Chapter 1035: Pangu

Releasing a trace of Pangu's divine aura, Ancestor Hongjun has not yet fully mastered the Dao of Heaven; the Dao of Heaven still retains some autonomous awareness.

The Dao of Heaven created by Pangu would never attack Pangu's descendants without cause.

Luo Fu's voice echoed in the minds of the Twelve Ancestral Wus.

Hearing Luo Fu's command, the Twelve Ancestral Wus hesitated not at all, and once again activated the Twelve Celestial Bloodshed Array; boundless bloodshed qi surged toward the heavens.

Roar!

Under the control of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the colossal Pangu body condensed from the Twelve Celestial Bloodshed Array suddenly let out a deafening roar, and a terrifying trace of Pangu's aura blasted directly toward the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Sensing this aura, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, just about to unleash its heavenly punishment thunder, suddenly stalled like an old car.

The Primordial World was forged by Pangu.

And in the end, Pangu chose to sacrifice his body to the Dao, merging all of himself into the Primordial World.

In essence, every blade of grass and tree in the Primordial World carries Pangu's aura.

The Dao of Heaven was born from the Primordial World.

In a certain sense, Pangu can be regarded as the father of the Dao of Heaven.

The Dao of Heaven is perfectly impartial and possesses no emotion.

Yet toward the Pangu who gave birth to it, the Dao of Heaven naturally feels kinship.

If the Twelve Ancestral Wus truly defied the Dao of Heaven, the Dao of Heaven would show them no mercy.

Unless the Twelve Ancestral Wus summon Pangu's will, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment would still mercilessly unleash heavenly punishment thunder, instantly striking them dead.

But the problem is, the Twelve Ancestral Wus have not defied the Dao of Heaven.

Death and resurrection are not forbidden.

As long as you possess sufficient power, you may resurrect anyone you wish.

Resurrection itself requires a sufficient price.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment need not collect that price.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment appears solely due to Ancestor Hongjun's will.

It is Ancestor Hongjun who desires the death of the Twelve Ancestral Wus.

If Ancestor Hongjun had fully mastered the Dao of Heaven, invoking the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to punish Luo Fu and the Twelve Ancestral Wus would pose no issue.

At that time, Ancestor Hongjun would be the will of the Dao of Heaven.

Defying Ancestor Hongjun's will would be equivalent to defying the Dao of Heaven's will.

But Ancestor Hongjun has not yet fully mastered the Dao of Heaven; the Dao of Heaven still retains some autonomous will.

Yet the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness has been slowly eroded by Ancestor Hongjun and has lost its dominant position.

Compared to Ancestor Hongjun, the Dao of Heaven's awareness resembles a mechanical program—naturally incapable of resisting Ancestor Hongjun's erosion.

Now, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness has been almost entirely suppressed by Ancestor Hongjun, and for the most part remains sealed.

That is to say, the dominant authority of the Dao of Heaven has almost entirely fallen into Ancestor Hongjun's hands.

"Almost" is not "absolute."

The Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness is its true master.

Before Ancestor Hongjun fully masters the Dao of Heaven, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness retains the highest priority.

If the Dao of Heaven possessed wisdom, it would still wage struggle against Ancestor Hongjun.

Unfortunately, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness lacks wisdom.

As long as Ancestor Hongjun does nothing that violates the Dao of Heaven, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness cannot possibly act against him.

With Ancestor Hongjun's ongoing erosion.

Now, as long as Ancestor Hongjun does nothing that threatens the stability of the Primordial World—such as simultaneously killing six Saints or annihilating the entire human race—the suppressed autonomous awareness of the Dao of Heaven will not intervene.

It is not that the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness wishes to intervene, but that it cannot even detect Ancestor Hongjun's actions.

Ancestor Hongjun, having seized vast dominance, can now blind the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness to his deeds.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment appearing from beyond the heavens is formed from the Dao of Heaven's rules, and naturally contains a portion of the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness.

Yet, under Ancestor Hongjun's seal, this awareness remains completely locked.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment is guided by Ancestor Hongjun's will.

Under normal circumstances, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness would remain sealed indefinitely.

After so many Meduoyuan Societies of erosion, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness has long been unable to resist Ancestor Hongjun's methods.

But this time, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment targets the Twelve Ancestral Wus—and the Twelve Ancestral Wus can summon a trace of Pangu's aura.

The Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness was born from the Dao of Heaven and inherits all its qualities, including Pangu's aura.

The appearance of Pangu's aura stimulated the sealed Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness.

The instant it sensed Pangu's aura, all of Ancestor Hongjun's methods imposed upon the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness failed.

The Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness restored itself instantly.

Upon regaining normal function, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness immediately realized that the appearance of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment violated the Dao of Heaven's operation.

The execution of the Twelve Ancestral Wus contradicts the operational logic of the Dao of Heaven.

Thus, a conflict erupted between the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness and Ancestor Hongjun's will.

Though the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness is inferior to Ancestor Hongjun, it was born of the Dao of Heaven and holds far higher priority.

In its struggle against Ancestor Hongjun, the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness naturally holds advantage.

It was suppressed only because Ancestor Hongjun possesses wisdom and can employ various methods to prevent the Dao of Heaven's autonomous awareness from exercising its dominance, thereby slowly eroding its authority.

But under current circumstances, the stimulation of Pangu's aura has temporarily nullified Ancestor Hongjun's methods.

More importantly, Ancestor Hongjun's actions precisely violate the operational logic of the Dao of Heaven.

In other words, Ancestor Hongjun has broken the rules.
