I Just Took a Nap

With one step forward, Pangu's aura surged. His body expanded directly to an immense size, and he raised the Pangu Axe high before bringing it down in a fierce chop.

The entire chaos trembled beneath that strike.

Within the once-calm chaos, Chaos Qi churned wildly. Countless things that had existed within the chaos were reduced to dust beneath that axe.

Yet, that strike was only the beginning.

After swinging the first axe, Pangu's movements suddenly quickened.

Axe techniques filled with Dao Trajectories flowed from Pangu's hands one after another. Every swing made the entire chaos shudder.

Chaos knew no years.

Thus, time was essentially meaningless.

Every strike of Pangu's axe seemed both slow and fast.

But whether fast or slow, Pangu ultimately completed all forty-nine strikes.

When the forty-ninth strike fell, the outline of the world had already become clearly visible.

Pangu opened the heavens with forty-nine strikes, and heaven and earth were born.

Yet, everything had long been fated. Pangu would never be able to deliver the fiftieth strike.

As the forty-ninth strike descended, the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Axe, finally shattered beneath its accumulated damage. It split into three, becoming three Innate Supreme Treasures: the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell.

At the same time, the Chaos Supreme Treasure above Pangu's head, the Jade Plate of Creation, also exploded under the combined effects of the backlash from opening the heavens and the damage it had sustained in its earlier battle with the Chaos Demon Gods. Its fragments scattered into the newborn world.

Finally, even the Chaos Supreme Treasure beneath Pangu's feet, the Thirty-Six Grade Green Lotus, transformed into countless streams of light and vanished into this world.

Pangu remained expressionless, as though he had not seen the three Chaos Supreme Treasures shatter.

He reached out and took the three Innate Supreme Treasures formed from the Pangu Axe.

With a wave of his hand, the Taiji Diagram immediately became a golden bridge spanning the cosmos, stabilizing the raging Earth Water Wind Fire.

He casually tossed out the Chaos Bell, and bursts of bell chimes rang out, suppressing the vast world.

Meanwhile, the Pangu Banner in Pangu's hand continued to wave. Streams of Chaos Sword Qi shot forth, making this world even more complete.

Gradually, under Pangu's hands, this newborn world finally began to stabilize.

The clear rose, while the turbid sank.

Pangu, already aware of his own fate, sighed softly and held up the heavens with his hands for an unknown number of years.

In the end, after heaven and earth had completely stabilized, Pangu used his own body and the bodies of the Three Thousand Demon Gods to transform into all things in the world.

The breath he exhaled became the wind, clouds, and mist between heaven and earth.

His voice became thunder.

His left eye became the blazing sun, while his right eye became the bright moon.

His hair became the countless stars in the sky.

Finally, his spine became Mount Buzhou, supporting heaven and earth.

Thus, Pangu finally fell.

However, Pangu had ultimately opened this world, and his inheritance should not be cut off.

Therefore, Pangu still left behind one Primordial Spirit and one drop of Heart Blood.

That Primordial Spirit split into three, while that Heart Blood divided into twelve portions.

Whether bloodline or Primordial Spirit, all of them carried Pangu's inheritance.

After Pangu fell, immeasurable Heaven Opening Merit finally descended from the heavens.

Thirty percent of the Heaven Opening Merit gathered from nothingness and ultimately formed a thirty-six-story small pagoda.

It was the number one Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.

Another thirty percent of the merit divided into three and followed the three masses of clear qi formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit.

Another thirty percent of the Heaven Opening Merit divided into twelve and followed the twelve drops of Heart Blood.

Pangu's descendants should naturally enjoy Pangu's legacy.

As for the final ten percent of the merit, it transformed into a rain of light that nourished the newborn Primordial Wilderness.

The merit had all descended.

The three great Heaven Opening Supreme Treasures formed from the Pangu Axe also seemed to sense Pangu's fall and immediately scattered in different directions.

Among them, the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner vanished without a trace, while the Chaos Bell sank into the Solar Star formed from Pangu's left eye and disappeared.

The twelve drops of Pangu's Essence Blood entered Mount Buzhou, formed from Pangu's spine.

The three streams of clear qi formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit entered the Primordial Land.

At the same time, Shen Gui's Primordial Spirit, still asleep, drifted unsteadily toward the Northern Great Desolation. A small pagoda rested atop the back of the illusory Small Turtle.

Pangu had used the body of the Shen Gui Demon God to evolve the world, owing Shen Gui a karmic debt. Thus, he used the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda to repay that debt.

Of course, karma was nothing but an empty notion. For Pangu, how could he not leave something good behind for his little pet?

Then, the illusory Small Turtle sank directly into the earth of the Northern Great Desolation, like a stone vanishing into the sea, never making another sound.

When Shen Gui awoke again, who knew how many years had already passed.

He only remembered that after discovering he could grow stronger simply by sleeping in the chaos, he had fallen asleep. Somewhere in the middle, his head seemed to have bumped into something, waking him once, but he soon went right back to sleep.

So, what time was it now?

Had Pangu opened the heavens yet?

Could he withstand the Great Tribulation of Heaven Opening now?

Half-awake, Shen Gui thought lazily.

Then he realized something seemed wrong.

This place did not seem to be within the chaos!

That realization nearly made Shen Gui jump up.

In the end, he still failed to jump up, but all the living beings in the Northern Great Desolation felt the earth tremble.

Shen Gui was a little dazed upon realizing that he was no longer in the chaos.

I just took a nap. What the hell happened?
