Chapter 2179: Chapter 727: The Key

A thatched cottage located somewhere within the Yin Yang Sea.

"——What’s there to praise? The methods of Engraving Heaven and Carving Heaven both originated from Pangu. Father God used engraving and carving to create our forms and those of the Twelve Ancestor Gods, which are also the origin of all creation methods.

After his death, these two Heavenly Rules were left in my hands. Unfortunately, I am incompetent and have only been able to guard his power, never able to go further."

An old man with a dragon head sat cross-legged inside the house, speaking as he focused on engraving and carving a scale taken from the ’Chaos Primordial Crocodile’.

The carving knife he was using was actually completely gathered by wind power, cutting into the solid primordial crocodile scale as if carving decayed wood.

The old man continued to ramble: "So it’s not wrong to say the Twelve Ancestor Gods are Pangu’s offspring. They are gathered from Father God’s blood and sweat, created by him alone."

At this moment, the ’Initial Heavenly Emperor’ Shen Zhenru also sat beside him.

She watched coldly as the old man finished carving the scale and then threaded it onto the gold thread of a nearby piece of black scale armor.

The scale armor was nearing completion, and the black divine light it emitted caused everything within the thatched cottage to become solidified.

She spoke calmly: "Indeed, you are beings created by Pangu and it’s right to regard him as Father God, but it’s also true that your group consumed Pangu."

"We only fused with the source quality!"

The old man, almost trembling with anger, turned to glare at Shen Zhenru: "It’s the will of Father God! We were only statues at the time, without life before fusing with Father God’s source quality. How could we consume Pangu?"

He then returned his attention to the scale in his hand, looking resentful: "The Profane God Stele you crafted is indeed excessive."

"That was Shen Bore’s handiwork; it’s indeed malicious."

Shen Zhenru nodded slightly: "But I’m more curious about why Pangu did this? What was his purpose in creating you all?"

As she spoke, her expression suddenly shifted, glancing outside the cottage.

In that moment, the old fierce beast ’Chaos’ that she had summoned suddenly became unusually restless. It paced back and forth and emitted a low, muffled growl from its throat.

At first, Shen Zhenru was puzzled by this initial Chaos’ unrest, then she understood.

The Yin Yang Sea they were in was the remnant of Chaos, hence the extra close connection.

Shen Zhenru sensed some change in the Chaos Heavenly Rules between heaven and earth.

The chaos skill between heaven and earth and the chaos of the fierce beast ’Chaos’ had diverged greatly.

The old man also noticed the changes outside, peering past the grass curtain to look at the mighty army of fierce beasts outside.

Chaos, Qiong Qi, Taowu, Taotie, Zhu Huai, Xiang Liu, Ba Snake, Dang Kang, Changyou, Ming Snake, Meng Ji, Shan Hui, Gu Diao, Xieshu, Bifang, Vermilion, Feiniu, Ao yin——

These powerful Chaos Gods and their numerous offspring, all gathered in front of his thatched cottage. Their numbers reached as high as thirty thousand, vast and majestic.

Before Chaos roared out, they hadn’t made any sound, standing firm and unmoving as if a well-trained army.

The old man couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle. Suppressing the unrest in his chest, he mused: "It seems the Chaos Heavenly Rules have already found a Creator, Chaos is no longer chaos, its power has weakened, hence its resentful unrest."

Not only Chaos had changed, but also Vengeance.

The changes in the Vengeful Sky Rules were even more intense than that of Chaos.

"It’s the Fourth Generation Saint Emperor of the Human Clan, he has already begun to see eternally the ceremonies of the All Heavens Secret Ceremony."

Shen Zhenru incredulously clicked her tongue: "He’s advancing to eternity so fast! The terrifying part is that this is merely the prelude to the ceremony. I can’t imagine the strength he will possess on the day he steps into eternity.

No wonder he could threaten and kill Shen Bore, not only is he extraordinarily talented, but his actions are always unexpected, surpassing even the former East Emperor. By the way, you haven’t answered my previous question."

"Before your death, didn’t you guess the truth? The Twelve Ancestor Gods were created by him to stabilize the world as pillars, whereas we Nine Dragon Sons were meant to hold up the world as beams. But now, though the pillars remain, they are less stable, and most of the nine beams have already collapsed and are incomplete."

The old man spoke with a desolate expression.

Six of his eight brothers have already fallen, with no hope of regathering their true spirits.

The old man sighed: "If these beams and pillars collapse, Pangu’s source quality will be taken by that one, and he will become the true Transcendence Master between heaven and earth. Our world will also meet its end, and all life between heaven and earth will be erased in consciousness.

What you arranged two hundred and twenty million years ago was precisely to prevent this terrible disaster from occurring. After your death, millions of years later, Long Xi and his offspring were also working on that matter, but unfortunately, the efforts were almost in vain."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhenru couldn’t help but frown: "You could speak a bit clearer."

Before her own death, she had already guessed the truth? What arrangements had she made?

Who was the person the old man referred to?

The old man’s hint was very obvious. Shen Zhenru seemed to recall something, resulting in a sharp pain inside her mind.

The pain was so intense that Shen Zhenru had to tilt her head slightly, pressing a hand against her temple.
