208. Chapter 205: Imperial Continent Anomalies, Pangu's Revival?

This place is too small; Panhuang's world should be Chaos, and Chaos is where Panhuang belongs.

"Stay with us a few more days this time," Changxi said, linking arms with Panhuang.

"Good!" Panhuang nodded.

In the battle against the Primordial Heavenly Dao, he too was severely wounded; although his karmic origin within was absorbed, his hidden injuries were not yet healed, so he could use this time to recuperate.

As for exploring Chaos? No need to rush; Chaos is so vast, a few days early or late makes no difference.

In the following time, Panhuang peacefully stayed by Changxi's side, while he also observed the Primordial world, wanting to see what it would become after the Heavenly Dao changed.

At first, Panhuang noticed nothing unusual; the Primordial world's operation didn't change due to the new Heavenly Dao, but soon Panhuang discovered something different.

When the Heavenly Dao hadn't been changed, the Primordial Heavenly Dao sought to quickly increase its power, secretly aiding the Demonic Realm's invasion of the Primordial, causing demonic cultivators to flourish in the Primordial and even temporarily disrupting cultivators' normal practice.

But after the Heavenly Dao was changed, those demonic cultivators' good days ended; the new Heavenly Dao would occasionally send down heavenly tribulations to punish those demonic cultivators, and those punished demonic cultivators bore heavy karmic burdens and resentful evil aura.

For a time, the demonic cultivators in the Primordial vanished and hid, but it was useless; as long as they remained in the Primordial world, the Heavenly Dao would find them.

Time quickly passed three years; during these three years, the new Heavenly Dao screened all demonic cultivators in the Primordial, eighty percent of them were eliminated by the new Heavenly Dao, while the remaining twenty percent were in the Demonic Spirit Sect.

The new Heavenly Dao had no emotions; it achieved true fairness and justice, which many forces in the Primordial also noticed.

They used their own means to contact the sages, and from the sages they learned of Panhuang's great battle with the Heavenly Dao in Chaos, which made those Primordial forces more wary of the Ren Sect.

During Panhuang's battle with the Heavenly Dao, the sages had actually already noticed, but they dared not step forward; Yuanshi Tianzun originally wanted to move closer to watch, but as he approached he felt his saintly position fluctuate, and moving him further might cause him to fall from his saintly rank due to the battle.

After the new Heavenly Dao took control of the Primordial, the sages' saintly positions reconnected with the new Heavenly Dao, yet they felt nothing; in their perception, it was still the old Heavenly Dao.

In the end they concluded that Panhuang had defeated the Heavenly Dao and erased all its emotions, making the Heavenly Dao a normal one.

Panhuang saw that the new Heavenly Dao governed the Primordial world very well, and he felt satisfied, but he always had a knot in his heart: the original Heavenly Dao.

When Panhuang initially fled the the Zixiao Palace, the the Zixiao Palace did not explode; when he later re-entered it, only the Heavenly Dao core remained, while the Heavenly Dao itself had vanished.

Panhuang stayed in this Heavenly Dao space; one reason was to heal his wounds, another was to accompany Changxi and her sister, and another important reason was to investigate the Primordial Heavenly Dao, to see where it actually was.

But three years have passed; under the cover of his divine sense, he searched every inch of land in the Primordial, yet found no trace of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

As the Primordial Heavenly Dao, having departed from the Heavenly Dao core, its only refuge could be the Primordial world; otherwise it would dissipate. But now the Primordial world lacks it, so Panhuang must stay alert, fearing that at some point the Primordial Heavenly Dao will emerge to cause trouble.

During these three years, Panhuang's injuries also healed, but he did not leave the Heavenly Dao space, because he wanted to draw out the Primordial Heavenly Dao; otherwise, this would become his heart's ailment.

That day, Panhuang routinely scanned the Primordial with his divine sense, and when his divine sense swept over the Central Imperial Continent, his whole body shuddered.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Xihe asked hurriedly upon seeing Panhuang like that.

"Nothing!" Panhuang frowned and shook his head.

Seeing Panhuang unwilling to speak, they stopped asking; this is what Panhuang likes most about them—if he doesn't want to say something, they never ask.

In the Demon Court, the Great Golden Crow, who had just finished handling affairs, suddenly furrowed his brows.

"Bai Ze!" the Great Golden Crow then summoned Bai Ze.

"Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor!"

"I'm going out for a trip; handle all matters of the Demon Court for now, and don't tell anyone that I've left!" the Great Golden Crow said to Bai Ze.

"Yes!" Bai Ze nodded.

After leaving the Demon Court, the Great Golden Crow concealed his form and headed straight for the Central Imperial Continent.

Upon reaching the Central Imperial Continent, the Great Golden Crow released his primordial spirit aura; after the protective barrier enveloping the Central Imperial Continent sensed his primordial spirit aura, it opened a passage, and the Great Golden Crow flashed inside.

After entering the Central Imperial Continent, the Great Golden Crow headed straight for the Pangu Temple.

Upon entering the Pangu Temple, the Great Golden Crow went to the rear hall and saw the Pangu statue.

At that moment, the Pangu statue was filled with blinding white light, and a strong primordial spirit power and life aura appeared on the statue.

"Indeed!" Seeing this, the Great Golden Crow—or rather, Panhuang—trembled all over with excitement.

"Descendants, I pay my respects to Father God!" the Great Golden Crow knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.

"Are you my descendant?" After a dozen breaths, a deep, muffled voice sounded in the Great Golden Crow's ears.

"Yes! I am the avatar of the Primordial Witch Panhuang!" the Great Golden Crow's voice trembled.

"Why didn't your main body come?"

"Father God! My main body has now reached the Heavenly Dao realm; the Primordial can no longer contain my main body, so I have come." The Great Golden Crow hastily explained, fearing Panhuang might misunderstand something.

"Was it you who defeated the Primordial Heavenly Dao?" After a moment, Pangu's voice sounded again.

"Yes! The Primordial Heavenly Dao has gained emotions; it is no longer fit to be the Primordial Heavenly Dao." the Great Golden Crow nodded.

"Hmm!" Pangu grunted, then said nothing more.

"Father God, I have a question." After thinking, the Great Golden Crow finally asked.

"I have taken back the Primordial Heavenly Dao; you need not worry." Pangu knew what the Great Golden Crow wanted to ask, and his voice carried a hint of a smile.

"Yes!" the Great Golden Crow nodded.

"Go; I am about to revive. When I revive, let's meet in Chaos." After a long silence, Pangu said.

"Yes, Father God!" the Great Golden Crow exclaimed excitedly, then respectfully left the Pangu Temple.

After the Great Golden Crow left the Pangu Temple, the Pangu will enveloping the Central Imperial Continent grew stronger again; seeing this, the Great Golden Crow curled his lips into a smile.

"What a surprise—I never expected Great God Pangu to actually revive!" the Great Golden Crow muttered, his eyes full of excitement.

Whether in his past life or present, Panhuang greatly admired Pangu; now learning that Pangu is about to revive, he is extremely excited, and if not for his status, he would want to shout aloud.

In the next second, the Great Golden Crow appeared directly in Fengdu; seeing him, Di Jiang and the others smiled.

"Thirteenth Brother, you haven't come to see your older brothers and sisters in ages, have you!" Di Jiang teased upon seeing the Great Golden Crow.

The fact that the Great Golden Crow is an avatar of Panhuang was already known to Di Jiang and the others; Panhuang never intended to hide it from them, and besides, Di Jiang and company daily deal with souls, making them quite sensitive to the soul's origin.

"Elder Brother, I have some good news to tell you." the Great Golden Crow said with a smile.

"Wait a moment, I'll summon the others." Di Jiang stopped the Great Golden Crow and said.

After saying that, Di Jiang had people go look for the other Primordial Witches; soon, the other Primordial Witches also arrived at Fengdu City.

Alright, thirteenth brother, speak. After all the ancestral witches had arrived, Di Jiang looked toward Da Jinwu.

The Father God is about to recover! Da Jinwu only said this.

Really? Thirteenth brother, this kind of thing cannot be joked about! Meng Po furrowed their brows and looked toward Da Jinwu.

Brothers and sisters, how could little brother possibly bring this out to joke about! Da Jinwu gave a bitter laugh.

Hahaha! Upon hearing Da Jinwu's words, everyone first fell into silence, then everyone burst into loud laughter.

Good, good! All this is thirteenth brother's merit! Qiangliang gave Da Jinwu a big hug.

Thirteenth brother, tell us in detail, tell us in detail! Tianwu pulled Da Jinwu wanting to know the details.

The matter of the main body battling the Heavenly Dao of the Wasteland, I suppose you all brothers and sisters already know, right? Da Jinwu said with a smile.

Of course, such a big matter, how could we not know? Our Netherworld, after all, is also one of the Three Dao; when the Heavenly Dao changed hands, we discovered it right away. Di Jiang nodded.

After the initial battle with the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao disappeared. The main body feared that the Wasteland Heavenly Dao would hide and bring disaster to the Wasteland, so it continually searched for traces of the Wasteland Heavenly Dao within the Heavenly Dao space, and finally discovered the anomaly in the Central Emperor Continent. Da Jinwu explained to everyone.

Thirteenth brother, what do we need to do now? After hearing Da Jinwu's words, Di Jiang said.

Brothers and sisters, this is what I think: the Wasteland is the transformation of the Father God; currently the Central Emperor Continent has already become independent outside the Four Great Lands; after the Father God recovers, the first thing he will likely do is absorb the Central Emperor Continent; what we can do now is to help the Father God recover as much as possible. Da Jinwu looked at everyone.

Understood! Di Jiang nodded.

Then little brother will take his leave first; after all, little brother's identity is still somewhat sensitive; once the Father God recovers, little brother's identity will be revealed then, and there should be no problem. Da Jinwu said with a smile.

Go! Di Jiang nodded.

You all know, right? From now on, we must exert all our strength to collect everything in the Wasteland that can help the Father God recover, of course, under the condition that it does not affect the Wasteland; otherwise, after the Father God recovers, he will blame us. Di Jiang said to the other ancestral witches.

Yes! The other ancestral witches nodded.

In the following time, the entire Netherworld sprang into action; they began collecting all treasures in the Wasteland that could help Pangu recover.

Da Jinwu returned to the Heavenly Court and made arrangements; he did not take the Netherworld's route. Da Jinwu first had all the Demon Race offer a drop of their lifeblood essence, then he arranged for the Demon Race in the Demon Court to extensively plunder the essence blood of living beings in the Wasteland, because the Wasteland is the transformation of Pangu, and every blade of grass and tree in the Wasteland has a great effect on Pangu's recovery.

Besides plundering the essence blood of living beings, Da Jinwu also connected with the Sea of Blood, taking a finger's worth of its blood water to use as nourishment for Pangu's recovery.

In the Heavenly Dao space, Panguang received from Da Jinwu the news about the Central Emperor Continent; his face showed an expression of 'as expected,' and at the same time a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

Great God Pangu, Father God Pangu, we'll meet again in Chaos! Panguang muttered to himself.

After saying that, Panguang gave instructions to Changxi and Xihe, then left the Heavenly Dao space.

Now that it is known that the Wasteland Heavenly Dao has been absorbed by Pangu, the hidden danger he worried about no longer exists; therefore, Panguang prepares to return to Chaos once more to explore the world within Chaos.

Upon returning to Chaos, Panguang had just returned to his dojo when Zhenyuanzi and the Ming River Old Ancestor arrived at his dojo; thereafter, the Goddess Nüwa also came to his dojo.

Fellow Daoist Panguang! Upon seeing Panguang, the three bowed their hands to him, and their words carried a hint of respect.

There's no need to be so formal, aren't we friends? Feeling their respect, Panguang frowned slightly.

I'll just say it, Fellow Daoist Panguang is absolutely not that kind of person. Seeing Panguang's slight frown, the Ming River Old Ancestor said to Zhenyuanzi beside him.

It seems I am too attached to form. Zhenyuanzi gave a bitter laugh.

Fellow Daoist Panguang, could you tell us about the the Zixiao Palace? The Ming River Old Ancestor asked curiously.

No problem! Panguang said with a smile.

Fellow Daoist Nüwa, join us too! Upon seeing Nüwa beside him, Panguang said with a smile.

Good! Nüwa nodded.

These are spiritual fruits from the Wasteland; let's eat and chat. After settling down, Panguang waved his hand, and several plates of exquisite spiritual fruits appeared on the table.

The matter is like this. While eating the spiritual fruits, Panguang began from the point where he and Yangmei's group found themselves exploring the world, and then recounted what happened after he arrived in Chaos.

After leaving Yangmei's dojo, I came to this world; indeed, as I expected, this is a world on the verge of death, and moreover this world should be the inner world of a powerful being; I used my mana to revive it and refined it. Panguang said with a smile.

As expected of Fellow Daoist Panguang, what level has your strength reached now? Zhenyuanzi asked curiously.

Late Heavenly Dao stage! Panguang did not conceal his strength; there's nothing to hide about that.

Fellow Daoist, are there really other worlds in Chaos? What I mean is, besides the worlds you have found, are there really any other worlds? Nüwa asked curiously.

Yes! This is absolute; Chaos is too vast—you must know that Chaos contains the Great Dao. If there were only one Wasteland world, where would the power of the Great Dao come from? In Chaos there is no time, no space, no laws; Chaos is a vast emptiness, so how could the Great Dao exist? Have you not considered this? Panguang asked the crowd.

Upon hearing Panguang's words, everyone's brows furrowed; they really had not thought about this matter carefully, but upon hearing Panguang's words, they finally realized: if there were no other worlds in Chaos, how could the Great Dao exist? (End of chapter)
