Chapter 266

【Minghe: Three sentences, the Dao Ancestor cured my mental exhaustion!】

【The conversation between master and disciple did not attract the Six Saints' attention, because those six had already given up long ago, paying no heed to anything in the Primordial Wasteland, whether alive or dead, just going with the flow.】

【If it weren't for being eaten by Pangu's True Body, which would make them wear through the bottom of their prison, they wouldn't even put up any resistance……】

【You could say those six lack ambition and are just going with the flow, or you could say they have already accepted an unavoidable fate and are following heaven's will.】

【After all, the collapse of matter in the Primordial Wasteland does not shift with individual will; the Six Saints, having realized this, decisively chose "Eternal Primordial Wasteland" as the final refuge for all beings.】

【However, when hearing the Dao Ancestor solemnly say things like "Everyone wants to leave" and "In the Primordial Wasteland, only you, a Quasi-Saint, refuse to go," the Six Saints' faces still twitched……】

【Especially Taiqing and Nüwa, upon exchanging a glance, saw each other's speechlessness: setting others aside, isn't my disciple (in terms of upbringing) unwilling to burn himself for the Primordial Wasteland? Isn't he just one strand of Purple Qi away from becoming a saint?】

【That kid is really eager to advance!】

【But the problem is, Master, you not only don't let him advance, you actually put him in prison, making him Cell Bing.】

【You've locked everyone else up, so surely only Minghe this old shut‑in wouldn't want to leave……】

【Fine!】

【Anyway, it's all because you ate garlic!】

【……】

【Thus, Pangu's True Body battles the Eight Saints!】

【You have the Heaven‑and‑Earth Cauldron, I have the Heavenly Spirit Cover!】

【You have the Slay Immortal Sword, I have the Heavenly Spirit Cover!】

【You have the Vajra Pestle, I have the Heavenly Spirit Cover……】

【Anyway, I have the Heavenly Spirit Cover!】

【Poor Lao Pan kept getting up again and again, only to be knocked to his knees time after time; facing the Eight Saints' siege, it was only thanks to his immunity to damage that he wasn't beaten so badly he couldn't even afford the buttons.】

【Even though there was basically no chance to win, he stubbornly got up again and again, relentlessly throwing elbow strikes! bear hugs! King Eight Fists!】

【Because although he had hardly any brains, his instinct told him: he must chew off the eight brains opposite him!】

【Yet his unrefined King Eight Fist could not match the combined might of all the Saints; after half a day's effort he inflicted no damage at all, and instead was beaten to a miserable state, only able to endure it.】

【In this situation, even though he lacked brains, he seethed with anger, but fury did not grant him a power‑up; instead, his rage made his technique more chaotic, opening more flaws, and he took even harder blows……】

After fighting like this for a long time, both sides still couldn't tell who would win: the sturdy disc, relying on invulnerability and immunity to damage, stubbornly held its own against the eight, but the sages were only a bit flustered, basically not suffering any loss, the eight still kept circling and kicking it.

In this situation, aside from the brainless Pangu's true form, everyone knows: fighting like this, there's simply no way to tell who will win.

Yet the sages continued to persist in the fight, because it was a war of attrition; as both sides wore down, the first to collapse would definitely be Pangu's true form.

In fact, Pangu's true form was already gradually showing signs of decline……

As time passed, His stature grew ever taller, from the height of an ordinary person to several times its original height; before the sages, He was utterly a little giant!

But the increase in stature did not grant Him a corresponding increase in strength.

His elbow strikes gradually grew weak, and His grapples also became slow, indicating that this unexpectedly revived old father was rapidly weakening……

For a true form constituted of matter, growing larger means decreasing density, meaning that the Void is eroding and filling Him.

This scene is precisely a reenactment of the sight when the primordial god fell while creating heaven!

The sages fought Him while silently observing this process that no one had ever seen before.

Although no one has seen the existence of the Void in the realm beyond heaven, to Pangu, everything except Himself is a false illusion, even the realm beyond heaven does not exist; He has always been in Chaos!

For Being to dwell within the Void is to be eroded by it, and the most direct manifestation of that erosion is an increase in size.

But it is not only the size that increases.

As time passes, not only does His stature grow, but so does His age!

He began as a young man, then gradually became middle-aged……

Age and stature grew in tandem: from a spirited youth to a middle-aged uncle, from an ordinary build to a living giant!

One zhang, ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang……

One li, ten li, a hundred li, a thousand li, ten thousand li……

Until no one knew how tall He was, the sages could only fly back and forth at His feet, and His means of attack changed from elbow strikes and grapples to relentless trampling!

But His movements also became ever more clumsy and slow……

Everyone knew that the death of this reborn giant god was imminent.

……

At the same time, you and Jin Bing, who are truly inside Pangu's body, have finally waited for the person you've been waiting for……

Fragmented Heaven and Earth.

Xue Xuan sat calmly on the ground, while Jin Bing beside him looked at him helplessly: "Do you really think…… Pangu will come to find you?"

"If He wants to survive, He will surely come."

Xue Xuan was utterly calm, as if He had already figured everything out.

In fact, he too had indeed basically figured everything out, because once those earlier deductions all held true, this whole plot already had no secrets left. Pangu left him behind, surely because He needed something from him; the remaining instinct of Pangu would inevitably appear to meet him……

Just as he was speaking, a figure abruptly appeared in the Fragmented Heaven and Earth! His form was a blur, with no distinct features.

He even seemed like a wandering soul, drifting aimlessly, without support or reliance……

When Xue Xuan noticed Him, He also noticed Xue Xuan.

At the instant of seeing Him, Xue Xuan's excitement was indescribable; the composure he had struggled to maintain finally broke: his guess had come true, He had really come!

And when He noticed Xue Xuan, it was as if He had finally found His target, drifting over seemingly slow but actually swift……

Unlike your feigned calm, Jin Bing, upon seeing Him, was instantly shocked and dismayed!

After all, this is the manifestation of Pangu's will; in the primordial wilderness, who hasn't grown up hearing the tale of Pangu creating heaven? And now Pangu Himself appears in person—such a strange, wondrous feeling is hard not to astonish.

True Pangu has descended beside me!

But this astonishment quickly dissipated, because……

【"But Pangu the Great God is right here?"】

【"Quick-eyed and quick-handed Jin Bing immediately stepped in front of you, cautiously communicating with it."】

【You Ying stared blankly, a pure stupidity showing in his eyes… He seemed to be thinking about these words; after thinking, He opened His mouth.】

【"Ababa?"】

【You：？】

【Jin Bing：？】

【One sentence left the two of you stunned; after thinking for a long time you still couldn't figure out what it meant, and for a moment you didn't dare act rashly……】

【Seeing that you seemed not to understand its meaning, it pondered, and the entire You Ying immediately attached onto you!】

【Before you could even be startled, a stream of memories and information surged into your mind……】

【The information isn't much; in short, there are only two things.】

【First, bring it with you; it wants to follow you!】

【It is not a complete Pangu, nor can it truly create heaven and earth; after failing in its attempt to devour the myriad sages, it completely lost the chance to re-create heaven and earth.】

【So once it encounters death, that is true death; from now on it can never be revived!】

【Although its intellect is deficient, it still has a basic survival instinct, so it immediately noticed you as this 'anchor'; in its eyes, you stand out more than a lamp in the darkness, so it naturally asks you to save its life.】

【As long as you carry its consciousness, it will be immortal!】

【Second, take revenge……】

……

"Are you okay?"

When Xue Xuan woke up again, Jin Bing asked with concern, fearing something might happen to him, after all this is a genuine treasure; once a person is gone, all beings of the primordial wilderness would cease to exist!

"All right……"

Xue Xuan scratched his head; the information in his mind made his expression strange: "…Can this really work?" "What did Pangu say?"

Seeing that he was fine, Jin Bing relaxed and couldn't help but ask curiously.

That's Pangu after all! To converse with Pangu is an encounter even sages have never had!

"It said…… It wants to follow me, because I can anchor its existence; as long as I'm here, it won't die."

Xue Xuan thought for a moment and honestly spoke these things out.

"Indeed, that's how it is……"

This expected answer made Jin Bing ponder: "Anything else?"

"Yes."

"What?"

Xue Xuan's expression turned strange: "It said I should help it take revenge; the last of Pangu's divine power can be left for me to use, but I must definitely help it take revenge!"

Ah? Jin Bing stared: "Pangu also wants revenge? Who does it want to kill?"

"It's not about killing someone; it just wants to give someone a beating……"

"Who to hit?"

"The Dao Ancestor…… and Father……"

Ah?!!

Jin Bing's mouth twitched: "How is that possible? Even it can't beat them, how could you……"

"No, I agreed."

Jin Bing: ……
