Truly Became a Chaos Demon God

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, the Dao Ancestor appeared.

This time, the Dao Ancestor gave the many Great Luo Supremes an entirely new feeling. The Dao Ancestor was almost no different from the Heavenly Dao...

"During the Third Sermon, I will explain to you the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal and the Path of the Sage..."

As the Dao Ancestor spoke, Heavenly Flowers Falling descended, and the syllables seemed to transform into the essence of the Great Dao, filling every corner of Time-Space.

Countless Divine Principles of the Great Dao descended from the Core of Heaven. They seemed wary of the path of the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal, yet also pleased by it, while they were wholly inclusive and receptive toward the Path of the Sage.

At that moment, all the Great Luo Supremes understood that the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao itself favored the Path of the Sage.

There were also vast differences between the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal and the Path of the Sage. The Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal path meant advancing beyond the utmost limit of "existence" on one's own path and moving toward "nothingness."

The Path of the Sage, however, meant seizing more "existence" after "existence," racing wildly down that road.

And this "existence," more powerful even than the Great Luo Dao Realm, was naturally the Primordial Wilderness itself.

These seemed to be two opposing paths...

No. Who said "nothingness" could not possess "existence"... Nuwa thought as she looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Nuwa had now gradually clarified her own path. She was probably one of the so-called Heaven-Ordained Sages. The Overwhelming Merit she had gained from the Creation of Humans was one of the proofs of Sainthood, but she still needed another piece of the puzzle...

Nuwa listened to the sermon with utmost focus. Even the parts she could not understand, she memorized for future contemplation.

Yet at this moment, Nuwa's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

But her Great Luo Divine Mystery had not conveyed any definite sensation.

Nuwa glanced at the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor remained unmoved, continuing the final sermon at an unhurried pace.

Having completed all the preparations, Fang Xun activated the Chat Group Core and selected the "Descent" option.

Buzz...

A silent ripple descended from the Void. The disturbance was extremely slight, no different from when Fang Xun had previously used Divine Strike to borrow power.

But it was different in the end.

Fang Xun's body stiffened slightly. He reached out and gently tapped the Clay Figurine, and a point of Spiritual Light fell upon it.

That was a strand of consciousness separated from Hong Yi. Like the energy, this consciousness had been transmitted through the Chat Group Core into Fang Xun's hands.

The Clay Figurine began to change. Its clay color faded, and the Creation Pure Light contained within was activated, wrapping around it as it gradually grew to the size of an ordinary person.

"Dao Friend, it has been a long time." With a hiss, the Creation Pure Light receded, and a handsome young man in a blue robe stepped out.

It was Hong Yi. His current attire was likely still the outfit he had worn when taking the Imperial Examination.

A new beginning, after all.

"Greetings, Yi Zi." Fang Xun solemnly returned the greeting.

The two exchanged greetings. Though there was a subtle awkwardness like online friends meeting in person for the first time, they quickly put it behind them.

"How do you feel now?" Fang Xun hurriedly asked.

"Very good." Hong Yi lightly clenched his fist.

"So this is the Primordial Wilderness."

A faint light flickered in Hong Yi's eyes as he looked beyond Penglai Immortal Island at the vast, immeasurable world and sighed sincerely.

"There is no need to worry." He looked toward Fang Xun and raised his hand to examine the Dao Mark on its back, which was gradually fading away.

This was the Chat Group's mark.

"The Chat Group is with me now, but I can also periodically connect my consciousness with my main body."

"That is good." Fang Xun was relieved.

"Let us go to the Primordial Wilderness. I would also like to see the newborn Human Race," Hong Yi suggested.

"Alright." They had already discussed this beforehand, so Fang Xun had no reason to hesitate. He took out the Realm Bead and directly brought Hong Yi with him in a Spatial Shift.

The two stepped into the Primordial Wilderness at the same time.

Buzz...

In that instant, an unusual change came over Hong Yi. The Creation Pure Light was stirred and enveloped him.

Yet it had no effect. Hong Yi vanished from before Fang Xun in an instant.

Fang Xun's expression changed slightly. He was about to investigate from the perspective of a Taiyi Golden Immortal when, in the next instant, Hong Yi returned to where he had been.

The instant of disappearance seemed to have been filled in anew, leaving no gap on the Timeline.

But Fang Xun was, after all, now a Taiyi Golden Immortal. He could maintain his own Purity, so the overwrite upon the Timeline had not altered his memories.

"You?"

"It is fine. I have already received the Primordial Wilderness's recognition." Hong Yi seemed to lose focus for an instant, then gently nodded to Fang Xun.

Fang Xun: ???

"What happened?" Fang Xun could not help asking.

"I was just pulled to the Source of Time and took an axe blow from Pangu." Hong Yi's expression was somewhat strange.

Fang Xun fell silent and looked at Hong Yi.

"I really became a Chaos Demon God." Hong Yi suddenly looked at Fang Xun and said with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Only then did Fang Xun recall how he had once explained to Teacher that he had received inheritances from four Chaos Demon Gods.

"If you have never been struck by Pangu's axe, how can you count as a Chaos Demon God?"

"Conversely, if you have been struck by Pangu's axe, then even if you were not a Chaos Demon God, you are one now," Hong Yi explained.

From nothing to something, from the World Opening until now, the only beings struck by the Sky-Opening Axe were the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

This was a form of identity verification. With the Timeline and the Sky-Opening Axe as witnesses, the Primordial Wilderness acknowledged it as well.

In any case, Chaos Demon Gods were not particularly rare in the Primordial Wilderness. Among Hongjun Luohou's generation, who did not have some connection to Chaos Demon Gods?

"This is too..." Fang Xun did not know how to evaluate it. He wanted to complain, but he was afraid of getting chopped.

"Perhaps you have already been chopped too?" Hong Yi saw what Fang Xun wanted to say and suddenly spoke.

"Perhaps this is an unavoidable path for those who transmigrate into the Primordial Wilderness." Hong Yi shook his head with a smile, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked at the newborn Human Race before him.

Yi Jing Lou.

Hong Yi's vision suddenly changed as the memories from his avatar synchronized with his main body.

At that moment, it was as though he had been personally transported into the River of Time, racing backward through endless ages at an inconceivable speed until he arrived at the battle before the World Opening.

Within the empty, silent Chaos, a terrifying shout suddenly rang out.

"Pangu! You seek to prove the Dao, but we also seek to live. Today, we fight!"

Boom!

All the Dao and laws Hong Yi had previously been able to comprehend were dismantled into the most basic Great Dao runes and energy particles.

Yet in but an instant, those runes and particles all abruptly vanished.

This was the ultimate true meaning of "nothingness."

At that moment, an unimaginable existence rose to his feet. The form and essence of his life had already surpassed Hong Yi's comprehension, yet such an existence was still undergoing an ultimate sublimation, with half a foot stepping into an even more inconceivable realm.

At that moment, this supreme existence was Chaos itself, "existence" and "nothingness" itself, the sum of all things, yet he transcended all things and stood above existence itself.

"I am Pangu. I shall send you all on your way." The Giant standing at the Source of Time swept his gaze across the Chaos Demon Gods, declaring his name and resolve to them all.

This was respect.

Then an axe radiance that shattered the foundations of all existence cleaved forth. Gods and demons bled, and Chaos collapsed.

Hong Yi was inconspicuous upon such a Battlefield, yet a ray of light from the Sky-Opening Axe happened to strike him.

"Pangu..." Hong Yi shook his head slightly, stepped forward of his own accord, and was buried beneath the Sky-Opening Axe.
