Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The scene disappears into the palace.

Looking at the empty hall, Li Yuan felt not only sadness but also a sense of loss.

The youngest hunter of the Tianhuang tribe, a warrior who risked his life to protect his family and friends, underwent a bizarre transformation after death...

After Jiang Shi transformed into a monster, he was no longer the kind and simple young man he once was. He became muddle-headed, slaughtering living beings and living on blood...

But he made the final choice, and even under the control of his killing instinct, he still gave everything to protect the Ancestor of Humanity.

The black blood blooming in the cold, desolate starry sky is proof that Jiang Shi's humanity has never completely disappeared.

In his grief, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel confused and angry.

If fate, a vague and ethereal force, created this strange creature along its so-called trajectory, then why was this unprecedented creature destined to perish here?

"Chaos needs the emergence of the uncanny to bear the pain and despair of countless living beings."

"They will be the carriers of darkness and terror, bearing the names of misfortune and calamity, sharing the negative power from living beings with chaos."

“The true evil cannot be killed in the chaos. It is like a curse carved by the chaos itself. Only by living forever can it eternally bear the endless pain of the dark side of countless living beings for the chaos.”

"As the first monster, once it reached its full potential, it posed a great threat to the entire Chaos. Chaos needs monsters to absorb the gradually accumulating negative power, but it does not want to cultivate a monster that can threaten it."

"Driven by some unseen force, it chose to detonate itself, but due to its immortality, it was fortunate enough to escape this chaos and go to an unknown dimension to create its own world, which is already the best outcome."

The usually indifferent Heavenly Emperor spoke at length, perhaps because he saw Li Yuan's agitated state, or perhaps for some other reason.

He explained it very clearly, as if he wanted Li Yuan to understand some of the essence behind the matter.

Moreover, as the strongest being in the entire chaos, the Heavenly Emperor saw every detail after Jiang Shi's self-destruction.

"Monsters that bear the negative effects of chaos, the ability to be immortal... and... them?"

Li Yuan was still absorbed in the Heavenly Emperor's words and did not notice the meaning of the last sentence.

He remembered that when Jiang Shi escaped from the Haotian Secret Realm, he suddenly developed the ability to transmit infection.

It was as if some unseen force was at play.

The bitten child turned into a hideous monster, a sinister creature, and became bloodthirsty.

Chaos needs the existence of the unpredictable, but it sensed a threatening trend in Jiang Shi. Before Jiang Shi went to help the Ancestor of Humanity, did it also affect its mind, causing it to deliberately harm some living beings?

In other words, has the chaotic will in the dark already caused Jiang Shi to transmit his strange characteristics?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan recalled the Heavenly Emperor's last words.

"Old Zhang... uh... Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, are you saying that Jiang Shi didn't die, but instead, after self-destructing, he was banished to an unknown dimension, and might even be able to create his own world?"

Li Yuan was somewhat excited.

Even if we're in different dimensions, as long as we're not dead, we might meet again someday!

The Heavenly Emperor nodded indifferently: "It is true that he is not dead, and it is also true that we are parting forever."

This fully-formed monster, banished by Chaos, has no chance of returning. Even if it lives forever and all ages change, Li Yuan will never see it again.

However, with Li Yuan's current strength, he is not yet able to understand the underlying reasons.

Just as after the Three Realms were fully established, the Heavenly Emperor would also forbid Him from approaching...

Jiang Shi was abandoned by Chaos, and the Three Realms will eventually 'abandon' Chaos as well.

A world completely detached and independent is like a child who has already been born and grown up.

Chaos has no fixed form, just like the amniotic fluid that nurtures an embryo.

Once a child is born and learns to breathe, it has its own body's balance and circulation, and can never return to the environment of amniotic fluid. Otherwise, what awaits the child is only death and collapse.

Upon hearing the words "farewell forever," Li Yuan was temporarily unable to consider the underlying factors.

From his perspective, having already experienced time travel, even if Jiang Shi is banished to an unknown dimension, as long as there is hope, there is always hope of meeting again in the future...

Faced with such ignorant optimism, the Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly, but only sighed silently in his heart and did not expose him.

Perhaps he had met his future self in the Wangyin Pond, or perhaps the reverse flow of cause and effect from countless ages ago reflected in the present. The Heavenly Emperor always felt that when facing this boy named Li Yuan, a touch of humanity would always emerge from his indifferent state of mind as he looked down upon countless ages.

Perhaps, in my future self, I will need this sliver of so-called humanity.

Or perhaps... it shouldn't be.

The Heavenly Emperor remained somewhat silent, not wanting to dwell on the vast distance of time.

Even if he could transcend the river of time and space, watching the changing years and the passing of eras, remaining untouched by calamities, he didn't want to deliberately pry into the distant future.

In the eyes of the 'transcendent', the river of time and space can flow linearly or occur in parallel, and all laws are meaningless.

If necessary, he could transcend mortality, but he is the Heavenly Emperor, bearing the fate of countless lives. If he were to forcibly glimpse the distant future, witness certain events, and make alterations...

This ancient spacetime that has already been created will collapse.

All living beings born during this period will lose their original purpose.

Other beings, whether powerful or Dao Venerable, might dare to boldly 'manipulate' matters involving space and time.

But the Heavenly Emperor is an exception. The Heavenly Emperor's existence, bearing this title, represents order and rules.

The Heavenly Emperor adopts a passive attitude towards all the major trends of time and space, and will never easily modify the future or the past.

And, most importantly...

Because of his eternal existence, the Heavenly Emperor exists in every moment of time and space.

To reverse the future and the past is equivalent to 'negotiating' with your past or future self.

Different times and places may lead to different mindsets and personalities, and disagreements can become very troublesome.

Therefore, even though Zhang Tiansheng in white robes from later generations manifested through the Wangyin Pool, after conveying some information, he handed over the reins to the Heavenly Emperor of this time and space, and then left without lingering.

The Heavenly Emperor is 'infinite' because he lives in every time and space; yet the Heavenly Emperor is also unique, and even if all the power of chaos were gathered, it would be impossible to replicate him. There is only one 'true' Heavenly Emperor in the world.

If two Heavenly Emperors appeared in the same spacetime, that would be a complete catastrophe for the entire universe.
