Pangu's World-Opening, Transmigrating into Zhenyuanzi

Before the Primordial was divided and the Chaos had yet to be judged, the universe was like a single, undifferentiated egg, filled with violent and chaotic Chaos Energy Streams.

Gray, hazy mist permeated the endless expanse, silent and still, devoid of light or darkness, with only eternal deathly stillness shrouding everything.

Time in Chaos is not measured by years; who knows how many Yuanhui flowed by, or perhaps even longer stretches of time passed quietly away.

Suddenly, one day, tiny sparks of spiritual light burst forth from the endless Chaos, and strands of Chaos Origin were birthed from the void, hungrily devouring the surrounding Chaos Energy Streams.

Each origin transformed into a massive vortex, frantically absorbing everything in its vicinity and stirring up waves within the boundless Chaos.

After an unknown amount of time, these origins finally ceased their consumption, as if they had reached some sort of limit.

In an instant, the entire Chaos shook violently—

Rumble!!!

Deafening, world-shaking noises erupted throughout the Chaos, and the boundless Chaos Energy Streams surged like a raging, tempestuous sea.

Massive figures stepped forth from the origins, each ten thousand zhang tall and varied in form: some had dragon heads and human bodies, some had three heads and six arms, some sprouted wings from their backs, and others were wreathed in lightning.

The moment these Chaos Demon Gods were born, they emitted the terrifying aura of Golden Immortals of the Origin, causing the surrounding Chaos Energy Streams to tremble.

From then on, the Chaos was no longer peaceful.

Over countless Yuanhui, the Demon Gods waged world-shaking wars across the Chaos to seize each other's origins and comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao.

As their divine abilities collided, the Chaos shattered and reformed; countless weaker Demon Gods perished in this brutal slaughter, their origins devoured by the victors to forge even more powerful existences.

As time turned, after an unknown number of billions of Yuanhui, the original billions of Demon Gods were reduced to a mere three thousand.

Each of these surviving Chaos Demon Gods, having devoured the origins of countless peers, had long since broken through to the realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Origin. They stood firm in the boundless Chaos, their bodies radiating a terrifying pressure that made others tremble.

As the saying goes: Time is supreme, Space is paramount, Fate is the Emperor, and Karma is the King.

Among these three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, the four most powerful were the Time Demon God—Shi Chen, the Space Demon God—Yang Mei, the Fate Demon God—Ming Lu, and the Karma Demon God—Yin Tuo.

These four Chaos Demon Gods all possessed the cultivation of Primordial Chaos Limitless Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

Once the number of Chaos Demon Gods reached three thousand, the wars ceased, and the Chaos returned to its former tranquility.

Time in Chaos is not measured by years, and who knows how many more Yuanhui passed.

In a certain part of the Chaos, a Thirty-Six Petal Chaos Green Lotus bloomed, and upon its lotus platform sat an egg, surrounded by countless profound Great Dao Runes.

The Great Dao Runes upon that giant egg suddenly shone to their limit, then shattered with a boom, transforming into a torrent of the most primordial Dao rhymes.

The eggshell cracked inch by inch amidst a dazzling divine light, and endless Chaos Qi was frantically swallowed by an invisible force.

The next moment, a figure whose magnificence defied description stood up suddenly from the shattered eggshell. His body expanded wildly, his head touching the Chaos, his feet stepping on Youhuan.

His muscles were knotted, as if containing the supreme power to prop up the Primordial. With every breath he took, the entire Chaos Sea surged and churned!

Pangu had been born!

He was the last Demon God nurtured by the Great Dao, in charge of the Great Dao of Strength, and the strongest Chaos Demon God of all.

After his birth, the saying that Time is supreme, Space is paramount, Fate is the Emperor, and Karma is the King ceased to exist; only Strength was supreme.

After Pangu was born, he sat upon the Thirty-Six Petal Chaos Lotus Platform and began to comprehend the Great Dao using the Jade Plate of Creation at his side.

Time in Chaos is not measured by years, and after an unknown number of Yuanhui, Pangu awoke from his meditation.

He had gained a simple understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos on the Jade Plate of Creation, but feeling that his own Great Dao of Strength was their master outline, he ceased his study.

Seeing that the Chaos remained unchanged, Pangu picked up the axe at his side and struck out toward the Chaos.

Pangu, already at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, shook the entire Chaos with a single swing of his axe.

The three thousand Demon Gods, whether meditating or traveling, were startled by Pangu's axe.

The Demon Gods knew clearly that if Pangu succeeded in opening the heavens and attained the realm of the Great Dao, the Great Dao would then retreat, and their own chances of attaining it would become infinitesimal.

The hatred of obstructing one's Dao is one that cannot coexist; all the Demon Gods came to stop Pangu from opening the heavens.

Leading them were the Time Demon God, the Space Demon God, the Fate Demon God, and the Karma Demon God.

Seeing the many Demon Gods arrive to stop him, Pangu ignored them and continued to open the New World. The Demon Gods were enraged and unleashed countless divine abilities upon him.

Within the Chaos, Pangu engaged in a world-shaking battle with the three thousand Demon Gods. This battle lasted for an unknown number of Yuanhui; the entire Chaos was beaten into fragments, with light flashing and thunderous roars never ceasing.

After several Yuanhui of war, Pangu and the Chaos Demon Gods were both left severely wounded. These Chaos Demon Gods either died or fled, and some even snuck into the New World that Pangu had opened.

Although Pangu's strength far exceeded that of the Demon Gods, he had to deal with his enemies while simultaneously dividing his focus to open the heavens, eventually suffering heavy injuries. The companion Thirty-Six Petal Chaos Green Lotus and the Jade Plate of Creation were both shattered.

"Zha!"

With a loud shout, Pangu swung his giant axe once more, expanding the New World several times over. Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water evolved within it.

Just then, the New World suddenly trembled and began to collapse inward. Pangu was furious and threw the Sky-Opening Axe into the air. The divine axe split into three, transforming into the three supreme treasures: the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell, which stabilized the Heaven and Earth Order.

Yet, the world continued to shrink. Pangu immediately transformed into a giant ten thousand zhang tall, propping up the sky with his hands and stepping on the earth with his feet, forcibly holding the world apart.

After an unknown amount of time, the world finally stopped collapsing, but Pangu had exhausted his last ounce of strength and fell with a crash. His body transformed into mountains, rivers, the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and from this, all things were born.

The Primordial World was reborn, and all things recovered.

Unknown Yuanhui after Pangu opened the heavens, the Chaos Qi within the Primordial World transformed into Innate Spiritual Qi.

After being nurtured by countless Yuanhui and the nourishment of the Innate Spiritual Qi, countless flying birds and beasts appeared in the Primordial World. They were the first creatures of the Primordial, each favored by Heaven, born with the cultivation of Golden Immortals.

In the Primordial World, there was a wonder upon the Western Continent: a vast expanse of Ten Thousand Mile Red Cloud drifting across the sky, beneath which lay Longevity Mountain.

Within this mountain resided the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy, accompanied by the Book of the Earth and the Innate Spiritual Root Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Among these, the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy had yet to develop sentience.

On this day, a voice suddenly emanated from within the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy.

Where is this? Who am I? What am I supposed to do?

The voice was filled with confusion and panic.

Zhao Qiankun was a "three-nothing" shut-in living in the 21st century—no car, no house, no wife—who had grown up in an orphanage and whose greatest hobby was reading novels.

One day, while crossing the street to save a little girl, he was struck by a Great Transport Truck and transmigrated here.

Suddenly, a sequence of memories appeared in Zhao Qiankun's mind; these were the inherited memories bestowed by the Great Dao upon sensing the birth of sentience within the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy.

Although Zhao Qiankun was an anomaly, the Great Dao is Just, and it still granted him these inherited memories.

Only then did Zhao Qiankun realize he had transmigrated into the Primordial World and become Zhenyuanzi, the future Ancestor of Earth Immortals.

Upon learning the situation, Zhao Qiankun immediately swore an oath to the Great Dao.

"From this moment on, there is no more Zhao Qiankun in the Primordial World. I am Zhenyuanzi; let the Great Dao bear witness."

After the oath was sworn, Zhenyuanzi felt a sense of relief as the Great Dao ceased its scrutiny of the anomaly.

From now on, even if the Heavenly Dao were to calculate Zhenyuanzi's origins, it would only perceive him as the Innate Essence of Earthen Energy of the Primordial World.
