[Ding! Host Confronts Heavenly Dao, Reward: 'Law of Strength' Fragment!]

The moment the Heavenly Dao's will made its final compromise, adopting an almost fawning posture.

The moment the ten-thousand-foot Golden Light of Merit was about to touch Yang Chen's head, the supreme phenomenon of Purple Qi Coming from the East for thirty thousand miles was about to completely engulf this valley.

Deep within Yang Chen's Sea of Consciousness, a voice, older, colder, and more transcendent than the Heavenly Dao's will, exploded forth!

The voice carried no emotion, yet it contained supreme rules, like the ultimate judgment of the entire Chaos universe.

[Ding!]

[Detected Host, in mortal form, directly confronting the Six Heavenly Dao Sages and successfully forcing the Heavenly Dao's will to compromise!]

[Host has exceeded the selection mission's requirements and received an epic, heaven-defying reward!]

Yang Chen's face, contorted by extreme pressure, twitched uncontrollably.

His heart, long numbed by endless Karmic Force, at this moment, without any warning, like being struck by chaotic divine lightning, began to pound furiously!

It's here!

This was the true foundation for him to overturn the chessboard and dare to oppose the entire Primordial World!

This was his only, and final, hope!

[Reward One: Fragment of the Great Dao Law 'Law of Strength' x1!]

The instant the system notification ended, Yang Chen didn't even have time to react.

An indescribable, imperceptible by divine sense, even a torrent of profound information surpassing laws and concepts themselves, forcefully surged into his Primordial Spirit with an irresistible force!

Boom--!

Yang Chen's entire consciousness was instantly pulled into an endless Chaos.

He "saw"!

He saw a giant, reaching the heavens and the earth, holding an ancient great axe, his eyes filled with the determination and exhaustion of creating a world.

He "heard"!

He heard the roar that echoed through Chaos, the supreme Dao sound of the great axe cutting through the void, cleaving Yin and Yang!

Strength!

Ultimate strength!

The strength to split the heavens and earth!

The strength to shatter everything and create everything!

That information wasn't knowledge, nor was it a legacy, but a most fundamental "imprint."

It was like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely imprinted onto Yang Chen's true spirit, forcibly inscribing the supreme profound meaning of Great God Pangu into his very life essence!

"Crack! Crack!"

From within Yang Chen's body came the explosive sounds of bones being forcibly reshaped!

Every inch of his flesh and blood, every cell, underwent a world-shattering transformation under the scouring of this 'strength' law fragment.

Even though it was merely an insignificant fragment.

The true meaning contained within it was enough to drive any Saint to madness!

At this moment, the immeasurable Karmic Force surrounding him, capable of corroding Saintly might, under this nascent, domineering, and unparalleled power, actually showed a faint sign of being suppressed!

Before he could fully recover from this profound state of enlightenment.

The system's notification sounded again!

[Reward Two: Novice Gift Pack x1!]

[Opening Gift Pack...]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the opportunity to claim one of the following items, please choose one of three!]

[Option One: Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure 'Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda'!]

[Option Two: Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure 'Hongmeng Measuring Ruler'!]

[Option Three: Chaos Spirit Treasure 'Chaos Bead' (Fragment)!]

Yang Chen's divine sense swept over the three shimmering golden names on the system panel, and his Primordial Spirit, which had just been tempered into incredible resilience by the 'Law of Strength,' almost disintegrated on the spot from sheer happiness!

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!

Formed from the Profound Yellow Qi of the Hongmeng's creation, it was known as a supreme defensive treasure that made one innately invincible when held above one's head!

It was the personal item of the Grand Supreme Elder Lord, the ultimate ceiling of defensive power in the Primordial World!

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler!

Also a Merit Supreme Treasure, primarily for offense, striking out with this ruler made all methods ineffective, karma unable to entangle, specifically designed to strike down all sorts of gods and Buddhas!

The Chaos Bead Fragment!

This was a legendary supreme treasure. Although it was only a fragment, it contained spatial laws on the same level as 'Strength'!

This time, the system wasn't just giving rewards.

These were three supreme treasures, each capable of triggering a new Calamity, placed directly before him!

Yang Chen's heartbeat momentarily ceased.

His mind raced at an unprecedented speed.

Attack?

The Chaos Bead's spatial divine ability?

No!

Neither was right!

For him, currently a "debt king" burdened with the Karma of immeasurable Calamities and simultaneously "targeted" by the Six Sages and the Heavenly Dao, what was most important?

Survival!

Absolute, unquestionable, the ability to survive that no one could harm him!

Only by living could he continue to slack off.

Only by living could he continue to fleece the system.

Only by living could he, this debt king, forever instill fear in his creditors!

Could any offensive power be stronger than a Saint's?

Could any spatial divine ability be so profound as to allow escape from under the Heavenly Dao's watchful eye?

Defense!

Only absolute defense, known as "invincible to all spells," was what he needed most and his only choice!

His mind made a decision in an instant.

"I choose the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!"

The moment this thought echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Ding! Host's choice successful!]

[Postnatal Merit Supreme Treasure 'Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda' is recognizing its master...]

Hum--!

A faint, yet incredibly heavy, profound yellow aura materialized out of thin air above Yang Chen's head without warning.

The instant this aura appeared, the surrounding spatial laws groaned as if under an unbearable burden, threatening to collapse.

The ten-thousand-zhang Golden Light of Merit, pouring down from the highest heavens, actively diverted its course in the face of this profound yellow energy, daring not to touch it in the slightest!

Immediately after, this aura rapidly extended, stretched, and condensed!

A phantom image, nine stories high, entirely profound yellow, and shaped like a pagoda, slowly took form.

Upon the pagoda's body, countless Great Dao Runes flickered and flowed, as if evolving the supreme mysteries of the heavens and earth's initial creation and the genesis of all things.

A heavy, ancient, and eternally immortal aura permeated from the pagoda.

The next moment, the pagoda solidified completely and then trembled lightly.

Swish!

Ten thousand streams of profound yellow energy, like a celestial river overflowing, cascaded down from the pagoda's base, forming an incredibly thick, profound yellow light screen that enveloped Yang Chen's body completely.

The moment the light screen descended, Yang Chen felt an unprecedented, absolute sense of security.

It was as if from this moment on, be it Saintly divine abilities or Heavenly Dao divine lightning, be it the erosion of Calamities or the entanglement of Karma, nothing could harm him in the slightest!

Suspended above his head, eternally undefeated!

It lived up to its name!

At this moment, Yang Chen's appearance had undergone a drastic transformation.

He still stood in the center of the valley, but the aura of utter despair and death that emanated from him had been replaced by a newborn, overbearing, and mighty force.

Above his head, the nine-story pagoda floated silently, its ten thousand streams of profound yellow energy descending, isolating the inside from the outside.

His body was being madly infused and cleansed by the endless Golden Light of Merit, the entire person radiating a dazzling golden glow.

Pagoda above his head, bathed in golden light.

At this moment, how could he still be considered the mortal tormented by Karmic Force?

He was clearly an immortal divine king, one that even Saints would regard with awe!
