I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1365 The Worries of the Primordial Powerhouses
Chapter 1345 The Worries of the Primordial Powerhouses
"I knew things wouldn't be that simple. The so-called Dao Transformation still requires resources and accumulation. My preparations were insufficient, and I lost a tremendous opportunity. If I had enough resources to evolve and transform myself, perhaps I would be much stronger now!" After understanding his situation, Xiao Sheng murmured to himself. He was somewhat unwilling but had no way to change it. After all, everything had already happened, and he had no control over it.
In truth, under the great calamity of heaven and earth, let alone Xiao Sheng, even Chaos Gods and Demons like Shi Chen and Yang Mei would not have enough resources. Even though there are countless Chaos Beasts in the Chaos, their existence is for the destruction of everything; they are the henchmen of the Great Dao, not nourishment for these beings. It is impossible to hunt Chaos Beasts endlessly without suffering the backlash of the Great Dao. The current accumulation is already very good for Xiao Sheng. It is only because he and the Dark King were willing to risk their lives in the Chaos that they have accumulated so much to support their own transformation into the Dao and to allow the world to merge.

Xiao Sheng's current ambition to use this opportunity to help the Dark King, the Ten Directions Daoist, and the Longevity Child complete their transformations and evolutions simultaneously is nothing but wishful thinking. Under such a cataclysmic event, if these three were to complete their transformations together, Xiao Sheng's strength would not be what it is now; it would directly achieve a qualitative leap, making him comparable to the Great God Pangu. Could he possibly accumulate such power? The Great God Pangu accumulated countless years in the primordial world, something Xiao Sheng could never compare to.

In short, Xiao Sheng's cultivation time was still too short. He didn't have enough time to accumulate more resources, let alone seize the opportunity to soar to the sky during this great calamity. Even if the opportunity really came, could his preparations and restrictions shield him from the changes in the celestial phenomena caused by his own transformation and evolution at the moment of his breakthrough?
Impossible. If it really comes to that, all the backup plans Xiao Sheng had laid out would be utterly useless and would be torn apart by the power generated by the transformation. He would be directly exposed to a group of powerful figures, or even directly targeted by the Great Dao, since the Great Dao has not completely let him, this 'enemy', go!
If things come to this, not only will Xiao Sheng himself be in danger, but even Changshengzi, the Dark King, and Shifang Daoren will be in danger, completely exposed to the enemy. This will be a devastating disaster for them, and death will be the inevitable result!

After a soft sigh, Xiao Sheng quickly composed himself. Although he felt a little unwilling, he knew this was not the time to complain. If he wasted his energy on this, he would only narrow his path and ultimately meet a tragic end. It was precisely at times like these that he needed to be magnanimous and avoid being petty. Otherwise, the negative forces within him would drag him step by step into a dead end.

"I wonder what the situation is like outside, and what the current state of the Primordial World is!" After calming himself down, Xiao Sheng thought about the current situation of the Primordial World. He was worried that the situation in the Primordial World might exceed his imagination, and that the current Primordial World would make his survival even more difficult. After this transformation into the Dao, Xiao Sheng was very clear that the existence of the Great God Pangu was not necessarily beneficial to the Primordial World. His return would make the Great Dao keep its eyes fixed on the Primordial World, and when the Great Dao made its move, the entire Primordial World would be a disaster.

While stabilizing his mind and using the backup plan he left in the prehistoric world to sense the changes in the world, Xiao Sheng quickly discovered the battlefield of the God of Cause and Effect and felt the power of spatial sealing. Seeing such a great battle and that familiar aura, Xiao Sheng frowned and sighed inwardly at that familiar aura!

"Is this the opportunity nurtured by the primordial world? Is this the 'Heart of the Great Dao' that the chaotic gods and demons have always wanted? But why do I feel that it is not the 'Heart of the Great Dao', but the Great Dao itself, a condensed version of the Great Dao!" As someone who had fought against the Great Dao, Xiao Sheng immediately became suspicious when he felt that familiar power.

Is the Great Dao Heart truly nurtured in the primordial world, or is it not the Great Dao itself? From that familiar aura, Xiao Sheng was certain that this was the mysterious power he had sensed during his enlightenment. However, this mysterious power now possessed a weakened Great Dao aura, which shocked Xiao Sheng. How could this not shock him? How long had it been? This mysterious power had already undergone such a change. If it wasn't the 'Great Dao Heart,' an opportunity nurtured in the primordial world, Xiao Sheng would not believe it!

Just as Xiao Sheng was sighing, he was unaware that when he returned after transforming into a Daoist and when he used his divine sense to scan the prehistoric world, that trace of his aura had already revealed his return and attracted the attention of some people.

"It's the aura of the Great Dao of Life, but this Great Dao of Life has undergone a new evolution. It's Xiao Sheng who has broken free from the Dao of Transformation. It seems he has truly taken the first step. This guy has forged his own new path and taken another important step in his comprehension of the Great Dao of Life!" Upon sensing that familiar yet unfamiliar aura, the God of Destiny immediately confirmed that it was Xiao Sheng's aura and understood that Xiao Sheng had returned from the Dao of Transformation!

"Yes, it's Xiao Sheng who's returned. It seems the primordial world is about to undergo another upheaval. So, are you going to take action against Xiao Sheng, or ignore his return?" Hongjun Daozu, who also sensed Xiao Sheng's presence, asked the God of Destiny, though he secretly hoped the God of Destiny would take action against Xiao Sheng, trap him, or even wage a great battle to test Xiao Sheng's current strength!
“Hongjun, you also sensed Xiao Sheng’s aura. It seems this guy has no intention of concealing himself. Otherwise, we would have had a hard time sensing his presence. After all, this guy has taken another step forward in his understanding of life. I don’t believe this madman doesn’t have enough power to conceal himself. He dares to do this because he’s probably plotting against us again. If you’re willing to test his strength, then go ahead. I won’t act rashly again. I have no intention of making an enemy of this madman, Xiao Sheng!”

The Fate God and Demon directly gave up their scheme against Xiao Sheng. After all, in this great calamity of heaven and earth, even the slightest carelessness could cost one's life, and it was not worth risking one's life.

"Yes, I also sensed Xiao Sheng's aura, but I didn't expect this guy to be so insidious. He dares to be so arrogant even in this great calamity, not taking us seriously at all. It seems that this guy's strength is truly immense, otherwise, given this bastard's character, he wouldn't have made things so obvious!"

Although Hongjun Daozu was deeply dissatisfied with everything, he didn't want to be used as a tool by the gods and demons of fate. He didn't want to be a pawn in someone else's game, especially during this great calamity. Actively entering the fray at this time would be risking his life. Xiao Sheng dared to do that, but he didn't have the courage or confidence to do so! For Hongjun Daozu, observing the situation was the best option. He wouldn't be foolish enough to be a pawn in someone else's game. Even if Xiao Sheng's understanding of the Great Dao of Life had advanced further, or even if Xiao Sheng's strength hadn't changed, he wouldn't easily make a move. After all, this wasn't just a confrontation with Xiao Sheng; he also had to face the schemes of other enemies. There were many powerful beings at the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level in the current prehistoric world, and these individuals all harbored grudges against him. Under such circumstances, rashly exposing himself would be playing with his life!

"Don't you think this is Xiao Sheng's provocation against us, or even against everyone? He couldn't possibly not know that the prehistoric world is currently in the midst of a great calamity, and how serious the consequences of his actions would be, yet he still did it. I think there's a conspiracy involved, or perhaps he even wants to use this insidious scheme to wipe us all out!"

“It is indeed possible, but even if we knew, it wouldn’t matter. This madman is using an open scheme. Even if we could see through everything, we couldn’t stop his calculations unless we were willing to risk our lives. But do you think that’s possible? Or are you willing to face such danger?”

"How could I willingly face such terrifying danger? Knowing it's a trap, why would I willingly jump into it? Do you think I'm a fool? Let that madman Xiao Sheng scheme as he pleases. We just need to remain unchanged and deal with all changes as they may. No matter how things change, we can just pretend we know nothing!"

That's true, but not everyone can do it. Don't be fooled by how readily Hongjun Daozu and the God of Destiny spoke, saying they didn't want to get involved. But is that really what they think? Only they know. If a huge benefit were to appear, those two might change their minds in an instant!

Both Hongjun Daozu and the God of Destiny Demon did not expose each other's schemes. They were both patient and wanted to see who would have the last laugh. Therefore, they would not easily break off relations and become mortal enemies. They were both waiting for a new opportunity, or even a shocking opportunity, to appear!

Just as the God of Destiny and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun tacitly ceased their discussion of Xiao Sheng, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and his group of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals also sensed Xiao Sheng's return. Even the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Two Western Saints, and the Goddess Nuwa felt Xiao Sheng's return. This sudden change shocked them all. They had all witnessed Xiao Sheng's Dao Transformation, but his return despite such a frenzied act forced them to re-evaluate his strength and Dao Transformation. Clearly, Xiao Sheng had successfully transformed his Dao and made further progress in his understanding of the Great Dao of Life. This stirred their hearts, as Xiao Sheng's own cultivation of the Great Dao of Life had not changed, only advanced further, and he had completed this transformation and evolution in such a short time. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Upon seeing Xiao Sheng's return, with his strength improved and his own Dao showing significant progress, everyone wanted to learn the answer to this question from him. However, achieving all this was no easy task, and even the slightest carelessness could cost them their lives. This was not just ordinary evolution; it was a qualitative leap!
"Perhaps this method of transformation is indeed feasible. There's no reason why Xiao Sheng, a mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal, can't achieve it. Xiao Sheng has his own foundation, and I also have powerful accumulations. As long as we take this crucial step, our cultivation will undergo a qualitative transformation!" In an instant, countless madmen in the prehistoric world had such ridiculous thoughts. In cultivation, courage is nothing special; being able to laugh last is the best outcome, and that's not something everyone can do!
Sighs echoed throughout the primordial world, the voices of the Great Luo Golden Immortals of Hunyuan. They were all marveling at how sudden this upheaval had come, shocked by Xiao Sheng's talk of the Dao. Yet, they were powerless to do anything about it, as everything was beyond their control. Even after Xiao Sheng successfully achieved Dao transformation, when they had their own thoughts, a faint sense of unease appeared. However, these fellows were blinded by greed!
Just as those guys were all filled with greed and focused their attention on the aura he had deliberately left behind, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sneer repeatedly, saying disdainfully, "As expected, you're all a bunch of greedy bastards. Even knowing I had a scheme, you still willingly jumped into the trap. I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending. I never knew you could be this foolish!"

The more Xiao Sheng understood his enemies' schemes, the more he despised them. What use were their schemes if they had so many? In the face of absolute power, all their schemes would be in vain. In the face of absolute strength, all their laughable schemes were utterly ineffective. Strength was the fundamental force that determined everything!

Yes, strength is the foundation of everything, but in today's world, who can do all of that? In many cases, you yourself don't even have it, yet those ridiculous schemers keep saying they want what's best for you and want you to share in the benefits!

If the benefits were so easy to share, Xiao Sheng wouldn't be in this state, and everyone wouldn't have been driven to the brink of despair step by step. Although the situation in the prehistoric world hasn't reached the point of being out of control yet, this sudden change has put immense pressure on everyone. At this time, lowering one's guard is the best outcome. If they insist on forcing themselves to persevere, they will face certain death. After all, this is not a matter of one person's life.
