Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Chapter 117 The Primordial Continent

Suddenly, time within his body stabilized, and Nuolanshan was no longer confused, even forgetting his earlier confusion.

"Oh, I remember now. And it's very clear. Sure enough, your memory becomes stronger after your strength improves," Nuolanshan said with a smile.

Then he began to build the primordial continent.

First, there is Mount Buzhou, the most important and iconic landmark on the primordial continent.

Up!

With the power of the world mobilized, a towering mountain rose from the ground and stood in the very center of the continent, dividing the primordial world into the east and the west.

Moreover, in order to better fit the primordial world, Mount Nuolan was specially shaped like a human spine, as if it were a resentful giant who still stood tall and upright even in death.

"It seems like something is missing." Nuolanshan looked at Buzhou Mountain and felt that something was missing. Although the mountain was tall and majestic, it lacked a certain charm.

"By the way, if it's just a mountain, it would be too monotonous. We should add some law runes, since there will definitely be living beings in the primordial world in the future."

Following this line of thought, let's designate this mountain as a mountain of inheritance, where one can obtain inheritance or treasures by traversing a certain number of meters.

Yes, that's it. That fits the treasure-hunting plot in the prehistoric world genre perfectly.

Those rare and precious treasures will be protected by natural formations. If anyone who ventures into Buzhou Mountain can break the formations I set up, then he will be qualified to obtain that item.

Under such a mechanism, Buzhou Mountain will inevitably become the sacred mountain of the primordial world, and all living beings of the primordial world will surely come to challenge it.

My strength comes from the cashback program for taking on apprentices. If someone can reach the summit, they must have exceptional talent, and I can take them on as apprentices directly.

Well, in this way, the Primordial Continent becomes my petri dish for training disciples.

Perfect."

Having figured this out, Nuolanshan began enthusiastically inscribing law runes on Buzhou Mountain, and randomly placing items and setting up restrictions in some places on Buzhou Mountain.

This step took Nuolanshan a full ten years, and it was also the process of him organizing his insights into the laws.

"Finally finished." Looking at Mount Buzhou, which was surrounded by laws, Nuolanshan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After arranging Buzhou Mountain, Nuolan Mountain set about arranging the Blood Sea, the East, West, South, and North Seas, Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, Yingzhou Island, Kunlun Mountain Range, and other famous tourist attractions in the prehistoric world.

The originally monotonous prehistoric world has now become rich and colorful.

Oh dear, how silly of me, I forgot the two most important places.

Nuolanshan slapped his forehead, realizing he had been so focused on the ground that he had forgotten about the sky.

Nuolanshan stretched out his right hand, and a small three-legged golden crow appeared in his hand.

This is the Three-Legged Golden Crow's natal fire; with it, even if the Three-Legged Golden Crow self-destructs, it will not die.

"Go."

At Nuolanshan's command, the natal fire took flight and soared into the sky.

For every meter it rose, its size increased by one centimeter, until it finally transformed into the sun of the entire primordial continent.

With the sun established, the moon is about to be born as well.

Mount Noran used the power of the world to begin condensing a lunar star, which does not emit its own light but only reflects the light of the sun.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, Nuolanshan sent out endless cosmic crystals that hung in the air like stars.

"Turn!" With a loud shout from Nuolanshan, the sun began to rise in the east and set in the west, and the entire prehistoric world was about to usher in its four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

After the tourist attractions are built, the next step is to bring in living creatures.

Noranshan took out a large number of cosmic crystals from his world ring and began to create things.

First, there are the representative races of the primordial era: dragon, phoenix, and qilin.

hold head high!

Boo!

Chi!

The three races appeared and lay prostrate at the foot of Mount Nuolan. However, they were newly born and had not yet developed intelligence, so they could not yet dominate the prehistoric world as in the legends.

In addition to these, Norlan Mountain also created some other races, all of which he had seen over the years.

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, Jackal, Wolf, Tiger, Leopard, Dung Beetle, Mosquito, Yes, Mosquito —

Then Noranshan got stuck because he couldn't think of any other animals he could create.

This is similar to writing a novel. Original works require a lot of brainpower, but writing fan fiction allows for rapid progress; you just need to fill in the existing structure.

"Sizzle!"

Pangu's clone suddenly stepped forward, directly slashed open his palm with an axe, letting the blood flow out naturally, and forcibly suppressed the wound from healing.

Pangu's clone was enormous, and the blood flowing from it was like a waterfall, quickly forming a blood pool resembling a large lake somewhere on Buzhou Mountain.

Pangu's clone then stopped controlling himself and allowed his wounds to heal instantly.

suddenly!

A hand reached out from the pool of blood, and then a monster crawled out of it.

Its body is shaped like a ball, red in color, with six legs and two pairs of wings. It has no head and no eyes.

Most importantly, it possesses spatial law runes, making it a true darling of the spatial law, and its potential is no less than that of the Demon Slayer Clan.

"This is Dijiang, the eldest of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!" Upon seeing him, Nuolanshan immediately understood his identity.

It's true that two heads are better than one; Pangu's clone provided Nuolanshan with a great idea.

The grand stage of the primordial world wasn't just about the Dragon-Han Calamity; there was also the Lich-Demon Calamity.

Leaving aside that calamity, from the perspective of Norlhanshan, the creator, this great calamity is a very good mechanism for selecting talent.

Only in the midst of battle can a person's true talent and strength be revealed; in fact, the entire universe employs the same selection mechanism.

A prime example is the slave trade.

For a group to grow, it needs a sufficient population and a sufficient number of geniuses.

The human race's 1008 universe is vast, and it's simply unrealistic to rely solely on various powers to discover talent. Therefore, the slave system and the policy that anyone who discovers an indigenous planet can buy it at a low price came into being.

Those slave owners, driven by profit, would frantically explore and excavate native planets, allowing the natives to integrate into the universe.

In particular, the human race's high-ranking officials only release slave chips that can control the universe level, because once someone reaches the domain lord level, they are considered a human genius and can be absorbed.

As for the slave owners who suffer the consequences, the higher-ups don't care; after all, every investment carries risk. Besides, if you're treating people like slaves, shouldn't you at least let them vent their frustrations?

Even geniuses need to be taken care of.

Even now, Nuolanshan thinks that the so-called primordial universe was actually a process of selecting true geniuses for the Origin Continent.

Even if only one god is born in a single cycle of reincarnation who can reach the Origin Continent, that would be considered a success.

It's just too cruel to the creatures living in it, but you have to make choices in everything you do.

For example, if Nuolanshan created these beings to select outstanding disciples, he wouldn't care about their lives. In his eyes, these beings were merely things he created casually, like clay figures.

If you're not satisfied with the clay figure, you can easily reshape it and start over without any trouble or guilt.

Perhaps this is what is meant by "the sage is ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs."

What if these clay figures later developed thoughts and learned what resistance meant?

Nolanshan has no objection at all. If they can break out of this world, it will be enough to prove their genius. Nolanshan doesn't mind taking them as his disciples.

Furthermore, Nolan Mountain hopes there will be as many clay figurines as possible.

Nuolanshan believes that when these clay figures can stand before him, they will see them from a divine perspective, just as he does now.

Forget about relatives, friends, and brothers-in-arms; you can just recreate them in your own world, it won't take much effort.

"Greetings, Father God!" The Twelve Ancestral Witches were successfully conceived. As expected of those formed from the essence and blood of Pangu's avatars, their intelligence far surpassed that of those created by Nuolanshan using cosmic crystals.

Pangu's clone said, "Go and climb. I hope that one day you will be able to stand before me."

This means Pangu's incarnation, and also means Mount Nuolan, except that Mount Nuolan is currently being created on the Sun and Moon stars.

The emperors of the demon race, Di Jun and Tai Yi, and the empresses of the demon race, Xi He and Chang Xi, should also be born by now.

Looking down from high above at the thriving prehistoric continent, Nuolanshan smiled.

What a beautiful world this is.

What he didn't know was that when Pangu's clone looked at this primordial continent, his eyes held a sense of reminiscence.

Long time no see, my primordial wilderness.
