I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1374 Heartbeat
Chapter 1354 Heartbeat

What should we do now? Many people are pondering this question, but they can't find a solution. They can only take it one step at a time. After all, the Great Dao hasn't made its move yet, and even the Great God Pangu hasn't intervened to stop it from happening. This has given some people a faint sense of hope!

When those Grand Luo Golden Immortals harbored murderous intent towards the God of Cause and Effect, they forgot one crucial thing: the moment murderous intent arose, karma was created, and the karmic ties between them and the God of Cause and Effect became even heavier. Previously, they had only used avatars to scheme against the God of Cause and Effect; even if they failed, it wouldn't be easy for the God of Cause and Effect to retaliate using the power of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. Doing so would require the God of Cause and Effect to pay a considerable price. But now, with their murderous intent, everything has changed!
"Such insane killing intent! It seems I underestimated their greed and ruthlessness. I thought they were still holding back, but now it seems they can no longer be allowed to live. Even if it costs me some money, I must eliminate them. Otherwise, when the final battle arrives, I will be in danger, and these guys will surround and kill me immediately!" It wasn't that the God of Cause and Effect was too cautious, but in the midst of the great calamity of heaven and earth, he had no choice but to do this, otherwise his life would be in danger.

Under the great calamity, karma must be settled. Even if he did not seek out these enemies, the Primordial Golden Immortals who harbored murderous intent towards him would not show mercy. After all, once the murderous intent arises, neither side has a way out. This is a great calamity of heaven and earth. Once karma is condensed, it can only end when one side falls. Therefore, after escaping, the God and Demon of Karma also felt endless killing intent in their hearts!
Of course, the God of Cause and Effect wasn't stupid. He naturally understood why these guys dared to be so arrogant. Knowing that he cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, they still dared to have murderous intentions towards him. To put it bluntly, they were scheming against him and wanted to use the power of cause and effect to lock his coordinates. These guys were determined to fight him to the death.

Although this was merely the God of Cause and Effect's own speculation, it was the most likely explanation. Given the current extraordinary circumstances of the Great Calamity, the God of Cause and Effect would show no mercy or compassion. Since these Grand Luo Golden Immortals harbored ill intentions towards him, this battle was inevitable. However, the God of Cause and Effect also needed to be prepared and dared not be careless in the slightest. After all, once the will to kill was set in, it would be a fight to the death. Even if he were to fight, he could not put himself in danger!
As the mindset of the God of Cause and Effect changed, under the influence of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, he quickly learned the identities of these enemies. This led him to sneer repeatedly: "What a treacherous and vicious fellow! Those who harbor murderous intent are indeed my 'good companions.' It's truly unexpected that those born from chaotic beasts lacked murderous intent, while these guys all possess such insane killing intent. Even Xiao Sheng didn't harbor any murderous thoughts towards me. It seems I overestimated their patience; they are even more greedy and insane than I imagined!"

At this moment, the God of Cause and Effect was also filled with anger. If any enemy other than the Chaos God and Demon had the intention to kill him, the God of Cause and Effect could find a reason to convince himself. However, reality did not exist. Even Xiao Sheng, who directly charged into the battlefield, did not have such killing intent, nor did he even have the 'Heart of the Great Dao'. Those who had the intention to kill him were all his former 'good companions'!
"Fine, since these guys have already decided to kill me, don't blame me for being ruthless. I can't make a move now; I need to prepare my escape route. Either I won't make a move at all, or when I do, I must kill them outright, leaving them no chance to survive!" It's no wonder that the God of Cause and Effect has such killing intent. All of this is what those greedy guys brought upon themselves. If they hadn't insisted on killing, none of this would have happened. It can only be said that in the midst of a great calamity, once the killing intent is stirred, it's a fight to the death!
"Huh, there's an unknown force plotting against me, but unfortunately, I can't pinpoint its location amidst this great calamity!" When the God of Cause and Effect also tried to find Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng immediately sensed it. Unfortunately, the karmic connection between them wasn't strong enough for the God of Cause and Effect to pinpoint its location, so Xiao Sheng only sensed the power but couldn't identify it.

Before he could pinpoint the enemy's identity, Xiao Sheng sighed again: "This is the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth. Everything is shrouded in calamity energy. It seems I need to be more cautious. Although this battle has yielded considerable gains, it has also exposed part of my own strength. In fact, I may even be targeted by those with ulterior motives!"

Although Xiao Sheng was prepared for this situation, it did not mean that he could ignore it. No matter how much preparation one has during a great calamity, it cannot guarantee one's safety. Otherwise, the God of Cause and Effect would not have provided an escape route for him. Similarly, Xiao Sheng was not going to be careless before he had made full preparations.

Even Xiao Sheng dared not be careless under such a calamity. At this moment, he was also reflecting on himself, wondering why he had entered the battlefield with such confidence, only to find the result unsatisfactory and far from his expectations. Was this a problem with himself? Was he too arrogant, or was the great calamity affecting his mind?

It's understandable that Xiao Sheng had such thoughts. After all, this was a great calamity, and in such a time, Xiao Sheng had to be extremely cautious and dared not be negligent in the slightest. Under such circumstances, even the slightest mistake could cost him his life. The more critical the moment, the more careful and meticulous he had to be, and the less room there was for carelessness.

This time, Xiao Sheng understood that even though he had escaped the attention of most people, he was still within Pangu's perception, and even within the perception of the primordial world's original will, which was formed from Pangu's obsession. After all, their control over the primordial world was too powerful. If possible, Xiao Sheng was even worried about Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and that God of Destiny. If Shi Chen and Yang Mei hadn't failed to descend upon the primordial world, Xiao Sheng would also have worried about being targeted by those two.

Under the great calamity, Xiao Sheng also needed to be cautious, fearing that a moment of carelessness would put him in danger. Moreover, he dared not entrust his life to others. If he could reveal all his power, he would have been willing to cut off his own energy again, so as not to give Pangu the opportunity to know his whereabouts.

Everything in excess is as bad as deficiency, especially in the current prehistoric world. Although Xiao Sheng had such thoughts in his heart, he eventually gave up. What he did was to tell Pangu and his obsession that he had the ability to cut off their detection, and that his actions would even change the Great Dao.

This is a great calamity for heaven and earth. The less you reveal your strength, the better. After all, the final battle will be decided by strength. The less you reveal your power, the greater your chance of survival. So even though there was a little excitement in his heart, he forcibly suppressed it and did not make any rash moves!
As Xiao Sheng's thoughts shifted, the powerful figures connected to him all felt a mental warning. However, this warning wave quickly disappeared, preventing them from immediately determining the source of the power. This situation alerted them, making them all vigilant. Some even suspected it might be the work of the Great Dao and Pangu; in their minds, only they could have accomplished such a feat!
Now that such a shocking change has occurred, the most embarrassed people in the prehistoric world are the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and Nuwa, who were once Heavenly Saints. Even though they now possess the combat power of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, this shocking change is a huge blow to them, and their minds have been greatly affected.

The Three Pure Ones were somewhat better off, at least their strength was undeniable. However, the Two Western Saints and Nuwa were more worried. Everything had happened so suddenly, and the environment of this primordial world had changed so rapidly, leaving them all somewhat bewildered and unsure of what to do. They were all concerned about the changing situation and their own safety. If only the Twelve Ancestral Witches had committed suicide, their pressure wouldn't have been so great. But with the sudden shift in the battlefield and the frenzied ending, they began to worry that the situation would spiral out of control and that their safety was at stake. They didn't possess the abilities of the Gods and Demons of Cause and Effect to withstand a combined attack from everyone.

Although the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and the Goddess Nuwa all had their doubts, they had no evidence to prove everything. Moreover, this was during a great calamity, and any wrong step would bring them boundless danger and plunge them into a desperate situation. After all, when the calamity began, all living beings were caught in it!
This series of shocking events made the two Western Saints' expressions extremely solemn. They were both shocked by the events and began to worry about their own safety, after all, they had both witnessed the great battle on the battlefield.

"Senior brother, what should we do? We originally thought that as long as we avoided those guys, we could protect ourselves. But judging from the current situation, we were overthinking it. Even if we don't want to get involved in this storm, those enemies won't give us that opportunity. They all have their own selfish motives and their own schemes. We need to prepare for the worst!" Zhunti sighed. If he could, he wouldn't want to face such danger, but everything was beyond his control. Once this great calamity of heaven and earth began, he couldn't escape it even if he wanted to!

"The idea of ​​waiting and seeing is no longer possible. We can no longer gamble with our lives. After all, anything is possible under such a calamity. It's not impossible for disaster to strike out of the sky while we're sitting at home. We need to prepare for the worst. We can't rely on others; we can only face everything ourselves!" Jieyin sighed as he spoke. If possible, he didn't want to come to this point either, but he had no other choice. If they dragged it out any longer, everything would be out of their control.

Yes, at this moment, the two Western Saints are already entangled in the calamity energy. It is impossible for them to break free from the influence of the calamity energy. Fortunately, their will is still clear, and their minds have not yet been truly affected by the calamity energy. If their minds have been corrupted, even if they have great power, they will not be able to escape the fate of death. At that time, no one can save them. After all, under the great calamity, they are all in the midst of the calamity.

At this point, anyone with a modicum of reason could understand that all living beings in the primordial world were currently embroiled in calamity. The weaker beings were unaware of it, but others had already noticed the problem. However, everyone tacitly refrained from leaking this information, not wanting to cause too much shock to the primordial world or plunge it into chaos. Human hearts are unpredictable; no one knew how the world would react to such news. Precisely because everything was unknown, no one dared to take such a risk.

Often, life and death hang in the balance, and a single thought can determine many things. Take Xiao Sheng, for example. If he had other ideas, he would have taken action, which would have brought about many changes to this great calamity. After all, his personal strength is also very powerful, enough to influence more people and more things!

"Yes, it's no longer possible to just wait and see. When all this changes, we'll already be in the thick of it. Even if we wanted to turn things around, we couldn't. All we can do now is prepare for the worst and hide ourselves even deeper, at least not to expose ourselves when this great battle breaks out!"

If they could, the two Western Saints would not want to face such danger, but they had no choice. They had a lot of karma on their hands, and now the situation in the prehistoric world had become so dangerous and strange that they had more thoughts in their hearts. Thinking too much naturally led to inappropriate greed!

"I'm afraid things won't go our way. This is a great calamity, and many people have already made their moves. It will be difficult for us to hide. I don't think we can escape the lock-on of Pangu and those powerful Primordial Golden Immortals. I don't think we can easily get rid of everything!"

"Yes, the current situation has plunged us into an absolute crisis. We simply don't have the ability to face danger. If we were on the battlefield, we would probably be dead long ago. We don't have the strength of these guys. In the final calamity, everything will be decided by strength. Without enough power, when the final calamity comes, all that awaits us is death. No one can save us. Under the circumstances, we have no chance of survival!"
