Chapter 1460 Pangu's Reminder

Chapter 1440 Pangu's Reminder

"Danger? What isn't dangerous? Was there danger when we made that decision? Severing one's own origin is inherently dangerous, and now our plan has failed. All of this is dangerous. It's perfectly normal for meeting Pangu to be dangerous, but this danger wasn't brought by Pangu, but by an unexpected event in Chaos!"

Shi Chen naturally knew what Yang Mei meant by "unexpected event"—it referred to the Chaos Dao. If they went to see Pangu, it was likely not an outcome the Chaos Dao desired. It was possible that the Chaos Dao would secretly sabotage them, as it didn't want to see these three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons unite. If the Chaos Dao truly allowed these three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons to work together to face the immeasurable calamity, it wouldn't have engaged in so many underhanded tactics.

“An accident shouldn’t happen. After all, he has his pride and can’t go back on his word. If he did, he would lose everything. I don’t believe that rules can bind us, so I won’t bind him. We are bound by the rules, and he will be bound by the rules as well. Otherwise, we won’t have any chance at all, not even a sliver of possibility of success!” Shi Chen’s tone was very firm, and his opinion did not waver at all, as if he could see through everything!
“You’re right. The existence of the rules has given us all a glimmer of hope. No matter what his schemes are, we must abide by the rules, which is why we have everything we have today. Pangu should know better. Let’s go, don’t waste time. After all, time is running out for us!” Yang Mei said as she got up and left without any further hesitation. Time waits for no one, and the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.

Shi Chen nodded without saying anything more, then put everything away and left his hiding place with Yang Mei, heading directly towards Pangu's location in the Chaos. Their movement immediately attracted the attention of the Chaos Dao. Seeing Yang Mei and Shi Chen heading towards Pangu without any concealment, the Chaos Dao shook its head. This was all within its expectations. When it ambushed Yang Mei, it knew this would happen, since only Pangu could make Shi Chen and Yang Mei feel safe in the entire Chaos.

Unfortunately, neither Yang Mei nor Shi Chen knew that all of this was a plan meticulously laid out by the Great Dao of Chaos, and precisely the outcome it desired. If they did nothing, remaining hidden in the shadows and waiting for the final moment, that would truly put the Great Dao of Chaos in a difficult position. If these individuals all acted in this way, how could the Great Dao of Chaos's plan possibly succeed?

"Come on, all of you, get moving! Don't let me down. The primordial world is already in chaos, it's gone mad. Even Chaos can't keep it calm. If this continues, will the immeasurable calamity give me any hope of a breakthrough?" As he said this, a hint of madness flashed in the eyes of the Chaos Dao, and he muttered to himself, "Didn't you want to make everything chaotic? Then I'll give you that chance. I also want to know what you're going to do. Chaos binds not only me, but also you."

As the voice of the Chaos Dao fell, wisps of the power of the rules wrapped around the Chaos Dao, preventing it from emitting a terrifying aura and causing harm to the Chaos World. This was the constraint of the rules on it. If the Chaos Dao were to lose control and its reason, the entire Chaos World would be destroyed.

You can influence the changes in the world's trends, and you can cause the immeasurable calamity to break out ahead of time, but you cannot violate the rules. Any behavior that breaks the rules will be stopped. The constraints of the rules on the Chaos Dao are the best proof of this!

The Chaos Dao quickly regained its senses. After all, this was not the first time it had faced such a situation, and it was already experienced. It did not change at all because of the constraints of the rules, but calmly muttered to itself, "Pangu, I hope you will not disappoint me. If you can make a move in advance and take the initiative, it may be more advantageous for me!"

In the murmur of the Great Dao of Chaos, Yang Mei and Shi Chen successfully met Pangu. They did not encounter any resistance in this operation, and the Great Dao of Chaos did not plot against them in the slightest, allowing them to appear in front of Pangu's past self.

At this moment, Pangu had regained all his former power, and his true form exuded a terrifying aura. Unfortunately, he only had the 'Pangu Axe' in his hand and did not have the 'Creation Jade Disc' or the 'Chaos Green Lotus', which affected his strength.

Upon seeing Yang Mei and Shi Chen appear, Pangu's past self showed no change in expression. He continued to gather power and prepare, as if he had not seen them at all. He stood calmly in the chaos, looking at the edge of chaos not far away, where countless lights were flashing, as if they were about to disrupt the order of heaven and earth.

"Fellow Daoist Pangu, we are old friends. There's no need for you to treat us so coldly. We've come here today to discuss some matters with you. Would you be willing to offer your guidance?" Yangmei Immortal wasn't angry at Pangu's reaction, because he could see that Pangu's past self had been accumulating power, waiting for the final explosion. It was best not to provoke such a madman!

"I dare not presume to offer my guidance. Please speak plainly about what you have to say. There is no need to beat around the bush!" Even as he responded, Pangu's past self remained unchanged, continuing to gather his strength.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony. Our first question is, is this edge of chaos truly the barrier of this chaotic world? I have a lingering doubt in my mind: if it is the barrier of the chaotic world, why does it exert pressure on us? Why does it impact and destroy the Great Thousand Worlds, leading them to destruction?" Yang Mei said, her gaze fixed on Pangu's past self, awaiting his answer and explanation. "I don't know. I don't know the answer to your question either, but this edge is extremely dangerous, possessing a mysterious and terrifying destructive power. Even the Great Thousand Worlds are powerless before it, and its outbursts are completely unpredictable. However, every time it unleashes its terrifying destructive power, this edge becomes much weaker. This is the opportunity I've been waiting for."

When they heard Pangu's words, both Yang Mei and Shi Chen were shocked. They had never expected Pangu to tell them this secret so directly, since such a secret could greatly help their safety.

"Do you find this unbelievable, or do you think I would deceive you?" Seeing that Yang Mei and Shi Chen had not spoken for a long time, Pangu's past self asked calmly, his expression remaining calm and unchanging!

“We don’t believe you would do anything to deceive us. If we didn’t trust you, we wouldn’t be here. It’s just that all of this happened so suddenly that it’s unbelievable. You told us such a big secret without asking for anything in return, which has left us a little bewildered!” Yang Mei said with a sigh, her eyes filled with shock.
"Hehe, you're overthinking it. What's so incredible about it? Do you think I alone can break free from the chaotic world? Besides, you don't think this edge of chaos is the real chance to escape. I'm not sure either, otherwise it wouldn't be my past self coming, but my present and future selves descending together, gathering the strongest power to tear this space apart." As he spoke, Pangu finally changed, letting out a long sigh, a faint trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

If he possessed absolute power, he wouldn't have made such arrangements. Within the primordial world, his future self is watching over things, while outside the primordial world, his present self guards the armies of chaotic beasts, preventing even more terrible calamities from descending. To put it bluntly, he lacked confidence and certainty, and the immeasurable calamity was the only opportunity; therefore, he needed to make comprehensive preparations!
"So, Fellow Daoist Pangu also doubts this borderland. I wonder if you know if there is another power besides the Great Dao in the Chaos World, or perhaps another being that can control the rules?" At this moment, Yang Mei finally asked the question in his heart, but when he said these words, there was a faint excitement in his eyes!
"I have indeed sensed the power you mentioned, but I don't know what kind of existence it is. The source of this power is at the edge of this chaotic world, or even the entire edge of the chaotic world. It can even be found on the bodies of chaotic beasts!"

Upon hearing the words "Pangu's past self," Yang Mei and Shi Chen were both speechless. They were shocked to learn this secret, as this power was something they hadn't previously perceived, yet it wasn't a secret to Pangu; he had known it all along. This was the gap between them and Pangu, and it was far greater than they had imagined.

"Fellow Daoist Pangu, you have been reluctant to take the initiative and are wary of the Chaos Dao. Is it because you are worried that this power is related to the Chaos Dao, or that the two are originally one? Your nurturing and planning of the Heart of the Great Dao is to test whether your guess is correct. Do you have any conclusions now?" Shi Chen finally couldn't help but ask Pangu, and he went straight to the heart of the matter and the truth of the matter.

"No, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Even after conducting some experiments and probes, I still haven't gained anything. At most, I've only broken free from the shackles of the river of time, but there's still a long way to go before I can truly escape from the chaotic world. At the very least, I need to see the outcome of the immeasurable eon. Perhaps only when the immeasurable eon ends will I be able to see everything clearly and understand the reason!"

With the immeasurable calamity approaching, would the Great God Pangu be without worry or vigilance? Yes, but there are many things he cannot do, because he cannot alert the enemy, nor can he force the Chaos Dao to disregard the constraints of the rules. If the Chaos Dao no longer abides by the rules, then all their plans will fail, and they will have no chance of transcending the mortal realm.

Before absolute power, any scheming is a joke. In Pangu's eyes, the Great Dao of Chaos possessed such power. It was precisely because of this doubt and worry that the Great God Pangu cooperated with the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, which led to the creation of the world and the evolution of the primordial world, and ultimately, Pangu chose to break free from the shackles of the River of Time!
"Even you, fellow Daoist, are unaware of the reason behind this. It seems the immeasurable calamity is far more terrifying than we imagined, and this chaotic world is not as simple as we thought. A great war has already broken out in the primordial world, and perhaps it won't be long before we can verify it and learn this secret. If all of this is a conspiracy, a trap, or even a scheme, everything will soon be revealed to us. I hope things won't turn out to be the worst!"

Yang Mei sighed deeply, a hint of worry in his eyes. How could he not worry about something that even Pangu couldn't see through? If Pangu could see through all of this, then they would be safe. Unfortunately, even Pangu couldn't see through all of this now and needed to be cautious and guard against sudden crises, fearing that he might fall into a life-or-death situation!

However, the good thing is that they also obtained the existence of that mysterious power from Pangu, and even learned that its source is behind this edge of the land. If this is not the barrier of the chaotic world, but the chaotic world is just divided by this terrifying power, it means that the chaotic world is more terrifying than they thought!
Unfortunately, understanding all this was useless, since they lacked the strength to challenge this edge of the world, let alone break in. The entire world would be destroyed, so could their mere divine and demonic bodies withstand it? Moreover, Yang Mei and Shi Chen had severed their own origins of time and space, which posed the greatest crisis for them.

Could Pangu's past self have failed to see through Yang Mei and Shi Chen's situation? No, he had seen it all long ago, but he simply chose not to speak up, unwilling to offend these two and invite unnecessary trouble. Pangu was the most qualified to speak about the primordial aura of the chaotic gods and demons. After all, his creation of heaven and earth and the evolution of the primordial world gave him a deeper understanding of the essence of the three thousand chaotic gods and demons. No matter how sophisticated Yang Mei and Shi Chen's methods were, they couldn't hide it from him.

"Whether it's the worst-case scenario or not is not something we can decide. Don't think that just because you've cut everything off, you're free. Freedom without strength is the beginning of death. You don't know when you'll be killed or your soul will vanish. If you want to understand the secrets behind this, you should first improve your own strength. Without strength, no matter how many schemes you have, it's useless. In the face of absolute power, you are utterly vulnerable!"
