Rewriting the Gods

"Fellow Daoist, please continue your seclusion. I will wait for the day when you achieve enlightenment. I will not disturb you any longer."

Looking at Jiang Haofeng, who seemed to be deep in thought, Hongjun Ancestor cupped his hands slightly and said.

Seeing this, Jiang Haofeng couldn't help but gather his thoughts and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Dao Ancestor!"

"It's a small matter. Even if I don't say it, you will know after you attain enlightenment."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing, fellow Daoist, you need to be careful about."

Before Jiang Haofeng could ask, Ancestor Hongjun spoke again: "Back then, when Chaos gave birth to three thousand demon gods, Fellow Daoist Pangu, in order to prove the Dao, used his power to break through all laws and defeated all three thousand demon gods."

"After Pangu created the heavens, the demons and gods were worried that Pangu would take another step forward in his cultivation and completely surpass them. They also wanted to support Pangu so that they could kill him at the critical moment of creation and return chaos to its former state."

Jiang Haofeng nodded slightly upon hearing this. When a person appears in a group of people who is much stronger than everyone else, there are only two possible outcomes: either this person overwhelms everyone with absolute strength and becomes the king of the crowd.

Alternatively, this person will be attacked by the group, since without him, everyone else will be back to the same starting line.

Pangu encountered the latter situation.

"However, Fellow Daoist Pangu's power far exceeds our imagination. Even with the siege of three thousand demon gods, they could not do anything to Fellow Daoist Pangu. Ninety-nine percent of the three thousand demon gods were killed or injured, and only a few barely survived."

"Fellow Daoist Pangu was also seriously injured. After the creation of the world, he merged into the primordial world and used the primordial origin to draw on the power of chaos to recover himself."

"You should all know what happened next."

"Not many survived back then. Later, the few of us old guys who were lucky enough to survive fought again. Qiankun and Yin Yang Daoist completely perished, and Yangmei Daoist fled far away to the Chaos."

"The Demon Ancestor Rahu was also severely injured and fled the prehistoric world."

"Whether it was Luo Hou or Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, they were both at the peak of Quasi-Saint, and they had a very deep understanding of their own Great Dao. They were only one step away from becoming Great Dao Saints."

“Especially Rahu, whose demonic path is particularly skilled in killing and warfare, his combat power far surpasses that of other fellow Daoists of the same realm.”

"With your current abilities, there's nothing to worry about. But the Demon Ancestor is cunning, and given how much time has passed, I don't know how far they've come. I can only be certain that they haven't yet attained enlightenment."

"Fellow Daoist is in the midst of chaos, and the phenomena that occurred during your seclusion were extremely grand, which may attract them. At that time, Fellow Daoist will need to be careful."

As soon as Hongjun Laozu finished speaking, Jiang Haofeng's face also showed a hint of solemnity. Demon Ancestor Rahu, Yangmei Daxian.

These two are no ordinary people. If we trace their origins back, they are both chaotic demons from before the creation of the world, even more ancient than the primordial gods and demons of the prehistoric era.

Several eons ago, these people were already top-tier powerhouses in the primordial world, let alone now.

"May I ask the Ancestor, how do the skills of Rahu and Yangmei compare to mine?"

Seeing Jiang Haofeng's solemn expression, Ancestor Hongjun shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, do not underestimate yourself."

"The old Taoist once said that since the birth of chaos, only two and a half beings have reached this stage."

"First is Fellow Daoist Pangu, second is the old Daoist, and as for this half, it is Fellow Daoist."

"Although Luo Hou and Fellow Daoist Yang Mei have profound cultivation, they are still one step away from the Great Dao Realm, and that one step is an insurmountable chasm!"

"On the other hand, although you are only half a cultivator, you have already stepped into this realm, but you cannot completely stabilize it."

"Even if it is not stable, you can still use this illusory Great Dao Wheel to make a move. At this moment, you are a true Great Dao Saint. Even an old Daoist would have to temporarily avoid its sharp edge, let alone someone who has not yet attained the Dao."

"Moreover, with your current understanding of the Great Dao, even without this illusory Wheel of the Great Dao, you are not necessarily inferior to Rahu and Fellow Daoist Yangmei."

"This old Daoist is merely reminding you, fellow Daoist, that the extraordinary phenomenon you witnessed in your path to enlightenment is far too grand, and that you are located in the depths of chaos, the main territory of chaotic beings. I urge you to be cautious."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haofeng nodded and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, Dao Ancestor."

"I'll be more careful."

After a pause, Jiang Haofeng spoke again: "May I ask Ancestor, how many Chaos Demons and Gods still remain in the Chaos? Are only Rahu and Yangmei left?"

This is also the situation that Jiang Haofeng is most concerned about right now. In the end, the primordial world is just a part of chaos.

Having reached Jiang Haofeng's level, he naturally cannot focus solely on the Primordial World. Although the Primordial World is the most central and brilliant world of Chaos, it is not the entirety of Chaos.

Long ago, Jiang Haofeng wanted to understand the entire Chaos, but unfortunately, with the Dao Ancestor guarding the Primordial World, there was not a single Chaos being around it, not even a Chaos beast!
This range is extremely vast, even exceeding the limits of a sage's divine sense. If calculated according to the size of the primordial world, it is approximately one hundred times the diameter of the primordial world.

It wasn't until they exceeded this distance that chaotic beasts began to appear. Jiang Haofeng even encountered two on his way to seclusion here, but their strength was average, only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Beyond this distance lies the depths of chaos, which is the area where Jiang Haofeng is currently located. However, Jiang Haofeng has only just entered and has not yet gone deep into the area.

After all, the most urgent task at present is to make breakthroughs, not to explore chaos.

However, with the Dao Ancestor by my side right now, I might as well take this opportunity to ask.

The Dao Ancestor made no attempt to conceal anything and spoke directly:

"Of course not."

"Old Daoist, Yangmei, Qiankun, Yinyang, and Luohou are just five demon gods who chose to enter the prehistoric world. Back then, there were many other chaotic demon gods who escaped with their lives and then fled to the chaos."

"I don't know exactly how many Chaos Demon Gods are in this part. After all, each Demon God cultivates a different Great Dao, has different methods, and different escape skills. I don't know exactly how many there are."

"However, I do know two people. One is the Life Demon God. His divine and demonic body was shattered, but he escaped with his life by relying on the Great Dao of Life and his companion magic treasure, and fled to the Chaos."

"There is also the God of Cause and Effect. Although his divine and demonic body was shattered and his divine soul was annihilated, a wisp of his true spirit escaped along the causal line at the end."

"These two old Taoist priests are the ones I'm sure are alive. As for the others, I don't know anything about them."

"Chaos is not like the primordial world. Chaos is boundless and limitless. Even a Great Dao Saint cannot investigate all of Chaos!"

At this point, Hongjun Patriarch suddenly turned his head and smiled, "By the way, there is another demon god that you, fellow Daoist, should be interested in."

"Oh?"

Jiang Haofeng was slightly taken aback, and immediately said, "Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."

"The Chaos Demon Ape, the God of War, once faced Pangu directly. He used his own fighting spirit to forcefully confront the Great Dao of Pangu's power. His soul was annihilated, leaving only his physical body, which fell into the primordial world and transformed into the Four Chaos Monkeys."

"Sun Wukong, one of the four monkeys who are currently on the journey to the West, is one of them. Moreover, the two Western Saints have already gathered the remaining three of the four monkeys."

Jiang Haofeng smiled and shook his head. "So that's how it is. No wonder Jieyin and Zhunti dared to bet with me. It turns out they were relying on the Chaos Demon Ape." "After all, it concerns the path of cultivation, and there is no way back. They must have something to rely on."

Hongjun, the patriarch standing to the side, also spoke up with a smile.

"Thank you for the reminder, Dao Ancestor. I understand now."

"good!"

Hongjun Patriarch nodded, then spoke again: "Of the Chaos Gods who survived back then, this is about all I know."

"But compared to the primordial world, chaos was the first place where living beings were born. However, the conditions in chaos were too harsh, and ordinary living beings could not survive there."

"Therefore, the number of beings born from chaos is small, but their strength is great. Even the weakest one, according to the primordial immortal path, is comparable to a Golden Immortal."

"Among them, there are quite a few Taiyi Immortals and Daluo Immortals!"

After a pause, a serious look appeared on Hongjun Ancestor's face. "These are the weaker ones. As for the stronger ones, there are quite a few comparable to Quasi-Saints, and even some powerful beings who are not necessarily weaker than us."

"In the past, the chaos could give birth to three thousand demon gods. Although the core of the chaos has been occupied by the primordial world, powerful beings can still be born around it."

"It's a pity that I'm stuck in one place and can't travel far. I can only use my supernatural powers to observe in secret. I don't know the specific situation in the depths of chaos."

"I can only guarantee that there are no Dao Saints who have attained the Great Dao in the depths of Chaos, and no one can threaten me."

As soon as Hongjun Laozu finished speaking, Jiang Haofeng couldn't help but nod. Just as Hongjun Laozu said, if the chaos of the past could give birth to Pangu and three thousand chaos gods, why couldn't the chaos of the future give birth to new chaos gods?

There must be new Chaos Gods existing in the Chaos, but they dare not offend the majesty of Hongjun, the Great Dao Saint, and dare not approach the surrounding area of ​​the Primordial World. They live only in the depths of the Chaos, which even Hongjun cannot detect, a place completely different from the rules of the Primordial World.

Similarly, that place will be the key to solving the limitations on the development of the human race.

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes. After breaking through, he had to go and take a look at the depths of chaos.

However, as his thoughts settled, a new confusion arose in Jiang Haofeng's mind. He already knew that Hongjun Ancestor could not leave the prehistoric world. After all, the story of Dao Ancestor preaching the immortal path three times in Zixiao Palace and merging with the Heavenly Dao was known to almost everyone in the prehistoric world above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

The problem is, why did the Dao Ancestor merge with the Heavenly Dao? Jiang Haofeng only knew that the Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao to mend the world, but he knew nothing else about it.

Previously, Jiang Haofeng thought that the Dao Ancestor needed to rely on the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao also needed to rely on the power of the Dao Ancestor to stabilize the Three Realms, which is why the Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao.

But now that he has truly reached this realm, Jiang Haofeng understands that since the Dao Ancestor has attained enlightenment, he no longer needs to merge with the Heavenly Dao to enhance his combat power.

The Great Dao Sage is an extremely profound and mysterious realm.

At this level, one is either enlightened or not. Without enlightenment, even if one's body is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, one cannot attain a level comparable to enlightenment.

That is a realm of profound mystery, which cannot be reached by relying on the power of the world.

If one's Dao realm is insufficient, even the greatest magical power is futile.

Similarly, once one has attained enlightenment, the blessing of the Heavenly Dao is naturally useless and cannot provide any assistance to the one who has attained enlightenment.

For Hongjun Laozu, whether or not he receives the help of the Heavenly Dao makes no difference; it has no impact whatsoever.

Otherwise, the Hongjun Ancestor would not have separated the Primordial Purple Qi, creating six Heavenly Dao Saints and eight Heavenly Dao Half-Saints!

With Hongjun Patriarch right before him, Jiang Haofeng didn't hesitate and immediately asked the question. Hongjun Patriarch smiled and didn't hide anything, replying:

"This matter is rather complicated, so I'll keep it brief."

“When Fellow Daoist Pangu created heaven and earth, it was not actually a perfect world. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Pangu would not have merged with heaven and earth to complete the Dao of Heaven.”

"For Fellow Daoist Pangu, it doesn't matter where he heals; there's no need to merge with the primordial world."

After a pause, Hongjun Ancestor spoke again: "In fact, the world created by Fellow Daoist Pangu only contains the Great Dao of Power. It is a world that belongs exclusively to Fellow Daoist Pangu."

"If no unforeseen circumstances occur, the world that Fellow Daoist Pangu ultimately creates will be a world inhabited only by beings similar to the Wu Clan, and the people in it should all cultivate the Great Dao of Power."

"However, due to the siege of three thousand demon gods by Fellow Daoist Pangu, Fellow Daoist Pangu went on a killing spree in a fit of rage. Countless demon gods perished, and their shattered bodies, along with their divine souls and the Great Dao laws they cultivated, were all scattered into the newly born primordial world."

"Only in this way did we come to the primordial world we see today, with its three thousand great Daos and all-encompassing nature."

"But the foundation of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons is so vast that countless laws and Great Daos collided, and the newly born primordial world simply could not withstand it. It was about to completely collapse and disperse into the chaos."

"Fellow Daoist Pangu cannot bear to see the world he created collapse. Moreover, a world that can contain so many Great Dao Laws is unprecedented. If it disperses now, there may never be such a good opportunity to gather the Three Thousand Great Daos again."

"Therefore, Fellow Daoist Pangu directly merged into heaven and earth, suppressing the Great Dao Laws of the three thousand demon gods, which made the prehistoric world stable."

"Although the power of the Great Dao of the three thousand demon gods was suppressed by Fellow Daoist Pangu, the power of the Great Dao that escaped was enough to change the prehistoric world, and gradually, the prehistoric world we know today came into being!"

"And these are things that the old Taoist only understood after he attained enlightenment."

At this point, a hint of excitement appeared on the face of the Hongjun Ancestor. "Fellow Daoist, do you know how rare it is for a world to simultaneously gather three thousand Chaos Great Daos?"

“In the chaos, worlds are not uncommon; any chaotic demon god can create a stable and functioning vast world.”

"Any living being in the chaos, even the weakest Golden Immortal, can carve out its own world within the chaos!"

"But in those worlds, there is only one Great Dao, one Law, or at most a few complementary Laws, like the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

"To possess three thousand Great Dao Laws, encompassing almost all existing Great Daos in the Chaos, this is the only one of its kind in the entire Chaos!"

"The primordial world is far too precious!"

"The Great Dao Saint opened it up, and the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons laid the foundation. Its appearance itself is a variable. If we miss it, we may never encounter it again."

"I could not bear to see this world perish, so I merged with the Heavenly Way to complete it and restore order to the Three Thousand Great Daos."

"When the immeasurable calamity arrives and Fellow Daoist Pangu returns, and the suppressed origins of the three thousand gods and demons are fully released, I hope that we can give the prehistoric world a better chance to survive."

"If we can hold out, then the primordial world will truly become the undisputed core of the entire chaos!"

"If we can gather the essence of three thousand chaotic gods and demons, this old Daoist dares not even imagine how powerful this world would become!"

"How prosperous the creatures must be there."

At this point, a hint of anticipation appeared on the face of the Hongjun Ancestor, as if he were looking forward to the complete transformation and sublimation of the primordial world after 479,999,994 kalpas!
A look of shock appeared on Jiang Haofeng's face. He hadn't expected that the currently powerful Primordial World hadn't reached its limit yet. The foundation of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons hadn't been completely assimilated and absorbed; it had only been suppressed by Pangu. (End of Chapter)
