Hermit in the Mountains

2030年9月1日凌晨

On Changsheng Peak, Gu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back. A 'buzz' sounded in his ears, and the world seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Here it comes—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin mist rose from the blue planet, and all living beings fell into a deep sleep.

The entire blue planet was shrouded in spiritual mist and plunged into darkness.

The blue planet seems to be breathing, and with each inhale and exhale, its volume increases.

A supreme power of law spread from Earth to the universe.

The earth of the blue planet is being stretched, mountains are being raised, and rivers are being widened.

The rain fell incessantly, nourishing all living things and filling rivers and lakes.

The size of plants and animals is increasing dramatically, and new lineages are evolving.

Countless rare and exotic plants and beasts began to sprout like bamboo shoots.

The blue sky was riddled with cracks, and countless worlds were projected onto the heavens.

As the projections multiplied, they eventually fell across various parts of Earth.

Some merged into the earth, some merged into the sea, and some transformed into secret realms hidden in the void.

As more and more worlds merged into it, the size of Earth began to explode.

Ten times, a hundred times... a thousand times.

Overnight, the diameter of Earth increased a thousandfold, and its area expanded more than three thousandfold.

The crack in the sky closed, and in the blink of an eye, countless tiny black dots appeared again.

Upon closer inspection, these small black dots are actually cracks the size of basketballs.

Bright specks of light flew out of the crack and fell to various parts of the blue planet.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng merged his mind into the origin of heaven and earth, observing the process of these otherworldly spirits descending from the perspective of the heavens.

He was self-aware and did not pry into the world behind the crack out of curiosity.

With the cultivation levels of top-tier beings and gods/demons, who would be able to detect his gaze?

If I subconsciously unleash a strike along the path of time and space, and it blows up the Blue Star, that would be incredible.

The two orbs of light that fell into Wandao Mountain caught Gu Changsheng's attention.

His divine sense probed into the ball of light, and in the blink of an eye, he knew the origin of the true spirit within it.

The True Spirit of Cangjie, the Ancestor of the Primordial Human Race.

Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Primordial Intercepting Sect.

These two were reincarnated souls and were fortunate enough to find a good home in accordance with their destiny.

As long as they can be successfully reincarnated, there will be no problem with them growing up safely.

Unfortunately, the guidance of fate could not penetrate the fortune that shrouded Wandao Mountain.

Wandao Mountain can be said to be the safest place on Blue Star, with Gu Changsheng, a sage of heaven and earth, presiding over it, several supreme treasures guarding it, and the fortune of the Changsheng Sect protecting it.

If it were during the prime of Cangjie and Zhao Gongming's lives, there would be no problem; destroying the Earth would be a piece of cake.

At this moment, they were merely wisps of true spirits, possessing no power whatsoever. They could only drift along the guiding path of destiny on Blue Star to the place most suitable for their reincarnation.

Gu Changsheng glanced at them and saw that their true spirits were pure and flawless, without any cause or effect or karma.

Since the two of their true spirits have come to Wandao Mountain, it is their good fortune.

With a thought, the obstruction vanished.

The spirit of Cangjie, the ancestor of Chinese civilization, fell into Wandao City and flew into the womb of Yang Qingshan's wife.

The reincarnation of Zhao Gongming's true spirit was not so smooth; he was once again blocked from entering.

Gu Changsheng looked at Zhao Gongming, who had gone through many hardships in his reincarnations, and thought about what the other party had experienced in the prehistoric world.

In his hands, the Twenty-Four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were merely a set of top-tier offensive weapons.

It was only after passing through the hands of the Taoist Ran Deng that he reached his true peak, using the Qiankun Ruler to integrate with the Dinghai Divine Pearl to open up the twenty-six heavens, and possessing the power of the twenty-four directions of the heavens.

With the power of all the heavens, the Taoist Ran Deng ambushed the Taoist Tong Tian during the Investiture of the Gods and killed the Holy Mother Jin Ling in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, ushering in the most glorious moment of his life.

Well, Zhao Gongming is a bit unlucky.

Ling Xuzi's true form is, after all, an innate treasure embryo. Even if Ling Xuzi falls into a deep sleep, it is not something that Zhao Gongming's true spirit can break through.

Without external assistance, he could only evolve a secret realm to nurture himself.

This external force is solely from Gu Changsheng.

Those who come here are destined to be here. With a thought, Gu Changsheng opened the reincarnation channel for them.

Without any obstruction, Zhao Gongming's true spirit flew into the Longevity Cave and entered the womb of the mother of Jin Yuanbao and his two siblings.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng was a little curious about what name Zhao Gongming would choose in the future.

Gold and copper coins, gold ingots, gold and copper treasures...

After all, we already have gold ingots, silver ingots, and jade ingots, so the most likely outcome is a bronze ingot.

Zhao Gongming was reincarnated as a human, and his fortune merged with that of the Jin family, causing the fortune of the business route to surge several times over in an instant.

It turns out that the change was caused by the unique spiritual treasure that Zhao Gongming brought with him.

Zhao Gongming's true spirit carries a wisp of the original power of the Falling Treasure Coin, which aligns with the principles of commerce.

Perhaps this is why Zhao Gongming was able to come to Wandao Mountain.

Gu Changsheng nodded as he watched the business acumen surge. Business was one of the means to promote the cultivation civilization.

Cangjie followed the path of writing, creating a new script, thus providing a carrier for civilization and preventing any break in its development.

He connected them all, finding them to be related to the advancement of civilization.

He understood why fate had guided the two of them to be reborn in Wandao Mountain.

Gu Changsheng's gaze left Wandao Mountain and stopped when his eyes swept to a ball of light in the south.

Upon probing with divine sense, another familiar figure from the primordial era was revealed.

Nezha—

Gu Changsheng realized that the monkey's reincarnation was already in the Longevity Cave.

Two of the three traitors from Heaven have already been reincarnated on Earth; the only one missing is the three-eyed dog-raising one.

Sun Wukong openly rebelled, attacking the Heavenly Court a hundred years after his birth, his motto being "If you don't agree, I'll fight you."

Yang Jian secretly rebelled, adhering to orders but not proclamations; he would secretly help whoever attacked the Heavenly Court.

Nezha is a ruthless character who is always ready to rebel. He is known for his willingness to return his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother. He is a man who will join the anti-heaven camp whoever attacks the Heavenly Court.

His attention was always on the pagoda in his father Li Jing's hands, and he was always ready to stab his father in the back.

It's anyone's guess whether they'll cause trouble once they awaken their past life memories and are no longer bound by constraints in three days.

Gu Changsheng watched as Nezha's true spirit fell into a volcano and flew into a crimson spiritual lotus.

Nezha's true spirit did not carry any spiritual treasures from his previous life. In this life, he was truly without father or mother, and would be lawless in the future.

With a thought, Gu Changsheng sent a mass containing Dao seed techniques and insights into the fire element into the crimson spiritual lotus.

He got playful and extracted the innate, indestructible primordial energy from three fire-elemental energy nodes inside the volcano, then infused it into Nezha's true spirit.

The innate, indestructible power of the source evolved into the phantoms of the Fire-Tipped Spear, the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), and the Wind and Fire Wheels.

With a solid foundation and all the necessary skills, there will be a great show to watch in the future.

Nezha, a pure fire-type, will likely have a fiery temper in the future; he might even resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

The world needs a few troublemakers; otherwise, harmony among all parties would be detrimental to the progress of civilization.

We must develop and progress through struggle.

He definitely wouldn't learn from the Primordial Great Tribulation; that would be going too far and ruining himself.

Without affecting the development of Earth, we must occasionally trigger a cataclysm to eliminate some beings that cannot keep up with the times.

Let its true spirit be reincarnated, and let its soul power, cultivation, magic power, and enlightenment return to heaven and earth.

Each calamity selects several victorious forces to become the foundation of Blue Star, and they venture out to conquer the wilderness to generate the source power for Blue Star.

In the future, the three sages will serve as commanders, with top experts under their command as generals, to conquer one extraterrestrial world after another, and seize the world's origin to nourish Blue Star.

The Blue Star Inner Calamity serves as a selection competition for pioneers in the conquest of the world.

Internal friction is undesirable; we must find a way to generate revenue from external sources.

Gu Changsheng looked at the little Easter egg he had buried with satisfaction and looked away from the volcano.

Several more clusters of true spiritual light entered Gu Changsheng's vision. He muttered to himself, "Have we stumbled upon the heart of the Jie Sect?"

He thought about it and understood the reason.

The core disciples of the Jie Sect were basically wiped out during the Investiture of the Gods. Now that they have a chance to be reborn, why not give it a shot?

The true spirits of the Three Immortal Maidens manifested as a small secret realm, hidden among the clouds and drifting in the wind.

Three illusory clouds are being nurtured in the Cloud Realm.

One colorful, one purple, and one turquoise.

The three sisters did not bring their original spiritual treasures from their previous lives, meaning they left with nothing.

A node of metal-elemental spiritual energy materialized into a three-foot-long illusory green sword, which flew into the colorful clouds;

A node of wind and cloud spiritual energy materialized into a pair of illusory wings, which flew into the azure clouds;

A node of earth-elemental spiritual energy transformed into a dark yellow ribbon, which flew into the purple clouds.

The true spirits of the four inner disciples of the Jie Sect have all evolved into secret realms and are hidden in the void.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect included the Three No-True Persons - Huanglong Zhenren, whose true spirit was reincarnated on Lanxing.

Gu Changsheng examined Huanglong Zhenren's true spirit and found that he did not carry a single wisp of spiritual treasure essence, which was indeed poor.

With a thought, a node of water-based spiritual energy in the sea was condensed into a wisp of innate, indestructible spiritual light.

The innate, indestructible spiritual light evolved into a bright blue bead and flew into the Yellow Dragon.

He also casually gave him the Dao Seed Method.

No matter how hard you try, it's no match for a single stroke of fate.

These true spirits reincarnated on Earth are beneficial to Earth.

Gu Changsheng was capricious; he would lend a hand whenever he felt like it.

What fun things will these little Easter eggs bring in the future? We'll just have to wait and open the blind box. A boring life needs a little surprise.

Gu Changsheng shifted his gaze from the interior of Earth to outer space.
