As the first Innate Divine Being to be born, Li Fan was rewarded with Worldly Fortune by the Primordial World. It was not much, but it was still wonderful. Li Fan was very satisfied.
As a divine being, one had to know contentment and revere heaven and earth.
Wangshu said, "Cultivate well. You are still too weak right now, so do not go to the Primordial World. The remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods have not yet been dealt with."
Sure enough, the Primordial World was far too dangerous. He should cultivate first. Divine beings still in gestation could cultivate their Origin Laws with twice the result for half the effort, as heaven and earth directly imparted them. Cultivating anything else was not nearly as effective.
Even Li Fan, who prided himself on being stubborn, could not endure the turtle-slow cultivation speed of the Law of World.
After being born, with the Jade Plate of Creation's assistance, his Law of World advanced rapidly.
Time trickled by, and before he knew it, one eon had passed. During this cultivation session, Li Fan raised his Law of World to the realm of a True God.
But time was the greatest enemy. One eon was 5.6 billion years. When he had first transmigrated, all he did was cultivate. He had nearly gone mad from the loneliness.
Only sleep could help. Later, he came up with a method: dreaming. He comprehended the Law of Dreams and used it to strengthen his mind and will.
He had many dreams. At first, they were urban stories, then martial arts tales, then fantasy worlds. He wrote scripts for himself. In the beginning, they were all protagonist-torturing nightmares, but later they became pleasant dreams.
In the urban dreams, the Dragon King returned. In the martial world, he became number one under heaven. In fantasy, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Once his mind and will had been strengthened, he woke from his dreams.
Being human and being a divine being meant standing at different heights and thinking differently. People and gods both changed. Li Fan could clearly feel that his emotions and thoughts were different from before and after his transmigration.
During this cultivation session, he sorted through his Innate Inheritance and created a cultivation method for himself, naming it the Nine Revolutions World Record.
His incomplete origin was a major problem. Even if he entered seclusion again, he would not break through to Venerable God anytime soon. He should leave seclusion and ask Wangshu.
Most of the time, Great God Wangshu sat beneath the Moon Laurel Tree, observing the Primordial World. She was the quintessential shut-in.
"Great God, is there any way to help me complete my origin?"
Wangshu chuckled. "Very simple. Eat what you lack. Just eat some Demon God origins from the Primordial World. The Demon Gods are causing havoc in the Primordial World right now. Every now and then, they stir again. They never truly die."
"Is there another way?" These goddesses from the dawn of creation truly had nerve. She made it sound simple, but Li Fan did not want to compromise the purity of his origin.
This was an innate benefit granted to Innate Divine Beings. Besides, the Demon Gods were not truly dead. That was terrifying.
What if one day they revived inside his body? These Demon Gods were ruthless. He would be in deep trouble.
Wangshu pondered for a moment. "Then it will be troublesome. The simpler method is an Innate Spiritual Treasure. It must be a top-grade Spiritual Treasure or above with the same origin. One probably will not be enough. A Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure would be best."
"After all, Innate Spiritual Treasures possess Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light. Their origins will slowly recover, so it is not a major problem."
Li Fan thought, There is a method, and I have the treasure as well. But the biggest problem is that I cannot shake the origin of the Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. It is a deadlock. I have to rely on outside help.
He could only trust the Great God. Life rarely offered many chances to gamble. Cultivation was what mattered most. In this era, Li Fan severely lacked a sense of security.
"Great God, this is my accompanying Innate Spiritual Treasure. Please lend me a hand, Senior."
Wangshu replied gently, "All right. You little fellow have quite good fortune. It seems you are no ordinary little fellow either, to actually possess a Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. Keep it safe when you go out in the future. Be careful not to let anyone steal it."
"Isn't it because I trust you, Great God? Hehe!"
When Wangshu used the Lunar Law, Li Fan fully felt the power of a Da Luo Venerable God. That soul-freezing chill even affected Li Fan's will.
So strong. When will I be able to attain the Great Luo Dao as well? Once Great Luo is attained, it remains attained forever. My ability to preserve my life would be maxed out. I'm so envious!
The Jade Plate of Creation resisted fiercely, but it was useless. Soon, two masses of "origin" were extracted before Li Fan.
Wangshu's voice carried a hint of surprise. "Your Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation actually contains Lunar Law. You should know how to repay others, right? Do not worry. Let me borrow your Spiritual Treasure to study it for a while. I will return it to you afterward."
"Thank you, Great God. Please take it and study it as you wish."
Wangshu smiled. "Seeing how sincere you are, I will place a Divine Prohibition on you later. Otherwise, someone with a fragment of the same origin will sense you at close range."
"There are several deities who possess fragments, each with varying degrees of incompleteness. Otherwise, once you leave Taiyin Star, you will most likely be robbed. I wonder who holds the main fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation."
Li Fan knew it was with Hongjun, but what could he do even if he knew? He could not take it. He could only think about it.
He would never tell anyone about the secret of having transmigrated from the lower reaches of the River of Time. He understood the principle that an innocent man could be punished for possessing a treasure.
In this Prehistoric Universe, staying alive came first. Li Fan's plan was to always be ready to flee whenever he could survive in chaos.
Having transmigrated to the Prehistoric Universe, he could witness magnificent sights and meet all manner of great gods. He could also glimpse the secrets of heaven and earth.
The Prehistoric Universe was so vast that without attaining Great Luo, one would struggle to glimpse its boundaries in an entire lifetime. No matter which direction one looked, Mount Zhou could be seen.
This time, Wangshu took the Jade Plate while Li Fan took the origin. Both entered seclusion.
The Innate Divine Prohibition Guarding Taiyin Star was fully activated. Li Fan could feel the formation's power. It was far stronger than his Guardian Formation, the Innate Reincarnation Grand Formation.
Of course, Zhou Mountain's Divine Prohibition Grand Formation was even stronger. Even Hunyuan Grand Unity might not be able to break it. His sense of security was completely maxed out.
All beings in the Primordial World saw that the "moon" had become brighter than the Taiyang. During the Primordial Era, the sun and moon had always hung high above the heads of all beings.
No one was dissatisfied, nor did anyone dare to be. Could they defeat divine demons with home-field advantage?
"What is Moon Goddess Wangshu doing again?"
Doumu Yuanjun Ziguang murmured, "Wangshu, has your cultivation improved again? It seems I cannot slack off either. I will continue birthing stars. Let us see who truly is the First Goddess of the Starry Sky."
Li Fan decided to absorb the Law of World origin first and leave the Law of Reincarnation origin alone for now. Completeness had its benefits, but incompleteness had its advantages as well.
Changing cultivation paths had never been easy. An incomplete law was actually faster to convert. As he cultivated the Law of World, the origin within his body would change along with it.
Once he cultivated the Law of World to Venerable God, which was the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he could slowly absorb the Reincarnation Origin. That would strengthen his origin and increase his cultivation speed.
Taiyi was easy to cultivate, but Great Luo was difficult to attain. The Great Luo here referred to the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, not the Grand Unity Golden Immortal of Later Generations. That title had no real value, considering that Grand Unity Golden Immortals in the Later Generations' Witch-Demon Era were as numerous as dogs.
The realm divisions of the Primordial Era were truly simple and crude. By the standards of other fantasy novels, Heavenly God through True God could each be divided into the Thirty-Six Heavens. The same applied from True God to Venerable God, and from Venerable God to Da Luo Venerable God.
Being born well was not as good as being born early. By Later Generations, there were only a few among the Three Thousand Innate Divine Beings who had cultivated to the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
You could be sitting safely at home when disaster fell from the sky. You wanted to remain in gestation until reaching your limit before being born? Dream on. These Innate Divine Beings were still too naive. Mount Zhou even collapsed in Later Generations. That was absurd.
Top-Grade Innate Divines were better off. The other Innate Divine Beings could only resign themselves to their misfortune. Once you were born, what could you do? If you wanted to overturn heaven, had you asked whether those fist-sized sandbags agreed?
Thinking about it that way, it makes sense. Mount Zhou underwent a huge change in Later Generations. Most Innate Divine Beings were probably even more unlucky than I was. We are all pitiful people. Being born voluntarily and being forced into birth are not the same.
So that is why these Innate Divine Beings with complete inheritances went to listen to Hongjun's teachings during the Witch-Demon Era. The Prehistoric Universe is simply too dangerous!
Whether I should cling to Immortal Ancestor Hongjun's thigh can wait. First, I will cultivate to Venerable God and then leave seclusion. Keep going!!!
