Chapter 143: Genesis (Third Watch)
Chapter 143: The Genesis (Third Watch)
A new genesis was about to begin.
Luofeng glanced at the small sun beside him, which was on the verge of collapse. He shook his head and sighed deeply.
After all, it was his very first creation.
A maiden’s sentiment—he couldn’t bear to destroy it.
Using great magical power, he stabilized the small sun and then moved it tens of light-years away.
At the center of the sun’s ruins, he engraved a line in large characters: “Created by Daoist Tianyi—Handcrafted Version—Galaxy-type Small Sun (Commemorative).”
He clapped his hands and left the small sun behind, a strange smile flickering across Luofeng’s face.
What expression would future generations wear if they were to discover this note millions of years from now?
Don’t ask—that’s just a bout of dark humor.
...
With the intervention of Doumu Yuangjun, the flow of time shifted. Luofeng devoted himself wholeheartedly, no longer concerned with changes in the outside world.
One experiment after another, one genesis after another, provided Luofeng with entirely new experiences.
Each genesis was a fresh process—failures and successes in turn—letting Luofeng uncover the mysteries between the void and the world. Sometimes, a slight deviation in position could cause a world to deform.
Yet at other times, altering certain laws could yield a positive effect, creating even better stars.
The first century passed.
Luofeng: (ノへ￣、)
The second century.
Luofeng: (*￣ro￣)
The third century.
Luofeng: (ˉ▽￣～) Hmph~~
...
In time, Luofeng realized that learning brought him joy!
I love learning; my heart belongs only to study.
Lost in the depths of knowledge, unable to extricate myself!
In short, one word: happiness! o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓
Suddenly, one day, Luofeng sat cross-legged in the void. The Eight Trigrams appeared in his eyes, streams of data flowing—a coded language communicating with the cosmos itself.
His hands moved continuously, creating species born from yin and yang’s emergence, filth produced at the end of destruction, and even the primordial yang energy…
Countless materials for creation and genesis were skillfully woven in Luofeng’s hands.
Tick, tick, tick!
The final set of codes was input successfully. Various materials combined, and after a long pause…

At last, a radiant light of creation burst forth through the void.
Illuminating darkness and the hearts of men.
Luofeng clapped his hands and laughed, “Ah, I’ve got it!”
“All right, got it, got it!”
Though no medium existed in the void to carry sound, Luofeng’s surroundings had already transformed into a sacred space, where vital energy replaced air, letting his laughter echo for a long time.
After a hearty laugh and venting years of frustration,
Luofeng took a deep breath, returning to a calm, steady state—the composed young gentleman of old.
Alone in the void, he murmured softly, “Life and death, creation and destruction, through countless cycles of space-time reformation and star births, I have finally grasped a truth.”
“In fact, time does not truly exist; it is merely the transformation of matter.”
“The Venerable Supreme of Supreme Clarity once said: Primary matter begets substance, substance begets emptiness, emptiness begets time, and time begets all things; the reverse is also true.”
“Time, space, and matter are linked in an endless chain, profound beyond measure. Ultimately, they are one and the same, no need for division.”
“The so-called reversal of time is merely the regression of a certain space and matter upstream.”
“But when the present conflicts with the past, and the universe cannot be restarted, this gives rise to what we call timelines and parallel universes...”
After these words, a gentle voice of admiration echoed through the void.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Doumu Yuangjun, watching from 140 light-years away, smiled faintly.
For his young disciple to realize this was to truly earn the right to attain the Great Dao of the Great Luo.
Without understanding this, even surviving the Great Luo tribulation would only lead to becoming a false Great Luo artifact, lost in the river of time, struggling across countless universes.
Earth Immortals master space; Celestial Immortals master time; Golden Immortals master space, time, and matter together—the three converge into the Golden Immortal’s supreme fruit.
The Great Luo is both one and many, the instant and eternity. For the Great Luo, space, time, and matter are inherently unified.
Tracing back through the Tai Chi, Tai Su, Tai Shi, Tai Chu, and Tai Yi periods—the primordial Five Tai—the original vast universe was but a single point.
Having awakened, what to do next? Of course, to attain the Dao.
But this attainment is not the Great Luo’s path. If Luofeng wished to certify the Great Luo Dao, he would first report to the Jade Emperor, then invite Doumu to protect the way, gathering all related Great Luo beings.
To certify the Dao directly here, on the far side of this starry sky, the success rate aside, Luofeng was not so reckless.
What he sought now was unity of knowledge and action, certifying the path of orchestrating creation.
Stepping into the void, a water mirror appeared automatically—Tai Yi’s water.
Among the five elements and five energies, the Tai Yi water energy was Luofeng’s own realization, and the deepest root.
He stood upon the center of the water mirror, pondering briefly, then took three steps forward.
At his fingertips, the concept of space was born, giving him direction.
A calm, lazy voice sounded, as if it should be so.
“I said, let there be light!”

Tai Yi withdrew, and Tai Chu’s fire emerged.
Fire is light!
In the beginning, the earth was empty and chaotic, the abyss dark; the divine spirit moved over the waters.
“I said: ‘Let there be light,’ and so there was light.”
A vast world filled with pure radiance appeared, empty within, containing only pristine light, sacred brightness.
Luofeng’s brow furrowed slightly.
Yin cannot exist alone, nor can yang flourish alone; yin and yang together give rise to all things—that is the Heavenly Way.
A world of pure light was doomed not to last unless Luofeng intended it as a mere energy reservoir.
“I said light and darkness must be separated.”
Darkness surged in from the void outside, adding a different hue to the world of light.
Light fiercely repelled darkness; the newborn world’s will abhorred the intruder.
Yet, since darkness was arranged by the Creator, it was not eradicated but suppressed to the lowest layer of the world.
Luofeng smiled faintly.
Conflict breeds energy; darkness flooding into light is like a drop of water in a pot of oil—it stirs waves, promoting the world’s development.
With the world established, Luofeng stepped to the highest layer of the light world.
The heavens opened; it was time to begin creation.
The arrival of the Creator stirred the will of the light world. Infinite radiance gathered at His side, offering everything.
“Tone it down a bit.”
Seeing the effects around him more gaudy than a cheap special effect, Luofeng shook his head and whispered,
The radiance beside him immediately dimmed, barely revealing a face, shifting from a ball of light into a light-being.
Creation must respect fundamental laws.
Soul, spirit, and physical matter form the basis of life and cannot be altered.
Fortunately, the void contained all wonders. After some time, Luofeng finally drew soul particles from the void.
Like molding a figurine from clay, he shaped them into form.
The effort far surpassed that of creating mere puppets.
