This primordial world is extraordinary.

Chapter 37: A Strange Similarity

"And I am the one who makes the decisions on major matters, influencing the overall situation of the primordial world."

Kunpeng is very confident in himself.

"Ahem, let's get back to the main topic..." Kunpeng continued, "According to Xiaoyi's calculations, it will take at least seven days to digest the strange arm, which isn't a long time."

Rotten wood can be digested in a day or two, so I won't go into details.

"It's neither long nor short. After all, it's the essence above the level of a small world. Xiao Yi's mere seed space is separated from the Hengsha Blessed Land, the Weiguang Cave Heaven... and even the small world itself?"

The differences in the world are so vast.

Perhaps even a single spirit stone within a small world is an unsolvable advanced mathematical problem for the seed space.

Xiao Yi possesses both academic excellence and a special talent for problem-solving, yet even so, it still takes her quite a bit of time.

"I thought that a ten-day break followed by a month-long hiatus would be a long time, but now it seems that even a month-long break might not be enough for Xiaoyi to process all the gains from the ten days."

Kunpeng thought to himself.

"However, we mustn't be arrogant. Perhaps we're just lucky today, enjoying the benefits of being newbies, and that's how we've managed to acquire this strange entity. Maybe we won't find anything in the next nine days?"

That's possible.

The ten-day period is actually only five days in reality.

After all, they don't work overtime at night.

Working through the night, that's what makes a complete ten days.

They've already wasted half their time.

"Once things get familiar and things are on track, we might need to work overtime?"

Suddenly something occurred to me...

"...Damn it, I hate working overtime."

The thought of possibly having to work overtime brought back unpleasant memories of the past, reminding him of his days as a workaholic.

"I worked overtime before I was reborn, and now I still have to work overtime? Didn't I waste my rebirth?"

"Besides, I could accept working overtime when I was a mortal, there was nothing I could do. But now that I've become a primordial deity, why should I still work overtime?"

That immediately turned out to be bad.

I feel terrible.

"Fellow Daoist, have you rested?"

Kunpeng, who was feeling very uncomfortable, was interrupted by a voice.

"Not yet? Fellow Daoist Xiyi, you haven't rested either."

Kunpeng saw that it was Xiyi walking over.

"I can't sleep. Today I finally learned about my special ability. I thank Fellow Daoist Kunpeng."

Xi Yi is so excited in the middle of the night.

It seems today's harvest was quite impressive.

He used to always tell people to be reasonable and polite.

He didn't know why, he only knew that this was his mission.

Only today do I realize that the greatest aspect of etiquette is civilization.

Only civilization will never fade and will never be forgotten.

With civilization in one hand and oblivion in the other, Xi Yi has finally determined his Dao heart today.

He believes that all of this changed after he encountered Kunpeng.

Therefore, he is very grateful to Kunpeng.

"It was yours to begin with, no need to thank me. I just gave you a push." ​​Kunpeng was also very honest.

You thank me and acknowledge my contributions; I'm a straightforward person who doesn't talk much.

"Besides, I brought you into such a dangerous world. I just hope you won't blame me for pushing you into the water."

Kunpeng continued.

"Pushed into the water? How could that be?" Xi Yi quickly shook his head and said, "Even if I were really pushed into the water, I'm still a boat. I'm grateful to have been pushed into the water, finally I have a use... Before, on the shore, I was just rotting."

"Hmm?" Kunpeng was taken aback, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Truly a cultured person."

But in my heart I was thinking: Why didn't Xiaoyi pass on any culture to me? It's really awesome to be cultured.

"Hehe." Xi Yi waved his hand.

If you had called him a cultured person before, he would have been a little happy, but also a little self-conscious.

What's the use of being cultured if you're still just eating grass?

Things are completely different now, so very different!

Once you gain confidence, everything changes.

Oh, right, speaking of eating grass...

"Look at me, I forgot." Xi Yi patted his head and said, "I came here mainly to ask if you want some late-night snacks, fellow Daoist. We're going to explore another world tomorrow."

"Yes, we have to work tomorrow."

Memories that were just forgotten have resurfaced.

Before Xi Yi interrupted him, he was annoyed that he was a sacred body of cattle and horses.

"What kind of late-night snack?"

Kunpeng forcefully shifted his thinking.

"Huh?" Xi Yi pulled a handful of grass from his pocket and said, "We can't eat fancy food all the time; we have to save it. How about we eat some grass instead?"

Kunpeng: ...

"Ha ha……"

Kunpeng smiled, but why were the corners of his eyes crystal clear?

Those who know this place will think it's a prehistoric wasteland, while those who don't will think it's a famine.

"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng?"

Xi Yi did not understand.

Kunpeng bowed solemnly to Xiyi and said, "Thank you for enlightening me, fellow Daoist. Thank you very much."

"Me? I enlightened you, fellow Daoist?" Xi Yi was completely confused.

Kunpeng, however, suddenly understood.

Humans are never satisfied.

I forgot that just a few days ago I was worried about food and clothing, how come in just a few days I'm so arrogant that I don't even want to work anymore?

Having a job is better than the desperate situation I was in a few days ago.

"So, are you going to eat it or not?"

Xi Yi didn't understand, but was greatly shocked, and asked another question.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. I won't eat anymore; I'm not hungry for the moment."

Kunpeng refused.

"Alright then, fellow Daoist, you should get some rest."

Seeing that Kunpeng didn't eat his midnight snack, Xiyi put the grass back into his pocket, leaving only a little to eat; he was a bit hungry.

He then took his leave so as not to disturb Kunpeng's rest.

"Sigh, the big shot who has both civilization and oblivion is eating grass, and I'm just being coy and making a fuss over nothing, aren't I?"

Kunpeng was truly awakened by Xiyi.

…………

The next day, the sun rose slowly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday the Heavenly Dao conveyed its message: the harvest from the other world will be suppressed in the starry sky to return to its original state, in order to mend the imbalance of heaven and earth... Behold!"

As soon as Kunpeng finished speaking.

Yesterday's spoils—a strange arm and a piece of bloodstained rotten wood—began to slowly rise into the air.

And its speed increased rapidly, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.

"Buzz!"

A dull thud echoed throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Suddenly, a distorted sensation swept across the sun in the sky, and the previously bright sunlight was inexplicably stained with a blood-red hue.

It resembled a blood-red sun.

If they hadn't known the situation, they would have been shocked.

This sun, while not exactly the same as the sun in the other world, does bear some resemblance.

What kind of place is that other world? Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed. They certainly don't want their ancient homeland to become like that.

"It's alright, it's just that the strange thing has been suppressed and is in the process of returning to its original state," Kunpeng said.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded solemnly.

I know there's no problem, but I'm still worried.

It's still because of the influence of the other world.

"Furthermore, during the period of Heaven's suppression and return to the origin, there will inevitably be some minor impacts, but there's no need to worry about that. It won't affect us."

Kunpeng added another explanation.

"What kind of impact? Distortion?" Hongjun asked.

"As wise as Fellow Daoist Hongjun is, you guessed correctly, indeed," Kunpeng laughed.

Ultimately, it's about digesting the bizarre entity, so it's inevitable that it will be affected.

At least for the current prehistoric world, this is the case.

It somewhat caters to the idea that in the early days of the world, the primordial world was filled with the rampant obsessions and resentment of chaotic demons, making it a desolate and apocalyptic place.
