Primordial: Hiding in the North Sea While All Races Hail Me as Emperor

Lu Chen transmigrated into the Primordial World and became the Black Tortoise hidden in the depths of the North Sea's Return to Ruin.

While others transmigrated to contend for sainthood, he looked down at his four legs and instantly felt his scalp go numb. After Gonggong smashed Mount Buzhou, wasn't the Black Tortoise Nuwa would need to kill to repair the heavens... him?

Fortunately, the

Myriad Calamities Return-to-Ruin Selection System

awakened. So long as he avoided great calamities and remained in secluded cultivation to preserve his life, he could obtain the Return-to-Ruin Womb Membrane, the Black Tortoise Sea-Suppressing Formation, and the Chaos Shell-Shedding Art.

Lu Chen only wanted to pull his shell in tight and lie low until the Journey to the West. Yet after casually taking in several small refugee races, the Return to Ruin unexpectedly became a holy sanctuary where all races could escape calamity.

He repeatedly insisted that he would not fight for supremacy or claim the title of emperor, but all living beings knelt and cried out, "Emperor Lord of the Mysterious Abyss!"

The dragon clan invades? Suppress them and make them guard the gate.

The Great Calamity of the Three Races? Remain in seclusion and watch from the sidelines.

When Nuwa repaired the heavens, she personally descended upon the North Sea to slay the Black Tortoise. Every being in the Primordial World believed Lu Chen was doomed.

Yet using the system's

Chaos Shell-Shedding Art

, Lu Chen left his old body behind for Nuwa to support the heavens with, while his true body completed its transformation from within the shell.

His old body bore Heaven's mandate.

His new body gained freedom.

The merit of supporting the heavens, the merit of repairing the heavens, and the fortune of the north all converged upon one person.

On that day, the myriad northern races emerged from the Return to Ruin as one.

Only then did the saints realize that the North Sea Black Tortoise-who proclaimed every day that he would never claim the throne-had long possessed the power to truly rule the entire Primordial World.
