Deep in chaos.
Ling Tian felt the endless darkness around him and looked utterly speechless.
"I only stayed up late reading a Primordial World novel. How did I end up transmigrating?"
"My good lord, please don't let me have transmigrated into the Primordial World..."
Ling Tian muttered to himself.
Right at that moment,
a mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang out...
[Beep!]
[Host detected awake. God-Tier Selection System activated!]
[Host's arrival point: the middle period of the Dragon-Han Tribulation. Please choose...]
[Choice One: Devour Yuanfeng and take her place. Reward: Chaos Bell.]
[Choice Two: Become the fetus in Yuanfeng's womb. Reward: Chaos Green Lotus.]
[Choice Three: Be born at random. Reward: one Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.]
God-Tier Selection System?
Dragon-Han Tribulation?
Yuanfeng?
Ling Tian stared at those words, stunned.
The thing he'd feared had actually come to pass!
He really had transmigrated into the Primordial World!
And in the terrifying era of the Dragon-Han Tribulation, no less!
Compared with the later Witch and Demon Tribulation and Investiture of the Gods Tribulation,
the Great Dao had yet to withdraw during the Dragon-Han Tribulation, and Great Experts were everywhere.
Transmigrating into the Primordial World at this time was an absolute nightmare of a start for Ling Tian.
Fortunately, he had successfully activated the system.
If he'd transmigrated into the Primordial World without a system,
Ling Tian would've been better off smashing his head against a block of tofu and dying!
"Thank goodness..."
After finally calming himself, Ling Tian looked at the three choices again...
Choice One would let him replace Yuanfeng and earn the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell.
At first glance, it seemed pretty sweet.
But as a fan of Primordial World novels, Ling Tian knew all too well how Yuanfeng's story ended.
And the system was offering him a bell right at the start.
Its malice...
couldn't be more obvious!
Choice One was out of the question!
As for Choice Three, he'd be born at random and receive a Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation...
There were countless species in the Primordial World.
Who knew what he might be born as?
If his foundation was trash, then even a Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation would be useless!
He'd still end up as cannon fodder in the tribulation!
Choice Three was out, too!
That left...
Choice Two as the only remotely safe option...
Becoming the fetus in Yuanfeng's womb!
Not only would it give him a chance to escape the tribulation,
but he'd also have the Phoenix Clan as a backer in the early stages.
Most importantly, the reward was the Chaos Green Lotus!
Great God Pangu, who had created the Primordial World, was born from the Chaos Green Lotus!
Though figuring out how to refine it would be a major problem,
getting the chance to be nurtured under conditions similar to Great God Pangu's was an immense opportunity!
With that thought,
Ling Tian didn't hesitate any longer.
"System, I choose Three!"
As soon as the words left his mouth,
Ling Tian's True Spirit trembled and turned into a streak of light, flying toward the Primordial World.
The streak seemed insignificant, yet it easily tore through the Primordial World's barrier and fell toward the Southern Ming Undying Volcano...
At this time, the Primordial World
was still recovering from Shen Ni's recent fall.
The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were enjoying a period of peace as they digested what Shen Ni had left behind.
Though the three clans inevitably had some conflicts, they were still far from being sworn enemies.
The Primordial World was thriving!
But nobody knew that...
Demon Ancestor Luohu had already broken through to the Late Stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
A vast conspiracy targeting the three clans—and the entire Primordial World—was quietly unfolding...
Southern Ming Undying Volcano.
Yuanfeng was tall and statuesque, with peerless beauty and an air of regal authority!
But the moment she returned to her cave,
she immediately stripped off her purple gauze dress, kicked off her shoes, and exposed her delicate white feet.
Her brows and eyes plainly showed her barely restrained fury.
"Everyone's gone mad! Everyone!"
"So what if I don't have a Dao companion? So what if I haven't borne any children?"
"That Fire Phoenix King actually wants to become my Dao companion?"
"Where did he get that confidence?"
Yuanfeng was fuming, calling herself "this old lady" with every other breath. She didn't seem like the slightest bit like the Phoenix Clan's leader.
At the same time,
a soft, sweet voice slowly spoke...
"Sister, don't be angry. As long as you don't agree, they wouldn't dare force you."
The speaker was none other than the Phoenix Clan's Saintess, Qing Luan.
Hearing this,
Yuanfeng remained furious, her teeth grinding together.
"It's all the fault of Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin. They're already lecherous enough themselves."
"Then they go and have children with trash foundations, and keep coming to brag to me about them."
"Infuriating! Infuriating!"
"..."
Trash foundations?
Hearing Yuanfeng's words,
Qing Luan couldn't help looking a little helpless.
The children of First Qilin and Ancestral Dragon weren't the trash Yuanfeng claimed they were.
They were beings with top-tier foundations.
The Great Sun Heavenly Dragon, soon to be born into the Dragon Clan, was said to have a foundation that might reach the High Grade Innate Being level.
And the Crown Prince of the Qilin Clan, Sacred Kirin, also had a High Grade Innate Being foundation.
Their foundations were only a step below those of Yuanfeng, First Qilin, and Ancestral Dragon, the three Supreme Grade Innate Beings.
In other words,
Ancestral Dragon and First Qilin had both borne children with powerful foundations.
Only Yuanfeng...
had no children to speak of.
She didn't even have a Dao companion!
This left the entire Phoenix Clan deeply worried.
The Phoenix Clan's elders had fretted themselves sick over Yuanfeng's love life and the matter of having children.
Just like this time,
they had even thought of arranging for Fire Phoenix King, one of their own, to become Yuanfeng's Dao companion...
"Sister, actually, what they said does make some sense..."
Qing Luan had barely started speaking when she felt Yuanfeng's fierce glare.
Qing Luan immediately covered her mouth and said no more.
Seeing this,
Yuanfeng grew even angrier.
How could she not know what Qing Luan meant?
But looking across the Primordial World, who could possibly be worthy of her?
Yuanfeng was far too proud to ever lower herself to another.
Not even for a top-tier Great Luo like Fire Phoenix King!
"Hmph!"
"With me protecting the Phoenix Clan, who needs children?"
"I, Yuanfeng, will never get pregnant!"
As soon as the words left her mouth,
Yuanfeng's whole body jolted, and she stared at her belly in disbelief.
Rumble!
Thunder boomed in the highest heavens!
The world changed color!
Above the Southern Ming Undying Volcano, a colossal Spiritual Energy Vortex suddenly appeared.
Five-Colored Spiritual Light swirled without end!
And deep within the Southern Ming Undying Volcano,
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
A rhythmic heartbeat, growing stronger from faint to powerful, appeared in the hearts of every member of the Phoenix Clan.
What was this?
Following the direction the sound came from,
the Phoenix Clan members all looked toward the depths of the Southern Ming Undying Volcano.
There!
Was the cave of Yuanfeng, leader of the Phoenix Clan.
But they didn't know...
At that very moment, Yuanfeng was staring blankly and muttering to herself.
"This old lady... is..."
"Having a flutter?"
The cultivation realms in this Primordial World can be divided as follows:
Mortal → Human Immortal → Earth Immortal → Heavenly Immortal → True Immortal → Golden Immortal → Grand Unity Golden Immortal → Grand Unity Golden Immortal → Quasi-Saint (Chaos Golden Immortal) → Saint (Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal)
