Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The small creatures had never experienced such a change and did not know how to cope with the sudden cold.

Plants accustomed to warm climates withered in large swaths in the frost and snow; herbivores that depended on plants for survival starved to death due to food scarcity; and predators that preyed on herbivores also died one after another after the food chain broke down.

The earth was littered with corpses, a truly horrific sight.

Of course, these had no effect whatsoever on those powerful beings.

Huang Long watched all this with a heavy heart, but he did not stop.

He will not abandon his grand plan to revive the stars because of short-term casualties.

That's truly irresponsible.

But he still did one thing...

Give these vulnerable creatures time to adapt.

Therefore, before each revival of the stars, he would begin to slowly reduce the mobilization of the sun's energy some time in advance, allowing the temperature to drop slowly rather than suddenly become cold.

When the cold wave ends, it will slowly restore its solar energy, allowing the temperature to rise gradually rather than suddenly become hot.

In this way, each transition between winter and summer becomes smooth and rhythmic.

The creatures had time to adapt.

Those creatures that survived several cold waves have learned to store food and find shelter before the next cold wave arrives.

When the weather starts to get cold, they instinctively begin to hoard food or hibernate to survive the cold snap...!

The plants and trees also began to adjust their growth cycles.

They grow rapidly during warm periods and go dormant during cold seasons, waiting for the next warm period to arrive.

Generation after generation, living beings have continuously evolved and adapted to the changing seasons.

Their bodies became stronger, their instincts became sharper, and their survival strategies became more diverse.

As Huang Long watched all this unfold, a sense of understanding gradually dawned on him.

This cyclical change, this rhythm of the changing seasons and the flourishing and withering of all things, may not be a disaster for most weak creatures!

Living beings became more resilient and powerful in this change, and the world became more orderly in this change.

Huanglong began to consciously try to understand this change.

He wanted to earn merit for himself, for Xuandu, and for Fuxi.

He separated a wisp of his primordial spirit and descended upon the primordial land.

He wandered through most of the southern part of the prehistoric world, sat cross-legged under a large tree, and began to comprehend the changes in the prehistoric world.

Reflect on how plants sprout in spring, grow in summer, bear fruit in autumn, and wither in winter.

I can feel how all things are constantly reborn in this cycle.

Each change of seasons deepened his understanding of the rhythms of nature.

He began to collect the Daoist principles that arose from the changes in heaven and earth.

It possesses the essence of Tao, governing growth and development, representing budding and the vibrant vitality of all things reviving. That is the power of "life," the burst of the most primal and purest life force from all things.

It possesses the essence of Tao, governs growth, and signifies abundance and the vibrant scene of all things flourishing. It is the power of "growth," the unrestrained release of all spirits under the nourishment of sunlight and rain.

It possesses the essence of Tao, signifying restraint, maturity, and the joy of nurturing future generations. That is the power of "gathering," the sedimentation and accumulation of all beings after completing a cycle.

It possesses the essence of Tao, representing accumulation and tranquility, the silent waiting of all things in hibernation. That is the power of "concealment," the dormancy and accumulation of life in the harsh winter.

Four kinds of Daoist charm, four kinds of power, four kinds of realm.

Huanglong's primordial spirit avatar has been comprehending the Dao on the earth for thousands of years, experiencing hundreds of cycles of cold and heat, and gradually condensing these four Daoist principles.

Meanwhile, Huanglong's true form was not idle in the starry sky either.

He, along with Xuandu and Fuxi, manipulated the great array to revive the stars, while comprehending the great laws governing the revival of the stars.

Thousands of years of accumulation have allowed Huanglong to reach an unprecedented level of understanding of the workings of the universe.

Three hundred years is but a fleeting moment in the vastness of time.

But for those creatures that thrive on the earth, these three hundred years have brought about earth-shattering changes.

They have fully adapted to the rhythm of the changing seasons.

Whenever the first cold wind begins to blow, living things know that the cold season is coming.

They begin storing food, fortifying their nests, and growing thicker fur in advance. When the cold wave truly arrives, they are fully prepared and can safely weather the cold season.

When the first warm breeze begins to blow, creatures know that the warm season is coming. They will emerge from their nests and begin a new cycle of growth and reproduction. Plants will grow wildly in the warm season, providing ample food for all living things.

This rhythm is deeply ingrained in their instincts.

From birth, they experience this rhythm. Generation after generation, this rhythm has become an integral part of their lives, like breathing, like a heartbeat, natural and indispensable.

As Huanglong Zhenren observed all this, an idea formed in his mind.

This rhythm of alternating cold and heat has immense benefits for the primordial world and for all living things.

It allows living beings to evolve amidst change and grow amidst challenges; it allows heaven and earth to maintain balance in cycles and sustain vitality amidst decay and prosperity.

What Huanglong needs to do is to completely stabilize this rhythm, so that it will not return to its original order after he has restored the celestial bodies.

He shared this idea with Fuxi and Xuandu.

"Does Master Uncle intend to solidify the alternation of cold and heat into the order of Heaven?" Fuxi asked in surprise.

Huanglong nodded: "The creatures have adapted to this rhythm. The alternation of cold and heat over hundreds and thousands of years has profoundly changed their life forms. Now it seems that the alternation of cold and heat is more suitable for the creatures of the primordial world."

Xuandu looked at the primordial land and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's feasible. If we can manifest these laws and solidify them into the Heavenly Order, it will be equivalent to establishing a new set of laws for heaven and earth, making the primordial world more perfect."

Fuxi nodded: "I have deduced it. According to the results of the deduction based on the Hetu and Luoshu, establishing the order of the four seasons for the heavens and earth is not only feasible, but also of great benefit to the primordial world."

"The cycle of the four seasons can regulate the balance of yin and yang between heaven and earth, promote the cycle and regeneration of all things, and allow all living things to grow and reproduce better in the regular changes."

Huanglong looked at Xuandu and Fuxi and said, "This matter will be of great merit."

Xuandu and Fuxi both smiled at the same time.

Although the decision was made, Huang Long did not take action immediately!

Of the ancient stars that have been extinguished over the past three hundred years, only one has yet to be revived.

Huanglong decided to stop first.

"Why did you stop?" Fuxi asked, puzzled. "There's only one left. Wouldn't it be better to revive in one go?"

Huang Long shook his head: "We have to take the benefits little by little."

Seeing that Fuxi and Xuandu were still puzzled, Huanglong smiled and said, "Let's go back to the Primordial World first, finish up the matter of the cycle of the four seasons, collect our merits, and then...!"
