Chapter 52: The Fifty-Second Day of Creating a New Primordial World Game

After Pangu defeated three thousand demons, only he remained as a giant in the chaos. Unrivaled in the world, Pangu then cleaved the heavens and earth with his axe.

At this moment, Tongtian realized that he had been completely isolated from the chaos. Although he was right next to the Father God, the Father God seemed not to be able to see him at all.

A colossal giant swung his axe, shattering the heavens and earth like an egg. Heavy, murky gases accumulated and sank, while light, clear gases floated in the air.

That ancient, majestic voice rang out once more.

[The universe was a chaotic void, like a chicken egg; Pangu was born within it.]

【Eighteen thousand years ago, when heaven and earth were created, the clear Yang became heaven, and the turbid Yin became earth.】*

As the voice slowly recounted the story, Pangu's movements grew increasingly larger. Until the beginning of creation, when light filled the world, it was known that heaven and earth were formed and the primordial world was established.

Pangu was among them...*

"Nine changes in a single day, divine in heaven, holy on earth..."*

Tongtian, Yuanshi, Laozi, Nuwa, and other primordial beings followed this majestic voice and began to recite familiar stories.

This myth of the creation of heaven and earth before the primordial era is now unfolding right before their eyes.

The PV, which condenses the memories of the Chaos Demon God, perfectly replicates the Father God of the Primordial World.

At this moment, everyone has forgotten the original rules of the game, which stated that players should never become addicted to it.

Until the very last moment of the PV, the giant who had held up the heavens and the earth fell on this land, his body becoming one with the heavens and the earth.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian saw the three streams of pure energy that were coiled on Pangu's body fleeing towards Kunlun.

Changxi looked up and saw his right eye hang in the sky, transforming into the moon;

The Styx Ancestor saw that Pangu's navel instantly turned into a lake of blood;

Hongyun also saw that similar yet different cloud on the horizon;

…………

All living beings born at the beginning of time now see their newborn selves.

When Pangu died, the primordial world was born, and all living beings were reborn. Therefore, all living beings in the primordial world revered Pangu as their father god.

In the beginning of time, when heaven and earth were first created and the Dao of Heaven was first established, many cultivators gained some insights upon seeing such a magnificent sight, and their love and admiration for the Great God Pangu increased immeasurably.

While the players were still reeling from the shock of creation, the scene before them changed rapidly.

As time passed and the seasons changed, a barren land was transformed into a vibrant landscape of flowers, grasses, and trees, giving birth to a new generation of living beings.

Meanwhile, the chaotic fragments scattered throughout the primordial world also emitted ominous signs. One after another, ferocious chaotic beasts escaped from the fragments and wreaked havoc on the primordial continent, destroying the once peaceful and tranquil land.

Wild animals from outside have wrecked our house. The hot-tempered man had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to go down and teach those brats a lesson.

The scene before them froze at that moment, and the next second the players regained control of their bodies and arrived in the air above the prehistoric world.

[Preachers, the primordial continent is being invaded by ferocious beasts, and your arrival is urgently needed.]

[The main quest is now available: eliminate the ferocious beasts plaguing the primordial world, and comprehend and impart the Three Thousand Great Daos within it.]

After the words were spoken, the numerous cultivators, without any external support, fell straight down from the sky.

The sudden fall turned the originally serious scene into a comical one. For a moment, people were using the wind to their advantage, flying on swords, and dancing on clouds, truly displaying their unique abilities like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

But someone always misses the mark and falls flat on the ground. Fortunately, they only create a splash and are unharmed.

But when Xuanming came to his senses from the water and struggled to get ashore, he couldn't find his way for most of the day.

He scratched his head, and as he summoned Yunfei into the sky, he suddenly exclaimed in astonishment, "How come the entire prehistoric world is water?!"

This is not an isolated case. Many people who hastily absorbed the essence of the five elements in the early stages have now found that the primordial world they have arrived in has changed.

Some areas are covered in lava, with fiery mountains everywhere, because the source of fire has absorbed too much of it.

Some places are covered with flowers, grass and trees, with flowers growing on flowers and trees growing on trees, and only a little soil underneath. The wild animals that were born in the primordial era all lived on the leaves and had no idea what mountains and rivers were.

There is also a barren land, where only occasionally can you see a small oasis that nurtures newly born creatures.

The most tragic thing is that the source of metal is too abundant. Besides gold and silver, there is copper and iron. The rivers are filled with mercury. The green color that can be seen occasionally is copper rust. Creatures that cannot withstand the high temperature under the sun lose their lives in vain.

After urgently communicating with his brothers and sisters in the Wu tribe, Xuanming realized that he was actually doing alright; it was just that as the Ancestral Witch of Rain, he had used too much water, which had flooded the entire prehistoric world.

Anyway, there are small fish and shrimp in the water, so it's not unreasonable to spread the word in the water.

He knew he couldn't think of much, but since it was just a game, he'd just follow the game's instructions. He stopped soaring through the clouds and jumped into the water to see what kind of creatures had sprung up in this primordial world.

The Wu clan doesn't understand anything about preaching; they'll just have them drink their own blood to temper their bodies.

There seemed to be a mermaid ahead; someone so slender couldn't possibly survive in the primordial world. Xuanming quickened his pace, embarking on his journey of spreading the Dao.

But not everyone can accept that the prehistoric world in the game has changed its appearance.

The Kunpeng soared ninety thousand miles into the sky, only to find there was no ground beneath its feet. Helpless, it transformed into a fish and entered the sea, unable to distinguish between the Northern and Southern Seas.

"Where is this primordial wilderness?!" Kunpeng roared. "The mission was for me to go to Mount Zhaoyao to spread the word, but Mount Zhaoyao has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and there isn't even a fish left."

The game program remains silent, only repeatedly displaying the tutorial.

[The excessive loading of the Water Origin at the beginning of creation by players has caused an imbalance of the Five Elements in the primordial continent. Other primordial energies can be loaded into this primordial world to compensate for and correct this imbalance.]

[Currently, it is recommended to load Earth-based elemental materials such as: Breath Soil, Essence of Earth, Chaotic Soil, Netherworld Blood Soil, etc.]

All Kunpeng heard was the beginner's tutorial listing the names of rare and precious treasures from the primordial world, which infuriated him.

"Are these treasures ordinary things? How am I supposed to find them in this vast ocean? I've been searching for three days and three nights and all I've found is a puddle of water!"

The roc raised its tail and slammed it down, creating a waterfall a thousand meters high. Suddenly, it felt a chill on its tail.

I quickly tucked my tail in and looked around, only to find that I was captivated by a thick layer of frost. Two pure white water droplets were rolling around on the refrigerator. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were "Mysterious True Water".

The game program conveniently includes the following: [The unbalanced primordial world of the Five Elements is prone to producing treasures of corresponding attributes; new players should choose appropriate missionary strategies.]

[The mission has been tested and is running normally. Players can click the map in the upper left corner to teleport.]

"It's nothing." Kunpeng, who was holding the Xuanming True Water, immediately changed his expression. He had indeed spoken too loudly just now.

As a Kunpeng, he can transform into both fish and bird, and living in the water is the most comfortable form of life for him.

Now the game provides him with a prehistoric world where he can dominate with water, and he can also find treasures that match his attributes. How can this be considered illogical? This is the best game in the world.

As Kunpeng spoke, he transformed into a bird again and flew towards the Kunlun Abyss. Sure enough, the Weak Water, which was so deep that even a goose feather could not cross, had increased considerably in the Kunlun Abyss, and the divine water that he had longed for was now right in front of him.

Even if it's just a game, he's willing to play. As soon as his hand touched the Weak Water, a new message popped up in front of him.

[Weak Water, an upgrade material for water-type characters.]

Kunpeng, who was visiting the area for the first time, didn't take the matter to heart and was only focused on finding a way to impersonate Weak Water.

Until a guide titled "The Importance of Five Elements Balance for the Operation of the Primordial World Game" was pushed to the top of the trending list in the public chat channel.

It was written by an unknown nobody named Kong Xuan, but it was praised by famous figures such as Fuxi and Nuwa.

Kunpeng glanced at it and saw that the whole text was a bunch of rambling nonsense.

Only later does it mention: "[...The Five Elements are composed of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. When the proportion of one element becomes too large, exceeding the sum of the others, it will cause an imbalance of the Five Elements, such as floods or fires that destroy the land."]

[When the Five Elements are imbalanced, magical artifacts of the corresponding attributes will be more easily created, but card draws and missions to spread the Dao will be restricted, and all living beings in the primordial world can only comprehend the Great Dao of the corresponding attribute.]

[In the upper left corner of the game, there is a formation representing the origin of creation. Players can use treasures of different attributes to adjust the five elements of their primordial world.]

There are several ways to obtain the Five Elements attributes: 1. Exchange with other players; 2. Obtain them through card draws (with a chance); 3. Forcibly impart the Great Dao of other attributes to the Primordial World, changing the Primordial World through your willpower...

Then came a bunch of incessant chattering nonsense; Kunpeng had never seen a bird as noisy as Kong Xuan.

However, you can indeed learn something from this guide: "In other words, you can change the entire primordial world in the game by altering the five elements!"

The Kunpeng was immediately overjoyed, its wings covering the sky and the sun, sweeping across the water and stirring up a row of giant waves.

With just a flick of a finger, you can change the entire primordial world. Although it's just a game, who can resist the temptation to change the primordial world?

Although the primordial world has become a sea, which has its own unique charm, Kunpeng cannot miss other forms of the primordial continent.

Unfortunately, he only ranked sixteenth on the leaderboard, missing out on the top ten reward of 100 draws. The thought of so many others ahead of him filled Kunpeng with displeasure, and he didn't even want to open the gacha interface.

"Hmph, boring." He landed on the summit of Kunlun Mountain and arrived at the trading interface mentioned in the guide.

The trading interface begins with Donghuang Taiyi, ranked tenth.

[Donghuang Taiyi: Requires a large amount of water-attribute essence, which can be exchanged for fire-attribute essence or spirit stones.]

Kunpeng's eyes lit up, and a good idea came to him.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi was unaware that someone was plotting against him, and he had already run to the world where his brother was.

A handsome young man, dressed in a long gold and red robe, complained to his elder brother under the sun: "Who would have thought that the original five elements would be related to the primordial world later on? The world I live in now is hotter than the sun. Everyone here came out of fire, and those who can't tolerate the heat simply can't survive."

Looking down from the sun, Donghuang Taiyi saw that the world was just right, with mountains, rivers, and everything else. Although the sun was a little too big, it was still a vibrant and thriving scene.

"Brother, you have a better plan. You don't have to go through the same troubles I did, searching for rare treasures to balance the five elements. I don't even know when we'll be able to gather enough water elemental essence..."

Di Jun has just sent a flock of birds to investigate the current state of the prehistoric world, hoping to take the lead in dominating the prehistoric world in the game.

Hearing his younger brother's complaints, he knew that his usual advice to study hard and not be impatient had not been heeded.

But it's too late to say anything now; what's done is done. Di Jun can only make plans for it: "A single attribute might not be a bad thing. While the five stars are currently unbalanced, we should accumulate more fire-attribute treasures for future use."

"Besides, why bother with all that trouble? We haven't even drawn a single one of the top 100 draws yet. Who knows, we might just draw one of the Five Elements Treasures."

Donghuang Taiyi clapped his hands together, suddenly realizing, "That's right, my brother and I haven't even touched our hundred draws yet!"

Yuan Yi: Your primordial world is yours to control. Use the five elements to create the world most suitable for you! [heart emoji]

Donghuang Taiyi: How come the primordial world has been burned down by fire? This fire looks so familiar! Have I caused a huge disaster?! Quickly go find my brother to save him! [fear]
