"I am Tai Yi…"
Xu Xuan heard this keyword and it startled him on the spot, as he thought he might have offended some incredibly significant figure.
Upon reflection, he realized that this Tai Yi was probably not the Eastern Emperor Taiyi of legend; if it were the mythological Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Xu Xuan feared he would have died upon their very encounter.
The term Tai Yi here did not refer to a deity, but rather to a concept.
Tai Yi is the primal chaos aligned with heaven and earth, the uncreated essence from whence things are born.
Tai Yi is also the primordial qi of the chaotic unseparated heaven and earth.
Tai Yi is the origin of the universe, the creator of all beings.
That is to say, the strange creature before him was actually the origin of the world, and having now gained sentience, coupled with the function of the world's origin, it might truly become the so-called great Dao, controlling everything in the universe.
