This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 1182 - 528: Yu Chen Becomes the Calamity Lord; World Annihilation in Progress!

[Daluo Heaven].

The busy deities gathered once again.

His pair of eyes seemed to contain the birth and death of myriad Great Dao, calmly gazing at Xuanqing, his tone as indifferent as ever, yet directly pointing to the core.

"The concept of [Daluo Heaven] can be described as unprecedented, but you only mentioned how to 'build' it, not how to 'traverse' it."

He paused, his voice clearly reaching the ears of every deity present:

"Epoch changes, all ways return to the Gui Ruins, the world reopens."

"This is not merely the silence of the Law, but the reappearance of the will to create heaven and earth. We... are to face Pangu directly."

When the name "Pangu" was uttered, the gods fell silent.

It was a forbidden name, the source of all "existence" in this epoch, and the witness to all "endings."

He is both the creator and the reckoner.

Any being born in this epoch, at the epoch's end facing Him, will encounter the most fundamental reckoning.

Xuanqing wasn't surprised by this at all, he nodded calmly and said something that made the gods ponder deeply:

"Facing Pangu, clashing with Chaos, whether we win or lose, it's not the new epoch I desire."

His meaning was clear.

If we win, Pangu naturally changes shifts and leaves directly.

If we lose, Pangu forces you to take his shift, then leaves.

Both outcomes are Pangu's will.

Taishang heard this, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, he asked more directly:

"Who are you planning to trick?"

With these words, the atmosphere suddenly became delicate.

The deities present were not dull-witted, they immediately understood the true play of this grand strategy—they needed a "substitute," a being of sufficient weight to take their place, to face Pangu in that destined confrontation.

Before Xuanqing could answer, Daoist Lord Yu Chen, beside him, already stroking the Qingping Sword, his eyes glimmering with wisdom and calculation, said with a slightly justified smile:

"Is it Hong Jun?"

He glanced at everyone, spreading his hands as if stating a truth known to all primordial beings:

"The illustrious and majestic Holy Heavenly Emperor, the one behind all devious deeds is Hong Jun!"

"Pfft—"

Many deities almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

This crude word, yet accurate reasoning, is simply a highly refined summary of countless events since the primordial meeting.

The epoch's transition, such a colossal trap, letting that harmonized ancestor bear the burden seems only too reasonable.

However, Xuanqing slowly shook his head.

"Hong Jun is still not enough."

His words startled the gods.

Even the unified Heavenly Dao, almost as old as the current epoch, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, is not weighty enough to face Pangu?

Then who else qualifies?

Xuanqing did not keep them guessing, he uttered a name long sealed by time, yet causing the pupils of Immortal Yang Mei and other Chaos remnants to contract rapidly.

"[Time Demon God]."

"I plan to bring Him back."

This name seemed to carry a kind of magic power, causing a momentary stagnation in space-time within the Holy Hall.

Xuanqing calmly explained: "During Pangu's creation of heaven, the three thousand Demon Gods fell, their origin Dao transformed into the primordial foundation stones."

"Among them, [Time Demon God] was the most special."

"He was not simply slain; all of Him—including True Spirit, Dao, and even the concept of existence—was shattered by Pangu's great power and transformed into the Space-Time River that runs throughout this epoch."

Upon hearing this, the gods couldn't help but gasp.

They finally understood the terrifying logic within.

"One could say, the Time Demon God didn't die but is suppressed by the entire power of the Pangu epoch."

"Every moment beneath our feet, every instant we experience, is a part of His body, and a shackle that suppresses Him!"

Xuanqing's gaze became incredibly profound, as if he had already seen the scene at the end of the epoch.

"At the epoch's end, all laws return to the Gui Ruins, and the Space-Time River will naturally collapse. Then will be the day of the Time Demon God's liberation."

"Moreover," his words carried a subtle expectation and calculation.

"Upon liberation, He will inherit the great power of the entire epoch's Space-Time River."

"That power is sufficient to face Pangu."

A being suppressed by an entire epoch, yet inheriting its entire space-time power upon its end—a monster!

The gods finally understood Xuanqing's plan. What a crazy and exquisite concept this was! They needed not a mere scapegoat, but a piece capable of contending with Pangu, gaining enough time and space for them!

Taishang now completely comprehended, nodded, and joined the discussion, clearly outlining the subsequent steps of the plan:

"I understand. Following the original plan, as this epoch reaches perfection, I can borrow the merit of governance to leap over the final step."

He looked towards Daoist Lord Yu Chen: "Third brother, it's a hard task, to act as the Era Tribulation Master, perform the world-ending act, and complete the process of dominating at the end of the tribulation."

Then, his gaze fell on Luo Hou:

"Finally, we will lead the Mystic Sect immortals to collectively 'betray the Dao' and turn to the Demon Path."

"Thus, as Dao declines and magic rises, and the momentum reaches its peak, it will aid Luo Hou Daoist in transcending."

Taishang's words, calm and unhurried, painted an earth-shattering picture.

The end of an epoch will be perfectly utilized by these four giants, transformed into the final ladder to eternity for them all!

"With us four here."

Taishang concluded with absolute confidence in his eyes, "When the Time Demon God is liberated, to clash with Pangu, whether they win or lose, we can safely commence a new epoch in [Daluo Heaven]!"

At this moment, all deities fell silent.
