After a long while.
Bang!
The chaotic cocoon shattered, and Fang Xiu emerged from it, his body shrouded in chaotic energy. Myriad roars resounded, and a powerful phenomenon soared into the sky, shaking the entire land.
The heavens and earth trembled violently, and countless living beings felt it. They looked up in horror at the sky and saw a chaotic scene on the distant horizon, as if the heavens and earth were about to reunite and reenact the cycle of earth, water, fire, and wind.
In an instant, the world was in an uproar, and the whole world was shaken!
"This...this is the power of chaos!"
"Has this world reached its end, and all things are about to return to chaos?!"
"No, that's not right. It's not a return to chaos; it's that someone has entered the Dao through chaos!"
Countless powerful figures exclaimed in astonishment that, in the very beginning of creation, there were still people who could attain enlightenment through chaos.
In the Heavenly Court.
Yama noticed the strange phenomenon in the Nine Provinces. With his divine eyes open and closed, he saw through heaven and earth and immediately found the source of the phenomenon.
"That's... Yunzhou, the Moon God Temple! It's Fang Xiu! He actually forged a demigod from chaos!?" Yama exclaimed in horror.
The other gods were the same; an ancient proverb came to mind: "The sky is boundless, the heavens and earth are limitless, the sun rises without ceasing, the moon sets without end, life and death cycle endlessly, and chaos is invincible!"
The power of chaos has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, no wonder the gods are terrified.
"Legend has it that a demigod of chaos is comparable to a god. Is that true?" the Giant Spirit God asked in a deep voice.
"Does it really matter? This child could kill a god before he even became a demigod. Now he is a demigod, and a chaotic demigod at that. Do you think he can't defeat a god?" the Star Lord analyzed.
Upon hearing this, the gods' faces darkened. The thing they feared most had finally happened. From now on, would the high and mighty gods of the Nine Provinces have an additional emperor above them?
"No, we can't delay any longer. We must trick him into leaving as soon as possible." Yama made a decisive decision: "It's a good thing that he has become a Chaos Demigod. It's very difficult for Chaos to become a god. He must rely on the Chaos Land, and the Chaos Land exists there. This gives us an even better reason to send him there."
All the gods nodded, completely agreeing with what Yama had said.
........
........
Inside the Moon Goddess Temple, Fang Xiu was sensing the power of the Chaos Demigod, and the most direct feeling was that it was incredibly powerful! Incomparably powerful!
It gives people the feeling that one punch could shatter this world, of course, this is an illusion caused by having just gained great power.
However, the Chaos Demigod was indeed powerful. He even felt that he could fight against the gods even without relying on the power of Yang Ming and the others.
But he was not satisfied, because he found that Kunlun Maggot was right. It was really difficult for a Chaos Demigod to become a god. If he wanted to become a god, he would need to use a Chaos Land. But where in this world could there be a Chaos Land?
If there were some separate worlds at the beginning of time, this world has evolved to its extreme, and chaos is nowhere to be found.
Moreover, he discovered something even more unsatisfactory: many of his abilities had disappeared.
Time, pain, fate, heavenly tribulations, and all the powers of gods and demons vanished.
To be precise, they didn't disappear, but rather they all merged into chaos, becoming indistinguishable from one another.
The original 108 laws were like 108 colors, mixed together, eventually turning into a multicolored black that was difficult to separate.
The power of chaos is very strong, surpassing all paths and impervious to all laws, but Fang Xiu does not want to lose his former abilities, especially the power of pain.
"Let's restart." He muttered to himself, intending to commit suicide and revert to three days ago, when he was preparing to merge with the Chaos Laws.
Just as he was about to make a move, he stopped and turned to look at the distant sky, where several divine lights flashed and one could vaguely see a majestic figure comparable to the sun and moon.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly: "The gods of the Nine Provinces? What are they doing here?"
The next moment, Yagami, led by Yama, crossed space and appeared before them.
Yama smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, you are indeed a genius, to have achieved the status of a Chaos Demigod. Legend has it that a Chaos Demigod is comparable to a god. Now, the Nine Provinces are truly blessed with even greater power, hahaha..."
"Fellow Daoist Fang previously caused an astonishing phenomenon. We have come uninvited, please do not take offense."
"Fellow Daoist Fang, we have come here today to offer our congratulations. Although we have had some disagreements in the past, we are all of one mind for the sake of the Nine Provinces, and in the end, we are still on the same side."
The gods chatted amongst themselves, and then each of them took out a treasure and presented it to Fang Xiu as a congratulatory gift.
There are eight treasures in total, including swords, pagoda seals, and so on. Each one is extraordinary, surpassing all immortal artifacts in quality, and each contains a portion of the power of the gods. It would not be an exaggeration to call them sub-divine artifacts.
"Are you finished?" Fang Xiu calmly surveyed the gods.
This wasn't the first time Yama had dealt with Fang Xiu. Upon seeing Fang Xiu's attitude, he immediately knew what kind of nonsense Fang Xiu was about to spout, so he quickly replied.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, in fact, we have come here not only to congratulate you, but also to discuss another matter. This matter concerns an ancient secret. Now that you have become a Chaos Demigod, it is time for you to know these secrets."
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered the purpose of Yan Luo and the others. They were giving gifts and revealing ancient secrets. Could it be that these gods wanted to ease tensions because they saw that his strength had greatly increased after his breakthrough?
Or... is there another motive?
"explain."
Seeing Fang Xiu's impolite words, a barely perceptible glint of anger flashed in Yan Luo's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, do you know what this world was originally like?"
"I don't like keeping things a secret."
Fang Xiu's blunt words made Yan Luo's smile freeze, but he quickly recovered and took the initiative to say, "Since Fellow Daoist Fang is so straightforward, then I will also speak frankly. Before the Heavenly Dao was corrupted, the world was divided into three realms: Heaven, Earth, and Man."
The human realm has long since vanished into the other shore, leaving only the celestial realm and the earthly realm. And the Nine Provinces... are the realms formed after the shattering of the former celestial realm.
Is Kyushu a shattered celestial realm?
Fang Xiu seemed to be deep in thought. The Nine Provinces were a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, with a far greater number of powerful individuals than the present world. Both sides were like isolated islands adrift on the other shore. Why was the Nine Provinces so much stronger than the present world? It turned out this was once the Celestial Realm. That explained it.
Yama continued, "In ancient times, the Heavenly Dao was corrupted, and a great war between gods and demons caused the Three Realms to collapse and split into countless fragments. Later, the immortals and gods were defeated, and those fragments were gradually devoured by the other side. The surviving immortals and gods gathered living beings and occupied the largest fragment of the Heavenly Realm, establishing the Nine Provinces. This is the origin of the Nine Provinces."
"What happened to the gods and immortals?" Fang Xiu asked.
Yama sighed slightly: "That's a long story."
