This Primordial World is Too Good! Attained Daluo! Ancestral Dragon! Annexing Rivers!

"If I refine the Great Dao of Water, take the Great Dao of Water as my core, then supplement it with the Dao of Wishes, I can lay my foundation, establish my core!"

"What advantage do I have in the Primordial World? My foreknowledge of the Primordial World, the countless versions of it I've read, and all those derivative works and wild what-if ideas about it—that is my greatest advantage!"

"The essence of the Wish Dao, the Great Dao of Realization, is like the reward granted after a system issues a mission and the mission is completed. The same applies even if it's changed into a variant."

"If I reveal future events to Primordial Life, which is to say, let Primordial Life fulfill their wishes, including changing the trajectories of their lives, then the karma involved can likewise obtain feedback from Primordial Life."

"If I develop on my own, how could that be as cost-effective as developing more people!"

"The Great Dao of Water can serve as my foundation, while the Dao of Wishes can serve as the support for my advancement and ascension!"

Tang Xuan's eyes brightened.

Fulfilling the wishes of Primordial Life? Changing the karma of life trajectories?

That was very hard for others, but for Tang Xuan, who understood the Primordial World, it could not be simpler!

The higher a lifeform's status, the stronger the source feedback it could provide him. There were so many powerful beings in the Primordial World. Leaving aside those farther away, just the Three Tribes and the Devil Race's Luohu from the Dragon-Han Calamity were his best customers.

To him, the Primordial World was a completely natural environment for growth—and also the best environment for growth!

Although limited by his status, or rather his cultivation, he still could not especially understand the system's operating principles.

But that was not important. As long as it could be used, that was enough. Who cared what its principles were? Once his cultivation was high enough, he would naturally be able to grasp them completely.

At this thought, Tang Xuan could not help laughing.

The danger of the Dragon-Han era?

Now, without a doubt, that danger had been solved as easily as splitting bamboo!

Who said the Primordial World was bad? Transmigrating to the Primordial World was... simply too good!

He loved the Primordial World far too much!

The system had come at exactly the right time!

Sure enough, the choices of those transmigrator seniors had not been wrong at all. Systems and the like had to be refined directly. Obey the system? Wait for the system's charity? What difference was there between that and being the system's puppet?

"First, I'll refine the Great Dao of Water. Although it's only a fragment, it is still a fragment of a Great Dao, enough for me to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm. With that, I'll have the capital to make plans."

"Otherwise, my current cultivation is too weak, and I won't be able to carry out anything at all."

Taking a deep breath and calming himself, Tang Xuan thought silently.

Although he now had the capital to rise, Tang Xuan naturally would not become inflated or careless. In a world like the Primordial World, acting arrogant was the true path to seeking death.

Now that hope had already been placed before him, this was precisely when he had to be even more careful and cautious.

"Seclusion!"

A million years later.

The spiritual energy within countless light-years around him suddenly gathered. Dense Innate Spiritual Energy turned into an endless rain of spirit droplets that continuously merged into the river, while a massive suction force formed vortex after vortex in the void.

As wave after wave of terrifying pressure spread, the entire river seemed to raise heaven-shocking waves, issuing bursts of immense rumbling and roaring.

Purple qi covered the sky, rosy light blazed, immortal charm filled the heavens, and Dao Principles were immeasurable.

After an unknown length of time, the entire river kept contracting, as if it were about to condense into a single heavy drop of water, revealing the damp riverbed at the bottom. Immediately after, the river water reappeared. Amid great surging ripples, the river split in two, and a figure slowly walked out from within.

His black hair fell to his waist. He wore a pale-blue robe, with a slender build, sword-like brows, and starry eyes. His aura was even more unfathomable, as if he had merged with heaven and earth, yet also seemed to be outside heaven and earth, leaping beyond the Three Realms and no longer within the Five Elements. Every movement of his hands and feet seemed to contain mighty power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Tang Xuan had attained Great Luo and successfully taken form!

"As expected of a Great Dao fragment. Refining only part of it allowed me to attain Great Luo, and my subsequent cultivation to the Hun Yuan Golden Immortal Realm will also be smooth and unobstructed."

"The calamity power between heaven and earth is growing denser. I can't continue secluding myself. It's time to begin acting."

Muttering inwardly, Tang Xuan turned back and glanced at his true body, the river. "So long as my true body is not destroyed, I will not die. It's somewhat similar to the Minghe of later generations. In that case, I don't need to worry about safety."

Letting out a breath, Tang Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked toward this vast, ancient, majestic, and magnificent Primordial World.

Although he had been in seclusion for this past million years, he had not merely been raising his cultivation. Naturally, he had also deduced how he should lay out his plans and how he should operate.

Some of the imaginative ideas and flashy maneuvers from his previous life were good, but they still had to be decided according to the Primordial World's circumstances. Most importantly, his little life was what mattered most.

Everything undoubtedly had to be carried out under the premise of preserving his little life.

Regarding this, the goal Tang Xuan set for himself was to develop cautiously against the wind. If he wanted to act without restraint, then he had to first become invincible with the wind at his back.

In novels, any kind of flashy maneuver was fine, but in reality, a person only had one life. How could he court death?

One could not become fat in a single bite. Taking one step at a time was the true kingly path.

Developing customers was necessary, and devouring rivers to continuously strengthen his true body was likewise necessary. Carrying both out at the same time was the best of both worlds.

If one day his true body spread throughout the entire Primordial World, and every river branch in the Primordial World became part of his true body, then even if his status had not risen by then, Tang Xuan would still dare to arm-wrestle a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

"The system still has a portion of Wish Origin stored. The amount of this Wish Origin is enough for the first step of my plan."

"I'll first use part of it to evolve fate and see which fated person will form a connection with me through karma in the unseen. Before that, I'll devour rivers first!"

Thinking silently, Tang Xuan's will moved. He condensed Wish Origin to evolve the convergence of fate, then raised a hand and pointed. A beam of divine light entered the void and vanished, while the faint powers of fate and karma echoed back through the emptiness.

Once he was done, Tang Xuan's figure flickered and left the spot.

In the East Sea Dragon Palace.

The Ancestral Dragon, who was in focused seclusion, preparing for the final battle of the Three Tribes to decide the sole overlord of the Primordial World, suddenly felt a wave of unease in his heart.

His eyes snapped open, and the Ancestral Dragon's brows furrowed slightly.

"My Dragon Clan clearly holds the Great Trend. Even if the Phoenix Clan and Kirin Clan joined forces, they would find it difficult to stand against my clan. Why do I keep feeling this unease? The Heavenly Secrets are in chaos; even trying to deduce exactly where the problem lies is extremely difficult..."

Muttering to himself, the Ancestral Dragon's expression shifted again and again. He drew in a deep breath, intending to continue his seclusion, yet found it impossible to enter a state of cultivation. After turning it over and over in his mind, the Ancestral Dragon still rose to his feet.

Forget it, forget it. If he had no mind to enter seclusion, then he would not. He would wander around the East Sea. Perhaps he might realize exactly what he had overlooked.

With that thought, the Ancestral Dragon rose, took one step forward, and directly sank into the void, vanishing from sight.

Beside a river within hundreds of trillions of kilometers of the shores of the East Sea.

Tang Xuan formed hand seals, and the illusory shadow of his true body appeared behind him. A rushing, ceaseless river was reflected at his back.

As an invisible roar suddenly rang out, Tang Xuan successfully merged his imprint into this river.

"Merge!"

With a light shout, the Great Luo Dao Fruit revolved, and an endless stream of magic power surged forth. Under Tang Xuan's control, the location of his true body released rumbling waves. The river water crashed forward, and the surging, unbroken current swiftly carved out a riverbed that connected to this river.

"Done."

Seeing that the range radiated by his true body had increased, and that even his magic power had improved slightly, a faint smile appeared on Tang Xuan's face.

As expected of the Great Dao of Water. Even refining only the barest scrap of its surface was endlessly useful. If this had been before, even if other rivers had not nurtured spiritual intelligence, Tang Xuan would never have been able to control and refine them at all.

"Expand the range of my true body to strengthen my origin, supplement that with refining the Great Dao of Water, then use the Dao of Wishes to condense a status and strengthen my essence, letting me transform step by step from a long river into the River of Time. This, then, shall be my Dao!"

While he was thinking, destiny and karma fed back from somewhere in the unseen, and Tang Xuan raised his head to look into the void.

Huh, karmic feedback already?

Tang Xuan's spirits lifted.

Then who would his first customer be?

Sensing the karmic feedback, a sharp gleam flashed through Tang Xuan's eyes.

The Ancestral Dragon?

Right out of the gate, one of the leaders of the Three Tribes?

Wasn't this an opening hand blessed by the heavens!

With a wave of his hand, Tang Xuan first concealed the original location of his true body, then used part of the Wish Origin to shield the Heavenly Secrets.

In all things, one naturally had to keep a steady hand. To guard against the unexpected, he still had to leave behind part of his true body. This way, he would not truly fall. Otherwise, if one careless move got him killed, would that not be the end of everything?

Sensing the origin he had remaining, Tang Xuan's eyes flickered, and he used another portion on himself.

"Everything is ready. Next, let's see whether this first victory will be a roaring success..."

Muttering inwardly, Tang Xuan transformed into a streak of light and sank into the river before him.
