Chapter 726 Pan Gu's Saga
Ezequiel was able to understand the meaning of Pan Gu's words. The Lords of Emptiness consider the universes as wombs whose purpose was to give birth to countless life forms.
One of those life forms would then achieve such great heights that his destiny would surpass that of the universe, becoming the Singularity.
As for the when and how that would happen, the universe had no control over it since the Singularity was something that transcended it.
"If the universe's purpose is to give birth to a Singularity, then what is the purpose of this one?" Ezequiel was extremely interested in the topic of Singularities, especially now that it involved Zatiel.
Pan Gu was happy to share his knowledge with Ezequiel and answered the question. first step for the Singularity is to take complete control over their universe before ascending to the Realm of Truth, where they would break all forms of shackles and become a unique entity that rose to Rank 10 with their own power. As for what happens after that, I have no idea."
Ezequiel nodded to Pan Gu's words, and they made perfect sense. Lords of Emptiness were born to sacrifice themselves in order to birth universes. There was no need for them to know what would happen next.
"You have told me that the original purpose of this Sacred Trial was to obtain a Vessel capable of receiving the Pan and Gu Inheritances so you could possess him, but that is no longer possible." The Supreme Neo-Demon's attitude was solemn as he spoke those words. Even if Pan Gu had no reason to lie, there was no way he would trust someone he had just met.
Pan Gu could see the caution in Ezequiel's eyes but only smiled.
"As you know, my kind is bound to sacrifice themselves to birth a new universe. That is our nature, and none of us can fight against it." Pan Gu paused at that point, and monstrous willpower emerged in his eyes the next second. "However, I refused to walk the path others had laid for me. I might not resist the drive to create a new universe, but that did not mean I would just accept my death!"
Ezequiel admired Pan Gu's determination. He was the Godking of Freedom, so all those striving for it were heroes in his mind.
"Although the Prima Epoch Explosion would shatter my existence, using its pieces to solidify the newborn universe, I created the Emptiness Abode so it could preserve a fragment of my Primordial Essence." ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Ezequiel was surprised to learn that the abode in which he took the Secret Trial had been present since the First Epoch Cycle.
"I had to be careful since if the Universe Will learned what I did, it would do all in its power to suppress me and prevent my rebirth. With each Epoch, I was becoming stronger. In the Eight Epoch, I became powerful enough to implement the last phase of my plan."
The Lord of Emptiness' nature bound him to the martyr's destiny, but this one fought with all his power to change it. The determination needed to implement a plan that would take several Epochs was beyond shocking.
"I fused drops of my blood into the Prima Universe's nucleus, so life forms with the Gu Inheritance would emerge in the Ninth Epoch. Then, I altered the laws so a new world would appear with the Altar of Emptiness as its core."
Ezequiel's eyes narrowed as he heard that and understood the connection between the Titans and Primordials. He was wrong in his belief that the first were descendants of the latter.
Titans contained the Primordial Bloodline hidden inside them because they were born in a world created out of the Emptiness Abode. The forces emitted by Pan Gu must have altered the world's origin and given birth to the Titan Race.
The Supreme Neo-Demon did not lose much time with those thoughts as Pan Gu kept talking.
"Originally, those with the Gu Inheritance would be drawn to this world where they would participate in the True Sacred Trial, the one you surpassed. I needed to test their abilities and also their personalities, as the possession would go much better if it were similar to mine." Pan Gu did not hide anything from Ezequiel, shedding light on the reason behind the secret requirement on the Trial of Life and Trial of Death.
A coward that would only hide could never surpass the Trial of Life, and someone without patience and determination would not be able to take things one step at a time and would fail the Trial of Death.
"After each Epoch Explosion, I entered a state of hibernation that could last several billions of years, so I needed someone to handle the Sacred Trial. The one you saw before was an individual I captured in the Seventh Epoch. Usually, Extreme Rank 9 life form's will would not be affected by the passage of time, but I made some alterations to him, forcing him to strive with everything he had to carry the Sacred Trial to completion."
Pan Gu saw that Ezequiel's eyes showed anger and disdain for the first time since he began speaking. That did not bother him, as he understood where those feelings came from.
"As someone bound to his nature, I also loath slavery, but I have no problem doing it with those that like to take away the freedom of others. That man enslaved almost a third of the universe during his prime, so I gave him a taste of his own medicine."
"Oh, so it was like that." Ezequiel nodded, and his anger vanished. Why would he protect the freedom of those that do not know its value?
"My alterations made him descend into insanity but transformed him into a perfect caretaker. I promised to release him of his burden once he fulfilled his purpose, so I did." Pan Gu showed nothing as he spoke about that man. He did not even care about learning the entity's name.
"Everything was ready for my rebirth in the Ninth Epoch, but I could have never predicted that a Rank 10 life form would have invaded the Prima Universe during the Eight Epoch."
