How many years did a Chaos Cycle last from beginning to end?
They were impossible to count—an immeasurable number upon an immeasurable number.
Pangu had gained some insight from his attempt to open up Primordial Chaos, but by the time he understood, death was already upon him.
Doing something after the old Chaos Cycle ended and before the new one began was merely a better choice by comparison.
Compared with replacing Chaos outright with Primordial Chaos, it would be less difficult.
But that did not mean Pangu would have succeeded if he had done so.
Far from guaranteeing success, that choice still offered no visible hope of it.
"The end of a Chaos Cycle is too far away. We cannot even glimpse the day this one will end," Meng Chuan said, shaking his head.
The concept of Chaos Cycles was not something Pangu had discovered just before his death. It had existed long before.
Formation, existence, decay, and emptiness; opening, flourishing, and ending—these were the eternal, unchanging laws of operation. Even something as vast as the Chaos Sea followed them.
