Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 17 Innate Gods and Ferocious Beasts

The first moment of time passed in the blink of an eye, and at this moment, Yunmengze was shrouded in a barrier formed by the great formation.

The ferocious beasts outside continuously bombarded the great formation with their supernatural powers, while the great formation was powered by the spiritual energy of the Yunmengze water veins.

Even if the ferocious beasts outside attack for several eons, it will not have much impact on the group.

At that time, all we need to do is release a batch of ferocious beasts, kill and purify them to fill the water veins.

It can be said to be inexhaustible.

Meanwhile, the innate deities outside the ferocious tide also discovered that the great formation was blocking the ferocious beasts, so they attacked the main force of the ferocious beasts even more vigorously.

Moreover, the ferocious beasts cannot stop attacking the formation. As soon as they stop attacking, Qi will accumulate power and manipulate the formation to attack the densest part of the ferocious tide.

This is unlike the attacks of the innate saints, which, although limited in distance, are extremely powerful!

After a stalemate lasting a thousand years, the ferocious beasts finally began to detour around Yunmeng Marsh.

However, because Yunmeng Marsh was so vast, the ever-present ferocious tides were ultimately blocked by it.

At this moment, Yunmengze seemed like an insurmountable chasm, blocking the raging tide and making it impossible to cross.

This also created a huge gap in the ferocious tide that was constantly converging towards the north.

This gap allowed countless living beings to thrive and preserved this sacred mountain and wondrous land.

This is the entrance to the northern continent at this time.

Almost all the innate deities present wore grim expressions as they watched the endless stream of ferocious beasts descending from the sea. One of them couldn't help but say:

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

"What else can we do?" another innate deity replied.

"This is our home!" the man couldn't help but say, his voice filled with anger.

"Yes, this is our home!" a primordial deity replied.

The person who answered had a gloomy face and a very somber expression. He was Kunpeng, one of the most outstanding innate deities of the North.

"But what can we do? The northern continent is far too barren compared to the other continents."

"There are too few powerful individuals who can make a decisive decision, spiritual treasures are scarce, and there are no great techniques."

"The Xuanwu Clan, the only race that could hold a significant position in the primordial world, has also suffered heavy losses."

"Gentlemen, we are powerless to help."

Kunpeng spoke calmly, but everyone could feel the pain he was experiencing.

Because the north is barren, although there are many ingenious ideas, most of them are hidden under ice and snow or in the deep sea.

It has never been a particularly habitable continent, but the innate deities who have remained on this continent all have deep feelings for the land beneath their feet.

"Gentlemen, now that you've made up your mind, you should cut it off decisively. We will return eventually!"

Upon hearing Kunpeng's words, the crowd fell silent and departed from the Northern Continent.

Kunpeng is right, they will eventually return, bringing back the fruits of their travels!

Most of them entered the Eastern Continent, with only a few heading towards the Western Continent.

After all, the Eastern Continent is where spiritual energy flourishes most.

They will go there to seek opportunities, accumulate strength, and leave behind their lineage.

Then, I embarked on my journey home.

Yunmengze

"Qi, when can we get out of here? I feel like our lives are too decadent right now."

Nuwa sighed.

Qi was also thinking about this issue; he also felt that his current life was too comfortable.

Since the great formation was completed, there's nothing to worry about anymore; we just need to follow the steps.

These days, she spends her days either on her way to banquets or wandering around the marshes.

The current state of affairs is not suitable for philosophical discussions and seclusion, and she does not want to get involved in those miscellaneous management matters, nor does she have any other hobbies.

Therefore, among the current group of five, Nuwa is the one who has the most nothing to do.

The current five-person group, Di Jun is obsessed with managing the affairs of various tribes, developing water and wood, and planning the development of each tribe.

Taiyi was obsessed with creating magic. When he wanted to exercise, he took the Chaos Bell out to kill some ferocious beasts, test its power, and find ways to improve it.

Fuxi and Qi are now bosom friends, spending their days together discussing formations, music, and playing chess.

When Fuxi encounters difficult formation problems in communication, he often studies them day and night.

This caused him to frequently forget the invitations he had accepted from Nuwa for outings, which Nuwa would then nag him about.

Qi is doing alright for now, but since it's his own dojo that's under attack, he still has to worry about it.

It was just the two of them on the outing today.

Fuxi was studying formations, while Taiyi went to test his magic.

Di Jun was originally going to come, but he was called away by the chieftain of a small clan.

They said they had discovered some kind of spiritual mine, and then they dragged Di Jun along for an enthusiastic on-site investigation.

Nuwa sat at the bow of the small boat, idly fiddling with the lotus leaves.

Qi stood at the stern of the boat and answered Nuwa's previous question.

"At most one Yuanhui, the beast tide is already accelerating."

"By the time it takes for a Yuanhui to pass, the ferocious beasts of the south should have already crossed the Yunmeng Marsh."

Nuwa pondered for a moment and said:

"The place where this great calamity will befall is the northern continent. Once this era is over, the calamity in the southern continent will likely be safely passed."

"Based on your previous prediction, the ferocious beasts from both the eastern and western continents will all enter the north within three cycles."

"Now that the location of the calamity has been identified, one side is Shenni and the ferocious beast. But what about the other side? Haven't they appeared yet?"

Faced with Nuwa's question, Qi felt somewhat helpless, but then he thought that he was an outsider with a clearer perspective, while they were unaware of the inside story.

Qi then explained:

"The other side has already appeared; it is none other than us, the innate deities."

Nuwa was somewhat puzzled.

Upon seeing this, Qi said again:

"At present, only we innate deities can rival the strength of ferocious beasts. Other races are not yet capable enough to shoulder the calamity."

"There are many creatures in the primordial world, but most of them are mortal beings and not of great use."

"The ferocious beasts are inherently opposed to us, the innate saints, and their survival and evolution are too costly."

"Because they lack intelligence, they do not know how to restrain themselves. Their consciousness is clouded, and they do not understand the timing of heaven, causing too much damage to the primordial world."

"We are born of nature and nurtured by the earth, and are naturally indebted to the primordial world for our karma."

"At the same time, we also possess the destiny of heaven and earth. When ferocious beasts destroy the primordial world, they are destroying our cultivation."

"What's the point of keeping such things that are useless to all living beings in the world and that also ruin your cultivation?"

"Moreover, only the innate deities have the ability to resolve this disaster."

In response to Qi's explanation, Nuwa asked:

"Isn't there any way for them to coexist?"

Upon hearing this question, Qi felt that Nuwa seemed a bit too naive.

"Of course there are. As long as the ferocious beasts behave themselves to a certain level of strength, they will sacrifice themselves to replenish the world. We would be happy to see them."

Faced with Qi's answer, Nuwa said in disbelief:

"Isn't that just livestock?"

"Yes, livestock. For these creatures that have no intelligence and are of no use to the world except to replenish its energy, aren't they just fit to be livestock?"

"And this is the fundamental contradiction between the innate deities and the ferocious beasts."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa looked at Qi with an extremely unfamiliar expression.

Qi didn't care and continued boating on the water.
