The Primordial Free-spirited Kunpeng

Who is Gonggong?

After Kunpeng fell from the divine realm and repeatedly returned to his divine position, he made no fuss until the Ice Phoenix Clan Chief ascended to the divine realm and raised questions.

Amidst the brilliant divine fire, empowered by the pure faith of the Ice Phoenix Clan, the Ice Phoenix, having briefly ascended to the divine realm, inquired: "Who is Gonggong?"

Hongjun explained with a slight hesitation: "Gonggong, the water god, is second only to Heitian in power over rivers, lakes, and seas. He was once brothers with eleven great gods, and they were known as the Twelve Witch Gods."

Where is he?

He's missing!

"He seems to be..."

Before the Ice Phoenix Lord could finish speaking, it exploded mysteriously, unable to maintain its life form. Encountering such a terrible calamity is a death sentence for any innate being; this is a classic example of how loose the tongue can cause disaster.

Hongjun intervened to save the Ice Phoenix Lord, but he was unable to revive her because it was the God of the North Sea who intervened.

All living things in the North Sea are subject to the control of the gods, and can be eliminated as long as a sufficient price is paid.

Kunpeng remained silent, a sense of desolation, like the mourning of a rabbit for the dead and a fox for the dead, for the innate deities truly could kill at will.

The Ice Phoenix Clan was filled with grief, this time even more intense, because of their faith in their clan leader. They had placed their hope in their leader, but now that hope was dashed, and the power of their faith dissipated into the world.

Hongjun said with slight anger, "God of the North Sea, you couldn't possibly have imprisoned Gonggong, so why did you kill my acquired gods?"

The sea god coldly said from underwater, "Did you, the Ice Phoenix Clan Chief, have my permission to become a god?"

"Hmph, even if you are a primordial deity of the North Sea, you are not qualified to kill a acquired deity."

"The Great God Hongjun, the patriarch of the Ice Phoenix Clan, is not yet a god."

"you……"

Two great gods arguing

Kunpeng wanted to laugh. Why bother with words when you can just take action? He really didn't know if Hongjun was intentionally fooling him!

Bored, we want to see rivers of blood.

Half a day later

Hongjun charged directly towards the underwater palace, his fighting spirit tearing through the water, but clearly he failed to break Gonggong's seal.

"Hongjun, you really did make a move. I've heard your temper is getting worse and worse."

"After all, he is an acquired deity. You cannot grasp the divinity of the Great God Pangu, and it is easy for you to lose control."

"I am the God-King of the Northern Heavenly Court, a candidate for the position of Elder God of the Primordial God Clan. How could you, a mere acquired deity, possibly compare to me!"

God Wars Erupt

The North Sea is the divine kingdom, the divine domain of the North Sea God, where he can wield power with the greatest authority.

Primordial energy, boundless divine light, and the Great Dao of Water bestowed upon him.

The rivers, lakes, and seas of the Northern Wilderness Continent appeared, and the Sea God's black hair flew wildly as he trapped the enraged Hongjun.

even

The creatures living near the water in the northern part of the primordial world still have devout faith, and the Sea God of the North Sea is also very powerful in his acquired divine way, almost as powerful as Hongjun.

"If you look down on the acquired path of divinity, why bother trying to comprehend it?"

"The innate divine way is supreme, but the acquired divine way can serve as a supplement. In any case, the people of the Northern Wilderness worship this king."

"Shameless, despicable, cruel."

"Hongjun, the gods are not meant to protect all living beings; your divine path has gone astray."

"I, Hongjun, started as a primordial being. Even though I became a god later in life, I am still closer to the primordial beings."

The Great War Breaks Out

The creatures of the North Sea were terrified, especially the beings of the North Sea Heavenly Pool, who were shocked that Hongjun was actually a great god.

The fact that he wasn't beaten to death by the sea god shows how powerful the acquired divine path is; it's worth studying carefully.

Kunpeng comprehended the divine fire, a fragment of the water law of the Kun clan, which was only infinitely close to the divine Dao fruit.

Kunpeng was very dissatisfied with Hongjun's performance. "Even the North Sea God can't defeat him, so why is he getting involved?"

However, he still looked towards the battlefield. The North Sea God was the God King of the Heavenly Court, and many other gods of different ranks followed him.

Rivers, lakes and seas

The northern wilderness is filled with great rivers, lakes, and streams, but few of them possess spirits.

A river that flows alone into the sea and never dries up is the foundation upon which deities are born.

Kunpeng looked at the Northern Water God. Judging by the size of the divine body alone, the Northern Sea God stood tall and upright, making him a God-King.

Next is the Waterway Deity.

Once again, for the waterway god

The lowest is the Waterway True God

Heavenly gods are blessed by water from the heavens, earthly gods are replenished by water from the ground, and true gods are simply the melting snow from high mountains and the convergence of hundreds of rivers.

There is a god in the sky

Kunpeng comprehends the aura of innate deities, which is the pure remains of the great god Pangu, making it stronger and purer than innate beings.

Deities are divided into innate and acquired.

Even among innate deities, there are differences in strength. The primordial world has never been fair; some were born as gods, but many more were born as beings. This is Pangu, the great god who created all things; its essence is the remnant of Pangu's body, so it cannot be said to be unfair.

We are all Pangu, but some are closer to the great god Pangu.

The Black Roc Clan Chief briefly ascended to the Divine Realm, and the acquired deity surrounded by the power of faith asked in bewilderment, "We have already been abandoned by the North Sea God, so why are there still so many believers among the beings of the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool?"

The Ice Silkworm Clan Chief and the Ice Cicada Clan Chief remained silent. Kunpeng simply replied, "Because the North Sea God is powerful. As long as someone is powerful enough, they will have worshippers and believers."

"The acquired deities are far inferior to the innate deities. The innate deities do nothing yet receive the power of faith, while we are expected to protect our believers."

Acquired deities, acquired spirits, several acquired gods were born in the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool.

The divine fire is ignited, faith is blessed, and one's status is confined to the hearts of believers in Beihai.

Kunpeng did not use the power of faith to enhance his status because he still had to leave the North Sea, and the acquired divine path was not a perfect fit.

Once he becomes too deeply involved, he will be unable to leave and will have to cut ties in advance.

The creation of gods by innate beings through faith is the foundation of acquired deities; its essence is that believers lend power to an innate being. All great power originates from faith, and therefore cannot exist independently of its followers.

The Kunpeng Clan Chief, the Ice Silkworm Clan Chief, the Ice Cicada Clan Chief, and others heard the plea for help.

"The water god Gonggong is calling for help."

Why was the water god, second only to Krishna, imprisoned?

"Gonggong promised to bestow upon him a primordial spiritual treasure once he was rescued!"

There is a distinction between innate beings, those who ignite the divine fire, and acquired deities.

Kunpeng was initially one of the strongest beings in the Northern Sea, one of the first to ignite the divine fire, but now there is a rift between him and the acquired gods. This is because the acquired gods are more powerful than those who ignited the divine fire, and a new level has emerged in the Northern Sea.

After the Ice Phoenix Clan Chief fell, an Ice Phoenix rose to power, hence the name Phoenix Clan.

By igniting the divine fire, the Ice Phoenix received the faith of the Ice Phoenix Clan and incidentally changed the clan's name to the Ice Phoenix Clan.

Divine Silkworms and Divine Cicadas, powerful beings at the Divine Fire Realm second only to the clan leader, have appeared.

The three powerful beings, having found the Kunpeng, naturally grouped together, led by the Kunpeng who had ignited its divine fire earlier, to learn the details of becoming a god. The others, having been less powerful before, hadn't participated in the discussion; they were latecomers due to a lack of information.

"Does faith elevate one's status?"

"Can the combined faith power of the various races in the North Sea give birth to a second acquired deity?"

"Brother Kunpeng, why are you wary of the clan leader...?"

suddenly

The divine silkworm, the divine cicada, and the ice phoenix were all terrifying.

The Kun Clan Chief, the Ice Silkworm Clan Chief, the Ice Cicada Clan Chief, and others made their move.

The Ice Phoenix was ganged up on, and the Divine Silkworm and Divine Cicada were defeated, their faith power was greatly reduced.

Kunpeng fled before the several acquired deities could make their move, and the prediction came true; the competition among acquired deities was fierce.

Would the one who becomes a god first allow the one who becomes a god later to do so?

The power of faith is unique, and the meaning of acquired deities is naturally known.

The divine silkworm and the divine cicada were almost beaten to death, and looked in horror at the clan leader who should have been close to them.

The Ice Silkworm Clan Chief spoke up: "The ferocious beasts of the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool are powerful. We cannot divide our strength equally, or we will surely be defeated."

The Ice Cicada Clan Chief explained, "Please be patient for now. We will become gods first, and then we will guide you to become gods when the time is right."

The Divine Silkworm, Divine Cicada, and others asked in confusion, "Then why did they attack the Ice Phoenix Clan Chief?"

"We discovered that the Phoenix Clan can also believe in us, but they are not devout enough; they prefer to believe in their own kind."

"Kunpeng is very strange. You should avoid contact with him. We can teach you the path to godhood. Otherwise, relying on Kunpeng is hopeless, because he has never become a god. You should make a rational choice."

When the gods are born

The Battle of Tianchi in the Northern Sea begins with the upper hand.

Without the strong pressure of ferocious beasts as external enemies, Kunpeng was not surprised at all that Tianchi had begun its old internal competition.

The innate deities were born, and the divine path evolved afterward; everything was merely a product of the development of the primordial world.

Giant Kun chasing

Black Roc Tracking

Kunpeng was being hunted down by two acquired deities because it might threaten their positions. The choice he made for the safety of his divine status was so simple and unpretentious.

The Black Roc Clan Chief laughed and said, "Kunpeng, don't run away. We have something to discuss with you."

The Kun clan chief tempted, "Kunpeng, although I became a god first, I can help you become a god later."

The Kunpeng struggled to cross the river between the water and the sky. The ancient well remained calm and said, "Acquired deities are truly inferior to innate ones. The competition among acquired deities is even fiercer. You have learned cruelty, shamelessness, and deception without any instruction!"

When Hongjun returned

The strongest of the acquired gods was speechless. The small Northern Sea Heavenly Pool had only recently given birth to an acquired god, yet its situation was already similar to that of the acquired gods in the prehistoric world.

The acquired divine path was indeed one of the great paths, fitting all innate beings, but Hongjun was even more disappointed.
