Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 1 The Gods of Yunmeng

In the vast Yunmeng Marshland, the sky and earth were shrouded in darkness, and a violent storm pounded against the water's surface, causing waves to surge.

The water was murky, but there was one spot that was somewhat different from the surrounding environment.

From the sky, it appears no different from anywhere else, but upon closer inspection, something seems amiss; the wind and rain seem to be kept out by a canopy.

However, the experience was the same as elsewhere, with no difference.

Inside the enclosure, the rain was still and the wind was gentle, and clusters of white lotus flowers of varying sizes were in full bloom.

It forms a vast, endless lotus kingdom.

At the center, however, there is only a giant lotus that is over ten thousand feet tall, surrounded by four huge lotus leaves, three large and one small, which are slowly blooming.

As the lotus flower opens a little, its radiant glow spreads outwards for miles.

Until the edge of the cover was blocked, reflecting in the water.

As the lotus fully blooms, the rosy light gradually fades and retreats to the lotus's body. The four lotus leaves, along with the lotus flower and the lotus root in the water, begin to detach from the surface.

Three large lotus leaves transformed into a large white drum, the handle into a small green hammer, and the tail was connected to the drum body by white lotus root threads.

The smaller piece transforms into an imperial bell, with the leaf forming the bell's body and the handle becoming the bell's stem, for holding in the hand.

The lotus root transforms into a white jade whip, which connects with the lotus flower stem to form a handle.

Each section of lotus root transforms into a whip, with six sides, each side bearing nine hundred talismans, totaling twenty-four sections.

The lotus and lotus seedpod transformed into a pure white lotus platform, with twelve layers of petals piled up around it.

The rosy light retreated into the flowers and leaves, and then shone out again, only encircling the lotus platform.

The lotus seedpod leaves behind twelve lotus seeds after it becomes a platform. The seeds combine to form a string of prayer beads, which float above the lotus platform.

A divine being within the lotus throne also began to awaken after all this was completed.

who am I?

But no voice answered Him in His heart. He searched his memory and seemed to have some memories of being human, but they were vague and unclear.

What I remember most clearly is a giant wielding a giant axe.

As the giant axe swung, light, fire, wind, and electricity appeared in what was originally an empty space...

Various gases and colors appeared in the void, filling and enveloping the entire void.

Qi and nothingness merge and separate, constantly repeating and transforming into each other, gradually becoming various kinds of qi that arise spontaneously from nothingness.

The giant smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this, though He did not see it.

But He had the feeling that the giant was laughing, and He was quite certain of it.

But soon these things began to press against each other, and the feeling of emptiness reappeared.

This enraged the giant, who continued to swing his giant axe, cleaving through the newly appeared nothingness until the axe shattered.

The original gases gradually stratified, forming a world, which giants then trod.

He was already very tired; the void no longer appeared, or rather, when it did appear, it was immediately transformed into various air currents.

But the newly transformed energy began to squeeze this newly born world.

The giant had no choice but to rise again, his body becoming even larger, and the energy emanating from his hands lifted the top of the world.

And it continued to grow until the pure air rose and the turbid air descended, separating heaven and earth.

The giant's body was riddled with holes by various types of air during this time.

There is the turbid air and metallic air that sinks from the sky when the world is divided, and the clear air and water vapor that rise from the ground and fly into the sky.

The resentment of the demon god born from the nothingness of the void when the giant casually killed him at the beginning of creation, the drifting clouds and gales between heaven and earth...

These energies carried away a part of the giant's body and formed many different things, such as the lotus throne beside Him.

Only after the world stabilized did the giant notice his current state.

He glanced down at the ground and saw no life except for the creatures that had formed from his body.

Looking up at the sky, it was empty and silent.

Suddenly, as if having made up his mind, the giant uttered the first sound in the world: "Zha."

Instantly, divine power and myriad phenomena filled the heavens and earth, thunder roared, and all things in the world trembled and trembled under this majesty.

The resentment of the demon gods surrounding those creatures born from the flesh and blood of giants vanished instantly, and their original forms were revealed.

But resentment still lingered in the earth's turbid air. The world had been opened up too wide and too large by the giants, and the giants were too tired.

He has not rested since the beginning of creation, and He has no strength left.

Then, the giant sat down, took one last look at the world, and his hair fell out and flew into the sky, turning into stars.

But the stars in the sky were chaotic and disorderly, so the eyes also flew towards the sky.

They transformed into the sun and moon, governing the sun and moon, and organizing the stars.

The blood that flowed left behind became the four rivers and eight streams, flowing into the four seas.

They come together, forming an eye in the sea, purifying heaven and earth.

Lakes and marshes formed in the depressions, and rivers, lakes and seas were connected.

The filthy blood formed a unique entity, transforming into a sea of ​​blood, independent of the world's water systems.

The physical body transforms into continuous mountain ranges and earth veins, such as Kunlun and Zhongshan.

The limbs transformed into pillars supporting the heavens and the earth, and the spine transformed into Mount Buzhou.

At the same time, various energies surged out from within the body and flew to various places. Among them, the pure energy emanated from the body and transformed into three streams of light that flew towards Dongkunlun.

The turbid air took root upon landing and transformed into twelve pieces of gray soil scattered around Mount Buzhou.

Vital energy tends to settle in the east, metal energy in the west, fire energy in the south, and cold energy in the north.

Water vaporized into torrential rain, scattering across the heavens and earth, filling the valleys and streams with the world's waterways.

Plants and trees rise from the ground, their bodies and whiskers transform into birds, their blood vessels enter the water to become scales and armor, and they land to become beasts.

Seeing this, the giant nodded in satisfaction, his figure vanished into the heavens and earth, and life began to return to the world.

At the same time, all living beings in the world knew the name of this giant: Pangu.

The memory ends here. The creature in the lotus platform walks to the edge of the platform and looks at its reflection in the water. It has a red beard and white hair, four eyes, a human body and a snake tail, two wings on its back, and vertical pupils in its blue eyes.

This image is completely different from the vague image in His memory.

But He did not find this appearance ugly; He only felt that it possessed a kind of beauty of the Tao, giving people a very strong feeling.

Looking down at the clear pond beneath the lotus platform, I felt as if there were stars twinkling in it. Then, looking at the distant lake, I realized that the two bodies of water were not the same.

Looking up, he saw the four treasures floating in the air and felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity, instinctively reaching out to beckon them.

The rosary beads slipped onto his left hand on their own, the jade whip stood in front of him, and the imperial bell and drum were positioned on his right side, with the bell on top and the drum below.

All of these are places where you can easily reach out and grab them for use.

On stage, he reached out and grasped the drumstick, gently tapping it on the drumhead.

"Thump"

In an instant, one's mind felt as if a boulder had fallen onto a lake, creating turbulent waves, or as if thunder had roared across a wilderness, leaving one trembling. Yet, it did not harm one; instead, it brought clarity.

He suddenly learned his own name.

"pray"
