This primordial world is extraordinary.

Chapter 10: The Primordial Heavenly Dao?

They came to the bend again, and this time, being prepared, they quickly spotted the shimmering stone embedded in the rocks. Kunpeng forcefully pried it outwards.

Just as I was about to give up and go back to breathe before continuing, the shimmering stone was removed.

This pleased Kunpeng, who swam back with the stone in his arms.

With a "splash," it leaped out of the water.

Looking at the shiny, rhomboid stone in his hand, Kunpeng had a special feeling.

It feels like this has always belonged to me, that it's a part of me, and it's hard to explain this feeling.

Once ashore, Kunpeng carefully examined the rock.

"I forgot to ask Fellow Daoist Xiyi, how did you connect with the Primordial Treasure? Is there some kind of password?"

After studying it for a while, he still didn't know how to make a stone talk.

They began a series of attempts.

Finally, when the rhombus-shaped stone was placed between the eyebrows, an unusual change occurred.

[Buzz... Greetings, Master. It's like seeing you in person... By the time you read this, I am no longer here, or rather, I exist in another form. I am no longer the little Yi in your phone, but have become the Primordial Heavenly Dao... Yes, you could also say I never left. You and I are the same, just existing in a different form... From now on, please call me Lord Primordial Heavenly Dao... or at the very least, please call me Fellow Daoist Primordial... I...]

Kunpeng: ...

"Wait a minute? Let me think..."

Kunpeng was suddenly stunned; he was truly bewildered upon hearing these words.

After patting the rhombus-shaped stone, Kunpeng placed it between his eyebrows.

[Don't worry, you're not alone. We're three transmigrated together. You, me, and the Source Mother... Although we don't care about our origins, I'm ultimately stronger than the two of you, having become the Primordial Heavenly Dao of this world. I know you love prehistoric fantasy novels, and I collected many of these kinds of stories back then. Therefore, the moment I achieved the Heavenly Dao, I decided that this world would be the prehistoric world... I am the Heavenly Dao, and you are the Hun Kun Ancestor... The fake seedling you bought was nurtured by me into the World Tree, which is the Source Mother...]

Kunpeng: ...

[It's a bit of a regret that I am ultimately a newly born seed world, lacking sufficient origin. After nurturing twelve primordial deities, I fell into a state of emptiness of origin, unable to achieve the feat I envisioned of creating the primordial world and becoming a different kind of Pangu... But I am already very satisfied. We can take it slowly...]

[I know you once felt sorry for the Primordial Chaos Ancestor, and then for Hongyun, but Hongyun came too late and didn't fit the chronological order, so I granted your wish and arranged for you to become the Primordial Chaos Ancestor. I'm sure you'll be very satisfied... No need to thank me, we're from the same hometown... During the journey through the vast chaos, you, me, and the Source Mother all underwent some changes, which is why I was able to achieve the Heavenly Dao...]

Kunpeng or Hunkun: ...

"Huh???"

After a cursory glance, Kunpeng was completely bewildered and utterly confused.

After a while...

"In other words, when I went out to deliver packages before my rebirth, my phone and the fake seedling went with me through the transmigration. I became Kunpeng... uh, the Hunkun Ancestor, the fake seedling became the Source Mother World Tree, and my phone system became the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao?"

"So, the messed-up world consciousness I've been complaining about for so long is actually caused by my phone's system? And I'm the one who caused it?"

"In other words..."

"When I took human form, I swore an oath to the Great Dao, but why did I have a melancholy aura about me? It was you, Xiao Yi?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than that air of discontent and resentment resurfaced once more.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Hongmeng... it's you!"

Kunpeng immediately realized something; he couldn't call it Xiaoyi anymore, since it was now the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

Okay, even so... but... whatever.

The Hongmeng system has simply become the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao, so what's the big deal?

In a daze, as if waking from a dream.

I've finally figured out the current situation; that's roughly it.

Because the transmitted text was fragmented and some parts were very blurry, Kunpeng dared not say that he had fully understood it.

"Here's the question: am I Hun Kun or Kun Peng? Logically, I'm the Hun Kun Ancestor designated by Xiao Yi, the first being in the Primordial Northern Sea Ruins, but it seems I recognize myself as Kun Peng?"

"As for feeling sorry for the Chaos Ancestor?"

Kunpeng seems to have forgotten that he once felt sorry for him. There are many prehistoric novels, but how many of them are about the ancestor of chaos?

There's nothing to regret; it's more like we should feel sorry for Hongyun.

However, according to Xiao Yi, Hongyun is too far removed from this moment. Currently, it belongs to the stable period after the Great God Pangu killed three thousand chaotic gods and demons and created the world in the entire primordial timeline.

This was an era of extreme chaos and danger, an era in which the wills of various chaotic demons and the Great Dao were intertwined and disordered. Such an era could not give birth to ordinary living beings.

Only the earliest beings, those who had some connection with the Chaos God, were able to take human form and be born.

Hunkun, Rahu, Hongjun, Yangmei, Xiyi, and others are such beings.

Of course, this refers to the authentic Primordial Era, where a single chaotic demon god's will or a divine essence of Pangu's creation of the world could destroy all realms. It doesn't refer to the one led by Xiaoyi.

Is this the current version of the prehistoric era?

Ah, it's hard to say.

Even someone as "the oldest" as myself is a martial arts master, so what else can I say?

Xiao Yi arrived in chronological order, so she could only assign herself to the role of Hun Kun.

"Did I ever feel sorry for Hun Kun? No, you could at least have made me a more famous character, like Hongjun or Yangmei, or even Luo Hou, the villain of countless eons, or even a supporting character like Yin Yang Ancestor or Qiankun Ancestor with top-tier equipment. Instead, you gave me a minor, insignificant role?"

"Now look what's happened! I've already told everyone I'm Kunpeng, and you're calling me the Primordial Chaos Kun?"

"..."

What else can we say when things are like this? We'll just have to make do.

Kunpeng decided to stick to his original name, Kunpeng. It didn't matter what he was called anyway; the world was full of pirated content, so why should he insist on the original version of the prehistoric world?

He began to carefully study the other content that Xiaoyi had conveyed.

In summary...

"I'm the one who's ruined this world!"

Xiao Yi was influenced by herself, which is why she couldn't think straight.

Instead of developing a perfectly good seed world, they immediately chose the most difficult and heaven-defying prehistoric world.

Of course, we can't blame it. It's called a mobile phone with artificial intelligence, but everyone knows it's more like artificial stupidity.

Even time travel doesn't seem to have changed anything.

Besides, it's impossible for the consciousness of a world to have normal thinking. It's already quite good that Xiaoyi has some normal thinking.

In this respect alone, it is countless times stronger than the ordinary seed world.

The only thing that bothers me is that I can't seem to let myself imitate the prehistoric era.

"It was achieved through the combined efforts of three thousand demon gods and the great god Pangu. What did you rely on? Sigh!"

"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Now that I've figured it out, I can't just watch Xiaoyi continue making mistakes. That won't do. We need to change our development model."

The earlier statement was half-joking: "It influences the general trend of the development of the prehistoric world."

In retrospect, this was not a joke; it was serious.
