Chen Jie transmitted to Xiao Feng: "He is the Primordial True King, my father's master, arguably the greatest existence; your Origin Book was created by him. After returning to the material universe, he soon entered the Dao Ancestor realm and, based on his origin, joined the Giant Beast clan."

After returning to the material universe, he quickly entered the Dao Ancestor realm and, based on his origin, joined the Giant Beast Clan."

The Primordial True King...

Translation: Primordial True King...

Xiao Feng's heartbeat quickened considerably.

The super‑powerful being he had heard about many times finally appeared; although visible only as a mist, unable to see its true form, Xiao Feng still felt a bit excited.

"Those primordial beings... many look familiar to me." His gaze swept over the creatures created by the Primordial True King, and he transmitted.

Translation: "Those primordial beings... many look quite familiar." His gaze swept over the beings created by the Primordial True King, and he sent a voice transmission.

Chen Jie slightly nodded and transmitted: "There are twenty‑eight in total, including: Zhu Long, Qilin, Phoenix, Kunpeng, Di Jiang, Xuanwu, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, Golden Crow, Feathered Serpent, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Nine‑Tailed..."

Translation: Chen Jie slightly nodded and sent a voice transmission: "There are twenty-eight in total, including: Zhulong, Qilin, Fenghuang, Kunpeng, Di Jiang, Xuanwu, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, Golden Crow, Feathered Serpent, Taotie, Qiongqi, Nine-Tailed..."

Xiao Feng exclaimed: "Aren't there only the Eight Beast Gods? Why so many?"

Translation: Xiao Feng exclaimed, "Aren't there supposed to be the Eight Beast Gods? Why so many?"

"You'll see for yourself." Chen Jie offered no explanation.

Translation: "You'll see for yourself." Chen Jie did not explain.

The Primordial True King created twenty‑eight primordial types; the Creator God commented: "Your creation perfectly fulfills my fantasy, though a few are too powerful, so I have suppressed some of their physical forms."

Translation: The Primordial True King created twenty-eight kinds of primordial beings; the Creator God commented: "Your creation perfectly satisfies my fantasy; a few of them are too strong, so I suppressed some of their physical forms."

Afterwards, he made some adjustments to Kunpeng and Zhu Long.

Translation: Afterwards, he made some adjustments to the Kunpeng and Zhulong.

Xiao Feng recalled that Kunpeng had obtained one‑tenth of a Dao Ancestor's origin, its flesh resembling half a Chaos Holy Artifact, extremely precious.

Translation: Xiao Feng recalled that the Kunpeng had obtained one-tenth of a certain Dao Ancestor's primal source, its flesh resembling a half-piece chaotic holy artifact, extremely precious.

It seems this matter isn't over yet.

Translation: It seems this matter is not over yet.

Indeed, after the Creator God finished his adjustments, the Primordial True King said: "The virtual universe is marvelous, blessed by the great cosmos's fortune; it should produce many strong ones. I wish to retreat for a period, leaving half of my origin here for latercomers to challenge, obtain, and comprehend."

Translation: Indeed, after the Creator God finished adjustments, the Primordial True King said again: "The virtual universe is marvelous and extraordinary, blessed by the great cosmos's qi luck; I expect many strong ones to emerge.

Speaking, its white mist split in half, forming eight streams that were injected into the bodies of ten primordial beings.

Translation: Speaking, its white mist directly split in half, turning into eight streams that were injected into the bodies of ten primordial beings.

The ten great primordial beings received different proportions.

Xiao Feng clearly saw that Kunpeng received one‑fifth, i. e., 10% of the Primordial True King's origin!

Second most was the Azure Dragon, about 8%.

Third was the Vermilion Bird, also 7%; together these three account for half of the total, i. e., 25% of the Primordial True King's origin.

Translation: Third is the Vermilion Bird, also 7%; these three together make up half, that is, 25% of the Primordial True King's primal source!

Then there are seven more.

Qilin, Di Jiang, White Tiger, and Nine‑Tailed each receive 4%.

Translation: Qilin, Di Jiang, White Tiger, and Nine-Tailed each receive 4%.

Taotie, Qiongqi, and Xuanwu each receive 3%.

Translation: Taotie, Qiongqi, and Xuanwu each receive 3%.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out ten primordial beings received the Primordial True King's origin, so why are they still called the Eight Beast Gods?"

Translation: Seeing this, Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out ten primordial beings received the Primordial True King's primal source, so why is it said there are Eight Beast Gods?"

Before Chen Jie could explain, a mass of purple‑gold mist on the other side said: "Primordial True King, your Azure Dragon and Xuanwu are the physical forms of the two founding ancestors of my Water Civilization; I wish to claim them."

Translation: Without waiting for Chen Jie's explanation, a mass of purple-gold mist on the other side said: "Primordial True King, your Azure Dragon and Xuanwu are the physical forms of the two Primordial Ancestors of my Water Civilization; I wish to claim them."

The Primordial True King did not object, replying: "Supreme Dragon Emperor, do as you wish."

Translation: The Primordial True King did not object, responding: "Extreme Realm Dragon Emperor, do as you wish."

Only then did Xiao Feng realize.

Translation: Only then did Xiao Feng realize.

Thus the Eight Beast Gods are actually: Kunpeng, Qilin, Di Jiang, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Nine‑Tailed.

Translation: Therefore, the Eight Beast Gods are actually: Kunpeng, Qilin, Di Jiang, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Taotie, Qiongqi, Nine-Tailed.

However, Kunpeng and Vermilion Bird are birds; after the Savage Beast clan split, they are counted among the Spirit Bird clan.

Translation: However, Kunpeng and Vermilion Bird are birds; after the Giant Beast Clan split, they are counted among the Spirit Bird Clan.

In the present era, the Savage Beast clan actually has only six beast gods, and the primordial Taotie and primordial White Tiger have already fallen.

Translation: The present-day Giant Beast Clan actually has only six beast gods, and the primordial Taotie and primordial White Tiger have both perished.

At this moment, Xiao Feng thought of a question and blurted: "Dao Ancestor sister, is my comprehension of the Four Gods Four Fiends battle body related to the Primordial True King's origin?"

Translation: At this moment, Xiao Feng thought of a question and couldn't help asking: "Dao Ancestor Sister, is the Four Gods Four Fiends Battle Body I have comprehended related to the Primordial True King's primal source?"

Chen Jie slightly nodded and transmitted: "Not bad at all. Your god‑demon body is actually the Primordial True King's origin power. His origin is too mysterious for you to sense; only after you gather the bloodlines of the ten primordial beings and fuse them into one will it be fully activated."

Translation: Chen Jie slightly nodded and sent a voice transmission: "Not bad. Your God-Demon Body is actually the primal source power of the Primordial True King. His primal source is too mysterious for you to sense; only when you gather the bloodlines of the ten primordial beings and fuse them into one will it be fully activated."

"So I must kill a primordial being to comprehend the battle body!" Xiao Feng realized.

Translation: "So one must kill a primordial being to comprehend the battle body!" Xiao Feng realized.

Therefore he cannot kill the Qiongqi he previously encountered; he must slay a primordial being and seize its origin heart.

Translation: Therefore, he cannot kill the Qiongqi he previously encountered; instead, he must slay a primordial being and seize its primal heart!

The tortoise shell of the Xuanwu battle body was given to him by the Wu Xin Dao Zun; it is said to be the shed skin of the primordial Xuanwu, and since he succeeded in comprehending it, it evidently contains part of the Primordial True King's origin.

Translation: The tortoise shell of the Xuanwu Battle Body was given to him by the Daoist Master Wuxin; it is said to be the shed skin of the primordial Xuanwu, and since he successfully comprehended it, it contains part of the Primordial True King's primal source.

The White Tiger's heart and Taotie's blood are the same; the most vital origin of their flesh resides therein.

Translation: The White Tiger Heart and Taotie Blood are the same; the most important primal source of the flesh resides within them.

So... what he currently possesses should be 10% of the Primordial True King's total origin!

Translation: So... what he currently possesses should be 10% of the Primordial True King's entire primal source!

In fact, it's already as much as Kunpeng's!

Translation: In fact, it's already as much as the Kunpeng has!

"But my flesh is still weak; surely I can't compare to Kunpeng?" Xiao Feng expressed some confusion.

Translation: "But my physical body is still weak; surely I can't compare to the Kunpeng?" Xiao Feng expressed some confusion.

Chen Jie retorted impatiently: "You're only over level 700; compared to others you're nothing. Wait until you reach level 3000, then we'll talk—by then you'll still be able to punch a Kunpeng with one blow."

Translation: Chen Jie replied impatiently: "You're only over level 700; comparing yourself to others is pointless. Wait until you reach level 3000, then we'll talk—by then, a single punch will fell a Kunpeng."

"Uh, that actually makes sense..."

Translation: "Uh, that actually makes sense..."

The Primordial True King's origin is surely extremely strong, but his strength is insufficient; he can't even feel it, let alone use it.

Translation: The Primordial True King's primal source is surely extremely strong, but his strength is insufficient; he can't even feel it, let alone use it.

Of the ten primordial beings, five are ferocious beasts and five are holy beasts.

Qilin, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Xuanwu—these five together account for 26% of the Primordial True King's origin.

Translation: Qilin, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Xuanwu—these five together account for 26% of the Primordial True King's primal source.

Translation: Kunpeng, Di Jiang, Nine-Tailed, Taotie, Qiongqi account for 24%, slightly less.

Divinity exceeds ferocity; in the end of cultivation, one should tend toward a "good" form.

Translation: Divine nature exceeds feral nature; in the end of cultivation, one should tend toward a "good" form.

At this moment Chen Jie added: "My father said the Primordial True King's origin hides a great secret; comprehending it could greatly help later individuals become Dao Ancestors. However, after becoming a Dao Ancestor, one must return the origin to the Primordial True King—it's a loan, not a gift."

Translation: At this moment, Chen Jie added: "My father said the Primordial True King's primal source hides a great secret; comprehending it may greatly help later ones become Dao Ancestors. However, after becoming a Dao Ancestor, one must return the primal source to the Primordial True King—it is borrowed, not given."

Xiao Feng nodded to show understanding: "Such a great opportunity; encountering it makes me grateful, and I will surely return it in the future."

Translation: Xiao Feng nodded to show understanding: "Such a great opportunity; to encounter it is already grateful, and I will certainly return it in the future."

"Hmm, keep watching." Chen Jie nodded.

Translation: "Hmm, keep watching." Chen Jie nodded slightly.

The elders of each clan continue to create primordial beings.

Translation: The Giant Beast Clan, Spirit Bird Clan, and Divine Tree Clan have all appeared; the Marvelous Spirit Clan is the Heavenly God Clan, and it also has primordial beings.

Translation: The Dao Ancestors present, as well as the Insect Civilization, Stone Civilization, Human Civilization, and several others, all appeared in mist form, unable to see their true forms in the long river of time.

Translation: The elders of the Insect Civilization and Stone Civilization are a bit stingy, each having created only one primordial being.

After borrowing the Azure Dragon and Xuanwu, the Water Civilization's Supreme Dragon Emperor created two more primordial beings—a stingray and a jellyfish—said to be modeled after their clan's founding ancestors.

Translation: After borrowing the Azure Dragon and Xuanwu, the Water Civilization's Extreme Realm Dragon Emperor created two more primordial beings: a stingray and a jellyfish, said to be modeled after their clan's Primordial Ancestors.

Humanity is relatively lively; besides the Creator God himself being human, two Dao Ancestors also arrived.

Translation: Humans are quite lively; besides the Creator God himself being human, two Dao Ancestors also arrived.

With Chen Jie explaining, Xiao Feng knew the identities of those two mists.

Translation: With Chen Jie explaining, Xiao Feng knew the identities of those two masses of mist.

The green one is Fuxi; he did not create the first generation, but opened a spacetime rift, bringing in a disciple named Wuxin who had already fallen, whom he had encountered countless ages before in his real world.

Chen Jie told Xiao Feng: "Wu Xin's true strength is not inferior to that of the Triumphant Great Emperor; it's just that Fuxi did not want her to be too conspicuous in the virtual universe, so she was suppressed to level 2500."

Xiao Feng nodded slightly. No wonder Ta Ge said earlier that Wu Xin Dao Venerable is actually terrifying, just not showing it.

Da Yi created three first generations: one a female general, one a warrior, one a hunter.

These three are not overly powerful in strength; compared to the strongest first generations created by several Dao Ancestors, they are considerably inferior, also matching the image of humanity's initially frail physique.

Creator God Chen Li also fashioned a first generation, namely the Chaos Immortal Emperor, who fittingly leads the other three first generations to build the human dynasty of the Primeval World.

The Triumphant Great Emperor is a later-added character; actually, he also possesses the strength of a first generation, merely not appearing in the Primeval era.

By this point, the first generations have been fully created.

Afterwards came the time for crafting first-generation treasures; Chen Jie did not let Xiao Feng continue watching, presumably fearing that seeing too many treasures would give him bad intentions, so he directly took him away.
