When chaos first stirred, one spirit alone awoke.
When Pangu's giant axe cleaved chaos apart, when Heaven and Earth first divided into pure and turbid, and when the countless lives of the Primordial World were still struggling to survive in ignorance, a wisp of innate spirit had already quietly awakened amid the embers of creation.
He was neither god nor demon, neither yaoguai nor witch, nor an innate divine being. He was merely the faintest spirit in the chaos, lucky enough to seize a fragment of the “Law of Disorder” amid the cataclysm of creation. Then, gravely wounded, he fell and sank into this newly born world.
As the three races fought without end across the Primordial World, as the witches and demons faced off in the heavens, and as the Saints one after another attained the Dao and the Heavenly Dao grew ever more complete, he remained in hiding in the darkest corners. Using the origin of chaos to “decipher” the laws of the Primordial World and Primordial Violet Qi as a “key to translation,” he quietly and steadily built the most unusual foundation for the Dao in all existence.
He had witnessed the laws roar during the fierce battles between dragons and phoenixes. He had watched the world collapse during the Witch-Demon Tribulation. When a Saint's divine sense swept past, he once used a chaotic formation to simulate “absolute nothingness” and successfully evade the Heavenly Dao's scrutiny. He had saved countless insignificant lives that should have perished in the ashes of tribulation, asking for no merit, only following his heart. He never sought to contend with anyone. He only wished to see clearly every line and pattern in this world.
He never entered a tribulation, yet at the height of every great tribulation, he would quietly act, not to fight against it, but to “redirect” its course.
Because he knew the path he had to walk lay beyond the Primordial World and was not under the Heavenly Dao's jurisdiction.
I just finished following these 15 chapters, and to be honest, I feel a little confused. The Xuanyuan you wrote is really not like the protagonist of a traditional online novel - he is just a glimmer of light struggling to survive underground. It is difficult to even "live", but it makes me feel so excited that I dare not breathe. Those laws wrap around it like chains, and the pain is really painful, but every time I learn something new and survive one more calamity, the small but solid sense of growth is particularly poignant. The pace is indeed slow, but once you read it, you will feel like the whole world is sinking beneath your feet. A very special work, I look forward to the day it breaks ground. Not enough!!!
It's a pretty good novel. The pace is a bit slow, but it has its own rhythm. Tomato is basically a fast-paced, mindless and refreshing novel. This novel has a unique angle. Old bookworms can read it.
