Transmigrated to the Primordial World, I Became a Creation Green Lotus Waiting to Be Slaughtered

Before chaos opened, the primordial world had yet to take shape.

Endless chaos qi surged and roared. There was no heaven or earth, no sun or moon, and certainly no living beings—only an eternal gloom and fury that never changed.

The Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods occupied every corner, each commanding a Chaos Great Dao. Their auras soared to the heavens as they wantonly devoured chaos spiritual energy. The entire chaos was filled with icy slaughter and collisions between the laws of the Dao.

At the very heart of chaos, a giant who towered between heaven and earth sat quietly in meditation.

His body stood hundreds of millions of feet tall, his muscles knotted like primordial sacred mountains. When his eyes opened, they shone brighter than the sun and moon. In his hands he gripped a colossal axe that pierced through chaos, its blade swirling with the supreme divine might to split heaven and earth.

He was Pangu!

He commanded the Creation-Splitting Great Dao, took the opening of heaven as his duty, and sought to shatter chaos and bring a new world into being!

"Split heaven and earth!"

A furious roar shook the chaos and resounded through the nine heavens!

Pangu gripped the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe and swung it with all his might!

There was no earth-shattering spectacle—only a seemingly ordinary streak of axe light that cleaved through the endless chaos.

In an instant, chaos shattered!

Clear qi rose up and became heaven; turbid qi sank down and became earth!

Thus, the Primordial World was born!

But splitting heaven and earth defied the Great Dao, drawing the frenzied assault of the Chaos Demon Gods. Wielding his divine axe, Pangu slaughtered in every direction. All Three Thousand Demon Gods fell beneath the Sky-Opening Axe, but Pangu also exhausted every last drop of his divine power.

The newly formed heaven and earth were unstable and threatened to collapse back together.

To keep the Primordial World from perishing, Pangu held the sky aloft with his body, standing between heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years, until the world was completely stable and no longer in danger of collapse.

And he, too, was utterly spent, reaching the end of his life.

Just before his death, Pangu's body collapsed with a thunderous roar. His primordial spirit split into three and scattered across the Primordial World; his blood essence became twelve drops, giving rise to the Twelve Ancestral Witches; his muscles became mountains and earth, his blood became rivers, lakes, and seas, his hair became grasses and trees, his eyes became the sun, moon, and stars, and his breath became wind, rain, and thunder...

With his supreme body, he brought the entire Primordial World into being!

Endless creation-opening clear qi spread throughout the world, and spiritual energy filled the air. Everywhere was the purest innate energy. Countless innate spiritual roots and innate supreme treasures were born alongside the world and scattered across the Primordial World.

Amid the final aftershocks of the world's creation, a strange blue streak of spiritual light, filled with boundless creation aura, evaded all the baleful qi of creation. Like duckweed without roots, it drifted lightly into the newly born Primordial World.

The light fell and plunged straight into a lake at the center of a small world, where it quietly sank into slumber.

Time slipped by; the years flew past.

The Primordial World continued to evolve. The land rose, rivers surged, and innate spiritual energy grew exceedingly dense. Yet living beings remained scarce, fierce beasts had not yet been born, and everything was still in its most primitive state.

No one knew that within the blue spiritual light slumbering in this secluded small world lay a wisp of soul that did not belong to the Primordial World.

Countless immeasurable kalpas passed.

"Mm..."

A faint murmur of consciousness softly rang through the small world.

The blue spiritual light, long dormant, finally stirred. A hazy consciousness slowly awoke from its endless slumber.

The consciousness was blurry, as though separated from everything by a thick fog. It could not tell who it was or where it was. There was only boundless stillness and a warm, soothing aura lingering around it.

The aura was so pure that taking in even a wisp made the hazy consciousness feel incomparably refreshed. Its scattered thoughts gradually drew together.

As its awareness grew clearer, unfamiliar memories and inheritances from the Primordial World surged into its consciousness like a tide.

The owner of this consciousness was Li Changsheng.

When he had fully absorbed all the memories, Li Changsheng's entire consciousness froze. His hazy thoughts were instantly swallowed by overwhelming shock and panic!

He had transmigrated!

He had transmigrated into the legendary Primordial World!

This wasn't a myth or something made up in a novel. It was the real, newly born Primordial World!

And his true form wasn't an innate divine beast or an Innate Demon God, but an innate spiritual root!

A blue lotus rooted in the lake at the center of a small world!

"Creation Green Lotus! I'm actually the Creation Green Lotus!"

Li Changsheng's consciousness trembled wildly. A storm raged in his heart as fear wound around his every thought like a creeping vine, nearly suffocating him.

As a webnovel fan in his previous life who had read countless novels about the Primordial World, how could he not know the Creation Green Lotus's name?

It had formed from the core origin-seed of the Primordial Chaos Lotus. It was, in every sense, the foremost innate spiritual root in the Primordial World, containing the supreme Great Dao of Creation. It was the most heaven-defying treasure-grade spiritual root in the entire world!

But for Li Changsheng, this heaven-defying nature wasn't a blessing. It was a calamity!

Li Changsheng remembered clearly: in the story of the Primordial World, before Hongjun's lectures began, the Three Pure Ones—formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit—dismembered the Creation Green Lotus and turned it into three supreme treasures for proving the Dao!

Grand Supreme Elder Lord's Dragon-Headed Staff, Primordial Heavenly Venerable's Three Treasures Ruyi, and Lord Tongtian's Green Duckweed Sword had all come from the Creation Green Lotus!

In other words, he was now a fat piece of meat waiting to be carved up. Once the Three Pure Ones emerged, they would surely uproot him, tear him limb from limb, and refine him into their treasures for proving the Dao!

"What kind of hellish start is this?!"

Li Changsheng wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound. He was just a lotus flower—he couldn't even speak!

Even more despairingly, the laws of the Primordial World were strict, and innate spiritual roots were shackled by the Heavenly Dao from birth. The more powerful the spiritual root, the harder it was to take human form!

As a Creation Green Lotus, he was the foremost spiritual root in the Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao would never allow him to take form and enter the world!

Without taking form, he had no power to resist. He could only watch as others picked him, tore him apart, and refined him!

On one side was the fate of being torn apart by the Three Pure Ones; on the other, the Heavenly Dao's shackles, which made it impossible to take form. Two dead ends blocked every path to survival.

"I just transmigrated, and I'm already doomed to die?"

"Why me?! Other people transmigrate into the Primordial World and either latch onto powerful allies or get supreme treasures. I transmigrated here and went straight to the slaughterhouse as a sacrificial lamb?"

Li Changsheng was seething with resentment, despairing to the very depths of his soul.

Was his transmigration really going to end as soon as it began?

Just as he sank into utter despair, the timeline in his mind suddenly became clear. A faint glimmer of hope flared to life in his heart!

The time he had arrived in was just after the Primordial World had been created. The Monstrous Beast Calamity had yet to begin, and not even the first batch of innate lifeforms had been born. The Dragon-Han Tribulation and the emergence of the Three Pure Ones were still unimaginably far away!

What was more, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World was still forming. Its laws were incomplete, riddled with loopholes!

If the laws were incomplete, then perhaps he still had a chance to break through his shackles and successfully take form!

As long as he could take form, he could escape the fate of being a spiritual root. He wouldn't have to wait to be torn apart—he could survive in the Primordial World!

Since both choices ended in death, he might as well take a gamble!

With that thought, Li Changsheng suppressed his panic and despair. He stopped letting his thoughts run wild and began to urge the tiny bit of consciousness he possessed, instinctively drawing in the innate spiritual energy around him.

His true form was an unopened blue lotus, rooted in the lake beneath him.

Only now did he truly see the place where he had ended up.

The lake beneath him stretched out beyond sight, taking up half the small world. Its water was no ordinary color: scarlet, deep purple, and silvery white divine radiance intertwined and slowly flowed across its surface.

Where the three-colored light spilled out, even space rippled faintly. Every drop of water in the lake was innate spiritual liquid condensed over countless ages, billions of times more precious than any immortal water in the later Primordial World.

It was the renowned supreme sacred treasure, the Three Radiances Divine Water!

Above the lake drifted thick white mist, dreamlike and illusory, as though it were a celestial paradise.

The mist held an abundance of creation aura and innate Dao resonance. It drifted gently down onto the lotus petals, filling his true form with boundless vitality.

There were no natural enemies or conflicts in the small world, only an inexhaustible supply of innate spiritual energy. It was truly the foremost blessed land in the Primordial World!

Clearly, this small world was the Creation Green Lotus's natural home.

Li Changsheng dared not slacken in the slightest. He kept his consciousness tightly focused on his true form, frantically absorbing the three-colored divine radiance in the lake and the innate spiritual energy in the air.

Streams of incomparably pure energy flowed along the lotus stem and into the lotus itself. The petals, which had once looked somewhat pale, gradually turned lush and emerald green. Profound, intricate innate Dao patterns surfaced across them, shimmering with light and carrying the Dao resonance of creation.

The tightly closed bud grew plumper and more radiant, as though it might fully bloom at any moment, opening into the most heaven-defying flower in the Primordial World.

Time once again slipped by in silence.

A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years...

To the beings of the Primordial World, the passing years were but a snap of the fingers. Immersed in cultivation, Li Changsheng lost all sense of time.

He could clearly feel his aura growing stronger, the power of creation within his true form growing more immense, and the innate spiritual energy around him growing so dense it turned liquid and enveloped him completely.

But no matter how hard he tried or how much his cultivation improved, that invisible Heavenly Dao shackle remained locked tight around his true form. There wasn't the slightest sign of transformation.

It was as if "innate spiritual roots cannot take form" were an eternal law of heaven and earth, impossible to defy!

But at the thought of being refined in an instant, the flower bud above Li Changsheng's head nearly split open and bloomed on the spot.

No, he couldn't just give up like this. In his previous life, everyone in that mysterious eastern country had been a workaholic. He had even gotten into a top university!

If he worked himself to the bone here, he could not only preserve his life...

With his foundations, once he took form, he was sure to become a mighty figure!

Working hard was the way to go. If he didn't push himself now, when could he finally lie back and take it easy?

Push himself. Work himself to death! Li Changsheng refused to believe that, as a transmigrator, taking form wouldn't be a piece of cake!

"As long as the Heavenly Dao remains incomplete, I still have a chance! Even if the odds are only one in ten thousand, I'll fight to the end!"

Li Changsheng roused himself. The despair in his heart was completely replaced by resentment.

He threw himself into cultivation again, more frenzied and desperate than before!

He urged his entire consciousness to absorb the origin divine radiance from the depths of the three-colored lake and devour the small world's densest innate spiritual energy. His lotus stem plunged deeper and deeper, burrowing to the bottom of the lake to draw in the remnants of the world's creation-origin energy.

In between cultivation sessions, Li Changsheng used his ever-growing spiritual sense to carefully investigate the small world that sheltered him.

He hadn't known until he investigated. The moment he did, Li Changsheng was stunned.

This small world was far more wondrous than he had imagined!

Beyond the three-colored lake at its center, countless exotic flowers and rare plants grew across the land surrounding the small world. Every single one was an innate spiritual root that had vanished from the later Primordial World!

A three-inch-tall Innate Ginseng Seedling gave off a refreshing fragrance; a little tree hung with golden fruit contained boundless life Dao韵; and an immortal herb with crystalline leaves shimmered with rosy light. Any one of them would make later-era beings of the Primordial World fight over it!

Innate Vermilion Fruit, Nine-Turn Soul-Revival Grass, Innate Enlightenment Vine... There were too many to count!

Heavenly treasures covered the land, and innate spiritual roots grew everywhere. The entire small world was a mobile treasury of innate treasures!

Li Changsheng clicked his tongue in wonder, his heart full of wistful sighs.

No matter how good these opportunities were, he couldn't take form and pick them. In the end, they were just flowers reflected in a mirror and the moon in the water—visible, but untouchable.

So he still had to keep grinding!

Slacking off? Lying flat?

That was just waiting to die!

Grind a little harder, and grind out a happy life!

No one knew how many more long ages had passed.

Boom!

Terrifying vitality burst from Li Changsheng's true form.

A brand-new lotus leaf slowly sprouted from his emerald-green stem!

The leaf was larger and greener than the ones before it, and the innate Dao patterns on its surface were even more intricate and mysterious. With the slightest sway, it drew in vast quantities of innate spiritual energy from its surroundings. The power of creation it contained was denser than that of all his previous leaves combined!

Li Changsheng could clearly feel his strength had doubled!

The foundation of his true form was even more stable, and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao's laws had deepened by another degree!

Although he still hadn't broken through his shackles and taken form, he had indeed become stronger!

"There's progress! Real progress!"

"I haven't bloomed, but I've grown a new leaf. As long as I keep getting stronger, sooner or later I'll find a loophole that lets me take form!"

"The Three Pure Ones want to tear me apart? Once I take form, we'll see who's afraid of whom!"

By rights, he was their uncle. After all, the Creation Green Lotus had given rise to Pangu, so they were practically cousins.

Li Changsheng rejoiced inwardly, constantly reassuring himself. The taut string he had held tight for countless ages finally relaxed a little.

As long as there was hope, he wouldn't give up!

Life was looking brighter and brighter!

He was immersed in the joy of growing stronger, thinking about how to continue cultivating and break through the Heavenly Dao's shackles.

Just then!

A deep voice, laced with faint amusement, suddenly boomed in his sea of consciousness without warning!
