Zhou Shan transmigrates into the primordial world, but instead of becoming an innate god or demon, or a member of the Dragon, Phoenix, or Qilin races, he winds up as... a half-conscious rock at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains?!
With the Dragon-Han Calamity approaching and baleful energy filling the air, Zhou Shan is on the verge of despair when he unexpectedly awakens the [Earth Vein Editor] System.
System: “Ding! Quest issued: Disrupt the western spiritual leyline and help Demon Ancestor Luohu. Reward: Primordial Wutu Essence!”
Zhou Shan: “You want a mere Earth Immortal like me to undermine Dao Ancestor Hongjun? Are you trying to get me killed even faster?”
Faced with this rotten System, Zhou Shan steels himself and uses his innate divine ability, “Assimilation,” to refine it. To his surprise, he fuses with a fragment of the [Law of the Earth]!
He can earn feedback in the form of Creation Essence just by organizing ley lines and altering the course of mountains and rivers? And Creation Essence can define the foundations of all things? Zhou Shan suddenly gets it!
And so, the entire landscape of the primordial world goes haywire.
Demon Ancestor Luohu: “Why has the spiritual energy in my Immortal Slaying Sword Formation become sluggish? Why won’t the western leyline answer my call?”
Dao Ancestor Hongjun: “Strange. Why has Jade Capital Mountain, the destined site of my Daoist sanctuary, lost all its spiritual aura and become a barren mountain?”
The Three Pure Ones of the East: “Why has our home, Kunlun Mountain, grown legs and run away?!”
The Will of Heaven is dumbfounded. Why is all the geography of the primordial world completely wrong?
Pangu’s true spirit is stunned. My backbone, Buzhou Mountain... seems to have a mind of its own?
Years later, Zhou Shan has transformed into Buzhou Mountain itself, supporting the heavens and reshaping the mountain ranges and river networks of the Myriad Worlds.
I am the ancestral vein of the earth!
Zhou Shan: “Who says there’s no future in not becoming an innate god or demon? As an Earth Immortal, a true immortal of the earth, I’m giving the whole primordial world a foot rub! What a relief!”
[Wildly satisfying! Subversive! Digging holes, literally! Master of the primordial earth!]
On the contrary, even Tiangang Hongjun can't defeat Yangmei. If you raise eyebrows, you will become Hongjun's apprentice.
