Chapter 3: This Morning I Had a Dream Entering the Vast Expanse!

  The vast and desolate land has mountains as high as tens of thousands of zhang, and waters as deep as tens of thousands of li. The green mountains and clear waters are serene, with the air filled with the aura of primordial spirits everywhere. Spiritual grass can be seen everywhere, and the fragrance of flowers fills the sky. In the sky above, spiritual clouds float about, and occasionally, one can see birds flying across the sky, their wings spanning hundreds of meters.

  Pangu opened the sky, after millions of years of gestation, but it made the current world have a vigorous vitality. All things are safe and sound, everything is the natural creation.

  In the center of the Desolate World, there stood a mountain called Mount Buzhou, also known as the Mountain of Endless Treasures. This mountain had a grand origin, being transformed from the spine of the great god Pangu. It pierced through the sky and supported the heavens and the earth. The spiritual energy within the mountain was dense like rain, and sacred herbs with spiritual roots could be seen everywhere. It truly was a mountain of endless treasures.

  The divine mountain is surrounded by treasures, but at the foot of the Unweek Mountain, there is a mysterious valley. The valley is extremely mysterious, yet it has the protection of the innate great array. Only in the depths of the valley can be seen a black light floating among the countless chaotic spiritual energies. Its powerful momentum represents the extraordinary nature of this object.

  In the vast expanse of the primordial universe, there are countless primal spiritual energies. However, to catch a glimpse of the chaotic spiritual energy is to have a heaven-sent opportunity. For one to nurture a primal spiritual treasure, the first step is to have the chaotic spiritual energy as its foundation. The chaos is the origin of all things; only with this origin can one achieve the primal state. Either become a primal spiritual being or transform into a great god of the heavens and earth. Thus, the arrival of the chaotic spiritual energy in the vast expanse of the primordial universe is an opportunity that has arrived.

  In the darkness, Li Yunxiang woke up from infinite darkness. As he looked around, it was a piece of light. What's even more terrifying is that Li Yunxiang has also turned into a ball of black gas. What's going on? Reincarnation? Rebirth? Or what... Li Yunxiang is now in a state of confusion, only vaguely remembering that he had already died. The culprit was that one black spiritual light. But what state is he in now? Is it life or death? Or the underworld?

  Endless chaos attacked Li Yunxiang's body and mind, but the strong drowsiness made Li Yunxiang dizzy again.

  It was unknown how much time had passed, perhaps a year or perhaps an eternity. Anyway, in the valley, there was no change, and it was always that dazzling light. The only change was that the black light around Li Yunxiang had decreased a lot. Li Yunxiang's consciousness had become even stronger, already covering an area of one square meter.

  Li Yunxiang woke up again, but this time he understood a lot more. To say that the variables in the world are constantly changing, at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Way was not complete, there were always gaps to be exploited. However, the Great Way is formless, and the Heavenly Way is emotionless. In the world, some things are destined not to exist, and the Black Light is one of them.

  The origin of the black light is truly powerful, but it's actually the residual soul of the Heaven-Cleaving Axe. Under the Heavenly Way, the Heaven-Cleaving Axe was destined to be destroyed, yet the axe managed to escape with a wisp of its residual soul breaking through the void. However, as fate would have it, the black light ultimately couldn't escape destruction either. But when Li Yunxiu's soul arrived in this vast and desolate world, it became the final struggle of the Heaven-Cleaving Axe's soul.

  The heavens and earth are full of anomalies, yet they hold all possibilities. Li Yunxiang's existence is an anomaly created by the Heaven-Opening Axe. However, the axe's soul ultimately couldn't defy the heavenly numbers, although it successfully created an anomaly. In the end, it dissipated into nothingness, but indirectly gave rise to Li Yunxiang's existence.

  The axe soul dissipated, while Li Yunxiang's soul absorbed everything from the axe soul. Under this powerful force, he instantly became a pre-heavenly yuan god. He obtained the laws brought by the axe soul, shattered the third god of chaos, and inherited the fragments of the gods of time and space.

  True enlightenment, however, made Li Yunxiang not so fearful after all. After all, it is the unknown that is most feared. What has already happened, even if feared, is useless in the end. So, since things have come to this point, one might as well accept them calmly. Although he missed his loved ones from his previous life very much, he could only silently wish them well in his heart.

  From the moment he woke up, Li Yunxiang already knew his own outcome. Death was a kind of ending. Although Li Yunxiang did not want to admit this fact, he also knew that he was no longer the same person as in his past life.

  Li Yunxiang's composure is actually thanks to the influence of those online novel authors. Crossing over for eternity, YY has gone bankrupt! You say not crossing over can't keep up with the trend, but now no matter what Li Yunxiang has gained a new life.

  Lucky to be reborn, Li Yunxiang suddenly turned pale. (If the primordial spirit had a face) It was at this moment that he finally remembered where he was. Where is this? The Desolate Expanse!

  Li Yunxiang is now truly terrified, the new hope was again extinguished by cold water. The great gods roam the earth, while the immortals are not as good as dogs in this desolate world of Honghuang. If one were to ask which place the protagonist would least like to go to in a rebirth or transmigration, then the world of Honghuang would undoubtedly be the first on that list. And now Li Yunxiang is just an ordinary person who has transmigrated without the halo of being the main character, so there's only one path left - death. Moreover, it's that eternal and inescapable kind of death.

  Looking back at the history of Honghuang, there isn't a single great god who lived from the beginning of the world to later generations. If one had to be mentioned, it would only be Hongjun Old Ancestor. Among the 3,000 guests in the Zixu Palace of Honghuang, the only ones left were those beside Hongjun Daozu and Zhenyuanzi. Zhendlan was still seen by people in later generations, but all the others had either died or been sealed away.

  A miserable word, yet it is extremely suitable for the living beings in the Desolate World. Is one just going to wait for death? Is this really one's fate? Li Yunxiang's primordial spirit was trembling uncontrollably. The intense fear had already stirred up the demon in the depths of Li Yunxiang's heart.

  Suddenly, in the depths of Li Yunxiang's soul, a seven-colored light flashed. The primordial spirit that was about to dissipate stabilized once again under the protection of this power.

  Li Yunxiang suddenly woke up, but the scene just now made Li Yunxiang feel terrified. What was that colorful light just now? It actually appeared in the depths of his own soul?

  Soul introspection was incredibly easy for Li Yunxiang in his current state of primordial spirit. His spiritual awareness swept through, only to discover vast expanses of seven-colored light deep within his own soul.

  "Ah! The power of creation!" The contact with the spiritual awareness left Li Yunxiao shaken. The powerful colorful light was something he had never thought of, yet it was that mysterious power of merit.

  The power of merit, the reward of heaven and earth. It can be said that in the world of Honghuang, if the pre-heavenly industry is the source of disaster, then the power of merit is the root of good fortune. As long as there is enough power of merit, it is also possible for the flesh to become sacred.

  Looking at the heavenly virtues in his own soul, Li Yunxiang finally thanked the Heaven-Opening Axe Soul. Because no matter what, he had left behind the capital to defy heaven. With the protection of these heavenly virtues, Li Yunxiang's confidence surged violently.

  The desolate land is terrifying, but it also represents infinite opportunities. It can be said that this is the beginning of the Tao, and now the cultivation is more than a hundred times faster than in later generations.

  As a person of later generations, although afraid of death, but also has madness, it can be said that as long as there is a thread of possibility, Li Yunxiang will not give up and will live better.
