The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

Chen Geng knew that the myth of the Seven Kingdoms was not strictly speaking a myth of the Seven Kingdoms, but a myth of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

In this myth, Lao Tzu wrote about virtue, converted the barbarians at Jiayuguan, and rode an ox westward.

Confucius used literature to convey the Way, established Confucianism, and ascended to sainthood.

Even more so, some human emperors have attempted to unify the nine provinces and reclaim the throne of the human emperor.

What impressed Chen Geng the most was the "Alchemist" from that period!

In this myth, Qi cultivators are the mainstream, possessing the ability to fly and escape from the earth, so the techniques in this myth should be useful to them.

After some time, a cultivation technique appeared in his channel:

Purple Qi Breathing Method

It really is the technique of a Qi cultivator!

Chen Geng's eyes lit up, and he quickly focused his attention on the cultivation technique. The obscure and difficult-to-understand words seemed to have been annotated in his mind.

This golden crow has an extraordinary background; its brain is truly remarkable.

This breathing technique involves inhaling and exhaling a wisp of purple energy that is born from the heavens and earth at the time of sunrise each day.

This purple aura does not come from the sun, but rather from the aura that arises when the sun is first born, bathing all living things in its light; it is also the essence of all things.

By consuming the purple aura, one can attain longevity; by cultivating both nature and life, one can achieve the Dao.

But after Chen Geng finished looking at it, he was a little confused. This purple aura... wasn't here.

The sun has always hung high in the sky, unmoved since time immemorial; how could it have been born?

Since nothing can be born from bathing, cultivation techniques are useless.

Chen Geng: "This technique doesn't work for me."

He regretfully conveyed the message, then looked down at the vast, desolate land.

But... this did give him some inspiration.

Only when the sun rises and shines upon the earth can a wisp of purple aura be born.

The sun that Pangu's eyes transformed into has remained unchanged since time immemorial. It is too high and too far away. If he himself transformed into a small sun and moved around the earth, and his own light interacted with all things, would he also be able to gain contribution points?

Chen Geng's eyes were thoughtful. He deliberately made himself glow, instinctively burning his innate divine power, the True Fire of the Sun!

If all living beings in the primordial world looked up, they would see a small sun being born beneath the main sun, constantly approaching the primordial land.

Chen Geng cannot stray too far from the sun, but whenever he tries his best to get closer to the primordial earth, he can raise the earth's temperature by a tiny bit.

He was only pulled back by the sun when he was completely exhausted, allowing him to regain his strength.

Chen Geng wanted to use this to change the prehistoric world and thus gain contribution points.

This golden list seems to be intended to let them change the world.

Where there is temperature, there is change.

On the earth, a patch of icy seawater gradually melted, and colossal dragons on the ice raised their heads, gazing at the sun.

The dragons were astonished to discover that every so often a "small sun" would be born in the sky, gradually brightening before dimming and disappearing.

But He did not disappear completely; instead, He would reappear after a period of time.

The process of such regular appearance and disappearance subtly enlightens all beings to something, though not in a concrete way.

Over the years, on that land melted by the ocean, a candle-red dragon slowly opened its eyes.

His eyes held the vicissitudes of time, the rolling years, and at this moment, a flash of enlightenment crossed his pupils.

"My time has come."

He stood tall and straight, using his body as a needle and the glacial earth beneath his feet as a plate.

Every time the sun appears in the sky, this "needle" falls down, smashing a deep crack in the glacier.

His eyes see the flow of the Great Dao, and he perceives the changes in heaven and earth; every time he strikes, it is with unparalleled precision.

Although the beings in the primordial world had some understanding of this, they still felt that something was missing.

This very point has caused immense distress and frustration among the general public.

This led to a war among some terrifying groups, and many transmigrators perished in the ensuing chaos.

Until one day, the dragon needle struck the earth 365 times, completing one cycle of the heavens and earth. All races and spirits heard this voice echoing across the primordial land:

"My name is Zhulong. I take myself as my anchor. What I am before can be called the past, what I am now is the present, and what I am not here is called the future."

"I establish a Way, named Time, and this Way... is established!"

The moment the words were spoken, a golden light of merit descended from the heavens and poured into the body of the Candle Dragon. Chen Geng saw it clearly, and the ignorance that had always been hidden in his heart suddenly became clear.

He, like all other races and spirits, "suddenly awakened."

Time! Time has come!

From then on, the concept of time existed innately, and when the golden light fell, it split into three.

The thickest beam of golden light, seven-tenths of the divine power, poured into the body of the Candle Dragon.

The remaining two-tenths of the merit were spread across the glacial land beneath the Candle Dragon, which was marked by the passage of time, turning it into a millstone!

Each turn of the millstone represents a day passing in the primordial world.

The final golden light of virtue did not fall to the earth, but instead found its master in the sky—Chen Geng!

He regularly illuminated the earth, causing the Great Dao of Time to take shape, and by sheer accident, he managed to obtain a share of it.

The moment this merit of becoming gold appeared, his own contribution value immediately skyrocketed!

In the blink of an eye, it's 10000, but this is just the beginning. In another blink, the contribution value has broken the 20000 mark.

By the time the golden light ended, Chen Geng's contribution points had reached 100000!

This contribution value is indeed meritorious! A full 100,000 contribution points!

Chen Geng was so excited he could hardly contain himself; his idea was right!

Without saying a word, he added all his contribution points to the fusion level!

[Fusion degree: 0.12%]

In that instant, the scroll of the Golden Gate unfolded once more, and following the degree of fusion and cultivation realm, a new function appeared—the Great Dao!

[Jinwu Avenue: 0.12%]

[Time Avenue: 0.01%]

Chen Geng had no time to examine these things; instead, he was engrossed in enlightenment.

When the Great Dao is complete, the Great Luo will naturally be formed!

Under the golden light, his insights into the Golden Crow Dao and the Time Dao came rushing in, for these two Daos were fundamental.

Although his cultivation level was still at the Refining Essence into Qi stage, his strength had suddenly leaped to the point where he was qualified to stand at the top of this world!

On the earth, the Candle Dragon slowly raised its head, sensing that its own Great Dao had been touched by someone else, right above the sun.

"Interesting. Who orchestrated this?"

He did not appear to have just grasped the essence of time, but rather to have experienced countless years and returned from the future.

The wisdom in his eyes flashed for a moment, and Zhulong regained his previous clarity, becoming engrossed in his own Dao.

Outside of Kinmen, the headquarters was busy again.

"Report! A time traveler claims that the concept of time has appeared in the primordial world!"

"There is a being called Zhulong who actually claims to have created the Great Dao of Time!"

"How is that possible? Time can be created too?"

The high-ranking officials were terrified: "Investigate thoroughly! Confirm its authenticity!"

"We contacted most of our compatriots who survived to that time, and they confirmed that it was true."

"Where is Commander-in-Chief Huang Can? What did he say?"

"Report! The commander-in-chief is resting; he denies everything we said."

Amidst the flurry of activity at the command center, a deputy commander slammed his hand on the table!

"We were hoping this person could offer some help, but it was of no use at all!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Continue the investigation, exchange information, and mobilize all our compatriots who have traveled through time, assigning one-on-one responsibility to each of the surviving heroes!"

"Oh, right!" The deputy commander grabbed someone, who turned out to be Cui Jue: "Go ask that comrade Chen Geng what his insights are about this Great Dao of Time?"

"Commander Li, are you sure you want to allocate resources for one-on-one support? This is equivalent to reducing the survival chances of other mythical creatures."

General Liu Yu, a member of the General Staff, was somewhat worried: "Once they return and find out what we've done, it could cause a huge backlash."

"I've made up my mind." Commander Li said seriously.

"The mythology of the three races is extremely dangerous, but considering the current situation, I have reason to believe that it may be the 'source' of other mythologies!"

"If this argument is true, then any deciphering of the myths of the three races will be the most advantageous weapon for mastering the myths of the others!"
