Primordial Era: Divine Choice from Chaos

"I am the Chaos Demon Ape, master of the Law of Combat—I shall fight every Demon God to the end!"

As Demon God after Demon God took form, the entire Chaos began to stir, and the boundless Chaos Qi surged and churned.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jun stepped out of the Chaos Bead, hiding in an inconspicuous corner, watching those top-tier Demon Gods shout and bellow without joining in.

In Zhou Jun's view, this was sheer idiocy—were they afraid Great God Pangu wouldn't remember their names?

After those arrogant Demon Gods finished their grand declarations, Zhou Jun had roughly grasped the general situation of the many Demon Gods.

Among the Three Thousand Demon Gods, most were born with the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

What was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal? A Grand Unity Golden Immortal was one who could transcend the River of Destiny, leap beyond the Three Realms, and exist outside the Five Elements!

Grand Unity meant unrestrained freedom; Golden Immortal meant immortality and indestructibility. Looking back at the later ages of the Primordial World, countless beings spent their entire lives without hope of reaching Grand Unity, and those who did were all renowned great powers and lucky souls.

Yet for Chaos Demon Gods, this was merely their starting point at birth!

And that was only for the majority of ordinary Demon Gods! There were also hundreds of high-level Demon Gods, born directly with Quasi-Saint cultivation!

As for the dozens of top-tier Demon Gods like Ancestor of Time, Ancestor of Slaughter, and the Chaos Demon Ape, they had already crossed the threshold of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, with the strongest even reaching Mid-stage Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal—only two levels below Zhou Jun!

"All Three Thousand Demon Gods have emerged, and Chaos is getting lively. It won't be long before Pangu's World Creation!"

"With Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, in the later Primordial World, that would make me a lofty Saint who sees all living beings as ants—but in Chaos, it's nothing at all!"

Thinking of the World Creation Tribulation after Pangu's birth, Zhou Jun felt a sense of urgency.

After all, when Pangu created the world to attain the Dao, it wasn't the Heavenly Dao Saint of the later Primordial World—it was the Great Dao Saint!

To attain the Great Dao, one had to be at least at Chaos Realm Peak, or even Half-step Great Dao!

In the Chaos realm, below Grand Unity Golden Immortal was irrelevant; above it were Quasi-Saint, Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal (Saint), Heavenly Dao Realm, Chaos Realm, and Great Dao Realm!

Facing a Pangu who could attain the Dao, to have any hope of self-preservation in the Great Tribulation of World Creation, one needed at least Chaos Realm cultivation!

And here he was, only at Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak, with a threshold to the Heavenly Dao Realm still ahead—a long and arduous road!

"I need to hurry and boost my strength," Zhou Jun muttered to himself.

"Ding! Detected host preparing to enhance strength. Please choose:"

"1. Continue secluded cultivation. Reward: one Purity Talisman, allowing rapid mental calm."

"2. Travel through Chaos. Reward: title Heavenly Fortune (duration: one thousand years). Host's luck value multiplied by one hundred!"

Looking at the two options from the system, Zhou Jun made his choice instantly.

He had just come out of seclusion—why would he go back in? Balance between tension and relaxation was key to efficiency, and the Purity Talisman reward was utterly useless to him anyway.

"Well, I was planning to explore Chaos anyway. Since I've crossed over into it, wouldn't it be a waste not to see the sights?"

"With a hundred times the luck, I'll probably stumble into opportunities wherever I go. No need to worry about raising my strength!"

"System, I choose to travel through Chaos!"

The moment Zhou Jun made his decision, the system's luck aura was credited. As he journeyed, his overflowing fortune was downright outrageous!

All kinds of Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Roots came swarming toward him like they were rushing to a market.

If any other Demon God saw this, they'd be green with envy!

Though Chaos was richer in resources than the Primordial World, with more Innate Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots, that was only relative!

The entire Primordial World had a few thousand Innate Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots combined; Chaos might have tens of thousands. That sounded like a lot, but it was the total reserve of the whole world!

With only tens of thousands of Innate Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots across all of Chaos, Zhou Jun had traveled less than one ten-thousandth of it—yet he'd already collected several hundred!

And that number was growing visibly by the day!

"Haha, another Innate Spiritual Treasure picked up? A hundred times luck boost—this is way too satisfying!"

After stowing away the treasure, Zhou Jun couldn't help but laugh uproariously.

Of course, besides these treasures, he didn't let anything below the treasure level slip by either.

Whether it was flowers, grass, or stones, he swept everything into the Chaos Bead.

After all, these things were common in Chaos, but in the Primordial Era, they'd be a different story.

Just as a random blade of grass in the later Primordial World would be Immortal Grass in the Age of Dharma's End, a random stone in Chaos would be a Chaos Spirit Stone in the Primordial World!

"Anyway, these things will all be destroyed in the World Creation Tribulation if left here. Might as well pack them up, toss them into the Chaos Bead, and spruce up my little world!"

Zhou Jun thought to himself.

Years Like a Shuttle—a thousand years passed in Chaos in the blink of an eye.

Over this millennium, as the Demon Gods took form and began to roam, Chaos lost its tranquility and grew chaotic.

The Three Thousand Demon Gods were naturally unruly, reckless, and warlike, so almost every day saw battles erupting in Chaos.

Thanks to his Heavenly Fortune aura, Zhou Jun didn't encounter any Demon Gods picking fights. And even if they did, with his strength, he could handle them with ease.

"Ah, the Heavenly Fortune title has expired. Without the hundred times luck boost, finding Spiritual Roots and Treasures is a lot harder now."
