The chaos knows no time, and what seems like mere moments spans over hundreds of epochs.
In the midst of this boundless void, a chaotic egg, stretching several trillion kilometers in diameter, pulsates as though it is breathing. With each breath, it births a gargantuan vortex of chaos, stirring winds and clouds whose reach cannot be measured.
Within this colossal egg, two energies—Yin and Yang—seem to stir, as if chaos itself was divided, and from this separation, the heavens and earth were born. The Yin and Yang Tai Chi millstone begins to form.
This immense Yin & Yang Tai Chi grinding wheel contains the flowing air of black and white energies. These two forces—black and white—encompass all things, embodying the ceaseless shifts between Yin and Yang, constantly in motion.
A closer inspection reveals a deeper layer. From the inner depths of this sphere, the Eight Trigrams millstones emerge.
The Eight Trigrams millstone is etched with densely packed lines of laws, containing three thousand laws, intertwined like a spider's web. It is divided into the Yang Eight Trigrams: Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui, and the Yin Eight Trigrams: rest, life, injury, obstruct, scene, death, shock, and open.
In later times, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Ren set up the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation in Xinye. In truth, this formation was based on the Yin Eight Trigrams, concealing profound mysteries.

At this moment, the chaotic egg, dormant for hundreds of epochs, began to stir. The massive Eight Trigrams millstone began spinning, its innumerable law lines whirling as they reflected endless transformations. These changes mirror the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—and the cycles of birth, aging, sickness, and death, alongside the mysteries of the sun's movement, the moon's cycle, and the creation of the universe.
Every law and principle in the universe seems to manifest within the Eight Trigrams wheel.
Boom!
In an instant, Gu Chuan, who had been asleep within the chaotic egg, finally awoke. His eyes opened, revealing a pair that carried the weight of countless epochs—the history of the seasons, and an understanding of the principles governing all things.
When gazed into, these eyes seemed to unravel the mysteries of the world, exposing the ultimate truths.
From the depths of his pupils, chaotic light burst forth, shattering the chaotic egg around him. The cracking sound echoed as rays of light pierced through the egg in a cascade of shattering energy.
From Gu Chuan's body as the center, boundless chaotic airflow surged, freely pouring into his limbs and bones, flooding every cell of his primordial ancient serpent form.
The magical power radiating from him surged at a visible rate, expanding exponentially.
Yet, the rise in magical power was not the most crucial aspect. What mattered more was that the Eight Trigrams millstone, formed by the Yin & Yang law, began to manifest as Yin & Yang, spiraling into the very depths of his consciousness.
In an instant, within the depths of Gu Chuan's sea of consciousness, the Yin & Yang energy condensed into a chaotic rune. This rune was the embodiment of Yin & Yang Tai Chi—the rotation of the Eight Trigrams millstone and the countless law lines within it spiraled ceaselessly.
The rune appeared as a sphere, black and white, constantly turning, like a planet spinning at the core of Gu Chuan's mind. Each revolution caused the Yin & Yang Eight Trigrams rune to shimmer in infinite transformations, illustrating the ultimate truth of chaos.
"It finally worked."
Gu Chuan's eyes gleamed with joy. After hundreds of epochs of secluded cultivation, he had finally comprehended the Yin & Yang law that had been bestowed upon him by the Dark Spider Demon.
The Yin & Yang rune, formed deep in his consciousness, was the crystallization of his effort. It represented the supreme essence of Tai Chi and the Eight Trigrams.
"Is this the law of Yin & Yang, the power of the Chaos Eight Trigrams?"
Gu Chuan's mind delved deep into the Yin & Yang rune he had spent centuries perfecting, and his eyes widened in shock.
To comprehend the power of the Yin & Yang law meant that not only had he mastered the Yin and Yang energies, but more importantly, he had unlocked their infinite magical potentials.
He had successfully condensed the Chaos Eight Trigrams Rune, granting him the power to deduce the Heavenly Dao and predict the future.
If the eye of all things allowed Gu Chuan to understand the mysteries of the world and grasp the root of all things, then the Yin & Yang rune endowed him with the ability to deduce and foresee the future.
This ability was incredibly potent. For example, by analyzing minor clues, it allowed him to predict future events, identify the location of enemies and allies, and avert danger before it struck.
Beyond simply predicting the future, this rune also enabled him to decode the mysteries of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, the laws of chaos, and the interpretation of various magical powers, all while gaining a deeper understanding of these forces.
In essence, his understanding and capacity for calculation had grown exponentially.
If one were to use a metaphor, the Chaos Eight Trigrams was like a supercomputer—an optical brain capable of processing billions of trillions of calculations in a single second, able to predict the world's endless changes.
The principle behind the Chaos Eight Trigrams was not unlike that of computers. The core of a computer relies on 0s and 1s. Every piece of data can be represented as 0s and 1s, forming the basis of modern communication.
In the same way, the foundation of the Chaos Eight Trigrams lies in Yin and Yang. All things in the universe can be expressed through Yin and Yang, and their interchanging and evolving nature represents the development and changes of all things.
In fact, some scientists, many ages later, used the Eight Trigrams to explain computers, with Yin and Yang simulating and predicting the development of intelligent computers.
The truth of this world follows the same principles.
