Fuzhi's true form was a whale.
But in Liumu's impression, Fuzhi was actually regarded as the Sea God, and the most powerful true god beneath the true gods at that.
Only after subduing Fuzhi and hearing Fuzhi's own account did Liumu learn that the world's understanding of Fuzhi was actually very limited.
Legend had it that when heaven and earth first opened, the true god's bones became the land, and his blood became rivers.
The rivers converged, forming the sea.
As time passed, the sea even grew to dozens of times the size of the land.
Fuzhi was born in the Sea Abyss, a place of extreme danger where even a random enemy was often above the immortal rank.
At first, Fuzhi had no divine sense. As the weakest creature in the deep sea, it evolved bit by bit by feeding on bloodlines.
However, heaven and earth imposed extremely harsh conditions on the evolution of sea beasts. Fuzhi's whale body needed to cultivate the power of devouring.
If it succeeded, it could escape the sea's restraints, fly into the void, and attain the status of a Kongpeng.
But the Kongpeng was the very foundation of the Immortal Realm. It had not only nurtured the divine beast Phoenix, but was also the mother of the True Dragon.
The Kongpeng had endured for hundreds of millions of years, neither aging nor dying. Fuzhi had no chance at all of cultivating its power of devouring.
Moreover, only after failing more than ten thousand times did Fuzhi realize that this claim was actually nothing more than a lie the Immortal Realm told sea beasts.
In other words, Fuzhi would never be able to ascend in its lifetime.
The appearance of the Fuzhi template allowed it to witness Taotie's power of devouring in Liumu.
