Primordial: Divine Choice from Chaos

Furthermore, the Chaos Bead contained a small world within it, where the quality of the chaotic energy was in no way inferior to that of the true Chaos—it was essentially a miniature Chaos.

Why did the other Demon Gods try to stop Pangu during the Tribulation of Sky-Opening? Wasn't it because once Chaos shattered and transformed into the Primordial World, there would be no more chaotic energy, leaving the other Demon Gods unable to cultivate?

But with the Chaos Bead in hand, that problem was no longer a concern!

Besides, when it came to the Time Demon God, later myths didn't even mention him. Chances were, he was either destroyed by another Demon God or killed by Pangu during the Tribulation of Sky-Opening.

But what about the Chaos Demon God of Space, Ancestor Yang Mei?

Not only did he survive the Tribulation of Sky-Opening, but he also left behind a legend in the Primordial World of thrashing Hongjun!

"System, I choose the Law of Space!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for choosing the Law of Space. Reward: Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bead! From today onward, the host is the Chaos Demon God of Space!"

As soon as the system's voice faded, Zhou Jun immediately sensed a connection forming between himself and the Law of Space. Before him appeared a mysterious, pitch-black bead—the Chaos Bead itself!

"Haha! Right now, all the Demon Gods are still gestating, but I've awakened before them and gotten a head start on contacting the Laws. That's my advantage! And with the Chaos Bead, a supreme treasure, as long as I don't provoke Pangu, I can roam the entire Chaos freely!"

"But the Tribulation of Sky-Opening is no small matter. After all, it's a great calamity set specifically for the Chaos Demon Gods by the Great Dao. I can't take it lightly. I still need to focus on cultivation and build up my foundation. Every extra trump card I have will give me more confidence to survive the Tribulation of Sky-Opening!"

Having made up his mind, Zhou Jun wasted no time and immediately began refining the Chaos Bead.

Ordinarily, as a Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bead contained countless layers of seals. Even a Saint would need to put in considerable effort to refine it.

But since this was a system reward, all the seals had been removed, and the Chaos Bead had automatically acknowledged him as its master. Thus, Zhou Jun finished refining it in no time.

"Haha! I never expected the flow of time inside the Chaos Bead to be different from the outside—it's actually ten times faster! And as my cultivation improves, the speed will increase even further!"

"If I cultivate inside the Chaos Bead, then in the same amount of time, my progress will be ten times that of the other Demon Gods! What Demon God could possibly threaten me then?"

"Moreover, because the Chaos Bead contains a small space and touches upon the rules of space, it can even help me accelerate my comprehension of the Law of Space. This choice was absolutely right!"

Zhou Jun's face was brimming with joy, so much so that it was impossible to hide. But he didn't forget the danger of the Tribulation of Sky-Opening. After the excitement passed, he quickly calmed down, entered the Chaos Bead, and began his cultivation of the Law of Space.

"Above and below, the four directions are called 'yu'; past and present, coming and going, are called 'zhou'..."

"Beyond the heavens and earth, there are more heavens and earth..."

"The greatest has nothing outside it; the smallest has nothing inside it..."

And so, Zhou Jun immersed himself in comprehending the Law of Space. As he did, his semi-ethereal body grew increasingly solid, and the purple haze within the cocoon of light thickened.

The deeper his understanding became, the more chaotic energy he devoured. If anyone had been watching from outside, they would have been astonished to see that, centered around the Chaos Bead, the surrounding chaotic energy had formed a vortex, frantically being sucked in like an endless abyss...

Time flowed without measure in Chaos. No one knew how long had passed, until one day—

Crack!

The sound of an eggshell breaking suddenly rang out. Following it, a tall, handsome figure emerged from the cocoon of light.

That imposing, strikingly handsome man was none other than Zhou Jun himself!

"I only reached the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin (Saint) realm. I thought I might break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm!"

Zhou Jun closed his eyes to sense his cultivation level, then opened them to examine his current appearance.

His face still bore the outline of his pre-transmigration self, but it was now more refined and exquisite, perfect beyond that of any mortal.

"Is this my original form's dharma body?"

Perhaps because he was a human transmigrator, the original dharma body of the Time and Space Demon God should have been the Hollow Willow, but now it had taken on a human shape.

"Haha! I never expected my original dharma body to turn out like this. Now I don't have to bother with transformation or anything!"

The human shape was the form most aligned with the Great Dao, known as the Innate Dao Body. According to the original trajectory, among the Three Thousand Demon Gods, only Pangu's original dharma body was an Innate Dao Body. Now, Zhou Jun had become another.

One must know that all Chaos Demon Gods were at their strongest in their original dharma body state. But to better align with the Great Dao, most would transform into the shape of the Innate Dao Body. However, doing so meant they couldn't match the synergy of their original form, and their combat power would suffer.

Of course, in emergencies, those Demon Gods would revert to their original forms to fight.

And Zhou Jun? Now, like Pangu, his original dharma body was the Innate Dao Body!

"The Hollow Willow, which should have been my original form, has instead become my companion treasure!"

He raised his hand and flipped it over. An ancient, mysterious willow tree, radiating spatial fluctuations, suddenly appeared in Zhou Jun's hand.

According to the original trajectory of the Primordial World, this willow was likely the original Chaos Demon God of Space, Ancestor Yang Mei. But now that he himself had become the Chaos Demon God of Space, this Hollow Willow could only serve as his companion treasure.

"To think that something capable of being the original form of a top-tier Demon God—this Hollow Willow is actually a top-tier Chaos Spirit Root!"

After carefully examining the willow, Zhou Jun felt a surge of delight.

One must know that in his past life, the entire Primordial World had only ten top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots. As for Chaos-level Spirit Roots, they were unheard of, let alone a top-tier Chaos Spirit Root!

"Moreover, this Hollow Willow is naturally attuned to the Law of Space. In the future, I can refine it into an External Incarnation. That way, it'll be like having an extra life!" Zhou Jun thought excitedly.

Just then, a series of storms suddenly swept through Chaos, raging and churning. One after another, vast and imposing auras rose and fell.

One by one, towering figures appeared in succession. Some had three heads and six arms, others had dragon heads and serpent bodies, and still others took the forms of various animals—each one different, each unique in shape.

At the same time, arrogant, domineering voices resounded throughout Chaos!

"I am the Ancestor of Time, master of the Law of Time. Chaos shall revere me as its sovereign!"

"I am the Ancestor of Slaughter, master of the Law of Slaughter. Chaos shall bow to me as its emperor!"
