This is so dishonest!

Chapter 392 Mutual Deception, True and False Primordial World, Zhunti and Jieyin Also Get Involved?
This experience seems to have been meticulously arranged by the great god Pangu.

It was as if their own great Dao was naturally manifested and sublimated in the special environment of "before the beginning of the universe".

Although Xuanqing and others together constitute the complete concept of the "Five Primordial Elements".

However, it is no longer like when I played the primordial spirit of Pangu last time, where our consciousnesses were connected and our memories were shared.

At this moment, within the endless chaotic space of the Chaotic Green Lotus, they are five independent yet interdependent origins of the Great Dao.

They can vaguely sense the presence of others, but cannot pinpoint their exact location.

They are even less able to communicate directly.

It was as if each of them was enveloped by an invisible barrier unique to themselves, formed by their own original Dao, and immersed in the deepest understanding and evolution of their own Dao origin.

"It's quite a wonderful experience."

Within the primordial blue lotus, Fuxi's will flow.

He was surprised by the changes in himself, an experience completely different from when he came to Chaos as the Ancestral Witch of Wood, Jumang.

The last time, the thirteen ancestral witches transformed into a deity.

At this very moment, Fuxi transformed into the supreme and all-encompassing "Spirit of Taiyi"!
His existence is no longer a physical form.

Rather, it is a pure "divine origin" that transcends the boundaries of existence and non-existence.

In this chaotic space where he was, there was no light, no darkness, no sound, and no matter.

Even the concepts of time and space have become blurred.

There is only an eternal, silent "absolute nothingness".

"Taiyi is the beginning of the divine!"

Fuxi recalled the description in the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Attainment Method.

He tried to change his mind.

"From nothingness, the God of Taiyi was born."

"I am Taiyi, the eternal god!"

Within this absolute nothingness, Fuxi's will continues to expand.

Finally, I don’t know how long it took.

In the vast void, there was indeed a faint trace of the "Primordial God," seemingly ready to unleash boundless creation at any moment.

"This actually works?"

Fuxi's lips twitched.

In the chaotic era, may your wishes come true in the Chaotic Lotus Heart?

This is the first time I've ever experienced being fed by the god Pangu.

Fuxi was flattered by the favor.

"So this is what it feels like to be cheating? My previous esoteric techniques were still a bit lacking."

Fuxi's consciousness, in accordance with his original Dao, expanded little by little, gradually merging with the concept of the "original god".

He seemed to be that spark of inspiration before the entire universe was even born.

That first cause that drives everything from "nothing" to "something".

He could clearly sense that his own existence was resonating deeply with the very essence of the Chaos Green Lotus.

He is gradually condensing the prototype of the "eternal true self"—Pangu—that is about to create the world from the ultimate void of "emptiness without emptiness".

Every expansion of the will is a negation of "nothingness" and an affirmation of "being";

Every thought that flows through one's mind accumulates the most fundamental power for the upcoming "creation of heaven and earth".

Fuxi was so immersed in this profound Dao that he forgot everything else.

~~~~
"He resides in the Pure Realm, and is known as the Spirit Treasure Lord. He was born from the Ancestral Tribulation, possessing over 99,000 units of Brahma Qi. The Crimson Book shines brightly, containing 668 True Scripts. It opened the Nine Heavens because of the Chaotic Crimson Scripts and divided the Five Tribulations into the Jade Calendar of the Era."

"The heavens and earth are governed by the laws of nature, the origin of all creation. The pivot of yin and the mechanism of yang, the progenitor of thunder and lightning. With great compassion and vows, with great holiness and mercy, the Jade Emperor Dao Lord Lingbao Heavenly Venerable."

In another chaotic space, Daoist Yu Chen transformed into the "Primordial Spirit," which symbolizes the beginning of all things and the source of all power!
The space he was in was no longer pure nothingness.

Instead, it is filled with invisible and formless "Primordial Qi" that contains infinite potential for change.

This "primordial Qi" is the most original and purest "energy" and "power" before all things in the universe differentiated into Yin and Yang, before the Five Elements manifested, and before they formed specific forms.

At this moment, the consciousness of Daoist Yu Chen transformed into the controller and guide of this "Primordial Qi".

His thoughts and ideas will trigger a chain reaction in this chaotic space.

His every move can trigger dramatic changes in the "Primordial Qi," giving rise to entirely new possibilities.

He could sense that this endless "Primordial Qi" was constantly evolving, colliding, merging, and splitting under his will, giving birth to the prototypes of countless Great Dao Laws.

Every evolution gives birth to a brand new possibility; every collision inspires an even more powerful creative force.
Each fusion gives rise to a more complex structural prototype; each division gives rise to a more refined network of laws.

In this endless evolution and change, the originally chaotic "Primordial Qi" began to gradually give birth to the most primitive "Dao Seeds" and "Runes" that constitute the myriad laws of the future universe.

"The characteristics of this primordial Qi, the primordial Qi, seem to be connected with and corroborate my ancestral tribulation Qi!"

Yu Chen Daojun suddenly felt enlightened, and a ray of spiritual light pierced through the fog of his consciousness like lightning.

The endless cycle and infinite transformation of this "Primordial Qi" are remarkably similar to the "Ancestral Qi" within his own Dao Fruit, which has endured countless tribulations and cycles without extinction, and can be reborn into all things after each extinction!

Therefore, he followed the primordial energy and created countless laws within the chaotic space in which he resided.

A wisp of primordial energy gave rise to the birth of a law, which transformed into a deity.

When he created more than 99,000 laws and avatars, he thought of the plan he had prepared before his departure.

"Oh, right, the Great Dao of Destruction."

"Although it deviates somewhat from the original plan, it can still be used."

A thought flashed through Yu Chen Daojun's mind.

The next moment, a "law of destruction" filled with the meaning of ending, annihilation, and the return of all things to nothingness was born in response to the thought!

With the birth of this law, the supreme "Dao Artifact" symbolizing the ultimate authority of the "Dao of Destruction"—the World-Destroying Millstone—also evolved from a pure and abstract state of "Ending Dao Mark".

"Since there is destruction, there must be creation."

Looking at the world-destroying millstone that exuded endless ferocity, Daoist Yu Chen smiled slightly, his thoughts swirling once more.

"My Qingping Sword."

Within this space, he could do as he pleased and create things out of nothingness.

In an instant, a sword intent of "opening up" and "generating" was formed.

It quickly coalesced into a shape, transforming into a divine sword with a brilliant blue light and sharp edge.

This supreme sword intent, brimming with vitality and pioneering power, forms the most striking and perfect contrast with the chilling essence of the Great Millstone of Annihilation, which represents end and destruction.

And within this chaotic space, a subtle yet stable perfect balance was established.

"The beginning of all things is the origin of Qi!"

"Formless and without appearance, yet with myriad forms and images."

"The principles of 'existence' and 'non-existence,' the true meaning of destruction and creation, all seem to be realized here?"

Yu Chen Daojun continuously experienced the profound mystery of the universe's transformation from "absolute nothingness" to "primordial energy".

He knew that when he could use this "Primordial Qi" to perfection, creating all things with a single thought and returning to nothingness with another, it would be another important milestone on his path of Taiyi.

"I wonder how Xuanqing and the others are doing?"

~~~~~
Just as Yu Chen Daojun was fully experiencing the supreme joy of creating all laws and evolving all phenomena in his own "Primordial Space," and was becoming somewhat curious about the circumstances of his other companions.

In the chaotic space "next to" him, that space that belonged exclusively to "Tai Shi", Xuan Qing's will also sensed a faint yet incredibly clear rhythm.

"Hmm? This primordial rhythm, brimming with endless life and boundless change, feels so familiar... Is this Yu Chen's aura?"

On the other side, Xuan Qing had already released all his constraints and distractions, immersing his entire mind in this mysterious trial.

Following the guidance of the Chaos Lotus, he naturally evolved into the "Primordial Spirit," which represents the initial form and the beginning of the order of all things in the universe!
In this vast and boundless chaotic space where he was, yet filled with intangible "forms".

The Primordial Dao, symbolizing the "beginning of form," began to gradually condense and evolve under his guidance into various "Primordial Dao Forms," ​​which, though vague and indistinct and lacking substance, contained endless mysteries of the Dao and future possibilities.

These "primordial Dao forms," ​​condensed from the "original source," are incredibly diverse and all-encompassing.

It is the most fundamental and original "design blueprint" and "form template" for all tangible things in the universe.

Some "Taoist forms" resemble the layers upon layers of a supreme lotus platform that blooms in succession, radiating a warm and holy light. The Taoist charm they contain clearly symbolizes the fundamental Tao that "bears all things" and "purifies all things."

Some "Taoist forms" present the appearance of a huge axe blade that is sharp and incomparable, as if it can cut through all constraints and causality. It exudes a heart-palpitating, supreme sharpness that represents "ending the old" and "creating a new life".

Other forms of the "Tao" condense into a seemingly simple and unadorned, yet profound and all-encompassing, perfectly round pearl that seems to contain all the wisdom and mysteries of the universe, signifying the supreme realm of "perfection" and "enlightened wisdom."

Xuanqing's consciousness was completely immersed in the meticulous observation, deep understanding and personal construction of these ever-changing "innate Dao forms" containing infinite mysteries, feeling the unique Dao truth contained behind each "form".

"Whether it is the forward evolution of the five innate elements from 'nothing' to 'something', or the reverse evolution from 'something' to 'nothing', it is a reverse deduction.

“The ‘Primordial Beginning’ realm where I am now is precisely in the middle of this entire ‘Five Primordial’ chain.”

Xuanqing pondered: "To ascend, I need to receive the inexhaustible power of 'Qi' from 'the beginning'."

"Going downwards, I need to provide the most fundamental 'form' framework for the condensation of the 'quality' of 'Tai Su' and the formation of the 'body' of 'Tai Chi'."

"It can be said that my position is a crucial hub that connects the past and the future, a bridge linking 'energy' and 'matter,' 'abstract' and 'concrete.'"

"So……"

A hint of cunning and curiosity flashed within Xuan Qing's will.

"Since I am in such an important 'transfer station' position, does that mean that I can use the characteristics of my own 'Primordial Origin' to sense, or even 'connect' to, the spaces where the other fellow Daoists are located?"

"Let me find out where they are!"

Once this thought arose in Xuanqing's mind, he no longer hesitated. He began to mobilize the power of the "Primordial Origin" that he had transformed into, using his own will as the core, to create a clear and unique "form" for himself.

Then, he summoned all the strange and wonderful "innate Dao forms" he had created and understood during this period—whether they were lotus platforms, axe blades, jewels, or other forms—and made them merge into his own "form" like rivers flowing into the sea.

In an instant, all the "innate Dao forms" vanished. In their place was a "Dawn Pearl" that radiated endless light and primordial power, dazzling to the extreme.

It floated silently in this chaotic space, as if it were the first ray of dawn that the entire universe was about to welcome.

"Well, with this 'Lizhu,' which represents the 'beginning of all things,' as my 'main body,' it should be stable enough."

"Of course, that's not enough. To 'visit' other spaces within the special space of this Chaotic Green Lotus, you'll also need a powerful 'key'!"

Xuanqing transformed into the form of Tai Shi and gently touched the radiant "Dawn Pearl" with his hand.

With his guidance, the most ancient and powerful "creation runes," which were filled with the creation of chaos, the establishment of earth, water, fire, and wind, and the evolution of all things in the universe, began to come alive, rapidly generating, spreading, intertwining, and combining on the surface of "Lizhu."

Finally, these incredibly complex and profound creation divine patterns detached from "Lizhu" and, with a flick of the wind in the void, transformed into a small, pitch-black triangular banner!

On the banner, it seemed as if the entire universe was constantly changing, radiating the supreme power of creation!
The moment this small banner appeared, the entire "Primordial Space" trembled violently.

It seemed unable to withstand the terrifying power contained within it, a power capable of tearing everything apart and reshaping the world!
Holding the Pangu Banner, Xuan Qing smiled brightly: "The Pangu God's axe could split the entire Great Chaos with a single blow, creating a boundless primordial world."

"So, it makes perfect sense for me to borrow the power of the 'Pangu Banner' within this Chaos Lotus's inner space to create a 'path' to other spaces!"

After manifesting the Pangu Banner, Xuanqing gently raised it!
With this movement, a seemingly slender but actually containing supreme creation power cleaved out from the surface of the Pangu Banner!
"boom!!!"

A terrifying roar, powerful enough to shake the very essence of any soul, exploded in this chaotic space that belonged only to "Tai Shi"!
~~~~
"Huh? What's going on?"

"Why do I feel like the light of Pangu's Axe flashed by?"

Within the Tai Su space, Nuwa at this moment transformed into the "Spirit of Tai Su," symbolizing the essential composition of all things and the initial gestation of life.

She had just merged with the essence of the Great Dao of Primordial Su, manifesting as a human-headed snake.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a surge of primordial energy pass by.

Nuwa slowly opened her eyes, her face full of confusion:
"The Chaos Lotus had not yet opened, and the true god Pangu had not appeared, so where did the light of Pangu's axe come from?"

After her search yielded no results, Nuwa stopped interfering and delving deeper.

After all, he was already inside the Chaos Green Lotus. If he explored it a bit more, what if he accidentally discovered the Great God Pangu? Wouldn't that get him struck by lightning?

"My plan isn't finished yet, I can't let it all fall apart like this."

Nuwa continued to focus on comprehending the Great Dao.

As she pondered and pondered, a flash of inspiration struck Nuwa.

"Since the great god Pangu hasn't appeared yet, can I create a Pangu myself?"

"If I were to create humans from clay, I would first create a Pangu. Wouldn't that make Pangu a 'human'?"

"At that time, humanity and the human race will naturally inherit the legacy of the Great God Pangu. Isn't that reasonable?"

What is the most important quality of a deity who accomplishes great things?
It's about execution!

Nuwa was bold and decisive.

She immediately took a handful of soil and began the great undertaking of creating a human!

You ask where the soil comes from?
Having mastered the "substance" of the origin of all things, let alone soil, Nuwa said she could even create a small primordial world from the Chaos Green Lotus!

~~~~
The Supreme Being transformed into the Taiji Spirit, representing the final formation of all things in the universe, encompassing all existence and non-existence, and symbolizing perfection and harmony.

In the chaotic space where he was, everything had evolved to the ultimate perfection and balance.

He integrated the essence of Tai Chi and, with the profound meaning of the Great Dao of "all things exist," truly created a world.

Here, there are towering sacred mountains, a rushing Milky Way, dazzling stars, vibrant plants and trees, various kinds of beasts and birds, and even the earliest prototypes of "innate beings" with nascent wisdom.

The supreme consciousness at this moment has transformed into the "non-action master" and "eternal balance" of this "Taiji universe".

He did not deliberately interfere with or control anything, but rather naturally maintained the harmonious operation and continuous life of this "Taiji Universe" with his "Tao follows nature, tranquility and non-action" Taiqing Great Way.

The Tai Chi diagram in his hand has now transformed into a Yin-Yang dividing line that spans the entire "Tai Chi Universe," as well as the "True Meaning of Tai Chi" that harmonizes all things and generates endless possibilities.

He is experiencing the final stage of the universe's complete evolution from "the initial matter and life" to "a complete world that encompasses everything".

“My Dao is the continuation of the beginning of the era and the end of all things. This Taiji body, which symbolizes the completion of the Great Dao, is quite in line with my state.”

"If I evolve a complete world within the Chaos Lotus, would that be considered the prototype of the primordial world?"

As Taishang walked through his own Taiji universe, he pondered: "Or rather, if I directly project everything from the primordial world back into chaos and achieve the status of a ruler here, would that be considered cheating?"

Just as Taishang was repeatedly deducing the Taiji universe and verifying his conjectures, the entire universe suddenly experienced a violent tremor.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The Supreme Being turned his head with a puzzled look.

In the endless darkness, an incomparably sharp axe light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the universe.

"boom!"

The immense power erupted, terrifying beyond compare, destroying everything in the entire Taiji universe in an instant.

"Pangu's axe!"

The Supreme Lord was dumbfounded and extremely shocked.

[I got punished by the Great God Pangu for cheating? No way!]

Just as Taishang was lost in thought, a passage gradually formed on the ruins of the collapsing universe.

"Fellow Daoist, I've come to visit!"

Xuan Qing walked out of the passage with a smile on his face: "I couldn't stop myself and used too much force. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

"Xuan Qing?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Taishang instantly regained his senses.

His face darkened, and he raised his hand to summon the Tai Chi diagram, then decisively charged forward.

"Xuanqing, what are you doing?!"

"I finally made up my mind to go for the big one."

"And then, in the blink of an eye, you pulled a huge stunt on me?"

Seeing his achievements turn into ruins, Tai Shang almost fainted.

Xuanqing pressed down on Taishang and said, "What are you doing tinkering around inside the Chaos Lotus? If you want something big, you have to go to the Chaos!"

Taishang looked at Xuanqing suspiciously: "What idea have you come up with this time?"

"not yet."

Xuan Qing waved the Pangu Banner in his hand and laughed, "But with this, it's still very easy for us to get out."

“Alright, then call my third brother.” Taishang said.

"Sure."

Xuanqing said, "I will open the passage, and you will use the Taiji diagram to hold it in place. This time, try to make as little noise as possible."

"Row!"

So the two of them worked together to open up the Primordial Space.

"boom!!"

Axe light soared into the sky, Tai Chi symbolized suppression.

The more than 99,000 avatars of Daoist Yu Chen were instantly reduced to nothingness.

Yu Chen: "???"

Seeing the bewildered Daoist, Taishang felt much better.

"Third brother, don't just stand there, let's go out!"

Xuanqing patted Yu Chen Daojun on the shoulder and pressed down on the Qingping Sword that the other was about to draw.

"Okay!" Yu Chen nodded.

After Sanqing quietly slipped out.

Surprisingly, two more wills awakened within the Chaos Green Lotus.

"Huh? Senior brother, we actually succeeded!"

One of his wills was overjoyed.

"It actually worked!"

Another will also expressed its joy, saying, "Junior brother, you've done a great service this time!"

Zhunti humbly replied, "Not at all, it's all thanks to my senior brother's reminder. Otherwise, how would I have thought of the lotus transformation method?"

The Heavenly Emperor said that by exploiting the power of the Great God Pangu, one could obtain Pangu's legacy and acquire a legitimate identity, which would greatly increase the probability of breaking through to the Taiyi realm.

At that time, Zhunti and Jieyin proposed the "Great Vow" method based on this plan.

However, they did not give up on the option of Pangu's legacy.

After the Zixiao Palace Conference, Zhunti and Jieyin have been exploring how to obtain the identity of Pangu's true lineage.

During a sermon at Mount Sumeru, Cundi, sitting on a golden lotus of merit, came up with a solution.

Who says that the true identity of Pangu must be traced back to the original Pangu?

If I were to use the power of the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit to return directly to the Chaos Era and become part of the Chaos Green Lotus, how would you respond?

In this way, isn't this also related to the god Pangu?

Who can say we are not the true descendants of Pangu?
