(Next up is the author's own prehistoric world, where, aside from the same character names, the plot will be significantly different. The characters in the prehistoric world will also be greatly changed.)

"I thought I was going to die this time," Zhunti said with lingering fear from the undamaged chaos.
"So close!" Jieyin said, still shaken.
"We were so close! If we had gotten even a mile closer, we wouldn't have escaped," Tongtian said, still shaken. A mile was but a fleeting moment for them. If they had been even a fraction of a second slower, they probably wouldn't have made it.
In the chaos, the seven sages, including Hongjun, who had just witnessed a chaotic version of Fast and Furious, calmed their pounding hearts with lingering fear.
Using the power of the Great Dao to seal off space, they unexpectedly nearly got themselves killed in the end. Unable to use spatial abilities to escape, they could only flee by air. Watching the approaching explosion wave, practically chasing after them, and sensing the various fragments of laws within it, their hearts were in their throats the entire time. Fortunately, at the last moment, they flew through the Great Dao's seal and escaped, the explosion also being stopped by the Great Dao's seal. (The Great Dao's seal was opened by Hongjun, and it was not lifted.)
"The formation left by the Great God Pangu is ruined. Fortunately, Wang Han is also dead. The greatest crisis in the prehistoric world has been resolved. You may all return!" Hongjun said sadly, looking at the six sages who were still shaken. He then told the Three Pure Ones, the two Western Sages, and Nuwa to return.
"Master, we shall take our leave now." Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones and the other six sages bid farewell to Hongjun. After their farewell, the six sages flew together towards the prehistoric world.
"Alas!" After the Six Sages left, Hongjun looked at the still intense explosion within the sealed area of the Great Dao and sighed. Wang Han was dead, but his true self, Pangu, was also dead, which also meant that the Heavenly Dao that controlled the prehistoric world was dead. What should he, as an incarnation of part of Pangu's primordial spirit, do? How should the prehistoric world develop in the future?

"This whole drama was quite a chore! It seems like this isn't the first time I've faked my death, though it's been a while since I've actually died." In the shattered chaotic space, Wang Han, in his soul form, drifted around in the storm of his self-destruction, muttering to himself. Wang Han wasn't in a hurry to revive. The aftermath of his self-destruction hadn't subsided yet, and reviving now would immediately subject him to the damage from his own explosion, only causing him to consume more of his soul power.
Of course, Wang Han could choose to leave and be resurrected. His ability to pass through walls allows him to traverse worlds directly. The blockade of the Great Dao, preventing the use of spatial abilities, is essentially meaningless to him. If he wanted to teleport or leave, it would simply require more physical exertion. However, this place holds immense benefits for Wang Han, and he doesn't want to leave now. Instead, he wanders within it in his soul form.
He was moved from Zixiao Palace to the depths of chaos to fight Pangu and die. In fact, Wang Han had already planned this when he discovered Hongjun's purpose. He had also foreseen Nuwa's arrival. Even the discovery of his invisibility cheat was a deliberate act by Wang Han. The only unexpected thing was the premature ascension of the other five saints.
(Hongjun was stalling for time so that Nuwa and the others could become saints.)
Wang Han's purpose in performing this play was to shift from the light to the dark.

In the vast wilderness, time is immeasurable; in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed in a flash.
As far as the Primordial World is concerned, the world continues to function even without Wang Han, and it will not have any impact on the world. Apart from the seven sages, no one knows that Wang Han has self-destructed and died, and no one knows who Wang Han perished with.
However, the absence of Pangu and the Heavenly Dao makes a difference. Hongjun cannot replace the Heavenly Dao, nor can he fully control everything in the prehistoric world. Even after merging with the Dao, it would still be the same. Although the prehistoric world would not be completely out of control, and Hongjun could still barely maintain control over its general direction, the normal order of the prehistoric world had begun to gradually slip out of his grasp.
(Hongjun's strength was insufficient; he was merely an incarnation of a portion of Pangu's primordial spirit, while the Heavenly Dao was the true Pangu. Hongjun, who had already merged with the Dao, could only barely maintain the operation of the Heavenly Dao, preventing the prehistoric world from rapidly heading towards its end. It was similar to the Heavenly Dao being in a state of slumber.)
After Pangu's death and the demise of the Heavenly Dao, the primordial world grew increasingly chaotic over the centuries. Various evil demons, monsters, and evil spirits proliferated everywhere, and some primordial beings gradually became unrestrained and lawless. This chaos originated at its very root, and even Hongjun and the six great sages could not stop it from continuing.
Not only Hongjun, but the remaining six sages were also extremely busy with this. In order to reduce the demons that were wreaking havoc in the prehistoric world, even Nuwa established a sect. Many powerful beings in the prehistoric world followed suit under the leadership of the six sages, taking in many disciples and eliminating demons.
However, in the current chaotic state of the primordial world, the weak human race has been largely ignored.
Although the six sages knew that the human race was the protagonist of the prehistoric world, under the current circumstances, the human race was weak, had limited talent, and their bodies were mixed with the blood and soil left over from the war between the witch and demon races. They were simply not capable of playing the role of the protagonist of the prehistoric world. With the destruction of the Heavenly Dao, without the strong promotion and arrangement of the Heavenly Dao, whether the human race would still be able to become the protagonist of the prehistoric world in the future has become a huge question.
Furthermore, since the human race's bodies are mixed with the blood and soil left over from the great war between the witch and demon races, and they are not under the control of the Heavenly Dao, it is a huge question whether the human race will also become one of the sources of chaos and chaos.
Fortunately, the human race was the protagonist race arranged by the Heavenly Dao, and Hongjun did not completely abandon them. However, he merely observed the human race's development.
As for Wang Han's death, the Seven Sages dared not speak of it after the chaos began in the prehistoric world. They only said that Wang Han had been in the Zixiao Palace and praised him highly. After all, in the prehistoric world, which was now in chaos and difficult to control, Wang Han, whose abilities were almost unbeatable in the eyes of the people and who could almost rival Hongjun, was a huge deterrent. It was better to let Wang Han become a role model for demons and give them more arrogance.
The Seven Sages treated those who knew Wang Han the same as always, and even showed extra care to the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, and the Taoist Hongyun.
(Even Wang Han hadn't anticipated the changes in the primordial world.)
Deep within the chaos, after a thousand years, the storm caused by Wang Han's self-destruction finally subsided, although the earth, wind, water, and fire within remained extremely chaotic.
"The harvest is not bad, and I can almost be resurrected." At the spot where Wang Han had self-destructed, Wang Han, in his soul form, collected the last fragments of Pangu's laws and smiled with satisfaction.
With a single step, he left this shattered chaos. Without anything to support the heavens, this shattered chaos will completely heal in a few thousand years.
