Chapter 257

Blinding Heavenly Dao purple light burst open like the sun, the surging Pangu's divine power followed, rippling out; under the divine power of 'that breaks all myriad laws', the incoming Chaos seemed like snow, rapidly 'melting'!

Wherever the great hand of divine power reached, the Chaos there would 'dissipate' into nothingness; the invaded space of heaven and earth reappeared, followed by countless infinitesimal material particles…… They had originally been evenly scattered in the Chaos; now that the Chaos receded, they once again revealed their forms.

The two steps of opening heaven and earth have already completed the first step; Chaos has been split open, matter has reappeared…… What follows is the most important second step: condense matter!

As long as these matters are reconcentrated into a single point, the great undertaking of opening heaven and earth will be considered a success.

But you, who have already witnessed the scene of failure, now have your heart in your throat, for you know that failure is certain to come next!

You don't know the cause of failure, nor do you know where exactly the Heavenly Dao is problematic, but this side branch is essentially no different from the current one; the previous failure means this one will surely fail as well……

You begin to doubt life: why can't you even achieve an ending of 'Eternal Wilderness'? Could it be that clearing the game is truly this hard?

"I just don't want too many people to die..."

You let out a bitter sigh, involuntarily asking yourself: could it be that even this modest pursuit of mine is wrong?

In this tragic game, just what mindset and approach must you adopt to possibly clear it……

Jin Bing stood beside you, also sighing: "It's not your fault......"

The difficulty this junior faces is truly too high; a disaster of the level of opening heaven and earth—how can one possibly withstand it?

To be frank, Jin Bing is also feeling a bit disheartened: all usable methods have been used, what else can be done?

In order to pass, 'another self' even brought out the old gifts stored at the bottom of the box—Primordial Wilderness fragments, Golden Crow true fire, sage dao fruits…… These high-end items that you had painstakingly obtained back then, though somewhat altered in appearance, were nonetheless all given to Xiao Heizi as support.

It's clear that this is already the limit of assistance……

"Or, why don't you ask him again?"

Jin Bing helplessly chose to stop thinking and suggested you use an 'external brain'.

His proposal made the desperate you feel as if you had grasped the last straw of salvation: the more desperate the moment, the greater the value of 'another self'; although you don't see any hope in this situation, asking can't hurt!

Ding! You seek strategy aid from the 'another self' in the vast unknown; you choose: (?) Please answer freely!

"Ask me?"

Looking at the help request, Zhao Si also felt a bit at a loss; it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but there really was nothing he could do!

As for gifts, Zhao Si has already contributed all currently available primordial-level gifts: Primordial Wilderness fragments, Golden Crow true fire, Primordial Wilderness power, the Zhou Tian stars…… Regardless of usefulness, he sent them all over.

As for strategies…… what other strategies could Zhao Si offer? "In this situation, aside from deus ex machina, what other strategies are usable?"

But what usable deus ex machina does the Primordial Wilderness still have? The two idiots, Heavenly Dao, blindly confident in opening heaven and earth; the Dao Ancestor is suppressed within the Heavenly Dao's body; the Six Sages and the River of Darkness have already advanced into 'Eternal Wilderness'; in the Primordial Wilderness worldview, there are nine sage-level powerhouses in total, and now none of them can act……

"Wait a moment!"

Zhao Si raised his eyebrows: "This Primordial Wilderness has no one usable; what about other Primordial Wildernesses?"

In a moment, Zhao Si thought of the few primordial-level gifts in Xue Xuan's hands.

Primordial-level things are good, but they are also great calamities; each primordial-level item corresponds to a coordinate in the original world, and if accidentally activated, the opposing sage can immediately lock onto it……

However, we are currently short-handed; if we could summon them from another world, who knows—it might have a remarkable effect! "Anyway, the situation can't get much worse, so why not bring a few more variables over?"

Having made up his mind, Zhao Si simply wrote: "Detonate the Primordial Wilderness fragments beside the Heavenly Dao, using its Heavenly Dao power and Pangu's divine power to stimulate those few primordial-level gifts of yours!"

Let's give those two idiots a grand melee of all realms and see if they still go crazy or not!

Ding! You choose: (using the power of the Heavenly Dao of Hongjun, activate all primordial-level gifts, draw down extramundane sages!)

"Drawing down extramundane sages..."

When this bold strategy surged into your mind, you admitted you were startled; your heart, already risen to your throat, almost leapt out of your chest!

Although the Primordial Wilderness has no such thing as 'extramundane heavenly demons', extramundane sages are still extramundane sages; the two words 'extramundane' indicate that the opponent's information is unclear, while the two words 'sage' indicate that the opponent's strength is extremely high.

Rashly introducing an unknown powerful existence into this realm, once it causes some irreparable loss, there may be no time for regret……

But…… what is there left to worry about……

Besides the shock, a nameless impulse surged up again: you, you have nothing left to lose!

Even if you retreat ten thousand steps, after all you are the world's anchor point; if this round fails to produce a perfect ending, you can simply start over, but if you succeed…… you'll strike it rich!

"Come on!"

Gritting your teeth, you drove the Primordial Wilderness fragments, and amidst the astonished gazes of Jin Bing and others, you slammed hard into the seated Heavenly Dao!

"Just come on!"

The Primordial Wilderness fragments plunged headfirst into the brilliant Heavenly Dao purple light……

……

"Huh?"

The Heavenly Dao, focused on breaking open Chaos, glanced at your 'spaceship' charging in headfirst, not quite understanding what you intended to do.

"Could it be that you're afraid of being hurt by the mighty power of opening heaven, so you've come seeking refuge?" As he pondered this, suddenly, endless material particles seemed to be summoned, beginning to spontaneously gather and surge toward him!

"I really succeeded!"

Seeing this sight, the Heavenly Dao was overjoyed, simply ignoring you for the moment and wholeheartedly beginning the second step: reassembling Pangu's true form!

Immeasurable matter surged wildly toward it as its core, and under the Heavenly Dao's instinctive control, gradually formed a skeleton……

First the skeleton, then muscles, meridians, blood, five viscera and six bowels, skin, hair……

This is entirely the form of a human being!

It is not tall, merely having an ordinary human physique; looking at its unremarkable appearance, yet the more so, the more it demonstrates its terror!

Almost all the matter of an entire Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth was just enough to shape a single person; its density is simply unimaginable……

It is entirely a mass of 'being' condensed to the extreme!

You could call it a 'material singularity', or call it 'being'…… It has no name, nor any particular origin, but in retrospect, its Dao Ancestor once gave it a name based on a human identity—a resounding name known throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

Its name: Pangu!

Once all the 'being' from the four directions had fully gathered into Pangu's true form, losing the support of 'being', the endless Chaos of 'non-being' once again pressed down!

This time, the purple colossus no longer released Pangu's divine power to drive away Chaos; instead, in agitation it slowly dissolved, transforming into a formless, substanceless mysterious existence that infused into Pangu's true form……

Slowly, it opened its eyes!

His eyes were filled with bewilderment.

He did not know who he was, nor where he came from, and even less where he was going……

No! He knew where he was going!

Bewildered, he stepped forward toward the "front", and with just one step he found his goal: a purple heaven and earth, within which stood a striking purple palace.

With a single step he stepped over the void of Chaos; wherever he passed, 'nothing' fled in fear, for he was the sole miracle, the eternal miracle, in Chaos!

Matter is not destroyed, merely shattered; when he reassembles, everything remains as it was… He merely slept and had an insignificant dream.

He easily passed through the membrane of heaven and earth, entering this realm that seemed both 'existent' and 'non‑existent'—the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Bewildered, he had no mind to admire the scenery here… First, because his spirit was insufficient; he now possessed only instinct.

Second, because he alone was the sole reality in Chaos, while everything else was illusion; this small heaven and earth that appeared no different from reality was, in his eyes, merely a meaningless illusion.

And the reason he entered this illusion while bewildered was only one.

He sought to make himself whole.

His body's subconscious told him that he ought to have nine portions of consciousness, but he currently had only one, so he needed to find the other versions of himself and then… consume them.

He knew neither good nor evil; this muddled Chaos‑being had only instinct, the instinct to complete himself…

He walked straight toward that purple palace; encountering obstacles like rocks and trees, he neither dodged nor yielded, but simply stepped 'through' them one by one.

Yes, 'through'!

What people see are all illusions; how could such a trifling false illusion obstruct reality itself?

Thus, he passed through all the obstacles of illusion and entered that tightly shut, vast palace.

Inside, there was only a dazzling seven‑colored vortex like a Milky Way, slowly turning, day after day, year after year, from the beginning of the Latter Day of the Law, it had kept turning to the present, and seemed destined to keep turning…

No, it could not turn any longer.

Only because he had arrived.

He bewilderedly gazed at the intangible barrier before the vortex, split apart by a treasure sword, scratched his head, and then stepped forward, intending to enter the vortex…

Boom!!!

At this critical moment, a tremendous impact surged from the vortex, striking him head‑on; utterly unprepared, he was instantly flung backward!

Within the vortex, seven figures stood.

One elderly, one middle‑aged, one young.

One slender, one corpulent.

One woman.

One wearing blood‑stained double swords.

The Seven Saints, facing Pangu head‑on!
