Big Brother left the Chaos Pearl and the Nine-Turn Profound Origin Technique behind, then departed from Chu Yi.
[ Ding! Heaven and earth have just been created. Please choose.]
[Choice One: Be born immediately. Reward: three complete laws.]
[Choice Two: Keep hiding and stay unborn, until the end of time. Reward: ten thousand years of cultivation.]
Hearing the system's voice, Chu Yi came back to his senses from his grief.
Three complete laws?
With the three laws he already had, he would be able to master six laws.
As for the second choice... ten thousand years of cultivation...
System bro, this joke isn't funny.
What use was ten thousand years of cultivation?!
At the beginning of the Primordial World, time was the cheapest thing there was.
The mighty ones all began their seclusions in epochs.
"Before the world was created, I was timid and cautious, terrified that the moment I was born, those Chaos God-Demons would set their sights on me! But after the world was created... the surviving God-Demons have already been crippled by Big Brother. What do I have left to fear?!"
So, I choose...
To be born!
At a thought from Chu Yi, his aura suddenly surged.
Rumble!
In Heaven Beyond Heaven, a violent fluctuation burst from an Azure Lotus.
All of heaven and earth trembled.
The next moment, the Azure Lotus crumbled and scattered, vanishing into the chaos beyond Heaven Beyond Heaven. Only a spherical embryo remained.
Then cracks appeared across the embryo...
A tall, straight figure slowly emerged from within.
He had a well-proportioned build, with flawless lines of muscle. His handsome, masculine face would have captivated countless young women back in the world he had transmigrated from!
The aura around him was powerful.
He had mastered three complete laws, refined numerous Origin Fragments, and been touched by the merit of Creation!
Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, eighth heaven.
"Only the eighth heaven of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm?"
Chu Yi frowned...
To be honest, he was a little disappointed, but... it was enough.
At the very least, in this newly created Primordial World, he would be invincible!
The fleeing God-Demons had all suffered damage to their origins, and they had also severed their Three Corpses... With Chu Yi's eighth-heaven Primordial Origin Golden Immortal cultivation, he could absolutely crush them.
Besides, Chu Yi had two Chaos treasures in his possession. There was no room for surprises.
[Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Innate Law of Metal, the Innate Law of Water, and the Innate Law of Wood!]
"Now the Innate Law of Five Elements is complete. System bro, you came through."
The Innate Law of Five Elements could only rank somewhere in the middle among the Three Thousand Laws.
But the Five Elements generated and overcame one another. When all five laws were used together, they could rank among the very best.
"Big Brother entrusted the Primordial World to me before he left. I can't let him down."
Chu Yi made his plans in secret.
In the end, the Primordial World would be ruled by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
The Investiture of the Gods era was still passable, but the Journey to the West era was especially bad... By then, the hundred clans had dwindled away... and it had become almost impossible for a powerful being to emerge in the Primordial World.
Even Sun Wukong, who had excellent natural talent, had been ruined by the West.
Hongjun stood alone above all others. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the Two Sages of the West were merely his supporting cast... A fine Primordial World had fallen into decline.
He absolutely couldn't let things go according to the arrangements of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
"These things can be plotted out slowly. First, I should pay attention to what comes next." Chu Yi's mind raced.
After the world was created, the corpses, origins, and baleful energy of the Three Thousand God-Demons would transform into Primordial World beasts.
The beasts would slaughter one another and ravage the Primordial Continent. This was the Beast Tribulation that followed the creation of the world.
These beasts were far too savage... There was no need to show them mercy.
"The beasts aren't urgent. The Innate Divine Beings will join forces to deal with them in time. What matters most right now is keeping an eye on the Three Pure Ones.
"The Three Pure Ones were formed from Big Brother's Primordial Spirit, making them as good as his sons... which makes them my nephews, Chu Yi's nephews. I absolutely can't let them follow the path of the Three Corpses."
[ Ding! The host has been born. Please choose.]
[Choice One: The host heads to the Primordial World, establishes a sect, proclaims himself its ancestor, and enlightens all living beings. Reward: ten thousand years of cultivation.]
[Choice Two: Open a grand palace in the chaos beyond Heaven Beyond Heaven. Reward: one complete law.]
Seriously... ten thousand years of cultivation again?
Damn!
System bro... are you serious?
You're forcing me to choose the first option!
Chu Yi grumbled.
"Now that the world has been created and heaven and earth have just settled into place, the Heavenly Dao should be about to be born. It really wouldn't be wise to enter the Primordial World now, lest the Heavenly Dao influence me."
Right, he would open a grand palace in the chaos beyond Heaven Beyond Heaven first.
Heaven and earth had just separated, and the land was still murky.
Though Yin and Yang had been established across the Primordial Continent, and space, time, and the power of the Five Elements had appeared...
the corpses of the Three Thousand God-Demons slain by Great God Pangu had all fallen upon the Primordial Continent.
As a result, a towering baleful energy permeated the land.
As time passed, the vicious energy and corpses of the God-Demons gave rise to beasts!
The beasts were savage beyond compare. They devoured one another and grew stronger.
Ten thousand years later, the number of beasts had reached the billions.
They wantonly ravaged the land and mountains of the Primordial World, their destruction nearing its peak.
It was said that before Chaos came into being, there was an era called the Beginning.
The Great Dao was born from that Beginning.
After Pangu created the world, the Great Dao manifested, evolving the acquired Five Elements and Yin-Yang, so that all things had their opposites.
The Great Dao harmonized with the will of the Primordial World. Through its unseen workings, it gradually formed an order to govern the Primordial World.
But no matter how the Great Dao evolved, it could never fully govern the Primordial World... so little by little, it lost certain things.
Thus...
The Great Dao had fifty paths, while Heaven evolved forty-nine, leaving one to escape.
The will of the Primordial World... the Heavenly Dao was born.
From that moment on, the Heavenly Dao began to exert its influence over all living beings in the Primordial World.
The Slaughter God-Demon's body had been destroyed. He wandered through the chaos beyond Heaven Beyond Heaven, searching for Origin Fragments so he could reforge his body and restore his origin.
He did find some Origin Fragments belonging to God-Demons.
For example, a Destruction Origin Fragment from the Destruction God-Demon and an Origin Fragment from the Anger God-Demon.
"I wonder if that little embryo has been born yet... If the brat has emerged and runs into me, how could I possibly survive? Secluding myself in Chaos is too dangerous. Better to flee into the Primordial World..."
At a thought, he vanished from where he stood.
At the far western edge of the Primordial Continent stood a vast, unbroken mountain range...
It was called Mount Sumeru.
The Slaughter God-Demon roamed the Primordial World for a long while before finally choosing to settle there.
The baleful energy on Mount Sumeru was thick. He liked it.
After ten thousand years of seclusion...
A cold aura of slaughter suddenly bloomed across Mount Sumeru.
The tremendous fluctuations made the newly born heaven and earth tremble.
The Slaughter God-Demon had not healed his origin, but he had already forged a new body.
Boom!
At that moment, a long spear wreathed in baleful energy shot toward him.
The Slaughter God-Demon reacted quickly and grabbed the shaft.
It was the stem of the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus, transformed by the fierce, baleful energy of heaven and earth—the Heavenly Dao's ominous treasure, the Godslayer Spear!
The moment Luo Hou gripped the Godslayer Spear, he knew it had been made for him.
At the same time, boundless baleful energy poured out of the Godslayer Spear and flowed into the Slaughter God-Demon's body.
The Slaughter God-Demon did not resist... He let the power burrow into his body.
A few years passed.
He opened his eyes... For some reason, he had forgotten most of his memories from before.
"From this day forth, my name, bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, is Luo Hou. From this day on, I shall prove the Dao through slaughter! I shall settle on Mount Sumeru and found the Demon Clan!"
It was said that before Chaos had opened, there had been a strand of innate Dao-Qi, shaped like an earthworm... After being tempered by Chaos for countless years, it took form as the Dao-Qi God-Demon.
During the battle between Pangu and the God-Demons, his body was shattered by the blade's radiance of Great God Pangu, and his Primordial Spirit fled deep into Chaos!
After Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth, his Primordial Spirit came to the Primordial Continent.
At last, he reformed his body on the Primordial Continent.
But he, too, had been affected by an unseen force, and some of his memories from before had vanished.
"From this day forth, my name is Hongjun."
Clad in a Daoist robe, Hongjun raised a hand and began divining.
A moment later, his eyes widened. "Hahaha! It seems Western Kunlun holds a fated opportunity for me."
With that, Hongjun hurried toward Western Kunlun.
Western Kunlun was vast and filled with abundant spiritual energy.
As soon as Hongjun arrived, he was drawn to a radiant treasure somewhere in Western Kunlun.
"That's... the Fortune Jade Disc?"
