Chapter 276 The Mystery of Pangu's Death
Chapter 276 The Mystery of Pangu's Death
After being stumped by Ling Feng's three questions, the other party seemed to realize that what he had just said was indeed somewhat puzzling.
After a brief pause, the mysterious voice returned:
"As for who I really am, you will find out in the future!"
Hearing his answer, a sudden thought flashed through my mind. Recalling our location, my voice trembled slightly as I asked, with a mixture of doubt and anticipation:
"Could you... be the legendary god Pangu?"
However, this time the other party fell into an even longer silence.
Time passed by, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could clearly hear a pin drop.
Just when I was almost convinced that the other person had stopped speaking, the voice unexpectedly rang out again.
"I really didn't expect it, you guessed it right in the end!"
Upon hearing those words, I almost couldn't help but roll my eyes on the spot.
You should know that this place is the Pangu Palace, which was transformed from the heart of Pangu!
In such a place, if it weren't for the master of this palace, the great god Pangu himself, it would be hard to find another person who could whisper here without anyone noticing.
However, the tone of Pangu's voice that Ling Feng had just heard made it sound as if he had long expected to come to this place.
Unable to suppress the overwhelming curiosity within him, he mustered his courage and asked:
"Great God Pangu! Did you already know I would come here?"
However, Ling Feng's question once again went unanswered, like a stone sinking into the sea.
Pangu seemed not to have heard his question at all, and continued to ramble on and on as before.
Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a strange sensation, as if the person he was talking to at this moment was not the great god Pangu who possessed the power to create the world and was awe-inspiring throughout the universe, but an NPC character without any thoughts or consciousness.
However, amidst Pangu's seemingly chaotic ramblings, Ling Feng gradually pieced together the general outline of the entire incident.
It turns out that in order to attain the Great Dao, the great god Pangu resolutely wielded his giant axe to split the chaos and create a vast world.
However, just as he was striving to create it, that hateful Chaos God interfered, preventing the primordial world he had created from taking full shape as he had hoped.
This is why Pangu's attempt to attain enlightenment ultimately failed.
Faced with this harsh reality, Pangu did not give up easily.
To perfect this still-developing world, he made an earth-shattering decision—to sacrifice himself to complete it!
In this way, Pangu filled the gaps in the world with his magnificent body, which led to the various legendary stories about him that have been passed down through the ages.
In reality, these so-called legends are not merely figments of people's imaginations; they are all true reflections of that magnificent period of history.
After Pangu supported the heavens, his thick hair instantly transformed into countless twinkling stars, adorning the vast and boundless universe.
His piercing eyes transformed into the mysterious and unpredictable Moon and the blazing, dazzling Sun, illuminating all things in the world as day and night alternated.
The breath exhaled by Pangu was like a gust of wind howling past, stirring up the dust on the earth;
His unwavering backbone transformed into the towering, majestic Mount Buzhou, supporting the sky.
As for Pangu's heart, after years of sedimentation and evolution, it eventually became the magnificent and solemn Pangu Palace where Ling Feng is currently located.
Apart from that, most of the stories about Pangu creating the world are not much different from the legends that have been passed down for thousands of years.
However, what is remarkable is that the pool of blood-red water in front of Ling Feng is actually the twelve drops of the purest and most concentrated essence blood from inside Pangu's heart.
These twelve drops of essence blood contained boundless vitality and power, which eventually gave birth to the twelve ancestral witches who were renowned throughout the world.
It can be said that these twelve drops of essence blood are the most powerful and pure substances in the world, and their preciousness is beyond description.
Of course, Pangu did not perform such an earth-shattering act because he possessed a spirit of selfless dedication.
In fact, everything he did was in pursuit of the supreme Dao and to achieve his goal of enlightenment.
Once this world is perfected, Pangu's path to enlightenment will be complete, and he will be reborn and descend upon the world once more.
After Pangu finished recounting this magnificent history, his deep and resonant voice gradually disappeared into the void, as if it had never existed.
Ling Feng stood quietly in place, listening to this unbelievable story. He felt as if he were in a dream, as if he were listening to a bizarre and absurd book. His heart was filled with disbelief.
Nevertheless, even now, Ling Feng still couldn't figure out a crucial question—why he had come here.
Unfortunately, Pangu made no mention of this when recounting the past.
So, Ling Feng anxiously shouted and asked around several times, but only empty echoes responded to him, and he never received any answer.
This situation truly puzzled Ling Feng, making him increasingly confused.
Ling Feng stood in the magnificent and mysterious Pangu Palace, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, could this magical system within him have been bestowed upon him by Pangu?
Otherwise, how could the system have guided him all the way here?
What puzzled him even more was that the system seemed to specifically want him to explore the mystery of Pangu's life and death.
Moreover, this place is the Pangu Palace, which was formed from the heart of Pangu. Pangu must have left some secrets and hidden mechanisms here, making it a place that ordinary people cannot easily enter.
However, Ling Feng was able to enter it openly and without any apparent defenses against him, allowing him to explore freely.
Was this because Pangu had unwavering faith in his character, or was there another deeper meaning?
Ling Feng pondered deeply, but still couldn't fathom its mysteries. He felt his mind was in complete chaos, as if he were lost in a fog.
Just as Ling Feng was troubled by this matter, a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
"Ding!"
Immediately afterwards, a pleasant and melodious voice rang out:
"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing the system task. You are hereby awarded the following generous rewards: one million years of cultivation and a fragment of a law comprehension."
Ling Feng was not surprised at all by the successful completion of the system task.
After all, Pangu had just revealed everything, and Ling Feng already knew everything.
If such a task cannot be completed smoothly, that would truly be a strange thing!
However, when Ling Feng saw the rewards for this mission, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
The reward remains simple and straightforward.
Although the reward was simple and unpretentious, Ling Feng was overjoyed.
Just as Ling Feng was immersed in joy and couldn't pull himself out of it, suddenly, the familiar system notification sounded in his mind again.
"Ding"
"A new system mission has been issued: Go to the Sun and the Moon to find out more."
Faced with this new task, Ling Feng was also a little confused for a while.
Could it be that the Moon and the Sun are hiding some unknown secret or mystery?
Otherwise, why would the system specifically arrange for him to investigate?
However, after a moment's thought, Ling Feng made up his mind that regardless of whether there were any anomalies on these two stars, this trip was imperative.
However, even now, Ling Feng still couldn't figure out what the system's true purpose was in bringing him here.
After racking his brains for a long time without finding a solution, Ling Feng finally decided to put aside these chaotic thoughts and carefully explore the Pangu Palace before setting off for the Sun Star and the Moon Star.
