Before Chaos was divided, Heaven and Earth lay in turmoil; vast and boundless, unseen by any.
Since Pangu split the primordial void, he opened the world, and from then on, the clear and turbid were distinguished.
Primordial Chaos...
In ancient myths and legends, in that distant primordial age, it was said that before Great God Pangu prepared to create Heaven and Earth, the world was nothing but a mass of chaotic vital energy. This natural energy was called the primordial chaos, also known as Chaos. For this reason, people often called that era the Age of Primordial Chaos!
However, after Great God Pangu created Heaven and Earth, the primordial chaos did not vanish completely. Instead, outside the world, it formed a space filled with turbulent vital energy, a harsh environment, and utter disorder. That place was Chaos!
The chaotic space beyond the thirty-third heaven was the final barrier between the Primordial Great World and Chaos. It was also the clearest dividing line between the new world created after Great God Pangu opened Heaven and Earth and the original space of primordial Chaos. The Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Great Dao Sage of this world, had established his Daoist sanctuary, the Zixiao Palace, in this place—a place no mortal or cultivator of low attainment could ever reach.
Old Ancestor Hongjun was also called Daoist Hongjun, or simply Hongjun.
His main duty was to manage and protect the world opened by Great God Pangu, preventing the baleful energy, ferocious beasts, demon gods, ancient fiends, and other evil entities from beyond the heavens from invading the Primordial Great World through the thirty-third heaven!
Of course, he was also responsible for preventing the immortals and gods of the Primordial World from breaking through and entering Chaos, lest they bring unnecessary trouble upon the world.
