Vast Chaos, boundless expanse

After the novelty wore off, Immortal Zhen Yuan couldn't be bothered to fly anymore.

He transformed into a small figure, sat on Sun Wukong's shoulder, letting Sun Wukong carry him forward.

He comfortably took a nap and then tried plucking the hair beneath him, to no avail.

He pondered for a moment, then pulled out scissors from his sleeve and kept snipping until he broke countless pairs, and Sun Wukong suddenly stopped.

Immortal Zhen Yuan was nearly thrown off by the massive impact.

He quickly put away the scissors.

"Junior Brother, why did you suddenly stop?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan asked.

"We've arrived."

Sun Wukong replied.

Immortal Zhen Yuan looked ahead and indeed saw a continent floating amidst the Chaos.

That continent was overwhelmingly dark, without end in sight, devoid of any light.

"What world is this?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan instantly woke up and looked around: "Why don't I see the Buddha Beads?"

"They might have shattered."

Sun Wukong stated while gazing at the ground: "Let's go in and look."

Immortal Zhen Yuan hesitantly replied: "This place lacks even light; it must be a barren land?"

"We won't know unless we go in."

Sun Wukong turned around, facing the Chaos: "First, clear the stones."

"Stones?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan flew off Sun Wukong's shoulder, enlarged himself, and looked forward.

There was a boulder flying through the Chaos.

"It's just a stone, nothing significant."

Immortal Zhen Yuan remarked.

"That's no ordinary stone."

Sun Wukong said, taking out his Jingu Bang.

The boulder stopped ten miles from them, slowly rotating, revealing two sparks of light; those were its eyes.

"We've found it."

Several claws, permeated with the aura of Chaos, stretched out from the stone, followed by a pair of wings.

Amidst the roaring sounds, the stone transformed into a Bird Demon several miles long.

Its massive body hovered in the Chaos, emitting an astonishing aura.

It stared at both Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhen Yuan.

"Who are you?"

Sun Wukong inquired.

"I am the sentinel under Venerable One, Meng Bird."

The Bird Demon declared: "I shall report your whereabouts, your fate is sealed."

Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhen Yuan exchanged glances.

"We just need to prevent it from returning."

Immortal Zhen Yuan spiritedly took the stage: "Junior Brother, watch how I teach it a lesson!"

"Overestimating your abilities!"

The giant bird spread its wings, and countless fireballs appeared.

Unphased, Immortal Zhen Yuan raised his hand and emitted a beam of Immortal Light towards the giant bird.

In the sky, a dazzling light suddenly appeared.

In the Dark Continent, three towering mountains reached into the clouds, with a giant iron pot suspended between them. The pot was full of boiling water carrying countless mountain delicacies and fruits.

The sky's light reflected on the lake's surface.

A Giant holding the Sky-Supporting Pillar stirred the water in the lake, saying, "Brother, our soup is glowing."

"It's just a reflection of a star."

Kua Fu looked up at the shining light on the dark sky and said: "Don't worry about it."

He pulled out a century-old oak nearby to pick his teeth with a crackling sound.

"No need to cook anymore, this soup isn't tasty at all, wait until I reach the backside of the world, then I'll feast!"

"Brother, don't be picky, eating more gives you strength."

The Giant served Kua Fu a bowl of soup, saying: "For our tribe, you must seize back the sun this time!"

"Leave it to me."

Kua Fu spat out a mouthful of tree debris: "I've cultivated for two hundred years, all to end this cold, long night and save our tribe."

He refused the soup handed by the Giant, burping as he stood up.

"Brother, I must go now."

"Brother, do you have enough water?"

The giant worriedly said, "We drink a lot of water, you mustn't die of thirst midway like father did."

"I've got it."

Kua Fu patted the water bags hanging on him and shook the water bucket behind him, saying, "The water bags are enough, and if not, there's also the bucket which the Dragon King filled for me."

The giant stood up to adjust his grass skirt and tightened the wooden bucket on his back.

"Brother… If it wasn't for my marriage failing to successfully cultivate the Sun Capturing Hand, I really wish I could share the burden."

"No worries!"

Kua Fu swung his large hand confidently and declared, "I travel ten thousand miles a day, and I can step out of the wilderness in a moment to snatch that sun."

He stretched his limbs, feeling fully energized, as if there was nothing he couldn't do.

"Brother, wait for my triumphant return."

Kua Fu bowed and strode out of the high mountains.

The giant watched him leave, filled with hope.

This world originally had two suns, but two hundred years ago, one sun suddenly disappeared, plunging their region into endless darkness and cold.

Now, the last ember was also about to disappear, and the strongest men of Kua Fu's clan inherited the Kua Fu title to pursue the sun.

"Brother is a prodigious talent, he's certain to save our people!"

The giant thought to himself, filled with hope for the future.

He turned around, preparing to return to his clan, when suddenly a bright light appeared in the sky.

The giant looked up to see a meteor piercing through the clouds, flying overhead, and rapidly plummeting towards the ground.

And it was falling in the direction Kua Fu had left.

The giant's face drastically changed.

"Brother, be careful above!"

The giant shouted loudly towards the distance.

Handsome Kua Fu did not turn around but waved his hand at him.

"No worries, leave the sun to me!"

Kua Fu laughed heartily, then was directly hit by the meteor from behind.

With a "bang," a dazzling light exploded.

The giant saw his brave brother, who could not be subdued, bend his knees forward and fall to the ground.

"Brother!"

The giant sprinted over.

"Ahh spitting..."

Immortal Zhen Yuan clumsily stood up, his body feeling as if it was tearing in pain.

"An Immortal falls to the plain, bullied by a bird!"

He thought indignantly, deciding it would be best to avoid fights with others before his mana had recovered.

But where was this place, so dark!

Immortal Zhen Yuan picked up a wooden staff, lit a fire, and after walking a few steps, heard a groan under his feet.

"My, my leg..."

Immortal Zhen Yuan looked down and saw blood flowing from where he had collided.

He was somewhat stunned. How could the ground bleed?

A massive dark shadow appeared behind him.

Immortal Zhen Yuan turned around and saw a high mountain rushing towards him.

"A moving mountain..."

He was a bit dazed.

Yet the being mistaken for a 'mountain', the giant, was not confused.

"You, you actually hit my brother's knee!!"

The giant roared as he picked up a huge stone and smashed it down towards Immortal Zhen Yuan.

However, before he could smash it, another beam of light fell from the sky.

With a "boom," the giant also fell in front of Immortal Zhen Yuan.

Immortal Zhen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and using the firelight, he noticed the corpse of a Bird Demon had landed on the giant's head.

The Bird Demon had fallen from the sky, hitting the back of the giant's head and knocking him out.

"Immortal."

Sun Wukong descended from the sky, Jingu Bang in hand still carrying a murderous intent, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but someone else is not..."

Immortal Zhen Yuan looked at the two giants lying on the ground and touched his head.

"Dear brother, let's run quickly!"

He felt like he had stirred up big trouble.
