Pangu created the world, that’s a legend.

It’s so long ago that no one even knows where it started and has been passed down to this day.

Now that he had seen Pangu’s true appearance, Xu Zhiqiu was so shocked that he was speechless.

“Don’t be surprised, I’m just doing what I should do.”

A heavy and ancient voice caused ripples in the starry sky and also caused a slight vibration on the surface of Xu Zhiqiu’s acupoints.

“Yes…” Having reached Xu Zhiqiu’s current state, his mind has long been as calm as water.

Even if a big shot was present at this moment, he would soon calm down.

“The Supreme One has created the universe since the beginning of time, creating something out of nothing. His achievements are boundless. It is not surprising that he is helping the universe at this time of decline.”

He called Pangu “the Supreme” and seemed to have great respect for him.

After observing his own acupoints with his mind, he asked:
“I have clearly already absorbed most of the innate purple light into my body, so why do I feel rejection and refuse to merge with it?”

Pangu Road:
“If you want to merge with the Dao, besides taking away all this innate purple light, you still need to break the last cage.”

“What cage?”

“Yourself. In other words, me.”

“Why?”

Xu Zhiqiu had a bad feeling.

As someone who had created the world, he was naturally generous, and he soon got his answer.

Below, in accordance with Pangu’s tone, “I” replaces “Pangu”————

“‘I’ am a congenital form. Everything in this world, including the universe and light, is created by me. Therefore, every acquired life in this universe… no, not just lives, but all known acquired energy, matter, earth, water, fire, and wind, all possess the divinity of ‘I’.”

“For acquired beings, the higher the level of cultivation, the higher and purer the divinity of the ‘I’ contained in the body.”

“Right now, you are the one who is closest to ‘me’. Although you are close to ‘me’, you are ultimately unable to break through your own limitations. So even if you have become a celestial being, you are still limited to the minor success of the acquired realm.”

After listening to his explanation, Xu Zhiqiu understood.

This is like a nouveau riche in a village. No matter how much money he makes, he can never become a wealthy family.

Don’t ask, if you ask I’ll tell you there’s something fundamentally wrong.

Xu Zhiqiu then asked:
“So, acquired creatures can never be in harmony with the innate Dao? If I want to force it… what else do I need to do?”

“Kill me. Or rather, kill yourself.”

As for how to kill, Pangu gave a specific explanation:
“Cut off your own karma, leaving only the acupoints and magic power, and completely abandon your acquired life form. Only in this way can you jump out of the cage of ‘I’. As an independent innate creature, you will naturally have nothing to do with this world. This universe and all living things have nothing to do with you anymore.”

“Your Majesty is joking.”

Xu Zhiqiu shook his head.
“I was born and raised here, how can I say it has nothing to do with it?”

“You weren’t born here.”

This made Xu Zhiqiu a little surprised, but Pangu said:
“This innate avenue is the supreme avenue that transcends all changes of cause and effect. As long as you are willing, after you merge with the avenue, you can choose a good place based on this avenue and create a boundless and vast world of dharma.”

As he spoke, Pangu pointed to another latitude for him and said half-jokingly:
“Look at that piece of land over there, isn’t that what someone is doing?”

Xu Zhiqiu followed his instructions and observed, and saw that in the distance of infinite time and space, a primitive universe that he had never seen before appeared.

The celestial rats who had previously ridiculed and even tripped others up were greatly frightened and hid themselves, not daring to show themselves.

They were afraid that Grandpa Pangu here would get angry and punch them from a distance.

That’s too much.

Ignoring those cowards, Xu Zhiqiu asked again:

“You mean, let me start over after I merge with the Dao, what about this side?”

Pangu said lightly:
“Now, the two parallel time and space are about to collide, and I will enter extinction. After I completely enter extinction, your acupoints will absorb all the material energy of this world, so that you can absorb all of this innate purple light. At that time, you can cut off your own body and start to merge with the Tao.”

“So it’s my fault that I harmed you.” Xu Zhiqiu expressed his apology.

In order to break the impasse, he manipulated the multiverse, which led to the current situation, and it was not just as easy as harming Pangu.

Pangu’s body is the foundation of the entire universe’s material energy. Pangu’s death is equivalent to the universe collapsing to zero.

But does he need to absorb all the nutrients of this “corpse” in order to be “reborn”?

Xu Zhiqiu was extremely confused for a moment.

Pangu comforted him:

“You’ve forgotten again that you are me, so isn’t this our common choice?”

“You are really annoying me.” He sighed bitterly:
“I have come this far, and I consider myself a person of some importance. But even if I had eight hundred guts, I would not dare to cause such a disaster. Alas, I really have no choice…”

Suddenly, he thought of something, and a crazy idea popped up in his mind.

It is said that the collision between the two worlds was caused by the attraction between the two drops of Pangu’s true blood… Could it be! ?
Xu Zhiqiu looked at Pangu in disbelief.

Pangu did not deny it and sighed:
“The living are the root of death, the dead are the beginning of life, the birth and death of the universe are also a part of reincarnation, so why should we be sad?”

“The previous universe collapsed and returned to zero. At that time, the last post-natal creature that died left a wisp of spirit and soul. It gathered the remaining heat of heat death and gave rise to a body, becoming the innate ancestor of this universe. This is the origin of ‘me’.”

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu just felt awkward.

Oh, so you don’t want to live anymore, but you want to drag all living beings in the universe to be buried with you?
Well, you are the ancestor of creation, so you naturally have this right.

It is impossible to measure a super being like Pangu using the ethics and morals of human civilization.

But the problem is…

“and many more!”

Xu Zhiqiu was distracted just now and smelled that something seemed to be wrong.

Pangu’s logic seems to have a missing link –

The last living being to perish in the previous universe – the innate ancestor – created the world…

Is there any inevitable connection between the two?
He was still unable to figure this out, but Pangu said:

“Now, you might as well treat me as an old man who is about to die. The choice is before you. Please make a careful decision. This is also my wish.”

He said with a smile:
“That’s why I chose you in the first place.”

“Choose me?”

Xu Zhiqiu was stunned and his expression suddenly changed.

“You mean…”

Pangu’s words are double entendres, but he actually admits:
“Just do good things and don’t worry about the future. Everything is already determined.”

“………”

Xu Zhiqiu was silent.

Suddenly, his eyes blurred. Pangu used the starry sky as a backdrop to create a huge painting spanning hundreds of millions of light years for him.

In the dark and boundless chaos, there is a translucent giant egg made up of the fetal membrane of the universe.

There is a person curled up in the dome, just like a baby in the womb.

“You see, that was the scene at that time. There was nothing in the universe. I curled up in that egg, feeling suffocated and irritated. It was pitch black all around. I often thought, how nice it would be if there was a beam of light…”

Then, the picture changed.

The legendary great spectacle of the creation of the world and the beginning of the universe appeared before Xu Zhiqiu’s eyes.

“Later, I split the chaos, and then the pure and the turbid evolved, and the new universe was born. I used my body as a stage, and gradually stars, mountains and rivers, dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, insects, ants, and beasts grew on the stage… I really liked those newly created creatures, especially when I saw them jumping around on my body, I felt really happy…”

When he said this, he sounded like an old father.

Xu Zhiqiu suddenly felt that the sage who created the world in front of him seemed like a nagging old lady.

“Mortals often say: If the sky had feelings, it would also grow old. This is true. I will also grow old.”

“I’ve seen enough of the impermanence of life and death, prosperity and decline, and the ups and downs of life. I’m tired of it and gradually I’m bored.”

“Slowly, until the galaxy flickered billions of times, I suddenly realized: compared with the beginning, this vast universe is just a bigger egg – it’s just that before it was my body that was trapped, but now it’s my soul that is trapped. I am still the beast trapped in the cage, with no end in sight.”

“I simply couldn’t move, and then I fell into a deep sleep, becoming a dead object without wisdom or consciousness. I lived in this state of confusion for thousands of years, until one day I woke up and looked out at the long river of cosmic light… It was still endless.”

When saying this, Pangu’s tone revealed extreme fatigue, which was the result of the thick dust accumulated over billions of years.

What could Xu Zhiqiu say? At this moment, in front of this “old man”, he could only listen obediently.

But he still couldn’t help asking:
“You regret it, don’t you?”

“Do you regret it? I guess so.”

“I often think: since there is no regret medicine in this world, let me be a spectator. So young man, please choose for me again. Even if I can only be a spectator this time, I might as well watch you embark on a new path…”

Xu Zhiqiu didn’t feel good.

Choose again?
In other words, he had done this problem before?
So now, what should I do?

Kill me and achieve harmony?

Or… (End of this chapter)
