile deal!

The true spirit of the Xuan Turtle has always been in Ji Yuan's hands and is in a disordered state, so it cannot sense the passage of time in the outside world.

This is equivalent to someone closing their eyes and then opening them again, and telling them that as long as they stay here peacefully, they will become a Primordial Golden Immortal after birth. Anyone would be shocked and unable to react.

After a long while of digestion, the Xuan Turtle's eyes finally cleared, and it looked at Ji Yuan and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, the consequences you've borne are far too great."

It's no wonder the Xuan Turtle reacted this way; it was simply beyond his imagination. When he mended the heavens, all he had planned was to be reincarnated as a human and become Ji Yuan's disciple.

At first, he only saw that Ji Yuan had amazing luck and the human race had great potential, and wanted to find a good way out for himself.

Who would have thought that upon opening his eyes, he would become a sacred beast born from the sublimation of humanity, and even more so, possess the cultivation of a Primordial Golden Immortal upon birth? What incredible fortune this is! He has truly struck gold.

“Alas, Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui, there’s no need for this. The current situation is chaotic, and fate may intervene at any time to disrupt the order of the primordial world. It is precisely when we are in need of people. If we let humanity take its own place, we don’t know when it will be born. With your true spirit joining us, we can quickly integrate the power of humanity to achieve the Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Now, with one more Grand Luo Golden Immortal, we have a better chance of winning.”

Ji Yuan's words made perfect sense, but Xuan Gui knew that he had still gotten a huge advantage, and the favor he owed was far too great.

He smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan."

Ji Yuan waved his hand, leaving behind a wisp of Pangu Origin Qi to hasten the birth of the Xuan Turtle, which vanished from its spot in an instant.

The Xuan Turtle gazed in the direction Ji Yuan had left, remaining silent for a long time. Then it began to absorb the power with all its might, hoping to emerge as quickly as possible. The struggle for the world was urgent.

After Ji Yuan left, he went straight to the Netherworld. He glanced at the thriving Underworld and then flashed to the Netherworld Emperor's Palace. Like the Fire Cloud Cave, this was the place where the Underworld manifested and also the place of great fortune after the Underworld was sublimated.

Deep within the palace, just like in the Fire Cloud Cave, nine Earthly Dao Positions rotated and circled, with a mysterious aura condensing in the center, within which was a blurry dragon shadow.

Ji Yuan said softly, "The time has come, Thor, why don't you wake up quickly?"

Thor, who was deep in the darkness, suddenly opened his eyes. The earth's energy and the energy of the underworld surged within them, and dazzling lightning radiated around him, making him extremely majestic.

"Ji Yuan?"

Thor opened his eyes and saw Ji Yuan, his eyes filled with doubt.

Without wasting any words, Ji Yuan transmitted the entire scene, identical to that of the Xuan Turtle, into Thor's mind.

It took Thor a long time to process all the information.

Unlike the Black Tortoise, he quickly accepted his new identity and exclaimed with delight:
"Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan, I really didn't misjudge you. You taught me Lei Ze and many other profound thunder techniques in vain."

Thor was overjoyed. Investing in Ji Yuan was the best decision he had ever made. A small investment had brought him the achievement of a Grand Luo Immortal, which was a great deal.

"Has that old codger Qinglong achieved enlightenment yet? If he hasn't, I'll make him laugh to death when I get out."

Thor laughed heartily and asked. He had a very good personal relationship with Qinglong. If Qinglong had not achieved enlightenment, he would not have cared about their past relationship and would have definitely ridiculed him severely.

Seeing that the first thing the Thunder God did upon waking was to mock the Azure Dragon, Ji Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.
“The Azure Dragon has already attained enlightenment, and not only that, the Ancestral Dragon has also attained enlightenment. Your plan to mock him is likely to fail.”

Thor's expression froze upon hearing this. That old bastard had actually attained enlightenment, and so had the Ancestral Dragon. It seemed that he would never be able to avenge the beating in this lifetime.

Then he looked at Ji Yuan:

"Why is your behavior so strange? What kind of path are you following?"

The first thing that attracted Thor when he awoke was not the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, but the strange aura emanating from Ji Yuan. Logically speaking, so many powerful beings had already attained enlightenment, so why hadn't Ji Yuan?
His current aura is more like that of someone in an extremely strange state, seemingly similar to something that evolved from the phantom of the great god Pangu that he once saw.

The innate Thunder Marsh that gave birth to the Thunder God was originally the essence of Pangu's Heavenly Thunder. During the Thunder God's gestation process, some unknown scenes could naturally be seen.

Thinking of this, he suddenly fell silent, his expression becoming exaggerated, his floating beard swaying wildly:

"Do you intend to take that path? A single misstep could lead to your death and annihilation!"

Ji Yuan was surprised that the Thunder God could actually see through a trace of his path. Even his senior uncle Taiqing couldn't see through it. It seems that the Thunder God knows far more than others can imagine.

"No, I will not take that path. The path I want to take is much more difficult."

Ji Yuan smiled faintly and rejected Thor's statement.

This made Thor even more curious, but he couldn't ask what it was. Some things are better left unsaid, because once spoken, they attract the attention of the unseen forces.

"Alright, you can focus on absorbing the power of sublimation. I have other things to do."

Ji Yuan vanished into the Netherworld in a flash.

Thor looked in the direction Ji Yuan had left and muttered to himself, "These descendants are really something else, one after another. The old waves push the new waves, and the old waves die on the beach."

With a sigh, Thor curled up and began to absorb the energy deeply.

After leaving the Netherworld, Ji Yuan went straight to the Tongtian Jianmu Tree. The Dao Ancestor had already told him that Senior Wuliang was one of their own, so the plan to wander the prehistoric world could begin.

Upon arriving at the gathering place of the sages, Ji Yuan greeted them and then said:

"Everyone, the Pangu Palace once took me to a strange place, the birthplace of the Chaos God, a place with unimaginable wonders. I intend to draw the Primordial True World to that strange place to accelerate its growth. Do you have any different opinions?"

"I have some questions."

The one speaking was the Sage Cundi.

"A rash move of the primordial world will surely cause great changes within the realm, with the seas overturned, the land shifted, and all living beings suffering. Moreover, there is also the ever-present threat of fate."

Moving the primordial world and destroying the primordial world are not on the same level. Destruction only requires the use of supernatural powers and spells, but moving the primordial world involves many more considerations. Changes in continental plates and sea areas can all trigger disasters. If there were no interference from fate, it would be fine. Sages could use their great power to fix space and time. But now, the sages are all nurturing sacred beasts and cannot spare the time for the moment.

"I already have a solution to this."

Ji Yuan smiled confidently.
