Primordial: God-Tier Choice from Chaos

As his eyes opened, the vast Mana that had lain dormant for countless ages erupted with earth-shattering force, like a lion awakening!

"Bang!"

With a single punch from Zhou Jun, the floor of the Bronze Ancient Hall—which even full-force attacks had failed to leave a mark on—actually trembled slightly. Then, cracks as thick as arms spread across it in an instant like a spiderweb!

"So this is the power of Great Perfection of Heavenly Dao Realm, Half-step Chaos Realm?"

Zhou Jun looked at the devastation he had caused, clenched his fist, and murmured to himself.

Throughout the long period of refining the gemstone, Zhou Jun had immersed himself in the Great Dao of Time every day. The deeper his refinement became, the more profound his Enlightenment of the Law of Time grew!

If he were not the Time and Space Demon God, with his mastery of the Law of Space failing to keep pace and become increasingly balanced, then if he were only a Time Demon God, he would likely have broken through to the Chaos Realm long ago!

"Although I haven't broken through, with my command of the Way of Time, even if I encounter a Chaos Realm expert, I can still contend with them!"

Zhou Jun smiled faintly, deeply satisfied with the results of this secluded cultivation.

Of course, what pleased him even more were the secret accounts he had obtained from the gemstone's inheritance after refining the Time Gemstone!

"Although the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods were of noble birth, born bearing the Three Thousand Laws, calling them Sons of the Great Dao would not be an exaggeration."

"But as creations of the Great Dao, how could they possibly attain the supreme Dao and transcend the Great Dao?"

Zhou Jun shook his head, his tone carrying both emotion and regret.

What he regretted was that he, too, was one of the Three Thousand Demon Gods. What moved him, however, was that he possessed an opportunity to transcend the Great Dao. That sliver of opportunity to attain the Dao was the Time Gemstone!

The six gemstones—the Time Gemstone, Space Gemstone, Soul Gemstone, Mind Gemstone, Reality Gemstone, and Power Gemstone—were crystallizations of all rules and Daos from the previous era!

As crystallizations of all rules and Daos from the Primordial Era, when chaos had yet to be opened and the Great Dao had yet to emerge, they were born before the Great Dao. Thus, whoever possessed the six great gemstones possessed an opportunity to transcend the Great Dao!

And the only way to transcend the Great Dao was to create a world!

When the world one created replaced chaos, the Great Dao would naturally retreat, granting its creator the opportunity to transcend!

Of course, not just anyone could create such a heaven. Only by using the six great gemstones as foundation pillars could that world possess the potential to grow, nurturing a new Great Dao to replace the Great Dao and allowing its creator to transcend.

At this point, Zhou Jun gradually understood why legends of Audhumla had spread in later generations. Presumably, following the original trajectory, had he not appeared, Audhumla would have obtained the Time Gemstone, then fortuitously acquired the World Tree and created the world of Norse Mythology, thereby transcending.

But in this life, all of Audhumla's opportunities had come to him!

And his opportunities might even surpass Audhumla's!

After all, he possessed three Chaos Supreme Treasures and one High-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Compared with Audhumla, who had only the World Tree, he was far wealthier!

"Still, it's a pity that the other five gemstones were claimed first!"

Looking at the other five empty halls, Zhou Jun sighed, though he did not find it overly regrettable.

Because everyone had limited capacity. Before reaching Chaos Realm Peak, each person could possess only one gemstone. Any more than that, they would be unable to bear such power and would immediately explode to death.

"Of the Demon Gods who obtained the other five gemstones, I don't know much about the other four. But the one who obtained the Power Gemstone should have been Pangu!"

Flying out of the Time Hall, Zhou Jun stood in the air and surveyed the other five halls.

Though the five halls were empty, they still retained traces of the gemstones' former auras, as well as the power of the Demon Gods who had subdued them.

Within the hall that had contained the Power Gemstone, traces of battles with the Law of Strength remained everywhere. Though they had faded somewhat with the passage of time, Zhou Jun could still discern them clearly with his realm.

Other Demon Gods might not know who the Strength Demon God was, but Zhou Jun, a transmigrator, knew perfectly well. There was only one being in all of chaos who commanded the Law of Strength—Pangu, who created heaven and earth!

"Haha, it's rather amusing when you think about it. The Great Dao nurtured Pangu because the Three Thousand Demon Gods were arrogant and unruly, showing no reverence for the Great Dao. So it brewed a great Demon God calamity to cause the Demon Gods to fall."

"To help Pangu grow, the Great Dao practically gave him cheats every step of the way. Of the four Chaos Supreme Treasures that had appeared in chaos, Pangu obtained three. His cultivation even surpassed the others despite starting later, reaching Half-step Great Dao in one breath!"

"But the Great Dao never could have imagined that Pangu's opportunity would be so heaven-defying. He actually obtained the Power Gemstone from the Primordial Era, gaining an opportunity to attain the Dao. In the end, the Great Dao played itself into collapse—Pangu's World Creation brought forth the primordial world, and the Great Dao consequently retreated!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Jun could not help smiling again, anticipation rising within him. "But after Pangu fell and transformed into the primordial world, the Power Gemstone should have fallen into that world as well, shouldn't it?"

At that thought, Zhou Jun smiled and narrowed his eyes. The whereabouts of the other gemstones were unknown for now, but he already knew where the Power Gemstone was. He would have to plan carefully for it in the future!

"There is still a long time before the primordial world appears. Right now, the urgent matter is to consider how to improve my strength and break through to the Chaos Realm as soon as possible!"

"I originally thought Pangu was still being nurtured, but he obtained the Power Gemstone who knows how long ago. He clearly emerged long ago, yet chaos has scarcely heard his name. Looks like he's another one hiding his strength behind a harmless façade!"

Zhou Jun shook his head, turning his gaze back to the Time Gemstone in his hand.

In this life, he had obtained the Time Gemstone and the World Tree, while in his previous life, the one who had obtained these two things was Audhumla!

"And according to the myths of my previous life, Audhumla
