Sage Steps In as Producer! The Primordial World's First Album Is Born!
The voice was domineering yet deadly alluring, unlike human speech; it was more like a divine pronouncement containing endless melodies.
"I hereby accept you as my disciple!"
Every single word, deep within the Divine Soul of sound, exploded like a thunderclap that World Creation!
Yin's consciousness went completely blank for a moment.
He froze on the spot, his fingertips still resting on the simple animal sinew string, but his body trembled violently against his will.
Producer?
What is that?
Is he a higher-ranking official than the chief who distributes food in the tribe?
The thought had barely formed in his mind, before he could even process it, when an irresistible yet incredibly gentle force lifted him from the stage where everyone was watching.
The scene before my eyes changed in an instant.
Yin found herself in a wondrous space that defied description.
There is no heaven and earth, no sun and moon, only countless dazzling "sounds" flowing slowly.
The whisper of the wind, the flow of water, the explosion of fire, the clash of metal and stone... the sounds of all things in the world are transformed here into the most primordial lines of law, within reach.
A Daoist priest in a green robe sat casually cross-legged in the center of the void.
He exuded no aura of power whatsoever, and the terrifying sword energy surrounding him was not the legendary power to annihilate the entire world.
It was an aura of pure, unadulterated "fun," like a child who had found an unparalleled toy.
He was none other than the leader of the Interception Sect, the Saint Tongtian.
"Kid, your off-key tune is kind of interesting."
The Tongtian Jiaozhu looked with great interest at the young man before him, whose limbs were stiff and who was so nervous he was about to faint.
His gaze fell on the "musical instrument" bound together with animal sinews and broken wood in Yin's arms, and the Sage's brows furrowed instantly.
"Your cooking utensils are terrible!"
"That's like pouring sand into your ears, an insult to your intelligence!"
Tongtian grinned, revealing a set of white teeth; his smile was filled with the pure joy of about to start modifying a new toy.
"Fine! Now that I'm your producer, I can't let my artists use this kind of garbage."
"Come on, let me give you a good job!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tongtian pointed his fingers like a sword and made a seemingly casual, light slash at the void in front of him!
Laugh--!
A barely perceptible wisp of sword energy flew out.
Within that sword energy, there was no killing, no destruction, only endless creation and vitality!
The sword energy swirled in the void like a dragon, silently cleaving through space and time, and precisely dissecting Chaos wherever it passed.
A section of the Jianmu, which had been submerged in the depths of Chaos for countless billions of years, was lush and verdant, exuding the aura of the primordial creation of heaven and earth. It was forcibly dragged from the other side of the chaotic flow of time and space to the present moment by that sword energy!
"Go!"
Tongtian gave another soft shout.
This time, the Absolute Immortal Sword behind him, representing "end" and "destruction," emitted an irrepressible, joyful hum.
A crimson sword light flashed out, but it concealed all its killing intent, transforming into the sharpest and most skillful invisible carving knife in the world.
The sword flashed like lightning, swiftly traversing, carving, hollowing out, and polishing the branches of the Jianmu!
Countless wood chips flew everywhere, each one transforming into a lively musical note in mid-air before disappearing without a trace, without ever touching the ground.
In just a few breaths...
A guqin, with its simple and elegant design, smooth lines, and flowing blue divine light, seemingly born to resonate with the Great Dao, has already taken shape!
But this is just the beginning!
"A mere instrument body isn't enough; the soul lies within the strings!"
In high spirits, the Tongtian Jiaozhu did something that caught the attention of all the Sage in the heavens.
He directly extracted seven threads of law from the origin of his Sage Dao fruit!
On those silk threads flowed the supreme true meaning of his "Heaven-Severing" Great Dao!
One end is "life," and the other end is "death." The silk thread itself is the eternal "variable" captured between life and death!
He picked up the threads of law and personally stretched them one by one onto the body of the Jianmu.
The moment the seventh string falls and aligns with the body of the instrument.
Buzz--!!!
A profound zither melody, seemingly from the very beginning of time, the first vibration of the universe's origin, resounded throughout the entire space!
This is neither an acquired magic weapon nor Innate Spiritual Treasure.
This is a supreme artifact created specifically to embody the "Way of Music"!
"Take it!"
The Tongtian Jiaozhu tossed the "Dao Artifact Ancient Qin," a weapon powerful enough to splatter the brains of even a Quasi-Saint of the Primordial World, to the completely petrified Yin, as if throwing away a hot potato.
"From today onwards, you are the chief artist of my 'Jie Tian Entertainment'!"
"Play your piece properly for me! If you can't come up with anything new, I'll let you experience firsthand what true 'ear-piercing magic' really means!"
Tongtian threatened fiercely, but his holy eyes were filled with undisguised anticipation.
With trembling hands, Yin almost instinctively took the guqin.
It feels warm and smooth to the touch, like holding a living, breathing thing, rather than an inanimate object.
He placed the guqin across his lap, his fingertips falling gently and uncontrollably.
When his fingers touched the strings of the zither formed from the "Jie Tian Great Dao"—
Boom!
An unprecedented surge of information, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, instantly flooded his Divine Soul!
He "understood".
It turns out that the sound of the wind is not just a simple blowing, but a "freedom" that breaks free from constraints and rushes towards the distance.
It turns out that the sound of rain is not the cold sound of falling, but the "new life" of washing away all things and restoring them to purity.
It turns out that the sound of thunder is not a violent roar, but rather a display of the order of heaven and earth, an "awe-inspiring" force that cannot be challenged.
The laughter and singing of the tribespeople around the bonfire dispelled the darkness and ignited the "hope" for the future!
He is no longer imitating voices.
He is creating sound!
Yin's chest heaved violently, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance as he plucked the strings under the unseen gaze of the crowd.
The sound was no longer rough, no longer primitive.
Its clear and melodious sound, like Qingfeng from Beyond the Heavens, can disperse every speck of dust from the soul.
It is passionate, like ten thousand horses galloping, capable of igniting every spark of battle deep within one's blood.
It is profound, like the thick earth, capable of soothing all the wounds and sorrows of the world.
At this moment, music truly transformed into the "Tao"!
The sound of the Dao pierced through the independent space opened up by Tongtian, like an invisible ripple, instantly covering the entire Reincarnation Metaverse!
All the human players listening to this "concert" were jolted in unison.
They felt as if their souls were being gently lifted by a warm, large hand and immersed in the purest and warmest hot spring on the main road.
[Ding! You are listening to the 'Sound of the Great Dao'. Your soul is being cleansed, and your cultivation speed is temporarily increased by 10%!]
[Ding! You have grasped the true meaning of 'unity' from the music. When teaming up with teammates, all your attributes will temporarily increase by 5%!]
[Ding! You have been inspired by the indomitable spirit in the music, and your willpower has received a permanent, slight increase!]
A series of system notifications flooded the screen of every player!
The entire newbie continent has been completely ignited!
"Holy crap! This is just listening to music? This is cheating! This is Great Dao Infusion!"
"My God, I feel like the bottleneck I've been stuck in for half a year has finally loosened!"
"Sound! From this day forward, you are my god! God of Sound! My Lin Shen Coin is itching for more! One more song!"
The atmosphere at the scene instantly shifted from fervor to frenzy!
Countless Lin Shen Coin, roasted meat, ores, and some people even threw their newly built house deeds as "tips" onto the small stage like madmen.
The Underworld, Biyou Palace.
The Tongtian Jiaozhu watched as the "reward" records scrolled like a waterfall on the light screen, and as the Lin Shen Coin in his "Jie Tian Entertainment" company account grew rapidly.
He crossed his legs smugly and let out a hearty laugh like a barbell.
"Hahahaha! Second Brother, did you see that? This is the true path! The path of all living beings! Your cold, hard rules and regulations are nothing compared to my fun, nothing compared to how fast I make money!"
Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Tongtian's smug face, and then at the newly completed but deserted "Order Divine Court" in front of him. The Sage's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had to admit that the third brother's "entertaining the masses" tactic was indeed... quite skillful.
But just then...
A long sigh came from the Eight Sceneries Palace, Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
"Third brother, the sound of your zither is too intense, its Aura of Slaughter is too strong."
The calm and unwavering voice Laozi Taiqing slowly resounded.
"The way of music should seek nature and harmony in order to endure."
"Such blatant display of power is contrary to the principles of harmony between heaven and earth."
Before the words were finished, a wisp of Taiqing Immortal Light, thinner than a hair and almost non-existent, silently pierced through the void and landed on the "Jie Tian Dao Qin".
The sound of the guqin changed instantly.
That sharp edge that could sever and destroy everything was gently enveloped by a Daoist charm of "Pure and Inactive".
The music was still stirring, but it no longer had that biting edge; instead, it had gained a sense of vitality, as if everything was coming back to life.
The melody remains powerful, but it is no longer a towering wave; instead, it has transformed into Nourishing things silently spring rain.
The players who were listening felt their minds becoming increasingly calm and clear, all distracting thoughts disappearing from their minds, and their cultivation speed quietly increased by another 5% on top of what it was before!
Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Jiaozhu's smile froze on his face.
He turned around abruptly, glaring angrily in the direction of the Eight Sceneries Palace, and jumped up and down in rage.
"You Eldest Brother! What happened to 'non-interference'? You secretly added special effects to my artists!"
A battle over the production philosophy of the "Number One Musician of the Primordial World," a battle of Sage, has begun once again!
