Within the chaos, although countless demon gods were being born, the chaos was simply too vast. Thus, despite their numbers, it remained deathly silent most of the time.
Even when demon gods occasionally battled one another and stirred up earth-shaking turmoil, compared to the entire chaos, it was still incomparably insignificant.
At the very center of the chaos, a Green Lotus was being nurtured.
The lotus had thirty-six petals, and atop it rested a Giant Egg.
The Giant Egg pulsed like a heart without pause. Each beat absorbed boundless Chaos Qi, and as time passed, it gradually began to emit an aura like that of some peerless fiend.
That aura was vast, ancient, and utterly terrifying, leaving not a single living being in the center of the chaos daring to approach.
Yet there were always exceptions.
On this day, the center of the chaos welcomed a second life.
A strange sound rang out through the center of the chaos. A Mystic Tortoise—one could not say whether it was large or small—paddled its limbs as it drifted through the chaos.
Calling it small would not be quite right, for this Mystic Tortoise was at least ten thousand zhang long.
But if one called it large, then before the Green Lotus and Giant Egg, it was merely a Small Turtle.
At that moment, this Small Turtle—let it be considered small for now—was drifting toward the Green Lotus and Giant Egg, seemingly wholly unaffected by the terrifying aura emanating from the Giant Egg.
Within the Giant Egg, a great consciousness slowly awakened upon sensing something foreign approach.
Feeling the Small Turtle drawing near, that great consciousness could not help but feel conflicted.
He did not understand why a demon god had ignored his pressure and come here.
Now was not yet the time for him to be born. If he forcibly emerged, it would likely lead to many unforeseen errors.
But if he did not emerge and no one dealt with this Small Turtle, that would not be proper either.
Although he sensed no threat from this Small Turtle, it was still a Chaos Demon God.
After struggling with the matter for quite some time, the great consciousness ultimately decided to wait and see.
That was because he discovered why the Small Turtle had ignored his pressure—the Small Turtle was asleep, merely drifting by instinct toward a place where Chaos Qi was denser.
This discovery left the great consciousness deeply depressed.
How big did this Small Turtle's heart have to be to fall asleep without any guard at all in the dangerous chaos?
No one knew how much time passed before the Small Turtle finally drifted over along the chaotic currents.
With a bang, the Small Turtle slammed headfirst into the Giant Egg.
Then, with a smack, it landed on the Green Lotus with all four legs in the air.
The collision seemed to wake the Small Turtle. It opened its tiny, bleary eyes and looked around innocently—Who hit me?
Naturally, it saw nothing.
So the Small Turtle yawned. Feeling that the Chaos Qi here was quite dense and comfortable, it flopped down and went right back to sleep.
The great consciousness within the Giant Egg was completely speechless.
To be honest, the moment the Small Turtle woke up from the collision, he had been ready to forcibly emerge. Chaos Demon Gods were born as beings opposed to him. Though this Small Turtle seemed harmless, it was still a Chaos Demon God.
However, he had not expected this Small Turtle to ignore him completely and go back to sleep—could the pressure he emitted possibly be fake?
Logically speaking, any Chaos Demon God should have been extremely sensitive to his pressure!
He sensed the Small Turtle lying beside the Giant Egg and finally confirmed that it truly was asleep.
After being silently speechless for a while, the great consciousness sank into silence once more.
Now was still not the time for him to be born.
Since the Small Turtle truly posed no threat, there was naturally no need for him to emerge early.
The chaos did not mark the years.
In the blink of an eye, an unknown number of years passed.
During that time, the great consciousness woke several times. Yet every time he awoke, apart from seeing the Small Turtle sleeping, he only saw it change positions and continue sleeping.
Other than growing a little larger, the Small Turtle had undergone no changes whatsoever.
The great consciousness was utterly speechless.
Perhaps there were oddities even among Chaos Demon Gods.
That was the only explanation he could come up with.
Shen Gui transmigrated.
He transmigrated into the chaos.
Why the chaos?
Because aside from chaos, Shen Gui could not think of any other word to describe this place.
Everything was gray and hazy, and apart from that, there was almost nothing.
Since he had transmigrated into the chaos, naturally he could not have transmigrated into a human.
Still, although Shen Gui had mentally prepared himself, he could not help feeling a little depressed when he saw his true body.
Why a turtle?
Even if he was a turtle, being born in the chaos probably meant he was no ordinary turtle. But of all things he could have become, why a turtle?
Of course, that was not the only thing depressing Shen Gui.
Transmigration was one thing, but where was the promised cheat?
Shen Gui had not sensed any inheritances or other messy things at all. Aside from becoming a turtle, he felt no changes in himself, and there were no cultivation techniques or inherited memories in his mind.
That was a little too much.
This was the chaos!
Pangu was going to create the heavens and earth in the future!
Though he did not know what identity he had, since he was a living being in the chaos, he was most likely a Chaos Demon God. If so, he was bound to get struck by an axe in the future!
But the problem was, he had no cultivation technique!
Shen Gui felt utterly helpless.
If he could not cultivate, would he not be doomed when Pangu created the heavens and earth?
Helpless, utterly helpless.
Then Shen Gui felt very sleepy.
Extremely sleepy.
Was this worthy of a turtle?
Then Shen Gui fell asleep.
Since he had no cultivation technique anyway, worrying was useless. He was so sleepy, so he might as well sleep first.
Even if he was going to die in the future, he could not die from sleepiness, right?
He slept for an unknown number of years.
When Shen Gui woke up, he felt that he had grown somewhat larger and that his body had become stronger.
But he was still sleepy.
Shen Gui thought, could this be a transmigrator's benefit?
Could he grow stronger even while sleeping?
Or was it because he had become a turtle?
Fine, he hoped it was the former.
Still, no matter what, becoming stronger was good. At least when he got struck by an axe in the future, he might have a chance to keep his little life.
Although there was not much meaning in a turtle staying alive, a miserable life was still better than a good death.
He casually plucked a little white flower from a nearby Chaos Boulder, tucked it atop his head, and fell asleep again. (Don't ask where flowers came from in the chaos~)
This time, because a weight had been lifted from his heart, Shen Gui slept far longer than he had the first time.
While Shen Gui slept, his body constantly absorbed Chaos Qi. That was also why he grew stronger.
Or rather, this was how all Chaos Demon Gods cultivated.
Shen Gui did not understand Chaos Demon Gods, which was why he found it strange that he had no cultivation technique.
In truth, for Chaos Demon Gods, everything about them was more like instinct.
Cultivation was like that, and battle was the same.
Thus, while Shen Gui slept, his body instinctively began drifting along the chaotic currents toward places where Chaos Qi was denser.
Within the chaos, dangers were countless.
Some came from the chaotic environment itself, while others came from other demon gods.
Yet as Shen Gui drifted along, by sheer coincidence, he avoided every dangerous place as though it were instinctive.
And because he encountered no danger at all, Shen Gui remained asleep the entire time.
PS: It was a little annoying, so I came all the way to the first chapter to make a statement.
This was a lighthearted, comedic, laid-back novel.
So if you could not accept that, you could stop now. Do not read further and then come back to complain, wah wah wah.
One more thing: stop asking whether there was a group. The group number was in the book description.
