Chapter 1002: Chapter 362: Destiny in Motion

“Pangu opens the heavens, chaos begins to divide…”

One by one, easily understood words emerge from the stone tablet.

Every small character glows with a golden light, scrolling down automatically, making the reading feel like looking at an electronic book full of words.

The scroll speed is acceptable for Han Zhan, the information transforms from words, and begins to flow into his mind:

Pangu opens the heavens, chaos begins to divide.

As the first to cleave the chaotic heavens and earth, Pangu’s companion divine soldier is the Ancient Divine Soldier nurtured within chaos, the Pangu Axe.

When chaos was divided into clarity, Pangu, who had the merit of opening the heavens and creating the earth, exhausted his power and died.

His flesh body transformed into the world, becoming the First Universe Era.

In the First Universe Era, remnants of Chaos Energy still existed, nurturing many more Ancient Divine Soldiers besides the Pangu Axe.

After the Ancient Divine Soldiers were born, they suppressed chaos, allowing life to continue to proliferate.

It was an era of incomparable splendor and brilliance.

Because the Chaos Energy turned into abundant Spiritual Energy, filling the heavens and earth, many Supreme Treasures of Heaven and Earth, Spiritual Treasures, were born.

In such an environment, cultivation became as simple as eating and drinking.

“What a breathtaking era.”

Gazing at the words recorded in the Cosmic Stone Tablet, Han Zhan praises sincerely.

It’s hard to imagine how many people reached Ascension to Saint in such a universe era, and how powerful they must have been.

Han Zhan continues to look down:

The peak of the First Universe Era quickly passed.

Just like the tide rises and falls, so too does a universe era.

Its decline began with the appearance of the River of Eternal Darkness.

The River of Eternal Darkness was born from chaos, flowing from it when Pangu cleaved and hewed it open.

If Pangu’s existence was to open the heavens and earth, allowing infinite possibilities for the universe’s birth, then the River of Eternal Darkness’s existence was to return those infinite possibilities to zero, bringing the universe back to chaos.

For the First Universe Era, the appearance of the River of Eternal Darkness was a calamity.

Even in an ancient time full of powerful beings, it was a World Destruction Disaster Shadow Level existence.

The First Universe Era inexorably headed toward decline.

Due to the River of Eternal Darkness’s appearance, chaos was disturbed, prompting the emergence of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Soldiers, which became the last hope in resisting the River of Eternal Darkness.

For self-rescue and salvation, powerful beings of that time attempted to comprehend the Ten Great Ancient Divine Soldiers in hopes of attaining the Salvation Dao.

But at that time, only one person excelled worldwide, with exceptional insight far beyond ordinary, successfully aligning with the Ancient Divine Soldiers.

Others, despite being exceptionally gifted and outstanding, were still a distance away from truly aligning with the Ancient Divine Soldiers.

And that sole individual who aligned with the Ancient Divine Soldiers was Donghuang Taiyi.

He aligned with the Ancient Divine Soldier, the Donghuang Bell!

Donghuang Taiyi deserved to be the first to align with the Ancient Divine Soldiers.

He not only successfully fused with the Ancient Divine Soldier Donghuang Bell, but also successfully comprehended the Creation Dao, Creation Boundary Life and Death.

The River of Eternal Darkness also stirred the final extinction tide, ready to engulf the entire universe era.

The final battle was imminent.

Upon seeing this, Han Zhan’s heart tightened with tension as well.

Even just looking at the words, the atmosphere that pours out between the lines makes the reader feel intensely oppressive, unable to catch their breath.

That was the final battle belonging to the First Universe Era.

If defeated, an entire era would be destroyed.

Entering the narrative, one can sense the immense pressure Donghuang Taiyi must bear.

Even knowing the outcome doesn’t hinder the waves of emotion rising in Han Zhan’s heart when seeing these words.

He thought to this extent, exhaled a breath of murky air.

The subsequent words are few, suggesting the conclusion is near:

The River of Eternal Darkness ravages the boundless cosmos, annihilating everything, devouring all, returning everything to darkness.

Donghuang Taiyi uses the Creation Boundary Life and Death Dao of the Donghuang Bell to expand the heavens and protect the last bastion of purity.

The Donghuang Bell enlarges indefinitely, attempting to encompass the entire universe and suppress the River of Eternal Darkness!

The river waters of the River of Eternal Darkness surge, surrounding it, striking the golden semi-transparent shadow of the Donghuang Bell, producing the sound of clanging bells.

With each hit, the golden light shadow of the Donghuang Bell dims a fraction.

More and more bell noises resound throughout the universe.

As if mourning for the First Universe Era.

Donghuang Taiyi has already exerted his utmost effort.

Yet, facing the River of Eternal Darkness, he still falls short.

On the bell’s body, cracks start to appear, spreading like spider webs.

Finally,

only the sound of a loud crash is heard.

The Donghuang Bell shatters into countless fragments, scattering across the heavens and earth.

The River of Eternal Darkness takes advantage of the moment to enter, thoroughly devouring the last bastion of purity.

The First Universe Era falls completely into extinction!

At this moment, a new segment of text appears on the stone tablet:

“In his final moments, Donghuang Taiyi exerts all his strength, using the Creation Boundary Life and Death Dao to create the Second Universe Era.”

“Compared to the First Universe Era, created by Pangu’s body, the Second Universe Era is fragile and lacks the splendor of the First Universe Era.”

“But it retains the last remnants of hope.”

“Before extinction descends once more.”

The pale golden text ends here.

Representing the past of the First Universe Era, these words, fewer than a thousand characters, weigh each more than a thousand pounds.

“I see.”

“It was Donghuang Taiyi using the universe-creating ability of the Donghuang Bell that created the Second Universe Era, extending hope for humanity.”

“But due to the gap with Pangu, the Second Universe Era created by Donghuang Taiyi is far less splendid and magnificent than the First Universe Era.”

“The River of Eternal Darkness did not completely extinguish the First Universe Era; instead, it was consumed and can only gather strength anew, preparing for the extinction of the Second Universe Era. This also delayed time for the growth and development of the Second Universe Era.”

When Han Zhan conveyed this to everyone, all fell into silence.

Faced with the life and death of a universe era, any description seemed somewhat redundant.

The tide of the era surges fiercely.

In this era, who can become a stunning savior like Donghuang Taiyi, emerging to bear the burden of saving the Second Universe Era?

“Everyone.” Han Zhan inhaled deeply, looking around, “This universe era, it’s our turn to step forward.”

Salvation Society—this name truly suits the occasion well.

“Since it’s about saving the world, isn’t our current name too ordinary? Why don’t each of us choose a resonant code name?”

Father Adam smiled gently.

His suggestion was met with approval from everyone at the bronze long table.

Adam then smiled again and nodded, saying, “Then I’ll start.”

“My code name is—Yahweh.”

“Omegadotto.”

“Just call me Gaia.”

“Brahma.”

“Chaos.”

“…”

Once everyone has chosen their code names, they all simultaneously turn their gaze to Han Zhan.

Only he has yet to choose a code name for himself.

Han Zhan looks down at his own hands, a faintly condensed axe-shaped light shadow emerging.

He lifts the corner of his mouth in a smile.

“Then call me.”

“Pangu.”
