Chapter 1: Did I Transmigrate? Primordial Chaos?

  Yang Le, a university student about to graduate, is a 21st-century "four goods" (good money, good beauty, good pleasure, good fantasy) young man. Despite being an orphan with parents who passed away at a young age, he maintains an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. In his four years of university, Yang Le didn't have a single girlfriend, and his only hobby was going online to read novels. He can be said to be a standard bookworm, having dabbled in various genres such as classical fantasy, modern cultivation, urban life, and urban supernatural abilities. He spent over a year reading "Flying Upwards After Ascension".

  Tonight, Yang Le checked the starting point again and saw that several chapters had been updated. After reading them, he searched for other updates and couldn't help but complain: It's been a long time since a great work has appeared in the world. Fortunately, there are still a few works that can be read, otherwise, it would be unbearable to pass the days. He turned off the computer, turned off the lights, went to sleep, and performed a series of actions as smoothly as flowing clouds. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell fast asleep.

  However, in the unknown vastness of space, a region's spatial fluctuations coincidentally matched those of the bed where Yang Le was lying. The next moment, Yang Le vanished...

  "Ah, ah", Yang Le was sleeping soundly, when suddenly he felt like he was falling from a great height, and a sharp pain woke him up. Yang Le opened his eyes, brushing off the dust on his body as he got up, "Damn, I actually fell out of bed, how embarrassing!" He just lifted his head to see if his dorm mates had seen this embarrassing thing, or else it would be even more embarrassing if they found out in class! Just as he was about to investigate the situation, his body shook and a breathtakingly beautiful scene entered his line of sight: an azure sky that seemed to stretch on forever, a vast and majestic primeval forest on the left that towered above him like a giant, and behind him, a towering black mountain that reached heights of over a hundred million feet, with specks of emerald green scattered across its surface. The air was crisp and clean, and taking a deep breath made his internal organs feel refreshed and rejuvenated, full of vitality.

  But now is not the time to appreciate the scenery, but to think about where I am now. First, raise my head and look at that unknown billion-meter-high sky, just like facing a vast universe, it can be confirmed that this is not Earth. The familiar word "crossing" flashed through my mind, and a wave of sadness rushed straight to my chest. Although there's nothing left on Earth to worry about, it was still the hometown where I grew up.

  A gentle breeze brushed against his face, and Yang Le felt a chill run down his spine. It was only then that he realized he was wearing just one piece of clothing. Collecting his emotions, he took stock of his surroundings. He found himself standing at the summit of a small mountain peak, about a thousand meters high. To his left in front of him lay an endless expanse of dense forest, where every tree trunk was as wide as twenty people embracing it and towered above, with some reaching heights of over a hundred meters. There were also many trees that stretched down the slope for thousands of feet. In front of him to the right was a lake, its surface glinting in the sunlight, with mist rising from it like a celestial realm. Behind him, the dark mountain range stretching up about a million meters gave off an air of solidity and oppression. The mountain peak beneath his feet seemed like just a small mound compared to it!

  In a world where I knew nothing, I slowly entered this world, not knowing if there was cultivation, magic, or anything against the heavens. There were no powerful techniques or treasures, so how did I survive... Yang Le grumbled as he walked down the mountain. As he walked, Yang Le felt something was off. Why was it that there wasn't a single sound around him? It was as if the entire world had fallen silent, without any signs of life, only the rustling of the wind through the deep forest. The more Yang Le thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he started sprinting wildly. After running for a while, seeing that there was still no movement, he slowed down his pace, walking slowly and cautiously. It took him an hour to walk from the top of the mountain to the bottom. Fortunately, the rocks weren't too sharp, or else Yang Le would have been in big trouble. Despite this, Yang Le's bare feet were still aching in pain.

  Just leaving the foot of the mountain, not far away, suddenly the mountain shook and "hums" sounded, mixed with rocks of various sizes falling from the sky. Yang Le thought to himself: Could it be an earthquake? Turning his head back, he saw that the small mountain peak where he was just at had rocks flying everywhere, getting higher and higher, until they stopped at a height of two thousand zhang. Slowly, the rocks fell off, revealing a strange beast over two thousand zhang tall, with a black scaly body, a lion's head, horns on top, sharp claws, and a steel whip-like tail that swished once, "hums", causing rocks to fly everywhere around it, and a cave suddenly appeared.

  Yang Le finally understood that the mountain peak was actually a giant Qilin beast, about the size of a small hill. Thinking back to how he had just stood on its head made him shiver. Yang Le dodged the rocks above and kept a safe distance from this enormous creature to avoid accidental injury.

  Only to see that the wild and strange beast shook its head, looked in the direction where Yang Le was, seemed to be disdainful, turned its head, and walked towards the distant lake. Yang Le saw the disdain in the eyes of the strange beast, such a humanized gaze frightened him, although he had prepared himself for the possibility of being transported to this world and facing the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his expression, he was still taken aback. When have you ever seen a lion throw a glance at you?!

  While Yang Le was secretly assessing the danger level of this unknown world, another earth-shattering roar came from afar, and when he looked up to take a distant look, he was stunned!

  Only in the distance, by the lake's edge, a giant python over thirty feet thick and four to five thousand feet long was tightly wrapped around the horned lion beast. The horned lion beast's two pairs of sharp claws were scratching at the python's body, each scratch bringing up a piece of bloody flesh and scales. However, the python only tightened its grip.

  The horned lion beast seemed to sense the threat of death, and its entire body began to glow. As the light faded, its whole body was covered in golden scales, with the single horn on its head shining like molten gold, radiating a dazzling golden light. Its body had also grown larger, causing the python's grip to loosen.

  A burst of golden light shot out from the horned lion beast's single horn, reaching the python's skull in an instant. Just as it was about to pierce through the skull, the python frantically tilted its head, but still couldn't completely avoid the attack. The light pierced through the python's left eye and a small part of its skull, shooting straight into the ancient forest, cutting down all the giant trees along the way, until they were nothing but powder, disappearing into the distance that Yang Le could no longer see.

  After the golden mang released that one move, the golden mang on its body suddenly dimmed a lot. The giant python suffered heavy damage from this move and flashed a thread of anger and ferocity. It opened its huge mouth and a snow-white air mass sprayed out. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and within a hundred miles, it instantly became an icy sky and snowy land. The sky was filled with snowflakes, and the giant python and the horned lion were surrounded by a glacier, like two ice sculptures, vivid and lifelike.

  Yang Le was in trouble, at first he was watching the rare real version of the giant beast fighting with relish, until the horned lion shot out and got the golden mang, stunning him. The other world was really dangerous, Yang Le felt hopeless about his own dull future when the sky started to snow heavily. To make matters worse, Yang Le had only worn a pair of shorts when he crossed over, how could he withstand it? His lips were frozen purple, and his hair was covered with frost. Only then did Yang Le feel the danger, shivering and running towards the hundred million zhang mountain range behind him.

  As Yang Le drew further away from the battlefield, the temperature also gradually rose, and his footsteps grew faster and faster.

  Crawling on a high mountain range that is hundreds of times higher than Mount Everest, my eyes constantly scan the surrounding terrain, hoping to find a suitable hiding place.

  After climbing for nearly half a time, looking back at the area of struggle, crystal snowflakes were still fluttering, making it impossible to see the situation. After another hour of climbing, Yang Le saw a concave cave on the upper left side, about 14 or 15 zhang wide and about 50 zhang high. Facing the unknown dangers of the alien world, Yang Le had raised his vigilance to the highest level after the shocking scene just now, and naturally became much more cautious.

  Crouching at the entrance of the cave, he listened carefully and then took a sneak peek inside. Although it was very spacious, he could see clearly that it was as big as a football field, but there was nothing inside. Yang Le's heart was filled with joy, and despite his injured hands and feet, he crawled into the cave.

  "Huffing", a sigh of relief slowly subsided, and once his body had recovered somewhat, Yang Le carefully searched the cave again to prevent any oversights. After a thorough search, he was delighted to discover that at the very back of the cave was a deep pool about five or six zhang in diameter, with crystal-clear water, misty and mysterious, surrounded by several red plants with bright red fruit the size of chestnuts hanging from them. From now on, there's no need to worry about water sources anymore. Just thinking about that huge python suddenly emerging from the big lake made him shiver all over, it really wasn't enough to fill its teeth gaps. It seemed that those few plants were also heavenly treasures, eating them would definitely be fatal, maybe even causing his body to explode and die.

  Eyes fixed on the food, Yang Le found a smooth stone to sit down and began to ponder: Firstly, this is an unbelievable world. Seeing those gigantic beasts as big as small mountains, the earth-shattering battles, ancient trees hundreds of thousands of feet tall, and mountain peaks reaching millions of feet high everywhere, how familiar it all seems, just like in our Chinese mythology...

  Primordial Chaos!

  The word "Honghuang" represents a mythical world, yet it also symbolizes brutal slaughter and desolation. The land is filled with ferocious beasts, the skies are filled with strange creatures, and the era of gods and demons competing for dominance has arrived.

  Without strength, even the aftermath of a battle can turn you to dust. At that time, hiding at home was no use, disaster came from heaven, and there was nowhere to cry.

  Just thinking about this, Yang Le felt that his prospects were bleak. He didn't have any of the Pre-Heavenly Treasures or Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, nor did he have any of the Nine Revolutions Mystical Technique, the Enter Dream and Certify the Way Great Method, or the Eight-Nine Mystical Technique. As for Laozi's Dao De Jing, he had only read the first few sentences that countless people would recite. Apart from a pair of underwear, Yang Le was truly naked. Could it be that you still expected the underwear to transform into Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasures? Even if it did, it wouldn't be good enough to use. Thinking about the scene of relying on his underwear to conquer the Desolate Expanse in the future was unimaginable!

  It's not clear whether this is a foreign land or a desolate wilderness, but there's no need to think about that for now. The most important thing is to solve the problems of food and shelter, as well as safety. Yang Le walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down. Although the cave was located at the foot of the mountain, it was still 2,500 feet above the ground, so there's no need to worry about being accidentally trampled by a giant beast. The vast ancient forest is full of dangers, a paradise for all kinds of desolate beasts. As long as the giant beasts don't fight and crash into the cave, everything will be fine. Later, after those two giant beasts have finished fighting and one emerges victorious, I'll go clean up the battlefield. If I can scavenge some meat that's fallen from their teeth, it should be enough to eat for several months. That way, I'll have found a source of food.
