Chapter 375: Chapter 374: Pangu’s Purpose! (New Book Uploaded, Please Add to Favorites)

“The Underworld, you could say it amounts to nothingness!”

“We were supposed to be nothing, but now we exist, we belong to the virus, things that should not exist!”

“The Underworld, is merely executing a virus removal program!”

The late stage of sagehood.

While speaking, the cultivation levels of the five of them surged to the late stage of sagehood.

Only a short time is left before they will be possessed at the peak of sagehood.

The five of them reacted completely differently in the face of death.

Buddhist disciple Xuanzang, his face was filled with a smile, as if he was very satisfied.

In his world, the act of sacrificing oneself to save the world is a deed of boundless merit, and can lead one into the Western Paradise.

This idea of Western Paradise is not about whether it exists or not, but it lies within his heart, a beautiful world where he feels he can find inner peace.

Among the five, he was the only one smiling and seemed happy.

In comparison, Daoist disciple Jiang Ziya had a look of relief on his face.

To the Daoists’ wu wei (inaction), life and death are all natural laws in his heart, and no one can escape them. Since he can defy the heavens and acquire such a long life, he has already made a fortune. So, even if he dies now, it is of no concern.

Compared with Xuanzang’s self-deceiving illusion, Jiang Ziya displayed a calm attitude, facing death directly.

Buddhism and Daoism are paths of cultivation of the heart. The two of them showed the essence of their respective paths when facing death, fully proving that both are paragons of their respective paths.

Contrasting starkly with them, Li Hong and Luo Bin displayed entirely different reactions. One is the prince of the Jiuli dynasty, and the other the inheritor of the demon lineage.

On Li Hong’s face, there was more pain. Faced with his ancestor, he dared not resist and could not resist.

This sense of pain was destined from the moment he was born. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

All his honour and disgrace comes from the Jiuli Emperor. When the ancestor asked for his life, he couldn’t even muster the will to hate.

What he brought to himself was nothing but endless pain, a kind of torment brought by his status.

“Luohu, you son of a bitch, you damn old bastard. Why don’t you go to hell!”

In contrast to the painful Li Hong, Luo Bin, the inheritor of the demon way, had thoroughly embraced all aspects of the demon road, including its values.

In his eyes, reverence for the master and respect for the Dao were based only on the situation of his master being stronger than him.

Now, since it’s been confirmed that there is no escape and there is only a dead end, Luo Bin completely released his true nature and cursed furiously.

It was the only thing that made him feel better, and it was the only hysterics he could perform before his death.

Among the people present, each one had existed for a long time, hence they were indifferent to these meaningless curses.

Even Roho, the one being cursed, remained calm.

If he could be provoked into losing his composure by mere insults, then he wouldn’t have been able to attain the ability to become an ancestor in the Dao.

To him, Luo Bin’s saliva was of no concern.

Compared to the four who carry the characteristic traits of their respective inheritances, Du Gang behaved completely differently.

Written on his face was perplexity.

That’s right!

He was very confused.

Du Gang did not know why he was alive.

A long time ago when he first obtained the system of transforming into a giant, he believed that the purpose of his existence was to save the world and lead the people of Earth to survive.

However, soon after, the crisis on Earth was resolved, but then they encountered the crisis of the Waste Star Domain.

His mission consequently changed to saving Earth and defeating the enemy again.

Each time he thought he was about to complete his mission, a new crisis would emerge, and a new mission would commence.

Over and over again, until they arrived at the Primordial Continent.

He thought that he had to cultivate for a long time, reach an unprecedented height, just to be able to save the world.

Who would have thought, barely venturing beyond the Heavenly Court, he would reach the end of this road.

Is it the end now?

If he sacrifices his life this time, will it be over?!

Saving the world?

He didn’t want to do this all along!

Everything has been pushed forward!

He just wanted to live with his family!

The so-called mission, the so-called saving the world, was nothing more than an excuse he made up to escape his longing.

With Luo Bin’s cursing, the entire sacrificial altar was plunged into a deep silence.

No other sounds can be heard except for his curses.

Even Roho, had now lost the desire to explain to the five of them what the outside enemy really is.

As time passed bit by bit, finally, when the cultivation of the five reached the peak of sagehood.

Luo Bin stopped cursing and started begging instead.

“Ancestor, spare me, can you switch me out with someone else? Please, I don’t want to be the first one!”

At this moment, he had pretty much lost all face and dignity.

If the talents of the Northern Plains see this scene, they would undoubtedly feel mortified.

“Everyone, seize the time!”

Roho was feeling a little irritated. Having descendants without a sense of shame made him feel embarrassed in front of his old friends. He floated, falling toward Luo Bin’s body.

Upon seeing this, the other four supreme beings did not hesitate and quickly rose to their feet, floating towards the respective vessels in front of them.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Four consecutive soft explosions sounded as the four supreme beings easily completed the possession and took over the bodies that originally belonged to their respective disciples.

It was at this moment that the world seemed to return to its original state.

It was as if the Original Dao of the elements of wood, water, fire, and earth had returned to their origins after the four had taken possession.

However, Pangu Supreme was floating in front of Du Gang, stopping about an inch away.

“What’s wrong?”

Roho, who was now in Luo Bin’s body, quickly asked a question.

Pangu slowly turned around, looked at each of the Supreme Beings who had attached themselves to the bodies of their descendants, and smiled.

“Your plan is completed; now it’s my turn.”

“What do you mean?”

All four had a bad feeling and were about to take action when they saw Pangu wave his hand.

“Boom!”

Immediately, a powerful suppressive force arrived, pinning all four of them as well as the hundreds of sages present on the spot.

“This…”

All the sages present were in a panic, somewhat frightened, and did not understand what Pangu Supreme intended to do.

In the field, the four Supreme Beings, who had already taken over and possessed their bodies, frowned.

“Pangu, what are you trying to do?”

All four of them were somewhat angry at this moment. Pangu had tricked them, and in a situation they did not expect, he had paused his steps the moment they scattered their Original Dao.

Pangu smiled and said, “It’s nothing, don’t you think it’s quite boring to keep reincarnating like this?”

“Every ten billion years, possess once, then die once, let the world continue to live a little longer. Isn’t it boring?”

Roho frowned, “What do you want to do?”

Under the current circumstances, what other method is there to save the world if their five sacrifices have not been granted?

“Struggling to survive!”

Pangu shook his head, “I know what you are thinking. The so-called sacrifice does not involve our lives, but the lives of these carriers…”

“But have you ever thought, if so, we revive every ten billion years, what’s the difference from being dead?”

“Besides, this world will eventually be encroached upon. You and I both know that we are the villains, we are the virus, and there were no humans in the original world!”

Are we the villains?

Du Gang, who had escaped the First Tribulation, felt no relief, but was digesting Pangu’s words.

“The world was originally a void, a chaos, but the arrival of humans made the world no longer complete.”

Pangu seemed to be explaining to Du Gang, even though he was not looking at him, he still voiced the doubts in Du Gang’s heart.

The four Supremes trapped in their physical bodies were gradually returning to their true selves.

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable became indifferent, Tathagata Buddha became full of smiles.

God Emperor Jiuli wore a cold expression, while Demon Ancestor Roho was filled with anger.

At this moment, it was exactly as it had been before.

The expressions of the four inheritance recipients who were taken over by them were fully displayed on their own bodies.

Roho glared at Pangu and rebuked, “Do you want to return the world to chaos and exterminate humanity?”

Pangu shook his head, “No!”

Roho was furious, “If you don’t want to do that, why trap us?”

Pangu smiled, “Nothing much, I just want to resolve things once and for all, to completely resolve the aftermath and stop struggling to survive.”

His eyes were filled with vicissitudes and pain.

The Pangu Universe was created by him, which should have been a great merit, but countless humans lost their lives because of it.

The Primordial Human Tribe has long-lasting lives, while the cosmic human tribe lives a fate worse than death.

In the Primordial Continent, there are no true birth, old age, sickness, and death, all of these are just learned from the smaller worlds.

The real sufferers are the beings of the countless smaller worlds.

Roho clearly saw the emotions in Pangu’s eyes and frowned, “Do you pity those people from the smaller worlds?”

He rebuked, “The people from the smaller worlds are humans, and those from our Primordial Continent are not?”

“Pangu, you must understand that you are from the Primordial Continent!”

“You were born and raised here. You are not from a smaller world!”

Roho harbored hope in awakening Pangu.

In fact, he was the only one doing so.

The other three Supremes, no matter how glorious they were before, had already calculated the beginning and end at this moment. They knew that once Pangu had made this decision, there would be no other options.

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable was somewhat curious and asked, “Pangu, what do you plan to do now?”

The Dao of non-action in everything is natural. He was simply curious about what Pangu wanted to do.

Pangu smiled and said, “I want to collect all the Great Daos into one!”

“First-grade Great Dao, second-grade Great Dao, third-grade Great Dao, I want to bring them all together!”

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable understood and laughed, “Do you want to try that legend?”

“Legend?”

God Emperor Jiuli blinked, contemplated for two seconds, and then said, “Is it that legend that says that when all Dao’s are combined, there will appear a zero-grade Great Dao?”

Roho frowned, “The zero-grade Great Dao, it doesn’t exist at all!”

Pangu laughed, “Doesn’t it?”

“Isn’t everything just a reflection of the world? It’s not just our legends, but all!”

“Since the legend of the zero-grade Great Dao has been passed down, it means that it is correct!”

The four Supremes fell silent.

With their insight, he was right… the zero-grade Great Dao may indeed exist!

Roho looked a little uneasy and said, “Pangu, will the zero-grade Great Dao merge with Heavenly Dao?”

The rumors he had heard also included the zero-grade Great Dao merging with the Heavenly Dao to become a final entity.

In their view, the Heavenly Dao seems more like a law of natural operation, operating instinctively like a machine, without any self-consciousness.

The zero-grade Great Dao, on the other hand, represents a unique realm that humans have never reached before through the help of the Heavenly Dao. It is a conjecture that can completely transform into the Heavenly Dao, or even control the Heavenly Dao.

However, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever succeeded, nor has anyone ever experimented.

Jiuli was curious and questioned, “You have long established the gold element as the source, which is deeply rooted. Even if you want to integrate the Dao, I’m afraid it’s not that easy, right?”

He was still polite in his speech, but in fact, it might be much more difficult than that.

It was only after hearing Jiuli’s words that Roho suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!”

“Pangu, you want to integrate the Dao? Have you forgotten that you can’t integrate the Dao at all?”

At this moment, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

But the next second, he froze.

Because Pangu had moved aside, revealing Du Gang behind him.

The four of them had different expressions, some were thoughtful, some were suddenly enlightened, some had realized, and some were deeply distressed.

Roho couldn’t believe it, “You’re willing to give the matter of integrating the Dao to him?”

“To someone you’ve just met for the first time?”

Pangu glanced at Du Gang and nodded, “Yeah!”

“Although it’s the first time, I’ve seen his life!”

“He originally could have had a happy life, he could have enjoyed family happiness with his parents!”

“He could have gotten married and had children, he could have striven for his career, he could have lived the life he wanted with his own joys and sorrows!”

He sighed, “Unfortunately, I chose him. His life changed as a result. He has walked down the path that I chose for him.”

Roho’s face darkened and he took a while before saying, “Why can’t it be me? I have already abandoned my Dao now…”

“Hehe!”

Pangu just smiled, “You don’t understand!”

“You are not from a smaller world. You have not experienced birth, old age, sickness, and death. You can’t feel the pain they have!”

“You can’t resonate with them either!”

Roho was somewhat puzzled, “Why should I resonate with them?”

“If I integrate the Dao, I will surely make the world peaceful and happy, and this world will no longer bear the suffering from the underworld!”

Pangu shook his head, “If you integrate the Dao, the world will bear your surname Luo!”

He pointed at Du Gang and smiled, “But he’s different, if he integrates the Dao, the world… is still the world!”

He looked at Du Gang, full of kindness, and nodded, “Not only that, if he integrates the Dao, the world may become a normal one…”

“There will be no distinction between center and edge!”

Pangu smiled and said, “At least, it won’t be like now. The smaller worlds are supporting the larger world!”

“The people of the smaller worlds die for the people of the larger world!”

Roho frowned, “Aren’t you afraid that he will send people from the Primordial Continent to the edges to die for him?”

Pangu shook his head and laughed, “He won’t. That’s why I chose him!”
