The ancient Great God Pangu creating heaven and earth has many versions. In the genre of Primordial World fantasy novels, there are countless versions of this creation story.

In the understanding of Wu Chu, Pangu created the world because he was bored while inside an egg, so he needed to create a world to unleash his power. However, the great god underestimated the difficulty of creating the world and ended up exhausting himself.

In the Primordial World fantasy genre of novels, after Pangu created the world, the Great Dao disappeared, or rather, he died. The Great Dao did not manifest, but the Heavenly Dao did; this was the result of the creation of the world.

Now that Wu Chu heard Fuxi say this, Wu Chu thought he could ask them how these Primordial World inhabitants viewed the story of Pangu creating the world.

Nuwa covered her mouth and chuckled upon hearing this. The girl, exuding Dao Resonance, was captivating with every smile and frown. However, Wu Chu kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, his heart as calm as a still lake.

With a fiercely protective brother standing nearby, it's best not to do anything that might be misunderstood, lest you provoke him and cause yourself trouble.

Nuwa said, "The Great Dao is not manifest, but that does not mean Great Dao has disappeared. What we cultivate and comprehend is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. After the Great God Pangu created the world, he himself gave rise to all things in the universe, Great Dao has already merged into this world. It can be said that the Great Dao is omnipresent."

Wu Chu still found it somewhat difficult to understand why the Great Dao required Pangu to create the world.

However, it's normal not to understand the workings of the Great Dao. We are human, and the Great Dao doesn't possess a personal will like they do... well, maybe it does! But how can humans easily comprehend the thoughts of the Great Dao? If they could, wouldn't comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth be a matter of minutes?

"Then what about the heavens..." Wu Chu pointed to the sky above his head, somewhat hesitant to speak directly of the Heavenly Dao, "The Great Dao is hidden, yet Heaven... emerges! What does that mean?"

Nuwa's beautiful, jewel-like eyes narrowed slightly as she smiled and said, "You can understand it as the manifestation of Great Dao Laws with its own will."

"Really?" After feigning surprise for a moment, Wu Chu continued, "Do you two know why the Great God Pangu created heaven and earth? Also, it is said that when the Great God Pangu created heaven and earth, he sacrificed Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods with his blood. That scene must have been extremely magnificent!"

As Wu Chu spoke, he silently observed Fuxi's expression. Nuwa, after all, a woman, Wu Chu couldn't stare directly at her, lest he drive Fuxi, this fiercely protective brother, crazy.

Upon hearing Wu Chu's words, Fuxi's expression indeed flashed with a hint of daze, as if he were lost in memories. But he quickly came back to his senses and glared at Wu Chu.

He had already realized that Wu Chu's words sounded like a test.

Wu Chu feigned ignorance, looking at him innocently, and said, "If you can't say, then don't say. Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please don't scare me like this. I really can't beat you."

When Fuxi Nuwa heard Wu Chu's words, they almost burst out laughing. Nuwa was amused, while Fuxi was infuriated. He hadn't even made a move yet, and this guy was already complaining.

Of course, this little bit of anger wasn't enough to enrage him; he was just somewhat amused and exasperated. With such meager cultivation, they actually dared to test them—they truly didn't know the meaning of death!

After calming himself down, Fuxi said, "We are not the Great God Pangu, so how could we know why he created the world? But since the creation of heaven and earth, all things have evolved and flourished to this day, which is indeed thanks to the Great God Pangu."

"Could it be that the creation of heaven and earth by the Great God Pangu was driven by the will of the Great Dao?" Wu Chu asked again.

Nuwa chuckled, "Why are you so troubled by this, fellow Daoist? I doubt anyone can answer that question, not even the Primordial Chaos beings currently living in the world."

Wu Chu nodded slightly and then asked, "Do you two know which Primordial Chaos beings still exist in the world today? Oh! I was just curious, and I meant no offense."

Nuwa shook her head slightly, "No one can say for sure. Although the Heaven-Opening Tribulation caused countless deaths and injuries to Primordial Chaos beings, no one knows what methods those Primordial Chaos beings possessed or whether they could have survived that catastrophe to this day."

Fuxi picked up the conversation, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please don't ask these questions anymore. These kinds of questions are too ancient, and we don't know much about them either. Knowing them would be of little use."

Hearing this, Wu Chu had no choice but to stop while he was ahead. Even the composed Great God Fuxi was getting impatient, which showed that the questions he asked were indeed somewhat annoying.

Wu Chu estimated that they were likely Primordial Chaos beings who had existed since the beginning of time, so they didn't want to say anything, fearing that their origins would be discovered.

From this, we can infer that they were at least more ancient than Hong Yun and knew more. Otherwise, when Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi examined his body, they would have told him that this was his innate Dao Body, the final form of the Great Dao's Dharma manifestation.

Wu Chu then stood up, bowed to them, and said sincerely, "Please don't mind my abruptness just now. I only wanted to compile some legends about the Great God Pangu for future generations to admire. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me!"

Seeing that Wu Chu's attitude was sincere, Fuxi and Nuwa rose and returned the greeting.

Seeing this, Wu Chu breathed a slight sigh of relief, realizing that these two men were indeed extraordinary in their demeanor and temperament. They hadn't looked down on him because of his low cultivation level. In fact, even though he had just offended them, they hadn't become angry.

After they sat down again, Wu Chu gestured for them to drink, and then asked, "Excuse my intrusion, but are you two from Mount Buzhou, the center of the world?"

Seeing Wu Chu revert to his old ways, Fuxi almost spat out the wine he was drinking, but he managed to purse his lips and hold it in, though his wide-eyed expression was somewhat comical.

Nuwa turned her head and saw Fuxi's appearance, and couldn't help but laugh. She spat out the spiritual wine in her mouth, spraying it all over Fuxi's face. Then, she awkwardly stuck out her tongue, "Brother..."

That "brother" was delivered with a sweet, coquettish tone, exuding a youthful charm.

Little Moon Spirit, who had been holding it in for quite a while, finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, but the smacking sounds that came out from between her fingers were enough to make people smile.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, I, I..."

Little Moon Spirit was very embarrassed, her face turned red, and she was almost in tears.

However, no one would make things difficult for this adorable little creature.

"Nothing, nothing..." Fuxi wiped the wine off his face with his sleeve, whether he was speaking to Nuwa, Little Moon Spirit, or both, it was unclear. He then looked at Wu Chu with a hint of resentment and said helplessly, "If you don't speak, what do you intend to do?"

Wu Chu, somewhat innocent, apologized and said, "I'm just curious whether Mount Buzhou is truly formed from the spine of the Great God Pangu, as legend says? Is it really as tall as Heaven Pillar? Does a tribe calling themselves 'Wu' live at the Mount Buzhou? Are they truly descendants of Pangu Essence Blood, as they claim...?"

"Fellow Daoist, why do you have so many questions?" Fuxi, somewhat helplessly.

Wu Chu spread his hands, saying helplessly, "This place is remote, and my cultivation is low, so I don't dare to wander around. I occasionally hear some rumors and want to find someone to verify whether they are true or false. Your Tongtian is extraordinary, so I think you should be able to answer my questions. Therefore... if Fellow Daoist Fuxi does not wish to answer, then just pretend I never asked these questions! It's alright, I will ask others later if I have the opportunity."

Faced with Wu Chu's inquisitive nature, Fuxi felt a headache coming on and wanted to go home. But Nuwa found it amusing and wanted to stay a while longer.

After sensing that they were relatively mild-mannered, Wu Chu became somewhat arrogant and overconfident.
