Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 1.1. Ji Yuan
Legend has it that when Pangu separated heaven and earth, the pure air rose to become the sky, and the turbid air sank to become the earth. Fearing that heaven and earth would merge, Pangu placed his head on the sky and his feet on the earth. For every zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) higher the sky was, Pangu was also 1 zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) higher.

After an unknown period of time, the heavens and earth ceased to grow, and Pangu, exhausted, perished. His body transformed into all things, and thus the primordial world was formed.

Then the Great Calamity of Longhan broke out. Rahu instigated the three races of dragon, wind, and qilin to fight each other. He was later killed by Hongjun. At this point, Hongjun merged with the Dao, and the rules of heaven and earth were initially established.

After that, the world enjoyed a period of relative peace.

……

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain, there was an inconspicuous little tribe.

"Ji Yuan~ Ji Yuan~"

"I found it."

A young human, dressed in a hempen shirt and an animal skin skirt, ran towards the wooden house in the center of the tribe while shouting.

Along the way, the people living in the tribes greeted him one after another:

"Xuan Du, you're back."

"Xuan Du, what good things have you found this time?"

"Xuan Du, how did your cultivation level improve so quickly?"

Xuan Du nodded and smiled in response as he ran toward the wooden house.

"Ha! Xuan Du, as expected of you."

The shouts had already arrived before the wooden cabin door was even opened.

A young human, also dressed in hemp clothing and a fur-lined skirt, emerged from behind the door.

"Let me see it quickly."

Ji Yuan's eyes shone as he stared intently at the unknown object in Xuan Du's hand.

"Give."

Xuan Du handed the item to Ji Yuan with both hands.

Ji Yuan took it and examined it carefully.

"really…"

"Indeed, it is the clay left behind by the Holy Mother when she created humans from clay. With this, we can surely find a way out."

Ji Yuan felt much more at ease.

"It seems this is the one."

Seeing Ji Yuan's delighted expression, Xuan Du immediately knew he hadn't made a mistake, and crossed his arms with a smug look on his face.

“That’s right, this is the soil left over from the creation of humankind. Xuandu still needs you to find it safely. You truly are my lucky star.”

Ji Yuan praised.

Xuan squinted, looking pleased, and then asked, "So what are you going to do with this?"

Ji Yuan, with a profound and inscrutable expression, suppressed a smile and said, "It's not the right time yet. When the time comes, you'll naturally know."

Upon hearing this, Xuandu stretched and yawned, saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll go to sleep now."

Ji Yuan waved his hand, signaling Xuan Du to hurry up and leave.

After Xuandu left, Ji Yuan sighed.

If he possessed Xuandu's talent and fortune, why would he need to make these preparations?

Ji Yuan was not a person of this world. In his previous life, he died suddenly after staying up all night playing the Classic of Mountains and Seas mini-game. For some reason, he transmigrated to the prehistoric world and became one of the three thousand innate humans created by the goddess Nuwa.

When he learned that he was a naturally born human, he was actually very flustered. Having read countless prehistoric novels in his previous life, he knew that the time when Nuwa created humans and became a saint was during the Lich War.

Emperor Jun, along with billions of demons, established the Demon Heavenly Court in the boundless starry sky. The Twelve Ancestral Witches radiated across the entire prehistoric land, with Mount Buzhou as their center. However, the human race was still relatively peaceful at the moment. Although Nuwa went to Chaos to establish her Daoist temple after becoming a saint, she issued a decree before leaving, announcing to the prehistoric world that no race should invade the human race within the first Yuanhui.

One Yuan Hui is 129,600 years old. It seems like a long time, but in reality, some great beings can cultivate for several Yuan Hui. Although the innate human race has a good foundation, each of them is born into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

However, the time of a single Yuanhui is simply not enough for the human race to produce a powerful being who can protect them. Moreover, the human race has the realm but no cultivation method, let alone protective spells.

Other Celestial Immortals could easily ride the clouds and summon wind and rain, which Ji Yuan could only envy silently. In the prehistoric world, the weak had no human rights.

However, he had thought about creating his own techniques, but he was not cut out for it, and the spells he tried could not even be considered unorthodox or unorthodox.

He didn't have Xuandu's amazing talent and luck. Xuandu did most of his time sleeping, yet his cultivation level kept rising. Moreover, Xuandu always managed to find rare and precious materials whenever he went out. No wonder he became the only disciple of the Human Sect after Laozi established it.

He was next to Xuandu when Nuwa created humans. Hundreds of years later, Xuandu had become a true immortal master while he was still a celestial immortal. They were clearly from the same generation of humans, so why...?

Ugh……

The difference between people is truly astounding!

Ji Yuan originally planned to follow the example of his predecessors who had transmigrated, such as drilling wood to make fire, sewing clothes, and cultivating the land to earn some merit to protect himself. However, he did not expect that he would not have any merit at all, only a little bit of luck to rely on.

He had also wondered why he had no merit, and came to the conclusion that the Lich War was not yet over, and the human race was not yet the protagonist of heaven and earth, so naturally there was no merit to speak of. The fact that he was given good fortune was already an investment from the Heavenly Dao in advance.

However, a turning point occurred during his efforts to help the human race.

He actually has a cheat code called "Record of Mythical Beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas," which depicts all kinds of mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, from the Zhulong to the Mandarin Duck. Although many of these beasts also exist in the prehistoric world, they are not related.

By planting good seeds and reaping good fruit, one can illuminate the network of the illustrations. When a mythical beast illustration is fully illuminated, one can acquire one of the beast's abilities.

To put it simply, it means making Ji Yuan find pleasure in helping "people".

Ji Yuan has currently unlocked the catalog of a mythical beast named Bai Ze, and he has also acquired Bai Ze's ability: [Understanding all things, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune].

To put it bluntly, it means being able to see through the essence of things and predict good or bad fortune and the future, but this is also closely related to one's cultivation level.

This is why Ji Yuan sent Xuan Du to collect clay for shaping people. In the prediction, it was a very bad omen for him to go, but for Xuan Du, everything was fine. Perhaps this is because of Xuan Du's amazing luck.

Perhaps because Bai Ze is an auspicious beast, Ji Yuan himself also possesses some of the characteristics of an auspicious beast. At least when he encounters other races, he naturally feels a bit of goodwill towards Ji Yuan.

"If even auspicious beasts could grant me this kind of blessing, wouldn't I become an 'auspicious person' in the primordial world?!"

Ji Yuan envisioned this scenario.

The next mythical beast in the catalog is Dang Kang, which is also an auspicious beast. Once you have collected enough good karma, you will know if it is what you are looking for.

At this point, Kangtu had already lit up most of the lights.

Closer to home.

Ji Yuan carried the clump of soil, which was, in principle, his brother's, into the room.

On the table in the room, various tools were neatly arranged: knives, hammers, chisels... everything imaginable was there.

Ji Yuan placed the clay on the exquisitely carved wooden platform and began his creative journey.

Slowly, a lifelike statue appeared in Ji Yuan's hands. It had a human head and a snake's body, and it was none other than the Holy Mother of the Human Race - Nuwa.

This is the most suitable method for changing the fate of human babies that Ji Yuan divined.

He planned to pray to Nuwa when the time was right, asking for the transmission of his skills or to become Nuwa's disciple.

Of course, becoming a disciple of Nuwa is practically out of the question, but to achieve something, one must first aim for the highest level; this is the Doctrine of the Mean.

There's no need to worry about Nuwa blaming him; it's perfectly reasonable for a son to ask his mother for help when he encounters difficulties.

In Ji Yuan's divination, this was also considered an auspicious sign.

At this point, all that is needed is to wait for the Three Pure Ones to become saints.
