NOVPUBChapter 3435 -1702: Kun Peng Dreams of Ten Thousand Autumns, Rising Swiftly to Face Wurao
I am a fish.
I seem to have slept for a long time.
I remember, a very long time ago.
In a place where the sky, earth, ocean, or other entities could not be seen, called the “fog” for reasons unknown, I became conscious.
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
More time passed, I woke up, feeling the ocean’s movement, the spirits’ call, and the vivid leap of life.
There are some little creatures… Too small!
They are like ephemeral beings, like larvae, diminutive like nothingness.
They are so tiny that I need to exert great energy just to see them.
They fight on my body, bleed and battle, eat each other up, some even reside on my body, gnawing and extracting nourishment.
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
A long time passes again, a force of sincere power awakens me, I discover a civilization has appeared on my body.
They settle on the tiny tip of my ventral fin, constructing a Sea Country civilization, worshiping this land that nourishes their growth, giving them “vitality source”.
Worship me?
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
The force of sincere power awakens me once more.
After an unknown time, I find they have grown strong enough to occupy a corner of my ventral fin… half of the patch… above.
Moreover, they have bred many new varieties, including Plant Wood, Sea Spirit, Stone Monster, Armored Beast, Slippery Worm, and more.
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
Dreams passed through several tumultuous periods.
Occasionally I can hear, besides the sounds from the deep sea, noises from other places.
It seems there is a world under the sea, and the place called land by the Two-legged Beasts, forms a world itself.
Their development was faster than the Sea Country, quickly venturing into the sea, entering the ocean, up to the deep sea.
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
Two-legged Beast civilization and Sea Country civilization first encountered each other, resulting in some minor clashes.
Minor clashes led both sides to grow rapidly.
Humans, a civilization calling themselves humans, wanted to conquer the ocean.
Sea Beasts, the civilization calling themselves Sea Beasts, sought to invade the land.
Neither side yielded, fighting fiercely, occasionally waking me, I glance at them, then continue to sleep.
Humans appeared as the first expert capable of sensing my existence.
He came before me, woke me up, but returned without success.
After an indeterminate time, humans came again, this time well-prepared, waking me again.
I swallowed the land civilization, the Sea Country civilization, letting them enter the world inside my stomach to continue their friction.
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
Dreams entered a stable period.
Dreams entered a turbulent period again.
This time, the development of Two-legged Human civilization was extremely rapid, borrowing the legacy left by predecessors, they evolved a “God”.
Under the leadership of the God, the Sea Country civilization was conquered, I was enslaved, forced to hand over a part of my power to him.
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
Time shifted, Earth’s God left, Sea Country civilization evolved a “Dragon”, which is akin to Godhood.
Led by the Dragon, the ocean invaded the land, also had its moment of glory.
In fact, a few Gods emerged sporadically during this time, but they were not greatly interested in me, nor was I curious about them.
Between each other, there wasn’t much interaction, so little was remembered.
I continue to sleep.
In truth, I already felt something was not quite right.
The world’s development is slow, also quick, I can perceive the accumulated power within me dimming gradually.
Not just me, the entire world seems like this.
Like the shrinkage after expansion, like decay after maturity, life, that’s always the way.
This is nothing significant, I continue to sleep.
I can’t wake up!
I find sometimes I can see them, hear them, but unable to move!
I startled awake, after so many eras had passed, I kept sleeping, without even turning my body.
Is it truly because I didn’t want to disrupt, overturn the Sea Country civilization… I ask myself, yet am too lazy to ponder the answer.
I decide to make a move.
Though not a turn, but an action.
I begin to divide my flesh, mind, dispatching Clone accepted by both human civilization and Sea Country civilization, to explore both great civilizations.
Truly intriguing.
I should have come out to see the world sooner.
The outside world is small, but splendid.
This way, keeping the main body still, and occasionally letting Clone delve into exploring both great civilizations, experiencing their life, world, seems good too?
No rush, disappearance ceased.
I continue to sleep.
The world truly is evolving swiftly, those who can perceive the existence of my main body are increasing, mostly Two-legged Beasts.
Someone wielding a Sword came to ask me:
“Not lonely, are you?”
Loneliness, what is it?
A little fellow riding a Flying Stone into the ocean to inquire:
“How to become so enormous?”
How would I know?
A combative fellow couldn’t hold back and punched me:
“Move!”
Not painful at all.
A fleeting spirit possessed by ghost came to find me:
“Have you lived enough?”
Not really enough.
The most interesting is a bewildered Two-legged Beast, he visited me the most times, each time sitting atop my head, asking:
“What is it?”
What is it, what exactly is it?
I feel no curiosity, I continue to sleep.
…
One dream of Kun Peng, eternal ages.
Elder Yu was startled awake when he felt a person standing above him.
He came to the Southern Underworld to find his great-granddaughter, as she is her only blood descendant.
In fact, Yu Zhiwen quickly found her for him, but the sacred mountain cannot be returned to.
