A Crying Child Gets Candy

Pangu's Pressure atop Buzhou Mountain was incomparably powerful. At this time, no living beings had yet appeared on Buzhou Mountain.

Lost in thought and walking along in a daze, Taiqing encountered no foolish living beings who dared step forward to block his way.

After all, Pangu's Pressure on Buzhou Mountain prevented nearly all living beings of the Primordial Wilderness from climbing it.

Before he knew it, Taiqing had reached the mountainside of Buzhou Mountain.

The Pangu's Pressure here was something even Grand Unity Golden Immortals could not withstand.

But Taiqing was not among them.

The three World-Opening Supreme Treasures—the Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell—hung above Taiqing's head, shining brilliantly.

It was as if Pangu's Pressure sensed that Taiqing was his own descendant, and it softened somewhat.

As a result, aside from tempering Taiqing's physical body and Primordial Spirit, Pangu's Pressure caused him no harm.

Before he knew it, Taiqing had reached the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

Had Taiqing not possessed the protection of the three World-Opening Supreme Treasures and been transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit—

Even a Hunyuan Golden Immortal would have been unable to reach the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

Sensing the overwhelming Pangu's Pressure and Will of Pangu, Taiqing awoke from his contemplation.

He stared at the summit of Buzhou Mountain in astonishment. The entire mountaintop was vast, empty, and flat.

Even someone at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm could not see the end of this level ground at a glance.

Wait. Since I can't enter Pangu Hall, I can seek help from Father God's will. The summit of Buzhou Mountain is where Father God's will is strongest. I'll burn incense and offer prayers, then see whether I can communicate with Father God's will.

Taiqing suddenly came to his senses. His greatest reliance in the Primordial Wilderness was not himself, nor was it his unyielding will.

Nor was it his foresight, his knowledge of the future course of the Primordial Wilderness and the schemes of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.

Taiqing's greatest reliance was Pangu!

Now, Taiqing was going to rely on his father!

I, Taiqing, have Great God Pangu as a fine father. What do you, Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, have? Not a damn thing.

After fasting and bathing, he set up an altar table.

"I wonder what Father God likes. Forget it. Given Father God's status, he surely won't care about such things.

After all, the entire Primordial Wilderness was transformed from Father God's body.

Some top-grade spiritual flowers, light these lamps as well, Three Lights Divine Water, top-grade spiritual fruits, Enlightenment Tea, and rice from Innate Spiritual Roots."

After hesitating for a long while, Taiqing placed all the good things he had encountered along the way upon the altar as offerings.

The tea had been brewed from the leaves of the top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, Enlightenment Tea. The Three Lights Divine Water and rice had been cooked using rice from Innate Spiritual Roots.

After lighting three sticks of incense and calming his mind, Taiqing performed three kneelings and nine kowtows with utmost sincerity.

"Father God above, your child Taiqing pays his respects."

After working up his emotions, Taiqing organized his words.

"Father God, please hear me. Your child Taiqing has suffered terribly!

Father God's love was boundless. You created the Primordial Wilderness, then left us Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches to live here alone.

Taiqing had originally wished to uphold Father God's will, protect the Primordial Wilderness, and contribute to the Great Desolation World.

But Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao are both plotting against us descendants of Pangu.

Father God, your child has suffered!"

Having prepared his emotions, Taiqing grew more and more impassioned as he spoke. By the end, it seemed as though his true feelings had burst forth, as if he had truly endured tremendous hardship.

Tears the size of beans slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Hehe, a crying child gets candy. I refuse to believe that I'm a child who was only born a few Eons ago. If I cry this miserably, Father God won't feel sorry for me. Maybe if Father God softens his heart, he'll directly bestow ten or eight Innate Supreme Treasures upon me.

Or perhaps an opportunity to attain the Hunyuan Dao. That would be absolutely incredible. Father God, come on. Let me see your love.

In stark contrast to the extreme grief on his face, Taiqing was chuckling wickedly inside.

He was calculating what Pangu Father God might bestow upon him.

Just then, the boundless pressure of Pangu's will atop Buzhou Mountain stirred.

Since the Primordial Wilderness had been opened countless years ago, Pangu's will reacted for the first time.

A wisp of incense smoke drifted from the incense Taiqing had lit into the void.

This was the first wisp of incense Great God Pangu had received since he opened the Primordial Wilderness countless years ago.

The immeasurable multitude of living beings in the Primordial Wilderness did not know to feel gratitude for Great God Pangu's creation of the Primordial Wilderness and all things within it. They knew only slaughter and conflict.

Great God Pangu had not even had a single living being offer him worship.

Now, Taiqing was the first to worship him, and he was even a descendant of Pangu. The remaining will of Great God Pangu awakened.

Though Taiqing worshipped Pangu Father God because he wanted to gain benefits from him—

His worship of Pangu Father God was completely sincere.

He had transmigrated here, and it was Pangu who had given him a legitimate identity in the Primordial Wilderness and a second life.

Moreover, whether in his previous life or this one, Pangu had opened the heavens to create the Primordial Wilderness, transforming his body into all things.

By both sentiment and reason, Taiqing should worship him devoutly.

Hehe, there's hope. There's hope.

Seeing Pangu Father God's remaining will begin to gather, Taiqing muttered inwardly.

Though his face was full of sobs and tears, Taiqing was blooming with joy inside. For some reason, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled upward as he wailed.

"Ahahaha! Father God, your child has suffered terribly.

That Heavenly Dao is selfish and self-serving. For its own selfish desires, it wishes to control everything in the Primordial Wilderness.

It... it wishes to eliminate us descendants of Pangu as quickly as possible.

Hongjun was chosen by the Heavenly Dao to merge with the Dao. He bears a grudge against Father God for splitting him with an axe.

Now, relying on his higher realm, he has actually joined forces with the Heavenly Dao to plot against us Sanqing and Twelve Ancestral Witches brothers.

Father God, you must uphold justice for us brothers.

We fifteen brothers and sisters have been orphans since childhood..."

Taiqing paused and watched the state of Pangu's will.

Hm? Fifteen brothers and sisters? Orphans?

Ah, whatever. As long as I cry miserably enough, it'll be fine. Father God probably won't care about such minor details.

After all, Father God was generous and magnanimous, filled with boundless love. How could he fuss with a child who had only been born a few Eons ago?

Thinking this, Taiqing cried even more miserably, snot and tears streaming down his face. This was also a first since the Primordial Wilderness had been created.

"Wuwuwu, Father God, you don't know this, but the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun have joined forces.

They are actually plotting against the Sanqing's Companion Treasures. They want to seize our Sanqing Companion Treasures!

How could a child who has only just been born possibly be a match for that old bastard?

Your child lost his home the moment he was born. If I had not fled quickly, Hongjun would likely have captured me.

If not for the protection of your Merit of World Creation, my second and third brothers would likely have been refined by Hongjun as well.

Your child has suffered so much!"

Whether it was true or not, Taiqing first pinned the charges on Old Thief Hongjun.

Unbeknownst to him, the charges he had accidentally pinned on Hongjun were actually true.

The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun truly were plotting against the Sanqing's Companion Treasures. Had he not been so eager to seek the Dao and left Kunlun Mountain—

His World-Opening Supreme Treasure would likely have already been seized, and he himself captured by Hongjun.

Before the Sanqing were born, Merit of World Creation would automatically protect them.

After the Sanqing were born, however, the Merit of World Creation had concealed itself deep within their Primordial Spirits.

With Taiqing's current Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, he could not communicate with or invoke that Merit of World Creation.

Without the protection of Merit of World Creation, how could he possibly be a match for late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal Hongjun?

Not to mention that Old Thief Hongjun also had the Heavenly Dao assisting him, as well as the largest fragment of the Jade of Creation.

Taiqing glanced at Pangu Father God's will and saw that the gathering will was trembling, as though it were furious.
