Pangu's Will? The Primordial World's Future Leaked!

"Little fellow, you've only just grown a leaf and you're already so pleased with yourself. What are you showing off for? I've watched you for so long—how are you still this weak?"

The voice came far too suddenly, without any warning. Like a clap of thunder, it exploded directly within Li Changsheng's consciousness!

Li Changsheng froze instantly!

His previously relaxed mind shot up into his throat. His azure lotus body shuddered violently, the white mist surrounding him burst apart with a boom, and even the tri-colored lake beneath him rippled in layers!

Weak?

He was the Creation Green Lotus. After cultivating through endless ages, his strength had long surpassed that of ordinary innate beings born in the early Primordial World, yet someone had called him weak?

But before his anger could rise, it was completely crushed by an overwhelming fear!

What kind of secret place was this?

This small world had been formed by the aftermath of creation, completely isolated from the outside world. Even the Heavenly Dao found it difficult to peer inside. Over countless ages, there had been no trace of any living creature besides him—not even a flying insect or a wisp of baleful aura!

How could a voice suddenly appear?!

And this voice had echoed directly within his sea of consciousness. Silently and without the slightest energy fluctuation, the other party had so easily entered the depths of his mind!

How terrifyingly powerful did one have to be to accomplish that?

The Primordial World had only just been born. How could such a powerful being exist in heaven and earth?!

"Who?! Who's speaking?!"

Li Changsheng hurriedly mobilized all his divine sense, frantically searching every corner of the small world. His awareness was stretched to its limit, and even his voice trembled uncontrollably.

Yet no matter how he searched, the small world remained exactly the same.

Tri-colored divine light flowed, white mist drifted ethereally, and spiritual grass swayed across the ground. Apart from him, there was no aura of any other living being. It was utterly empty!

That voice was like a ghost that had appeared from nowhere—without form or trace, yet undeniably real!

"Little fellow, why are you panicking?"

The deep voice sounded again, carrying a faint smile and full of teasing. "I'm right here. I can't run away, nor can I harm you. Is there really any need to make such a fuss?"

"Who exactly are you? Hiding your head and showing your tail—what kind of ability is that?" Li Changsheng demanded, forcefully suppressing his fear.

He truly could not understand it. In the early Primordial World, aside from the Monstrous Beasts that were about to be born, who else could possess such capabilities?

Could it be an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?

No, that was impossible. The Heavenly Dao had only just taken shape; it could not possibly possess such intelligence!

"Hiding my head and showing my tail?"

The voice paused, as if finding the phrase novel. Then it slowly spoke, its tone carrying a trace of melancholy. "In my current state, I would like to reveal myself. Unfortunately, I cannot."

"As for who I am..."

"Hadn't you already guessed part of it in your heart just now?"

Li Changsheng's heart jolted violently!

The other party could peer into his thoughts!

In his panic, countless great powers from the early Primordial World had flashed through his mind. Yet there was only one absurd answer that matched such strength and could still remain in the world!

That answer chilled him to the bone. His consciousness stiffened, and even his breathing stopped!

"Y-you are..."

Li Changsheng's voice shook beyond recognition. His teeth chattered, and every word came with immense difficulty. "Great God Pangu?"

The moment he spoke that name, Li Changsheng had even prepared himself to be erased on the spot!

Who was Pangu?

He was the first ancestor of the Primordial World, the creator of heaven and earth!

And Li Changsheng's true body, the Creation Green Lotus, was Pangu's accompanying supreme treasure. As an alien soul who had crossed over and occupied Pangu's accompanying treasure, he was, in Pangu's eyes, a complete heretic!

Once Pangu deemed him an aberration, he would have no room to resist. His soul would scatter in an instant, leaving behind not even the slightest trace!

The small world instantly fell into dead silence.

The divine light of the tri-colored lake seemed to freeze, the white mist stopped drifting, and the spiritual grass covering the ground ceased swaying. In the entire world, only Li Changsheng's wildly pounding heartbeat echoed frantically through his sea of consciousness.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The long wait made Li Changsheng feel as though he had fallen into an ice pit. His fear reached its peak.

Just as he thought he was undoubtedly about to die, that deep voice slowly sounded again. There was no killing intent, no anger—only the calmness of one weathered by endless years.

"You're quite a clever little fellow. I didn't expect you to guess my identity."

It really was Pangu!

Li Changsheng's consciousness completely froze. His mind went blank, and he could not recover for a long while!

He had truly encountered Great God Pangu?

Was this a remnant soul left behind after Pangu perished while creating heaven and earth?

Or something else?

How was that possible?!

Great God Pangu had perished after creating heaven and earth. His body had transformed into all things, and his primordial spirit had divided into three. How could a remnant soul still remain?

"Surprised?"

Pangu's voice seemed to see through his thoughts as he spoke calmly. "I perished creating heaven and earth, my primordial spirit divided into three, my essence blood scattered in all directions. Yet my Creation-Splitting Great Dao origin did not completely dissipate. Leaving behind a strand of consciousness to watch over my world was not difficult."

"This small world was a dwelling place I deliberately left for the Creation Green Lotus. The Primordial Chaos Lotus shattered when I created heaven and earth, so naturally, I had to protect this seed to some extent."

Li Changsheng suddenly came back to himself, and the fear in his heart instantly dissipated by more than half!

Great God Pangu had no intention of killing him!

"When heaven and earth were created, the Creation Green Lotus endured the pressure of the Creation-Splitting Great Dao, and its origin nearly shattered. Had it been left to develop on its own, you would have long turned to ash in the aftermath of creation, leaving behind not even a trace."

Pangu's voice continued, carrying a hint of reminiscence. "I casually protected your wisp of soul and sent you into this hidden small world, isolating you from all external dangers so that you could gestate safely until now."

So that was how it was!

Li Changsheng suddenly understood, and a deep gratitude welled up within him.

No wonder he had survived unharmed. No wonder he had ended up in such a blessed sanctuary. It turned out Great God Pangu had saved him!

Without Pangu, he would have been completely annihilated when heaven and earth were created!

"This junior, Li Changsheng, thanks Great God for saving my life!"

Li Changsheng hurriedly bowed respectfully within his consciousness, his tone filled with sincere gratitude. His earlier fear had completely vanished.

This great god who had created heaven and earth held all living beings in his heart and possessed immense magnanimity. He would never bother arguing with a tiny creature like him.

"It was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Suddenly, an idea struck Li Changsheng. If Pangu learned how the future would unfold, would he help me take human form?

In an instant, Li Changsheng decided to treat a dead horse as though it were alive. There was no harm in trying!

Knowing that Pangu's will could read minds, he began recalling the history of the Primordial World that he knew.

Then Pangu's voice suddenly became solemn, its previously calm tone instantly turning grave.

An invisible pressure descended at once!

"What are you thinking? What exactly is going on? Speak quickly!"

Li Changsheng immediately composed himself. Not daring to conceal anything, he hurriedly replied respectfully, "Great God, whatever this junior knows, I will tell you without reservation!"

Before the god who had created heaven and earth, he had no right to hide anything, nor did he dare to.

"The scenes you were thinking of just now, those concerning the future of the Primordial World—the Monstrous Beast Calamity, the struggle between dragons and phoenixes, the war between liches and demons, the Investiture Tribulation and Journey-to-the-West Tribulation, even the eventual decline of heaven and earth into an Age of Dharma Decline..."

Pangu's voice carried an unprecedented gravity. Each word entered Li Changsheng's sea of consciousness with absolute clarity. "Are these real? Are they events that will happen in the future of the Primordial World?"

Li Changsheng's entire body shook!

It had worked, but there was still one obstacle.

Revealing the secrets of heaven!

This was a great taboo in the Primordial World!

Even if the other party was Pangu's remnant soul, revealing the future of heaven and earth so directly might bring down punishment from the Heavenly Dao. At best, his soul would scatter; at worst, he would be unable to reincarnate for all eternity!

Fortunately, after a moment, nothing unusual happened, and he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

At this point, he could tell the truth!

He only hoped this great god could withstand it—and preferably invest in him!

"In reply to Great God Pangu, everything this junior thought of is true. There is not a single false word!"

Li Changsheng took a deep breath, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and revealed every bit of the Primordial World's future that he knew!

"After the Primordial World first opened, the Monstrous Beast Calamity came next. The first batch of innate monstrous beasts ravaged heaven and earth, devouring living beings and destroying the Great Dao. The Primordial World faced its first catastrophe, and countless living beings perished."

"After the Monstrous Beast Calamity ended, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans arose in heaven and earth. They controlled the four seas, the nine heavens, and the earth respectively. To compete for supremacy over the Primordial World, the three clans began the Dragon-Han Tribulation. They battled for endless ages, until in the end, all three clans perished together, completely declined, and withdrew from the stage of the Primordial World."

"After the Dragon-Han Tribulation, the demonic path rose. Luo Hou sought to prove his Dao through slaughter, bringing disaster upon the Primordial World and triggering the ultimate conflict between the righteous and demonic paths. Once again, the Primordial World was left in misery and devastation."

"After the demonic path was destroyed, the Lich Clan and Demon Clan rose. The Lich Clan formed the Twelve Ancestral Liches from Pangu's essence blood, their physical bodies invincible. The Demon Clan controlled the Heavenly Court and ruled over all demons. The two clans jointly governed the Primordial World, but their conflicts never ceased. In the end, they began the Lich Tribulation, and both were destroyed, falling into complete decline."

"After the liches and demons fell, the human race flourished. The Three Pure Ones, descendants of your primordial spirit, Great God, successively attained sainthood and established the Daoist sects. In the west, Jieyin and Zhunti also made great vows and attained Buddhahood. The saints of the Three Realms controlled the Heavenly Dao."

"Then the Investiture Tribulation began. The saints schemed against one another, the Intercepting Sect was destroyed, and the Great Dao of heaven and earth was damaged. Then came the Journey-to-the-West Tribulation, as the Heavenly Dao schemed further and drained the last of the Primordial World's fortune."

"After one tribulation after another, the spiritual energy of the Primordial World was exhausted, innate spiritual roots vanished, great powers fell, and in the end... heaven and earth became an Age of Dharma Decline. There was no longer any Great Dao to comprehend, no more great powers emerged, and even cultivation and refining qi became a distant legend."

The more Li Changsheng spoke, the more panicked he became.

The entire small world was left with only his voice and Pangu's prolonged silence.

No heavenly lightning descended, and no punishment from the Heavenly Dao arrived. Yet that endless dead silence was even more terrifying than thunder and lightning.

Li Changsheng held his breath, not daring to even breathe heavily.

He did not know how Pangu would react upon hearing of this future.

This was the world Pangu had opened with all his divine power, at the cost of his own life—yet it would ultimately end with living beings suffering everywhere and become an Age of Dharma Decline.

Would he be angry? Unwilling to accept it? Or disappointed?

Li Changsheng did not even know whether Pangu would erase him for revealing the secrets of heaven.

Time passed second by second.

Every second felt as long as a century.

Li Changsheng's mind was stretched to the limit. Cold sweat soaked his entire body, yet he did not dare move.

Finally!

A sigh filled with endless vicissitudes, endless unwillingness, and endless sorrow slowly echoed through the small world.

That sigh pierced through the years and through time and space, carrying the boundless grief of the god who had given everything to create heaven and earth, only for it all to come to nothing.
