Chaos filled the air, while the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged with a wild, primordial force.
Lin Xuan's consciousness awoke amid a tearing, searing pain.
He felt as though he had been thrown into a colossal furnace. The air around him was filled with a savage, ancient power, oppressive beyond measure. His body, a newly formed and still-immature humanoid figure, was greedily absorbing the purest spiritual energy in this world, yet he had no control over it.
"Cough..."
A mouthful of blood shimmering with golden light spilled from his lips. It hit the ground with a sizzling sound, corroding the hard black earth and leaving a small crater.
"Wh-where is this?"
Lin Xuan struggled to prop himself up and look around, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Before him stood towering ancient trees, far thicker than any he had ever known. Their bark was covered in moss and vines, and every leaf was as large as a fan, gleaming with a metallic sheen. Strange birds with wingspans several yards across darted among the branches, their piercing cries seeming to bore through his eardrums. In the distance, the faint roars of terrifying beasts made his soul tremble. Even their lingering echoes filled Lin Xuan with dread.
Primitive, savage, and crushingly oppressive.
This was no era or world he knew.
As his consciousness returned and a flood of memory fragments that did not belong to him surged into his mind, an indescribable understanding burst into being within him.
Nuwa creating humanity, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the War Between the Liches, the Investiture of the Gods calamity...
Words that existed only in myths and legends had now become real history.
I don't want to read it anymore, I really can't stand it, I'll just read a new book.
It's not just bad, it's awful; I simply can't stand it anymore.
