Chapter 2: The Pig's Feet Suppressed by Pangu Himself

  How high is the sky? There's no fixed number, ancient or modern. Since Pangu held up the sky, his height must be roughly the same as the sky's. The demon corpse and spiritual treasure fragments piled up to his waist would be tens of millions of zhang high. An ant buried tens of millions of zhang deep, even if it shouted its throat hoarse, could an elephant hear it? Pangu being able to feel anything at all is already a rare gift.

  Pangu didn't discover it, but he faintly felt that thread of resentment. At first, he didn't think much of it; after all, having killed 3,000 gods and demons, some resentment was normal. However, not knowing was better; once he knew about the existence of that thread of resentment, he couldn't shake off this feeling, like mud stuck to his body, like an octopus clinging to him, refusing to let go. The feeling of being entwined in his heart made him extremely uncomfortable.

  Who is Pangu? The person who wants to open the sky when living in a bad environment, it's more uncomfortable to have an unbalanced mind than to live uncomfortably. Pangu thought for a moment, this resentment is not great, nor thick, just because it's the first resentment of opening the sky, so it won't disperse for a long time. It seems that no compensation is not possible, but now Pangu only has a Hun Dun bell, how can he give it to others?

  Pangu thought for a moment, then let out a sigh and decided to open an empty check: "No matter who you are, whether you're trying to stop me from opening the sky or coming to persuade me, or even if you're just an innocent bystander, after I've opened the sky, I'll have great merit. With the two successes of opening the sky as my guarantee, I'll settle accounts with you according to cause and effect, and heaven's way will be the proof. For now, disperse and wait until the world is stable before we make further calculations."

  As soon as the words fell, the newly born Heavenly Dao established its rules. The sky showed strange signs, and Pangu and the Earth Spirit both felt that something had been added to their hearts. The agreement was formed, and that resentment slowly sank into the pile of corpses.

  The Earth Spirit was also busy shutting his mouth tightly, and I thought to myself, "This is a two percent opening of the Heavenly Merit!" The Heavenly Merit! Two percent! Thinking that each of the Three Pure Ones' disciples only had one percent, the Earth Spirit couldn't help but feel delighted in his heart. It seemed that those oppressive fragments of magical artifacts and divine corpses weren't so detestable after all.

  The earth spirit who was favored by the small people on his face did not think that after Pangu opened up the sky, he would be transformed into Mount Buzhou and suppressed under Mount Buzhou. Even if he had gained two successes and virtues, what could he do?

  Now that I've said this, I'm sure everyone has already guessed it. The poor kid's soul is our protagonist, a 21st-century otaku named Zhuang Xiong, male, with the usual attributes of an otaku, so there's no need to introduce him further. As for how he crossed over, it was because of that spherical object that brought him here. Where did it come from? I've forgotten, and as for what exactly that sphere is, it's still unknown for now.

  On this day, our otaku was intently watching when he accidentally touched the sphere and was inexplicably brought back to the time of Pangu's creation of heaven. As soon as he emerged, the poor little otaku was frightened stiff, with axe lights flying everywhere, white light flashing, yin and yang energies entwined, like a mountain collapsing and the sea splitting apart, earth fire water wind surging, covering the sky and earth.

  Zhuang Xiong had never seen such a formation before. He was suddenly stunned, only knowing to stare blankly at Pangu's figure as he opened the sky, becoming deeply immersed and unable to extricate himself. Even when the sphere disintegrated and took him along with it, merging into the earth spirit, he didn't notice. It wasn't until Pangu finished opening the sky that he came back to his senses. For a moment, he didn't have time to pay attention to his own situation, and hastily hid under Pangu's feet.

  It's said that anyone who was at the starting point knows that if they can't get along with Pangu in the chaos, it's better to hide in a corner for safety. Pangu's opening of the sky was quite clean, and basically all living things were killed. Zhuang Xiong didn't think he could withstand Pangu, and as for getting along, at this time, Zhuang Xiong was so weak that he might not even be considered an ant in Pangu's eyes.

  The earth spirit belongs to the earth, and it was originally safe for Zhuang Xiong to hide underground. However, man's plan is not as good as heaven's plan, and unexpectedly, the wind spirit led Pangu's line of sight over, and Pangu's chaotic blows fell on Zhuang Xiong's body eight or nine out of ten times. This is indeed a case of "sitting at home and getting into trouble from the sky", even lying down can get hit. It was just that the earth spirit was mainly defensive, and it happened to be on the ground, barely leaving a small life behind.

  It's not Pangu's fault, after all. When everyone throws things around, they have a certain degree of accuracy in front, back, left, right, and even above. However, when it comes to the ground beneath their feet, it's like the saying "darkness under the lamp," and indeed, very few people can have any accuracy there. Pangu was born with great divine power, but he was also born not long ago and has experienced a great war and the creation of the sky. As he is still in the midst of creating the heavens, it's quite normal that he doesn't have much accuracy yet.

  Zhuang Xiong didn't know the reason, but he was very clear that he couldn't afford to provoke Pangu, so he could only hold his breath and swallow his anger. Who knew that Pangu would suddenly go on a rampage again? This time Zhuang Xiong couldn't bear it anymore. Originally, the earth spirits were manifesting in the world without physical bodies, but Pangu's sudden rampage caused those demonic corpses and piles of shattered spiritual treasures to be squeezed together to compress space, instantly squeezing Zhuang Xiong into a deformed state, with many even being squeezed inside his body, and some piercing through his skin.

  Zhuang Xiong was furious, how can he transform into this? Wouldn't the transformed creature be a freak? Or is it congenital? Are you trying to give me a congenitally handicapped child? How can I tolerate this? Even if Pangu is indeed the great god who created the heavens and earth, a powerful and idolized star, he still cannot bully people like this!

  At that moment, a gust of resentment floated out with Zhuang Xiong's loud scolding and wrapped around Pangu. Originally, the resentment of an ant would not have made Pangu feel uncomfortable in the slightest, but at this time, a hidden resentment deep within the earth also floated out with Zhuang Xiong's resentment, coincidentally being the first resentment since the creation of heaven. This finally allowed Pangu to sense a thread of resentment, so Pangu drew a huge pie in the sky for Zhu Bajie, and the trouble was finally resolved.

  Now that Pangu has the support of the mountain of corpses, all those who should be destroyed have been killed, and there is no more worry about the back. So he devoted himself to supporting the sky, and the chaos was not counted in years. Even if this vast expanse were temporarily counted in years, nobody would remember it. After an unknown period of time, the heaven and earth finally stabilized, and Pangu also found that his energy had been exhausted.

  That year, a war between gods and demons, Pangu was in high spirits, also afraid of long nights and many dreams, as a result, he didn't rest, directly opened the sky, already exhausted, however, Pangu still decided to hold up the sky, making his body infinitely large, the consumed spiritual power is unknown, the spiritual power in his body has been overdrawn, even if it can be replenished at any time, where can such a huge body be replenished?

  Moreover, after the opening of heaven, although there was still a chaotic spiritual energy, most of it had transformed into pre-heavenly spiritual energy. Pangu was a chaotic demon god, and the supplementary effect of this pre-heavenly spiritual energy was ultimately mediocre. If not for the support of the Corpse Mountain, Pangu would have been crushed to dust by the converging forces of heaven and earth long ago.

  Pangu sighed, and with a resolute determination to not hold back, decided to transform into all things. With a loud shout, Pangu's primordial spirit escaped, dividing into three parts - the Three Pure Ones of later times. He then forced out twelve drops of his essence, which became the Twelve Ancestral Shamans, the innate nature of humanity. Finally, Pangu released his true spirit, merging it with the heavens and earth, governing the laws of nature, which is the Way of Heaven.

  The true spirit controls the universe, Pangu's last thought is emitted, and his entire body suddenly shatters. The left eye wraps around the primordial bell to form the sun, and the essence of the fire spirit also transforms into the true fire of the sun. A small portion remains suppressed under the earth. The right eye transforms into the moon, the skull transforms into the heavenly court, flesh and blood transform into mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, grass, trees, spirits, and beasts, wind, clouds, rain, and lightning...

  The wind spirit, who had just narrowly escaped, ultimately could not evade Pangu's persecution. Just as the wind spirit was about to drift out of the vast wilderness and into the Eastern Sea, a fragment of Pangu's bones suddenly fell, instantly shattering the wind spirit's last wisp of consciousness, transforming it into a gentle breeze that circled around the mountain, lingering for a long time without dispersing.

  Pangu transformed all things, and the last spine was transformed into the towering Mount Buzhou, carrying Pangu's final thoughts. The bodies of the gods and demons were also taken by Pangu as part of himself, and with Pangu's evolution, various divine powers emerged, continuously perfecting the 3,000 great dao rules. Finally, the 7-8 used-up god-demon corpses remained piled up beside Pangu, until his waist, transformed into rocks, serving as the base of Mount Buzhou. Many spiritual treasure fragments were also gathered together by Pangu, merged into a giant pillar, passing through the center of the mountain body to the earth below, resembling Pangu's throne.

  Having done all this, Pangu finally felt satisfied, and the last thread of obsession dissipated. The true spirit was completely merged into the Heavenly Way, from then on there was only the impartial Heavenly Way, no longer the great god Pangu.

  The story goes that our hero Zhuang Xiong, after Pan Gu's dispersal of the demon corpse and its transformation into a mountain, gathered up the fragments of the Lingbao to support the heavenly pillar. He was finally able to gather his body together, but before he could even catch his breath, the pillar transformed from the Lingbao fragments pressed down on him, and Zhuang Xiong immediately fell over.

  Innumerable spiritual treasures that had transformed into fragments had not yet merged, but they were not something that Zhuang Xiong could withstand either. Moreover, on top of them was the Mount Buzhou formed from Pangu's spine, carrying Pangu's unyielding will to fight. Zhuang Xiong was suppressed so severely that he didn't have a single thread of strength left to resist. In this state, it wouldn't take long before Zhuang Xiong would be ground into dust and become part of the mountain pillars.

  Zhuang Xiong's heart was filled with grief and indignation, he wanted to cry but couldn't move. Indeed, good fortune never comes in pairs, while misfortune never travels alone. How many times have I been shot down while lying down? Is it written on my forehead that I am destined for a life of misery?

  Although it was a bit tragic, the protagonist is still the protagonist. The phrase "heaven has no way to cut off the path of man" is their synonym. At this time, heaven and earth have finally been perfected. Heavenly merit descends, and the boundless yellow energy falls, with 30% directly transforming into a treasure pagoda. It is precisely the famous Later Heaven Merit Treasure Pagoda, standing on top of the invincible Primordial Heaven and Earth Linglong Pagoda. The other merits are each taken away by the Three Purities, and the eldest also takes the Yellow Tower along with it.

  The twelfth ancestor's witch spirit blood body sank into the earth, and could only passively wait. In the end, one of the successes was divided among the heavens and the earth, and another success was scattered to the desolate wilderness, stabilizing the heavens and the earth. The last two successes were obtained by our protagonist Zhuang Xiong due to a contract.

  These two successful deities were truly timely rain, one part swept away the remaining 3,000 divine demon's yuan force, merged into Zhuang Xiong's earth spirit body, quickly created a physical form. One part drilled into Zhuang Xiong's body, fusing those compressed law fragments that Pangu didn't retrieve from Zhuang Xiong's body, catalyzing new spiritual treasures. Another part directly entered Zhuang Xiong's soul, catalyzing true spirit and continuously nourishing Zhuang Xiong's yuan god.

  There was still a portion of the merit that had slowly seeped into Zhuang Xiong's primordial spirit, true self, and even his soul, refusing to budge. The remaining few portions of merit circled around Zhuang Xiong several times before suddenly "whooshing" into the Spirit Treasure Fragment Pillar suppressing him. Zhuang Xiong instantly felt a bit lighter, but still couldn't escape.

  Watching all this happen, not giving Zhuang Xiong a chance to resist, and even now he doesn't understand what's going on. Especially in the last few moments, it suddenly made Zhuang Xiong speechless, is this the first time Hong Huang has bribed someone? It seems that Gong De also knows how to help me bribe Zhuang Xiong, making things easier for me? Or does my subconscious mind already have the idea of bribery? I've never actually done anything like bribery before, but I do have the thought, just not the face for it. For a moment, Zhuang Xiong was trapped in a dilemma.

  However, Zhuang Xiong was just entangled for a moment, and everything happened too quickly. Zhuang Xiong's fragile soul couldn't withstand such a huge change for the time being. Just thinking "I don't know what I've been turned into" he was stimulated and fainted.
