Facing Yang Mei's shock, Hong Yuan merely wore a faint smile.
He said nothing more.
Instead, he simply raised his hand again, manifesting the Law of Time.
Thus, Yang Mei, who had yet to calm down, once again lost his voice and shouted.
"Daoist Shi Chen's Law of Time!!"
Hong Yuan curled his lips—this was nothing yet.
So he waved his hand broadly, manifesting all ten-plus laws he had comprehended to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.
"Law of Arrays! Law of Martial Arts! Law of Wind..."
The power of over a dozen laws at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm left Yang Mei utterly dazed.
For a long time, he couldn't snap out of it, his mouth still murmuring to himself.
"How... how is this possible?"
Even now, he couldn't fathom how one person could possess so many laws simultaneously.
And each one comprehended to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin realm.
Even back when he was a Chaos Demon God.
Comprehending a second law was as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Though he could use the Law of Space to evolve other law powers, that was never the true path of law.
If anyone in the chaos could achieve this step, it would only be Pangu at the Half-step Great Dao Realm and the Great Dao itself.
The Great Dao goes without saying—after all, the Three Thousand Great Daos were all evolved by It.
As for Pangu, he simply didn't wish to.
He believed walking a single Law of Strength was enough.
No matter how many law powers there were, he would suppress them all with his strength.
If one axe wasn't enough, then another axe!
What Yang Mei didn't know was that although these innate Chaos Demon Gods could grasp a complete Great Dao Law from the very beginning.
This was also a shackle, magnifying the limitations on their future path countless times over.
Unless they could walk a path like Pangu's.
Ignore whatever laws there were—break all methods with one's own law path.
And Hong Yuan, watching Yang Mei lost in a daze, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing he hadn't manifested all nearly three hundred laws at once.
Otherwise, wouldn't Yang Mei in front of him go mad?
Suddenly, Yang Mei raised his head to look at Hong Yuan, his face somewhat frenzied as he asked, "Daoist Hong Yuan, I wonder if Daoist Pangu has truly fallen?!"
Hearing this, Hong Yuan's tea-drinking motion came to an abrupt halt.
He slowly set down the teacup in his hand, a playful expression spreading across his face: "What do you think?"
Hong Yuan said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.
Seeing this, Yang Mei couldn't help but freeze for a moment, then the next second burst into wild laughter. "I knew it, I knew it!!"
In an instant, Yang Mei's aura suddenly surged rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he directly broke through to the Golden Immortal of the Origin.
Witnessing this scene, Hong Yuan felt a fair amount of surprise in his heart.
Although Chaos Demon Gods like Yang Mei, due to their past lives, cultivated far faster than other living beings.
Still, this speed was a bit too fast.
Leaving aside their early birth, their cultivation progress was this absurd.
In his boredom, Hong Yuan also performed a deduction.
After some effort, Hong Yuan discovered with surprise that Luohu and the others hadn't even been born yet.
And looking at Yang Mei before him, who was already a Golden Immortal of the Origin.
Hong Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Mei truly lived up to his reputation.
As they say, when Time does not appear, Space reigns supreme.
He was indeed a cut above Luohu, Five Elements, Causality, Qiankun, and the others.
As for Hongjun, among the Three Thousand Demon Gods of the past, he was at best mid-to-upper tier.
He merely had the fortune to obtain a small fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation.
Only then could he gain a slight edge in cultivation advancement.

He guessed that back in the Chaos era, Yang Mei had probably left himself a way out.
That was the only reason he could retain far more than the others.
After all, Yang Mei governed the Space Law—if he truly resolved to hide, even Elder Brother Pangu would have to spend some effort to find him.
And after a Yuan Hui had passed, Yang Mei finally stabilized his cultivation.
He then turned his gaze to Hong Yuan beside him.
With a light smile, he said, "Yang Mei thanks you here, Daoist, for solving a problem that troubled me for a long time. I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Hong Yuan just smiled back. "No matter, I had nothing to do anyway."
But Yang Mei said very solemnly, "Consider this a favor I owe you, Daoist."
"Haha, then I'll be living off this favor of yours, Old Yang, for a lifetime!"
Hearing Hong Yuan's words, Yang Mei's face gained a few more traces of a smile.
He wasn't afraid of owing a favor; he was afraid Hong Yuan wouldn't accept it.
Since Hong Yuan was willing to let him owe this favor, it also showed that Hong Yuan likely bore him no ill will.
Just as Yang Mei was pondering, Hong Yuan slowly stood up.
"Alright, since you've already broken through, Old Yang, I should continue wandering the Primordial Wilderness."
But Hong Yuan paused here, then said, "Do you want to come along?"
Faced with Hong Yuan's suggestion, Yang Mei lightly stroked his beard, didn't hesitate too long, and spoke with a smile, "It wouldn't hurt to see some old friends."
Hong Yuan was in a good mood too—finally, he'd have someone to relieve the boredom on the road.
Not to mention anything else, his impression of Yang Mei was quite favorable.
Strong in strength, and knowing when to advance or retreat.
Completely different from one-track-minded people like Luohu and the Chaos Demon Ape.
Having them help him look after the Primordial Wilderness in the future wouldn't be a bad idea.
After that, Hong Yuan and Yang Mei began to travel together.
Yang Mei looked at the Primordial Wilderness, which had gained a bit more lushness, and couldn't help but sigh.
"No matter how many times I see it, I'm still utterly awestruck."
Hong Yuan knew that Yang Mei was most likely referring to Elder Brother Pangu's immense power.
"Yeah, Elder Brother's act was unprecedented, and it will be hard for anyone after to match!"
After all, creating a living being at this time was nothing like the ease of the future Primordial Wilderness.
And Pangu—how many tens of thousands of races did he create?
It was precisely because Elder Brother Pangu had blazed a trail from nothing that later actions by Nuwa, Ming He, and others were possible.
Since Yang Mei's perception of those old friends' auras far surpassed Hong Yuan's, Hong Yuan let Yang Mei take the lead.
Under Yang Mei's guidance, another Kalpa passed.
Along the way, Hong Yuan and Yang Mei did run into quite a few old friends.
Causality, Five Elements, Hun Peng, and others.
Although these surviving Chaos Demon Gods had hidden themselves deeply, they still couldn't escape the pursuit of this "traitor" Yang Mei.
So the two divided their work very clearly.
Yang Mei led the way, and Hong Yuan was responsible for breaking the formations.
And just as Hong Yuan had guessed earlier, these people had only just managed to undergo Form Transformation.
Their cultivation was merely at the mid-stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
They were probably still two or three Kalpas away from emerging into the world.
Thinking of the expressions on these people's faces—turning green then purple—when they saw him and Yang Mei, Hong Yuan found it oddly amusing.
But thinking about it, if it were him, and one day he suddenly found two people far above his own cultivation level in his Dojo out of nowhere—
Who the hell wouldn't be scared by that?
For an ordinary person, they'd probably be thinking of moving out by now.
But it was really interesting.
Rarely did one get to see these Chaos Demon Gods so flustered.
What Hong Yuan didn't know, however, was that shortly after they left, Causality, Five Elements, Hun Peng, and the others all had only one thought in their minds.
"No way, I'm moving!"
