Chaos's Past, Life's Remains
Cihang held both respect and apprehension towards the Shichen.
Originally, he was someone you didn't plan to visit at Shichen, to avoid any unexpected incidents.
After all, he had indirectly sabotaged Shichen's plans before.
Although he has ways to deal with it, it's best to avoid these troubles if it's a pity.
But Shichen discovered Cihang first and didn't want him to leave like this.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be nervous; there's no enmity between us."
As for my grudge with Pangu, there is indeed no need to involve innocent people.
The reason for this meeting with you, fellow Daoist, is to inquire about the current state of Chaos!
When facing Cihang, Shichen's usually cold and stern face softened with a smile.
"Since you, fellow Daoist, wish to know, Cihang will certainly answer all your questions to the best of her knowledge."
"But I've only been in the realm of chaos for a short time, and I don't know much about it!"
Shichen's attitude greatly reduced Cihang's vigilance.
At the same time, he made no Shichen of his experiences in the Chaos.
"As expected, we are not the only ones in the Chaos."
After our demise, the Great Dao of Chaos once again gave birth to numerous gods and demons!
Yang Mei, on the other hand, was even luckier than me, recovering her Chaos True Form first!
On the other side, after hearing Cihang's story, Shichen was also filled with emotion.
Looking at Cihang, Shichen suddenly felt a strong urge to confide in her.
In the earliest memories of Shichen, chaos was nothingness, until the birth of gods and demons like them, which added a touch of color.
Even though Shichen had reached the half-step Great Dao realm, he still didn't know where the limit of chaos lay.
They had never even seen any other living beings besides the Chaos Demon God.
They had tried to explore the outside world, but before they could take action, an inexplicable threat and warning stopped them.
Their heightened senses told them that once they stepped out of that realm, annihilation awaited them.
Although the Chaos Demon God are powerful and arrogant, life is, unfortunately, the instinct of living beings.
Initially, these gods and demons lived in harmony, even discussing philosophy and exchanging combat skills.
However, as their strength increased, they gradually became dissatisfied with the status quo.
In this chaos, they were indeed supreme beings, but their inability to leave made them feel deeply stifled by their confinement.
This is why these gods and demons gradually became irritable and easily angered, which in turn led to one conflict after another.
Even so, under the suppression of several supreme gods and demons, everything was still within a controllable range.
As several supreme gods and demons broke through to the peak of the Hunyuan Taiji, a realization arose in their hearts.
That is, only by achieving the state of Hunyuan Wuji, which is also the state of the Great Dao, can one escape the fate of being imprisoned.
At that moment, all the gods and demons were unable to remain calm and began searching for a way to break through.
However, the realm of the Great Dao is not so easy to break through, and all the gods and demons ended in failure.
This naturally includes Pangu and Shichen and a few others.
Until Pangu intended to shatter the chaos and create the world to prove his Dao.
Of course, his creation of the world and attainment of enlightenment was not just about opening up the Primordial World, but about devouring the origins of countless gods and demons, and using the power of all the gods and demons to break the shackles of the Great Dao in one fell swoop.
It can be said that Pangu's purpose in creating the world was not pure.
The group of Chaos Demon God were not trying to stop Pangu from attaining Pangu, but rather to protect themselves.
As for the outcome, it goes without Shichen that Cihang was fully aware of it.
This story left Cihang utterly astonished.
"So that's how it is! No wonder you and the other gods and demons harbor such resentment towards Pangu!"
Cihang now understood the resentment these gods and demons harbored towards Pangu.
Even if it were him, he wouldn't be able to let it go.
Of course, understanding does not mean complete acceptance, after all, we have different perspectives.
He, Cihang, was clearly a beneficiary of Pangu's creation of the world.
If Pangu had not created the world, there would be no Cihang.
"Resentment? I wouldn't say so."
In fact, if I were given the opportunity to attain enlightenment, I would make the same choice.
However, we still failed completely.
I remained in the Primordial World not to seek revenge against Pangu, but for the sake of that vast and boundless Dao!
There was no resentment in Shichen's eyes, only a yearning for and unwavering commitment to the Great Dao.
"The path to enlightenment is vast and boundless. If such an opportunity were truly presented before us, who could possibly give it up?"
It's not a matter of who was right or wrong back then; it was simply a struggle over fundamental principles!
Cihang expressed her understanding.
At the same time, he was also asking himself, if he were in his shoes, what choice would he make?
Cihang realized that he couldn't make a choice; perhaps this was the difference between him and Pangu of Shichen!
"I apologize for not communicating with fellow practitioners for so long. I'm sorry to have trouble you to reminisce about these past events with me!"
Shichen spoke somewhat apologetically.
"Being able to hear these secrets broadened Cihang's horizons."
It should be Cihang who thanks fellow Daoists!
Although the Shichen wasn't about the Great Dao or opportunities, it did give Cihang a better understanding of the Chaos.
Moreover, these past events themselves are an invisible opportunity.
"I hope these can be of some help to you, fellow Daoist. It's worth it for you to have spent so much time talking to me!"
The smile in Shichen's eyes became even more genuine.
No matter how high his level of attainment was, the endless silence of the years made him feel deeply lonely.
Although there are many remnants of gods and demons in these ruins, in this Primordial World, only Cihang can enter the Eye of Shichen.
Since the beginning of Primordial World, this is the day he has spoken the most.
"It is an honor for Cihang have the opportunity to converse with fellow Daoists!"
Cihang's words were not forced in the slightest.
Even though the two did not discuss the Dao, at the Shichen level, their own Dao had already been integrated into their every move.
In other words, the Shichen itself is a manifestation of the Great Dao of Time.
"It is a Shichen fortune to have met you in the Primordial World."
As I said before, if you were in the Chaos Realm, your achievements would certainly be no less than ours, and might even surpass them.
Now that you are about to enter the Chaos Realm, your cultivation strength will surely increase rapidly.
Today I also offer you a true opportunity, so that our acquaintance will not have been in vain!
As Shichen passed, a section of ancient, withered wood appeared in the main hall.
Although the withered tree looked desolate, it exuded Life Origin Cihang was familiar with.
"Is this the remains of Life Demon God?"
Cihang looked at the withered tree trunk in front of her with surprise.
He knew that Yang Mei had only obtained half of the Life Origin, but he didn't expect that the other half was in Shichen's hands.
"Indeed, it is the remains of Fellow Daoist Life."
Although I believe you are Green Lotus Incarnation, you also possess a pure life force.
"It's obvious you obtained the other half of the Life Origin from Yang Mei. Now I'll help you complete this inheritance and essence!"
Shichen's eyes held emotion and reminiscence.
The Life Demon God are cultivators who, like them, are at the half-step Great Dao stage.
Unfortunately, the Life Demon God was not as fortunate as them, and perished in the great calamity of creation.
The fact that he and Yang Mei have survived to this day is not only due to their own Law Great Dao, but also inextricably linked to this fragment of the Life Demon God's body.
Giving it to Cihang now can be seen as preserving its legacy.
