What’s going on? Is our home… haunted? Why is the resentment so strong?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestral Wushen stepped into the boundary between reality and illusion, seeing the entire Kai Ming Grand Universe awash in resentment, nearly rivaling the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the source of it all was the Pangu Hall at the center of the universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Dad have come back from the dead?” Shibi Shi suddenly blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t speak nonsense!” The Ancestral Wushen all glared at Shibi Shi—how could you say such a thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shibi Shi sheepishly rubbed his nose and muttered weakly, “I’m just making a reasonable analysis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only Dad’s heart and Brother Houtu remain in the Pangu Hall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The resentment is this intense—it can’t be Dad’s fault. Could it really be Houtu pretending to be a wronged ghost?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestral Wushen fell silent for a moment, then walked toward the center of the universe and pushed open the doors of the Pangu Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squeak—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the hall doors opened, the previously thick, almost liquid torrent of endless resentment vanished instantly, as if struck by a fatal countermeasure, disappearing without a trace—as if it had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hall, Houtu, elegant and breathtakingly beautiful, sat quietly before the Ten Thousand Things Cauldron, which emitted the aura of Creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the returning Ancestral Wushen, she smiled—a gentle, soothing smile like spring rain—as if the overwhelming resentment moments ago had nothing to do with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you all finished inspecting the Buzhou Mountain and the legendary Qi Lin ancestral lands? You’ve traveled far—what were your findings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houtu’s voice was soft and melodious, laced with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestral Wushen exchanged glances, carefully studying Houtu. Her expression was calm, her aura peaceful—she showed no signs of being tainted by resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, their gazes unconsciously turned to the quietly hovering Ten Thousand Things Cauldron, filled with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the resentment truly have come from Pangu’s heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestral Wushen trusted Houtu utterly—they would doubt their own father before doubting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Let’s discuss the real matter first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestral Wushen exchanged a knowing glance and decided to temporarily set aside the mystery of the resentment, each taking a familiar seat with relaxed, confident postures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve thoroughly surveyed the area around Buzhou Mountain and the legendary Qi Lin ancestral lands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the eldest among the Ancestral Wushen, [Space Ancestral Wushen] Di Jiang spoke first, his voice steady and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As we anticipated, the sacred cliff of the Qi Lin clan has vanished completely—not a single trace remains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems the Qi Lin clan truly intends to withdraw from the world, abandoning all affairs of the Hong Huang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely because of this, the entire core region of Buzhou Mountain, along with vast surrounding mountain ranges once under Qi Lin control, have been left vacant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houtu nodded gently and said, “So, our plan to relocate our sect’s base from Kai Ming Mountain to the core region of Buzhou Mountain will face minimal external resistance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, one of the primary purposes of this collective journey was to select a new home for their future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were moving!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had successfully secured Pangu’s heart, this “relic,” and received the “legitimate endorsement” of their father, Pangu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the true descendants of Pangu, they naturally sought a location more closely tied to their father, with superior feng shui and greater symbolic significance, to serve as their future core sect base and development center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the entire Hong Huang, where else could be more suitable than Buzhou Mountain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was forged from the backbone of their father, Pangu, who held up heaven and earth—the celestial pillar of the Hong Huang continent, the most precious natural legacy left by their father!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying Pangu’s heart, they would reside legitimately near their father’s spine, receiving and guarding this precious inheritance—wasn’t that only natural and reasonable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would dare object?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could object?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s almost no resistance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Time Ancestral Wushen] Zhu Jiuyin, usually reserved and silent, now revealed a rare smile and spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to our observations, even the mighty Tai Wei Heavenly Court has chosen to ignore this sensitive core region, making no substantive development or jurisdiction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only a few minor cultivators, ignorant of their own insignificance, relying on a bit of luck, have chosen some spiritually rich mountain veins to establish their caves as sect bases.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some deities are also stubborn, taking advantage of the Qi Lin clan’s departure and Tai Wei’s neglect to quietly expand their Dao domains, secretly annexing unclaimed cave heavens and blessed lands into their territories.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But these are all trivial matters—insignificant, incapable of causing any major disturbance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One more point to note.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lightning Ancestral Wushen] Xi Zi said: “Although Tai Wei Heavenly Court has not directly intervened in the core region of Buzhou Mountain, the Lord of the Earth Star, Jin Yao, currently oversees the Buzhou Mountain battlefield zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has organized the terrestrial immortals of the Immortal Dao to restructure the shattered mountains and rivers, repair the damage inflicted by the great battle, and restore the spiritual veins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I estimate that once Lord Jin Yao finishes clearing the battlefield and completes his merit, he will withdraw and cease further interference in Buzhou Mountain affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that time, our formal occupation of Buzhou Mountain will be most appropriate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, when we move in, will we call ourselves the ‘Pangu Clan’?” [Lightning Ancestral Wushen] Qiang Liang asked in a deep, rumbling voice, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were descendants of Pangu—calling themselves the “Pangu Clan” was perfectly legitimate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough—Brother Qiang Liang, isn’t that name… a bit too ostentatious?” [Wood Ancestral Wushen] Ju Mang quickly coughed twice, voicing his disagreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, the name ‘Pangu Clan’ was originally suggested by the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given that old man’s usual style, I suspect this is almost certainly a trap—we absolutely mustn’t walk into it blindly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ju Mang’s warning made the other Ancestral Wushen nod thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Jun the old man—must be guarded against!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my view, we should continue using the name ‘Wu’—it’s safer and more aligned with our true nature.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ju Mang continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu means standing tall, holding up heaven and earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that the perfect inheritance and interpretation of our father’s great will—opening heaven and earth, propping up the Hong Huang cosmos?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Brother Ju Mang speaks wisely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancestral Wushen all nodded in agreement after hearing his explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that’s the case, they must now legitimately secure permanent residence rights to Buzhou Mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if they couldn’t establish themselves upon Buzhou Mountain, standing atop the Hong Huang, how could they live up to the sacred mission embodied in the words “holding up heaven and earth”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, the Ancestral Wushen’s eyes blazed with fierce determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzhou Mountain—they would claim it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never expected the Hong Huang Great Cycle to be established so soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an unknown place, a strange space, over a dozen indistinct figures radiating ancient, powerful auras met again in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although this outcome differs slightly from what Cycle Dao Friend anticipated, the Great Cycle has indeed been established. I suppose Cycle Dao Friend might feel less regret now,” murmured a demonic god shrouded in mist, his voice carrying an indescribable complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What regret? Cycle Dao Friend is gone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another demonic god, fiery-tempered and wreathed in destruction flames, interrupted impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gone is gone—it’s not the first time. Why make such a fuss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A demonic god whose aura was even more ethereal, as if ready to dissolve into nothingness, dismissed it carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look—after the Hong Huang Great Calamity, the Hong Huang Great Cycle and countless smaller cycles across the Zhu Tian Wan Jie have all been successfully established.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, these various cycle pathways will be the routes for Cycle Dao Friend’s return, his hope for rebirth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if he truly does return, he’ll likely have to start over from scratch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This demonic god’s voice carried a touch of malicious delight, mixed with a sense of sorrowful sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, don’t get too excited, and don’t oversimplify things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a demonic god shook his head coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Lord of the Underworld could use Cycle Dao Friend’s power to successfully establish the Hong Huang Great Cycle, how can you be sure he won’t just hammer another nail into Cycle Dao Friend’s coffin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words instantly chilled the previously relaxed atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other demonic gods protested: “Don’t boost the enemy’s morale and dampen our own! We Chaos Demonic Gods fear neither Pangu—why should we fear a mere Lord of the Underworld?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, how do you know becoming part of the Cycle isn’t part of Cycle Dao Friend’s plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps this outcome is exactly what Cycle Dao Friend wanted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark demonic god who had poured cold water on them was momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Demonic Gods present all knew, to varying degrees, that Cycle Demonic God had always had his own grand scheme—as if plotting an earth-shattering game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had quietly sought not just one “investor” or “partner,” but multiple—including Tian Di Xuan Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what exactly Cycle Demonic God intended to do? No one could say—no one could even guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could say he completely failed, overplayed his hand, and got tricked to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you could equally say it was all part of his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Contract Demonic God, do you know what Cycle intends to do?” asked a Chaos Demonic God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contract Demonic God shook his head: “I only know Cycle intends to use a certain opportunity to lead many of us to ‘ascend.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How exactly he plans to execute it—I don’t know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps being forced to become the Hong Huang Great Cycle was part of his plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This answer was equally ambiguous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget him. Whether he has hidden moves or not, time will tell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A towering demonic god, his battle aura piercing the heavens, impatiently waved his hand, cutting off their speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s focus on ourselves—think about how we ourselves will ‘ascend,’ and how we can carve out a path to survival in this new Hong Huang era!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was the War Demonic God, who presided over combat and slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War Demonic God said: “During the previous great battle, you all saw it—Hong Jun, that bastard, actually transformed into Pangu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Luo Hou!” other demonic gods reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!” the War Demonic God mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though these two share our origins, since coming ashore they’ve not only advanced their Dao but also claimed Pangu’s legacy, transforming into Pangu himself—this deserves our deep reflection.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even more bluntly, it’s worth learning from.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learn a pile!” One demonic god immediately objected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d rather be crushed to death by Pangu, forever trapped outside the River of Time and Space, utterly sunk—than ever walk their path and transform into Pangu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Well said!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many demonic gods erupted in shouts, their emotions surging:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was a Chaos Demonic God in one age, and I’ll remain one for all eternity! Pangu and I were never of the same kind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Different Dao, no alliance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them brimmed with righteous fury, as if even comparing themselves to the name “Pangu” was an unforgivable humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Contract Demonic God reminded: “Pangu was also a Chaos Demonic God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… well… can that even be compared?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously enraged Chaos Demonic Gods were momentarily silenced by this blunt truth, struggling to respond but still defiantly retorting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To embrace Pangu means betraying one’s own Dao—we absolutely will not accept that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Contract Demonic God’s gaze flickered slightly, then calmly added: “I observed the previous great battle—each of the four Pangu walked their own Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meaning, walking Pangu’s path does not conflict with one’s own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furious demonic gods froze solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon careful thought, they realized it was true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, no—we’re just not on the same path as Pangu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learning from him? Disgusting!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even dogs wouldn’t learn—pfft!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some extreme demonic gods still voiced their disdain, then simply left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others followed suit, one after another, choosing to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if I told you I’ve found a ‘Pangu’ as an investor—perhaps we’ll one day have the chance to transform into Pangu ourselves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War Demonic God’s voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Demonic Gods who had just been resolute instantly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, reveal your plan!” The demonic gods fixed their gaze on the War Demonic God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War Demonic God chuckled: “Didn’t you just say even dogs won’t learn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dogs won’t learn—I will!” The demonic gods had astonishingly thick skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the War Demonic God and the Contract Demonic God laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up—spit out your ideas!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this investor you speak of is the Heavenly Emperor, then we’re leaving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Demonic Gods weren’t fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Reincarnation Demonic God was indeed killed by the four Pangu in tandem—but wasn’t it Ta Wei Luo Hou Shang Zun who struck the final blow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They used Pangu’s identity to offset part of the backlash from the Great Dao Pact—otherwise, the Heavenly Emperor would already be joining Reincarnation Demonic God in death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll definitely collect that debt from the Heavenly Emperor someday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chaos Demonic Gods said as such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they’d also wanted to trick Reincarnation Demonic God to death or sell him out, those were all struggles among demonic gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For matters beyond demonic gods, they still observed some rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Heavenly Emperor had signed his name!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This debt couldn’t be dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not the Heavenly Emperor—it’s the Zu Wu Pangu among the Four Pangu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War Demonic God smiled: “They’re currently scheming major plans.
