Chapter 1049: Chapter 1048: This Egg, the Golden Crow Clan Ancestor?

Pangu cleaved the heavens and the earth, this timeless legend always circulated in the world. Even as Earth’s secular world evolved to today with many so-called human species, it has received acceptance from most species. Just like the elder of the Golden Crow Clan said, the so-called current secular world is actually just the Mortal World of Ancient Times. Earth finally evolved to what it is today, unsuitable for cultivation, the Mortal World became the secular world, with many different civilizations emerging. Just like the Martial Arts World which has developed to the present, leading to the emergence of Martial Artists and Superpower Users, but the root of things remains unchanged. It’s just the normal development of a world, resulting in different things, which is easy to understand.

Ye Tianchen was shocked to witness such a scene and hear the words of the Golden Crow Clan elder. He has lived in Earth’s secular world not just for a day or two. Regarding this legend of Pangu cleaving the heavens and earth, even if he hadn’t learned it, he occasionally heard people around him mention it. He hadn’t expected that such an unreliable myth could actually be true. Despite some differences, it’s indeed a real event, making him ponder the legend of Pangu:

The heavens and earth were chaotic like a chicken egg, and Pangu was born among it. After eighteen thousand years, the heavens were cleaved, the light and clear forming the sky, the heavy and turbid forming the earth. Pangu within the midst altered nine times a day, divine in the sky, sacred on the earth. Each day the sky grew higher by one zhang, the earth thicker by one zhang, Pangu grew by one zhang daily, so passed eighteen thousand years. The sky grew extremely high, the earth extremely deep, Pangu exceedingly long. Later emerged the three sovereigns, originating from one, standing at three, completing at five, flourishing at seven, residing at nine, thus the heavens stand nine thousand miles above the earth.

Legend says before the heavens were cleaved, the universe was like a giant chaotic egg. A giant named Pangu lay dormant within this ”egg” for about 18,000 years before awakening, discovering the surrounding darkness. Pangu stretched out his massive hand and cleaved through the darkness with a loud boom, shattering the ”egg,” stirring the chaos of thousands of years. The light and pure things slowly rose up and spread out, forming the blue sky; while the heavy and murky things slowly descended, becoming the land beneath his feet. Pangu, standing between heaven and earth, was very pleased. Fearing the heavens might close back into the previous state, he held up the sky with his hands and stood on the earth, allowing his body to grow one zhang taller each day. With his growth, the sky grew higher by one zhang daily, the earth thicker by one zhang daily. Thus passed another 180,000 years, the sky grew ever higher, the earth ever thicker, Pangu’s body grew to a length of 90,000 li.

Pangu, relying on his divine power, finally cleaved the heavens and earth. However, Pangu also died of exhaustion. Before dying, the breath from his mouth transformed into the drifting clouds of four seasons; the sound into the thunder in the sky; his left eye became the sun, right eye the moon; his hair and beard into the stars of the night sky; his body into the four poles and the magnificent Three Mountains and Five Peaks; blood into rivers; veins and arteries into roads; muscles into farmlands; teeth, bones, and bone marrow into the underground minerals; skin and sweat into the plants on the earth, sweat transformed into dew and rain. Legend says Pangu’s spirit and soul transformed into humans after his death. Thus, it is said humans are the spirits of all things in the world.

And there’s another legend circulating on Earth, which says that before Pangu cleaved the heavens, there was Chaos, all things muddled and confused! What should Pangu do after cleaving the heavens? Transform his body into the myriad things in the world. But what to do if he had no heirs? Wish to pass on his abilities and character to his descendants. After transforming his entire body into the myriad things, he set aside his eyes and hair. After his eyes transformed into the sun, moon, stars, he hid his tears and saved two strands of hair for the time unknown, many many years... One day, when the king of Youxiong Country, Shaodian, passed by a small hill, he accidentally touched Pangu’s tears. The sky displayed a rainbow across the sun, diverse and resplendent, peaceful and auspicious. The first existent tribe was the Fuxi tribe, known as Human Ancestor, meaning the ancestor of humanity. After many years, among the tribes was Shaodian with a child, this child was Emperor Xuanyuan, who allied with Emperor Yan and became the most famous sovereign of China — Emperor Huang.

Pangu cleaves the heavens,

Creates hills and rivers,

Divides lands for people to live,

Creates seas to hold water.

Pangu cleaves the heavens,

Divides mountains and plains,

Opens three paths,

Roads connect everywhere.

Pangu cleaves the heavens,

Creates the sun, moon, stars,

Because of Pangu,

People only gain enlightenment.

A myth-like legend, yet it truly happened. However, the legends passed down in Earth’s Mortal World are not all true. Just as Ye Tianchen saw from the elder of the Golden Crow Clan, Pangu was not trapped in this world, trying to break free by splitting the heavens and the earth. Instead, Pangu was born powerful, like an Immortal from the Immortal World. With one foot, he shattered this dark world, swinging the great axe in his hand and completely breaking this dark world. And it was not Pangu’s body that transformed into mountains and rivers to form this world. After breaking the world, Pangu disappeared, and then a Sun Star fell into this world, slowly giving birth to the Ancient Alien Race, the Demon Clan, and the Human Clan, continuing to today’s state.

In fact, it’s quite simple. The legend of Pangu creating the world, still circulating in today’s Earth’s Mortal World, is a true event. However, the people’s thinking in Earth’s Mortal World is narrow. They dare not imagine such things, nor do they dare to think about them. Even powerful Martial Artists, including Ye Tianchen, dare not imagine. Most people in Earth’s Mortal World see the world as limited to Earth’s star range, believing Pangu’s world creation led to Earth’s birth and his body transformed into Earth’s mountains and rivers. But that’s not the case. The information from the elder of the Golden Crow Clan reveals that the whole Martial Arts World—what the Mortal World calls the universe—was actually created by the Pangu Immortal. It was not created under oppression but was the creation of such a Martial Arts World.

”This is precisely the scene of the birth of this Martial Arts World, also of the entire universe. As for its subsequent evolution, it’s truly too vast; with my power, it’s impossible to display it!” The elder of the Golden Crow Clan remarked with some astonishment.

Ye Tianchen returned to his senses, furrowed his brows, and couldn’t help but ask, ”Why are you telling me such a story, letting me know all this? Is it to inform me about the origin of the Golden Crow Clan?”

”No, even I don’t clearly know about the origin of the Golden Crow Clan. I remember that when I woke up, I had already arrived in this world, living within the Divine Tree on the Sun Star. Gradually, I strengthened the Golden Crow Clan, becoming part of the many Ancient Alien Races. I incarnated in human form, traversing the Martial Arts World, but couldn’t find the root of the Golden Crow Clan’s origin...” The elder of the Golden Crow Clan seemed slightly puzzled.

”Then you are...” Ye Tianchen was stunned, his gaze somewhat vacant as he asked.

”I am the Guardian God of the Golden Crow Clan!” The elder of the Golden Crow Clan replied calmly.

”Guardian God of the Golden Crow Clan?” Ye Tianchen asked, puzzled.

”The origin of the Golden Crow Clan is unknown, perhaps naturally born on the Sun Star, or perhaps it truly fell from the Immortal Domain. All I know is that my mission is to guard the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan until it is reborn and dominates the world!” The elder of the Golden Crow Clan nodded as he spoke.

”The ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan... is it the egg sealed on the Sealing Demon Cliff?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp as he asked.

”Yes, that egg is indeed the ancestor of our Golden Crow Clan. It was once a revered existence among all species. Yet, I don’t know why it underwent Nirvana Rebirth. At that time, it had just arrived in this world, and after glancing at this world, it said it would undergo Nirvana Rebirth and emerge only after billions of years. I have used my body, blood, will, and Divine Sense to transform into countless runes to guard this egg until the day it is born. This is my mission.” The elder of the Golden Crow Clan seriously said to Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The revelation was extremely shocking. Given that Pangu Immortal’s world creation legend has inconsistencies in Mortal World myths, it is understandable. After all, Mortal World humans have limited understanding and can only speculate. However, to know this egg on ”Sealing Demon Cliff” is actually the Golden Crow Clan’s ancestor is beyond shocking.

The ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan must be incredibly powerful. Quite frankly, during the Ancient Early Stage, it was certainly the master of the heavens and the earth. Even the elder guarding the egg already exudes the might of an Emperor-level being; let alone the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan. Ye Tianchen could even imagine how powerful the ancestor must be, at least reaching Emperor Realm-level strength, making it something people could only look up to.

”The ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan chose to undergo Nirvana Rebirth. It seems it knew something, right?” Ye Tianchen regained his composure, forcing himself to remain calm as he asked.

”That I do not know. My mission is to guard this egg during the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan’s Nirvana Rebirth. When it is born, it will mark the completion of my mission. At that moment, I shall vanish entirely from the world.” The elder of the Golden Crow Clan spoke.

Ye Tianchen looked at this elder of the Golden Crow Clan, resolutely, even prepared for life and death, and said, ”I now intend to seal this egg again for another hundred thousand years. Even if it is the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan, I will still do it!” (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes.
