Chapter 1010 370: Genesis (Grand Finale)

Pangu!

When he saw the figure appear, Han Zhan's spirits lifted once more.

But as he got closer, the excitement in his eyes was shattered again.

That wasn't the real Pangu.

On him, there was no sense of life at all.

It was just a remnant soul.

"Sit."

Pangu seemed indifferent to Han Zhan's reaction, he raised his hand, motioning Han Zhan to sit opposite him.

Once Han Zhan sat cross-legged like him, he continued to speak:

"You must have many things you want to know, feel free to ask."

Without hesitation, Han Zhan asked:

"Is your true self still alive?"

"As you see, I am merely a remnant soul. My true body died after splitting open the chaos, even the karma was stripped away by the Chaos Spirit."

The middle-aged man opposite spoke indifferently.

His tone conveyed no emotion, as if he was merely stating a common matter.

"Since you're a remnant soul, how did you awaken?"

"Because of you."

"Me?"

Hearing this answer, Han Zhan was momentarily stunned.

Soon, he heard Pangu's remnant soul continue to fill in the answer: "Divine Origin."

"I transformed the remnant soul into Divine Origin, leaving it within the ten Ancient Divine Soldiers."

"Once someone gathers the ten Divine Soldiers, my remnant soul can awaken from it."

That's why Han Zhan could awaken the SSS Level Talent Divine Awakening.

It wasn't just because he traveled from the Second Cosmic Era, but also because within him, the Pangu Axe had long fused with a part of the Divine Origin!

And due to this, he could be mutually attracted to other Ancient Divine Soldiers and bond with them.

Everything seemed to have been arranged in the unseen.

The last piece of Divine Origin belonging to the Pangu Axe, after absorbing enough Chaos Energy, was thoroughly activated, and the ten Divine Origins merged, allowing Pangu's remnant soul to revive.

"The third question, can you change this outcome?"

Han Zhan took a deep breath and asked the question he most yearned to know the answer to.

The cosmos falls silent, returning to chaos.

Everything turns into nothingness, except for oneself.

Such an ending, if it was the great god Pangu, could he change it?

When Pangu's remnant soul heard this question, he looked up at Han Zhan.

"Before answering that question, I want to talk to you about something else."

Pangu's remnant soul didn't give Han Zhan a chance to refuse, he continued on his own:

"Do you know why I had to create the heavens and earth?"

"I was born in chaos, where the Chaos Dao was at my fingertips."

"My body was forged by chaos, my breath inhaled and exhaled Chaos Energy."

"Chaos eternal, I am immortal."

"Why would I personally split open the heavens and earth, shattering the foundation upon which I attained the Dao?"

Pangu was born in chaos, he could be called the child of chaos.

Splitting chaos was akin to self-destruction, only leading to the death of one's path.

Thus, Pangu not only exhausted himself opening the skies and earth to death; it was because the Chaos Dao was destroyed, leading to self-inflicted annihilation of the world!

Then, why did he do it?

Han Zhan's lips twitched, and as he gazed into the chaotic expanse of heaven and earth, he seemed to have the answer.

"This chaos, devoid of vitality, had no other life besides me."

"And so I understood: Undivided chaos, nothing is born, as the sky clears and the earth settles, creation begins."

"It could have been more vibrant and colorful, teeming with life, instead of just a silent, ancient chaos."

"So, I split it open."

Saying this, Pangu's remnant soul gestured towards the sky, without any regret.

Then he lowered his gaze again to Han Zhan.

"So, what is your answer?"

Whether the ending could be changed.

If this question was answered by Pangu's remnant soul, the answer would undoubtedly be negative.

He was just a wisp of a remnant soul, with no chance to alter the ending.

But if the question was answered by Han Zhan, the answer would be different.

Han Zhan fully understood Pangu's intent.

"To change the ending, I must break the chaos. And in breaking the chaos, I who achieved the Dao through chaos, must die, right?"

Han Zhan met Pangu's gaze.

The latter nodded slightly.

"The ten great Ancient Divine Soldiers were birthed by chaos. I can teach you the Taishi Array, using the ten Divine Soldiers as the array eyes to condense the Chaos Energy, and then split the chaos anew, starting a new cosmic era."

"You already know the cost of doing so."

"So, what is your answer?"

Pangu's remnant soul repeated the question again.

This time, Han Zhan no longer remained silent.

He grinned, showing a silent smile.

"This cosmos is too quiet now, it's not good."

"Plus, I'd like to experience what it's like to create the heavens and earth, it should be pretty cool."

Pangu's remnant soul, hearing Han Zhan's answer, already knew the verdict.

Thus, he nodded, saying no more.

Pangu's remnant soul raised his hand once more, this time channeling a point of light from his fingertips, directing it to Han Zhan's brow.

The next second, all the information about the Taishi Array surged into Han Zhan's mind.

"This was the true purpose for leaving behind this remnant soul, wasn't it?"

Han Zhan closed his eyes for a long while, and upon reopening them, he gazed at the Pangu's remnant soul opposite and asked.

Pangu's remnant soul smiled without answering.

Does this answer matter?

Perhaps, the moment Han Zhan made up his mind and decided, it was no longer important.

He spread out his hands.

Ten dazzling radiant lights illuminated the heavens and earth, as the ten Ancient Divine Soldiers stood in different positions.

They transformed into the eyes of the array, each releasing a peak aura, stirring the chaos.

As Han Zhan's spell continued to change, an array centered around the ten Ancient Divine Soldiers, the Taishi Array, had already formed!

At the moment the Taishi Array formed, the chaos suddenly surged, as if it found an outlet, rushing wildly within the array, seemingly forming a chaotic storm.

At the center of the storm, Han Zhan could only feel his Chaos Dao collapsing and self-destructing at a visible speed, returning to the primal Chaos Energy, swept into the surrounding storm.

The Taishi Array gathered all the Chaos Energy, transforming into the shape of a gray egg.

Han Zhan raised his right hand without changing his expression, reaching into the void.

"Come!"

The ten Ancient Divine Soldiers transformed into specks of light, ultimately coalescing into the shape of a simple and unadorned giant axe in his hands.

He gripped the giant axe tightly, using his last strength to chop forward.

With one axe, the heavens were split!

...

The chaos was split, the heavens and earth differentiated.

A brand new cosmic era was thus born.

This cosmic era no longer has the Chaos Spirit, nor the River of Eternal Darkness, only the vast cosmos with billions of shining stars.

Among these billions of stars, there are deep blue planets.

Lost in chaos, a speck of dust accidentally fell into this blue planet, disappearing unseen.

(The End)

...

Postscript:

Endless Star Sea, Blue Planet.

The weather was clear, with a refreshing autumn sky.

A young man angrily threw his phone onto the bed, speaking in a voice almost on the verge of breaking: "Stupid game, getting rubbish five-star every pull, I'm done playing!"

Just as he finished speaking, the study door was pushed open, and a pleasant female voice rang out from outside the door:

"Han Zhan, hurry up and come over, your son's diaper needs changing."

"Coming!"
