Chapter 669: Chapter 522 The Glory and Mission of the Pangu Clan_2

"May I inquire what the esteemed elder refers to as the Ancestral Star?"

Wang Yang took a step back and respectfully asked the old man.

"Indeed, your side would not call it the Ancestral Star."

"Let me ask you, is the world you hail from created by the Great God Pangu?"

The old man pondered for a moment before asking again.

"Precisely! The Great God Pangu created Heaven and Earth, thus giving rise to the Three Realms of today. It should also be what the elder refers to as the Ancestral Star."

Wang Yang spoke.

"Sit!"

The old man nodded his head, and at his word, he had already returned to his seat at the head place.

What terrified Wang Yang the most was that he himself had also taken a seat beside the old man.

Throughout this process, Wang Yang didn’t sense it at all. A single command from the elder made him, a One-Step Saint, take his place willingly.

What an eerie strength this was!

"I never expected that the Pangu Clan would still see a visitor from the Ancestral Star. It’s not easy, indeed! Not easy!"

The elder said ’not easy’ twice in succession, and when he looked at Wang Yang, his scrutinizing gaze diminished, replaced by more kindness.

"Elder, what is the relationship between the Great God Pangu and the Pangu Clan?"

Wang Yang asked, looking at the old man.

"Naturally, there’s a significant connection."

The old man replied, "Do you know where continents come from? How could there be continents if everything was Void to begin with?"

Hearing this, Wang Yang pondered for a while before answering the elder, "The junior’s humble opinion is that Chaos was born from the Void, and continents from Chaos."

The elder was startled by this response, not expecting Wang Yang to have such insight, and his kindly expression became even thicker.

"Well said, for a One-Step Saint to have such an understanding is quite commendable."

"Indeed, it was all Void at first, yet Chaos was born."

"Only after countless years did Chaos evolve into continents."

"However, this is not entirely accurate."

The old man, despite his fierce appearance, spoke with the kindness of an elderly neighbor.

"Chaos will always remain Chaos, a weave of countless gases. How could it evolve into something as concrete as continents?"

The old man said cheerfully, "Thus we have the Great God Pangu creating Heaven and Earth, Pure Qi ascending, impure Qi descending, evolving into the world as we know it."

"It’s not only where you come from; all Ancestral Stars evolved in this way."

"This is the mission of the Pangu Clan."

The elder enunciated every word with emphasis at the end.

Wang Yang sat on the side, and upon hearing the elder’s last words, he was startled.

A mission?

How could it be a mission?

Wasn’t the Pangu Clan created by the Great God Pangu?

Wasn’t it because after Pangu created Heaven, he survived and came to the Void?

The so-called Ancestral Star? What was that?

Wang Yang had thought that coming here would resolve his confusion, but at this moment, he felt even more perplexed.

Without caring whether it was polite to interrupt, he stood up and voiced all his doubts directly to the old man.

"There’s no need to rush; I’ll explain them to you one by one."

The elder gestured with his hand for Wang Yang to sit down and not to worry, after hearing him.

But now, Wang Yang’s mind was a tangled mess of doubts, and he yearned to unravel them sooner. Even sitting there was hardly comforting.

"The Pangu Clan, indeed, was created by the Great God Pangu."

"However, the Great God Pangu is not one individual, but a group."

"What connects in the Void are not only the Chaos evolved from the Void but also the myriad worlds."

"And this land we stand upon is precisely the intersection of myriad worlds."

"The Pangu Clan was created, birthed, and eventually linked myriad worlds by the first Great God Pangu, and it repressed the myriad paths of the Dao."

"You could say that the Pangu Clan is the very first native race in the Void, as well as the most primal of beings."

"Other cities in the Void, apart from the Ancestral Star, are lands that have neared the Void and migrated here from the outside."

"Originally, they were adrift at the edges of the Void, under its care."

"Only when a formidable individual arose among them could they wield Great Magical Power to shift their entire land into this place!"

"Besides them, the vastness of myriad worlds is immeasurably vast."

"The Void continuously nurtures Chaos, which is eventually opened into worlds by different instances of Pangu."

"The Ancestral Star you come from is also one of the worlds opened by a Pangu!"

"Besides those like us who missed the opportunity to open worlds and ultimately Achieve Saintliness, other members of the Pangu Clan will seize any chance to venture into Chaos at the Quasi-Saint pinnacle and open up a new world."

"This is the mission and duty of our Pangu Clan since birth until now!"

"So, Great God Pangu was actually just a Quasi-Saint? And after creating Heaven and Earth, he was destined to die?"

Wang Yang found it hard to believe, never expecting that the Great God Pangu, who was most revered in the Three Realms was just an ordinary clan member in the Pangu Clan. Moreover, no one from the Pangu Clan even knew his name; he was only referred to as Pangu in Chaos.

"When a person reaches the limit of their strength, it is the same for Quasi-Saints. After Heaven and Earth were opened up, even the strongest Quasi-Saints would be weary to death."

"This is the fate of our Pangu Clan."

"Unless at the peak of being a Quasi-Saint, when there is no newly born Chaos in the Void and there’s no need to create a world, only then would one choose to breakthrough and become a Saint."

"Precisely because of this, the population of our Pangu Clan has become increasingly scarce!"

"Even this continent cannot be measured in its entirety anymore."

The elder sighed. All of this was the destiny of their Pangu Clan, something that could not be replaced or changed.

"Then why don’t you settle down in this place and live and work in peace and contentment, no longer concerning yourself with the matter of creating worlds?"

No sooner had Wang Yang finished speaking than he regretted it. This was the mission of the Pangu Clan, but it was also their glory.

To ask them here to give up continuing to forge new worlds – was that not a joke?

"Hmph! Didn’t expect the first person from the Ancestral Star to come here would only know pleasure!"

The elder snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with Wang Yang’s words.

Wang Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knowing full well that what he had just said should not have been uttered.

"All things have life, mortals as such, cultivators as such, continents as such, the Void is no different."

"Without the birth of Chaos, the Void will become dead silent."

"If Chaos continuously expands, eventually Chaos will devour the Void."

"Our Pangu Clan, whenever Chaos expands, will choose someone at the pinnacle of the Quasi-Saint realm to go out and fulfill our necessary mission!"

When the Great Elder said these words, there was no hint of sorrow for sending clan members to their deaths. Instead, he felt proud of this mission of the Pangu Clan.

"Wang Yang apologizes for what he just said, elder. Please accept my bow!"

Wang Yang stood up and spoke earnestly.

After speaking, he bowed deeply to the elder.

"Fellow Daoist is the first person I have seen from the Ancestral Star in these countless years. This must be divine will."

The elder looked at Wang Yang and said, "But your strength as a One-Step Saint at the Peak is indeed still weak."

Wang Yang felt somewhat embarrassed by these words, but considering the strength of the Pangu Clan, his own cultivation level was indeed trivial.

"Elder, when I came here, I saw that the great road was filled with mountains, and there were no signs of inhabited land."

"Also, on this continent, I feel that in every aspect, things are somewhat reduced compared to outside."

Wang Yang looked at the elder and spoke, a point he couldn’t quite figure out.

A world indeed has the capability to limit one’s strength.

But that was predicated on a strong Heavenly Dao and equally strong spatial barriers.

Yet, Wang Yang did not feel the presence of the Heavenly Dao on this continent, and the spatial barriers seemed just like the Three Realms.

But indeed, his speed and all kinds of reactions had significantly decreased here.

"This has to do with another mission of our Pangu Clan!"

Unlike the Eighth Elder who spoke in half-truths and was deliberately mysterious, the elder gave Wang Yang the most detailed explanations to his questions.

"Although the Pangu Clan has needed Quasi-Saints to open up continents over countless years, it shouldn’t have resulted in only these few clan members left."

"Since birth, our Pangu Clan has been shouldering the heavy responsibility of suppressing the Myriad Paths."

"The land beneath your feet may look no different from other continents, but in reality, it is condensing the essence of Myriad Paths."

"If you could move as freely here as in other places, that would be the real anomaly."

The elder looked at Wang Yang, his expression seeming to say, "Don’t overthink it; it’s just that you’re too weak."

"Suppressing the Myriad Paths? But aren’t the Myriad Paths present in all other continents?"

Wang Yang didn’t understand, or maybe the elder’s words were too alarming, making Wang Yang hesitant to think in another direction.

"Hahaha, those dare to be called Myriad Paths?"

The elder spoke disdainfully: "They are merely Minor Dao!"

"Besides, there are only three thousand Heavenly Dao on this continent, many of which have already fled. How then can you talk about Myriad Paths?"

The elder asked in return, leaving Wang Yang with no answer.

Indeed, even if Wang Yang gave the Core of the Earth to the celestial Dao Will of the Three Realms, allowing the Great Dao of the Three Realms to recover, some Dao had still fled.

The Dao of Creation had never even appeared.

Now thinking about it, compared to the Myriad Paths, there was truly a significant difference.

After understanding this, Wang Yang listened to the elder with greater earnestness.

He also understood that this Void was not as he had initially presumed.

Moreover, this mysterious Pangu Clan was obviously of utmost importance.
