I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1386 Cause and Effect

Chapter 1366 Cause and Effect
When the situation in the primordial world developed to this extent, everything was out of control. It was impossible for the Great Dao of the Primordial World to control everything, nor was it possible for the Great Dao to grasp everything. Neither the God of Destiny nor the Dao Ancestor Hongjun could control everything. As the killing began, everything was changing. The weak died one after another, and the entire primordial world was filled with resentment. After all, not all living beings would be protected, and not all races and civilizations had strong people.

Even the human race is facing immense pressure at this moment, because there are too many humans. Even with powerful individuals, it's impossible to protect everyone. If this is the case for humans, one can only imagine the situation for other races and civilizations. However, the human race has powerful individuals who can slay those suppressed Chaos Beasts and devour their essence to enhance their own combat power. Therefore, although the human race suffered heavy casualties, the situation was quickly stabilized.

In contrast, the weaker races and civilizations had no chance to resist and could only be destroyed by the great war. For them, death was the best outcome. After all, the primordial world had become too crazy. When the chaotic beasts began to destroy the primordial world, those creatures at the bottom of the food chain were in dire straits. Moreover, this frenzied slaughter was not only the killing by the chaotic beasts, but also the killing among the beings of the primordial world. The reason was that they were affected by the calamity energy of heaven and earth. The Great Dao of the Primordial World uses the calamity energy of heaven and earth as its source to perfect itself, which has an impact on the beings of the primordial world. It amplifies their negative emotions and even changes their essence.

Although the powerful beings of the primordial world have all discovered this problem, no one has tried to stop it from happening. This is a great calamity of heaven and earth, an immeasurable calamity. Everything is under the influence of the Law of the Forest. The weak have no right to survive. Moreover, the transformation of the Great Dao of the Primordial World is accelerating the evolution of this immeasurable calamity. Under the calamity, slaughter is the main theme. Only by constantly devouring the enemy's essence and strengthening one's own combat power can one survive in this crazy immeasurable calamity.

Of course, whether all of this is influenced by the Primordial Dao is anyone's guess. After all, only the Primordial Dao itself knows the truth; others simply cannot know whether it has been secretly manipulating things. However, this is highly probable. The Primordial Dao needs bloodshed to strengthen itself and to increase the power of the strong in the Primordial World. The sacrifice of the weak is perfectly normal and insignificant to it. The strong are respected, and only the fittest survive—this is the Primordial World as it is now.

This chaotic prehistoric world has an impact on all living beings. In such an environment, negative emotions are amplified, and the pressure to survive strengthens the instincts of all creatures. The prehistoric world is now a terrifying killing field. In a short time, the entire prehistoric world was shrouded in endless resentment, which merged with the calamity energy of heaven and earth, intensifying the changes in the prehistoric world.

"Damn it, how could this happen? The primordial world has undergone such a crazy change, catching us completely off guard. If this continues, the crisis for humanity will be even greater. Although we have strong individuals constantly growing stronger, the number of chaotic beasts has not decreased. We can't hold out for much longer!"

"Brother Emperor, this is the Immeasurable Calamity. I never imagined it would be so insane. I thought the previous calamities were already insane enough, the most terrifying level of the Immeasurable Calamity, but now it seems they were nothing compared to this. The entire Primordial World is now threatened by the Chaos Beasts, and the suppressive power of the Primordial Great Dao is weakening. We need to speed things up." Emperor Xuanyuan sighed. Although he said these words, he understood that under the current circumstances, it was unrealistic for the human race to grow rapidly, as their strength was limited.

"Yes, we should indeed speed up our growth, but we can't do it with our current abilities. Perhaps we should ask Goddess Nuwa for help, or even talk to Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng!" The Earth Emperor Shennong frowned at this moment. He was also in a dilemma facing such great pressure!

"I'll talk to Nuwa. I believe she'll give me face, and the bond between humanity and her is still there!" Fuxi said, a faint unease flashing in his eyes. After all, although Nuwa was related to humanity and was their holy mother, she was also related to the demon race. The demon race was now far more dangerous than humanity. Humanity still had cohesion, but the demon race had long since become a disorganized mess. They didn't care about the survival of the demon race; they only cared about their own lives.

Not only the demon race, but the witch race is also in a dangerous situation. The departure of the twelve ancestral witches has deprived them of their most powerful force, while the great god Pangu is still sniping at the invasion of the chaotic beasts in the chaos. This has resulted in the witch race having a small world, but their power is insufficient to face this crisis.

Do they regret it? They do indeed have some regrets. After all, they hadn't expected that when the immeasurable calamity erupted and the entire Witch Clan was plunged into crisis, they wouldn't receive the protection of the Great God Pangu, nor the protection of Taiyi, the former lingering attachment to Pangu. Now, they could only rely on the power of the Witch Clan world to resist the attacks of the chaotic beasts. Although the Witch Clan could kill some of the chaotic beasts, the price they paid was too high, and they couldn't hold out for long in such a frenzied battle.

"I'll try to ask Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng for help, but his whereabouts are currently a mystery, and finding him is not an easy task. Moreover, we can't make a big fuss about it, which creates a considerable obstacle!" Shennong also understood Xiao Sheng's current situation. If they couldn't even find Xiao Sheng, then nothing else could be discussed!
However, given the current situation of the human race, Shennong could not afford to worry about so much. He could not give up even if there was only a sliver of hope. Moreover, he was not entirely without options, as he still had a vague connection with Jingwei. However, Shennong did not know that Jingwei and the others were currently in the Great Thousand World controlled by Changshengzi, and were not with Xiao Sheng at all. He was unaware of Xiao Sheng's current situation, and even less aware that Xiao Sheng was frantically killing chaotic beasts to accumulate origin.

"Time waits for no one, so let's act immediately. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the situation will continue to worsen. We must resolve our crisis before the situation in the entire prehistoric world deteriorates to its worst extent!" As Fuxi spoke, he immediately used his spiritual senses to search for the Goddess Nuwa, without even consulting Shennong and Xuanyuan further.

As soon as Emperor Fuxi made his move, Emperor Shennong also began to sense Jingwei's aura with his mind and started his search. The entire human race was also working frantically. Having lost two powerful figures, they needed to work even harder to face the crisis before them.

As humanity began to take action and further attempt to save themselves, the Twelve Ancestral Witches also wore grim expressions. They were receiving constant pleas for help from the Witch Clan, a situation that greatly troubled them. They too were under pressure; if they went to save the Witch Clan, they themselves would be affected! "Brother, let go. Those who walk different paths cannot work together. They have already parted ways with us, and now that they have problems, they want our help again. We are willing but powerless. We cannot allow ourselves to be affected and endanger the lives of those who left with us. Moreover, if we want to survive this immeasurable calamity, we need to accumulate more essence and improve our strength. If we compromise now and help those guys, will we be able to face the final battle of the immeasurable calamity in the future?" Although the Ancestral Witch Houtu felt a little reluctant, she knew better what to do. Trying to have both would only lead to their own deaths. At this moment, it was better to be a little selfish!
“That’s right. We are willing but powerless now. We can’t abandon our own safety to ask those who have parted ways with us for help. We have already persuaded them to give up the Pangu bloodline and go their own way, but they refused. So now that there are problems, they have to take responsibility themselves. We have already given them enough face. The Wu Clan world was built by us!” Zhu Jiuyin also agreed with Houtu Zuwu’s statement. After all, under such circumstances, it is better to protect ourselves first, and everything else can be abandoned.

Seeing that the Ancestral Witch Dijiang did not speak, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming also spoke up: "Brother, let go, don't hesitate any longer. We are not capable of taking care of both. We must protect ourselves first. If we can't even protect ourselves, what else can we talk about? It's not that we are unwilling to help, but that we are powerless to do so!"

Yes, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are now willing but powerless. In fact, they all have something they haven't said: Since the Witch Clan is unwilling to give up the Pangu bloodline, why don't they ask the Father God Pangu for help instead of asking them for help? Is there any other reason behind this? Are there some things they don't know?

Didn't the powerful members of the Wu Clan ever ask Pangu for help? They did, but received no response; their pleas sank without a trace. This forced them to seek help from the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Why was this? Because the Great God Pangu was in the Chaos Realm, and he had severed his karmic ties, as had Taiyi.

The Witch Clan brought this upon themselves. When the Twelve Ancestral Witches left, they left everything behind, including all their insights into the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation' from their bloodline. Without the power of the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation,' the Witch Clan's world would have been destroyed long ago. However, they are not the Twelve Ancestral Witches and do not possess the essence blood of the Ancestral Witches, so they cannot maintain the power of the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation' for long!

Just as Dijiang Zuwu was still hesitant, Taiyi, the former Pangu obsession, sighed. With the constant pleas for help from the Wu tribes, his body underwent a slight change. The Pangu essence blood, which was thought to have been completely refined, fluctuated slightly, and a trace of causal power began to revive.

"Alas, I originally thought that the essence blood of Pangu had been completely refined and there was no question of cause and effect. After all, it was something that the Twelve Ancestral Witches gave up voluntarily. But now the crisis of the Witch Clan has triggered the power of this essence blood. It seems that this cause and effect still needs to be severed!" Taiyi sighed at the trace of cause and effect that had appeared in his own body, and a faint sense of loss appeared in his eyes.

If he could, Taiyi would not want to sever Pangu's essence blood, as this would weaken his own combat power. However, he had no choice now. If he did not sever Pangu's essence blood, it would not be long before the essence blood would condense into new karma, which would destroy everything he had done before. Once this karma was formed, it would be difficult to sever.

"Fine, let's sever everything then, go!" With a deep shout from Taiyi, the Pangu essence blood that had been drawn out was slashed out by him, and then transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the Wu Clan.

"It is the essence of the Father God! Our sincerity has moved the Father God and received his response!" When they saw the essence of Pangu appear in the world of the Witch Clan and in the Ancestral Witch Hall, the newly born Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan roared wildly, their eyes revealing a hint of joy. They were saved; this was their hope.

After Pangu's essence blood entered the Pangu Palace, Pangu's heart began to beat, separating into twelve drops of the most primordial Pangu essence blood. This was the power of the essence blood of the laws once mastered by the twelve ancestral witches, and it also contained Taiyi's understanding of its Great Dao!
Soon, the twelve members of the Wu Clan obtained the twelve drops of Pangu's essence blood. Their auras rapidly increased. Originally, they were just Ancestral Witches, but now, with the help of these twelve drops of essence blood, their strength quickly rose to the peak of Ancestral Witches. Then, under the influence of Pangu's Heart, they leaped to the level of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Roar!" Twelve deep roars echoed throughout the Wu Clan world. Pangu's aura erupted wildly, and twelve Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals appeared, recreating the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation'. Upon their emergence, the twelve Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals quickly absorbed and digested the inheritance of the 'Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation'. This was because Taiyi had severed not only Pangu's essence blood but also his inheritance, allowing these twelve Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals to directly summon Pangu's true form.

When the twelve Grand Luo Immortals summoned the true form of Pangu, Pangu's karma was concentrated within the Wu Clan. The twelve Grand Luo Immortals directly received the inheritance from the true form of Pangu. They obtained the purest Pangu power, and their power grew wildly. Their understanding of the Great Dao of Pangu also improved rapidly. They became the true descendants of Pangu, and they obtained all of Pangu's power. All of Pangu's past inheritances became their foundation!
