Fierce Beast Calamity, the Emergence of an Anomaly

After returning from the River of Time, Shichen no longer allowed his focus to wander.

He sat cross-legged upon his meditation cushion, the azure light surrounding him retracting inward as he immersed his heart and soul into nourishing his origin.

Though the damage from the disintegration of his Dao body was not fatal, it had still affected the foundations of his Time Domain, requiring slow refinement to reach perfection once more.

This sitting lasted for several hundred Chaos Epochs, during which the Chaos world underwent quiet changes.

Following the creation of the world, the feedback from the origin caused the Great Dao laws to become clearer. Many previously vague Dao rhymes were now within reach. Seizing this opportunity, many Demon Gods broke through their bottlenecks.

The Fate Demon God, utilizing the origin feedback from the world's creation and the insights gained from the evolution of his Dao body, glimpsed the essence of the Law of Fate. He broke through his shackles and stepped firmly into the Chaos Realm.

With this, the fourth titan of the Chaos Realm was born.

The Fate Demon God stood up, feeling the surging power within his body, and a smile touched the corners of his lips. He looked toward the direction of the Time Domain and murmured:

"Shichen, I have finally managed to catch up to you a little."

As this news spread, the various Demon Gods harbored their own thoughts. With the top four now in the Chaos Realm, the opportunities brought by the Primordial World were even more bountiful than anyone had anticipated.

On this day, the Time Domain suddenly shimmered with azure light.

The long-silent Law of Time began to surge slowly, and the sound of the river rushing echoed through every corner of the domain.

Shichen opened his eyes slowly, the fragments of time flickering within his pupils before finally settling into calm.

"The origin is finally restored."

He clenched his fist, feeling the fullness of power within his body, then shook his head slightly.

"The fourth heaven of the Chaos Realm. To advance further in the Chaos Realm is truly as difficult as ascending to heaven. Hundreds of Chaos Epochs of bitter cultivation have only served to polish my foundations to be a bit more stable."

As his voice fell, he suddenly remembered something and lifted his eyes toward the direction of the Primordial World.

After the creation of the world, the Great Dao had modified the flow of time between the Chaos and the Primordial World. Hundreds of Chaos Epochs, when placed within the Primordial World, amounted to no more than ten thousand Yuan eras.

"Ten thousand Yuan eras... it should be getting lively by now."

He tapped his fingertip, and a wisp of azure light projected a miniature image of the Primordial land.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes had already emerged, multiplying and thriving between heaven and earth. Ancestor Minghe had been conceived within the Sea of Blood, and a host of innate beings had stepped onto the stage; the Primordial World presented a scene of flourishing prosperity.

At the summit of Yujing Mountain, a white-haired figure was leisurely brewing tea.

After Hongjun swallowed the Chaos Origin Fruit, his cultivation had long since stabilized at the peak of the ninth heaven of the Primordial Zenith Heaven. However, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World had not yet been established, and the fortune of heaven and earth had not yet converged, so he could not yet touch the threshold of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

In his daily life, aside from scouring various places for innate spiritual treasures, he would taste tea and observe the world, patiently waiting for the right moment.

In the process of searching for treasures, he had unexpectedly found several fragments of the Pseudo-Creation Jade Butterfly.

Although they were imitations, they were engraved with the patterns of the three thousand Great Dao laws. While not as profound as the genuine article, they were sufficient for deducing laws.

Suddenly, a sky-piercing blood-red light erupted from the far west!

A violent, destructive will rose from the ground, accompanied by a roar that shook the entire Primordial World:

"I am Shen Ni! The emperor of the fierce beast tribe of the Primordial World! Emerging today, I shall defy the heavens!"

Before the roar had even faded, countless streaks of blood-red light shot into the sky one after another. Led by the four great fierce beasts—Chaos, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie—hordes of beasts roared as they charged out of the wilderness, their baleful intent sweeping across the entire Western Wasteland.

All living things in the Primordial World felt a collective palpitation, as if the end of the world had arrived.

On Yujing Mountain, the hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air.

Hongjun furrowed his brows, his gaze piercing through the clouds toward the far west.

In the aura that Shen Ni had just unleashed, he clearly sensed a familiar fluctuation of laws, carrying the baleful energy to destroy everything—it was the orthodox Dao of the Destruction Demon God.

Fortunately, he had obtained the Pseudo-Creation Jade Butterfly and gained insights into the three thousand laws from it; otherwise, it would not have been easy to discover.

"Shen Ni... is he actually a backup plan of the Destruction Demon God?"

Hongjun set down his teacup and tapped his fingertips lightly against the tabletop.

Dao Venerable Shichen wanted him to control the Primordial World, and the other top Demon Gods also wanted to control it.

If he were to personally eliminate the Destruction Demon God's pawn, it would inevitably invite the hatred of the Destruction Demon God. Since he did not yet know the backup plans of the other Demon Gods, he could not expose himself easily. He would have to borrow a knife to kill.

His gaze became profound as he pondered his plan.

Yet, no one noticed that among the four great fierce beasts, the eyes of Taotie were somewhat strange.

It shook its massive head, digesting the memories flooding into its mind, and the entire beast was stunned.

Transmigrated?

And transmigrated into the Primordial World, where gods and buddhas walked everywhere?

Moreover, it had become Taotie, one of the four great fierce beasts of the Primordial World?

It was over, completely over...

Although it currently possessed the strength of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal upon its birth, once the Fierce Beast Calamity arrived, it would eventually be sealed in the Kunlun Forbidden Land, never to rise again. This starting point was simply hell-level difficulty!

Just as it was in a state of panic, a mechanical voice rang out in its mind:

[Ding! Supreme Fierce Beast System bound successfully!]

[The system will lead the host to ascend to the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and become the master of the Primordial World.]

[Host detected: Taotie. Current situation: The Fierce Beast Calamity is about to begin.]

Taotie was startled, then overcome with ecstasy.

A system!

It truly was the essential golden finger for a transmigrator!

"Hahahaha, I am indeed the child of destiny! Hongjun, Heavenly Dao, just wait until I reach the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal; this Primordial World shall belong to me!"

It suppressed its excitement, stared at the panel rising in its mind, and began to calculate rapidly.

Far away in the Chaos, within the Time Domain.

Space rippled slightly, and Pangu's burly figure stepped out. His voice arrived before he did:

"Brother Shichen, you have awakened as well!"

Shichen turned back to see that Pangu's aura was dense and heavy, several times more profound than when he had created the world, and he could not help but raise an eyebrow:

"It seems you have gained quite a bit after creating the world; you have actually reached the third heaven of the Chaos Realm."

"Hahahaha, a small breakthrough, a small breakthrough!" Pangu scratched his head, laughing heartily, then turned serious.

"By the way, I just sensed that something different seems to have slipped into the Primordial World."

"I saw it."

Shichen nodded slightly. "An anomaly. No, counting the thing inside its body, it should be two."

"Should we deal with them?" Pangu clenched his fists.

"Deal with them?" Shichen smiled, his tone indifferent.

"To us, what does a mere anomaly matter?"

Pangu was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter that shook the domain:

"That is true! Whatever the anomaly, it is but a matter of a single finger!"

"Besides," Shichen looked toward the direction of the Primordial World, his eyes carrying a hint of amusement,

"With an anomaly stirring the pot, the future Primordial World will be much more interesting, will it not?"

"That makes sense!"

Pangu took a step forward and familiarly hooked his arm around Shichen's shoulder, pulling him along. "Forget about all that for now! Let's go, let's go, let's go drink with Yang Mei! I've slept for hundreds of epochs; it's been a long time since I tasted the wine he brews from Chaos Spirit Liquid!"

Shichen smiled helplessly, not pulling away, and allowed himself to be dragged toward the direction of the Space Domain.
