Invite Pangu

Countless great powers looked toward Chu Yan, stunned by the strange scene unfolding before them.

How could Chu Yan, who had feared nothing until now, suddenly be kneeling?

Hongjun was stunned as well. Had Chu Yan finally come to his senses?

But in the next instant, Hongjun felt his heart race as a foreboding sensation swept over him.

"Great God Pangu, you opened the heavens and created this brilliant Primordial World, for which countless living beings are eternally grateful. Now the Human Race is in danger. We beg you to come to our aid and protect us from oppression. I, Chu Yan, the foremost member of the Primordial Human Race, have received your blessings, Great God Pangu. I hereby swear that the Human Race will repay you a hundredfold one day."

His words sent shockwaves through the countless great powers of the Primordial World.

"Holy crap, he's actually calling upon Great God Pangu?"

Hongjun's heart began pounding in alarm.

Chu Yan was bowing toward Buzhou Mountain.

"We beg you, Great God Pangu, save the Human Race! The Human Race will never forget your great kindness, not for all eternity!"

Chu Yan had played his trump card. This was his last one.

If he still couldn't win the Human Race a thread of life, then Chu Yan was willing to die.

Rumble...

Suddenly, thunder boomed.

Countless living beings changed expression.

"How is this possible? Chu Yan is actually bowing to Great God Pangu?"

Countless living beings were completely dumbfounded.

In the Ancestor Witch Divine Hall, the Twelve Ancestor Witches sprang to their feet and looked toward Buzhou Mountain.

Rumble...

Buzz—

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

On Buzhou Mountain, waves of dreadful energy began to ripple outward.

"Th-this is impossible! Did Chu Yan really summon Great God Pangu?"

"How could this happen? Was this Chu Yan's hidden trump card? Why would Great God Pangu help the Human Race?"

The countless great powers of the Primordial World were crushed to the ground by the terrifying pressure, unable to move.

Taiqing, Yuanshi, and the others all glared angrily at Nuwa, as if to say, "Look at the Human Race you created. Satisfied now?"

The Twelve Ancestor Witches were stunned too.

"Father God! It really is Father God's aura. The Human Race actually managed to summon Father God!"

"In that case, our Witch Race must help the Human Race."

"Exactly."

Buzz—

The aura of Pangu erupted completely from Buzhou Mountain.

In an instant, it swept across the entire Primordial World.

The terrifying Power Law erupted in that same moment.

Pfft—

Hongjun spat blood and dropped to his knees.

Tongtian, Yuanshi, Taiqing, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti had already been crushed to the ground, unable to get back up.

"P-pay... my respects to Great God Pangu."

Hongjun's face was stricken with terror. In an instant, his mind filled with visions of Pangu slaughtering his way through Chaos.

A deep, indelible fear erupted from within him.

"Paying our respects to Father God."

The Three Pure Ones were also overcome with emotion, especially Tongtian, who felt deeply regretful.

They could sense the anger in Pangu's aura.

Deep in Chaos, the surviving Chaos Demon Gods jolted awake, their eyes filled with terror.

"Impossible! That's Pangu's aura! Wasn't he already dead?"

Pfft—

They spat blood. The wounds these Chaos Demon Gods had only just managed to heal split open once more.

Crackle, crackle...

Boom—

In an instant, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment shattered.

"Not good—"

Hongjun's expression changed drastically.

The Jade Plate of Creation instantly blazed with terrifying light.

"Pangu, you have already fallen. Why are you still interfering with the Primordial World?"

He roared, but Pangu's terrifying will was the only response.

"Pfft—"

Hongjun spat blood.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment had been struck with a crack, and a drop of golden blood trickled out.

Pangu's will enveloped the entire sky.

Faintly, a towering giant could be seen taking shape above Buzhou Mountain.

Its two eyes transformed into twin beams of light that swept across the sky, heading straight for Chu Yan.

The phantom raised the axe in his hand, intending to sever the Human Race's ties of Karma.

"Not good! Why aren't you all joining forces to suppress Pangu? Otherwise, you'll all die and be wiped from existence!"

With a roar, Hongjun instantly transformed into his true form.

His terrifying Chaos Demon God Body unleashed immense power.

His shout rang all the way into Chaos.

The Chaos Demon Gods, including Willow, heard him loud and clear.

Rumble—

Deep in Chaos, a colossal willow tree revealed its true form, its countless branches reaching across the heavens.

Many Demon Gods had survived from the ancient days of Chaos. Apart from the two Hongjun had tricked during his battle with Demon Ancestor Luohu, others still remained alive.

And now, they had no choice but to intervene again.

"Fellow Daoist Pangu, since you have fallen, why continue struggling?"

"Fellow Daoist Pangu, Chaos has already been destroyed. Why are you still so stubborn?"

In an instant, several Chaos Demon Gods descended upon the Primordial World.

Hongjun held the Jade Plate of Creation in his hands, unleashing its boundless power.

"Roar—"

On Buzhou Mountain, the phantom of a colossal man threw back his head and roared. The entire Primordial World began to tremble.

Rumble...

Hongjun's manifested Chaos Demon God form joined forces with several other Chaos Demon Gods to face Pangu.

Yet they suffered a setback after only one clash.

"Damn it! Pangu has already fallen, yet he's still this powerful! Fellow Daoists, stop holding back. Suppress Pangu, or the Primordial World will be destroyed, and none of you will survive!"

This was now a battle between the Chaos Demon Gods.

The Heavenly Dao could no longer intervene in a conflict of such terrifying scale.

The battle rapidly escalated, and the Primordial World seemed on the verge of collapse.

Hongjun hurriedly flung the Jade Plate of Creation into the air to shield the Primordial World.

At the same time, a terrifying willow tree appeared in the sky, its size surpassing that of the Primordial World.

The other Demon Gods also revealed their true forms, seeking to suppress Pangu's will.

Seeing this, Chu Yan's eyes lit up. His chance had come.

Chu Yan immediately turned around and shouted to the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans behind him:

"I, Chu Yan, the foremost member of the Primordial Human Race, hereby proclaim to all the living beings of the Primordial World: Today, I will sever the Human Race's ties to Nuwa. I will shoulder the entire burden of the Human Race. The Human Race..."

Crackle, crackle...

Suddenly, a bolt of Purple Firmament Divine Thunder struck him, making Chu Yan spit blood.

Hongjun had made his move.

At the same time, Hongjun roared:

"The Heavenly Dao is absent, and Heaven's Might is gone. Pangu is being held back by us, and the Human Race has no protection. If you don't kill Chu Yan now, when will you?"

His voice rolled like thunder, echoing through the minds of all the disciples.

"Chu Yan, your life is mine—"

Nuwa was the first to erupt into action. Chu Yan had ruined her chance to become a saint; this was a deep grudge.

Nuwa struck first, heading straight for Chu Yan.

"Not good! Damn it, I forgot about her."

Chu Yan's expression changed drastically.

He had thought that summoning Pangu would leave him free of worry, but it seemed he had still overlooked something.

After all, Pangu was only a will, while Hongjun and the others were still alive.

What was he supposed to do now? Could the fate of the Primordial Human Race really not be changed?

Nuwa's attack was already crashing down.

"Damn it, I'll fight!"

With a thought, Chu Yan instantly gathered the fortune and will of the One Hundred Thousand Innate Humans, manifesting the phantom of a towering giant.

"Come and fight—"
