Ch. 1002Shattered Demon God Corpses
1. Key Plot Points / Events
- Li Yun enters a seven-colored vortex from a mural and arrives in a pure, chaotic space containing three massive corpses.
- He confirms the corpses are not living Chaos Demon Gods, only dead bodies.
- Using his Heavenly Emperor’s Eye and physical contact, he extracts visual memories from the first corpse:
- It was wounded by the qi of Pangu’s Sky-Opening Axe.
- While weakened, it was killed by another Chaos Demon God named Luohu, who pierced its chest with a spear and stole its heart.
- Li Yun realizes Pangu was not the only killer — other Chaos Demon Gods took advantage of the chaos to slay and plunder.
- He stores the first corpse inside the Thirty-Six Heavens and orders Li Shen to relocate living beings from two Great Thousand Worlds to make space.
- He processes a second corpse — a nine-headed Chaos Demon God — and learns it was also ambushed and killed by Luohu. He stores it as well.
- The third corpse is different: it is not a single being, but a patchwork body assembled from fragments of over a dozen (perhaps dozens) of Chaos Demon Gods.
- Li Yun deduces that Hongjun personally gathered and stitched these fragments together. It is not a true corpse but a constructed “true body.”
- He becomes excited because devouring this construct could vastly strengthen his own Heavenly Emperor true body, possibly to an unprecedented degree.
2. Character Developments
- Li Yun: Displays caution, greed, and strategic thinking. He quickly adapts when he discovers the corpses are safe to exploit, and he is willing to reorganize his inner worlds for maximum benefit. His ambition grows upon realizing the third corpse’s potential.
- Luohu: Implied to be a major surviving Chaos Demon God, a predator who killed other Demon Gods after Pangu wounded them.
- Hongjun: Implied to have secretly created a synthetic Chaos Demon God body, suggesting deep schemes beyond mere reincarnation.
3. Significant Themes
- Historical deception: The “truth” that Pangu killed all Chaos Demon Gods is incomplete; survivors and opportunists existed.
- Power through acquisition: Dead gods and corpse fragments are treated as resources for cultivation and strengthening.
- Risk vs. reward: Li Yun repeatedly checks dangers but prioritizes potential gains.
- Artificial bodies / creation: Hongjun’s stitched corpse raises questions about manufactured power and hidden plans.
4. Character Interactions
- Li Yun interacts with the corpses themselves — touching them, reading their residual memories, and absorbing them.
- He gives a direct order to Li Shen (off-screen) to relocate beings in the Thirty-Six Heavens.
- No living enemies or allies appear; all major named figures are historical/mythical: Pangu, Luohu, Hongjun.
