My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

The unusual movement of Pangu's true form stunned everyone.

A vast, boundless, and ancient aura emanated from Pangu's true form, echoing Meng Chuan's Great Dao of Power.

"What...what's going on?!"

Di Jun stood at the eye of the Zhou Tian Star Array, gazing at Meng Chuan's location, his expression changing drastically!

He could clearly sense that the aura of Pangu's true form was resonating with Meng Chuan in some strange way.

This resonance caused Meng Chuan's aura to surge wildly!

"impossible!"

Taiyi's pupils contracted further, his voice changed, and he completely lost his composure, "How could Pangu's true form resonate with Meng Chuan?! And of all times, at this moment!!"

He was closest to Meng Chuan and could feel the terror of that aura most keenly.

It was a pure and extreme power aura, seemingly from the very beginning of creation.

Its aura is almost identical to that of Pangu's true form!

"Father God..."

Yuanshi's face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with disbelief.

As one of the Three Pure Ones transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, he is most sensitive to the aura of Pangu.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that Meng Chuan's aura had resonated with the true form of Pangu at a certain level.

The feeling was as if Meng Chuan was the true successor of Pangu, while Yuan Shi was nothing but an imposter!

"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"

Yuanshi roared inwardly, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

He is the true descendant of Pangu!

He is the true manifestation of the Father God's original spirit!

This Meng Chuan is merely a person with an innate Dao body; how could he possibly gain the Father God's approval?!

Nuwa stood to the side, watching Meng Chuan's aura surge, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

Although she was not a direct descendant of Pangu, she could still sense the vastness and purity of that aura.

She felt a vague unease.

……

In the distance, the powerful figures who had been watching were now in an uproar!

"What's going on?! Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan's aura... how did it suddenly surge so much?!"

"Pangu's true form...is resonating with him?!"

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan is a descendant of Pangu?!"

"Impossible! The Great God Pangu has already transformed into all things, how could he have a successor?"

"But if he wasn't a successor, why would Pangu's true form resonate with him?! Moreover, I heard that when he attained the Dao at the half-step Hunyuan realm and stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm, he also resonated with the will of Pangu at Buzhou Mountain!!"

Amidst the murmurs, Ran Deng beamed with pride: "As expected of the teacher I, Ran Deng, have chosen, truly extraordinary!"

His resolve to curry favor with Meng Chuan grew stronger.

The Eastern King and the Western Queen Mother exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Laozi gazed at the Pangu true form in the distance that resonated with Meng Chuan, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Tongtian stood beside him, looking at Meng Chuan, whose aura was surging in the distance, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He exclaimed "Good!" three times, his face beaming with delight. "I knew it! Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan is no ordinary person! To resonate with the true form of the Father God—this is the true successor of Pangu!"

He glanced at Laozi beside him, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Brother, don't you think so?"

Lao Tzu did not answer; he simply stood there quietly, as if he had not heard anything.

……

On the battlefield.

Meng Chuan's feelings were clearer than anyone else's.

Pangu's true form was realizing that his Dao of Power was being suppressed, to the point that he "couldn't stand it anymore"!

The great path of power must not be dishonored!

The moment Pangu's true form resonated with him, he felt as if his Dao of Power had been infused with a completely new force.

It was a vast, boundless, and ancient power, seemingly originating from the beginning of creation, from the majestic figure wielding a giant axe and cleaving through chaos.

The insights into the Great Way of Power flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

Those previously unclear bottlenecks suddenly loosened up at this moment.

His cultivation level began to soar at an alarming rate!

Mid-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation, consolidated to its ultimate level!

Mid-stage Quasi-Saint level, fully achieved!

And then...

boom--!!

A terrifying aura, far surpassing anything seen before, erupted from Meng Chuan's body and soared into the sky!

At that moment, he felt that he had touched the threshold of the late stage of Quasi-Saint!

Just one more step forward, and you will officially step into that realm!

However, just as he was about to take that step—

An invisible force descended from the heavens and crashed down on him!

That power was vast, cold, and merciless, as if the will of the entire world was rejecting and suppressing him!

The will of Heaven!

Meng Chuan's cultivation was abruptly suppressed just before he was about to break through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint!

Ultimately, his cultivation level stopped at the peak of the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm, just one step away from the late-stage Quasi-Saint realm.

But this line seems like an insurmountable chasm, impossible to cross.

"Is the will of Heaven... suppressing me?"

Meng Chuan looked up at the heavens above, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.

He got it.

This is a "restriction" that Hongjun set for all living beings in the primordial world after merging with the Heavenly Dao.

Restrictions on those who seek enlightenment through the Great Path of Laws!

The further you go, the stronger the restrictions become!

He originally felt that the late stage of Quasi-Saint was within his grasp, but under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao's will, he could only reach the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint for the time being!

Of course, this doesn't mean he won't be able to reach the late stage of Quasi-Saint in the future.

It just requires more accumulation to break the shackles set by the Heavenly Dao in one fell swoop.

The Heavenly Dao can only make some "small moves" under the nose of the Great Dao now. As long as it accumulates enough, it can still break through to the next level!

He knew in his heart that this meant the Way of Heaven was not yet fully perfect.

If Heaven truly makes Earth and Humanity its appendages, thus achieving ultimate completeness—

At that time, the Heavenly Way will be almost equivalent to the Great Way!

Under the will of Heaven, let alone wanting to walk the path of laws to prove one's Dao and become a Great Dao Saint... even wanting to attain half a step of Hunyuan and become a Quasi-Saint of laws would be difficult!

"What a magnificent Heavenly Dao! What a magnificent Hongjun!"

Meng Chuan sneered inwardly, "That's really... domineering enough!"

"No wonder that in the primordial wilderness, not only the underground tunnels, but also the later human path, became resources and appendages of the Heavenly Dao!"

In the primordial world, the Great Dao reigns supreme.

Under normal circumstances—

Under the Great Dao, the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man stand side by side, each performing its own duties and governing the operation of the primordial world.

The Way of Heaven governs the heavens, and controls the order of time, destiny, and cause and effect;

The earth governs the land, bearing all things, and subjecting them to the cycle of life and death;

Humanity governs all living beings, ensuring their continuous reproduction and the flow of fortune.

Beyond the three paths, are there three thousand Great Laws? Originating from the three thousand chaotic demons and gods before Pangu created the world…

Every law and path can lead directly to a Great Sage!

Those who cultivate the laws of the Great Dao can attain the status of a Great Dao Saint, transcending the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and are no longer governed by them, existing in harmony with the Great Dao.

Saints who achieve sainthood through the Primordial Purple Qi of the Heavenly Dao are merely pawns in the hands of the Heavenly Dao.

The Primordial Purple Qi is both the foundation for becoming a saint and a shackle of the Heavenly Dao.

Those who obtain the purple aura, upon achieving sainthood, must entrust their primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao, be governed by the Heavenly Dao, and be used by the Heavenly Dao.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti are all like this.

They will later become both Heavenly Saints and the "biggest pawns" under the hands of the Supreme Saint Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao.

Hongjun himself, however, was a Great Dao Saint.

At the very beginning of creation, he had already attained the half-step Primordial Chaos Realm and become a Quasi-Saint.

After the conflict between Dao and Demon, he successfully attained the Dao of Hunyuan and became a Great Dao Saint.

After becoming a saint, he accumulated a vast amount of merit through three sermons at Zixiao Palace. In addition, he took the Three Pure Ones as his disciples and sought to seize their merits as the primordial spirit of Pangu in creating the world...

Only by possessing sufficient merit and virtue can one unite with the Heavenly Dao, become a supreme saint of the Heavenly Dao, and act on behalf of Heaven!

According to Meng Chuan's knowledge:

In the primordial wilderness, Hongjun, in order to make the Heavenly Dao the supreme of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, gradually devoured the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao through successive great calamities to complete himself.

The Lich War forced Houtu to reincarnate and perfect the Earthly Path, but it also made the Earthly Path an appendage of the Heavenly Path.

In the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, he made humanity completely a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.

After that, the Heavenly Way became almost synonymous with the Great Way.

All living beings in the primordial world have no chance of transcending this fate!

Now, the path that Meng Chuan is leading the Wu Clan on is the true path to independence.

He wanted to make Houtu the ultimate saint of the earth, on par with Hongjun, so that the earth could truly be independent of the heavenly way and check the power of the heavenly way!

At that time, Houtu will also be able to share power and create several sages of the earth.

He has promised one of the positions of a sage to the Styx.

Of course, just as the Heavenly Sage is restrained by Hongjun, the Earthly Sage is also restrained by Houtu.

This is the rule of the Tao, and no one can change it!

As for the sanctity of humanity... Meng Chuan did consider trying to win it over with the help of the prophet!

But he knew in his heart that he couldn't stay in the prehistoric world forever, and that he probably wouldn't live to see that day!

Who knows, one day I might be forcibly teleported back to Earth.
