Chapter 254: The Catastrophe of World-Creation
Tens of thousands of years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Chuan, Pangu, and the other Chaos Demon Gods continuously expanded the Chaos Void. With the combined efforts of 120,000 Chaos Demon Gods, the void grew larger and vaster, its boundaries stretching beyond comprehension.
Gradually, the clear Qi ascended while the turbid Qi descended, giving birth to the boundless laws of heaven and earth. The fundamental forces of creation—the elements—began to take shape, swirling throughout this nascent realm.
It was as if, at this very moment, the heavens and the earth had been born.
The primordial powers of earth, wind, water, and fire permeated the world, shaping its form and essence.
No one could truly fathom the size of this new world that Gu Chuan and the others had forged. It was vast beyond measure, its limits unknowable even to the Divine Sense of the Chaos Demon Gods.
"Is this truly the beginning of the world?"
Gu Chuan's eyes gleamed with profound insight. For tens of thousands of years, he had cleaved through countless laws of Chaos, meticulously separating the forces of existence, much like the legendary Paoding dismembering an ox—his blade moving effortlessly between sinew and bone, carving through the very fabric of reality itself.
Through this process, he attained great enlightenment. The infinite truths of the Dao surged into his consciousness, filling the depths of his mind with boundless revelations. His power ascended exponentially.
At that moment, his heart trembled, resonating with the pulse of creation itself. The world they had forged had reached a critical threshold—one that even the Five Elements Pillar could barely support. Any further expansion would invite catastrophe. The weight of heaven and earth would grow unbearable, and the collapse that followed would be beyond reckoning.
Too much of anything, even greatness, could lead to ruin. A world too vast would crumble under its own weight. Balance must be maintained.
