Demon God Reincarnation

Beyond the Primordial World, after an unknown span of time, a figure gazed upon the great world before him.

It was the vertically split Qu She—none other than the future Dao Ancestor, Hongjun.

Though his original body had been cleaved apart by Pangu, his true spirit had barely managed to escape.

"This is the new world Pangu has created. If I devour this world, my future achievements will be boundless." Hongjun smiled, a fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation clutched in his hand.

He then cast himself directly into the Primordial World, preparing to shed his Qu She form and reincarnate to cultivate anew.

Meanwhile, on another side of the Primordial World, Luohu also propelled his shattered Nine Demon Pagoda straight toward the Primordial World.

In places unknown, those Demon Gods who had not fully perished all chose to plunge into the Primordial World.

For there, not only were the flesh and blood essences of the Three Thousand Demon Gods gathered, but also the mountains and rivers formed from Pangu's own body.

Perhaps there was a chance to obtain the opportunities left behind by Pangu—such as the Pangu Axe, the Jade Plate of Creation, and the Chaos Green Lotus.

Even fragments of these would be far more powerful than most Chaos Spiritual Treasures, especially since during the Creation Tribulation, nearly all the Demon Gods' weapons had been shattered.

Aside from these, some Demon Gods had their Primordial Spirits scattered, yet a trace of true spirit remained in their flesh and blood. After the Primordial World received the Creation Merit, those true spirits seemed to show signs of revival.

It might take endless ages for these true spirits to awaken—such as the Chaos Demon Monkey, which later split into four, becoming the Four Great Spirit Monkeys.

Finally, the Hollow Willow, reduced to only half its trunk, also appeared outside the Primordial World—none other than Ancestor Yang Mei.

He had the deepest understanding of Pangu's power. Of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, strictly speaking, only he had survived with his original body intact.

That was thanks to Daoist Shichen and the Lord of Destiny; otherwise, he would have ended up like the rest of Chaos.

"Pangu has truly fallen, but that kid Li Xinghe probably isn't dead." Ancestor Yang Mei's thoughts churned.

He coveted the treasures in Li Xinghe's hands, and now that he was severely wounded, the Willow Branch Li Xinghe carried would be of great help to him.

Back then, to escape Pangu's pursuit, he had been forced to sever a crucial branch. Now, with only half his body left, he urgently needed replenishment.

After much deliberation, he ultimately gave up. His cultivation had been slashed by Pangu, leaving him at merely the Golden Immortal of the Origin.

He was only slightly stronger than Li Xinghe, but the latter possessed a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

Yang Mei himself had no Chaos Supreme Treasure, so when he faced Pangu, he could only back down. Otherwise, even if he couldn't win, his Law of Space would have let him escape.

"That kid is a bit uncanny. I'll wait until my cultivation recovers." Yang Mei turned and vanished into the depths of Chaos.

This time, pursued by Pangu, he had tried to flee beyond the Chaos World and had gained something. Perhaps he would recover soon.

In the Primordial World, Li Xinghe wandered aimlessly across the primordial land.

The world had just been born; there were no living beings yet, only the pervasive turbid qi and the resentment of the fallen Three Thousand Demon Gods.

"It seems those treasures aren't ready to emerge yet. Or rather, the baleful qi in the Demon Gods' flesh and blood hasn't fully dissolved. I'll have to wait until the Fierce Beast Tribulation passes."

In the end, he had been too impatient. The world had only just been created, and even the treasures needed time to form.

Still, this journey wasn't entirely fruitless. He now had a thorough understanding of the Primordial World.

Moreover, through the deduction of the two great Laws of Time and Fate, he had located some fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation.

After the creation, Pangu's several companion treasures each had their own destinations. Following the original trajectory, those treasures all found their masters, with only some fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation going missing.

Even Hongjun had only obtained a portion, which became his enlightenment treasure.

Li Xinghe had long planned ahead. Before Pangu had even opened the heavens, he had left some marks on the Jade Plate of Creation.

Ordinary methods could never leave a mark on a Chaos Supreme Treasure, and even if they did, it would be destroyed in the Creation Tribulation.

But the Chaos Shovel was an exception. This treasure was also a Chaos Supreme Treasure, a fusion of the Laws of Time and Fate. Even if the marks were destroyed, they could still be deduced.

Regardless, he had already intercepted a portion of Hongjun's fortune. At the very least, the Jade Plate of Creation Hongjun would obtain in the future would never be complete.

Before long, Li Xinghe returned to Pangu Temple. Since nothing had emerged yet, he would simply wait.

He also needed time to improve, for the several great treasures in his hands required time to refine.

Beyond that, his body contained the Law fragments comprehended by Daoist Shichen and the Lord of Destiny, which he needed to digest.

Others had to comprehend Laws one by one, but he had ready-made insights to study, so his speed would naturally be much faster.

Once one's cultivation reached the Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, the understanding of Law Power became increasingly important.

At the same realm and with the same mana, whoever comprehended more Law Power would be stronger.

The path of cultivation was myriad, but in the end, all required the cultivation of Laws. The Demon Gods of the Chaos World were proof of this.

Later cultivators in the Primordial World would likely only grasp this after attaining sainthood. For instance, the Disciple of Yuanshi later focused on merit cultivation, while the Disciple of Tongtian emphasized mana cultivation—both were ultimately inferior paths.

Of course, this was only from the perspective of Chaos Demon Gods. After Hongjun attained the Dao, his three sermons essentially established a cultivation system unique to the Primordial World. It wasn't a matter of right or wrong, merely a difference in personal choice.

Time in the Primordial World was unmeasured. With the Chaos Shovel's enhancement, Li Xinghe's cultivation speed was many times faster than usual.

The Primordial Heavenly Dao was still gestating, not yet awakened. The boundless resentment and killing force in the world grew ever denser.

These energies eventually merged with the Demon Gods' flesh and blood, evolving into countless fierce beasts.

These beasts had no intelligence; born only for slaughter and destruction.

The entire Primordial World was thrown into chaos. Gradually, some of these fierce beasts devoured each other, growing stronger and developing intelligence.

In Pangu Temple, Li Xinghe opened his eyes. After tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, he had finally broken through to the Mid Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

"It's time to go out and take a walk!" Li Xinghe sensed the aura of the outside world.

More and more Fierce Beasts were appearing outside, some even approaching Buzhou Mountain. Fortunately, Pangu Temple was protected by the Innate Divine Restriction, so the outside world couldn't detect it at all.

These Fierce Beasts carried on the will of the Chaos Demon Gods, seeking to destroy the Primordial World and return it to chaos. Li Xinghe naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

This was the life's work of his Big Brother, Pangu. Every great tribulation drained the Primordial World.

"If I remember correctly, the God Slaying Spear is about to emerge. If I grab it first, will Luohu cry himself to death?" Li Xinghe let out a cold sneer.

At that moment, in an unknown region of the western Primordial World, the Devil Ancestor Luohu had just succeeded in his transformation and couldn't help sneezing.

"What's going on? Even if my cultivation has dropped to the Golden Immortal Realm, I shouldn't be sneezing!" Luohu cursed irritably.

A dignified Chaos Demon God, now reduced to the Golden Immortal Realm—it was truly hard to accept.

Fortunately, the damaged Nine Demon Pagoda had been mostly repaired by the merit power of the Primordial World's land.

"Now the world is filled with Killing Qi, which is extremely favorable to me. Once I deal with these Fierce Beasts, I'm sure to recover my strength. Then the entire Primordial World will bow to my demonic path." Luohu laughed heartily.

On the other side, Hongjun had also succeeded in reincarnation. To his delight, upon entering the Primordial World, he once again obtained some fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation.

This was an immense stroke of luck—a legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure that allowed one to comprehend the secrets of heaven. Combined with what he had previously obtained, it was now comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

"Li Xinghe, just you wait!" Hongjun had been split vertically during the Creation Tribulation all because of Li Xinghe, and he had never forgotten that debt.
