As the Great Dao, One Should Treat All Equally

Hongjun's will swept across the Chaos Void, finally picking a crooked-neck tree at random.

This was no Void Ancient Tree, nor was it a Hollow Willow.

It was merely an Innate Spiritual Root.

But why did Hongjun pick this tree?

Because... trees were truly scarce in the Chaos.

Hongjun found a Compendium of Primordial Rare Treasures in Pangu's consciousness.

It had been compiled by the various Primordial World webnovel authors of that world.

It recorded the various Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots of the Primordial World.

It stated that the so-called Innate Spiritual Roots were not the end of Spiritual Roots. Postnatal Returns to Innate, Innate Returns to Chaos, Chaos Returns to Primordial Chaos.

Primordial Chaos shattered, so none of these existed.

But the Chaos still existed!

It recorded that there were still many powerful Spiritual Roots in the Chaos that were on par with, or even stronger than, the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots.

The strongest among them was the Star Dou Tree, transformed from the Great God Tai Gu Zi Wei Xing, Gu Ning.

Legend had it that the Tai Gu Zi Wei Xing transformed into a man named Gu Ning.

When Primordial Chaos finally shattered, this great god passed away and transformed into the Star Dou Tree.

And the Star Dou Tree was right here in the Chaos!

(Does seeing this name break your immersion?)

The fruits of the Star Dou Tree secretly corresponded to the Zhou Tian Star Dou. Its fruits contained immense Star Power, and a single fruit could allow one to reach the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

It could also forge the Star Body!

The Star Body also secretly corresponded to the Zhou Tian Star Dou, and came with the innate Spiritual Power of the Minor Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

Hongjun merely smiled at this.

Things like this, let alone that he didn't have them, novels wouldn't even dare to write them like this.

One fruit could make you reach the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, more incredible than the Huang Zhong Plum. How could such a thing possibly exist?

And this outrageous Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

Are you sure Tai Yi and Di Jun wouldn't jump up and beat you later?

This was infringement, alright.

The novels of the Primordial World stabbed each other in the back with their settings, and yet these authors actually banded together to write a Compendium of Rare Treasures. You're something else!

Hongjun made a few minor adjustments to this Ancient Star Tree.

The next moment, an ordinary, grayish, crooked-neck tree became the "immortal tree" Star Dou Tree, surrounded by purple energy.

Then, he placed the Chaos Demon Ape, who was resting, onto the tree.

Finally, the entire tree was sent near Pangu, waiting to be discovered by him.

"Hahahaha! Star Dou Tree!"

Pangu, who was traveling through the Chaos, suddenly saw a giant tree shrouded in purple energy in the distance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He even felt like jumping up and shouting "O-yeah."

To complete his plan, Pangu had to find a Spiritual Root with a strong foundation to possess.

Ultimately, he would use Pangu's body to create heaven and earth, and he himself could then escape into the Primordial World.

Now, it was truly a case of dropping a pillow when you're sleepy. A Spiritual Root with a powerful foundation had been delivered right to his doorstep.

This had directly solved a major problem for him.

As for why the Star Dou Tree suddenly appeared?

He was the protagonist of the Chaos!

He was someone who stood at the mountaintop from birth. Everything going his way was his privilege. The entire world existed to welcome his arrival!

He wanted the Chaos Bead, he wanted the Star Dou Tree. These were all his, all his.

Hongjun: "..."

After reading Pangu's thoughts, Hongjun suddenly felt that traversers didn't need to be schemed against. No, he wasn't scheming against him in the first place... With this IQ, why did he even transmigrate?

Hongjun shook his head and decided to ignore this Pangu. No matter what he did, he just needed to create heaven and earth as usual.

As the Great Dao, he had to treat everyone equally, even if he was a traverser.

Of course, the premise was that if he was given the opportunity, he should make good use of it. If, without any intervention from Hongjun, he was given a lot of help, and still managed to mess himself up, then no one could be blamed.

The world only knew how powerful the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots were. They were simply ignorant!

The Star Dou Tree existed here.

Compared to the Star Dou Tree, the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots weren't even worthy of carrying its shoes!

On a comprehensive catalog of rare treasures he had seen, it was recorded that the Star Dou Tree was the creation of the Zhou Tian Star Dou, the essence of the Heavens and Stars!

"Heh! With this spiritual root, the Great Dao will be powerless against me! When I, Pangu, achieve my Dao, I will definitely shatter this heaven! Stomp this earth! So that the world can no longer blind my eyes! And let this hypocritical and unjust Great Dao vanish into thin air!"

Pangu scoffed disdainfully.

Hongjun: "..."

Hearing Pangu's profound disdain.

Hongjun felt speechless. The Great Dao hadn't done anything. He hadn't plotted against Pangu, nor had he arranged for anyone to snatch his opportunities.

Instead, he had provided Pangu with so much help.

Was this a case of eating and drinking from the elder brother, then cursing him once full?

Why were you so hostile towards me? Have you read too many novels?

Hongjun was utterly exasperated.

Nevertheless, the process had to be followed. There were still eight thousand years until Pangu's creation of the heavens.

Pangu walked up to the Star Dou Tree. Just as he was about to reach out and take it, he felt a drop of liquid on his body.

Pangu, who had been excited moments before, was suddenly annoyed. He wondered what had disturbed his elegant mood.

Pangu looked up and saw a black monkey, seemingly fast asleep.

"Hey, you monkey! Get down here at once!"

A surge of anger welled up in Pangu. He punched the Star Dou Tree, causing its trunk to shake violently.

The liquid that had dripped on him was none other than the saliva of the Chaos Demon Ape, who was sleeping soundly.

"Hmph! Who dares to call himself 'this venerable one'?"

The Chaos Demon Ape, awakened by the disturbance, was furious, scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Hmph! This venerable one is Pangu. If you know what's good for you, apologize at once!"

If this were the original Pangu, he might have said something like this. But a transmigrated Pangu, one who considered himself invincible except for the Great Dao, saying such a thing, can you believe it?

In reality, the main reason was that Pangu had realized something was amiss.

He feared getting entangled in karma with the Chaos Demon Gods and thus being discovered by the Great Dao.

Pangu wasn't entirely devoid of intelligence. There were very few beings in the Chaos, and the only ones capable of speech were likely the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

And a talking monkey, Pangu could easily guess that this monkey before him was the Chaos Demon Ape.

"You're Pangu? Pangu's name won't work! Let's have a fight!"

The Chaos Demon Ape was slightly taken aback, but since things had come to this, he couldn't back down.

Although Pangu only asked for an apology, who was he? The Chaos Demon Ape!

A peak existence of the Law of Battle. If he didn't fight Pangu, it was highly likely he wouldn't be able to advance further in the future.

He still wanted to achieve Dao.

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you, then die!"

Since the Chaos Demon Ape was being so uncooperative, Pangu decided not to offer him any more face.

After all, the best way to resolve karma was to kill the person who owed it.

If the person is dead, will there still be karma?

"Hmph!"

The Chaos Demon Ape let out a loud roar and leaped from the Star Dou Tree.

In mid-air, he transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall Demon Ape!

The Demon Ape was as black as charcoal, with lava-like cracks on its body. Its blood-red eyes stared coldly at Pangu.
