Chapter 1622: The Wheel of Destiny Turn III

"Interesting," Hundunxi smiled with a playful look. "You reminded me of my brother, Hongjun, who was quite cunning. He was the first to notice something was wrong with Pangu." Hundunxi’s smile suddenly faded, drastically increasing the tension.

"I never liked Hongjun — he was too smart for his own good. Not to mention how he had the demeanor that he always knew everything, or the way he spoke in riddles."

Lin Fan steadied himself while staring at this primordial entity; he did not flinch nor show an ounce of fear — he simply waited. Then, Hundunxi suddenly laughed.

"You’re an interesting race. Well, I might as well tell you since our fate is now fundamentally linked," the Primordial Chaos Demon God uttered. He raised his head slightly to look at something in the distance. "Yes, Grand Dao locked us up because of something I did. As for exactly what I did? You don’t need to know."

Lin Fan frowned. "Fundamentally Linked?" These specific words were raising alarms in his mind.

Hundunxi gazed at him and sighed deeply. "It took me a long time to find a way to escape that prison. Your existence was the culmination of millions of people with a profound affinity with chaos and our kind. Each time they died, someone else inherited their power until the perfect vessel capable of releasing it was born.

"Then, imagine my surprise when I realized that our mother planned to release us after ensuring we had been properly ’reformed.’ The worst part is that she planned to do it through my vessel. That’s when I knew I needed to make a change. So, while she was secretly controlling the time it took to complete the vessel, I slowly transformed it into the perfect hiding place. The last thing I wanted was for her to discover me after the escape.

"So, yes, we are fundamentally linked together."

"You do want to take over my body!" Lin Fan suddenly blurted out.

Hundunxi looked at him with disdain. "Would you take over an ant’s body even if you were desperate?"

"Humans are not ants."

"Not from my perspective," Hundunxi rebutted. "Well, maybe not ant. After all, you are indeed an interesting and unique race. Born with a Dao Shape, and with great creativity and potential. However, it doesn’t change the fact that you are born so fragile."

"We might be born small and weak, but we can grow to any height. If humans can cultivate their bodies to be on par with Fiendgods, we can do the same for Chaos Demon Gods."

"I’ll pretend you didn’t say such blasphemous words," Hundunxi waved his hand. "But even if that were true, how long would that take, hmm? Instead of limiting myself to your human flesh, why wouldn’t I just rebuild my own original body?"

"Is that what you want? For me to help you rebuild your body and regain your former strength?"

"Among other things, but yes,"

"Like what?"

"I haven’t decided yet," Hundunxi replied. He had just escaped the prison and barely understood the Chaos Universe’s situation, so it was unwise of him to start planning his next move.

"Now, do we have an understanding?"

"One more thing."

"Are you sure?" Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat as a chill ran down his spine.

"I am."

"Go ahead."

"I want your words, on your pride in your race and as the first life in the universe, that no matter what happens to me, you will not lay a single finger on my family."

"Familial love — what a great emotion. I miss having it," Hundunxi sighed. "I can’t make this progress since I need something to keep you in check. However, you can choose between your master, wife, and fellow disciples. Pick one, and I promised not to lay a single finger on them."

Lin Fan clenched his fist for a few seconds before relaxing it. "I choose my wife."

"Is this the emotion called love that my sister Desire often talked about?" Hundunxi shook his head. "Such an emotion designed for breeding is truly pointless and a major weakness."

"Do I have your words?"

"Yes, human, you have my words."

"Good." Lin Fan exhaled deeply.

"...Why are you still here?"

Lin Fan’s lips twitched. "You saw that I was tasked to track your brothers and sisters. Don’t you have anything to say?"

"Why would I?"

"I see."

"Anything else? Your presence is starting to irk me."

"The war is coming, and I need strength."
