When Chaos first opened, it nurtured Three Thousand Laws, corresponding to the Three Thousand Demon Gods. Logically speaking, among the Three Thousand Laws, Time reigned supreme, followed by Space, and then Fate, Karma, Creation...
However, an anomaly appeared in Chaos: Pangu Great God, the controller of the Law of Power, was born with three Chaos Supreme Treasures. This individual was about to Breakthrough the Dao's shackles by proving the Dao with power.
The Time Dominator and the Master of Fate were existences second only to Pangu among the Three Thousand Demon Gods. One could perceive the future, and the other could see through Fate.
The two of them jointly calculated a great tribulation: in the future, the Three Thousand Demon Gods would be plotted against by the Dao and would fight Pangu to the death. Ultimately, the Three Thousand Demon Gods would perish, with the Time Dominator and Master of Fate being the first to fall.
To counter the Dao's scheme, they intended to join forces with the Space Demon God, Yang Mei, and gather the Dominators of the three great Laws—Time, Space, and Fate—to seek a way to break the tribulation.
Unexpectedly, Yang Mei feared the might of the Dao and retreated at the last moment. The calculations of the Time Dominator and the Master of Fate were discovered by the Dao, which unleashed a Dao Divine Punishment, causing both of them to perish.
...
“Digging, digging, digging in the mysterious garden...”
Li Xinghe, in his sleep, was dreaming of meeting a certain goddess, his hands still making digging motions.
Just as he was about to enter a crucial stage, he suddenly felt as if something was restraining him.
“My goddess, I must dig you out today!” Li Xinghe roared.
As a result, he woke up suddenly due to overexcitement. However, his surroundings were not his familiar room, but a boundless Chaos.
“What kind of ghost place is this?” Li Xinghe felt as if he was trapped inside an embryo, unable to move.
“This is the boundless Chaos, and you will be the 3001st Demon God of Chaos!” A ethereal voice echoed in his mind.
“Chaos? Demon God? And who are you?” Li Xinghe was utterly bewildered, suspecting he was still dreaming.
Isn't that the name from Honghuang World novels? Did I Transmigration?
“I am the Time Dominator!”
“I am the Master of Fate!”
Two different voices resonated in Li Xinghe’s mind, belonging to the Time Dominator and the Master of Fate, two of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
It turned out that the two great Demon Gods died fighting the Dao. Before their demise, they accidentally pulled Li Xinghe into this spacetime, injecting fragments of Time and Fate into his Body Integration.
Furthermore, the Time Wheel and the Wheel of Fate merged under the Dao Divine Lightning, transforming into a shovel according to Li Xinghe’s obsession during his Transmigration.
Having read many Honghuang World novels, Li Xinghe naturally knew these two were existences ranked only second to Pangu Great God among the Three Thousand Demon Gods.
“What in the world is this broken shovel?” I was clearly digging for a goddess. Aren’t you Demon Gods? Why didn’t you bring your own goddesses over?
“This... thing in your hand is your accompanying Spirit Treasure, a fusion of the Time Wheel and the Wheel of Fate. It should be considered a Chaos Supreme Treasure.”
The Time Wheel and the Wheel of Fate were both top-grade Chaos Spirit Treasures. It was unexpected that they would accidentally combine into a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
One must know that treasures of this level were extremely rare in the entire Chaos.
However, the two Demon Gods were truly speechless about the shovel's appearance. They never expected that this kid's mind would be filled with thoughts of digging before his Transmigration...
After some discussion, Li Xinghe finally accepted the fact that he had Transmigration.
Just as the Master of Fate said, he should now be considered the 3001st Demon God of Chaos.
“You two old geezers, you were plotting against the Dao, what does that have to do with me? And Pangu hasn’t even opened the heavens yet. What if Pangu chops me with an axe under the Dao’s scheme? I haven’t even dug up my goddess yet.”
However, the two Demon Gods, Time and Fate, had already finished their final instructions and completely dissipated into Chaos.
At this moment, Li Xinghe felt a blur and soon lost consciousness.
He was originally a Mortal. If not for the protective embryo outside, he would have died long ago.
Under the calculations of the Time Dominator and the Master of Fate, he had now become the 3001st Demon God nurtured by Chaos, receiving nourishment from Chaos Spiritual Qi.
Only when Li Xinghe gained the ability to protect himself would the outer embryo dissipate.
After an unknown period, Li Xinghe groggily opened his eyes one day and suddenly saw a pair of deep, large eyes gazing at him.
“Holy cow, what is that?!” Li Xinghe jumped in fright. Before him, a giant stood motionless, staring at him. He didn't know how long it had been watching him.
“Who are you? Why do you possess the aura of Time and Fate?” The giant’s voice boomed like a bell.
“Brother, we’re on the same side!” Li Xinghe had a flash of inspiration. Legends said that Chaos Demon Gods took various forms. For instance, the Space Demon God was a willow tree, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s true form was a centipede.
The person before him, whose appearance was similar to his own, must be the legendary Pangu Great God who opened the heavens and earth.
The giant looked puzzled, but seeing Li Xinghe’s similar appearance, he seemed to genuinely believe him.
“You are too weak!” Pangu had been staring for an unknown duration, seemingly growing a bit impatient.
He had come because he sensed an anomaly in Chaos. Logically, with the Three Thousand Laws in the Chaos World, it should be impossible for a 3001st Demon God to be born.
Li Xinghe was speechless. Who could compare to him? He was an existence even the Dao feared, capable of cleaving a Chaos Demon God with a single axe.
Just as he was thinking about how to curry favor and ask him to spare him when he slays Demon Gods in the future, Pangu suddenly squeezed a drop of his essence blood directly onto his embryo.
Instantly, Li Xinghe felt his blood boiling, as if he had taken a drug, filled with endless power.
“Pangu’s essence blood!” Even if he were an idiot, he would know what was happening.
“Brother, from now on, you are my true brother!”
The power of Pangu’s essence blood was undeniable; just one drop greatly benefited Li Xinghe.
However, as a Mortal in a fleshly body, he couldn't absorb it all, and most of the energy was wasted. But even so, his pseudo-Demon God Body Integration grew significantly, eventually breaking through the outer embryo.
The 3001st Demon God of Chaos was born, and the entire Chaos World surged with energy. All the Demon Gods seemed to sense it.
“An anomaly. It looks very weak, yet its accompanying Spirit Treasure is of Chaos Supreme Treasure level.” Pangu was greatly astonished.
Li Xinghe waved the shovel in his hand, looking speechless. What use could this thing have besides digging?
“Brother, in the Chaos World, only you and I are of the same race. You must protect me.” Li Xinghe immediately clung to Pangu’s leg.
Indeed, even though his Demon God Body Integration had grown considerably, it only barely reached Pangu's thigh, and this was after Pangu had compressed his body to the limit.
Fortunately, these Chaos Demon Gods hadn't interacted much after their birth and were relatively simple-minded. Pangu quickly accepted the fact that he had a kinsman.
“Don’t worry, second brother. Follow me, and no one will dare to bully you from now on.” Pangu nodded.
Li Xinghe was initially delighted, but then he suddenly felt something was off. “Brother, can we use a different address? My name is Li Xinghe!”
“Alright, second brother!”
Forget it. He’s a stubborn one. Second brother it is. Surely, he wouldn't chop his own second brother in the future.
Now that the Three Thousand Demon Gods had all been born, any one of them could probably kill him. He could only stay obediently by Pangu’s side.
Since he was here, he would make the best of it. Li Xinghe had accepted his fate. His only regret was that when others Transmigration, they at least got a System, but all he had was a shovel.
Speaking of the shovel, Li Xinghe’s heart stirred. Its appearance was a bit awkward. (Alright! It was utterly unpresentable!)
But no matter what, it was a Chaos Supreme Treasure. As far as he knew, the only treasures in the entire Chaos World that could be called Supreme Treasures were the Pangu Axe, the jade tablet of creation, and the Thirty-Six Petal chaos green lotus.
Besides these, there was also a legendary chaos pearl, said to be a Chaos Supreme Treasure, but after the Chaos Demon Gods were killed, this pearl disappeared.
This meant that this shovel was now the fifth Chaos Supreme Treasure. As long as he wasn't foolish enough to shout, “If you’re a brother, come chop me!”, and managed to survive until the Honghuang World, with this shovel, wouldn't he be invincible?
At that time, what Chaos Bell, Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner—with one swing of his shovel, they would all be utterly destroyed! (Cantonese: meaning 'the whole family dies')
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt delighted, even Can't help it laughing out loud.
“Digging, digging, digging in the Honghuang World, digging for beautiful women to have babies with...”
“Second brother, what are you digging for?” Pangu was puzzled. His convenient second brother seemed to have a slightly underdeveloped brain. It looked like he needed more nourishment.
Li Xinghe looked at Pangu, his eyes wide. This was the true first ruthless person of Chaos!
At this moment, Pangu stood upon the chaos green lotus, with the jade tablet of creation above his head, holding the Pangu Axe, surrounded by the Heaven-Defying Auspicious Clouds—a complete nouveau riche.
Others’ accompanying Spirit Treasures were at most one, and only ordinary Chaos Spirit Treasures, but he alone had three, all Chaos Supreme Treasures. He was indeed the favored child of Chaos.
Li Xinghe was practically drooling. In the later Honghuang World, all those weapons that could suppress heaven and earth were related to these Supreme Treasures. If he could trick one or two of them, he would be invincible even sitting still.
However, Li Xinghe wasn't stupid. Their relationship wasn't that close yet. If he spoke up now, he would probably become the first Demon God to fall under the Pangu Axe.
To establish himself in Chaos, one must possess formidable strength. Li Xinghe inherited the abilities of the Time Dominator and the Master of Fate, giving him a Foundation far surpassing ordinary Demon Gods.
After a period of understanding, he grew to like the shovel in his hand even more. It was ugly, but its functions were truly powerful.
The shovel combined all the functions of the Time Wheel and the Wheel of Fate. It could alter the flow of time, and as his cultivation increased, it could even freeze or reverse time in certain areas.
It could also rewrite Fate, perceive the future, and brought good luck. After all, it was a tool that could Dominator Fate. He could casually dig a few times in Chaos and unearth some treasures.
However, his current strength was too weak to fully control it. According to Pangu, a Chaos Supreme Treasure had 129,600 Chaos Divine Restrictions, equivalent to a Yuan. Only by fully refining it could the treasure's power be unleashed.
At his current cultivation level, refining even one Divine Restriction would take an unknown number of years.
However, as his strength grew, his refining speed would greatly increase.
“Second brother, I think I heard you say something about ‘utterly destroyed’ earlier. Is that the name of this Supreme Treasure?”
“Big brother, you misheard.” What a joke. Such a powerful weapon, even if it was ugly, its name had to be majestic.
“From now on, it shall be called the chaos shovel!” Li Xinghe shouted.
Suddenly, a wave of Karma descended from the sky, attaching itself to the chaos shovel.
Well, no wonder Chaos Supreme Treasures were Heaven-Defying. Even giving it a name brought Dao Karma. This was an all-purpose item that could enhance cultivation, offset Karma, and even help him refine Chaos Divine Restrictions.
“I think ‘utterly destroyed’ isn’t bad either. Or maybe I should rename my axe the ‘utterly destroyed axe’?” Pangu muttered to himself.
Li Xinghe thought about how Pangu would swing his axe in the future, and the Three Thousand Demon Gods would all be utterly destroyed. It really was fitting.
However, he was afraid that arbitrarily changing names would incur some Karma from the Dao, which would be a net loss. After his persistent persuasion, Pangu finally abandoned the idea.
