The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

The elder is dying.

Death is a very common thing in this era.

And the feeling of sadness will spread as a result.

The elder's new journey is not a metaphor; he is truly leaving.

He said he should have left long ago, but because Lozul kept him there and was willing to share his hunting spoils with the elders, he was able to stay in the settlement without having to face the dangers of the outside world.

He was so old that his bones were about to rot away that he could no longer hunt, and if he left the settlement, he might not even be able to pick any edible fruit.

This aging is a matter of fate, unless one encounters a deity or some extraordinary adventure.

But serendipitous encounters are rarely so easy to come by.

Although Luo Zu imagined the primordial world to be full of spiritual treasures and spiritual roots, reality was not so abundant.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around this mountain, there are no decent spiritual roots at all; the spiritual herbs available are usually only used to treat minor ailments such as headaches and fevers.

Such diseases also existed in the primordial world, and they could affect the first generation of humans with their robust physiques.

It was only after Luo Zu created the breathing method that such diseases became less common.

However, aging is irreversible; it is a natural law, the way of heaven.

Unless there really is a god.

As Luo Zu watched the elder's receding figure, a deep sadness welled up in his heart: "Sun Wukong must have felt the same way back then."

The fear of death.

The elder's passing did not cause much of a ripple in the settlement; people continued hunting, having children, and living their lives as usual.

It's unclear how the goddess Nuwa created the human race or why she made reproduction her top priority.

That's not right either. Later, Luo Zu realized that the primary goal of most creatures in the primordial world was reproduction...

Expand the population, then fight for territory.

Even those who embark on the path of spiritual practice and find a bright future are no exception.

Of course, since I haven't had much contact with Luo Zu, I can't draw any conclusions casually.

Although Luo Zu was also saddened and wanted to persuade the elder to stay, the elder refused.

"I remember that when our companions couldn't catch any prey, they would leave us and die out there. I even saw the body of one of our companions during a hunt once. He only had one hand left, but I still recognized him."

The elder was resolute; survival on this vast, untamed land was no easy task.

Not to mention those demon tribes, even the wild beasts and ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests can take the lives of weak humans. There are also some strange mountain and forest diseases, poisonous insects and miasma, and even the forest itself may eat people.

Since Luo Zu came of age and began hunting, he has encountered many strange beasts and bizarre environments.

Furthermore, it's best not to go out at night in the desolate land, because there are not only wild beasts, but also "ghosts".

At this time, there was no concept of "ghost," but rather the term "spirit" was used as a substitute, a term passed down from the elders.

It is said that a shaman told them this.

In short, humanity is insignificant.

Luo Zu knew he had to be more humble in the face of the primordial world, and that he could not act as the protagonist of the primordial world just because he was a so-called transmigrator.

I'd be content to be a minor immortal or supporting character in the grand formation of ten thousand immortals that will one day be conferred the title of gods.

However, it's best to avoid getting involved in the Investiture of the Gods if possible, since you might end up on the Investiture of the Gods list and become a civil servant in the Heavenly Court.

The day after the elder left, Luo Zu spent most of his time, apart from hunting during the day and eating, drinking, relieving himself, and getting about three hours of sleep, immersed in his research on supernatural powers.

The Small Terran 2.0 project has begun.

So he has to study his own brain first.

The spiritual energy absorbed through the breathing technique gradually seeps into the fragile brain.

He had tried this before, but he had never succeeded. He always failed at the threshold. Whenever spiritual energy penetrated his brain, he would first feel dizzy, and then feel as if ten thousand needles were pricking his head.

His human companions were the same; they didn't know if their methods were wrong, but everyone felt dizzy and their heads felt like they were being pricked with needles.

In the dead of night, amidst the snoring of his companions, Luo Zu attempted the exercise again.

The result was self-evident: he failed again.

Every day, after washing his forehead with spring water from the cave, fine beads of sweat appeared.

He breathed deeply, expelling the waste gases produced by the body's high energy consumption.

But Luo Zu could not stop trying; the elder's departure spurred him on, making him dare not stop.

After seven attempts, Luo Zu felt he had reached his limit. If he continued like this, his fragile brain might suffer, so he temporarily gave up.

Let's rest for one night and continue tomorrow night.

This went on for three months, going back and forth like this.

Luo Zu finally made progress.

On a stormy night, he successfully broke through the barrier and saw his "brain".

The meat was sticky and juicy, not much different from the pig brains he loved to eat in his past life...

But this is only the first step. Next, we need to explore the structure of our brains and observe every single millimeter of the texture.

During this time, Luo Zu suddenly discovered that his breathing technique, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally had a slight possibility of improvement.

The spiritual energy absorbed into his body is transforming. Originally, he could only command it to nourish his physical body, but now he can manipulate it at will.

"Spiritual?" Luo Zu was not a naive "caveman" of this era; he also possessed the wisdom of his past life.

He quickly identified the variables, after all, he was now exploring the brain, which represented God.

However, according to common sense from my previous life... ugh, I've already transmigrated to the prehistoric world, why bother with common sense anymore?

In short, Luo Zu guessed that it was most likely the spirit.

It's quite dramatic that Luo Zu has already made progress in his breathing technique before he has even conducted further experiments within his own world.

In addition to the changes in the spiritual energy he absorbed, Luo Zu also discovered that the two supernatural powers, "The World Within the Pot" and "Manipulating Creation," had also changed accordingly.

They've been upgraded.

Surprises keep coming in like this.

I was too timid before, otherwise I wouldn't have only made a breakthrough now.

It was the departure of the last elder in the settlement that spurred him to have such courage.

Although the breathing technique has made progress, the experiment must continue.

This is the primordial wilderness; how could he be complacent about such a small amount of progress?

The next day, he took the initiative to wake up the hunting team members and set off for hunting half an hour earlier than usual.

In this settlement, Luo Zu was worshipped by the simple "caveman" people because of his abilities, and they respected him as the captain of the hunting team and the chief of the settlement. Of course, at this time there were no classes or official positions, and no one was aware of such things. They would just consult Luo Zu when they encountered any problems.
