Luohu's Business is Father

After who knows how long, Hong Yuan finally finished the initial refinement of the Chaos Bead and the World-Destroying Millstone.

He had refined 50 of their 55 restrictions.

(Low-grade Acquired/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 1–12 restrictions; Mid-grade Acquired/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 13–24 restrictions; High-grade Acquired/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 25–36 restrictions; Top-grade Acquired/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 37–48 restrictions; Acquired/Innate Supreme Treasures: 49 restrictions; Low-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures: 50 restrictions; Mid-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures: 51 restrictions; High-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures: 52 restrictions; Top-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasures: 53 restrictions; as for Chaos Supreme Treasures, they have a full 55 restrictions; additionally, the restrictions of Acquired and Innate treasures are divided into Innate Restrictions and Acquired Restrictions.)

This was entirely thanks to Great Dao Father and System Father.

Without them, with his current cultivation, trying to initially refine these two Chaos Supreme Treasures would have taken who knows how much more effort.

Just as Hong Yuan withdrew his mind and spirit, The entire Chaos suddenly trembled.

Pangu, who was beside Hong Yuan, abruptly opened his eyes and rose directly from the Lotus Platform.

The moment he stood, all the Chaos Demon Gods in the entire Chaos instantly changed expression.

They only felt an unimaginably thick thread of Causality instantly connect to them.

On this thread of Causality, they could faintly sense a crisis of death.

The density of it was enough to make even the Chaos Demon Gods feel their scalps go numb.

[Great Dao above, I am Pangu, the Demon God of Strength, master of the Law of Strength.]

As Pangu proclaimed to the Great Dao, his aura grew increasingly terrifying, directly breaking through that final threshold, reaching the Half-step Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal (Half-step Great Dao Realm).

Hong Yuan shrank to the side, trembling slightly as he watched his Elder Brother.

Even with Pangu's protection, Hong Yuan could still feel the immense power of this aura.

Without Pangu's protection, he would be instantly crushed into dust by this overwhelming presence—not even a speck left behind.

At this moment, Great Dao Father's gaze once again turned to watch.

He simply looked at Pangu in silence.

The Dao's voice rumbled.

Leaving behind a single word: "Approved."

Seeing this, Hong Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit of joy for his Elder Brother.

But then he thought again—since his Elder Brother had emerged, it probably wouldn't be long before he transformed into the Primordial Wilderness.

He didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse.

Having stayed by Pangu's side for so long, he had truly come to regard Pangu as his Elder Brother.

He really was reluctant to let go.

And after Pangu proclaimed his existence, deep within Chaos, a Daoist suddenly let out a helpless sigh.

He lifted his head slightly, looking upward, and murmured to himself.

"Great Dao, is this the trial you have set for us?"

As one who controlled the Law of Causality, the moment this thread of Causality appeared on him, he understood that this was a trial set by the Great Dao for them.

That Pangu, who controlled the Law of Strength, was the test the Great Dao had arranged for them.

If they passed, they would live.

If they failed, they would only die.

And from the aura Pangu had released, This calamity, they feared, could not be avoided.

Even he, at present, was merely at the Primordial Supreme Great Luo Golden Immortal Seventh Heaven, a world away from the Ninth Heaven, let alone Pangu, who had taken a step beyond the Ninth Heaven.

For now, he could only contact the other Chaos Demon Gods.

By himself, he had absolutely no chance of contending with Pangu.

Though the Great Dao was merciless, it had not left them without an opportunity.

If it were a one-on-one duel between him and Pangu, then he could just wash up and prepare to die.

But now, it was Pangu against all the remaining Chaos Demon Gods.

This was also their opportunity.

As the Karma Demon God pondered, the figures of several Daoists suddenly appeared before him.

These Daoists were of varying ages, some old and some young.

The auras emanating from them were not much weaker than that of the Karma Demon God.

Two of them were even stronger than the Karma Demon God himself.

Seeing these Daoists, the Karma Demon God stood up and made a slight bow toward them.

"Karma greets you, fellow Daoists."

"Yang Mei greets you, fellow Daoist Karma."

An elderly man chuckled softly and returned the bow to the Karma Demon God.

Around him, it seemed as if countless spaces were swirling.

He appeared otherworldly, as if not truly present in this space at all, the constantly twisting void around him sending chills down one's spine.

Seeing this, the Time Demon God couldn't help but frown slightly. "Fellow Daoist Karma, spare us the formalities. You control the Law of Karma—is there any way you can erase these karmic ties of ours?"

As the Time Demon God's voice rang out.

The other Chaos Demon Gods also turned their gazes to the Karma Demon God.

This was precisely why they had chosen to seek him out.

If there were any other choice, who would want to fight to the death with that freak Pangu?

Wouldn't it be better to just cultivate peacefully here in the Chaos?

Besides, judging from Pangu's aura, he could probably beat them all senseless.

It wasn't that they were cowards—they just felt it was unnecessary.

Faced with their inquiries, the Karma Demon God let out a faint sigh. "Though I control the Law of Karma, this kind of karma is beyond me. It was laid down by the Great Dao. I am helpless as well. If I could, I wouldn't want to oppose Pangu either."

Hearing this, a young man radiating surging demonic qi couldn't help but glance upward and lower his voice to mutter, "Damn this Great Dao. One day, I'll make it taste this feeling."

As soon as Luohu said this, everyone's faces changed drastically.

"Fellow Daoist, watch your words!!"

After saying this, they instinctively looked up, and seeing nothing unusual, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But they subtly stepped away from Luohu, afraid of getting splattered if blood flew.

If they truly angered the Great Dao.

They'd probably be killed on the spot.

One Pangu was already giving them headaches enough; truly provoking the Great Dao.

Then they'd just have to wait to die.

That was an existence that could snuff them out with a single glance.

Not to mention that although each of them, these so-called Chaos Demon Gods, was born differently, every law they controlled was manifested by the Great Dao.

Calling the Great Dao 'Father' wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Even if, compared to Pangu, they felt a bit like illegitimate children.

They still couldn't disrespect their father.

Luohu naturally understood why they were panicking, but inwardly he was somewhat dismissive.

So what if it was Father?

He, Luohu, was born in the Chaos—his business was taking down Father!

Who said he couldn't one day make the Great Dao call him Father?

But somehow, the moment this thought crossed his mind, a chill rose in his heart.

It felt as if a pair of vast, ancient, and indifferent eyes had coldly glanced at him.

Seeing those eyes, Luohu couldn't help but shiver.

He hurriedly and frantically suppressed the thought in his mind.

After clearing his throat twice, he looked at Time and the others. "So what do we do now? Fight it out with Pangu?"

As soon as Luohu said this, everyone fell silent.

After a long while, it was Time who broke into a laugh first.

"Since the Great Dao has set this stage, we have no choice. Then let's fight Pangu. Life and death are fated—we're not without a chance. After all, no matter how strong Pangu is, he's only one person. We Chaos Demon Gods number in the hundreds of thousands!"

"Though the Great Dao is merciless, remember: the Great Dao has fifty paths, heaven derives forty-nine, and one is left to escape. We still have a chance. And after we kill Pangu, we might even be able to advance further, taking that extra step on the same path as Pangu!"

The Five Elements Demon God chuckled in agreement. "Fellow Daoist Time speaks sense. No matter how strong Pangu is, he can't possibly kill all of us!"

At this point, Hongjun, who had been standing by like a bystander, thought for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile and added a word.

"In that case, we should contact the others as soon as possible and make preparations early."

Hearing Hongjun's words, Yang Mei suddenly recalled something and said thoughtfully, "I wonder if any of you noticed Chaos Daoist's fury earlier?"

Hongjun thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "It seems someone stole his Chaos Bead?"

"Exactly! Since that Daoist managed to take the Chaos Bead from Chaos Daoist without a trace, he must have some skill in concealment. If we could help him prepare, perhaps we could catch Pangu off guard?"

Hongjun, upon hearing this, also fell into contemplation. "True. If possible, perhaps we could have him return the Chaos Bead to Chaos Daoist. After all, that Daoist only just obtained it, so he likely hasn't refined many of its restrictions."

"But Chaos Daoist is different. No matter how you look at it, the Chaos Bead is his companion treasure—he is far more familiar with it than anyone else. With it, we might gain a few more advantages in the fight. After all, the Chaos Bead is one of the only five Chaos Supreme Treasures!"

Hearing this, Luohu immediately curled his lips. Watching Hongjun put on his goody-two-shoes act, he felt a sudden surge of disgust.

You know it's a Chaos Supreme Treasure, and you just open your mouth and tell someone to hand it over.

How big a face do you have?

But he also knew that what Hongjun said did have some logic.

Still, he asked himself: if he had obtained the Chaos Bead, he would never obediently return it.

Even if he had to control it and self-destruct, he wouldn't give it back.

After all, the power of a self-destructing Chaos Bead was far greater than just using it to smash someone, wasn't it?
