Within Chaos, there was no distinction between yin and yang. Countless Chaos Gales raged, seeking to tear everything they touched into shreds.
Deep within the dim and lightless Chaos, there sat a 108-rank Creation Green Lotus, born from the origin of Chaos itself.
At this moment, a burly man sat atop the Creation Green Lotus, scrutinizing the seven lotus seeds nurtured by it.
"Only one of the seven seeds has matured, but my time is running out. I fear I cannot wait for the other six to ripen."
"So be it. Since everything is fated, there is no use in forcing it. It is time for me to perform the act of opening the heavens."
As he sighed, the man reached into the void. A giant axe appeared in his hand.
Just as he was about to swing the axe, the only mature lotus seed actually spoke in a human voice.
"That hurt like hell. If I ever hang out with you guys again, I'll be your foster father."
Hearing the voice beside him, the man stopped his movements and turned his gaze toward the lotus seed.
"You have actually developed sentience?"
"It is a pity that it is too late. Had you been born a few tens of thousands of eons earlier, I, Pangu, could have helped you take human form."
"Now that my mission has arrived, if I, Pangu, am fortunate enough to survive after opening the heavens, I will help you then."
Following this, the man who called himself Pangu swung his giant axe outward.
He says he is Pangu? Damn, did this guy drink even more than I did?
As it turned out, this mature lotus seed had not developed sentience on its own; rather, Chen Xuan, a transmigrator from the future, had been parasitic within it.
But before Chen Xuan could figure out what was going on, he was stunned by a powerful pressure, and then there was nothing.
He did not know how much time had passed before Chen Xuan finally woke up. At the same time, an image appeared in his mind.
[A burly man, holding a giant axe, splits the Chaos.] [Countless Chaos Gods and Demons fall beneath the Pangu Axe.] [Pangu uses his body to hold up the heavens and the earth.] [...]
With the appearance of these images, Chen Xuan finally understood one thing: he had transmigrated.
Moreover, he had become the only mature lotus seed nurtured within the Creation Green Lotus.
As a veteran enthusiast of the Primordial World, Chen Xuan naturally knew what the future fate of this lotus seed would be.
"Damn, does that mean I am the Thirty-Six-Rank Fortune Green Lotus? Because I am not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, I end up becoming the tool for enlightenment in the hands of the Three Pure Ones?"
This sentence was blurted out by Chen Xuan, but he did not expect it to startle Pangu, who was already at the end of his strength.
Pangu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon the lotus seed he had been protecting against his chest.
"Little one, you have finally awakened. It is a pity that I can no longer help you, for my, Pangu's, time is at an end."
As soon as Pangu finished speaking, his massive body collapsed with a thunderous crash. Then, he began to evolve the entire Primordial World.
Pangu's breath turned into wind and clouds, his voice into thunder, his left eye into the sun, his right eye into the moon, and his limbs and body into the four poles and five sacred mountains...
Although Chen Xuan had seen this scene more than once in movies and novels from his past life, seeing it with his own eyes was an indescribable shock.
Just as Chen Xuan was overwhelmed with shock, Pangu's voice echoed in his ears once more.
"You and I were both born from the Creation Green Lotus; by rights, you should call me elder brother. I hope that in the future, you can protect this world that your elder brother has created."
Chen Xuan struggled to calm the excitement in his heart. "Don't worry, Big Brother. Your little brother will not let anyone destroy the Primordial World."
Having received Chen Xuan's assurance, Pangu's final obsession vanished.
However, before his obsession disappeared, Pangu bestowed a generous gift upon Chen Xuan.
He channeled all the Mysterious Yellow Qi generated by the opening of the heavens into Chen Xuan's lotus seed body.
The massive influx of Mysterious Yellow Qi made Chen Xuan feel incredibly exhausted.
Just before falling into a deep sleep, Chen Xuan vaguely saw Pangu's Heaven, Earth, and Human Souls flying off into the distance...
"It seems those are the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Sorcerers. By that logic, you are also my big brother's child..."
Before he could finish the last word, Chen Xuan fell into a deep slumber once again.
Time in the Primordial World is not recorded, and in the blink of an eye, countless eons passed. The once-silent Primordial World became lively.
The first batch of living beings to appear in the Primordial World were the Three Clans of Dragons, Phoenixes, and Qilins, born from the origin of the Primordial World.
Originally, the three clans were very harmonious, with the Dragon Clan governing the waters, the Phoenix Clan governing the skies, and the Qilin Clan governing the earth.
It was a pity that this harmonious atmosphere did not last long before it was shattered by the surviving Chaos Gods and Demons.
All of this seemed to have nothing to do with Chen Xuan, as he was still in a deep sleep, unaware even that he had taken root and sprouted.
It was not until one day that the conversation of a few people awakened Chen Xuan.
"Big Brother, judging by the aura alone, this should be a supreme innate treasure."
"Second Brother is right, this is indeed a supreme innate treasure. Once this lotus blooms, we can move to refine it."
"Eldest brother, second brother, why do I feel like this lotus has already gained sentience? Do we really have to wipe it out?"
"Tongtian, what nonsense are you spouting? The Primordial World has always been a place where the weak are prey to the strong. If you want to blame someone, blame its lack of fortune; it is destined to be nothing more than a spiritual treasure in someone else's hands."
"Besides, we, the Three Pure Ones, are the authentic descendants of Pangu. Being able to follow us is a sign of its own profound good fortune."
The voices of the three conversing drifted clearly into the ears of Chen Xuan.
Tongtian? The Three Pure Ones? It seems these three are the Three Pure Ones formed from the three souls of brother Pangu.
Wait, the Three Pure Ones are here. Doesn't that mean I am about to perish under the heavenly thunder, only to be dismembered by the three of them?
At this moment, Chen Xuan instantly felt a massive sense of crisis descending upon him out of thin air.
What should I do?
How can I deal with this certain-death situation?
Wait, brother Pangu seemed to have given the Mysterious Yellow Qi to me.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan began to mobilize the Mysterious Yellow Qi. However, he suddenly discovered that there was not even a trace of the Mysterious Yellow Qi left to be found.
Just as Chen Xuan was burning with anxiety, he unexpectedly felt a small pagoda and a ruler sleeping within his flower bud.
This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan feel a surge of joy, That's right, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Qi should have transformed into the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Grand Primordial Measuring Ruler.
Following this, Chen Xuan prepared to refine these two treasures of merit. After all, these were the only trump cards he could use to save his life.
As his divine sense probed toward the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Grand Primordial Measuring Ruler, Chen Xuan discovered that there was no need to refine them at all.
Chen Xuan could even clearly feel that these two treasures of merit were extremely joyful at his approach, showing no rejection whatsoever.
It seems these are what they call companion spiritual treasures. I just don't know if having them will help me survive this deadly tribulation.
Just then, Chen Xuan felt waves of immense power of creation beginning to surge continuously into his main body.
At the same time, the previously clear sky was instantly shrouded by dark clouds. Within the clouds, lightning danced like dragons and snakes, gathering a powerful force of destruction.
This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan sigh, "It seems I am about to bloom."
