Chapter 352 Pangu Returns
Su Fan stood on the city wall, looking at Thor.
Thor's blue eyes were so bright that they seemed more like he was there to issue a challenge than to deliver a message.
"Your father is dead, don't you hate me?"
Thor slammed the hammer into the ground, and a crack appeared in the ground.
"Hate. But hate is useless. Odin is dead, and Asgard is left without anyone to care for it. I have Asgard to attend to, and I have no time to hate you."
Su Fan asked, "Jormungandr is your brother, and you can't beat him?"
Thor said, "I can't beat it. It's ten thousand times bigger than me, and older than Pangu. My hammer hitting it is like a mosquito biting an elephant."
Sun Wukong squatted on the city wall battlements, his golden cudgel resting across his knees.
"So you came to deliver this message so we could help you call?"
Thor said, “It’s not fighting for me. It’s fighting for yourselves. Jormungandr eats corpses, and the Wilderness is a corpse. After it finishes eating other corpses, it comes to eat the Wilderness. If you don’t fight, the Wilderness will be gone.”
The Primordial Celestial Venerable took out a map from his sleeve and spread it on the city wall.
The map was made of animal hide and depicted chaos.
Chaos is gray, and in the middle of the gray is a golden dot.
flood.
There are four smaller dots around the first dot, and three of the smaller dots have already disappeared.
The flame of Greek mythology has been extinguished, the flame of Egyptian mythology has been extinguished, and the flame of Indian mythology has been extinguished.
The myth of the cherry blossom country has also been extinguished.
Only the golden light of the primordial wilderness remained shining.
Thor pointed to the four vanishing points on the map.
"Jörmungandr first ate the corpses of Greece, then the corpses of Egypt, then the corpses of India, and then the corpses of Japan. After eating four corpses, it grew four times larger than before. Now it is heading towards the Primordial World. After eating the Primordial World, it will grow ten times larger than it is now."
Su Fan looked at the map and started calculating in his mind.
Jormungandr ate four corpses and grew to four times its original size.
If we eat the primordial devastation again, we'll be ten times bigger.
A snake ten times larger than itself swam in the chaos, and no one could stop it.
After it finishes eating the primordial wasteland, it will go and eat other corpses.
There are other worlds within other corpses.
There are other gods in other worlds.
Those gods could not stop it.
It will keep eating and keep getting bigger, until even chaos can't contain it.
"How do we kill it?" Su Fan asked.
Thor said, "I don't know. I only know that it fears one thing."
"What?"
"The Pangu Axe. The Pangu Axe could cleave chaos, and it could also cleave Jormungandr. But the Pangu Axe is broken."
Su Fan took out Pangu's heart from his pocket.
The blue stone shone, and the light shone on Thor's blue face.
"Pangu's axe shattered, but Pangu's heart remained. Within that heart lies Pangu's power—the power to create heaven and earth."
Thor looked at the heart, a glint of light flashing in his blue eyes.
"Pangu's power could kill Jormungandr. But you are not Pangu. You cannot use Pangu's power."
Su Fan tucked his heart back into his arms.
"Then let's find someone who can be used."
Thor asked, "Who?"
Su Fan said, "Pangu."
Thor paused for a moment.
"Wasn't Pangu dead?"
Su Fan said, "He died. He came back to life. He's on Buzhou Mountain."
Thor pulled the hammer from the ground, and lightning crackled from it.
"I will go with you to Buzhou Mountain."
Su Fan shook his head.
"You stay. The South Heavenly Gate needs someone to guard it."
Thor said, "I am not here to guard the Southern Heavenly Gate. I am here to deliver a message, not to serve as an army."
Su Fan looked at him.
"Before your father died, he asked me to spare his people. I promised. Now his people have come to me for help, and I've helped them. You owe me a favor."
Thor paused for a moment, then put the hammer down.
"Alright. I will stay for three days. After three days, I will return to Asgard."
Su Fan turned around and looked at Sun Wukong.
"Great Sage, come with me to Buzhou Mountain."
Sun Wukong jumped down from the stack and hoisted his golden cudgel onto his shoulder.
"Walk."
Su Fan took out an interdimensional teleportation talisman from his pocket and crushed it.
Golden light enveloped him and Sun Wukong, and in a flash, the two disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was standing at the foot of Mount Buzhou.
The mountain was still the same mountain, black and barren.
The mountain was full of cracks, but there was nothing inside them.
At the foot of the mountain stands a stone tablet with two characters engraved on it: "Buzhou".
Su Fan climbs a mountain.
The mountain is very steep, but there is no road.
He climbed up the gravel, which rolled and fell down beneath his feet.
After climbing for half an hour, we reached the halfway point of the mountain.
There was a flat area halfway up the mountain, and a person was sitting on it.
The man was completely naked, with bluish-gray skin, and was so thin he was skin and bones.
His hair was very long, trailing on the ground, and it was all white, as white as snow.
His eyes were closed, his lips were chapped, and his face was expressionless.
His hands were bound by iron chains, the other end of which was nailed to the stone wall.
Pangu.
Su Fan walked up to him and knelt on one knee.
"Senior, I've arrived."
Pangu did not open his eyes.
His lips moved slightly, and the sound was like the wind blowing through withered wood.
"You've arrived."
Su Fan said, "Jörmungandr has come. It roamed in the chaos and came towards the primordial world. It ate four corpses and grew four times its original size. It came to devour the primordial world."
Pangu opened his eyes.
His eyes were blue with golden pupils, like two suns.
"I know."
Su Fan asked, "Are you able to fight?"
Pangu said, "No. My body has not yet recovered. I struggled to defeat Odin, let alone Jormungandr."
Su Fan took out Pangu's heart from his pocket.
The blue stone shone, and the light shone on Pangu's face.
"This is your heart. Swallow it, and your strength will return."
Pangu stared at the heart, his blue eyes expressionless.
"I swallowed the heart, and my power returned. But I will die."
Su Fan was stunned.
"Will I die?"
Pangu said, “Yes. My heart is my power, and it is also my life. As long as my heart exists, I exist. If my heart is gone, I am gone. When I gave you my heart, I did not intend to live. I thought you would swallow it and become Pangu. You did not swallow it, so I kept it. Now I have swallowed it, and my power has returned, but I am also dead.”
Su Fan didn't speak.
He looked at the heart in his hand, and it beat in his palm like a real heart.
He handed his heart to Pangu.
"Senior, please swallow. The primordial world needs you."
Pangu took the heart and looked at it.
His heart shone in his palm, and the light shone on his face, turning it blue.
"I have swallowed a heart, and now I can fight Jormungandr. But I can only fight him once. After that, I will die."
Su Fan said, "Once is enough."
Pangu put his heart into his mouth.
As his heart entered his throat, his body began to change.
The body, which had been as thin as a twig, began to swell up, muscles grew from the bones, and skin grew from the muscles.
Gray hair turned black, wrinkles disappeared, and the skin on his face changed from gray to blue.
His eyes lit up; his blue eyes were full of light.
He stood up from the ground, and the iron chain broke off from the stone wall and shattered into powder.
He flexed his fingers, and the bones cracked.
His aura rose from the peak of the eighth level of the Dao Realm to the ninth level, then to the middle stage of the ninth level, and finally to the peak of the ninth level.
Pangu looked down at Su Fan.
"I will wait for it in the Chaos. You wait at the Southern Heavenly Gate. When it comes, I will fight it. If I kill it, the Primordial World will come back to life. If I cannot kill it, you can continue fighting."
Su Fan nodded.
Pangu turned around and walked towards the mountaintop.
He took three steps and his body grew larger.
The first step was reaching the clouds overhead.
The second step was to push the clouds aside with my shoulders.
The third step is to place your waist above the clouds, your feet on the ground, with the clouds floating around your waist.
He continued walking, each step covering dozens of miles, the earth trembling beneath his feet.
He walked further and further away, his body growing larger and larger until he became a blue dot and disappeared into the horizon.
Su Fan stood halfway up the mountain, looking in the direction where Pangu had disappeared, and stood there for a long time.
Sun Wukong stood beside him, also looking in that direction.
"Could Pangu defeat that snake?"
Su Fan said, "I don't know."
He turned and went down the mountain.
Back at the South Heavenly Gate, Thor was still standing on the city wall.
He looked at Su Fan.
"Where is Pangu?"
Su Fan said, "They went into the Chaos."
Thor hoisted the hammer onto his shoulder.
"I will wait three days. After three days, whether or not Jormungandr comes, I will leave."
Su Fan didn't speak.
He walked to the city wall, sat down, and looked at the sky.
The sky was blue, a very clean blue.
In the deepest part of the blue, there is a point.
It's not gold, not silver, not white, not red; it's gray.
It was as gray as chaos.
Jormungandr was watching him.
