I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1366 Each other’s calculations

Chapter 1346 Mutual Schemes
Xiao Sheng's scheme targeted those greedy individuals. What he wanted was simple: their very essence. If he could devour the essence of these enemies, it would be a considerable gain for himself. When the situation in the primordial world had reached this point, devouring the essence of enemies and turning it into nourishment was the best approach. Relying on cultivating bit by bit was tantamount to courting destruction; plunder was the best choice amidst the great calamity of heaven and earth!

Although Xiao Sheng's plan was good, he underestimated the character of those guys. Would those who have survived this long be completely lacking in self-control? Even if this is a great calamity of heaven and earth, and the erosion of calamity energy will cause many people to lose their minds, those Chaos Primordial Golden Immortals are not completely unprepared. Whether they are those Primordial Golden Immortals who have cultivated from Chaos Beasts or those who have been born from Chaos Gods and Demons, they have long been prepared for this great calamity of heaven and earth.

Compared to those guys, Xiao Sheng's preparation was still somewhat lacking. Xiao Sheng was just making adjustments to himself one after another against these Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals, but these guys had been prepared for a long time. Their mental defenses were much stronger than Xiao Sheng's. Even when affected by the heaven and earth calamity energy, these guys still used many methods to keep their minds from being controlled by the heaven and earth calamity energy and to prevent themselves from stepping into a desperate situation!

"That damned bastard Xiao Sheng! He's trying to use himself as bait to lure us into a dead end! This bastard is despicable! He's blatantly provoking us!" Faced with Xiao Sheng's temptation, some people couldn't help but curse. After all, they had already been affected by the great calamity of heaven and earth and had barely managed to keep their minds intact. But now, Xiao Sheng was deliberately tempting them. This double blow naturally caused many people great pain, and naturally, they hated Xiao Sheng to the bone!

These Grand Luo Golden Immortals, who had been preparing for a long time, had a simple goal: the opportunity nurtured by the primordial world—the 'Heart of the Great Dao'. However, they also had other schemes. After all, there was only one 'Heart of the Great Dao', so their second-best idea was to plunder the origins of others so that they could survive to the end in this great calamity. Xiao Sheng was now offering such a temptation, trying to drag them into the game. How could this not infuriate them?

Those who can cultivate to the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal are not fools. They all know that if they get involved in the great battle now and are tempted by Xiao Sheng, they will have no chance to turn the tide. Don't be fooled by the fact that the 'Heart of the Great Dao' has appeared and is right before their eyes. Smart people know that this is not the time to act. After all, what they see may not be the truth; it may be a trap or a conspiracy. Without truly confirming everything, these guys will not act rashly.

Those foolish and greedy individuals have already made their moves and are now entangled in the scheme. Even the God of Cause and Effect is caught in it. However, the reason the God of Cause and Effect is caught in the scheme is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Intelligent people have already seen that there is a conspiracy behind his entrapment, or that he has been influenced by external forces. Of course, there is also the possibility that this is a trap deliberately set by the God of Cause and Effect. Before the final moment when it erupts, no one dares to say that they have seen through everything. Perhaps the God of Cause and Effect will undergo new changes and make other moves in the next moment.

Although the great battle on the battlefield continued, and everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, a wise person would not think that way. Only a fool would believe that the situation on the battlefield was irreversible and that the God and Demon of Karma were in dire straits. Not to mention beings like the God and Demon of Karma, no one dared to underestimate them, not even other Grand Luo Golden Immortals. After all, no one knew if these guys had any other trump cards. The slightest carelessness could cost them their lives and plunge them into an abyss of no return. In the minds of these guys, anything was possible in the face of a great calamity!
Yes, this is a great calamity of heaven and earth. Anything is possible in the midst of a great calamity. After all, those chaotic gods and demons have long been prepared, and they have been planning since the moment the primordial world was not even born. As for the Primordial Golden Immortals who have cultivated from chaotic beasts, their strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, the fact that they were able to give up their identity as chaotic beasts is enough to prove that they have also been prepared and planned. If you really believe that these guys are in a desperate situation, then you are also courting your own destruction!
Don't be fooled by Xiao Sheng's current relaxed and carefree demeanor. He understands that in this environment, he cannot afford to be careless. Even the slightest mistake could cost him his life. Although he has undergone a transformation and evolution through the Dao Transformation, it doesn't mean he is stronger than those Chaos Gods and Demons. Xiao Sheng dares not be arrogant in the slightest, for any mishap would be a disaster for him!
It's impossible to say that he would disregard life and death. Xiao Sheng doesn't have such crazy ideas, nor can he do that. So, although he is making plans now, he is not risking his own life. Instead, he has seen through the true nature of those people. Hoping that these guys would attack him under these circumstances is almost unrealistic. Xiao Sheng just still has a sliver of hope in his heart, wanting to see if he can lure out a few fools. Obviously, he has failed!

"I was overthinking it. If there were so many fools in the prehistoric world, things wouldn't be like this now. The great war would have ended long ago. It couldn't have lasted this long. It seems there's a conspiracy on the battlefield where the God of Cause and Effect is located!" After waiting for a long time without the situation he expected happening, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly and completely gave up. There was no point in continuing. If those guys were just fools, they would have made their move long ago. It was obvious that there were already many fools in the prehistoric world.

Just as Xiao Sheng had expected, while he was scheming against others and using himself as bait to set up his scheme, those who had ideas and were affected did not jump out. It wasn't that they didn't have greedy thoughts, but at the crucial moment, the backup plans they had originally prepared were activated, making them wake up from their greed and preventing them from running headlong into the trap that Xiao Sheng had carefully prepared for them!
"Damn Xiao Sheng, that bastard ruined my big plan and made me lose a trump card!" Those guys who had activated their trump cards were all cursing Xiao Sheng, but what good was their cursing? One of their trump cards had been lost, and it hadn't even played a significant role, because Xiao Sheng's scheme had prematurely activated their trump card. How could they not be furious? Unfortunately, no matter how angry they were, it was too late; everything had already happened!
"Yes, that bastard deserves to die! To dare to scheme like this at a time like this, he's determined to fight us to the death!"

Just as those who had been tricked were angrily cursing Xiao Sheng for being shameless, a deep voice rang out: "Enough, shut up! If you have the guts, then fight back directly. But do you dare? Do you think the situation is that simple? Do you really think Xiao Sheng is only capable of this much? And don't forget the battle with the God of Cause and Effect. Don't you think all of this is too similar? It wasn't just Xiao Sheng who tricked us, but also those bastards from the God of Cause and Effect. With their strength, if there hadn't been other schemes, this battle should have ended long ago, but it hasn't ended!"

Yes, with the strength of these Grand Luo Golden Immortals, if they went all out, even the sealing power would be useless; they would have been blown apart long ago. But that didn't happen. How could a smart person not see through this? Now Xiao Sheng is also using such methods. How could those with ideas and schemes turn a blind eye to this?
"These bastards are all bad people, plotting against us honest folks. And these guys have absolutely no bottom line; they'll use such insidious and vicious methods to scheme against us. We're really unlucky to encounter them in this great calamity. We want to fight back, but we can't!" Ha! That sounds nice, but it's ridiculous. If this guy really wanted to fight back, wouldn't he be able to? It's not that he couldn't, but that he didn't want to. He also had the idea of ​​using this opportunity to scheme against others. If he could use this opportunity to get rid of his other 'comrades,' that would be a good thing, reducing one of his competitors. And there are quite a few guys with this crazy idea; this is their true thought, and the true situation!
At this moment, this guy said these words to lure people into the game, to escalate the conflict, and ideally to start a fight directly, so that the current situation would spiral out of control, or even cause those 'comrades' to fall in this great battle, thus reducing his opponent. Unfortunately, although his words sounded very appealing, no one accepted them.

"What an insidious and vicious trap! It's clearly designed to lure us in. Using ourselves as bait is utterly insane. I believe no one is foolish enough not to see through this guy's scheme. I know some of you may have inappropriate thoughts, but I want to tell you all that we can't be selfish at this time. We need to unite to deal with this life-or-death crisis. I don't know what you all think, but in my opinion, Xiao Sheng and that bastard Karma God and Demon are both bad people, and they're both after us. Unless we have absolute certainty, I hope everyone can remain calm and not give these two guys the chance to put us in danger!"

Goodness, I have to admit there are a lot of clever people. Seeing this situation, their little schemes are all racing, and they're all plotting against the enemy. It's impossible to expect those selfish people to be righteous; all they care about is themselves and their wealth!

Although many people understand and are aware of this, when it really comes to this point, almost no one is willing to step forward. They all want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. But in such an environment, what opportunities are there to talk about? The more people understand how dangerous the current situation is, the less willing they are to stand up and take on everything!
"What is Xiao Sheng trying to do? It's been so long, and he's still so easily alarmed by the slightest thing. Could it be that he has other ideas?" The more people see Xiao Sheng as carefree as ever, and the more they see his overt methods being watched, the more they realize that this is not a good thing in this environment!

"Impossible. Xiao Sheng couldn't possibly have remained so calm all this time, and he couldn't possibly be unaware of all this. So why has he been able to hold out for so long? Does this guy have any other schemes? Under these circumstances, the pressure on us will be even greater, since we will have to bear pressure and changes that others don't have!"

"Perhaps we can incite others to test Xiao Sheng's strength. After all, we have more power. If we make careful arrangements, things might turn out differently. We might be able to kill Xiao Sheng and seize his essence. Don't you want to obtain the life Dao essence power of transformation and evolution?"

These words quickly stirred the interest of some people. Faced with Xiao Sheng's transformation and evolution, and the life Dao origin of that transformation, who wouldn't be tempted? However, being tempted didn't mean they would make a move immediately. They weren't fools, and they understood that they should be cautious at this time and not risk their lives because of momentary arrogance!

Silence fell. For a moment, all of them were silent, calculating in their minds whether they could get what they wanted if they made a move. After all, they all understood how dangerous the current situation was. If they made even the slightest mistake, they would be in dire straits. It was precisely because many people understood this that the current situation had occurred.

Human greed is insatiable; as long as the temptation exists and continues to grow, anything is possible without reminders from others. However, it is clear that things have not yet reached their worst point. Perhaps everyone is waiting for the best opportunity to appear, to bring everything back to peace, and for everything to dissipate.

Don't be fooled by these guys' seemingly honest words; their true thoughts are not genuine and are calculated. So when silence falls, that's when they're in their most awkward situation. They never imagined that things weren't as simple as they thought, and that their schemes were about to fail!
