The Primordial Realm

The Primordial Realm is an Eastern fantasy web novel by Shang Xin Ren. It was first serialized on platforms such as 17K.com and later completed on Chuangshi Chinese Network, spanning approximately 346 chapters. The story unfolds in a primordial era where countless races thrive and gods and demons run rampant: ancient ferocious beasts such as the Taotie, Qilin, Taowu, and Peng—their fearsome names spread far and wide—stand shoulder to shoulder with gods and demons. All things possess spirit; in barren mountains and treacherous waters, even grass and trees become weapons. The declining human race can only struggle against heaven, earth, and all living things, surviving in the cracks. The protagonist, Zhong Chi, comes from a remnant clan of the Divine King—fewer than three hundred members remain, with fewer than sixty capable of fighting—who sustain themselves by hunting fierce beasts. Extraordinarily gifted, he could lift a boulder weighing two thousand jin at the age of five, making him the hope of his clan's revival. To prepare the sacrificial rite for his entry into the Flesh and Blood Realm, the clan chief leads a team deep into the wild mountains to hunt rare ferocious beasts. During an adventure that takes him beyond the village, Zhong Chi unexpectedly obtains a supreme treasure from the Immortal Tomb. From then on, he steps out of the ruined ancient city and embarks on a journey spanning millions of miles, and his legend begins to spread across the land. The work threads its plot through core items such as the transfer of the Silver-Grade Special Decree and the awakening of the Demon God's Heart, depicting the human race's arduous rise and defiant struggle in a primordial world surrounded by gods and demons. The final chapter, "Memory Awakening," reveals the ultimate mystery of bloodline inheritance. Tightly paced and belonging to the passionate, satisfying-fiction genre, the novel blends elements of primordium and wound-weaving.
