Chapter 670: Primordial Chaos, the Dragon Ancestor's Dao Transforms

"Yuan Huang can actually fight Fuxi to a draw?!"

"Xihuang's letting off is also too fake, you say it is?"

Far away on the other side of the starry sky, there is another grand confrontation.

The Zhulong Great Sage, who alternates day and night, and the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage, who commands the dragons and slays the starry sky, the two dragons side by side, combine their Dao, originally possessing invincible divine might, defeating anyone they meet instantly.

However, the good days didn't last long—just a blink—when Dijiang was pulled away by Báizé, they quickly ran into a tough opponent—the Donghuang Yao Shi team; after the brief clash, both sides felt the opponent's toughness, stood opposite each other warily, and secretly gathered strength.

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage spouted nonsense, intending to distract the opponent, bringing up Fuxi's battle with the Phoenix to create an opportunity.

"Who said Xihuang Majesty let off water? I'm the first to disagree! Isn't this slandering his character?!"

The Kunpeng Yao Shi spoke with righteous conviction, his words so upright and proper that even Taiyi took notice.

"Stay calm, stay calm."

Kunpeng, facing his teammates' doubts, simply explained in two sentences: "He is still Xihuang, not the Qingdi; dragging away an opponent for us… that's already enough."

"After all, it's probably because Princess Nüwa's performance was too outstanding, shocking even August Emperor Majesty, worrying that Nüwa, with her victorious momentum, would commit atrocities……"

The Yao Shi spoke on, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.

"Too outstanding is also a mistake." Taiyi chuckled, lightly struck the Chaos Bell; its waves, billions of layers, swept across this starry sky, "but that's also the case."

"Nüwa this time is truly brilliant!"

"After enduring hundreds of millions of years, a sudden uprising aims to overturn heaven and earth, change the colors of Qian and Kun, and shock countless people."

"Ah......"

Taiyi's tone was inexplicable, seemingly mixed with various inexpressible complex emotions, including admiration and reverence.

Nüwa appeared and preached, using her actions to tell the many Great Luo Divine Saints who had great mountains pressing on their heads——

Is there any seed in the order of seniority?!

Of course, respect is respect, but what ought to be resisted must still be firmly resisted.

The Wu Clan charged into the ancient starry sky; as Donghuang, he must certainly retaliate at any cost!

"A pity."

"Nüwa's aspirations and methods earn my admiration…… but our paths differ, we cannot plot together."

"You Wu Clan want to annihilate the Demon Race and sweep the starry sky, but you still have to get past me!"

Donghuang finished speaking, when the Chaos Bell suddenly burst with a sound; a peerless Chaos silk swept across the surrounding spacetime, reducing everything to nothingness!

Moreover, between existence and non-existence, the bell seemed blurred and hazy, as if reflecting a descent of the most ancient Chaos.

——That is true Chaos!

——It is the primordial, even the foundation of Honghuang's basis, that piece of Chaos!

This truly represents the superimposed infinite possibilities, a mysterious and strange phenomenon that moved both the Zhulong Great Sage and the Dragon Ancestor Great Sage.

"This Chaos…… I never expected, I never expected!"

The Zhulong Great Sage let out a long sigh: "In this supreme treasure, traces of the ancient battles and slaughter are actually retained, their condensed imprint within."

This ancient time deity, with a complex and solemn expression, slowly clenched his fist, an indescribable seriousness; his entire essence rose to its peak, as if daring not to be the slightest bit careless.

"The Chaos that nurtured the primordial Pangu…… the Chaos before Honghuang proved the Dao as Great Luo and before the inversion of cause and effect!"

The Dragon Ancestor Great Sage was also surprised, but soon laughed: "Great! Great! This is getting interesting!"

"Nüwa harmonizes creation, adding a touch of dragon nature to all myriad beings; the brief 'everyone is a dragon' has elevated me to an unprecedented pinnacle."

"Let me gauge this ancient Dao trace long covered, to see what realm I have reached!"

The Dragon Ancestor was strengthened.

Thus he was full of ambition and hesitation.

"Then please." Taiyi lowered his eyelids slightly; the ancient Dao rhythm covered over, giving this place an aura of utmost antiquity.

Supreme Emperor, most exalted, highest and supreme, many yaogods and great wus were stirred, glancing here amid the battles, their expressions not entirely complex, with nostalgia and sighs.

Therein lies stored the many deities' most steadfast, most brilliant, most striving, most blood-soaked past!

People say the Great Luo Dao Realm is supreme and unsurpassed, the inversion of cause and effect is profoundly mysterious and infinite.

And Pangu, moreover, is the ultimate achiever within the Great Luo Realm, representing the extreme.

The Honghuang heavens and earth are likewise equivalent to such attainment, completely mastering creation from nothing; thus no calamity can destroy it, it endures eternally.

But few know…… what exactly is the origin of this inversion of cause and effect, this primordial source?

That is a sheet of the most hazy, most ancient, most terrifying primordial Chaos.

In this Chaos, everything is possible.

Yes, everything is possible.

Because there, the Dao is not yet Dao; all things are the most basic particles, moving without any fundamental rules.

Amid the utmost strangeness and anomaly, randomly combined particles often produce various wonders—because within infinite motion and change, there is always hope; collisions combine to form a suitable 'law,' thus giving birth to something.

Just as in mortal reasoning, give a monkey a computer, let it randomly strike the keyboard; if the attempts are infinite, it might not be unable to type a world-famous work.

Without a doubt, Chaos is very patient…… or rather, compared to humans, it has no worry about patience.

In the infinite changes, at some coincidence.

Honghuang…… was born.

Correct.

The birth of Honghuang actually does not require Pangu's opening.

Or rather, the primordial 'Pangu' is merely that coincidence which later beings 'forcibly named as the Dao'!

This coincidence represents a definite order, the regulation that supports and sustains Honghuang's operation.

However, such regulation, relative to the primordial Chaos, is not strong enough.

One day, Honghuang will perish—relative to the entirety of Chaos's change history, like a bubble that dissipates and ceases to exist.

No one can say clearly how many similar cosmic coincidences like "Honghuang" were born in Chaos before Honghuang, then silently vanished, as fragile as the ignorant beings of primitive tribes facing unstoppable heavenly disasters, disappearing without a sound.

Only here in Honghuang did the most sacred change occur.

The opening of the world does not need Pangu, but its continuation does.

Just as the birth of a clan does not need a hero, but its continuation does!

The "hero" of Honghuang is precisely Pangu!

It is those who cultivate the "Yi" and stand on Honghuang's foundation who have "seized" from Chaos the essence of infinite possibilities, thereby condensing the principle of inverted causality and eternal freedom, spreading this civilization's brilliance across heaven and earth, carrying the human essence of their supporters, embracing countless beings, and launching the greatest assault on Chaos!

Just as mortals reshape the world, turning heaven and earth into the form they need.

Thus Chaos was defeated, swallowed by Honghuang, order overwhelmed change, stability suppressing everything.

Even Honghuang's beginning was covered!

Finally, there came Pangu's myth, the transcendence of Daluo, and Honghuang's eternity.

These are the most splendid medals of merit, engraved with the true intent of the primordial divine!

That was the era when myriad gods fought bloodily, despite mutual friction, but overall they all strove for Honghuang's eternity.

Pouring out life's hot blood, staking everything, not sparing the sacrifice of falling into slumber...

When the Chaos Bell reveals the past, it is the trophies and mementos sealed by the first "hero," Pangu, and many divine faces show a wistful expression.

That was an age of struggle, and also an age of united hearts.

Alas, it's all gone now.

When there are no external foes.

For their own ideas, thoughts, paths, or perhaps just sitting in a row sharing fruit, they drew weapons against each other, and internal strife thus frequently arose.

The Heavenly Court's camp wanted to selectively alter some original intentions, establish the order of profit-sharing, and guarantee overall stability.

The Wu Clan's camp, some dissatisfied with the outcome, some questioning the Heavenly Court's actions, resolutely launched a purge, seeking to overthrow heaven with manpower!

At this moment, the clash of Dragon Ancestor and the Eastern Emperor was like a concentrated deduction, drawing too many gazes.

"In the previous era, my 'Everyone as Dragon' Way lost."

The Great Sage Azure Dragon raised both hands, gathering the boundless power of the dragon multitude, stirring the surging of the human path... Facing the imprint of primordial Chaos evolved by Taiyi, after his surprise he had boundless fighting spirit; from his gaze one could see his blood boiling with passion, "Thus, as Heavenly Emperor, the one who went to battle Chaos was August Emperor."

"This time I finally seized the opportunity... Nüwa finally wasn't wasting her gift, becoming a reliable teammate!"

"Then I will use this strength, this path, to reclaim my past loss, the regret of being unable to lead the human campaign against Chaos!"

"Exactly!"

"You have displayed that mark!"

"I! Will! Tear! It! Apart!"

"Pangu's form may not be unable to be a dragon!"

The Azure Dragon Great Sage's figure swelled wildly, towering without equal.

He embraced the hearts and thoughts of all dragons beneath heaven, instantly transforming into splendid radiance and charging toward Taiyi!

At this moment, the starry heavens shook violently, all things collapsed!

"Marvelous divine ability!"

Taiyi's face grew solemn, he clapped and sighed, "Unworthy of no comparison to the former supreme overlord; this spirit and will are indeed extraordinary!"

The Eastern Emperor loudly praised Dragon Ancestor.

However, this does not mean he admits defeat.

"Merely, wanting to shatter Chaos with this... is a delusion."

"You wish everyone to be like a dragon, but have you asked... what 'everyone' means?"

"Chaos alone is the heart's home."

Taiyi's eyes shone clear, "No one can bind the heart of the human path."

"Honghuang reversed and swallowed Chaos... but Chaos never perishes, merely changes its form."

"Give the future boundless possibility—this is great freedom, great liberation."

"So, if everyone is like a dragon, then there must be... a host of dragons without a leader!"

"Azure!"

"Are you ready to make the sacrifice!"

Taiyi seemed to be expounding, seemed to be persuading.

And in his words, that misty form of the Chaos Bell transformed Chaos, suddenly bursting apart, infinitely proliferating, embracing and leaping upon the scroll of ages; myriad worlds and countless universes therein floated like dust, yet under the transcendent law coalesced into one.

Its magnificence and vastness condensed the multiversal sea of Myriad Heavens, life and death fading like bubbles, reflecting the bewildering red dust of the human path; with a snap of the fingers it rolled up ancient history, unfurling into a picture of all ages, only the Eastern Emperor wielding brush and ink to write splendid chapters.

Dragon Ancestor rode the Great Dao of Everyone as a Dragon, transforming into brilliant immortal light, charging therein, yet like entering a vat, falling into confusion... the ground he stood on underwent tremendous spacetime change, past and present inverted, order shifted, illusion veiled reality, step by step lethal danger.

"Pangu's profundity?"

The Candle Dragon Great Sage, confronting the Kunpeng Demon Master, changed expression, suddenly turned, and flicked a finger—

"Hiss!"

The divine light of ages flowed, penetrating past and future, seeking to sever spring and autumn, cut off time, to lend Azure Dragon aiding strength.

"Hold on, Candle Dragon fellow daoist!"

The Kunpeng Demon Master laughed ha ha, flipped his palm to suppress and depart, he rolled the myriad ways of the universe like water, swept over the ancient vastness like wind, wind and water harmonized, in the flux of birth and death he possessed supreme speed, pressing onward, causing the Ancient God Candle Dragon to groan, forced to withdraw most of his divine abilities and take up defense.

Throughout the process, his face bore worry.

Indeed, the explosion of the Chaos Bell was too terrifying!

—-It actually involved Pangu's subtle profundity!

Even if this power is weak, far from comparable to the true Pangu.

But similar in conception, reshaping ancient history, inverting being and non-being, this is a great terror!

That's right.

Zhulong sighed lightly in his heart, and suddenly came to realize.

This bell contains the memorial of that ancient war, imprinting part of the Dao traces...

Back then, even Chaos required Pangu to wage war; who knows how long the ages turned before victory was finally won.

Just see how terrifying it is!

Even if now only Dao traces remain here, a memory... possessing such power is not surprising.

Dragon Ancestor...

You mustn't get killed here!

Zhulong the Great Sage harbored worries in his heart.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi is no easier to deal with than the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun!

Di Jun wields the Slaughter-Witch Sword, said to be a specially designed extermination against humans.

And Taiyi holds a great secret of Chaos, possessing the profundity of Pangu; in fact, it's even more terrifying!

However, facts show that Zhulong may have worried too much.

When the scroll of ages is overturned and myriad universes turn to Chaos, seeking to refine even nothingness...

Hiss—

Suddenly, a sound of tearing cloth arose, shaking ancient and modern.

Yet amid the haze, a blood-drenched true dragon strides forth, incomparably heroic and valiant, with soaring fighting spirit, making the myriad gods tremble.

That is the Dragon Ancestor.

He pierced through the myriad-ages scroll and leapt out from within!

Taiyi!

The Dragon Ancestor roared, his whole body drenched in blood, revealing even greater heroic might: 'You hold this fragment of Chaos, yet what can you do to me?'

You cannot suppress me!

The Dragon Ancestor roared, the heavens in all directions trembled, on the verge of collapse; the foundations of the Heavenly Stars and Dipper Great Array were shaken, and at this moment his domineering might was beyond belief.

I am no longer what I once was!

Everyone becomes a dragon... Do you really think I am stuck in the past, merely using the same old tricks?

It's just to deceive you; my Dao has long since changed!
