Story Role
Awakening on Buzhou Mountain
Unable to find Pangu Hall, Xiang Dong worshipped Pangu with sunflowers and seeds. He pleaded for help changing a future in which conflict would destroy Buzhou Mountain and devastate the world. Pangu’s lingering will awakened, grew furious at the future described, and rearranged the seeds into an arrow guiding Xiang Dong to the hall 8 9.
Inside the hall, Xiang Dong found a hidden store of Pangu Essence Blood, Heart Blood and Jade Marrow. The Heart Blood and marrow fused with his body as he entered the blood pool to purify it; through that body, he received Pangu’s inheritance and the Light and Creation Principle imprints 10 11 14.
The three-clan war
During the conflict among the Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin clans, the Twelve Ancestral Witches lent Xiang Dong their power and summoned a faint phantom of Pangu. The phantom merged with Xiang Dong’s light screen, helping it display the war’s catastrophic outcome to the Primordial World 35.
After the screen went dark, the phantom gathered Heavenly Dao Merit, Heaven-Opening Merit and Pangu’s Pressure into it, creating an Acquired Merit Treasure bound to Xiang Dong. Pangu also reclaimed Yuanshi Tianzun’s status as Heavenly Dao Agent; Xiang Dong later discovered that he held the role 36 37 38 48.
Charge to Xiang Dong
Xiang Dong later encountered information left by Pangu’s remnant soul in Taichu’s Primordial Spirit. Pangu named Taichu the thirteenth Ancestral Witch and entrusted the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Three Pure Ones and the Primordial World to Xiang Dong, asking him to bring the world hope and a future 44.
When Yangmei subsequently asked whether Pangu was still present, Xiang Dong gave no definite answer 45.
Appearance
Pangu’s manifested phantom had an indistinct face. A later figure summoned from the information left in Taichu’s Primordial Spirit towered between heaven and earth, though Xiang Dong could not see it in its entirety 35 44.
