Chapter 241 Primordial Human



As the other experiments proved successful, Xia Tian finally released Ceilia's soul during the sixth chaos cycle. He placed her soul into an abandoned child, intending to observe her choices and actions in this new life.

However, he soon forgot about her existence, moving on to other pursuits in his endless quest for knowledge and power. But fate had other plans in store for them both.

One fateful day, Xia Tian stumbled upon Ceilia once more, now living a new life with lingering traces of depression. She keenly felt the weight of her past disappointments, knowing she had truly let him down.

In this new life, she chose not to cultivate, forever bound to a mortal body, and sought solace in the prospect of motherhood. In the hopes of regaining Xia Tian's favor, she decided to have a daughter through an external fertilization method, akin to a test tube baby.

Through a forbidden process that Xia Tian was no longer allowed to employ, she mixed a part of her soul with that of another man. The baby was born, a beautiful child who caught the eyes of a rogue and powerful cultivator. Tragedy struck when the girl was kidnapped, devastating Ceilia.

Desperate to cultivate again and save her daughter, time was not on her side. As her lifespan neared its end, she faced the grim reality that her chance to reunite with Xia Tian and change her daughter's fate was slipping away.

.....

On the cusp of her deathbed, Ceilia, weak and desperate, mustered the courage to ask Xia Tian the question that had haunted her: "Are you satisfied with my choices this time?" Her hope lay in his approval, knowing that it held the key not only to her own salvation but also to finding her beloved daughter.

Yet, once again, she was met with disappointment in Xia Tian's eyes. His answer was a simple and cold "No." Leaving her there to face her mortality, he collected her soul once more, seemingly indifferent to her pleas for her daughter's safety.

Desperate to save her child, Ceilia begged Xia Tian to find her.

Though he acquiesced with a half-hearted "Yes," it was clear that he had no intention of doing so.

To him, her daughter was a mere stranger, her soul tainted by the mingling of another's essence. The decision to conceive a child with a mixed soul was one of Ceilia's gravest mistakes, tarnishing the purity of her lineage, which Xia Tian had once recognized in her and Nyx and all the others.

As the seventh chaos cycle dawned, Xia Tian once again released her soul, allowing her to reincarnate as the Divine Emperor's sister, Qin Yueling. However, Ceilia had forcefully blocked her memories before her previous death, and Xia Tian made no effort to unseal them, leaving her unaware of her true identity.

Now, memories flooded back into Qin Yueling's consciousness, and her first instinct was to seek out Xia Tian. Sitting behind him now, all doubts were erased – she knew no one else in the world who would threaten her like this.

Yet, the extent of Xia Tian's power left her shaken. She couldn't help but voice her bewilderment, "Did you become some kind of god?" Her tone tinged with uncertainty, trying to grasp the magnitude of his abilities.

Xia Tian's response was a faint smile, his eyes gazing thoughtfully at the sky. "Kind of," he replied cryptically, leaving her to wonder about the enigmatic depths of his newfound power.

Within the depths of Xia Tian's mind, the question of whether he had become a god or was destined to become one still lingered, casting a shadow of uncertainty over his thoughts.

He was acutely aware that many mysteries remained unsolved, and a pressing enigma demanded his attention above all else – the whereabouts of the original god who represented balance and had birthed this very universe.

After creating the cosmos, the original god seemingly vanished, entrusting the mantle of divinity to the primordial human, who now temporarily governed this vast universe.

It was this very primordial human that Xia Tian had encountered and faced, a being inherently biased towards favoring humanity, thereby elevating them above other species throughout the eras.

Though Xia Tian no longer concerned himself with which species reigned supreme, he still cherished the interactions between human girls and other beings, maintaining a delicate balance to ensure that power dynamics among the species remained relatively unchanged.

As for defeating the primordial human, it was a notion far beyond contemplation. The being inherited the powers of a god, making it an insurmountable opponent.

The universe itself seemed intricately designed to identify the next worthy successor, presenting an irresistible prize to the first individual to reach the void — Legacy of True God of Balance.

Countless others before Xia Tian had reached the void, among them the Eternal Seer of destiny, yet none had dared to venture further into its heart of universe to claim their ultimate reward.

All those who had come before had faltered at the last hurdle, and now it seemed that Xia Tian stood at the precipice, ready to face the unknown and confront the secrets that lay within the center of the void.

As Xia Tian stepped into the presence of the primordial human, an unexpected turn of events unfolded before him.

Instead of a fierce battle or a struggle for power, the primordial human surprisingly decided to relinquish everything and disappear.

Xia Tian learned that the being's creation was merely a temporary measure to seek out the true successor and pass on its divine legacy.

Exhausted from eons of observation and existence, the primordial human longed for death, but its mission had to be fulfilled before it could be released from its eternal burden.

However, Xia Tian was not about to let things go as the primordial human had planned.

He knew resistance was futile, and formulating a plan to defeat a being with the power to read his mind was a futile endeavor.

Instead, his strategy to conquer the godly entity was to have no strategy at all.

Just as Xia Tian believed he had absorbed most of the god's inheritance, and the primordial human was ready to embrace death, a moment of vengeance struck him.

He seized control and severed the connection, condemning the primordial human to an eternity of existence, watching over the universe indefinitely – a punishment of eternal damnation.

The hatred for the gods, for the primordial human, burned fiercely within Xia Tian.

Even if the primordial human was not the true creator, it bore the responsibility for his fate, and that was enough to stoke his rage.

The question of the true god, the first generation, gnawed at him constantly.I think you should take a look at

He saw the universe as an elaborate setup, a grand game orchestrated by higher powers.

The promise of attaining the void realm, escaping destiny's watchful eyes, seemed hollow.

For Xia Tian, it felt like he was a mere pawn in a cosmic play, unable to control his own fate despite his achievements.

In the end, he felt like a tragic clown, manipulated and toyed with by forces beyond his comprehension.

As Xia Tian delved deeper into his own mind, a newfound connection with the Buddha allowed him to see the cosmos from an enlarged perspective.

He could even fathom some of the thoughts of the elusive first generation god of balance. But his quest for peace remained unfulfilled until he encountered the wretched soul of the true creator.

Reincarnating one billion years later, he was taken aback by the duration of the power transfer from the primordial human.

During that lengthy timespan, both he and the primordial human remained dormant, leaving the universe unobserved and vulnerable.

Xia Tian couldn't help but speculate on the events that might have transpired during his absence. Perhaps, a powerful being had infiltrated the boundaries of the universe, evading even the watchful eyes of Destiny.

With curiosity piqued, he eagerly awaited the appearance of this potential intruder.

It could be another true god, an entity he had never tortured before, adding a new thrill to his existence.

These mischievous encounters were what kept him entertained, a constant reminder of his unique perspective and abilities.

As he smiled enchantingly, Qin Yueling found herself entranced by his aura.

The true value of things often becomes apparent only when they are lost or out of reach.

Humans are designed to chase after desires, to find satisfaction in the pursuit of one thing and then seek something greater.

It is a continuous cycle, with the unconscious mind driving this pursuit, and it's all part of the grand game that the gods designed for all living beings– a test to find the worthy successor to inherit their divine legacy. 

As the rightful successor to the universe, Xia Tian felt no need to change the way it functioned.

In his eyes, the cosmos was already perfectly balanced, even if that balance seemed unorthodox to others.

However, there were still unanswered questions lingering in his mind – foremost among them being the mystery behind the merging of Shui Ningxue's soul with Xia Shuiyao's.

He remained uncertain about who was behind this peculiar act and why it had been done.

Could it have been the primordial human during its time as god?

If so, what was the motive behind such an action?

Or was there another entity involved in this plot, concealing their intentions and leaving Xia Tian to wonder about their true purpose?

He pondered whether these occurrences should be seen as rewards for him or potentially dangerous time bombs waiting to detonate.

As the current god, Xia Tian felt a sense of need to compensate those who became entangled in matters beyond their capabilities, violating the fundamental rules of balance.

Shui Ningxue's special treatment and opportunity for reincarnation were his way of rectifying her involvement in this complex battle.

Xia Tian found himself aligned with Buddha's wisdom in maintaining balance within his universe.

However, he questioned whether his obsession with balance was a wrong path to follow.

After all, this very mechanism was what had kept the universe functioning smoothly for eons.

In his eyes, if something was not broken, there was no need to fix it.

Dealing with a god was an entirely different challenge compared to facing ordinary foes.

The uncertainty of whether victory was predetermined or allowed by the opponent was a constant dilemma.

Yet, Xia Tian chose not to dwell too much on these philosophical musings.

As long as the gods continued to provide him with entertainment, he was content.

But should anyone, even another god, stand in his way, he would ensure their existence was swiftly erased from the fabric of the existence.
