Chapter 632: Chapter 33: In the Beginning of Creation, Primordial Monarch Shuimu

Constantly tracing back the River of Time, until arriving at the era where the ripples originated.

At this moment, the heavens and earth have parted, the earth not yet formed, the oceans uncreated.

As far as the eye can see, there is only eternal void and endless solitude.

Yet in this era of utter nothingness, a figure from the future seemed to emerge, half-real, half-illusory.

The figure donned a red Fur Robe, holding a bronze square vessel.

His crimson skin resembled fire, with a Celestial Eye at his brow, perceiving the universe.

Who else could this be but Li Boyang?

Almost simultaneously, a similar shadow reflected in the void.

"I lost, and quite utterly at that."

Despite bearing Li Boyang’s visage, the voice of the Ancient God was exceptionally gentle.

He is the embodiment of water, water that nurtures all, flowing with or against.

Even though the other is the Tao Ancestor, the Ancient God can replicate all of him in this era.

However, both knew this water-like reflection was ultimately meaningless.

Li Boyang had no intention to rewrite origins or descend to this era.

What appeared here now was merely a projection of Li Boyang, only the bronze square vessel in his hand was undeniably real.

"I know why you are here."

"You wish to gain my full dao, yet one thing is still missing."

As he spoke, the Ancient God’s tone paused slightly.

Immediately after, he mimicked Li Boyang’s form, raising one hand to reveal a jade seal adorned with square-patterned dragons.

"If you promise me one condition, I will immediately give you the ’Dragon Transformation Platform’."

Seeing Li Boyang agree so decisively, the Ancient God instead showed a hint of hesitation.

"Aren’t you going to ask what the condition is?"

With a slight laugh, Li Boyang calmly replied in turn.

"Do you think it matters?"

"In fact, even if you don’t say it, I will do no harm to the Dragon Monarch and the others."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient God was immediately rendered speechless, gazing at Li Boyang with an indescribably complex emotion.

If earlier the Ancient God merely felt Li Boyang’s power was unfathomable,

now he admired Li Boyang’s wisdom and magnanimity.

To see through one’s thoughts at a glance is the manifestation of pure wisdom.

To willingly embrace the Dragon Monarch and the leading Dragon Kings showcases Li Boyang’s magnanimity.

"No wonder, irrespective of stance, everyone is willing to revere you as ’Tao Ancestor’."

With a deep sigh, the Ancient God ceased to struggle, casually tossing the ’Dragon Transformation Platform’ to Li Boyang.

Buzz!

Upon catching the ’Dragon Transformation Platform’, the ’Sun and Moon Pot’ in Li Boyang’s hand emitted a soft tremor.

When Li Boyang merged the two, the surface of the ’Sun and Moon Pot’ suddenly displayed a vivid dragon pattern.

A dragon encircled the sun and moon, swimming through the stars.

This added even more grandeur to the already mystical ’Sun and Moon Pot’.

"Hmm, although asking at this moment seems a bit impolite..."

"But may I ask, how should I address you?"

Satisfied as he put away the ’Sun and Moon Pot’, Li Boyang, whose body was fading, suddenly asked.

"Primordial Monarch Shuimu."

"If you require a specific title, you may refer to me as ’Primordial Monarch Shuimu’."

Gazing at Li Boyang’s gradually disappearing figure, Primordial Monarch Shuimu’s voice remained gentle, devoid of the previous dominance that could obliterate a world.

"Primordial Monarch Shuimu, is it? I will remember!"

With a profound look at Primordial Monarch Shuimu, Li Boyang smiled meaningfully.

"I hope next time we meet, I will still recognize you."

......................................................

Moments later, in the silent void.

Primordial Monarch Shuimu maintained Li Boyang’s appearance until the void once again rippled.

"Do you think he’s aware of your existence?"

With a serene smile identical to Li Boyang’s, Primordial Monarch Shuimu suddenly asked.

Then, as if in response to Primordial Monarch Shuimu, a stern face emerged from the ripples.

"If he hadn’t noticed me, he wouldn’t be Li Boyang."

The authoritative voice echoed across the void, revealing the newcomer’s identity without a doubt.

It was the Lord of the Netherworld of this era, possibly the first and only embodiment of free concept.

"He simply doesn’t care."

"From the moment I helped you forge the ’Dragon Transformation Platform’, my existence was already exposed."

In this world, besides Emperor Fengdu, it’s only the Lord of the Netherworld who could command and influence the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Since the ’Dragon Transformation Platform’ was not crafted by Li Boyang, it was obvious who lurked behind the scenes.

In fact, this was one major reason Li Boyang crossed the entire River of Time to this era.

The ’Dragon Transformation Platform’ is part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the cornerstone of the celestial order Li Boyang constructed.

From any standpoint, he absolutely couldn’t allow it to fall into the hands of outsiders.

"Isn’t that a warning from him to you?"

Primordial Monarch Shuimu asked with a trace of curiosity.

"Not quite a warning, more like a mutual understanding between us!"

Faced with Primordial Monarch Shuimu’s question, the Lord of the Netherworld explained with an unusual composure.

"I allowed him to take the ’Dragon Transformation Platform’, and he would no longer pursue my actions that broke the order."

"That is the mutual understanding between him and me."

The Lord of the Netherworld was never anyone’s puppet, not even the Tao Ancestor.

The Tao Ancestor has his own positions and persistence.

The Lord of the Netherworld also has his own thoughts and intentions.

Their mutual understanding wasn’t born initially but through repeated cooperation and conflict.

For instance, in this case, the Tao Ancestor understood the Lord of the Netherworld’s intentions, while the Lord of the Netherworld also knew the Tao Ancestor’s bottom line.

In future long-term cooperation and confrontation, both will intentionally refrain from offending the other’s bottom line to achieve longer-lasting collaboration.

"In this light, your sacrifice seems considerably greater."

"Aren’t you worried he’ll use it against you now that the Dragon Transformation Platform is in his hands?"

Shaking his head lightly, the Lord of the Netherworld replied without the slightest hesitation.

"No, Li Boyang is not that kind of person."

"He didn’t forge the ’Sun and Moon Pot’ to target beings like us."

"He has grander visions, and I’ve roughly guessed what he intends to do."
