Primordial Salted Fish: Starting from Refusing to Join the Demon Clan

The words of slaughtering gods and demons, like cold blades of law, pierced through the deep truth beneath the surface of the primordial world.

Kunpeng stood in the sealed space filled with crimson killing intent, its body shimmering with spiritual light, and the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit beneath its feet radiating golden light, desperately resisting the terrifying pressure of the source of the killing god and demon.

His heart was in turmoil, but his face remained calm as he asked in a deep voice, "Since this method (replacing chaos with a new world to achieve eternity) is not applicable to you chaotic gods and demons, then why did you do everything in your power to stop Pangu in the first place?"

The phantom of the demon-slaying god swayed slightly, its manic smile widening, and a dark and profound aura spread out: "Pangu's desire to create a new world and prove eternity is essentially to break through chaos and eliminate chaos!"

The process of creating a new world is the process of devouring the primordial chaos!

He paused, a destructive glint flashing in his dark purple pupils: "How easy is it to create a complete world capable of supporting the eternal Dao and replacing endless chaos?"

"The Great Dao is formless and without appearance; it can be transformed into one, and it can also give rise to all things."

"In the chaos, how many billions of living beings are there?"

"But those who can be called 'Chaotic Gods and Demons' number only three thousand!"

"Each of us is the ultimate embodiment of a certain aspect of the Great Dao."

"Holding the unique imprint of the Great Dao!"

"This is the origin of the Three Thousand Great Daos!"

"Pangu is ambitious, desiring to seize control of the Great Dao of the new world single-handedly!"

"Although he possesses three supreme treasures of chaos—the sharpness of the Heaven-Opening Axe, the solidity of the Chaos Green Lotus, and the enlightenment of the Creation Jade Disc—his own rudimentary understanding of the three thousand Great Daos is simply insufficient to support him in accomplishing such a great feat!"

The tone of the God of Slaughter was mocking: "Beneath the chaos, the Great Dao imprint controlled by each Chaos God and Demon is the ultimate manifestation of their Dao."

"Unless gods and demons perish and the mark is vacant, no one else can surpass its master in this path, let alone attempt to completely control it!"

"Therefore, even though Pangu ultimately relied on the three great treasures of chaos to forcibly create the world, he was fully aware of the truth."

"Apart from the Law of Force, his understanding of the other laws is far from sufficient to fully master and utilize them!"

"There is absolutely no way he could ascend to the heavens in one step and achieve that supreme and eternal path!"

The Demon God of Slaughter calmly replied, "Pangu was no fool; how could he not know?"

"Therefore, if we hadn't attacked him, he might have first created a prototype of Jiaotong University's world and made plans gradually, rather than rushing to eliminate the entire chaos in one fell swoop."

"That way, he might not have died from exhaustion in the battle that created the world."

Kunpeng frowned, his gaze sharp as lightning, piercing through layers of killing intent to lock onto the illusory figure: "But you still made your move! There must be a reason you had no choice but to do so!"

"good!"

The phantom of the God of Slaughter's true spirit fluctuated violently, and a dark purple light trace containing the source of destruction drew a tearing trajectory in the void.

"Three thousand gods and demons, each holding a mark—this is the authority and shackles bestowed by the Great Dao!"

"Under the Great Dao, no living being can surpass the Chaos God or Demon who wields that mark in the corresponding Dao!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with resentment and anger: "If Pangu wanted to create the eternal Great Way of the new world, he had to make our 'Way'..."

"The Dao imprints of us three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons have been completely integrated into the new world and are now under his control!"

"If he cannot achieve this, even if he succeeds in creating the world and survives by sheer luck, he will at best be merely the 'Heavenly Dao' of a new world, worlds apart from the supreme and eternal 'Great Dao'!"

"Attaining eternal enlightenment is not something that can be achieved overnight!"

"If we stand idly by, Pangu can use the power of the Chaos Lotus to stabilize the universe after creating the nascent primordial world, and then calmly hunt down us Chaos Gods and Demons, seizing the Great Dao Imprints one by one to perfect his world and expand his territory!"

"Until finally, this newly born primordial world completely replaces the ancient chaos!"

The phantom of the slaughtering gods and demons exuded intense resentment and fear, "At that time, we, the chaotic gods and demons, will truly become fish on Pangu's chopping block, at his mercy!"

"Rather than sit idly by and wait to die, becoming a stepping stone for others to achieve their enlightenment, why not take a gamble?! Why must he, Pangu, be the only one to become the master of this new world?!"

A complex undertone lingered beneath the frenzied madness of slaughtering gods and demons: "Besides, Pangu is not the only one with such ambitions. Timing, destiny, pride, order..."

"Which of them hasn't already been quietly evolving its own nascent world in the hidden corners of chaos, making the same attempts?"

"However... they don't possess Pangu's overwhelming power to cleave half of the chaos, nor do they have his heaven-defying luck to be born with a Chaos Treasure and find two more!"

A glint flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, and he slowly nodded: "So that's how it is... The War of Creation was not a one-man battle between Pangu and the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, but an unprecedented war waged by the three thousand gods and demons for the chance to prove their immortality!"

"However, if chaos is destroyed, wouldn't the Great Dao perish along with it? Why does the Great Dao show no reaction?"

The Demon God of Slaughter seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, looking at Kunpeng with a mocking expression: "It seems you have no idea what the Great Dao is!"

"The Great Dao is not a living being, has no will, and has no calculation!"

"The Great Dao is not a living being, has no will, and has no calculation!"

It is simply the rule, the origin, the very existence itself!

"If Pangu succeeds and replaces chaos with a new world, he will be the new Great Dao!"

"If Pangu fails, chaos remains, so what harm is done to the Great Dao? It needs no reaction!"

"As a result, Pangu failed."

Kunpeng pressed on relentlessly, "So, what stage has the primordial world reached now? During the Great Calamity of Creation, did Pangu successfully collect your Dao Imprints?"

"Success? Ha!"

The tone of the Demon Slayer was filled with extreme sarcasm: "Pangu did indeed gather all three thousand Great Dao imprints!"

"But that extremely fierce battle also exhausted all his strength!"

"The Heaven-Opening Divine Axe shattered, the Chaos Green Lotus was broken, and only the Creation Jade Disc remained, which he forcibly used to contain the three thousand restless imprints of the Three Thousand Great Daos!"

His voice turned low and cold: "However, with the fall of the Chaos Gods and Demons, their Dao imprints should have returned to the origin of chaos, awaiting the rebirth of new gods and demons!"

"This is the law of chaos, and it cannot be changed!"

"Pangu's forceful collection and imprisonment of the three thousand marks is an overreaching act that cannot be sustained for long!"

"In that situation, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and forcefully create a new heaven!"

"The consequence of forcibly creating the world was that he created a 'half-finished' world with an unstable foundation and chaotic laws!"

"The Jade Disc of Creation, which bore the weight of the Three Thousand Great Daos, shattered under its own power!"

"And Pangu himself was crushed by the terrifying squeezing force of the backlash from the three thousand Great Dao imprints and the origin of chaos!"

His flesh, bones, primordial spirit, and even the imprint of his Dao of Power were completely integrated into this unfinished product called "Primordial Chaos," barely preventing it from collapsing! "Kill!"

The voice of the Demon Slayer carried a subtle complexity, "At that time, I was not the only one who hid my last strength, along with my true spirit's essence, within the Great Dao imprint of my own body, hoping to escape this calamity and find a glimmer of hope in the future primordial world, or rather, to seize Pangu's achievements and glimpse the eternal Great Dao..."

"That's enough!"
