The Primordial Free-spirited Kunpeng

Hunting is eternal

The key is to hunt prey. The Kun clan is the fastest in water, while the Peng clan is the fastest in the air. The two acquired deities chased after the Kun and Peng, but were unable to succeed because they underestimated their former companions.

The giant Kun god noticed something amiss; it was faster than the Kunpeng in the water, because even an acquired deity is still a deity. The power of faith was more aligned, more faith power was converging, and the whole being was strengthening.

However, whenever it tries to catch up with the Kunpeng, the Kunpeng will leap out of the water and swim freely, leaving the giant Kun helpless in the face of this situation.

"It flew up."

The Kunpeng leaped out of the water, its form changing, surrounded by a power of faith second only to the acquired deities. Its enormous fins flapped, transforming it into the Peng race, though the Kun race's markings remained.

Having escaped the pursuit of the giant Kun god, it was immediately locked onto by the black Peng god, whose speed was as fast as lightning. However, the Peng bird was too small, only one-tenth the size of the Kunpeng, and it was difficult to catch up in a short time.

Peng God Spreads Wings

It also noticed the anomaly; its speed was only slightly faster than that of the Kunpeng, and it would dive into the water whenever it caught up with it.

Although he had achieved godhood through divination, Peng Shen knew he couldn't defeat Kunpeng underwater, and might even be ambushed by Kunpeng. Since he had become a god, there would be competition for the power of faith, which he had to be wary of.

"The Kunpeng has entered the water."

puff

The Kunpeng dived into the water. Its enormous size was rare among the Kun clan, except for the Kun clan deities, which were about ten percent larger.

The Giant Kun Clan's faith power was insufficient to nurture a third being capable of igniting divine fire, and the Black Peng Clan's second divine fire expert hesitated to intervene. With the Kunpeng drawing the gods' attention, the situation was somewhat better for the other divine fire realm beings.

The Ice Silkworm God and the Ice Cicada God, two great acquired deities, could not catch up with Kunpeng even slightly.

Why is the Kunpeng so powerful?

"He's far stronger than the others who ignited the divine fire; he should be able to become a post-natal deity!"

"The power of faith from the Kun Clan and the Peng Clan is the most abundant. There are also a few from the Phoenix Clan, the Ice Cicada Clan, and the Ice Silkworm Clan..."

One who becomes a god after birth is invincible among his own kind; this is a judgment that the gods can make based solely on aura.

In reality, when it comes to a fight, the acquired deities are the strongest, followed by those who have ignited divine fire.

Kunpeng's performance has been unexpected. While it is not as powerful as its fellow deities in one aspect, it has other advantages.

Kunpeng was suppressed by the gods of the two races, but it also had the advantages of both races.

Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, ultimately creating miracles.

Kunpeng, somewhat exhausted, glared at the two deities and cursed, "Foolish! Even if you join forces to kill me, you'll be severely injured. How will you then withstand the siege of other deities?"

The Peng God spread his wings like clouds, and the Kun God was like a mountain of waves. The two gods said proudly, "We can join forces with the other gods to get rid of you. You should not provoke the dignity of the gods and affect the overall situation of the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool."

Kunpeng scoffed, "Besides you, can the remaining gods catch up and join the battle? If I'm in dire straits, I'll definitely take one of you with me, and the remaining one, severely wounded, will also be unable to escape the encirclement."

The Ice Silkworm God and the Ice Cicada God remained silent.

Their arguments are useless, because such thoughts truly exist, and they want to monopolize the power of faith in the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool.

In fact, if it weren't for the threat of ferocious beasts, the various races would have already started a war to strengthen the status of their respective gods.

finally

Peng Shen chose to withdraw, and Kun Shen had no choice but to cease hostilities as well. The gods could still grow stronger in the future. Time was on the gods' side; if they continued to grow stronger, defeating Kun Peng alone would not be a problem.

After World War I

The Peng clan believes that Kunpeng is a member of the Kun clan, while the Kun clan believes that Kunpeng is a member of the Peng clan. When the two clans discover members of their own kind evolving towards their respective clans, they kill them.

exclude

Discrimination

With the tacit approval of the gods of both races, and even the gods of the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool, Kunpeng roamed outside the group.

Those at the innate level of beings dare not communicate with Kunpeng, and those who have ignited their divine fire are unwilling to join forces with Kunpeng to fight against ferocious beasts.

Bullying begins

Kunpeng paid no attention and continued to devour the corpses of the Peng and Kun clans, causing the two divine flames to clash.

Wings ignite the divine fire of the Peng clan

In other aspects, the Kun clan's divine fire is the main source.

The Kun clan represents the norm, while the Peng clan represents change; each clan independently carves out its own battlefield to hunt ferocious beasts.

Hongjun asked curiously, "Kunpeng, why didn't you choose to become a god through the acquired means? If you were willing, you could have succeeded earlier than Kunshen and wouldn't be in your current predicament."

Kunpeng looked at Hongjun on the shore and asked, "Great God Hongjun, why did you choose to become a god through acquired means?"

"Because I want to save my kind, change the fate of innate beings being hunted by ferocious beasts, and make the innate gods acknowledge the existence of innate beings. So I am willing to become a god, because only acquired gods have the right to make innate gods compromise."

"Oh, you're so great. I just don't like becoming a god later in life. Because I simply don't want to."

我愿意

I don't want to

Hongjun's vision was grand: to save his own kind and to save all living beings.

After Kunpeng saved himself, he stopped taking any further steps and wasting his energy, so his perspective became somewhat narrow.

对视

silence

Hongjun said solemnly, "With great power comes great responsibility. We strong should save the weak."

Kunpeng responded: "Do the innate deities agree with your statement? Do all the acquired deities approve of your actions?"

"Partially agree, partially disagree, and partially don't care."

The conversation ended in silence.

Hongjun sat in the North Sea, preaching once more to the acquired deities, while the beings who ignited the divine fire remained even further away. The innate beings, unable to understand, returned, and though they couldn't comprehend the teachings, this time they did not choose to leave.

They worshipped the chieftain deity even more.

I don't understand the Great God Hongjun even more.

Kunpeng adapted to the divine nature of both races, and then comprehended the demonic nature of the ferocious beasts, and the chaotic demon god's nature was more numerous and complex.

The Great Dao is incomplete, and the laws are fragmented, yet they both clash and coexist harmoniously.

The Chaos Demon Ape wields the power of chaos and once wrestled with the great god Pangu, tearing through chaos with an unknown staff.

The Chaos God Wind, formless, dispersed the chaotic mist and shattered the primordial world created by Pangu.

Earth, Wind, Water, Fire

Three thousand chaotic demons, each one ferocious and incomparably powerful, besieged the great god Pangu and fought to the death without retreating.

The Kun is so large that it spans thousands of miles, and each of its scales burns with a thin divine fire.

The Peng bird is so large that its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, and each feather is bathed in divine fire.

The Chaos God and Demon is Pangu, and the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods are the primordial calamities that created the world. In fact, they are of the same kind.

"May I ask, Great God Hongjun, why is the Kunpeng so powerful?"

"Great God Hongjun, why is Kunpeng getting stronger and stronger?"

Hongjun sighed softly, "The path to godhood through faith is the easiest one. Comprehending the Great Dao of Pangu and analyzing the laws of the three thousand chaotic demon gods is far too difficult."

The easiest road is the most crowded; those who go first block those who come later.

The road is difficult, rugged, and dangerous; those who go first and those who come later always diverge, each heading towards different places.

Ultimately, amidst the anxieties of the gods at Beiming Tianchi, a consensus was reached: the power of Kunpeng must be stopped.

Sensing hostility

Kunpeng struck first; instead of fleeing, he unexpectedly chose to ambush and kill.

The Peng God Palace is luxurious, guarded by powerful innate Peng clan members, and even has divine Pengs that have ignited divine fire submitting to it.

Huge waves

The entire Peng clan was terrified. The Peng bird that had ignited the divine fire was also terrified, for the Kunpeng's physique was simply too enormous!

"Kunpeng, how dare you..."

Kunpeng flooded the Black Peng Clan and directly engaged in battle with the Black Peng God. The other gods of the Northern Sea Heavenly Pool did not immediately provide support.

The gods wanted to see Kunpeng's achievements, and this was Kunpeng's chance: to severely injure the Peng God in the shortest amount of time.

A clash of faiths: Peng God's greatest reliance is the Black Peng Clan's dominant wind.

The Kun clan rules water, while the Kunpeng is a master of both feng shui and water. Its blood and flesh fly everywhere, and its broken body turns into water that drowns the Peng god.

With sharp claws and a bird's beak, the Peng clan is relatively weak in combat.

The underwater Kun clan's attack power surpassed that of the Peng God, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses, leaving the gods both shocked and enraged.

"Fellow gods, why don't you come to our aid?"

"Kunpeng, you should not blaspheme the gods!"

Kunpeng repelled Pengshen, then spread its wings and fled, coldly looking at the gods and saying, "Your vision is too small, you are destined not to dare to fight me to the death, and besides, your speed is too poor."

After the Peng God was severely injured, no one could fly past the Kunpeng.

The gods continued their pursuit of Kunpeng, but were given an opportunity to turn the tables and kill him, severely injuring the Kun god of the giant Kun clan.

Flying in the sky and swimming in the water, it is utterly inferior to the Kunpeng.

Having defeated the two great deities and left the other gods helpless, Kunpeng received even more power of faith.

Is it a bird or a fish?

Neither bird nor fish

The beings of Beiming Tianchi do not know whether Kunpeng is a deity, but they recognize Kunpeng as equal to the deities of all races.

Kunpeng was not a god, but he was comparable to the gods, and once again heard Gonggong's plea for help.

"The Dark Heaven deceived me; it sealed me away for the sake of the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag!"

"But I still have the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, and the Water-Dividing Pearl..."

"If we seek help from the great ancestral witches, I am willing to give them a map of the primordial rivers, lakes and seas, and a top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

Kunpeng remained indifferent. He finally understood why Gonggong hadn't died and why he had been captured and imprisoned: it was because Gonggong was too wealthy.

Rescue Gonggong

Offending the sea god might attract Kshatriya, which is a terrible deal!

It's just something we can take advantage of. There will always be gods who will come to the Heavenly Court, and the Ancestral Witches will arrive sooner or later.
