Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

It has been ten years since the revival of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge in the Primal Chaos Realm.

During these ten years, earth-shaking changes have occurred throughout the Primal Chaos Realm.

The Human Clan began to walk the path of cultivation, the monster tribe resurrected amid the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, and the hidden grotto heavens blessed lands have once again descended upon the mortal realm.

Various phenomena have thrown the original order of the Primal Chaos Realm into complete disarray.

Relying on modern technology and a balance of forces, the Great Xia Dynasty barely maintained its dominion over its territories.

However, with the fifth year of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge's revival, the arteries of the Earth began to awaken.

Under the influence of the Earth's veins, vast wildernesses emerged between cities, and in just a few months, the territory of Great Xia expanded by more than half.

Researchers delving into ancient history were shocked to discover that the current borders of the Primal Chaos Realm matched exactly with those from millennia ago.

The Primal Chaos Realm started to revitalize toward the ancient borders of the 36 Territories of Jiu Province.

Increased territory brought more resources and larger domains, but the existing road and railway systems were utterly disrupted, and the wilderness that spread between cities made leaving them perilous.

City after city was segmented by wilderness, making the transfer of populations and resources extremely difficult.

This also marked the complete collapse of Great Xia's tenuous, technology-dependent rule, as Great Xia began to lose control over the eighteen provinces, retaining only a scant three centered around Jing Province.

Even if various factions were wary of the Supreme Taoist, who had disappeared for several years, Great Xia would find it difficult to hold on to even these three provinces.

As Great Xia fell from its pinnacle, it was replaced by different grotto heavens blessed lands.

These grotto heavens blessed lands had top-tier experts capable of presiding over cities and maintaining the stability of their territories.

But such powerful experts were ultimately too few, and beyond the cities' domains, in the far vaster wilderness, it was the monster tribe that truly reigned supreme.

Wen City, Old District.

Wen City, as a remote place in Yun Province, saw a massive exodus of its population during the initial period of earthly upheavals.

A city with a population of over a million was eventually reduced to less than one hundred thousand people.

And the Old District, being a part of Wen City designated for obsolescence, had an even scarcer population.

A city like this, void of resources and lacking in population, should have been overtaken by the monster tribe amid the shift of the times, completely becoming part of the monster tribe's territory.

However, surprisingly, two forces insisted on preserving this city from invasion by the monster tribe.

The first force was the ruling sect of Yun Province, Mount Laojun, backed by the top-tier grotto heavens force of Rongcheng's Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.

It is said that in the past few years, an elder from Rongcheng's Fine Jade Grotto Heavens personally protected Wen City.

But as the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge continued to shift, the elder from Rongcheng's Fine Jade Heavenly returned to grotto heavens to seek a breakthrough in secluded cultivation, leaving behind only one great Spirit Transmutation cultivator to preside over Wen City.

The other force was the Great Xia Dynasty itself, already struggling to sustain itself.

Sparing no effort, the Great Xia Dynasty, rather than abandoning other territories, chose to station an envoy of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in Wen City, guarding it while seemingly waiting for something.

But as years passed, Wen City remained unchanged.

At night, the sparsely populated Wen City Old District fell into a bizarre bustling activity, as a multitude of monster-infested animals roamed through the darkness.

Gigantic rats half the height of a human, cockroaches as long as an arm, and bats with human faces... Strange forms of life made this place a temporary paradise for the monster tribe.

In that darkness, a flash of inconspicuous white whisked by, yet it did not catch anyone's attention.

If anyone had focused, they would have seen a small Maine Coon kitten, the size of a palm, pitch-black except for its white paws.

The kitten carried in its mouth a spiritual herb glowing with dim starlight and navigated skillfully through the alleys, passing by mutated animals much larger than itself, its agile gait like a spirit in the night.

After circumventing most of the Old District, the kitten finally stopped at a gate covered in cobwebs.

Its bright eyes showed a hint of nostalgia before it turned and headed in another direction, slipping into the ruins of a dilapidated courtyard.

"You're back?"

No sooner had the kitten stepped into the courtyard than a gentle female voice rang out.

Under the concealment of the ruined courtyard, a colossal creature slowly opened its crimson eyes.

The kitten showed no fear at all, stepping forward to the colossal creature, the dim starlight of the spiritual herb in its mouth revealing the form of the creature.

It was a gigantic Maine Coon shaped like a tiger, as tall as a two-story building, with the palm-sized kitten dwarfed not even by the size of its crimson eyes.

Despite its colossal size, the creature maintained an unusually respectful demeanor towards the kitten.

"Princess Bai Xue, they are all searching for you, and you shouldn't have taken the risk of going out," the Maine Coon said.

Bai Xue firmly shook her little head, placed the spiritual herb she had been carrying in front of the Maine Coon, and nudged it forward with her paw.

The Maine Coon fell silent and sighed softly,

"You should know that this Dark Star Herb can only delay the deterioration of my injuries, allowing me to barely survive for three more days.

My existence is a burden to you.

Without me, you wouldn't need to put effort into concealing the Tianji, you wouldn't need to take the risk of exposing yourself to steal spiritual herbs.

If you leave, with their means, they would never be able to find you."

As it spoke, the Maine Coon slowly moved its body, revealing rotting traces on its lower half hidden by the ruins, emitting a horrifying stench.
