When the world was first created, the Primordial World was in chaos.
Fierce beasts were born amidst calamity—brutal and violent, they ravaged the earth.
Afterward, all races were born.
The creatures of these races began an endless war with the fierce beasts.
At this time—
There was a mountain at the center of the Primordial World, called Buzhou Mountain.
It was the spine of Pangu after his death.
At the very peak of Buzhou Mountain, an ancient and vast giant tree stood tall, stretching from the earth into the heavens.
This giant tree was so immense that its top could not be seen, its branches and leaves piercing into the endless void. It was surrounded by an innate formation.
"Where is this?"
"What happened to me?"
Gu Penjing, who had just regained consciousness, looked around at the unfamiliar environment with a dazed mind.
Suddenly, a flood of chaotic and complicated memories surged into his head.
After a long while—
He finally regained clarity.
"I actually... turned into a tree?"
Gu Penjing was stunned.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary office worker.
After years of staying up late, he suffered a sudden stroke — and accidentally transmigrated here.
"I don't know whether to call it fortune or misfortune… I've come to the Primordial World and became an innate Life Tree of the Daluo level!"
Gu Penjing exclaimed in disbelief.
"Wait!"
"Based on my years of reading cultivation novels, there shouldn't be a tree with such a massive root in the Primordial World, right?"
"I'm not the Fusang Sacred Tree, nor the Tongtian Jianmu, nor the Yangmei Tree. Did I appear too late, or..."
Gu Penjing began to panic.
"Right! I still have inherited memories."
He quickly searched his inherited knowledge.
It turned out that he was an Innate Chaotic God and Demon Root. After Pangu split the heavens and the earth, he fell from the chaos and landed on Buzhou Mountain.
"No, I have to leave Buzhou Mountain immediately."
He had to escape.
Buzhou Mountain would eventually collapse, and he didn't want to be destroyed along with it.
Moreover, Buzhou Mountain was too conspicuous. With his immense roots, Gu Penjing was sure to attract the attention of top powers in the Primordial World.
Just as he was racking his brain about how to transform and flee, a mechanical sound rang in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Host detected. system successfully bound!]
[As the host is a Chaotic Life Tree with extraordinary roots and immense vitality, the system has decided to activate the Ten Thousand Worlds Interaction Module.]
[From now on, the host can add friends across the Ten Thousand Worlds and participate in interactive activities! The more frequent the interactions, the closer the bonds, and the greater the rewards!]
[Connecting to worlds…]
[Connection complete!]
[Scanning for friends…]
[Friend list available. Please select up to 4 friends to add!]
Gu Penjing immediately opened the list.
There were over a dozen names from four worlds:
Tang Dynasty World: Changsun Wugou, Wei Zheng, An Lushan
Tianlong World: Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, Tianshan Tonglao
Douluo World: Xiao Wu, Tang San, Dugu Bo
Condor Heroes World: Huang Rong, Guo Jing, Yang Kang
Only one person could be selected from each world.
He was quite curious about Changsun Wugou, the virtuous Empress of the Tang.
From the Tianlong World, Gu Penjing immediately chose Xiao Feng—a peerless hero.
In the Douluo World, he chose Xiao Wu. No way was he going to pick Blue Silver Tang San.
And from the Condor Heroes World—of course, Huang Rong! The quirky and clever Ronger was sure to liven up his existence.
After sending the friend requests—
Before Gu Penjing could take another step, the familiar system voice sounded again.
[The Will of the Mother earth has detected your extraordinary foundation and recognizes your potential to give back to the origin. It is now paying attention to you, and rewards you with Heaven-Defying Comprehension!]
Huh?
Is this… a second cheat?
Gu Penjing was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted—
Overjoyed.
Although he hadn't yet experienced what this Ten Thousand Worlds Interaction Module could do, he knew this "Heaven-Defying Comprehension" was no small gift.
Because suddenly, the originally obscure and complicated inherited memories in his mind became easy to understand, clear, and insightful.
[You have comprehended your inherited memories. Your foundation is extraordinary, and your vitality immense. You have comprehended the Great Dao of Life!]
[You observed the innate formation, foresaw your possible downfall in the future, and thus created the Xiantian Hunyuan Heavenly Formation!]
Xiantian Hunyuan Heavenly Formation: A heavenly-grade innate formation that can resist attacks and detection even at the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level!
"Heavenly level!"
Gu Penjing was ecstatic.
It was like receiving a pillow when you're exhausted.
He had been worried that one day a quasi-saint might discover him—and then he'd be doomed.
Now with this formation, he had nothing to fear!
There were no saints in the current prehistoric land. Even if Hongjun came personally, he wouldn't find him!
"Hua—la—la!"
The tree that Gu Penjing had become trembled slightly. Countless leaves rustled as divine light enveloped the entire space.
The original innate formation was instantly replaced by the Heavenly-grade Hunyuan Formation.
This new formation included:
Defense Formation
Illusion Formation
Attack Formation
Anyone who intruded would find their senses blinded, cultivation suppressed, and even become lost in illusions—eventually dying of exhaustion within the formation.
Gu Penjing was deeply satisfied.
Though the Primordial World was full of opportunities, it was equally filled with dangers and heaven-defying beings.
Forget the three major innate tribes—there were still beings with inherited powers from the Three Thousand Chaotic Demon Gods.
So yes, it was definitely time to hide!
After completing the formation—
Gu Penjing finally examined his surroundings more carefully.
After a rough estimation, he calculated that his tree body stood 90000 Zhang ( 1 Zhang = 3.58 meters,that is 322km ) tall.
Including the root system—100,000 zhang(358 km).
What moved him most was that several branches at the top seemed to stretch into a mysterious, alternate dimension.
"That should be the Outer World, right?"
He muttered to himself.
In ancient times, with time unknown, the sun and moon cycled endlessly.
[You have comprehended your own Dao and been blessed with a spiritual soul. You have created a Hunyuan Daluo-level cultivation method: Hunyuan Life Sutra!]
[You sense your powerful vitality and realize the meaning behind 'a flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi'. With your supreme power and the Life Tree as foundation, you have created a complete Small World!]
The next second, Gu Penjing sensed a spark of life at the treetop.
Following that mysterious sensation, his consciousness was pulled into a vortex and entered a small World.
"Is this the Small World?"
Looking down at the world below, Gu Penjing's heart filled with wonder.
The moment he entered, he became the Heaven itself within the world—omniscient, omnipotent, and sovereign over life and death.
