Pangu did not truly die.
He foresaw his own demise and, using his powers, preserved his last wisp of consciousness.
Then, he hid it within the deepest part of Pangu Hall, the Ancestral Witch Hall, within Pangu's heart.
The vast majority of his power, from his half-step Great Dao realm, transformed into all living beings, into the Primordial Spirits of the Three Pure Ones, and into the bodies of the Ancestral Witches.
Pangu had a plan.
When he first created the Primordial World, it wasn't out of great love for all beings, but solely to attain the realm of a Great Dao Saint.
However, he failed.
And this led to his true form being divided among all beings, leaving only a sliver of his consciousness in a tragic state.
But he had not truly perished.
Pangu had made arrangements after he annihilated the three thousand demon gods.
He deliberately turned the corpses of the three thousand demon gods into the Three Thousand Demon God Worlds.
Then, he intentionally used the boundless resentment of the three thousand demon gods towards the Primordial World to indirectly guide the invasion of the Primordial World by the Gods Above Gods.
The beings of the Primordial World were originally formed from Pangu.
These beings, like seedlings at the dawn of creation, were useless for attaining the realm of a Great Dao Saint.
But after being nurtured through countless eons, the power of these beings finally gave Pangu hope of achieving the Great Dao Saint realm.
Next, Pangu's consciousness only needed to wait peacefully within Pangu Hall for the war between the Gods Above Gods and the Heavenly Dao Saints to conclude. After their mutual demise,
He could then emerge and re-integrate the consciousness of all beings, transforming back into Pangu's true form.
By combining the Three Thousand Demon God Worlds and the Primordial World, along with the power of all beings, Pangu's spirit and mind would become one, and he would truly achieve the Great Dao Saint realm.
In the past, Pangu's Primordial Spirit transformed into the Three Pure Ones, his physical body into the Ancestral Witches, and his less significant parts into all living beings.
All beings were originally formed from Pangu.
For Pangu to revive and return, he naturally had to merge with the beings he had created, the Three Pure Ones, and the Ancestral Witches, to destroy the world and resurrect himself.
Only then could his true form be reassembled.
If the world were not destroyed, how could he reclaim his Primordial Spirit and physical body? All beings were a part of Pangu; to resurrect, he had to possess their bodies, their powers, their minds, and their wills.
Pangu's plan was meticulously laid out, and everything was arranged.
Unexpectedly, there was the variable of the Solitary Fire Ghost King.
He was the sole variable, precisely because the Solitary Fire Ghost King was neither a being of the Primordial World nor of the Three Thousand Demon God Worlds.
The Solitary Fire Ghost King escaped Pangu's machinations. Then, while Pangu's plan had not yet been initiated and his power was at its absolute weakest, the Solitary Fire Ghost King, with his Saint-level strength, annihilated Pangu's residual consciousness.
Victory belongs to the victor, regardless of luck. In the end, the Solitary Fire Ghost King won, and Pangu lost.
The Solitary Fire Ghost King, having learned of Pangu's specific arrangements and plans, patiently waited for the end of the all-out war.
Pangu's plans, schemes, and methods profoundly influenced the Gods Above Gods and the Seven Heavenly Dao Saints. Without the Solitary Fire Ghost King's interference, they would have been very reliable.
Indeed, Jehovah's Genesis and Hongjun's Jade Disc of Creation contained Pangu's hidden arrangements.
At the critical moment, the seven Saints and the six Gods Above Gods met their end in mutual destruction.
The Primordial World and the Three Thousand Demon God Worlds entered an era without Saints.
However, the Solitary Fire Ghost King emerged to claim the prize.
He followed Pangu's plan, completing each step sequentially. He devoured the beings of the Primordial World and the Three Thousand Demon God Worlds, then absorbed the origins of the Primordial World, the Three Thousand Demon God Worlds, the Seven Saints, and the Gods Above Gods into his body.
He also merged the supreme treasures of both realms: Genesis and the Jade Disc of Creation.
Finally, before the arrival of the immeasurable kalpa, he ascended to the realm of a Great Dao Saint.
He entrusted his Dao fruit to the Void, becoming eternally indestructible.
...
Standing before the ruins of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Solitary Fire Ghost King fell into reminiscence.
At this moment, above the countless great universes as numerous as Ganges river sands, the Human Race Heavenly Court, which presided over myriad worlds, looked down upon this ancient Saint.
"In the Myriad Worlds of Number Yi 873, a new ancient Saint has appeared?"
Ziyi Shi murmured to himself.
The so-called Myriad Worlds did not refer to the true myriad worlds of the boundless void, but rather the myriad worlds as the Human Race referred to them.
This situation was not laughable. Within the void, many fictional worlds had internal designations of "Myriad Worlds."
In reality, the combined size of the "Myriad Worlds" within a considerable portion of these fictional worlds was smaller than a single supercluster.
Since the Primordial World expanded to a point where countless Ganges river sand universes were merely insignificant parts of it,
The Human Race Heavenly Court's rule over the Primordial World, and even broader regions, had been technologically reinforced by the construction of numerous Eternal Gates.
These Eternal Gates were prefixed with the characters Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui, followed by numbers.
Each gate, and each numbered designation, represented a realm of Myriad Worlds.
Within each realm of Myriad Worlds, every individual world was guaranteed to be the size of a complete great universe.
The number "Myriad Worlds" was actually a figurative term; even if the quantity reached hundreds of millions or trillions, it was still referred to as "Myriad Worlds."
Tens of trillions of great universes, or even more, constituted one realm of Myriad Worlds.
The number of Eternal Gates and the number of digits in their prefixes indicated how many realms of Myriad Worlds the Human Race Heavenly Court controlled.
Through the Eternal Gates, one could deploy forces to designated locations.
With this, the Human Race Heavenly Court also maintained a deep level of control over the Primordial World.
Upon discovering the trace of the ancient Saint Solitary Fire Ghost King, Ziyi Shi immediately thought of dispatching numerous Immortal Kings of the Human Race Heavenly Court to descend directly into the realm of Myriad Worlds where the Solitary Fire Ghost King resided, Number Yi 873, and annihilate him.
Unlike the Green-Clad Girl, the Solitary Fire Ghost King was an ancient Saint that the Human Race could eliminate by deploying multiple Immortal Kings.
Ziyi Shi had also reviewed the report submitted by his subordinates concerning the Solitary Fire Ghost King.
The report stated: "Ancient Saint: Solitary Fire Ghost King."
"Upon detection, the Solitary Fire Ghost King is a combination of a ghost path and a flame body, possessing characteristics of both spectral beings and fire elementals."
"The Solitary Fire Ghost King possesses strength comparable to that of an Immortal King Giant. He is suspected to have undergone a hundred tribulations, cultivating both the Immortal Path and the Divine Path, possessing an Immortal Dao fruit and a Divine Dao divine kingdom, occupying Immortal Dao laws and Divine Dao primal force."
"His most proficient skill is likely flame divine abilities, with secondary skills potentially including divine, Buddhist, and ghost path abilities."
"Distinguishing him from the ancient Saint Green-Clad Girl, this ancient Saint poses a low threat to the Human Race Heavenly Court. Although he can inflict some damage, the harm to the Human Race Heavenly Court as a whole is relatively minor."
"Solution: Dispatching a few Immortal King Supreme Giants from the Human Race is sufficient to suppress and resolve this ancient Saint."
This report was generated by various instruments of the Human Race through remote detection.
The power levels of ancient Saints varied greatly.
Therefore, they could not be treated uniformly; specific situations required specific analyses, and the solutions employed also differed.
Currently, the Human Race Heavenly Court was extremely powerful.
There were several Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
The number of Immortal King Supreme Giants had reached dozens, almost a hundred.
