3— The Epoch Of The Genesis Of Everything.

Yin Shen stood upon the vast ocean, riding the monstrous giant creature beneath his feet, soaring through wind and waves.

Here, the days seemed shorter, with longer daylight and shorter nights, and life could only exist within the ocean.

According to Yin Shen's deduction, he had traveled approximately 500 million years back in time to a prehistoric Earth known as the Cambrian period. He had only read records about this era in textbooks.

The climate was warm, with a radiant sun during the day and tides guided by the moon. Countless life forms thrived in the flourishing marine environment, evolving and competing for dominance over the planet.

Yin Shen, however, was an anomaly in this world, unable to touch or interact with anything, unable to intervene in the existence of the universe.

Except for the two life forms that sensed his presence.

Only they could perceive Yin Shen's existence, and he could only touch objects related to them.

Perhaps, in the grand scheme of the universe, he didn't truly exist.

Like a ghost lingering in the cracks of time and space.

The trilobite and the worm, upon perceiving Yin Shen, witnessed his transcendent form beyond the boundaries of the universe and time, gaining powers derived from what Yin Shen previously referred to as the essence of the soul.

The two ancient creatures obtained different powers. One gained wisdom from Yin Shen, evolving its hard shell to house a human-like brain.

It learned some human vocabulary, glimpsed scenes from Yin Shen's memories at the moment of its birth, and acquired advanced creative thinking abilities resembling those of humans.

The worm, on the other hand, gained a more peculiar and mysterious power. Its blood merged with Yin Shen's energy, undergoing a transformation under its influence.

It could assimilate other life forms, depriving them of their organs and abilities, and freely altering its own form.

However, unfortunately, the worm continued to act on instinct as it had before.

The one who acquired wisdom, Yin Shen named the "Trilobite Man."

As for the worm, it became known as the "Assimilation Monster."

Beneath his feet, the entity known as the Assimilation Monster swiftly traversed the surface of the ocean, its shell adorned with numerous tentacles that propelled it forward.

Yin Shen stood upon its shell, gazing into the distance.

On the distant sea surface, something different finally appeared.

There was an object rising above the water, casting long shadows in the twilight.

The Assimilation Monster swiftly swam, its densely packed tentacles stirring the seawater.

Yin Shen saw an isolated island, adorned with rare shades of green.

The island was pockmarked with marshes, covered in lichens and moss.

But compared to other land masses, it was teeming with the breath of life.

"This place is intriguing."

Yin Shen decided to stay here, ending his aimless and arduous journey.

The next day, Yin Shen observed as the Assimilation Monster used its flexible tentacles to excavate massive rocks from the seabed and drag them onto the island.

Its tentacles transformed into sharp chisels or blunt hammers, methodically splitting the rocks.

Initially, Yin Shen thought the creature had a hobby of dragging stones, paying little attention to it. But as he witnessed the creature meticulously stacking the rocks, he realized it was constructing a building.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the structure resembled a pyramid he had seen on television before, but this one was grander.

Rows of massive stones, dozens of meters high and wide, were stacked, giving an impression that this was not the creation of mortals but a work of god.

But as the towering stones reached their highest point, something different emerged. The fusion monster shifted its focus and began to stack and carve a grand, ancient temple. With utmost care, it meticulously polished, hammered, and sculpted the intricate details.

However, despite its efforts, the temple still appeared rough and rugged, exuding an aura of antiquity. Nevertheless, the outline of the hall had taken shape.

This temple was evidently not constructed for its own sake, as it appeared rather small in comparison to the creature's colossal size.

Yin Shen finally understood that the fusion monster was building a massive palace for him on the deserted island.

Initially, he thought the fusion monster was trying to please him, but he realized that it shouldn't be the case. The chaotic and ignorant fusion monster lacked such wisdom and had no knowledge of the existence of pyramids.

It must have been the Trilobite man who commanded it to do so.

The Trilobite man cowered anxiously before Yin Shen. Yin Shen calmly gazed at the waves, his emotions tranquil.

Even when he still had a human body, he was a rather indifferent person. Now, without a physical form and having encountered various bizarre experiences, he had grown even more serene.

However, the Trilobite man was filled with fear. He didn't know if his presumptuous act pleased or displeased the god.

He nervously explained while repeatedly bowing his head.

In his understanding, this was the most direct way to pray to and seek forgiveness from the god.

"God!"

"Pal...ace...."

Yin Shen could sense his meaning.

He said that gods should reside in palaces and receive offerings from all living beings, so he had the fusion monster build this structure.

Yin Shen felt neither joy nor indifference.

After all, he had no physical body and couldn't sense warmth or cold. A sheltered building meant nothing to him, and the notions of faith and prayers seemed ridiculous because the ones worshiping and believing in him were two insects.

If anything, he could only offer a remark of amusement!

"Not bad!"

"It's very beautiful."

Just these few words made the Trilobite man dance with joy and ecstasy.

The palace had finally taken shape.

The Trilobite man waited for Yin Shen atop the pyramid, while the fusion monster carried Yin Shen towards the pinnacle of the pyramid, then stopped and rested its head in front of the temple.

At the apex of the pyramid, the grand and ancient hall stood with open doors and windows. Inside, there was minimal decoration.

The only highlight was its size, majestic and grand.

Within it stood a statue belonging to Yin Shen. It was handcrafted by the Trilobite man, a gift dedicated to the god.

It seemed that the Trilobite man had inherited the dexterity of human hands and possessed strength far beyond that of a human.

The statue was carved from an unknown white stone, resembling more of a bas-relief than a conventional statue. It was placed in front of a circular window facing the sun.

On it, there was a figure radiating endless brilliance, seemingly draped in a white robe. Only the silhouette could be seen, making the features indistinguishable.

Yin Shen finally realized that this was the appearance they observed in him.

The Trilobite man prostrated on the ground, still addressing Yin Shen as a god.

It was a generic appellation.

Yin Shen revealed his name to him: "Yin Shen."

The Trilobite man: "Divine God!"

Yin Shen corrected him again: "Yin Shen!"

The Trilobite man raised his head, uttered several syllables, but ended up exclaiming,

"Divine God ... Yin!"

"Divine God Yin!"

Yin Shen let him be, allowing him to shout "Divine God Yin" fervently beside the statue and himself.

Meanwhile, beneath the pyramid, the terrifying behemoth emitted hollow sounds.
