World Creation

With his current strength, creating the world wouldn't be difficult. Besides, he wanted to create it.

After all, in his previous life he'd been a young man, only in his twenties when he died. The Chaos was just a vast emptiness—how boring was that?

He'd been impatient for a long time. The moment his new body had taken shape, he'd rushed out to create the world.

Once he opened the heavens and entered the Primordial World, wouldn't he be free to soar as high as the sky and swim as far as the sea?

The magnificent Primordial World! Goddesses like Nuwa, Houtu, Xihe, and Yuanfeng!

I, Pangu, have arrived!

Thinking of the anxious aura of the Great Dao just now, Pangu couldn't help finding it amusing. He'd vanished for so long by relying on the Chaos Bead—he must have driven the Great Dao frantic!

Once he reached the Primordial World and grew stronger, he'd split you in two with one axe!

Pangu was quite confident that he'd be able to grow stronger in the future.

After all, he'd read so many novels, and not a single transmigrator protagonist had lacked opportunities or found breakthroughs difficult.

Once he reached the Primordial World, he'd kick the Three Pure Ones, punch the Eastern Emperor, hold Nuwa in his left arm, and embrace Xihe with his right!

Before he'd even started creating the world, Pangu was already imagining his wonderful future.

He shook his head, clearing those thoughts away. Creating the world was the most urgent matter now!

He gave a disdainful laugh, stood atop the Chaos Green Lotus, and wore the Jade Disk of Creation above his head. Releasing billions of strands of Aura of Strength, he gripped the Sky-Opening Axe and roared at the heavens:

"I am Pangu! Today, I shall cleave the Chaos with my strength, open the heavens, and attain the Great Dao!"

All Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods sensed that Pangu was about to attain the Great Dao. After all, he'd shouted it out loud.

Looking across the endless Chaos, they saw a giant wielding a massive axe, bringing it down hard upon the Chaos.

Rumble! Rumble!

A succession of deafening booms resounded throughout the Chaos, like the Chaos itself was wailing.

The entire Chaos trembled.

It was a scene akin to the end of the world.

Flames surged, waters roared, and Star Stones as enormous as worlds rained down.

Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind were being reforged!

In the blink of an eye, crack after crack appeared in the Chaos.

But they healed again almost instantly. Vast swathes of Chaos reformed, the Star River burned to ashes, and the void collapsed...

"Something's not right. Why does this look like the Chaos is being reforged?"

Pangu scratched his head. No matter how he looked at it, this scene seemed wrong.

Hongjun slapped his forehead. As expected, this guy was an idiot!

Using the laws to create the world was right, but why was he cleaving forward?

Wasn't cleaving forward just an attack on the Chaos?

Although the Chaos had no directions,

there was still a basic sense of orientation.

For instance, the ground was beneath one's feet and the sky was overhead. Hadn't Pangu cleaved horizontally in the primary school textbooks?

"Heavenly Dao, send him a message and tell him how to create the world."

In the end, Hongjun had no choice but to give the order.

"Yes, Great Dao."

"Cleave horizontally?"

The Heavenly Dao's message echoed in Pangu's mind.

But he wasn't embarrassed in the least. As long as he wasn't embarrassed, other people would be.

"Hmph! How could I not know that? I was only testing the feel of the axe."

As Pangu muttered, his hands didn't stop moving.

Boom!

A tremendous crash shook the Chaos once more.

With one strike, the Chaos split into clear and murky energies. The clear energy rose, and the murky energy sank.

Yet the very next second, they immediately closed together again.

"Open for me!"

Pangu roared. The veins in his arms bulged as he swung the giant axe again and again. Each strike opened a vast rift in the void and shook the Chaos.

But although his blows were powerful enough, the rifts quickly closed. If he kept this up, he might exhaust himself to death before he managed to open the heavens.

"This won't do!"

Pangu furrowed his brow. If things continued like this, wouldn't he just be wasting his effort?

Pangu's body grew even larger, and the giant axe in his hands grew with it. He swung again and again at the rifts that were about to close.

Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!

After swinging the axe almost a hundred times in a row, the rift before him grew enormous, and the division between clear and murky energies became clearly visible.

"Open for me!"

For his final strike, Pangu used all his strength.

The number ninety-nine! Nine was the ultimate number.

Nine times nine was the ultimate divine ability!

With this strike, vast amounts of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind appeared in the Chaos, and the chaotic space became turbulent.

This was the sign that the world was about to take shape!

"Great Dao, Pangu is about to succeed in attaining the Dao. I humbly ask for your guidance."

By now, the Chaos Heavenly Dao was panicking. If Pangu succeeded in creating the world, it would die!

Even if it somehow escaped this calamity, its death would only be a matter of time. Pangu would kill it sooner or later.

It wanted to survive, so it placed all its hopes in the Great Dao.

Hongjun: "..."

"Don't worry. He won't attain the Great Dao."

Hongjun merely shook his head and smiled.

He was confident that Pangu couldn't attain the Dao. Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

Why?

Because anyone capable of attaining the Great Dao was the Great Dao itself.

Hongjun had been the Great Dao since birth, so no matter what he did, he was the Great Dao.

Could Pangu attain the Dao here?

Yes, if one insisted on calling it that, it would be a False Great Dao.

Not the true Great Dao.

There was only one true Great Dao, and that was Hongjun.

As far as the Great Dao was concerned, all living beings were equal. It shouldn't obstruct Pangu from creating the world; it could only let things unfold as they would.

Besides, it would suffer no harm from it.

"Opportunity and calamity coexist. The Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods came into being in response to fate, and they were also born to face this calamity."

Hongjun replied to the Heavenly Dao.

"Yes, I understand!"

The Chaos Heavenly Dao responded, and in the next moment, all the Chaos Demon Gods understood.

Once Pangu created the world, a new Heavenly Dao would come into being. As for them, the Chaos Demon Gods, they could only cling to life—or they might even...

At that moment, every Chaos Demon God understood.

If they let Pangu create the world, it would be the same as committing suicide!

So...

They could also seize the merit from Pangu's creation of the world!

They didn't know what merit was, but that didn't stop them from taking it.

Whatever it was, it sounded like something good.

Just hearing those two words gave every Chaos Demon God the same thought.

Take it! This thing is extremely useful! It can help us break through our current limits!

"Damn it! The Great Dao really is as despicable and shameless as ever!"

Pangu, who had received the same message, paled and cursed under his breath.

In that instant, every living being in the Chaos received the message.

Once Pangu created the world, they'd have nowhere left to stand.

And even if he succeeded, they could still plunder his merit.

The message had also reached the body of his Star Dou Tree!

That's right—the body stored inside the Chaos Bead.

Although he didn't know how the Great Dao had discovered it, that didn't stop Pangu from cursing the Great Dao for its shamelessness.

When the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods learned of this, they went mad on the spot.

All Three Thousand Demon Gods surged toward the place where Pangu was creating the world, intent on crossing swords with him.

Pangu figured the Great Dao must have seen that he was about to succeed and had finally lost its nerve!
