Lesser transcendence meets greater transcendence: the Great Dao and Pangu discuss the truth

"Oh, so that's how it was. I was wondering-if the Space Demon Yang Mei survived, there was no reason the Time Demon Shichen couldn't," Scumbag Kakarot said.

"That was only because I didn't use my full strength," Pangu said. "After all, I had to split heaven and earth and attain the Great Dao. I couldn't go all out just to kill those ants."

"Ants at the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level?" Scumbag Kakarot asked with a laugh.

"No, ants at the primordial chaos Taiji great golden immortal level. Those Chaos Demons were born at the Hunyuan level, and after cultivating for endless ages, they had long since become primordial chaos Taiji great golden immortals.

"The ten great Demon Gods-the Time Demon, Space Demon, Fate Demon, Karma Demon, Destruction Demon, Power Demon, Yin-Yang Demon, Five Elements Demon, Creation Demon, and Chaos Demon Ape-were all late-stage primordial chaos Taiji great golden immortals," Pangu said.

"Then what realm were you in at the time?" Scumbag Kakarot asked.

"I was at the Peak Primordial Chaos Wuji Great Golden Immortal realm, also known as the half-step Great Dao realm," Pangu said.

"So that explains it. No wonder you killed a Chaos Demon with every swing of your axe. You were an entire major realm above them," Scumbag Kakarot said.

"Indeed. Even in the same realm, I could have easily annihilated those three thousand Chaos Demons, let alone from a major realm above them. If I hadn't needed to split heaven and earth, I could have blown whole swathes of Chaos Demons to death with a single breath," Pangu said.

"Then you knew when I first arrived in this world, fellow Daoist?" Scumbag Kakarot asked.

"Indeed. But as I said, the Great Dao is impartial and targets no living being, so I paid you no mind,"
