"My axe? Fellow Daoist Lin Tian, why did you suddenly ask me that?"
Pangu's face was full of confusion, but he patiently explained to Lin Tian, "This axe is one of my accompanying Spiritual Treasures. Its name is the 'Sky-Opening Axe'! Its power is boundless and can cleave through all obstacles!"
When he heard Pangu speak the name "Sky-Opening," Lin Tian could not help but sigh. "'Sky-Opening'? It truly is a fine name!
It was just a pity that all of Chaos was a vast expanse of gray. One could not see its end at a glance, and murky air filled it, unchanged throughout the ages.
After so long, it truly became unbearably dull!
And the Chaos Demon Gods were bloodthirsty by nature, turning Chaos into a complete mess!"
As he spoke, Lin Tian deliberately shook his head, though his gaze secretly glanced at Pangu.
Upon hearing this, Pangu's relaxed brows immediately furrowed as he fell into deep thought.
At that moment, the Chaos Demon Ape, who had been standing silently to the side, could not help but interject, "That is indeed true!
Since I was born in Chaos, I have faced this monotonous, tedious scenery every day. I have long since grown sick to death of it!
Just as you said, Big Brother, I have long grown tired of staying in this land of Chaos!"
Pangu murmured softly, "Yes... Chaos may be boundless, but it has always lacked anything new.
No matter when or where one looked, there was always only that single color.
And the Chaos Demon Gods either slaughtered and fought each other or schemed against one another. It was truly tiresome!"
"If that is the case, why not open heaven and create a new world?
Let this unchanging Chaos gain a little color and vitality. Let us forge a beautiful world that is eternal and peaceful. What do you all think?"
Lin Tian stared at Pangu and spoke each word distinctly.
"Open heaven and create a new world?"
Pangu's mind became clear, and his heart trembled as though this was what he had been meant to do all along!
Pangu sat there blankly, motionless, as though lost in thought.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Pangu? My big brother is talking to you?"
Seeing Pangu in a daze, the Chaos Demon Ape could not help asking.
Lin Tian waved a hand, stopping the Chaos Demon Ape.
"Do not disturb him. He is comprehending the Dao!"
The Chaos Demon Ape was baffled, his eyes full of confusion. "Comprehending the Dao? He only heard Big Brother say a few words, and he is already comprehending the Dao?"
The Chaos Demon Ape stared at Pangu, his eyes filled with envy.
Why could he not possess comprehension as exceptional as Pangu's?
When Big Brother's words entered his ears, he treated them as nothing more than ordinary remarks.
Yet when those words fell upon Pangu's ears, the situation was entirely different.
Pangu only listened for a moment before instantly grasping their true meaning and embarking upon the path of comprehending the Dao!
The sight truly left him feeling utterly ashamed and embarrassed!
He had been born so much earlier than Pangu, yet Pangu's strength now surpassed his by a huge margin!
Thus, he could only silently walk to one side, squat down, and draw circles on the ground with his hand, as though venting the disappointment and helplessness in his heart.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian fixed his gaze tightly upon Pangu, who was comprehending the Dao, and an extremely complicated expression appeared in his eyes.
There was astonishment, envy, and a trace of indescribable anticipation.
Lin Tian murmured to himself, "What is meant to come will come eventually. Since that is the case, then fine. It seems I must fight for myself as well!"
Time passed swiftly. Several epochs later.
Pangu, whose eyes had remained shut, finally slowly opened them.
He turned to Lin Tian beside him, a wildly delighted smile blooming across his face. "Fellow Daoist Lin Tian, I have found my own Great Dao!
Now, my Dao has been formed!"
Before his words had faded, Pangu suddenly rose to his feet.
A vast and majestic aura surged from him. Even standing nearby, one could feel that Pangu had become stronger!
Facing Lin Tian and the Chaos Demon Ape in the distance, he bent deeply at the waist and performed a respectful grand salute.
This was to express the gratitude in his heart toward them both!
Seeing this, Lin Tian hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to support Pangu. In a steady tone, he said, "Fellow Daoist Pangu, please rise quickly. You must not perform such a grand salute.
Your ability to comprehend such a Great Dao came entirely from your own talent and effort. We merely offered a small hint.
Even without our reminder, given enough time, I believe you would certainly have understood its mysteries on your own. We merely advanced that time a little!"
Pangu slowly shook his head. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, yet he did not speak.
For he already understood that Fellow Daoist Lin Tian had deliberately guided him in this manner.
Back then, Fellow Daoist Lin Tian had actually perceived so early where the Dao he sought lay. Such insight was truly astonishing.
That was precisely why Fellow Daoist Lin Tian had borrowed the name of the Sky-Opening Axe to subtly offer him guidance.
That one simple act alone was enough to make Pangu feel ashamed of his own inferiority!
After all, even the path he had desperately sought could be so easily seen through and aided by another. How could he not admire him from the bottom of his heart?
Pangu could not help staring deeply at the mysterious and unfathomable Fellow Daoist Lin Tian before him, secretly sighing, As expected of Fellow Daoist Lin Tian! Even my own Dao could not escape his discerning eyes.
Although Pangu felt that his own strength might currently be slightly greater than Fellow Daoist Lin Tian's, before someone so unfathomable, he still could not see through his true depths.
In Pangu's eyes, Fellow Daoist Lin Tian seemed shrouded in thick mist, making it difficult to glimpse the many secrets hidden within.
Those unknown secrets only added even more mystery and endless charm to Fellow Daoist Lin Tian.
Fellow Daoist Lin Tian, I am inferior to you!
"Fellow Daoist Lin Tian, I am going back into seclusion to comprehend my Great Dao! When I attain the Great Dao, I will come find you to drink wine and eat meat, hahaha!"
Pangu laughed boldly. His carefree nature was exceedingly straightforward!
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Pangu. I will wait for your good news!"
Although Lin Tian knew the outcome, he could not say it outright, because the Great Dao would not permit it!
He did not yet have the qualifications to challenge the Great Dao!
The Chaos Demon Ape also clasped his fists. Though he was somewhat jealous of Pangu, he admired him as well!
The Chaos Demon Ape only respected the strong!
Pangu bade farewell to Lin Tian and the Chaos Demon Ape, then headed toward the center of Chaos!
He had been born from the center of Chaos, so he already felt a sense of familiarity with it!
"Big Brother, will Pangu succeed?"
The Chaos Demon Ape asked Lin Tian, eagerly anticipating the sight of Pangu attaining the Great Dao!
He even imagined how glorious it would be when he himself attained the Great Dao in the future!
Lin Tian gazed in the direction Pangu had departed, remaining silent.
