Madness, Evil God, Pangu!

"Some Grand Unity are too weak; the data and programs they provide are insignificant. Some Grand Unity are infinitely powerful; they have established the framework of the Primordial Era and the direction of this game!" the Phoenix said. "But no matter what, every Grand Unity occupies a proportion in the Primordial Era, closely related to every living being."

Feng Xi listened, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

"Do you think you... are you? Do you truly control yourself?" The Phoenix paced, its tiny body looking somewhat comical. "The food you ingest, the water, the tens of thousands of vital energies you absorb... Your blood, your flesh, your bones, all achieved using the resources of the Primordial Era. Yet, are you sure there are no issues with these things?"

"The elements that make up your body, trillions upon trillions of substances... are you sure there hasn't been the involvement or hidden hand of a Grand Unity?"

"Your five internal organs, your six viscera, they form their own cycles; do they truly obey your command?"

"For example, the Ancestral Dragon, he controls all the waters under heaven, one of the sources of the Water Dao... The water that participates in your body's circulation, when you truly count it, does it listen to you, or does it listen to him?"

"I have cultivated for many years and am certain I have controlled everything within my body..." Feng Xi hesitated to speak.

"That's what you think," Great Sage Fuxi chuckled. "With your meager cultivation and realm, you dare to claim you've eliminated all hidden dangers?"

"Only Grand Unity can contend with Grand Unity... Do you think this sentence became common consensus among people because countless people who didn't believe in fate challenged it and failed, paving the way with their own flesh and blood?"

Feng Xi shivered.

After a long pause, he said heavily, "Even if my body is imprisoned, my soul is free..."

"Ha." Great Sage Fuxi laughed even more heartily.

"The soul is free? How is that possible?"

"The control Grand Unity have over the world isn't just about matter."

"It also includes information and cognition!"

"In fact, this kind of control and infection is even more insidious and impossible to guard against..."

"The moment you cognize something and form a judgment about it... you have already fallen into an endless abyss!"

"You have an understanding of the sun, and the Grand Unity who masters the Great Sun Dao has already left a trace in your heart."

"You recognize the nature of water, even if not completely... The divine being who masters the Great Water Dao will take root in your spirit."

"The contamination of Grand Unity isn't just through the material level. Infection and coverage on the informational and spiritual levels, the spread of memes, will eventually become an inseparable part of you."

Information can also become a virus.

"When you receive this information, your own being will change along with it, undergoing terrifying transformations."

"Do not look directly at the divine... This is not a joke," Great Sage Fuxi said calmly. "Don't believe me? I can let you experience the consequences and understand the true nature of this world."

This great and supreme divine being, at this moment, extended a finger and lightly tapped towards Feng Xi.

In an instant, Feng Xi's world completely changed.

He saw... countless indescribable things flash before his eyes.

He heard... countless unspeakable, bizarre whispers in his ears.

Accompanying these images, Feng Xi's entire being began to transform—mutating into an evil creature!

"Tear!"

His body developed one crack after another.

Blood-red muscles and pale bones twisted... blood-colored tumors rapidly grew, evolving into new organs.

"Pfft!"

Near his head, several tumors split open, becoming new heads.

Some showed anger; some showed despair; some showed madness.

On the surface of Feng Xi's body, scales grew; behind him, several tails extended... a dragon tail, a snake tail, a leopard tail, a tiger tail, and so on.

Around his waist, hundreds of slimy tentacles suddenly shot out, growing wildly, covering dozens of miles of mountains and rivers, whipping madly and unconsciously.

In just a moment, Feng Xi's appearance had completely changed.

With such a form, what were nine-headed birds or nine-tailed beasts compared to him?

He had directly transformed from a normal appearance into an Old Ruler, a true Great Evil God!

Infected by the Dao of Grand Unity, and multiple ones at that, Feng Xi directly fell into demonic possession and evil, hurtling towards a state of utter madness!

Until a certain moment, Great Sage Fuxi glanced at him with a detached gaze.

This glance felt like eternity.

All the abnormal phenomena that had fully manifested their presence, as if encountering their most fatal nemesis, disappeared silently like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

Only the dazed Feng Xi remained, instinctively touching himself all over, his face still showing a hint of lingering fear.

"How? How did it feel?" Great Sage Fuxi asked with great interest. "Interesting?"

"This is the infection of Grand Unity's information?" Feng Xi managed to say with difficulty. "I feel like I've become much, much stronger, instantly reaching the power of Grand Unity, but I was also going crazy, almost completely losing my mind..."

"You weren't almost crazy..." Fuxi sneered. "Without me suppressing your will, you would have already gone mad."

"Gulp." Feng Xi swallowed. "Is this world this dangerous?"

"With so much terrifying information filling every corner of the sky and earth, transmitting and infecting madly... how can ordinary people live?"

"Dangerous?" Fuxi pondered for a moment. "To say it's not dangerous would be lying with a clear conscience; but to say it's dangerous? Haven't people survived all these years?"

"Have you ever seen even one instance of someone losing control and going mad?"

Feng Xi paused, thinking silently.

"Well, no... Why is that?" he asked, genuinely curious about the reason behind it.

"Naturally, it's because someone wouldn't allow it," Fuxi replied with a smile. "There exists the most powerful, most invincible Grand Unity in all of history. He spread His will and information throughout endless time and space, suppressing the informational contagion of all other Grand Unity beings!"

"It was like using poison to fight poison, killing off the information that all Grand Unity beings passively radiated, which drove others mad."

"The information He spread was stability and harmony... As a result, all living beings behave normally. They don't hear those bizarre whispers, nor do they see the most terrifying, impactful visions."

"This is why beings below the Grand Unity realm can look directly at a Grand Unity... In certain aspects, they stand on equal footing."

"And this Grand Unity being, His name, you likely won't be unfamiliar with. It's a name you've heard countless times."

At this point, what else could Feng Xi not understand?

"Pangu!"

He sighed softly, uttering the name.

"Yes, Pangu," Fuxi nodded. "He slew the Three Thousand Grand Unity and suppressed all Daos... After successfully creating the heavens and earth, he forged his own body into the fabric of heaven and earth, creating all things and all spirits."

"He shattered his own soul, breaking it down into the source of the true spirits of all beings... It is precisely because of these contingency plans and safeguards, which have suppressed the eons of time, that the Primordial Era appears as normal as you see it now, rather than devolving into a bizarre world where madness reigns supreme."

"Ancestor God Pangu is truly great," Feng Xi exclaimed, his voice filled with emotion. "Such a sacrifice has created a beautiful Primordial Era."

"Great? Perhaps," Great Sage Fuxi smiled, a hint of an unusual expression in his eyes, though Feng Xi didn't notice.

Feng Xi was still immersed in the epic, magnificent saga Fuxi had recounted. Some doubts were cleared, while new ones arose. "The Three Thousand Grand Unity... the Chaos Demon Gods, and the current Grand Unity Saints, do they have any connection?"

"Grand Unity beings transcend time and space. Is it difficult for them to travel back in time to the Chaos Era?" Fuxi countered. "The so-called Chaos Demon Gods were also Grand Unity Saints... After all, achieving Grand Unity is difficult!"

"Only with the accumulation of immeasurable time could so many Grand Unity beings be born, only to eventually travel back through the ages and meet in the Chaos, lining up to be slain by Pangu... Their Daos were suppressed by Pangu's Dao, and all their strangeness vanished as a result."

"Wouldn't they try to avoid a suicidal fate?" Feng Xi mumbled.

"Under Pangu's will, who could escape?" Fuxi's lips curved slightly. "When he decided to offer all the Chaos Demon Gods to the heavens, it was an irreversible destiny, a great trend!"

"It should be considered fortunate that he at least allowed their Innate Undying Spiritual Lights a way out, not formatting their consciousness. All Grand Unity beings should be eternally grateful."

Pangu!

Strong!

Invincible!

The undisputed ultimate powerhouse, crushing anyone who dared to defy him!

Defy him?

Then die!

Feng Xi admired this supreme being's iron-fisted approach with his entire being.

He hoped that one day in the future, he might be so fortunate as to possess such might.

At that time, he could settle some old scores, like being tricked, or being tricked again...

"Alright, I've said enough..." Fuxi waved his hand grandly. "Considering your difficult circumstances, I won't hold it against you for being a profiteer, buying and selling things in the Phoenix Perch Mountain range."

"Take this and get lost... And remember, don't let it happen again."

The Fuxi Emperor issued a clear dismissal.

But Feng Xi was reluctant to leave.

Chatting with Great Sage Fuxi was such an interesting experience!

In just a short moment, he had learned so many secret matters! These were secrets that only beings at the Grand Unity realm were qualified to know!

The great being was kind, and his words were pleasant to hear. He really liked it here.

What should he do now?

Feng Xi's mind raced, racking his brain for a method that he wasn't sure would work.

His relationship with his clones was ruined.

But he could still try to build a connection from somewhere else!

For example—Ancestor and descendant?

Great Sage Fuxi, besides being one of the four emperors of the Demon Clan, was also a Human King of the Human Race!

Feng Xi was from the Human Race in his previous life, wasn't he?

And there was another crucial point.

Human King Fuxi, his surname was Feng!

Feng Xi... also had the surname Feng!

Same surname!

What is fate?

This is fate!

Perhaps Feng Xi even had some blood relation to Fuxi!

"Although your surname was Feng in your previous life, honestly, you might not really be related to me," Fuxi said very solemnly. "After all, I am not the origin of the Human Race's surname, Feng."

"Huh?" Feng Xi looked completely bewildered.

"The origin of the Feng surname belongs to another Human King—Suiren!" Fuxi's expression was incredibly solemn. "Suiren is who you know as Suiren Shi!"

"Suiren Emperor established the surname Feng and the clan name Hao!"

PS: Interested readers can search for the keyword "Suiren Shi" on Baidu and look at the ten inventions listed. After reading, you will realize that if these are applied to the Primordial Era, then he is a truly hidden powerhouse.

He summarized the Heavenly Dao, named the Earthly Dao, and established the Human Dao, handling all three Daos with his own hands. In his left hand, he drew the River Diagram; in his right, he wrote the Luo Script; and so on and so forth.

Readers who followed my previous book will understand that the protagonist's actions in that book were essentially Suiren Shi's work.
