The Beginning of World Creation

Pangu suddenly stopped his sermon, and the Sound of the Great Dao that had been flowing through the void came to an abrupt halt.

Xuanxiao, who had been immersed in the state of enlightenment, slowly awakened due to this sudden interruption.

He looked at Pangu with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of confusion.

"Little Brother, the time has come. I must fulfill my mission." A carefree, unrestrained smile appeared on Pangu's face.

Hearing this, Xuanxiao couldn't help but show reluctance on his own face.

He furrowed his brow slightly and tried to persuade him: "Big Brother, after you are born, do you really have to create the world? Maybe... just forget it. If you think about it carefully, this Chaos World has its own charm—there's nothing wrong with it."

After all this time together, Xuanxiao had truly come to regard Pangu as his elder brother.

Though he was also curious about the unknown Primordial World, compared to that, he really didn't want to see Pangu eventually transform into the Primordial World and head toward that unknown fate.

"Xuanxiao, World Creation is my innate mission, and it is the inevitable manifestation of the Dao I carry. Moreover, after I transform into the Primordial World, the Primordial World will be me, and I will be the Primordial World. This is not truly a fall." Pangu looked at Xuanxiao with a gentle gaze and spoke softly to comfort him.

"Sigh, I understand." Xuanxiao let out a helpless sigh, knowing he couldn't change Pangu's decision, and stopped trying to persuade him.

Then, Pangu's body began to gradually dissipate. At the same time, a series of rhythmic, mysterious sounds came from within the Thirty-Six-Petal Chaos Green Lotus. Accompanied by these sounds, countless mysterious Dao runes appeared on the green lotus, radiating brilliant and strange light.

Immediately after, the entire Chaos World shook violently. The force of this tremor was far greater and more majestic than when any Chaos Demon God had been born before.

It was as if the entire chaos was being shaken by an invisible force, letting out a thunderous roar.

In the depths of chaos, countless strange phenomena appeared.

Light flickered, runes interwove, as if the entire chaos was celebrating something in its own unique way.

Countless Chaos Demon Gods sensed this unusual disturbance in the chaos and turned their gazes toward its center.

Their hearts were filled with doubt and unease, and they murmured to themselves: "What is going on?"

Just as everyone was puzzled, a deafening roar suddenly came from the center of chaos.

Accompanied by this roar, the Eye of the Great Dao, radiating boundless majesty and mystery, slowly appeared in the void of chaos.

The Chaos Demon Gods widened their eyes, staring at the Eye of the Great Dao in terror, their exclamations rising one after another: "The Great Dao has come out too—what the hell is going on!"

Xuanxiao looked at the Eye of the Great Dao appearing in the void and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Big Brother really is the Great Dao's favored son."

When they, the Chaos Demon Gods, were born, the Great Dao paid them no attention at all.

But now that Pangu was born, the Great Dao had personally appeared. This stark difference left him with mixed feelings.

While the Chaos Demon Gods were still guessing what was happening, a towering, sky-shading figure slowly emerged at the center of chaos.

"Above the Great Dao, I am the Primordial Heavenly King, Pangu. Now that I am born, I shall wield the Great Dao of Strength!" Pangu's voice rang out like a great bell throughout the entire Chaos World, filled with supreme authority and dominance.

After declaring his birth, Pangu's Dao Body did not dissipate. Instead, he continued to speak loudly:

"I observe this Chaos World—dark and unenlightened, with no distinction between heaven and earth, and the two principles hidden. The Chaos Demon Gods were originally born from the Great Dao, yet they have turned against it, acting against virtue, indulging in slaughter, and sinking into delusion, unable to comprehend the ultimate Dao.

Now, by the revelation of the Great Dao, I shall set a limit of Three Great Kalpas to separate the pure from the turbid and create the cosmos. Let yin and yang interact, let the Four Symbols circulate, let all beings follow Qi to be born, and help the Great Dao achieve perfection and harmony."

As soon as the words fell, a mysterious and grand Sound of the Great Dao came from the void:

"Pangu is born, the Demon Gods perish; Pangu falls, the opportunity to attain the Dao appears!"

As the sound gradually faded, the Eye of the Great Dao slowly disappeared.

At that moment, all the Chaos Demon Gods in the chaos clearly felt a thin but resilient thread-like connection appear on themselves.

The source of that thread was Pangu.

This thread seemed to possess an invisible pulling force. No matter how they resisted, they could not break free. They could only follow the thread's pull and involuntarily rush toward Pangu's location.

They understood in their hearts that now there was only one battle.

In this battle, either Pangu would fall, or the Chaos Demon Gods would be completely wiped out. Between the two sides, only one was destined to survive.

"Pangu, since you're asking for death, I'll grant it! After you fall, I will surely achieve the Great Dao!"

"The Great Dao of Strength? Let's see whose Dao is superior—yours or mine!"

"Pangu, you dare to try to break the chaos and recreate the world—how utterly overconfident!"

The Chaos Demon Gods knew in their hearts that if Pangu succeeded in creating the world, the Chaos World would enter a new stage of evolution, and the old chaos would be replaced by a new world.

And they, the Chaos Demon Gods, would lose the protection of the Great Dao, becoming thorns in the side of the new world, destined to suffer merciless strikes.

No matter the reason, at this moment, all the Chaos Demon Gods were rushing toward Pangu's location at top speed.

Between them and Pangu, this was a struggle for the Great Dao—only when one side completely fell could it end.

At this moment, Xuanxiao looked at the faint thread connecting him and Pangu.

He couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile: "The Great Dao is really afraid that Pangu might miss even one or two Chaos Demon Gods. It personally connected all of us to Pangu. Now none of us can escape."

"Xuanxiao, you still have a choice now. If you stay here, you will face the siege of all the Chaos Demon Gods.

But if you choose to leave, you only need to leave behind your Chaos Demon God body. I can guarantee that your true spirit will be reborn intact into the world I create." Pangu looked at Xuanxiao with sincere eyes and spoke seriously.

He understood in his heart that the Chaos Demon God bodies were prepared by the Great Dao for the new world.

Even if he was willing, the Great Dao would never allow it.

Only when all the Chaos Demon Gods merged into the world could chaos enter the next stage of evolution.

Therefore, for Xuanxiao to preserve himself, abandoning his identity as a Chaos Demon God was almost an inevitable choice.

However, after giving up his Chaos Demon God identity, Xuanxiao could retain his true spirit. With Pangu's help, restoring his cultivation and strength in the Primordial World later would not be difficult. This was indeed the best and most advantageous choice for Xuanxiao.

Yet, upon hearing Pangu's suggestion, Xuanxiao smiled and shook his head without hesitation: "Big Brother, I'm not the type to play the deserter. And to be honest, I've long been craving a good, hearty fight with those fellows. Please don't take away this rare opportunity from me."

Hearing Xuanxiao's words, Pangu gazed at him silently, pondering for a long time. In the end, he nodded heavily, his eyes brimming with admiration: "Good! Then after the Three Great Kalpas, we brothers will show those Chaos Demon Gods just what we're made of!"

After that, neither spoke again. They stood quietly in the chaos, calmly awaiting the arrival of the Chaos Demon Gods.
