Ferocious Beast Calamity, Anomaly Emerges

After returning from the River of Time, Shichen no longer allowed himself to be distracted.

He sat cross-legged on a Prayer Mat, the azure light around him drawn inward as he devoted himself wholly to nurturing his origin.

Though the damage from the collapse of his Dao body was not fatal, it had affected the foundation of the Dao of Time. It would need to be refined slowly before it could be fully restored.

He remained seated for several hundred Chaos Eras, while the Chaos World quietly underwent changes of its own.

After the Creation of Heaven, its origin fed back into everything, and the Great Dao Laws became clearer. Many Dao rhythms that had once been vague were now within reach. Taking advantage of this opportunity, many Demon Gods broke through their bottlenecks.

Fate Demon God, in particular, used the origin fed back by the Creation of Heaven and his insights from the evolution of the Dao body to glimpse the essence of the Fate Laws. He shattered through his restraints in one stroke and steadily entered the Chaos Realm.

Thus, Chaos gave birth to its fourth Chaos Realm titan.

Fate Demon God rose to his feet, feeling the surging power within him. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he looked toward the Time Domain and murmured,

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

As news spread, the Demon Gods all had their own Thoughts. The first four had already entered the Chaos Realm. The opportunities brought by the Primordial World were far richer than anyone had anticipated.

On this day, azure light suddenly rippled across the Time Domain.

The long-silent Dao of Time slowly surged, and the roar of the river spread through every corner of the Domain of Dao.

Shichen slowly opened his eyes. Fragments of time flickered in his pupils before finally settling into calmness.

"My origin has finally been restored."

He clenched his fist, sensing the abundant power within him, then shook his head slightly.

"Chaos Realm, Fourth Heaven. Advancing further in the Chaos Realm truly is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Several hundred Chaos Eras of cultivation have merely made my foundation a little more stable."

As his words fell, he suddenly recalled something and looked toward the Primordial World.

After the Creation of Heaven, the Great Dao had altered the flow of time between Chaos and the Primordial World. Several hundred Chaos Eras amounted to only a little over ten thousand yuanhui in the Primordial World.

"Over ten thousand yuanhui... it should be getting lively by now."

With a light tap of his fingertip, a strand of azure light reflected a miniature image of the Primordial World.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes had already been born and were multiplying throughout heaven and earth. Ancestor Minghe had emerged within the Sea of Blood, and countless innate beings had taken the stage. The Primordial World presented a flourishing scene.

At the peak of Yujing Mountain, a white-haired figure leisurely brewed tea.

After consuming the Chaos Origin Fruit, Hongjun's cultivation had long been stabilized at the peak of the Primordial Unity Ninth Heaven. Yet the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao had not been established, and the fortune of heaven and earth had yet to unify, leaving him unable to touch the threshold of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

In his daily life, aside from searching for innate spiritual treasures, he drank tea, observed the world, and patiently waited for the right opportunity.

During his search for spiritual treasures, he had also unexpectedly found several fragments of the Pseudo-Creation Jade Butterfly.

Though they were imitations, they still bore the patterns of the three thousand Great Daos. They lacked the depth of the real thing, but were more than sufficient for deducing Laws.

Suddenly, a blood-red light shot into the sky from the Far West Lands!

A violent will of Destruction rose from the ground, accompanied by a furious roar that shook the entire Primordial World.

"I am Shen Ni! Emperor of the Primordial World's Fierce Beast Clan! Today, I emerge to defy the heavens!"

Before the roar faded, countless streaks of blood-red light soared into the sky. Led by the four great Ferocious Beasts—Hundun, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie—Ferocious Beasts across the mountains and plains howled as they charged out of the ancient wilderness. Their baleful aura swept through the entire Western Wasteland.

All living beings in the Primordial World felt their hearts tremble, as if the end of the world had arrived.

On Yujing Mountain, Hongjun's hand holding the teacup froze in midair.

His brows furrowed as his gaze pierced through the clouds toward the Far West Lands.

Within the aura Shen Ni had unleashed just now, he had clearly sensed a familiar fluctuation of Law. It carried a violent intent to destroy all things—the orthodox Great Dao of the Destruction Demon God.

Fortunately, he had obtained the Pseudo-Creation Jade Butterfly and comprehended the three thousand Laws within it. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to notice.

"Shen Ni... could he be the Destruction Demon God's backup plan?"

Hongjun set down his teacup and lightly tapped the table with his fingertips.

Dao Venerable Shichen wanted him to control the Primordial World, and several other peak Demon Gods wanted to control it as well.

If he personally eliminated the Destruction Demon God's backup plan, he would inevitably earn the Destruction Demon God's hatred. Yet before learning about the backup plans of the other Demon Gods, he could not expose himself so easily. He would have to kill with a borrowed knife.

His gaze deepened as he gave Thought to his plan.

Yet no one noticed that Taotie's eyes were somewhat strange among the four great Ferocious Beasts.

It shook its enormous head, digesting the memories flooding into its mind. Its entire body was stunned.

It had transmigrated?

And it had transmigrated into the Primordial World, where gods and Buddhas walked everywhere.

It had even become Taotie, one of the Primordial World's four great Ferocious Beasts?

It was over. It was over...

Although it possessed the strength of a Taiyi Golden Immortal the moment it was born, once the Ferocious Beast Calamity arrived, he would ultimately be sealed in the Kunlun Forbidden Land, never to rise again. This opening was simply hell difficulty!

Just as it panicked, a mechanical voice rang out in its mind.

[Ding! Supreme Fierce Beast System binding successful!]

[The system will lead the host to become a Primordial Great Golden Immortal and the ruler of the Primordial World.]

[Host detected: Taotie. Current situation: the Ferocious Beast Calamity is about to begin.]

Taotie froze, then was overwhelmed with Joy.

A system!

Sure enough, it was the indispensable cheat of every transmigrator!

"Hahahaha! I really am the child of Heavenly Mandate! Hongjun, Heavenly Dao, just wait until I become a Primordial Great Golden Immortal—the Primordial World will belong to me!"

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

Meanwhile, within the Time Domain far away in Chaos.

Space rippled slightly as Pangu's towering figure stepped out. Before he even arrived, his voice came first.

"Brother Shichen, you're awake too!"

Shichen turned around and saw that Pangu's aura was calm and heavy, several times more profound than it had been during the Creation of Heaven. His brow rose.

"Looks like you gained quite a bit after the Creation of Heaven. You actually advanced directly to Chaos Realm, Third Heaven."

"Hahaha, a minor breakthrough, just a minor breakthrough!" Pangu scratched his head and laughed heartily, then turned serious.

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

"I saw it."

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

"Should we get rid of them?" Pangu clenched his fist.

"Get rid of them?" Shichen smiled, his tone indifferent.

"To us, what does a mere anomaly amount to?"

Pangu was briefly stunned, then burst into laughter, his voice shaking the Domain of Dao.

"True enough! Whatever anomaly it is, it's no more than a matter of one finger!"

"Besides." Shichen looked toward the Primordial World, amusement glinting in his eyes.

"With anomalies stirring things up, the future Primordial World will be more Thought-provoking, won't it?"

"That makes sense!"

Pangu stepped forward, familiarly hooked an arm around Shichen's shoulder, and pulled him outside. "Forget about that for now! Come on, come on, let's go drink at Yang Mei's place! We've slept for several hundred eras—I haven't tasted the wine he brews with Chaos Spirit Liquid in ages!"

Shichen smiled helplessly and did not resist, allowing Pangu to drag him toward the Space Domain.
