Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587: Mythology Aids the Primordial

"First came the Heavenly Emperor, then the Dao; before Hongmeng (Primordial) was split, I laughed freely. From now forth, the title of Heavenly Emperor shall be supreme. After Hongmeng, should any sentient being use the name of Heavenly Emperor, they will face my wrath!"

Listening to the words of the Primordial Emperor, Qin Jun, who was meditating deeply, slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

This brat still knows filial piety, not forgetting his ancestors.

Then, Qin Jun fully immersed himself in his enlightenment, bathing in the ocean of Primordial essence. His physical body slowly strengthened, as if the Primordial essence was feeding his indestructible holy physique’s ninth level—the Primordial Golden Body.

During his enlightenment, Qin Jun no longer kept track of time.

The Heavenly Emperor Plane had existed for about 5 trillion years, but amidst the three thousand paths of the Dao, it was not among the earliest.

This suggests that Chaos had likely emerged over 10 trillion years ago, perhaps even longer, and as for the transition from Primordial to Chaos, who knows how long that process took.

Qin Jun had already spent over 10 trillion years in the Primordial Origin World. Were it not for his continuous growth in strength, he would have long forgotten the past. The endless monotony was the greatest torment, yet it also tempered his psyche thoroughly.

Now, he had come to terms with the reality that he was the earliest deity and the strongest being.

Regarding those grudges from later generations, he viewed them lightly. Former enemies, no matter how fearsome, could now be slapped to death with a mere wave of his hand. How could such matters dwell in his heart?

What he could never forget were his wife and children, the Great Qin Heavenly Court, and his ordinary parents from Earth in that past life.

Having experienced so much, those ordinary memories had become increasingly precious to him.

The vast flow of time passes silently and without trace.

Ren Wo Xiao, Yin-Yang Origin Emperor, Heavenly Monarch Grand Basis, Taiyi Chaos, Emperor of Nine Extremes, Emperor of Nine Palaces, Qin Nu—all remained in their slumber, drifting within the boundless Primordial Violet Sea.

The light particles formed by the Primordial Emperor were like stars, adorning the Primordial Violet Sea, dazzling and radiant. Yet, the Primordial Emperor’s soul began to grow transparent, as if it was on the brink of dispersing.

The transformation of Origin Energy into Primordial is an incomprehensibly prolonged process.

The Primordial Emperor was merely the executor; the true creative force lay within the Origin Energy.

"From where does Origin Energy come?"

Qin Jun suddenly opened his eyes, murmuring to himself as his gaze fixated on the Primordial Emperor, his thoughts wandering.

It is said that every thing has a beginning and an end. The universe emerged from Chaos, Chaos from Primordial, and Primordial from Origin. But where does Origin come from?

Even someone as powerful as Qin Jun could not probe further. It was like a forbidden zone of thought—once touched, it became a blank void.

After pondering for a long time, Qin Jun still could not grasp the answer. He decided to stop thinking and focus on understanding the awe-inspiring Power of Creation inherent in Origin Energy.

"If this continues, Hongmeng cannot be split."

At that moment, the system’s notification sound abruptly rang out.

Qin Jun opened his eyes again, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

"The Origin Energy has been consumed excessively by the host. Has the host not noticed that those light particles remain unchanged?"

The system responded, prompting Qin Jun to furrow his brows tightly.

"Must I return the Origin Energy?" Qin Jun thought with frustration.

After working so hard to cultivate such strength, must he now sacrifice himself to complete Primordial?

Could this be the reason why the Heavenly Emperor vanishes?

"You may return it, though there is another method," the system reassured Qin Jun, ensuring hope remained.

"What method?" Qin Jun asked immediately.

"System decomposition—using the system’s power to help split Hongmeng!"

"What?"

Qin Jun doubted his ears and instantly rejected: "I cannot sacrifice you!"

"The host need not worry. If Hongmeng is successfully split, the host can travel back again. The system will follow the original trajectory and once again be bound to you. If Hongmeng is not split, not only will your loved ones vanish, but the system will disappear too. The world will still only have you and the other deities."

The system’s voice remained as calm as ever, devoid of any tension about its eradication.

Qin Jun fell into contemplation. He was not stubborn but rather deliberating on the rationale within the system’s words.

Could this be the cycle of cause and effect?

"Before the system departs, the host can use the remaining three God and Demon summoning opportunities. Consider it as the system’s final gift to the host."

"Ding! Initiating random God and Demon summoning!"

For the first time, the system acted without Qin Jun’s command, proceeding to summon autonomously.

Qin Jun asked in confusion, "How are you able to summon? Weren’t your functions sealed?"

"Although sealed, the system can forcibly summon, albeit at a steep cost. Now, as the system is about to dissolve, the cost is insignificant."

The system’s answer rendered Qin Jun silent, his heart inexplicably touched.

To him, the system had always been a mere mechanism. Now that it was sacrificing itself, Qin Jun felt an unusual discomfort.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Yuwen Chengdu from folklore. Restored with past-life memories!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Victorious Fighting Buddha from mythology. Restored with past-life memories!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Lu Wu from mythology. Restored with past-life memories!"

Three consecutive system notifications sounded, leaving no room for Qin Jun to choose a re-summon.

Yuwen Chengdu, the second mightiest figure from the Sui-Tang legends. At his peak, still only mortal.

Lu Wu, the legendary Mountain God of Kunlun Mountain. Some records even describe him as the foremost deity under the Heavenly Emperor.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas · Western Mountains Classic": "Four hundred li southwest lies the mound of Kunlun, the imperial seat below which Lu Wu presides. The deity is tiger-bodied with nine tails, human-faced, and tiger-clawed. This deity governs the nine divisions of Heaven and attends to the imperial hunting grounds in their appointed times."

But what does Victorious Fighting Buddha signify?

The system recognized Qin Jun’s curiosity and explained, "Back when the host sought to save Sun Wukong, the system created a seven-day Victorious Fighting Buddha. At that time, the Victorious Fighting Buddha already existed within the system, having merged with Sun Wukong to grow stronger and connect past with present. Yet, the consciousness of Victorious Fighting Buddha remains in the system, akin to a duplicate. The system can be understood as originating from a parallel timeline’s Sun Wukong, whose memories cease prior to merging with him."

Qin Jun realized: Does this mean he now has two Sun Wukongs?

If he begins nurturing Victorious Fighting Buddha from now, just how immensely powerful could it become?

"Host, I hope you can recreate the system in the future. Farewell!"

After the system said its final words, Qin Jun felt a searing pain in his soul, as if something was being extracted from him, making him deeply uncomfortable.

He remained silent, for words would be meaningless at this moment.

At the same time, three figures appeared before him—a man clad in armor, evidently Yuwen Chengdu; a monkey demon adorned in golden chainmail; and a colossal Divine Beast with a tiger’s body and nine tails.

He quickly enveloped them in his power to protect them, as the three summoned entities were far too fragile.

The strongest among them was only Lu Wu, who had cultivation at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm. Yuwen Chengdu merely had cultivation at the second layer of the Energy Refining Realm, and all three remained in slumber.

Rumble—!

The Primordial Violet Sea suddenly surged, and a ray of radiant light shot out from Qin Jun’s glabella, transforming into a colorful glow that darted toward the Primordial Emperor.

That was the Mythology System!

"This light is..."

Qin Jun narrowed his eyes, locking his gaze on the glow emanating from the Mythology System.
