"Strange! Why is it so quiet around here?"
Leaving the bamboo forest, Chi Yu drifted along and arrived at an unusually quiet mountain forest.
Logically, this place with lush vegetation should be bustling with activity. Even if there weren't any demonic beasts, there should at least be birds, insects, and wild animals!
But this place was extremely quiet, so quiet it felt like something big was about to happen, making one feel uneasy!
Chi Yu shivered, feeling a pang of fear!
"Oh my god! Did I run into ghosts? Bah, bah, bah~ This is the Primordial World!"
"Besides, I'm a Golden Immortal, why would I be afraid of ghosts? Speaking of which, did the concept of ghosts even exist during the Ferocious Beast Calamity?"
"Hmm? Why is it suddenly foggy?"
Suddenly! In the dense mountain forest, wisps of white mist began to drift, making the forest even more eerie.
"Not good! It's drifting towards me! Hurry, let's go!"
Chi Yu turned to run back, but the mist was drifting too fast. It quickly engulfed Chi Yu like a speck of dust.
"Ah~ I can't see! I can't see!"
Everything around was a hazy blur, and one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
"What should I do? I don't have any sense of direction here. I really wish I had a compass right now!"
"Rumble!"
"Crack~"
A towering tree not far away collapsed.
Following that, a monster with a scorpion's tail, a human's body, and a deer's head walked past Chi Yu.
"Oh my god! Did something just walk past me?"
Dizzy and disoriented, Chi Yu didn't know whether to walk or stay put, frozen in place.
A short while later, another monster walked past.
Not far away, trees kept collapsing with rumbling sounds.
"Boom~"
"Roar~"
"Hiss~"
A strong light suddenly dispersed the mist, making what was happening ahead clear at a glance.
Chi Yu wiped his eyes in astonishment.
"What~what kind of monster is this?"
Two Unknown Fierce Beasts were engaged in a fierce battle.
Chi Yu hesitated, wondering if he should run now, but then he thought carefully.
"Isn't this a great opportunity to increase my cultivation! I can't miss it!"
While Chi Yu was dithering.
The fierce beasts fought! There were no fancy moves.
They rammed into each other, then whipped their tails, followed by biting and tearing. There weren't even the grand special effects one might imagine.
Chi Yu, having recovered, pouted.
"Tch~ Do they not have any cultivation techniques or divine abilities? The most primitive way of fighting?"
(Good heavens! Just now you were frozen stiff, scared to death, and now you're critiquing them. You have a remarkably large heart!)
"How about I go up and try?"
Chi Yu gathered all his strength, preparing to butt in.
"Let's do it! What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll be a hero again in 200,000 years!"
"Charge~"
Using all his might, Chi Yu charged towards the space between the two beasts.
Just as they charged towards each other!
The surrounding pressure increased greatly, and Chi Yu couldn't get close at all.
When the two beasts collided, an even greater pressure instantly sent Chi Yu flying.
"Ah~ My fault~"
And then there was no "then"!
When Chi Yu woke up, he found himself in a Special Space.
"Hiss~"
"Those two fierce beasts just now had at least Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak cultivation. What a pity!"
"Hmm? Where did I get thrown to?"
He saw azure all around him. Looking down, a massive Lotus Platform appeared before Chi Yu.
It shimmered with Azure Light, looking like jade but not quite, appearing exceptionally noble and sacred.
"Is this the Creation Green Lotus?"
Chi Yu was greatly shocked! Then he burst into laughter!
"Hahaha! I stumbled upon an opportunity, I truly am the protagonist, my luck is boundless!"
"I'm inside the Green Lotus?"
While happy, Chi Yu was also confused.
"Hey! You kid!"
Suddenly, a voice entered Chi Yu's ears.
"Who?"
Chi Yu was startled and looked around.
"Cough cough! Stop looking left and right, I'm talking to you, you speck of dust!"
"Huh? You can see me?"
"What, are you the Great Dao? You think I can't see you?"
"Uh~"
Chi Yu, having calmed down, bowed to the Void!
"May I ask, Senior, who are you? And why are you in this space?"
"What? Kid, you're inside my body, and you're asking me why I'm here?"
"Inside my body~ You~ You're the Creation Green Lotus?"
Chi Yu looked at his surroundings with a shocked expression.
"To be precise, I am the manifestation of a wisp of consciousness from the Creation Green Lotus."
Chi Yu paused, then asked:
"May I ask, Senior, did you absorb me in?"
"You kid, if I hadn't saved you, you'd have been flung to who knows where by now. A mere Golden Immortal, recklessly charging into a battle between Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals!"
"But your life is quite tough! To only have passed out, that's truly strange!"
"Wh-what? A battlefield of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals?"
"Hmm? You don't know?"
"My heavens, you're really something else!"
"Uh~"
"Young man, thank you, Senior, for saving me!"
"It's nothing! I found you quite interesting, and just happened to take a breath."
Chi Yu smiled helplessly.
"Right, Senior! This space, why couldn't I find it in the outside world?"
"Oh~ You're talking about this! That was before I was born. I was protected by an Innate Great Array, which could shield Heaven and Earth. Unless I willed it, no one could detect or investigate it."
The Creation Green Lotus answered confidently.
"Right! I actually overlooked that!"
"Kid, what are you muttering about?"
"Oh! I wanted to ask, Senior, how do I get out?"
"Hahaha! You still want to get out? I'm afraid that's not possible! Before my birth, I cannot leave this Great Array, and you are inside my body, so~ do you understand?"
"Ah? Then what should I do?"
"May I ask, Senior, how much longer until your birth?"
"This~ this is! It will be a long time! At least two Yuanhui! Hmm~ roughly so!"
"According to the rules, I can open the Great Array if I encounter a fated person. As for who this fated person is? When they will arrive here? I don't know! I don't know!"
"Ah~"
Chi Yu fell onto the Lotus Platform in despair.
"It's over! My Cultivation Undertaking!"
"But~"
Chi Yu was startled! There was more to come.
"But what?"
"However, I can choose to graft karma onto you. This way, you can leave this place."
Chi Yu was delighted!
"R-really? Senior?"
The Creation Green Lotus suddenly sighed sadly.
"Alas! I fear my time is short! It won't be long before my consciousness dissipates into this Heaven and Earth!"
"Wh-why is that?"
"Kid, do you want to hear my story?"
Chi Yu nodded.
"Back then, my former master, Great God Pangu, split Heaven and Earth and battled three thousand Gods and Devils. Beneath his feet was this Chaos Green Lotus..."
"After the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, five lotus seeds remained, transforming into the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus, Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus, Twelve Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, Twelve Grade World Destruction Black Lotus, and Twelve Grade World Cleansing White Lotus."
"And I am the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus formed from the largest lotus seed of the Chaos Green Lotus."
"As for why my consciousness is dissipating prematurely into this Heaven and Earth! It is greatly related to the current Ferocious Beast Great Calamity. I took it upon myself to watch over my master's world, forcefully using my origin to continuously suppress the Tribulation Qi generated by this great calamity for tens of thousands of years. To this day, my origin is on the verge of collapse, with little left."
"So! Little brother, I see we have a connection. Before I dissipate, let me exert my remaining strength to help you escape!"
Chi Yu was deeply moved and politely asked:
"May I ask, Senior? How can I save you?"
The Creation Green Lotus was stunned!
"Hahaha! I never expected this! You're a kind soul, kid! Good! A promising talent! Wonderful, wonderful!"
"But it's useless! Don't waste your efforts, kid! Your current cultivation is not enough to touch upon the origin!"
"Rest assured. Although my consciousness will dissipate, my true form will remain. After merging with you, it will be like starting a new life!"
"The road ahead is long! Let me lend you a hand!"
"Wuwuwu! I'm so touched!"
Chi Yu, with snot and tears streaming down his face, nodded repeatedly at the Creation Green Lotus.
"Alright! A strong person should act like one, don't cry like this!"
"I hope you can achieve the unfulfilled wish of my master, reach that realm, and see that world."
"And help me take a good look at this new world my master created, after all... I haven't seen it yet~"
"Don't worry, Senior! I will! I swear upon the Great Dao!"
"Hmm! No need to swear! I see you have good character and can be trusted."
After speaking, the consciousness of the Creation Green Lotus suddenly became even more ethereal.
"Kid! That's all I'll talk about with you. From now on, it's up to you!"
"Senior!"
"Don't be sad! Clear your mind!"
Chi Yu felt very distressed.
He paused, then cleared his mind.
The space changed dramatically, and the green lotus slowly rose, the surrounding azure mist gradually dissipating.
Then, the green lotus grew smaller and smaller, until it was the same size as Chi Yu. With a swish, it entered Chi Yu's body.
"Kid! Live well! Live well for me! I'm leaving~"
The consciousness of the green lotus completely dissipated, and the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus completely merged with Chi Yu.
Warm currents flowed through his entire body. Chi Yu quickly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.
At the same time! The system notification sounded!
[Ding! Detected special attack!
Enemy: Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus (Innate Supreme Treasure)
Let them be strong, you are stronger!
Congratulations to the host for upgrading your physical cultivation to Mid-stage Golden Immortal (Quasi-Saint).]
It wasn't over yet!
[Ding! Detected a large amount of Creation Law!
Congratulations to the host for a 50% increase in Comprehension of the Creation Law.]
This absorption and fusion took a thousand years.
On this day, the azure qi on Chi Yu's body gradually disappeared.
A moment later, Chi Yu opened his eyes.
"Hoo~"
"Finally, the fusion was successful! Speaking of which, others unseal their magic treasures, what is this for me? Am I taking a shortcut? Hehe!"
"But! My strength seems to have become even more powerful, completely different from before."
"System! Check personal attributes!"
Stronger System:
[Host: Chi Yu
Primordial Spirit cultivation: Golden Immortal Peak
Physical cultivation: Golden Immortal of the Origin (Quasi-Saint)
Origin: Primordial Azure Qi Sand Dust
Laws: Thunder (1%) Poison (5%) Creation (50%)
Companion Supreme Treasure: Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus.]
Upon checking, Chi Yu was shocked!
"My heavens! This~ my physical cultivation is Golden Immortal of the Origin now? And how did this Creation Green Lotus become my Companion Supreme Treasure?"
Suddenly, he vividly remembered what the Creation Green Lotus said before its consciousness dissipated.
"Is this what the Senior meant by another way to live a new life?"
"If that's the case, then let's forge a new world together!"
The Creation Green Lotus had successfully fused with him, and this Great Array was about to dissipate. Chi Yu got up, preparing to leave.
But the moment he stood up, he realized something was wrong!
"Uh~ this~ good heavens! How did I get bigger?"
Yes, Chi Yu had grown! He was now the size of a basketball from his previous life, to be precise, a yellowish-brown meatball with Azure patterns.
"Uh~ How can I hide now? I won't be able to sneakily gain cultivation anymore!"
Chi Yu looked helpless.
(Good heavens! You sly old fox! You're already a physical Quasi-Saint, and you have the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus as your Companion Supreme Treasure, and you're still thinking about sneaking cultivation? Why not just go all out and fight?)
After a moment of melancholy, seeing the Great Array dissipate, Chi Yu finally saw the light of day again.
A few Sparrows on a distant tree flew over, looking at the meatball with confusion.
"Hahaha! I, Chi Yu, am finally out!"
Hearing Chi Yu speak, the Sparrows were startled and scattered in all directions~
