As Jiang Ping watched the Creation Diary update, the Chaos world was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
Chaos knew no years, and after an unknown period of gestation, the Three Thousand Demon Gods gradually grew.
Some had three heads and six arms, bodies of humans, beasts, and snakes, while others were blocky, headless, and tailless. In short, they were incredibly varied, exceeding imagination.
Among them, a giant Hollow Willow Tree stood tall within the vortex of Chaos!
As its lush green branches swayed, the chaotic energy dissipated, and faint spatial rifts appeared all around. The Hollow Willow Tree was surrounded by fragments of space!
One must understand that this was the Chaos world, where space was unimaginably solid. In later ages, Primordial World Saints would need innate supreme treasures to create spatial rifts!
In this era, besides Pangu, the King of Chaos, only this Hollow Willow possessed such an ability!
This was because it inherited the Great Dao of Space, one of the most powerful Daos!
However, within the Hollow Willow's nascent consciousness, the world didn't seem so gray. Deep within its soul, it remembered a vague pond-like existence where it had resided on both sides.
There were many brothers and sisters around, and lotus leaves swayed and lotuses bloomed in the pond.
"I wish I could see my homeland again," the newly born Willow sighed.
Within the endless Chaos, at its very center, there was a figure that made it tremble. Yet, deep within its soul, the Willow felt a trace of familiarity!
The Hollow Willow swayed gently. It believed its divine abilities were unmatched, capable of traversing Chaos freely. However, the aura of the central divine-being was too powerful!
It was not on the same level at all!
After an unknown amount of time, the Hollow Willow slowly moved towards the central Chaos Green Lotus, unable to contain its curiosity!
Why did this unknown divine-being at the center give it a sense of familiarity?
As its branches swayed, creating spatial rifts, it leaped forward, risking its life to explore the path back home.
In a corner of Chaos, another powerful Chaos Demon God was gestating.
Drip, drip. He suddenly opened his eyes, the clocks symbolizing time constantly turning within them. With his birth, time began to be divided in this world.
Roar!
A ferocious roar echoed through Chaos. A colossal demon ape, wielding its accompanying demon staff, thrashed about wildly, as if battling a formidable enemy.
The Chaos Demon Ape was formed by the Creation Diary fusing the genes of the Human Race from the Primordial World with the genes of the Ant King, making it terrifyingly powerful!
With equal strength, no enemy could contend with it. And precisely because it had fused with the genes of the peerless Ant King, it was inherently bloodthirsty, warlike, and driven by madness, completely lacking clarity.
One by one, powerful demon gods broke free from the chaotic womb, each inheriting a Great Dao and becoming so powerful as to inspire awe throughout the heavens.
Among them, a tiny earthworm wriggled continuously, its gray head extending upwards, its tail gradually tapering. It burrowed through the Chaos, creating one wormhole after another.
Its body was pitifully small compared to the colossal demon gods, and its strength could not be compared to those who inherited Daos. Yet, it truly lived within Chaos.
Its gray skin constantly absorbed chaotic energy. The little earthworm eked out an existence in the darkness, much like it crawled slowly through the soil.
Jiang Ping put away the Creation Diary and stood up to observe the Chaos world. "Good, good. The Chaos Demon Gods are almost gestated, and Pangu will appear soon."
Jiang Ping chuckled.
With a gentle flick of his finger, the Chaos world instantly sped up, like a movie playing ten times faster. Figures of strangely shaped Chaos Demon Gods flashed before Jiang Ping's eyes.
Chaos was vast, boundless. The Three Thousand Demon Gods within it were less than a drop in the ocean. Even with Jiang Ping accelerating time, the demon gods did not encounter each other. Only the Spatial Willow Tree continuously traversed time and space, facing off against the Time Demon God across billions of spatial distances.
These two strongest demon gods, besides Pangu, sensed each other. Under mutual caution, they ultimately did not meet.
"Strange, why do I always feel uneasy? Has the flow of time in Chaos changed somehow?"
The Time Demon God frowned and mused. He felt that Chaos had become much more unsettled recently, and time seemed to have altered.
After careful investigation, he found nothing. He could only suppress his doubts. He was the Time Demon God, after all, the most sensitive to the passage of time.
If even he didn't know what had happened to the flow of time in Chaos, then no one else in the world would.
"Quite sensitive,"
Jiang Ping laughed from the outside. He had accelerated the flow of time, and this was the first time a being within it had perceived it!
Those caught in the situation were blind, but to be able to sense the change in time was truly unfathomable.
"Accelerated so many times, Pangu should be ready to emerge by now!" Jiang Ping exclaimed.
The stronger the existence, the longer its gestation period.
In Jiang Ping's eyes, an incredibly vast Chaos Green Lotus was rooted at the center of Chaos. Its breathing drew in the chaotic vortex.
Countless streams of chaotic energy converged in this place, a location where even Chaos Demon Gods could not linger!
And an immeasurable distance from the Chaos Green Lotus, a Spatial Willow was constantly approaching across space!
"Quite bold."
Jiang Ping marveled at the leaping Willow Tree. He hadn't expected that branch of Willow to survive. It seemed its future achievements would not be inferior to the earthworm's, and it might even become a second Lahil.
Thinking of Lahil, Jiang Ping picked up the lush green seed on the table. He hadn't sown it in this Chaos world this time. He would cultivate Lahil when the opportunity arose later.
After all, no matter how powerful the Chaos Demon Gods were, they were merely fertilizer for Pangu's world-splitting!
At the heart of the Chaos Green Lotus, a giant egg constantly bobbed and floated. Rolling streams of energy surged towards it, and the being within seemed unable to resist breaking free from the eggshell's confines.
In Jiang Ping's eyes, Pangu within the egg transformed every moment. He would appear with a dragon's head and human body, or a bull's head and dragon's body, changing three thousand times a day without repetition.
Jiang Ping had fused all the genes into the egg, even bleeding profusely himself, which was why Pangu underwent such transformations.
If not for the vast amount of Primal Points, the egg would have long since collapsed from genetic breakdown and exploded.
Da
When Pangu in the giant egg finally settled into a human form, Jiang Ping's eyes lit up.
"It's done!"
The massive Chaos Green Lotus slowly unfurled, its lotus leaves opening one by one, bathing the boundless Chaos in endless green light.
Over two thousand Demon Gods were stunned, witnessing a light that should never have appeared in the Chaos.
Lahil, who was traversing space, paused. "This... what is this?" he exclaimed in shock.
Ahead, a colossal green lotus began to bloom.
From the center of the lotus, a giant egg cracked open with a snap. A powerfully built man, wielding a divine axe and with the Jade Butterfly of Creation hovering above his head, rose with a "boom."
"Zha!"
The man roared, announcing his birth to the Chaos!
"I am Pangu! Today, I emerge, by the decree of the Great Dao, to shatter the Chaos and open heaven and earth!"
With that, the world of Chaos violently shook. The eyes of the other two thousand-plus Demon Gods turned frantic as they rushed towards the center of the Chaos.
At this moment, the Great Dao itself aided them. One by one, the Demon Gods spotted Pangu, intending to stop him from opening the heavens.
Chaos was like a sea. After Pangu opened the heavens, the world would continuously expand, and the sea would constantly recede. For them, small fish living within it, this meant inevitable desiccation and death!
This was the first tribulation of Chaos: the Demon Gods obstructing Pangu.
The Demon Gods converged from all directions, and a small earthworm, caught in the surge, was also swept towards the center of the Chaos.
Outside, Jiang Ping chuckled, "The 'tool-man' Pangu is born. The magnificent Primordial World is about to appear!"
