After an unknown amount of time, Hong Yuan finally finished the initial refinement of the Chaos Bead and the World-Destroying Millstone.
Of the fifty-five restrictions, he had refined fifty.
(Low-grade Postnatal/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 1–12 restrictions;
Mid-grade Postnatal/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 13–24 restrictions;
High-grade Postnatal/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 25–36 restrictions;
Top-grade Postnatal/Innate Spiritual Treasures: 37–48 restrictions;
Postnatal/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 possessed a full fifty-five restrictions; furthermore, the restrictions of Postnatal and Innate magic treasures were also divided into Innate restrictions and Postnatal restrictions.)
This was entirely thanks to Great Dao Dad and System Dad.
Without them, with his current cultivation, who knew how much effort it would have taken him to initially refine these two Chaos Supreme Treasures?
Just as Hong Yuan withdrew his consciousness—
The entire Chaos suddenly trembled.
Pangu beside Hong Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and rose directly from the Lotus Platform.
The moment he stood, the expressions of every Demon God within Chaos changed drastically.
They felt an unimaginably thick strand of Causality instantly connect itself to them.
From that strand of Causality, they faintly sensed a crisis of death.
It was so intense that the Chaos Demon Gods could not help but feel their scalps tingle.
[Great Dao above, I am Pangu, the Demon God of Strength, controller of the Law of Strength]
As Pangu proclaimed himself to the Great Dao, his aura grew increasingly terrifying, directly breaking through that final threshold and reaching the Half-step Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal realm (Half-step Great Dao Realm).
Hong Yuan shrank off to the side, trembling slightly as he watched his eldest brother.
Even under Pangu's protection, Hong Yuan could still feel just how powerful that force was.
Without Pangu's protection, he would have been crushed into scraps by that vast pressure in an instant, leaving not even a hair behind.
At that moment, Great Dao Dad's gaze descended once more.
It silently watched Pangu.
The sound of the Dao thundered.
It left behind a single word: "Approved."
Seeing this, Hong Yuan could not help but feel happy for his eldest brother.
But on second thought, since his eldest brother had already been born, it probably would not be long before he transformed into the Primordial Wilderness.
He did not know whether that was a blessing or a disaster.
After staying by Pangu's side for so long, he had truly come to regard Pangu as his eldest brother.
He truly could not bear to part with him.
After Pangu proclaimed his existence, deep within Chaos, a Daoist suddenly sighed helplessly.
He raised his head slightly, looked above, and muttered to himself.
"Great Dao, is this the trial you have given us?"
As one who controlled the Law of Causality, he understood the instant this Causality appeared upon him that it was a trial set by the Great Dao for them.
Pangu, who controlled the Law of Strength, was the trial the Great Dao had arranged for them.
If they passed it, they would live.
If they failed, there was only death.
Judging from the aura Pangu was releasing—
They were afraid they would not be able to avoid this calamity.
Even he had only barely reached the Seventh Heaven of the Primordial Supreme Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He was still unimaginably far from the Ninth Heaven, let alone Pangu, who had taken another step beyond the Ninth Heaven.
Now, he could only contact the other Chaos Demon Gods.
By himself, there was absolutely no way he could contend against Pangu.
Though the Great Dao was merciless, it had not left them without an opportunity.
If it had been him facing Pangu one-on-one, he might as well wash up and wait for death.
But now, it was Pangu alone against all the other Chaos Demon Gods.
This was also their opportunity.
As the Karma Demon God pondered, several Daoists suddenly appeared before Causality.
These Daoists included both old and young men.
The auras they gave off were not much weaker than that of the Karma Demon God.
Two of them were even stronger than the Karma Demon God.
Upon seeing them, the Karma Demon God rose and gave them a slight bow.
"Causality greets you, fellow Daoists."
"Yang Mei greets Fellow Daoist Causality."
An elderly man chuckled and returned the greeting to the Karma Demon God.
Countless spaces seemed to surround him.
He seemed detached from the world, as though he did not exist within this space at all. The continuously twisting space around him made one's heart turn cold.
Seeing the two acting this way, the Shi Chen Demon God could not help but frown slightly. "Fellow Daoist Causality, stop with all this pointless ceremony. Since you control the Law of Causality, do you have a way to eliminate the Causality upon us?"
As the Shi Chen Demon God's voice rang out—
The other Chaos Demon Gods also turned their gazes toward the Karma Demon God.
This was why they had chosen to seek out the Karma Demon God.
If they had a choice, who would be willing to fight that freak Pangu to the death?
Wasn't cultivating peacefully in Chaos good enough?
Besides, judging from Pangu's aura, he could probably hang them up and beat them senseless.
It was not that they were cowards. They simply felt there was no need for it.
Faced with everyone's questions, the Karma Demon God sighed softly. "Though I control the Law of Causality, I have no solution to this kind of Causality. It was arranged by the Great Dao, and I am helpless as well. If I could, I would not wish to become enemies with Pangu either."
Hearing that, a young man emanating monstrous demonic aura could not help but glance upward. Lowering his voice, he grumbled, "This damned Great Dao. One day, I will make him taste this feeling too."
The moment Luohu said that, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Fellow Daoist, mind your words!!"
After saying that, they instinctively glanced upward. Seeing nothing unusual, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet their feet subtly moved farther away from Luohu, afraid that blood might splash onto them later.
If he truly angered the Great Dao—
They might be killed on the spot.
Pangu alone was already enough to give them a headache. If they truly angered the Great Dao—
Then they could only obediently wait for death.
That was an existence capable of making them drop dead with a single glance.
Not to mention that although each of these so-called Chaos Demon Gods had been born differently, the laws they controlled had all been transformed from the Great Dao.
It was not excessive to call the Great Dao their father.
Although compared to Pangu, they all somewhat felt like illegitimate children—
They still could not disrespect their old man.
Naturally, Luohu knew why everyone was panicking, but deep down, he was somewhat disdainful.
So what if he was their old man?
He, Luohu, had been born within Chaos. Taking on his old man was exactly what he did!
Who was to say he would not have a chance to make the Great Dao call him father?
Yet for some reason, the moment that thought flashed through his mind, a chill rose within his heart.
It was as though he had seen a pair of incomparably vast, ancient eyes coldly glance at him.
At the sight of those eyes, Luohu could not help but shudder.
Panicking slightly, he hurriedly dismissed the thought from his mind.
After coughing twice, he looked toward Shi Chen and the others. "Then what should we do now? Fight Pangu?"
The moment Luohu said that, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Shi Chen was the first to laugh.
"Since the Great Dao has set this game before us, we have no choice. In that case, let us fight Pangu. Life and death are determined by fate, and it is not as though we have no chance. No matter how strong Pangu is, he is only one man. There are hundreds of thousands of Chaos Demon Gods among us!"
"Though the Great Dao is merciless, one must know that the Great Dao is fifty, Heaven's evolution is forty-nine, with one escaping. We are not without a chance. Moreover, after killing Pangu, we may have the opportunity to take another step forward, perhaps even take another step upon that path as Pangu has!"
Hearing this, the Five Elements Demon God chuckled. "Fellow Daoist Shi Chen is right. No matter how strong Pangu is, he may not be able to kill every one of us!"
At this moment, Hongjun, who had been standing by like a passerby, thought for a moment, then stepped forward with a radiant smile and added a comment.
"Since that is the case, we should contact the others as soon as possible and make preparations early."
Hearing Hongjun's words, Yang Mei suddenly recalled something and spoke thoughtfully. "Did any of you notice Chaos Daoist's fury earlier?"
Hongjun thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "It seemed that Chaos Daoist's Chaos Bead was taken by someone?"
"Exactly! Since that fellow Daoist was able to take the Chaos Bead from Chaos Daoist without anyone noticing, he must possess some means of concealment. If we can help him make preparations, perhaps we can catch Pangu off guard?"
Hearing that, Hongjun fell into thought. "That is true. If possible, perhaps we should have him return the Chaos Bead to Chaos Daoist. After all, that fellow Daoist has only just obtained the Chaos Bead, so he likely has not refined many of its restrictions."
"But Chaos Daoist is different. The Chaos Bead is, after all, his accompanying magic treasure. He is far more familiar with it than anyone else. Perhaps that could give us a few more chances of victory. After all, the Chaos Bead is one of the only five Chaos Supreme Treasures!"
Hearing this, Luohu immediately curled his lips. Looking at Hongjun's kindly old-man act, he somehow felt a trace of disgust.
You know it is a Chaos Supreme Treasure, yet you open your mouth and tell someone to hand it over.
Who do you think you are?
But he also knew that Hongjun's words did make some sense.
Yet if he were to obtain the Chaos Bead, he would never obediently return it.
Even if he controlled the Chaos Bead and made it self-destruct, he still would not return it.
After all, the power of controlling the Chaos Bead to self-destruct was far greater than using the Chaos Bead to smash someone, wasn't it?
