The Northern Darkness has a fish, its name is Kun

Within the Chaos, the world had yet to open, space and time were in disarray, and earth, water, wind, and fire raged unchecked.

The Three Thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, each wielding the laws of the Great Dao, pursued the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Among them, Pangu, the God of Strength, was the first to achieve realization, intending to use the Heaven-Opening Axe to shatter the Chaos and prove the Great Dao.

Thus, the Heaven-Opening Tribulation erupted!

The multitude of Chaos Gods and Demons were ultimately no match for Pangu and suffered heavy casualties, but through their attrition, Pangu's attempt to prove the Dao was also declared a failure.

However, the heavens and earth had already opened, Yin and Yang were separated, and the clear and the turbid were initially distinguished.

After Pangu fell, his body transformed into the Primordial World.

Unlike the dead silence of the Chaos, the Primordial World was a scene full of vitality, where countless innate races began to multiply and cultivate.

The Northern Region of the Primordial World served as the primary battlefield for the confrontation between the innate races and the fierce beasts during the Calamity of the Fierce Beasts.

The destruction of war, combined with the fierce Sha Qi left behind by the massive number of dead beasts, had taken its toll.

By now, the depths of the Northern Border had become a desolate polar region, where cold winds howled and life withered.

Only the areas near the North Sea, which provided easy access to marine resources, still supported the survival and reproduction of a few tribes.

Deep within the North Sea, a consciousness gradually awakened.

Lin Bei recalled the events of his day.

He had just started his vacation and was planning to go out for a stroll to stimulate the economy.

As it turned out, his boat capsized while he was rowing in the park, and when he woke up, he was here.

After sensing his current state, Lin Bei felt that he must be some unknown, peculiar creature, currently in the embryonic stage of development.

Since there was nothing he could do for now, he had no choice but to remain still.

Yet, after an unknown amount of time, things resembling inheritances began to merge into Lin Bei's consciousness.

With the help of these inheritances, Lin Bei gradually understood his current predicament.

After spending a great deal of time completing the reception of the inheritance, Lin Bei pondered to himself:

It seems I have transmigrated into the Primordial World, and I've become that unlucky fellow, Kun Peng.

After understanding the situation, Lin Bei still felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, the original Kun Peng had not yet developed spiritual intelligence, which gave him the opportunity to occupy the nest.

Otherwise, with Lin Bei's weak soul, he would likely have been devoured by Kun Peng the moment he arrived.

The reason he hadn't received the inheritance immediately was likely because his consciousness and body were still in the process of merging.

This current body was still in a state of gestation, which made the fusion so easy.

Lin Bei estimated that the current timeline was likely before the struggle between the Demonic Dao of Hongjun and Luo Hou, right in the midst of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans contending for supremacy.

Kun Peng, let alone taking human form, was currently in the "wet" or "egg" stage of being born from moisture or eggs.

As an Innate God, there would be no danger before the time for his birth arrived.

With his initial survival secured, Lin Bei had to think about his future development.

If things followed the original script, Kun Peng's experience was not exactly pleasant.

Looking among his peers, Kun Peng's combat strength was easily in the top twenty of the Primordial World.

Yet, he didn't possess a single Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure worth mentioning.

As an Innate God, Lin Bei believed that Kun Peng might have had some ordinary innate spirit treasures, but the battles at his level were all high-level affairs.

Anything below a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure was of little use.

The only time he had any luck was perhaps when Kun Peng snatched a prayer mat representing a Saint Position at Purple Cloud Palace, only to be implicated by that meddlesome fool, Hong Yun, and lose his seat.

Whether it was due to the impact of losing the prayer mat or not, Kun Peng's subsequent fate was even more miserable.

While he was cultivating peacefully in the North Sea, the two brothers Di Jun and Tai Yi came knocking, gave Kun Peng a sound beating, and forced him to hand over a wisp of his True Spirit, compelling him to join the Demon Race and work like a beast of burden.

In the final battle of the Calamity of the Witches and Demons, Kun Peng backstabbed the Demon Race, successfully took his revenge, and snatched the Hetu and Luoshu, finally obtaining something of value.

As it turned out, the Hetu and Luoshu were related to the Dao path of Fuxi, and Fuxi was the older brother of Nüwa.

Clearly, Kun Peng would never be able to keep the Hetu and Luoshu.

From then on, Kun Peng could only, like the many great powers who failed to become a saint, gradually fade into obscurity.

At the thought of Kun Peng's experience, Lin Bei felt a sense of sorrow.

Even if he stayed hidden after taking human form, Kun Peng's origin was too perfectly suited to Di Jun's definition of the Demon Race.

With the deductive capabilities of the Hetu and Luoshu, they would certainly not miss out on a "talent" like Kun Peng.

When the time came, those two unlucky brothers would surely come knocking, using both soft and hard tactics, threats, and inducements.

Regardless, he had to cultivate first and raise his cultivation level.

Once he was born, he would see if he could find more spirit treasures to arm himself and make some reliable fellow Daoists; perhaps then he could escape this calamity.

As an Innate God, he possessed his own method of inheritance.

The cultivation technique inherited by Kun Peng is called the The Great Void Two Forms Art. Beyond this, there are also inheritances in alchemy, artifact refining, and formations, as well as several great divine abilities.

The cultivation realms of the Primordial World, from low to high, can be divided into:

Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Golden Immortal of the Origin, and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Each major realm can be further subdivided into four minor stages: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak Stage.

At this time, Hongjun has yet to become a saint or begin preaching the Dao, so naturally, there is no mention of Quasi-Saints or Saints.

As for the Golden Immortal of the Origin and the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, these are merely Lin Bei's speculations based on the memories of his previous life.

After all, the inheritance methods of Primordial cultivators can only reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but for now, that is sufficient.

Cultivators of Kun Peng's generation all rely on the method of Cutting off the Three Corpses, passed down through Hongjun's preaching, to achieve further breakthroughs.

Cultivation has no end, and the Primordial World keeps no record of years.

Immersed in cultivation, one can truly ignore the passage of time.

Countless Yuanhui passed, and when Lin Bei finally withdrew from his immersive cultivation, his physical form had fully manifested.

A Giant Kun lay horizontally in the depths of the North Sea.

At this moment, three oaths echoed throughout the Primordial World.

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Zu Long, am willing to sacrifice my True Spirit. May the Dragon Race serve the Primordial World and maintain the Eternal Guard of the Four Seas!"

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Yuan Feng, am willing to sacrifice my True Spirit. May the Phoenix Race serve the Primordial World and suppress the Undying Volcano!"

"Heavenly Dao above, I, Shi Qilin, am willing to sacrifice my True Spirit. May the Qilin Race suppress the lands of the Primordial World!"

"May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!!!"

The oaths of Zu Long, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin announced the exit of the three innate clans, and the war between Hongjun and Luo Hou regarding the Demonic Dao was about to begin.

For Lin Bei, with the Dragon Race retreating, the vast region of the Four Seas would remain in a safe state for a long time.

Although he had not yet transformed into a Dao Body, he could already freely shift between his Kun and Peng forms, and his cultivation had reached the Peak Stage of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

Given Kun Peng's foundation, he would need to reach at least the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm to formally take on a human shape.

Just then, Lin Bei sensed an extremely heavy aura in the distance.

However, this aura did not give him a sense of threat; instead, it felt like a call.

With a flicker of thought, Lin Bei swam toward the source of that aura.

Upon drawing closer, Lin Bei discovered that the source of the aura was a massive Mystic Turtle.

If one were to compare their sizes, the creature's volume was many times larger than that of Kun Peng's Kun form.

This must be the Mystic Turtle that would later be used to mend the heavens.

Lin Bei pondered in his heart: What does he want with me?

"You..."
