Once this Ancient Chaos Universe appeared, it began to frantically devour the boundless chaos power, rapidly taking shape and occupying the central region of the Chaos Sea.
At the same time, the very moment this first Ancient Chaos Universe took form, a surge of essence, energy, and spirit erupted from Pangu's body and plunged into this Ancient Chaos Universe, making it exceptionally powerful!
That's right—it was the Primordial Immortal Realm!
Legend has it that the Primordial Immortal Realm is the first Ancient Chaos Universe in the Chaos Sea. Now it seems that is indeed true, and it once received a surge of Pangu's essence, energy, and spirit.
Immediately after, Pangu began to open up one Ancient Chaos Universe after another.
Ye Chen saw them: the Alien Ancient Universe, the Eight Desolations Ancient Universe, the Chaos Burial Ground Ancient Universe... One powerful Ancient Chaos Universe after another was opened up, and over time, each gradually gave birth to its own living beings.
Among them, when opening the tenth Ancient Chaos Universe—the Alien Ancient Universe—another surge of essence, energy, and spirit erupted from Pangu's body. This was the second surge he released after opening the Primordial Immortal Realm and the other nine Ancient Chaos Universes.
Boom—
At this point, Pangu had opened up forty-eight Ancient Chaos Universes. He seemed exhausted, having been continuously creating since the Chaos Sea's beginning.
But he did not stop. Now, he looked towards a certain location and began opening the forty-ninth Ancient Chaos Universe.
Rumble—
After finishing the final Ancient Chaos Universe, Pangu finally exhausted his strength and died, collapsing completely.
Moreover, a third surge of essence, energy, and spirit—the final surge—erupted from his body and plunged into these forty-nine Ancient Chaos Universes.
And Pangu ultimately merged completely with the forty-ninth Ancient Chaos Universe, which became the universally known Pangu Universe.
All of this was the entirety of Pangu's creation of heaven and earth.
However, Ye Chen saw that as Pangu fell, his chest tore open, and a crimson heart soared into the sky, still beating powerfully and vigorously. Each beat could shake the entire great universe. With a *whoosh*, it tore through the Pangu Universe and departed, disappearing into the boundless Chaos Sea.
Even with Ye Chen's eyesight, he couldn't see where Pangu's Heart ultimately went.
On the other hand, Pangu's axe was also left behind in the Chaos Sea, vanishing without a trace.
"The legends are true. Pangu truly existed and merged with the Pangu Universe. And Pangu... is Eternity."
"Nothing in this world is truly immortal. Even someone as powerful as Pangu, as invincible as Eternity, will ultimately fall."
Ye Chen's expression was complex. He never expected to witness all of this.
Eternity was not truly eternal.
But why did Pangu do this, sacrificing himself to once again cleave the Chaos Sea and open up forty-nine Ancient Chaos Universes?
He always felt that Pangu had a purpose, that it wasn't simply about creation.
Suddenly, Ye Chen's expression sharpened. He looked towards the Primordial Immortal Realm, the Alien Ancient Universe, and the Pangu Universe. He saw that within these three Ancient Chaos Universes, there was an unignorable glimmer of dawn light. Those were all parts of Pangu's essence, energy, and spirit, or more accurately, his divine soul divided into three parts.
The first, the tenth, and the forty-ninth—these three numbers represented the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and Pangu had left a portion of his divine soul in each.
Pangu's single breath transformed into the Three Pure Ones!
Those were Pangu's Eternal Souls!
What was Pangu's purpose in leaving behind these three parts of his soul?
And where did his Pangu's Heart ultimately go?
Time within the Eternal Ancient Stele continued to flow, accelerating at a rate billions of times faster than the outside world, but it couldn't affect Ye Chen. He remained merely an observer.
Thus, after countless eons passed, on this day, Ye Chen suddenly saw that at the location of the original singularity, a passageway opened.
From it, streams of light rushed out, accompanied by several mysterious, ancient, and massive World-Lands.
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, recognizing two of those World-Lands: one was the present Eternal Heaven Realm, and the other was the Forty-Nine Immortal Pass Secret Realm located in the Primordial Immortal Realm.
He also saw those streams of light—some were people, others were artifacts.
Three mysterious figures, moving at extreme speeds, rushed towards the three Ancient Chaos Universes that each possessed one-third of Pangu's divine soul. Others landed within the Chaos Sea, catching up to the World-Lands.
The appearance of the artifacts was even faster, like lightning, but Ye Chen was a Half-Step Overlord and could see clearly. Among them were an ancient bridge, a giant gate, a source pearl, and so on—they were unmistakably Origin Sacred Artifacts.
Could that be a passageway to the Origin Land?
Ye Chen was shocked, staring intently at that starting point, at the opened passageway.
Unfortunately, nothing else could be seen. Only the appearance of those Origin Sacred Artifacts in various parts of the Chaos Sea was visible.
Ye Chen saw that the divided parts of Pangu's soul were obtained by people.
But they were only soul lights. Three soul lights, each seizing a portion of Pangu's soul, then erupted with boundless radiance and abruptly vanished.
In the Primordial Immortal Realm, after an unknowable number of years, the first living being in heaven and earth was born. From birth, it inherited the great fortune of the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, and upon its birth, it immediately became an immortal, creating the Immortal Dao system and teaching the world!
In the Alien Ancient Universe, the first person born there also directly attained the Dao, even stronger than the Primordial Chaos Fiends, mastering infinite ultimate principles of the myriad heavens, guiding the beings of the universe, becoming the most ancient person in the world, lofty and aloof, overlooking countless eons, sitting behind the scenes, manipulating the Chaos Sea.
After the Pangu Universe, the first person in heaven and earth also attained the Dao, teaching all living beings, leading the growth, reproduction, and development of all beings within the entire Pangu Universe...
Immortal Ancestor, Primordial Generation, Heavenly Emperor!
Ye Chen was astounded. The three who obtained Pangu's soul were actually them.
And their origins were far from simple; they were very likely mysterious powerhouses from the Origin Land.
It must be said, everything before his eyes completely overturned his understanding!
Others were one thing, but he never expected that even the Heavenly Emperor was related to the Origin Land!
However, it wasn't hard to understand now. Why were the Heavenly Emperor, the Primordial Generation, and the Immortal Ancestor all true, peerless overlords of the Chaos Sea, invincible in their era, Half-Step Eternity existences? Precisely because they had each obtained one-third of Pangu's soul.
From one of the World-Lands that rushed out of the Origin Land, there was also an ultimate powerhouse figure, not the slightest bit weaker than the Heavenly Emperor, Primordial Generation, or Immortal Ancestor. He led a group of ultimate powerhouses who emerged from the Origin Land and, in the early days, once dominated the Chaos Sea, shaking all ages.
Although Ye Chen had never seen this person, he learned through various ancient texts and records that this was the Origin Sacred Clan, and its leader was precisely the Ancestor of the Origin Sacred Clan.
However, what shocked Ye Chen was that although this Ancestor of the Origin Sacred Clan did not obtain Pangu's soul, he was also far from ordinary—he obtained Pangu's Heart!
That's right, Pangu's Heart!
