Chapter 208 Innate Gods and Demons—Zi Chen Clan
Chaos: No flow of time and space, no past or future, only the present!
Therefore, in Chaos, once one has attained enlightenment, that is it—eternally unique.
Unlike the Primordial Era, there's no need to shrink one's own timeline and extend one's Great Dao into the past and future to achieve the state of eternal enlightenment.
"Thus, as long as Chaos exists, I will not die."
Seeing his Great Dao completely imprinted on the origin of Chaos, inseparable from it, Feng Zi Chen's heart was filled with excitement.
Like the Primordial Era, imprinting one's Great Dao on its origin allows one to coexist with it. Even if one perishes unexpectedly, one can continuously revive by relying on the Great Dao imprint left here.
The Primordial Era may one day be destroyed.
But after witnessing Chaos's greatness, Feng Zi Chen truly cannot imagine what kind of power could destroy it; even Pangu probably didn't have that ability.
This also means that even if the Primordial Era is destroyed, he, backed by Chaos, can still survive.
"However, the method of attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in this primordial world is somewhat similar to the characteristics of chaotic beings."
Converging the timeline, transforming the past and future into the present, is clearly an imitation; chaotic beings only possess the characteristic of the present.
Not only that, the general process of cultivation in the primordial world is a continuous process of approximating chaotic beings, gradually acquiring their characteristics.
"Indeed, the essence of cultivation is to explore the true meaning of the Great Dao."
"And chaos is the source of all things; the higher one's cultivation, the closer one's essence naturally becomes to chaos, allowing for better contact with the Great Dao."
"In this sense, I've ascended to heaven in one step. Directly attaining the Dao in chaos, receiving the baptism of the Great Dao, and acquiring some characteristics of chaotic demon gods."
"Compared to attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the primordial world, I have many more advantages."
Thinking of this, Feng Zichen felt a surge of excitement.
Other benefits were not yet clear to him.
But the most obvious benefit was something he could perceive.
At the very moment he attained the Dao in chaos, his future in the primordial world completely vanished.
In other words, when Feng Zichen returns to the Primordial World, only traces of his past and present will remain in the River of Time; the future will be completely empty, leaving no trace whatsoever.
It must be understood that in the Primordial World, the most crucial element for achieving the Primordial Dao Fruit, comparable to a Saint, is transcending the River of Time.
Only by severing one's past, present, and future, completely disappearing from the River of Time, can one achieve a state of unified primordial unity and attain the supreme Dao Fruit.
Of the three bodies, the past is constant, the present shifts with the times, and severing the two is not difficult. Only the future is unpredictable and unknowable, making it somewhat daunting.
However, Feng Zichen's future has already vanished from the River of Time.
Severing the future would be incredibly difficult for others, but for him, it was as simple as a thought.
Such an advantage, if it were to spread, would undoubtedly be the envy of countless people.
"However, for cultivators of the Primordial World, venturing into Chaos to attain Dao is still far too dangerous!"
Thinking of the perils of Chaos, Feng Zichen couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
Don't be fooled by the fact that He succeeded in His enlightenment effortlessly without encountering any danger. It's not that His enlightenment was simple; in reality, His success was entirely due to the power of Pangu.
Even though he disliked the aura of Pangu, Feng Zichen had to admit that without the Pangu aura within the Ruins of Return to enhance the power of his Pangu Dao Body, he would likely have been devoured by the violent chaotic energy as soon as he arrived in Chaos.
"Alas! This opportunity is truly heaven-defying, giving me an extremely unreal feeling, like a dream!"
Recalling recent events, Feng Zichen felt a faint sense of illusion.
These opportunities were interconnected, each step linked to the next, as if a hidden hand was silently pushing everything forward, propelling him ever onward.
"However, now that I've become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, regardless of whether the person behind the scenes is good or bad, it won't be so easy for them to scheme against me!"
Now, Feng Zichen was full of confidence, no longer as powerless against any schemes as before.
After all, he was now a Great Luo Golden Immortal, a master in any era, qualified to play his part.
After glancing once more at the origin of chaos, Feng Zichen turned and departed, riding the Ziwei Star back to his original form.
Instantly, within the chaos, the power of the Great Dao manifested, forming a colossal furnace that enveloped his physical body. Using chaotic energy as fire and the laws of the Great Dao as fuel, his body was refined.
This was the baptism of the Great Dao, a blessing bestowed upon those who had attained the Dao. Only after completing this step could Feng Zichen truly be considered a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Immersed in the furnace of the Great Dao, Feng Zichen felt everything about him growing stronger and sublimating, a flowing, immortal Dao nature emanating from him, radiating an aura of eternal uniqueness.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace, go!"
Seeing the runes on the furnace of the Great Dao, Feng Zichen's heart stirred. He activated the Heaven and Earth Furnace, comparing it to the furnace one by one, constantly altering its structure, transforming it into a chaotic divine power.
At the same time, he offered up all his spiritual treasures, allowing them to receive the baptism of the Great Dao together. Such an opportunity was rare and could not be missed.
Moreover, in the end, Feng Zichen unleashed his divine abilities one by one, aligning them with the surrounding Great Dao laws, gradually altering their essence and enhancing their power.
…
In the chaos, there was no concept of time and space; it seemed as if only a moment had passed, yet also as if countless ages had changed. Feng Zichen felt an unparalleled power erupt from his body, spreading outwards.
"Boom!"
A terrifying power suddenly erupted, first shattering the Great Dao furnace into fragments, then continuing to spread outwards, stirring up boundless waves and triggering a small chaotic tide.
"I am Pangu Zichen, now attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, may the Great Dao witness!"
As if struck by inspiration, Feng Zichen suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
As soon as his voice fell, the Great Dao responded immediately, the chaos trembled inexplicably, golden flowers fell, and laws manifested, stretching for billions of miles.
Immediately, two divine Dao runes appeared between Feng Zichen's brows, the two characters "Zichen," containing inexplicable power.
This was His identity certificate, bestowed upon Him by the Great Dao, acknowledging His status.
From this moment on, Feng Zichen was a primordial god-demon born from chaos, incomparably noble, second only to the Chaos Demon God in status.
Compared to all the primordial gods and demons of the prehistoric world, except for a few of the very top, he surpassed them all.
Moreover, this was an identity recognized by the Great Dao, which no one could deny.
Suddenly, the Dao of One Primordial Descended, evolving into 129,600 primordial runes, which merged with the chaotic energy to form a talisman seal.
