Primordial Era: I, the auspicious beast Pixiu, am the darling of the Great Dao.

Tianlu, having transmigrated to the primordial world, became a mythical beast, the Pixiu, named Tianlu, who controlled fortune and bestowed blessings. But it seemed to be more than that; any malice directed at Tianlu would severely diminish its fortune, bringing a string of misfortunes. Tianlu could also absorb and expel the power of merit. Tianlu roamed freely throughout the primordial world, and no one dared harbor ill will towards it. Nuwa: Tianlu, Tianlu, quickly expel a billion merits for me! Houtu: Expel merits, and all these heavenly treasures are yours! Dijun and Taiyi: Our demon race should prosper! Fellow Daoist Tianlu, could you expel your fortune and return it to us?! Hongjun: One of them? No! Child of the Great Dao?! Favored by the Great Dao?! ...Tianlu: I am merely a mythical beast, the Pixiu, I don't possess such great power, but to be fair, I am a favored child of the Great Dao. If you want merit, fortune, and spiritual treasures, give me the heavenly treasures first! Many innate deities looked at the rogue Pixiu, their faces darkening. You can't hit it, you can't scold it, you can't kill it, you can't seal it away—how could the Great Dao breed such a rogue? Even the Great God Pangu had the mission of creating heaven and earth; is this auspicious beast Pixiu here to enjoy the leisure of the primordial world?!
