A Low-End Primordial World, Despair Among All Beings
Chapter 92 A Low-End Primordial World, Despair Among All Beings
I don't know why.
Pangu, whose body was originally solid, began to become illusory.
It slowly became unreal.
The oblivious nine-sectioned earthworm remained unaware of this, wandering around Pangu every day.
"Is it just my imagination?"
Gui Xuan thought to himself.
The nine-jointed cricket may not have noticed, but Pangu himself had.
Originally carefree around the nine-jointed earthworm, it began to grow melancholy as time went by.
until a certain day.
Pangu stood before the nine-segmented earthworm, his voice heavy, "Father God, I am about to disappear."
The nine-sectioned earthworm stared blankly at Pangu, utterly bewildered.
Pangu had no choice but to continue speaking to himself.
"Father God, after I leave, you will be the only living being left in this endless world."
"Before I leave, let me create a world with living beings for God the Father, so that God the Father will not be as lonely as before."
Regardless of whether the nine-sectioned earthworm could understand or not, Pangu slowly stood up and flew away into the distance with reluctance.
"Is this the beginning of creation?"
Gui Xuan made a guess in his heart.
Expensive fuel.
The next second, Pangu's snake tail swam, stirring up endless chaotic energy.
Black cracks appeared as the chaotic energy churned.
In Gui Xuan's gaze, the black cracks transformed into individual spaces.
The space opened up, and the cracks widened.
A vast, empty world appeared within the chaotic world.
After doing all this, Pangu's already unstable body quickly became illusory.
The nine-sectioned cricket looked at Pangu curiously, not understanding what he was doing.
"With my frail body, I will nourish all things!"
Pangu's voice was vast and resounding, echoing across billions of miles of the primordial world.
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Pangu glanced at the nine-sectioned earthworm with a look of reluctance in his eyes, then his body collapsed and fell into the new world.
The earth appeared, and rivers flowed.
One by one, bewildered beings appeared in the new world.
Chaotic energy surged in, and countless ferocious beasts moved swiftly and fiercely in the new world, each step covering three meters and a half meters, pinching and striking one another.
They fought each other, creating quite a spectacle.
Then they all established dynasties.
Then the dynasty descended into chaos, bloodshed erupted, and dynasties vied for supremacy.
Finally, the three races appeared, attacked and killed the ferocious beasts, and stabilized the world...
Yanran is a primitive, primordial world that is rapidly evolving.
Pangu...
The nine-sectioned earthworm looked at the vanished Pangu and cried out.
But Pangu did not respond.
"Pangu!"
"Pangu!"
Silence, emptiness.
No one answered.
As the cries for its child echoed, the nine-sectioned earthworm began to emanate emotions of anxiety and fear.
He swung his massive body, reaching thousands of feet in length, and came before the new world. Looking at the bewildered creatures within, he continued to call out the name 'Pangu'.
There was still no response.
anger!
Bang!
The nine-sectioned earthworm, radiating anger, swept its massive body towards the new world.
The newborn world was inherently fragile; with a single blow from the nine-segmented eel, the world shook.
The world collapsed under his relentless attacks.
Countless black cracks spread across the new world, and the apocalypse arrived. The three ancient races, who were moving at a pace of three meters and three feet at a time, watched in fear as the end of the world came, feeling powerless.
Ultimately, the earth, water, wind, and fire elements were in a state of chaos, and countless lives perished.
The new world has since disappeared.
The nine-sectioned earthworm stared blankly at the vanished new world, somewhat bewildered, and remained motionless for a long time.
Gui Xuan silently observed everything before him from the void.
"This creation myth of Pangu is far too hasty..."
There's no skill involved, it's all about brute force.
It created a small world directly in the chaotic world, but it was destroyed by the nine-sectioned earthworm.
It’s just that!
That's right, it's a small world.
It's hard to imagine that Pangu actually created a small world.
As he sighed, the nine-jointed cricket stirred.
A frenzied and painful emotion emanated from him as he frantically dug through the chaotic earth.
Gui Xuan was puzzled, "Why is this guy digging in the dirt again?"
What's wrong with you? You dig in the dirt whenever you're unhappy.
Following behind the nine-sectioned earthworm, Gui Xuan quietly watched as the earthworm dug a hole in the ground without regard for anything else.
Finally, after endless years, the rustling sound reappeared.
The nine-sectioned earthworm, as if it had found its target, became even more frantic, digging even faster.
"What is this?!"
Gui Xuan was completely focused on the rustling sound, but he couldn't make it out clearly no matter how hard he tried.
They could only watch helplessly as the nine-sectioned earthworm dug even more diligently in the soil.
But something unexpected happened.
The nine-jointed earthworm seemed to have dug up a barrier and rammed into it hard.
A deafening sound rang out, so sudden that it made Gui Xuan's eyes go blank.
When he came to his senses and looked over, a section of the nine-sectioned earthworm's body suddenly exploded.
It becomes eight sections.
Before he could even understand what was happening, the scene before him collapsed and vanished.
When I came to my senses, I was back in the chaotic world inside the Chaos Pearl.
"What was that sound?!"
For a long time, Gui Xuan's heart was still not at peace.
This time, he stayed inside the divination chamber longer than the previous two times combined.
This also increased the doubts in his mind.
"Pangu with a human head and a snake's body, a low-budget version of the primordial world."
"Pangu's true name..."
Is this the true process of the evolution of the primordial world?
If that's really the case, how many evolutions would it have taken to develop this vast and boundless primordial world?
Old man, how did you do that?
What was that rustling sound?
There's a certain feeling about returning to the origin.
If he could hear that sound clearly, he might be able to decipher Hongjun's secret.
Perhaps the true path to transcendence lies within this!
"I will continue to spy on fate!
Gui Xuan made a decision in his heart.
How could he let such a great opportunity slip away?
With a flash, he reappeared on Fangzhang Immortal Island.
At this moment, the primordial gods and saints had not yet recovered from the shock of three saints in one day. Many more primordial gods and saints were impatient and eager to attain enlightenment.
But with the emergence of a rumor, more and more prehistoric creatures felt hopeless about the future.
Among them, those at the Quasi-Saint level are the most desperate.
"Heaven is unjust!"
"Our path forward is blocked; what's the point of cultivating this path?"
"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"
"Hahaha!!!"
"·····"
In the hearts of the primordial beings, the twelve holy positions were already set, and there was no hope of becoming a saint.
The feeling of having nowhere to go in the endless years was even more painful than entering the Investiture of the Gods in later generations.
Entering the Investiture of the Gods still offers a glimmer of hope, waiting for the immeasurable calamity to end and escape the list.
But there was no way forward; the path for all living beings in the primordial world was completely blocked.
A primordial deity entered the chaos, seeking answers from the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but could not find the location of Zixiao Palace.
In desperation, they tried to find the Dao Ancestor Guixuan, only to discover that throughout the endless ages, apart from the Hongyun Ancestral Buddha, the Earthly Saint Zhenyuanzi, and the Houtu Goddess, no other primordial beings knew the whereabouts of the Dao Ancestor Guixuan.
Longevity Hill and the Buddhist land of the East Sea are bustling with activity once again.
Fangzhang Immortal Island.
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun looked at Gui Xuan with helpless expressions.
"Dao Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Hongyun asked with a worried tone.
Zhen Yuanzi also looked worried.
If this situation continues, all living beings in the primordial world will become possessed by demons.
It will be a terrifying calamity that no one can withstand!
What worries Hongyun the most is that the Buddhist land in the East Sea is now also being affected. Under the influence of this sentiment, his disciples' Buddhist hearts are unstable and they have no heart to cultivate Buddhism.
Gui Xuan said calmly, "Shouldn't this be a matter for the sages of the Xuanmen to worry about?"
"What's the rush?"
Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were taken aback.
Zhen Yuanzi opened his mouth, "Dao Ancestor..."
Gui Xuan interrupted Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "That old fellow claimed to have merged with the Dao, saying that there are nine holy positions in heaven and earth; their Xuanmen alone accounts for the vast majority of them."
"You three attained sainthood because I exchanged immeasurable merits with the Heavenly Dao. This cause and effect has nothing to do with you."
"These beings of the primordial world seek me out simply so I can pave the way for them again and grant them sainthood; what do they take me for!?"
"They cultivate the mystical path, yet they make me pave the way? Do they think I'm easygoing? Or do they think this Heavenly Dao is mine to pave however I want!"
"Laozi is the founder of Taoism, not someone who pioneered and built roads!"
"Let the Xuanmen resolve this matter themselves. If they fail to resolve it, it will be because those Xuanmen Heavenly Dao Saints have failed in their duties. They will then be burdened with karmic debts and bring down a few Saints, which will fulfill the wishes of all living beings in the prehistoric world."
"The seat I am entitled to has already been prepared long ago."
At this point, Gui Xuan paused, "As for Hong Yun, although you occupy the sacred position of the Xuanmen, you have already broken away from the Xuanmen. If all living beings fall into demonic possession, your Buddhism can be a great merit to save them and bring blessings to the world. You should be happy."
Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun felt a chill run down their spines.
The Dao Ancestor Guixuan is enraged!
This time, the primordial beings really angered him.
Who is this troublemaker causing trouble behind the scenes? How dare they scheme against Dao Ancestor Guixuan!
They could already foresee that what followed would be a bloodbath that would engulf the entire prehistoric world.
When Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi saw that message, they had already guessed that it was a scheme against Guixuan Daozu.
This trip to Fangzhang Immortal Island serves two purposes: firstly, to gauge the Dao Ancestor's attitude, and secondly, to seek a solution.
Now, upon hearing what Daoist Guixuan said, I realized that it was the two of them who were impatient.
The Dao Ancestor Guixuan already had a solution to this scheme.
"What the Dao Ancestor said is absolutely right."
Since that's the case, they'll just sit back and watch the situation unfold, waiting for the Xuanmen Saint to be brought down step by step.
Gui Xuan nodded. "Of the Seven Sages of the Xuanmen, apart from that old fellow, the other six are currently blinded by heavenly secrets and are still unaware of what's going on in their own dojos."
"It won't be long before they find out who's behind this and calm their anger."
······
Kunlun Mountain.
Sanqing Hall.
The Three Pure Ones sat cross-legged in the Taiqing Hall, listening to their disciples' report, and frowned.
After his disciples left, Yuanshi Tianzun looked displeased. "These primordial beings don't cultivate themselves, but instead try to accumulate merit and virtue. They actually dare to rebel against their superiors and use their power to coerce Guixuan Daozu. How utterly disrespectful!"
The Master of the Shangqing Tongtian Sect had a deep look in his eyes. "There is no way forward, and it is conceivable that all living beings are in despair."
"But little did they know that the position of saint was not so easy to attain."
Their destiny was suppressed, and their primordial spirits were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World. This holy position, which was like that of a prisoner, was something they tried to avoid, but it was the thing that billions of living beings in the Primordial World craved the most.
The power of laws flowed between the Supreme Saints, and the Yin and Yang energies churned in their eyes.
After hearing what his two younger brothers said, he stopped his divination and said, "The secrets of heaven are completely in chaos. I have been divination for a long time, but I still cannot deduce the root cause of all this."
The great calamity has already begun in full force, and the secrets of heaven are already in chaos.
Previously, some things could be deduced, but since the birth of the Three Sages of the Underworld, the already chaotic secrets of heaven have become even more chaotic.
Even as sages, they couldn't deduce anything, and felt completely lost and helpless.
In addition, due to the previous decline in the fortunes of the human race, he almost lost his sainthood, which damaged his own strength and made him much weaker than before.
The power of deduction has also weakened considerably.
For some reason, the Sage of Taiqing had a vague sense of unease.
After several deductions about the entire house, they had no choice but to give up.
"The secrets of heaven are yet to be revealed, and all living beings in the primordial world are now searching for the two Dao Ancestors."
"The teacher is elusive and uncertain in the chaos, and the Dao Ancestor Guixuan still exists after the primordial world."
"Millions of beings are seeking Guixuan Daozu, wanting to confirm with him whether the last holy position belongs to him; if it truly belongs to him, they will hope that Guixuan Daozu will pave the way again."
"For now, we should wait and see, and remain calm in the face of change."
"After all, the beings of the primordial world are now heading towards the Dao Ancestor Guixuan, which has nothing to do with us."
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded.
They only need to sit back and watch the situation unfold; all other causes and effects are none of their concern.
What they didn't know was that the Primordial Saint had begun to act abnormally after failing to find the Dao Ancestor of Returning to the Mysterious Realm.
A new calamity began to appear in the primordial world.
