The Three Pure Ones Fall!

This call seemed to carry a resonance born from the deepest recesses of bloodline and primordial spirit, infused with the aura of the Three Treasures of Creation, transmitting clearly into Pangu's vast and boundless will!

For the first time, Pangu's axe-swinging motion came to a distinct halt!

The condensed phantom of the axe-light also stalled!

Slowly, as if turning a pillar that held up heaven and earth, he cast his gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

There, three figures appeared small amidst the chaos, yet they radiated a strangely familiar aura.

That call from the bloodline... the aura emanating from those three supreme treasures... they shared a common origin and a subtle harmony with the Heaven Opening Divine Axe in his hand, and with his own strength!

Within Pangu's enormous eyes, Chaos Gas Flow surged, as if revealing a hint of inquiry and doubt?

The terrifying pressure that could crush a sage, at this moment, actually receded its edge, merely enveloping the Three Pure Ones with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Father God!" Laozi spoke again, his voice steady and clear, carrying a tone of proclamation, "We three are born from your Primordial Spirit's Pure Qi!"

Boom!

These words struck like a Chaos Thunderclap, not only deepening Pangu's gaze but also shaking the minds and spirits of Primeval Lord of Heaven and Sect Master Tongtian behind him, followed by a surge of overwhelming ecstasy!

So that's it! So that's it!

Eldest Brother's calculations are truly flawless!

All of Eldest Brother's schemes were to gain the recognition of Father God Pangu!

As long as Father God acknowledges that we are born from his primordial spirit, we have a chance to approach, and even... a chance to request Father God's permission to cross the time of the Opening of Heaven and Earth and return to the dawn of chaos!

If successful, the foundation of a Chaos Demon God will be within easy reach!

Then, flowing back against the current to the Great Desolation World, gathering all Timelines, Eternal Grand Unity... is right before our eyes!

Throughout the ages, who could achieve this?

Only we, Pangu's Three Pure Ones!

Tongtian was so excited he nearly let out a long howl, his hand gripping the Qingping Sword trembling slightly.

He looked at Laozi's back with unprecedented admiration: Eldest Brother! Truly Eldest Brother!

To think of this method, directly communicating with Father God!

This is nothing short of a stroke of genius!

In the distance, Empress Nuwa, who had been watching with tense focus, was also stunned.

She watched as the Three Pure Ones, under Pangu's gaze, not only avoided being instantly obliterated like the Two Sages of the West, but seemed to have received some tacit approval, slowly drawing closer!

Could it be... could these Three Pure Ones truly create history before her eyes, becoming the first Eternal Grand Unity of the ages?

Her heart churned with mixed emotions—both shock and an indescribable complexity.

Pangu's massive head nodded slightly, as if acknowledging Laozi's words.

A trace of gentleness appeared in his scrutinizing gaze.

He did not speak, merely withdrew the condensed axe-light, as if silently permitting their approach.

Under immense pressure, shielded by the Three Treasures of Creation, the Three Pure Ones finally struggled across the final distance and truly arrived at the origin point where Pangu transformed into the Great Desolation World.

Here, the Chaos Demon Gods had been slain by Pangu.

Here, Pangu's physical body suppressed the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods!

Here, Pangu's Great Dao of Strength suppressed the Three Thousand Great Daos!

Here, precisely, was the origin of Pangu's Opening of Heaven and Earth, his transformation into the Great Desolation World!

Standing here, they seemed able to touch the supreme Dao principles that stabilized the primordial chaos and divided clarity from turbidity!

Primeval Lord of Heaven and Tongtian's hearts nearly leaped from their chests—a colossal opportunity lay right before them!

As long as Father God nodded, they could cross this final step and enter the era before chaos was opened!

Yet, at this fateful, unprecedented moment, Laozi, standing at the forefront, made a move that left Primeval Lord of Heaven, Tongtian, and even Nuwa utterly horrified and incomprehensible!

He deeply bowed in an ancient ritual toward the towering, heaven-and-earth-opening Great God Pangu.

Then he raised his head, his gaze clear and calm, his voice distinct as he requested: "Father God, please swing the axe."

Please swing the axe?!

Please have Father God swing the axe?!

The ecstasy on Primeval Lord of Heaven and Sect Master Tongtian's faces instantly froze, turning into a blank void!

They could hardly believe their ears!

Has Eldest Brother gone mad?

At this moment, just one step away from success, he actively seeks death?

Requesting Father God to use the Heaven Opening Divine Axe... to slay them?

Empress Nuwa also covered her mouth, her eyes filled with extreme shock and confusion.

What does Laozi mean by this?

Destroying one's own fortress?

A flicker of surprise seemed to pass through Pangu's vast, chaotic eyes.

But as if grasping something, his gaze turned profoundly deep, piercing through the calm exterior of Laozi to see the resolve and wisdom beneath.

He hesitated no longer.

The Heaven Opening Divine Axe moved.

This time, it was no casual swing to drive them away, but carried an inexplicable solemnity and recognition.

The first axe—unadorned, yet bearing the will to cleave all things—fell upon the Three Pure Ones!

The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda wailed in grief, its Xuanhuang Qi scattering!

The Taiji Diagram's golden bridge trembled violently, Yin and Yang Qi thrown into chaos!

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation cried out in sorrow, the light of its four swords dimming in an instant!

The Three Pure Ones' Bodies of a Sage shattered like glass, inch by inch!

The second axe followed without pause!

The Chaos Qi of the Pangu Banner was annihilated!

The Taiji Diagram curled back into Laozi's sleeve with a mournful cry!

The Four Swords of Zhu Xian lost their luster, flying back in retreat!

The light of the Three Pure Ones' Primordial Spirits began to dissipate!

The third axe!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a silence of all things returning to Guixu, merging back into Chaos.

The Three Pure Ones' Bodies of a Sage and the light of their Primordial Spirits, under Pangu's solemn three axes, completely transformed into the most primal three streams of clear Qi.

Like wisps of smoke, they spiraled at the origin of the Opening of Heaven and Earth, about to merge into the newborn laws of the Great Desolation Heaven and Earth.

Sagefall—the Three Pure Ones fell together!

Just as the three streams of clear Qi were on the verge of vanishing entirely, Pangu's voice—ancient and grand as the birth of Chaos itself, never before uttered to any living being since the Opening of Heaven and Earth—rang out clearly for the first time across the River of Time, carrying supreme authority and a faint, barely perceptible approval:

"You three are my true lineage."

The voice struck like a great bell, freezing the River of Time for an instant!

The three fading streams of clear Qi trembled violently, as if infused with new life!

The sinking consciousnesses of Primeval Lord of Heaven and Sect Master Tongtian, upon hearing those six words, were struck with sudden enlightenment!

All doubt, resentment, and shock dissolved, leaving only boundless awe and ecstatic realization!

So that was it!

What the Eldest Brother sought was never to cross back through the Opening of Heaven and Earth into Chaos!

What he sought was Father God's ultimate recognition of the Three Pure Ones as "Pangu's True Lineage" at the very "origin" of the Opening of Heaven and Earth and the creation of the Great Desolation!

It was Father God himself, at this moment when the myriad laws were born and the source of all rules took shape, using the will of the Sky-Opening Axe to carve the Three Pure Ones' Primordial Spirit imprints deep into the core origin of the Great Desolation World!

This imprint was purer and more exalted than the foundation of any Chaos Demon God!

This was the true foundation of "One Attainment, Eternal Attainment"!

The "true lineage" acknowledged by Father God himself was their greatest guarantee of being Eternal and Undying, spanning past and future!

Just as the Three Pure Ones' clear Qi imprinted upon the Great Desolation Origin, as Primeval Lord of Heaven and Sect Master Tongtian grasped the true meaning, and as Nuwa's Mind and Spirit surged—

Another change occurred!

A figure, from the lower reaches of the River of Time, charged upstream against the violent chaotic currents at an inconceivable speed, straight toward the origin of the Opening of Heaven and Earth!

The aura emanating from this person was profound and unfathomable, faintly surpassing even the Three Pure Ones' Sage-level strength by a hair!

Laozi's final voice rang out before his extinction: "Houtu, you're too late!"
