"Second Brother, I've understood!"
Pangu's hearty laughter echoed through Chaos.
Then, powerful Law energy burst from him, and the Fortune Jade Disc flew out from his body!
The Jade Disc, engraved with supreme divine patterns, shone with dazzling brilliance.
The Three Thousand Laws Array!
This array was boundlessly intricate and could create an independent world. Pangu would be able to cultivate in seclusion inside it without anyone disturbing him.
"Second Brother, you're still in your formative stage. You must focus on comprehending Chaos. I'll leave the Chaos Pearl with you, in case any God-Demons ambush you.
"I'll go into seclusion now."
As Pangu spoke, the Chaos Pearl flew from between his brows and settled securely atop the Azure Lotus, shielding Chu Yi.
Then Pangu entered the array.
"The Chaos Pearl?"
Chu Yi sensed the Chaos Pearl, his heart surging with excitement.
This was his big brother's innate companion treasure, undoubtedly a Chaos Supreme Treasure!
The Chaos Pearl contained the complete Law of Space and held an entire world of Chaos within itself!
"I've just comprehended the Law of Space. Why not compare it with the Law of Space inside the Chaos Pearl and see how they differ?"
As soon as the thought crossed Chu Yi's mind, his divine sense entered the Chaos Pearl.
The space within the Chaos Pearl was also a sea of Chaos.
But Chu Yi could clearly sense that the Chaos within the pearl was different from the Chaos around him.
The reason was...
The Chaos he inhabited had the Great Dao.
The Chaos inside the Chaos Pearl had no Great Dao.
If he imitated his big brother's Creation of Heaven and Earth inside the Chaos Pearl, he probably wouldn't be able to attain the Great Dao Sage realm, but he could continue to increase his strength.
The essence of Creation of Heaven and Earth was to cleave apart the Laws of Chaos!
To do that, he first had to comprehend all Three Thousand Laws and unite them as one. Only then might he be able to split open Chaos.
Comprehending the Three Thousand Laws was already no easy feat. Merging them into the Law of Strength would be even harder.
Repeatedly imitating Pangu's Creation of Heaven and Earth inside the Chaos Pearl would surely help him merge the Laws!
After Creation, the Chaos Pearl had escaped the Great Tribulation of Creation and leapt beyond the Three Realms and Six Paths... its whereabouts unknown.
His big brother's fate was already set. When the time came, he would have to find a way to keep the Chaos Pearl for himself.
As Chu Yi pondered, the system's voice rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have received a reward: Innate Law of Earth!]
"The Innate Law of Earth? A little weak."
Chu Yi grumbled inwardly.
Still, it was a complete Law.
His big brother was in seclusion, so he'd absorb the Origin Fragment first.
Who knew how much time had passed?
A ripple of spatial energy stirred in Chaos, and several figures appeared near Chu Yi.
"So this is Pangu's territory?"
The Space God-Demon spoke.
Behind him were several other God-Demons: the Time God-Demon, the Slaughter God-Demon, and the Destruction God-Demon.
In an instant, the area around the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus filled with immense waves of slaughter and destruction. The two forces churned Chaos itself into turmoil.
After Pangu's emergence, the Three Thousand God-Demons had appeared one after another!
At this stage, powerful God-Demons were born at the tenth level of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm!
These four God-Demons were among the most powerful of the Three Thousand God-Demons.
All had surpassed the tenth level of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm and reached the half-step Primordial Daluo level.
Normally, the Three Thousand God-Demons were at odds with one another, each regarding the others as prey to devour.
But ever since Pangu declared that he would split open Chaos, they had felt an intense sense of crisis.
So they set aside their grievances and came together, hoping to stop Pangu from splitting Chaos.
The four of them, of course, couldn't hope to shake Pangu.
But they had one source of confidence... the united might of the Three Thousand God-Demons!
"Look! That thing above Pangu's head looks like... the Fortune Jade Disc!"
The four God-Demons' eyes gleamed.
This was a supreme treasure containing the Three Thousand Great Daos. Any God-Demon who saw it would turn green with envy!
"Why? Why does Pangu get to possess such a treasure?!"
The Destruction God-Demon roared!
Though the Three Thousand Chaos God-Demons had been formed from the Three Thousand Great Daos of Chaos, at this stage their comprehension of the Great Dao was still far from sufficient.
None of them had taken that final step and reached the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm!
If they possessed the Fortune Jade Disc, they could comprehend the Great Dao by following the supreme principles recorded on it and attain the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm.
That was why envy stirred in every one of them.
"Damn it! With the array formed by the Fortune Jade Disc protecting him, we can't break through!" the Destruction God-Demon roared.
"Look! There's actually an embryo beside Pangu!"
At that moment, the Space God-Demon pointed toward the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.
All the God-Demons turned their eyes to Chu Yi.
"The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus's origin is nearly exhausted. Pangu must have absorbed it... But he's protecting this embryo with the Chaos Pearl, which means he cares deeply about it!"
The Time God-Demon's lips curled upward. "If we take this embryo into our hands, Pangu will have no choice but to obey us."
"Pangu looks to be in seclusion. He won't wake anytime soon. This is our best chance to act," the Space God-Demon analyzed.
"Hahaha, makes sense!" the Slaughter God-Demon laughed. "But... I'd much rather devour it!"
Then he struck out with a Law of Slaughter, sending it crashing toward the Azure Lotus.
At that moment, the Chaos Pearl blazed with dazzling light. Spatial power manifested and redirected the Law of Slaughter into the Chaos Pearl.
The tremendous crash still roused the sleeping Chu Yi, making the entire embryo shudder violently.
He immediately probed the surroundings with his divine sense...
"Four God-Demons are here!" Chu Yi was horrified.
[Ding, four God-Demons have been detected coming to stop Pangu from splitting open Chaos. Choice triggered.]
[Choice One: Drive off the four God-Demons. Reward: one Chaos Supreme Treasure!]
[Choice Two: Do nothing. Reward: one complete Law!]
The system's voice rang in Chu Yi's divine sense.
Drive off four God-Demons?
Why would I be able to do that?
I'm just a tiny embryo. What have I done to deserve the power to drive off four God-Demons?
Do nothing...
Can I really do nothing?
Every one of them is looking at me like prey... They clearly can't do anything to my big brother, so now they're coming after me!
System, these choices... make no sense at all.
Oh, the prerequisite for these choices is... God-Demons coming to stop Pangu from splitting open Chaos...
In that case, never mind...
But what am I supposed to do?
Big brother, wake up! Your little brother's about to get beaten up.
No, it might be worse than that. Your little brother might not make it!
"Damn it! This Chaos Pearl contains spatial power. It redirected my attack into another space!"
The Slaughter God-Demon's face was twisted with fury.
"No matter," the Space God-Demon said with a smile. "My Law of Space has long since reached perfection. I'll use it to cancel out the Chaos Pearl's spatial power, and you can attack the embryo."
"The old Space Demon is right. If that doesn't work, I'll use the power of Time to interfere with the Chaos Pearl. Slaughter and Destruction, unleash your full strength."
Slaughter and Destruction nodded firmly.
Chu Yi panicked. You're plotting this out loud... is that really wise?
All right, he was just an embryo... They didn't even need to take him seriously... Their main goal was to break through the Chaos Pearl's defenses.
"Everyone, can't we talk this out? Why do you have to wipe me out?"
Chu Yi sent the words through a ripple of divine sense.
He figured... he should say something at a time like this.
"Oh? An embryo that's already developed divine sense!"
The Slaughter God-Demon's desire to kill surged.
"Hahaha, what a treasure! This embryo has developed divine sense and must contain the origin of the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus. If I devour it, perhaps I can break through my bottleneck and take that final step!" The Destruction God-Demon burst into laughter.
"Calm down! We're meant to use this embryo to threaten Pangu!" the Space God-Demon quickly urged.
"Ridiculous. If devouring this embryo lets me take that final step, why would I still fear Pangu?" the Destruction God-Demon said coldly.
