The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 47 Endless Incarnations, Unpretentious

Feng Xi felt a little embarrassed.

He was exasperated when his act of feigning unconsciousness was exposed.

He stopped pretending, gave an awkward laugh, and scrambled to his feet.

He was afraid that if he continued to pretend, he would really be dragged over and used as bait to fish for the passing years!

I opened my eyes and cautiously looked around.

The first thing that catches the eye is the wealth that Feng Xi has been longing for.

They were all laid out to the side, each a storage bag, containing the wealth of hundreds of thousands of Golden Immortals of the Witch Clan, piled together casually.

It's clear that the person who attacked Feng Xi and gave him a wake-up call doesn't care about these things.

After all, he was... a powerful figure who could fish for the ages, and his words showed that he didn't seem to care much about the ancestors of the dragon race. He was implicitly a king of the human race, or at least a Great Luo Immortal.

How could such a powerful figure be interested in Feng Xi's meager possessions?

The core focus that truly made them pay attention and discuss was mainly on Kong Xuan, which also brought up the issues of the Phoenix lineage and the current atmosphere of the Feather Clan.

—A single peacock feather was plucked out and laid across a stone platform, where a phoenix the size of a palm hopped and jumped, stepping on it again and again.

Feng Xi glanced at it; the little phoenix was magnificent, its wings spread wide, its flowing colors dazzling and mesmerizing.

Even though her tiny eyes were filled with anger and resentment, combined with her figure, she still looked adorable.

"It's so cute, it would be delicious baked!"

"It's just a bit small... all the fat on its body wouldn't even make for two bites..."

A wicked thought crossed his mind, but he quickly suppressed it—because the phoenix's eyes instantly turned dangerous as it squinted at him.

Faced with this, Feng Xi chose to follow her heart and dared not have any more reckless thoughts.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the other side—beside a river that seemed to flow from nothingness, a majestic and awe-inspiring deity sat quietly with his back to him, holding a fishing rod with the fishing line submerged in the long river.

Feng Xi was familiar with that fishing rod—it was the tool that had given him a wake-up call earlier!

"I was knocked over by a fishing rod... and that dog..." His eyes swept to the side, where the black and white beast was wagging its tail happily, lying on the ground, holding a strange fruit in its paws, licking it from time to time, with a satisfied smile on its face.

Perhaps sensing Feng Xi's gaze, the dog gave him a dignified and wise smile, and then... pulled the fruit closer to its chest.

"So this is how I got scammed by someone like this?" Feng Xi tried hard to control the twitching in her cheeks. "When someone else goes fishing, I eagerly join in, only to get casually knocked over... What kind of nonsense is this?"

"A willing participant?"

I had a thousand words in my heart, but when the words reached my lips, I couldn't say a word.

With just one phrase, "maipi," everything is condensed and refined to the extreme, stuck in the throat, neither up nor down.

"What? Not going to keep getting dizzy?" The sacred fisherman chuckled, turning his head leisurely. "What a pity... If you wait a little longer, you'll experience what it feels like to be swept away by the river of time."

"That's a privilege that only those at the peak of the Taiyi realm can enjoy... To experience the erosion of time, to refine one's true self and uniqueness in endless space and time, in preparation for the ultimate leap to prove oneself as a Great Luo and traverse the river of time."

"What a rare opportunity!"

The deity sighed, "If you can ensure that your consciousness is not washed away and covered by the endless information in the river of time, you will be able to comprehend a bit of the mystery of time's eternity. In the future, your success rate in reaching the peak of Taiyi will increase by 30%."

Hearing this, Feng Xi smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for your kindness, senior... but I've only just attained the Golden Immortal realm, and the Taiyi Peak is such a distant realm, I shouldn't aim too high... Wait?!"

"You...you are the Great Sage Fuxi?!"

He opened his eyes wide.

Grasping the truth from the aura surrounding that created a solemn atmosphere, Feng Xi saw the true face of this sacred being.

At the same time, he finally understood why the voice sounded familiar.

Feng Xi initially thought that it was the various accents he had encountered while running business and talking to thousands of businessmen over the past few days that gave him this misconception.

But that's not the case.

The source of the sound was none other than the Great Sage Fuxi, who had left a deep impression on him and had fought wits and courage against the Ancestral Witch Dijiang!

But why?

This must be where Xi Huang, who was scheming against Di Jiang Zu Wu, would be fishing.

Could it be that the act of "slacking off" has already infiltrated even the highest levels of the demon race?

"Little fellow, you're making a fuss over nothing." Fuxi chuckled. "The Great Luo, eternally free in endless time and space, can transform into trillions upon trillions, omnipresent and all-encompassing—we are the Dao!"

The Tao is everywhere!

"So what if I have a few clones or alternate accounts?"

"What? You don't believe it?"

"If you don't believe me, I'll use a few more accounts to let you know."

Fuxi, the Great Sage, had a very warm smile, but the next moment, he turned out to be directing a horror movie.

The nearby mountains came to life.

The mountain has a spirit; the mountain vibrates and makes sounds.

"Hello, I am Fuxi."

The mighty river flows on and on.

Countless water droplets rose into the air, reflecting the radiant sunlight and casting rainbow shadows.

The river, with its spirit, displays a rainbow refracted from water droplets, which, in a haphazard arrangement, form a line of words, greeting the river.

"Hello, I am Fuxi."

Above the heavens, clouds and mist flowed, and at this moment, everything suddenly changed.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not.

A gust of wind blew by, deforming the clouds and mist, naturally forming a sentence in the sky.

"Hello, I am Fuxi."

……

Feng Xi's face was blank; what could he possibly say at this moment?

There's nothing more to say.

"Eternal freedom, endless incarnations." Fuxi sighed softly, "I'm a little confused, I don't know how many versions of myself there are... Perhaps, it's just infinity."

"The me who negotiated with Dijiang was me."

"The me sitting here fishing is also me."

"Even you... are actually me."

Fuxi smiled.

"You're kidding, right?" Feng Xi's pupils dilated. "How could I possibly be someone else's incarnation?"

"Oh, no, I misspoke..." He suddenly became excited, a little thrilled, "Is it true?"

Feng Xi's expression immediately changed, and she almost lunged forward to hug his leg, crying, "It's the real me! It's me!"

"Look at me, your alter ego, I'm in such a sorry state now... I've almost lost all my integrity just to make a little money."

"Could you please have mercy and help me?"

"I don't ask for much, just share your cultivation level and spiritual power with me, and maybe ten or eight innate spiritual treasures would also be fine..."

I'm a noob, please carry me!

In just a few words, Feng Xi vividly and figuratively expressed this meaning.

He was excited, but Fuxi remained silent.

This lofty and majestic deity looked Feng Xi up and down with a strange gaze, smacked his lips, and said, "You are truly the most shameless, no, the most unpretentious person I have ever met..."

"Are you abandoning your independent consciousness and free values? Are you just waiting to have them all covered by me?"

"Only the strong who can break the rules deserve to talk about independence and freedom..." Feng Xi complained. "I'm just a lowly witch limited by survival and development issues. Every day I have to consider the allocation of cultivation resources and my survival in the great calamity to come..."

"On the surface, I am free... but beneath the countless invisible frameworks and shackles of this world..."

"To put it bluntly, I'm just a puppet on a string, or a leek being harvested one after another... What's the point of talking about independent thought and free values... Why bother patting myself on the back?"

"In public, I appear cheerful and carefree, as if everything is fine. But behind the scenes, I endure countless pressures and frustrations, feeling lost and worried about the future... Why bother?"

Feng Xi declared confidently, "My goal isn't actually that grand... I just want to live a peaceful life, without worrying about my safety, and to be able to do whatever I want without anyone restricting me... That's enough!"

"If I had to define the timeframe of my life, I would hope it would be—eternity!"

Fuxi's lips twitched, and twitched again—he had never seen such a uniquely styled person before, and he felt powerless and defeated.

He rubbed his temples and laid his cards on the table, "Rescue is impossible, and taking him flying is impossible... Just give up on that idea."

"No!" Feng Xi wailed, "Aren't we all on the same side? You can't be so heartless!"

"No, no, no, I misspoke... You are not actually my incarnation." Fuxi shook his head repeatedly. "I sympathize with your plight, but I am powerless to help you."

"How could this happen?" Feng Xi was deeply shocked. "Even someone as important as you likes to joke around now?"

"He wasn't actually joking, he just didn't finish his sentence." Little Phoenix spoke up at this moment, becoming a beacon illuminating the darkness in Feng Xi's heart.

Feng Xi turned his head and listened to what she had to say.

"You are his incarnation, yet you are not his incarnation..." The little phoenix flapped its wings, eager to teach, "Actually, you are also the incarnation of all the Great Luo Immortals."

"Holy crap? Am I that awesome?" Feng Xi was dumbfounded.

"Of course not," the phoenix said slowly, "because all beings below the Great Luo level are the common incarnations of all Great Luo beings."

"Otherwise, how can the supreme dignity and absolute authority of the Great Luo be demonstrated?!"

"The Primordial World is a game. If you don't become a Great Luo Immortal, you're just a player in the game, a piece of data... But a Great Luo Immortal is a player, an administrator, and a holder of authority."

"We can manipulate data and substitute specific roles... that's the truth of it all."

"The Great Luo is the Dao." Though small, the phoenix spoke with great authority. "The Dao evolves heaven and earth... All living beings in heaven and earth achieve their existence by following the principles of the Dao."

"Every Great Luo Immortal participated in the great project of building the primordial world, providing data for this world... However, due to differences in strength, their respective proportions also differ."
