Chapter Eleven: Pangu's Reflections on Opening Up Heaven

  Looking at the warship in front of him, Zhang Xue's heart felt as if it had been smeared with honey. No need to mention how delighted he was.

  Although I almost lost my life in the refining process due to my own reckless attempts, fortunately, I was lucky and had a big destiny, unexpectedly cultivating the current pseudo-life battleship.

  As for why it's a pseudo-life battleship instead of a life battleship, it's because the lives on the battleship only have souls but no soul cores. For them, reincarnation is simply a joke - when they die, they're dead, and even if their souls remain, they can't be reborn, let alone possess someone else's body through demonic possession. This is because demonic possession requires one person's soul core to devour another person's soul core; without a soul core, how can you possibly possess someone? The lives within the battleship are only able to survive thanks to Zhang Xue's soul core. Therefore, it can be said that they're an incomplete life form, existing solely by relying on Zhang Xue. That's why it's called a pseudo-life existence.

  But in any case, it is a life that has its own will, love, affection, fear and other emotions. It can be said that they are no different from other living beings except for the lack of a soul core.

  So they can also cultivate, but because of the loss of the soul core, they cannot enlighten and can only constantly strengthen their physical body and soul intensity while continuously increasing the energy inside their body. It can be said that it is not much different from Zhang Xue.

  It can be said that Zhang Xue is very fond of this unexpected work, and the beauty of Jiangling's drifting snow is beyond words. The phrases "闭月羞花" (shutting out the moon with shame), "倾国倾城" (overturning cities and countries), "沉鱼落雁" (drowning fish and falling geese), and "国色天香" (heavenly fragrance of national beauty) are not enough to describe her stunning looks. She is one of the future wives. Such a great thing can't be found even with a lantern.

  As for those robots, now that they have come to life and their intelligence has greatly opened up, they can help with many things. They can also help Zhang Xue manage the world inside her body, and each one of them can cultivate themselves. Moreover, they are all loyal and devoted. From now on, these will all be Zhang Xue's subordinates.

  "But it can't be used yet, I myself can't transform, and can only use it after the sky opens." After thinking about it, he put the warship into his own small world inside his body, and instructed Xiaoxue to command those robots to beautify his small world.

  After having the Small World, I've just been planting Innate Spiritual Roots inside all along, and never had time to tidy up. Either busy refining equipment or busy refining elixirs. Now it's good, let Xiaoxue tidy up inside first, and I can also be lazy.

  Now everything is settled, it's also time to heal wounds, so I found a comfortable posture and started healing.

  The chaotic era is beyond count, time has passed like flowing water, and a hundred years have already gone by. Pangu has also returned from his travels.

  Zhang Xue felt the approach of Pangu and woke up from her sleep. As for her injuries, she recovered in no time. With nothing to do and not daring to practice, fearing it would increase the difficulty of transforming, she could only sleep.

  Feeling Pangu getting closer and closer, my mood also became inexplicably tense for some reason, after all, it's been many years since we last met.

  Not long after, Pangu's figure appeared in front of him, his body was even more enormous than before, about half the size of Zhang Xue's current body. It can be confirmed that Pangu is now infinitely stronger than before.

  In the past, Pangu couldn't even break through Zhang Xue's defense with his Heaven-Cleaving Axe, and Zhang Xue couldn't land a hit on Pangu either. But now, it seems that he has reached a level where he can even severely injure Zhang Xue. His entire being exudes an aura of majesty that is impossible to gaze upon directly.

  Only when Pangu passed by, the chaotic air all retreated due to Pangu's supreme momentum, just like mice seeing a cat. Then, in a not-too-distant place, the chaotic air collided with each other, forming various earth fires, winds, and waters. The entire scene was incredibly grand, as if it were doomsday, with rivers flowing backwards, mountains collapsing, and the sky falling into the ground.

  As Pangu approached, the unparalleled aura became more and more apparent, truly worthy of being called the Son of the Great Way and the Opener of Heaven. It was indeed a well-deserved reputation.

  That ancient, desolate and eternal atmosphere always brings people an unparalleled sense of shock, making people rise from the heart with a sense of awe, yet without feeling fear, but instead having a warm and peaceful feeling.

  This is not the aura brought by cultivation, but a state of mind that comes from understanding oneself and feeling the world, being full of love for all things in the world, and being willing to give everything for them. It can be said that Pangu's love is a love for all things in the world, without any private desires, only thinking of dedicating himself. It is a great love, a harmless love, a selfless love, a love that only thinks of all things, not seeking reward, it is the deepest manifestation of love, an existence that no other love can surpass.

  From the moment Pangu was seen and felt, his love for all things in the world, that selfless and unrequited love. Unconsciously, Zhang Xue took a deep breath, at that moment she had an extremely strong feeling. Pangu opened up the sky, no matter how he calculated or tried to stop it, in the end he would definitely turn into all things and perish.

  At the same time, Zhang Xue gradually came to understand that Pangu's opening of the sky was not a legendary heavenly plan, but rather his own voluntary sacrifice to create the world and become all things. This is Pangu's great love, using his own body to complete the heaven and earth, creating a beautiful living environment for future generations.

  Since feeling the great love of Pangu, thinking about the possible outcome after Pangu, Zhang Xue himself didn't know what to do. If it was the heavenly way's calculation, there might still be a possibility to use various methods to prevent Pangu from falling, and it would be very likely.

  But now it seems that Pangu itself wants to transform into all things. How can this be stopped? Should we take the place of Pangu and transform into all things ourselves?

  Although I was deeply moved by Pangu's love for all things and admired his selfless dedication, that was just my feeling towards Pangu. As for me to do the same, it is absolutely impossible.

  It's like running into a strong wallet on the street in a past life, most of it is irrelevant and hung high, encountering someone else helping to catch a thief, will only look up at his character with admiration in their heart. Wanting to be like him doesn't even need to be thought about.

  This is now a widespread phenomenon in society. It can be said that it has almost become a rule, where people don't care about things and just watch from the sidelines, and the indifference and selfishness between people have become commonplace. This can be described as a silent sorrow.

  Zhang Xue is just an ordinary person who is a bit kind and a bit selfish, he won't do anything extremely evil, nor will he sacrifice himself for the sake of the world like Pangu did. When he came to Chaos, all he wanted was to find a few beautiful wives, find a good place to live a carefree life, and had no intention of competing for dominance over the world, it's just an ordinary person's wish for life.

  "Sigh! Forget it, let things take their natural course. Let heaven decide everything."

  Suppressing his concerns, he came before Pangu and said: "Brother Dao, this time you've made great progress in your cultivation. What interesting things have you encountered? Tell me about it, let me experience it too."

  "Haha, it's great to see you again, my friend. As for traveling through the chaos, there's not much to say, except that I met a few chaotic demons and everything is just a mess, so boring! I really want to split this chaos apart, haha, but never mind. However, thanks to your guidance, I found many of the pre-heavenly spiritual roots and treasures that you asked me to look for. Let me take them out and give them to you."

  After hearing Pangu's words, Zhang Xue was shocked and thought "Does Pangu already have the idea of opening up the sky now? I don't know what to do, anyway, let's just go with the flow and not worry about it."

  "That's really thanks to you, Brother Dao. Please take it out and let me see it."

  "Go! Watch closely." Pangu finished speaking and then took out the Chaotic Green Lotus. The lotus platform faced downwards.

  Only saw a piece of innate spiritual treasure, a few innate spiritual roots flew out from inside without stopping. It seemed that there was no intention to stop at all, Zhang Xue's mouth watered instantly. He hated not being able to fly up and grab them immediately.

  It's been a long time, and Zhang Xue has already been beaten by Pangu. Looking at the small mountain-like spiritual roots and treasures, he was speechless. He thought to himself, "I've also traveled for so long to have this little wealth, I originally thought my character was pretty good, finding so many spiritual roots and treasures, but now compared to Pangu's, it's really nothing to say. Is Pangu really the illegitimate child of the Great Dao? The difference in character is too big."

  Looking at the small hill in front of her that kept growing, Zhang Xue was speechless. Now it's even bigger than all the years I've collected. Slowly, in Zhang Xue's thrilling and terrifying heart, the small hill finally stopped growing. Oh no. It shouldn't be called a small hill anymore, calling it a big mountain wouldn't be an exaggeration either.

  Looking at the spiritual treasure and spiritual root in front of him, Zhang Xue asked: "Are all these for me?"

  "Yes, I've given you everything."

  "Really, are you sure?"

  "Of course these are all useless to me, I'll give them all to you."

  "Really?"

  "Yes."

  "This is what you said, I've accepted it, and there's no going back later." Zhang Xue excitedly said while putting them away.

  "Alright, just keep it then, I won't be back." Pangu responded impatiently.

  Before long, the massive congenital spiritual roots and congenital spiritual treasures were all stored within his own small world. Letting Snow drift arrange them herself.

  While Zhang Xue was still in excitement, Pangu said a shocking sentence to him. "Fellow Taoist, I traveled through the chaos and saw that all around were chaotic and dark, so I thought of splitting this chaos open and creating a beautiful heaven and earth, not like the chaos which is quiet and lifeless all around. What do you think?"

  Pangu's words were like a thunderclap on a clear day, stunning Zhang Xue. "It turns out that Pangu is not just thinking about it, judging from his appearance, if I weren't such a friend, he might have already split the sky open by now."

  Pangu looked at me with a silly expression and asked: "How does it feel, fellow Taoist?"

  "Oh, what's going on?" Dumbly replied a sentence.

  "Oh, heaven!"

  "Oh, what a wonderful day! What a great day!" Zhang Xue finally came back to her senses. She said to Pangu: "Brother Dao, let's wait a bit and cultivate some more first. Later on, we'll have the confidence to open up the sky, won't we?"

  Pangu fell silent for a moment before saying, "As you said, Fellow Daoist. Let's cultivate first and prepare for the future of opening up the sky."

  Looking at Pangu's determined expression, he thought "It seems that I can only drag it to this point, next time is the beginning of heaven!" Ah!

  Pangu and Zhang Xue both started preparing for the opening of the sky.
