Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 16 Comprehending the Laws of Time, Taihao Enters the Great Tribulation

Taihao came here indeed for this law.

But that doesn't mean he has to listen to that voice.

Moreover, something about what it said seemed off.

"Isn't the supreme law only the law of force? When did it become the law of time? Are you trying to fool me?" Taihao asked calmly.

Upon hearing this question, the voice stopped abruptly, as if it had paused for a moment.

Then came a deafening roar.

"What are the laws of force! The supreme law is time! If there were no time, how could Pangu have been conceived in the chaos!"

Taihao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Before he arrived, he had guessed that this person must be some kind of dead demon god, and now it seemed that his identity was obvious.

Time Demon God!

A Chaos God whose strength ranks among the top three in the Chaos Realm!

However, what it said at that moment made Taihao slightly puzzled.

Chaos is a hazy void. Since its emergence, it has had no concept of time or space. It is both nothingness and form, making it one of the most contradictory and mysterious concepts in the world.

Second only to the Great Way!

But judging from what Shichen said at this moment, it doesn't seem to be entirely true?

Just as Taihao was about to tentatively inquire, the other side seemed to fall into a rage, and even the surrounding environment began to change.

The spiritual energy clouds gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again.

The space was sometimes stable and sometimes swaying.

Sometimes it shows a hazy image from before the creation of the world, and sometimes it reflects the changes of time countless years later.

Even Taihao himself felt a little affected.

"This is the true law of time; with every thought and movement, the world changes. It's something that Zhulong, with his half-baked methods, can't possibly compare to! And the reason this chaotic spiritual energy hasn't been assimilated by the primordial world might be because he's rewinding time!"

The power of the remnant soul of time is enough to affect the entire Thirty-Three Heavens!

As expected of a top-tier Chaos Demon God!

Then the voice rang out again, still filled with rage.

"Pangu was born only after countless eons of his own existence. How could he possibly be ahead of us in the path of the Dao? How could he possess so many primordial treasures? I am not reconciled. I will rebuild my Dao body and prove the Great Dao once more!"

"I want to turn back time to before the creation of the world! I want to fight Pangu again!"

"My understanding of the Dao of Time is no weaker than any other Dao principle!"

"You're going to die!"

Swish!

Before Shichen could finish speaking, a whooshing sound immediately rang out from all around.

Suddenly, Taihao had a long ruler in his hand.

This is the Primordial Measuring Ruler!

when!

Another bell rang, and a large bell with incredibly intricate Daoist patterns suddenly appeared above Taihao's head.

This is the Chaos Bell!

Taihao has decided to take action!

"You...you actually know the Law of Power!"

The remnant soul of Shichen was clearly stunned for a moment, but then burst into laughter, a loud and unrestrained laugh.

"Okay, okay!"

"So you are the successor of Pangu? Very well! I'll start by dealing with you!"

Shi Chen said, his voice filled with murderous intent.

"Stop talking nonsense, I need your time laws!"

Hundreds of millions of star particles around Taihao flickered in unison, the laws of fire, deduction, cause and effect, and force roared together, the Measuring Ruler and the Chaos Bell vibrated together, and his innate divine power, the vast and righteous energy, burst forth without any restraint.

Finally, Taihao uttered eight words, which sounded like the supreme Daoist chant.

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless!"

In an instant, everything seemed to disappear.

Regardless of time, space, or fate and cause and effect.

Along with it, the remnant soul of Shichen also disappeared!

It has completely fallen!

However, something was left behind in the restricted center.

That was a fragment!

A fragment of a law!

It's not the law of time!

But...

The Law of Time!

……

The fragments of the laws were right before him, but Taihao was not in a hurry to comprehend them.

He was checking whether any remnants of the soul still existed at the appointed time.

Shichen is a top-tier Chaos Demon God who has lived through countless eons. He possesses an unimaginable number of abilities. Even with only a wisp of his remnant soul remaining, he can still spread "opportunities" to the outside world across the Thirty-Three Heavens, despite the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

So I have to guard against it.

"The Heaven-Opening Divine Power is indeed domineering! Even a time-long period couldn't withstand it, although it was just a wisp of its remnant soul! It's still terrifying enough! It's just... the consumption is a bit too great?"

The so-called consumption does not refer to vital energy or magical power.

It refers to the primordial spirit!

Taihao discovered that his divine sense had shrunk, and its range of extension had narrowed.

Although it is only temporary, it will recover in hundreds of years.

But that's enough to illustrate the point.

"With this righteous spirit within me, my vital energy and magical power are virtually inexhaustible... but my physical body and primordial spirit are ultimately flawed!"

Taihao gradually came to understand.

"However, now is not the time to dwell on this. It would be better to first comprehend this law of time."

After setting up a large array, Taihao entered a state of cultivation.

[You have gained some insight into the fragments of the Time Law; you have now grasped the Time Law (30%).]

You have grasped the laws of time, gained profound insight, and mastered the Great Technique of Time!

……

The fragments left behind after the remnant soul of the hour dissipated were extremely profound, requiring even Taihao to comprehend them for a long time.

He stayed in the Thirty-Three Heavens for a full ten Yuanhui before he could fully digest the contents!

"After ten eons of arduous cultivation, today we have finally reaped the fruits of our practice!"

As he spoke, Taihao seemed to want to test the power of the laws of time.

Then, with a thought, the laws of time began to operate, and the surrounding environment instantly began to change, sometimes still, sometimes accelerating, and sometimes slowing down.

It can be described as extremely profound.

However, Taihao had only just mastered the laws of time. Although it took him longer, it might not be as effective as the laws of cause and effect he had come to understand through enlightenment.

Therefore, he can only control the flow of time, but cannot reverse time on a large scale.

"Excellent, having found this method makes the trip worthwhile!"

Taihao smiled slightly.

Afterwards, Taihao withdrew from his cultivation state and focused his attention on the primordial world.

After all, this is his home turf.

Then, upon his investigation, he couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

"The malevolent aura has spread to such an extent?"

At this moment, the air was thick with the aura of primordial ferocity.

Compared to before Taihao's enlightenment, it is several times more concentrated!

Clearly, the primordial calamity has begun, and the final catastrophe of the Dragon-Han Great Calamity is about to erupt!

On the surface, the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation is a struggle for supremacy among the three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, vying for destiny. In reality, it is a battle between Hongjun and Luohou for who will be the representative of the Heavenly Dao.

"How can I refuse this spokesperson candidate? Communicate with the will of Heaven? But why is there no reaction? Not to mention I'm currently in the Thirty-Third Heaven, the closest place in the Primordial World to the Heavenly Dao!"

For some unknown reason, Taihao found that he could not seem to get a response when he tried to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, which puzzled him greatly.

"Why is this? Is it because the Heavenly Dao has not yet been perfected?"

"But I'm a candidate, shouldn't I get some special treatment?"

"Or is it that once you become a candidate, you can't refuse?"

Thinking of this, Taihao couldn't help but frown.

I'm having some trouble.

Because this means he has to participate in the Great Tribulation, and fight a fierce battle with two ruthless figures, Hongjun and Luohou, in a life-or-death struggle!

He couldn't refuse to fight, because those two wouldn't stop targeting him just because he said "the position of the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao." They might even join forces to eliminate this uncertain factor first, and then the two of them would fight for it.

Once the thought arises, it cannot be stopped.

Taihao thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.

After all, Hongjun and Luohou had been fighting for many years and knew each other very well. In comparison, Taihao was an uncertain factor! Taihao put himself in Hongjun's shoes and thought about it. If he were Hongjun and Luohou, he would definitely join forces without hesitation!

Taihao gasped.

His heart, which had always been calm and composed, suddenly began to stir.

He even exclaimed a curse he hadn't used in over ten eons, to show how unsettled he was.

Holy crap!

"Truly, those who do not enter the Primordial Chaos are destined to be nothing more than ants! Even a benevolent person like myself, one of the greatest in the primordial world, cannot remain uninvolved and is forced to enter this calamity..."

"How many people in the entire primordial world could escape?"

"Is this what a great calamity is? How terrifying!"

Taihao couldn't help but sigh.

He was confident he could hold his own against either Hongjun or Luohou, and with a bit of luck, he might even have a slight advantage. But what if those two joined forces...?

Then Taihao lost confidence that he could withstand it.

Because whether it's their background, opportunities, or supernatural powers and magical treasures, they are no less than Taihao.

However, since we've entered into this predicament, we must find a way to resolve it.

As the saying goes, fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of fortune. If things are handled well, calamity may not be unable to be turned into opportunity.

After much deliberation, Taihao decided to start by thwarting Luohou's conspiracy.

After all, he and Rahu were inherently incompatible and already had conflicts; Hongjun could still try to communicate with them. Moreover, Rahu's defeat and death were the inevitable course of history!

"In that case, let's first see if we can resolve the conflict between the three races..."

"Let's make the first stop the Dragon Clan!"
