Chapter 1389 Cooperation Based on Mutual Calculation

Chapter 1369 Cooperation Based on Mutual Calculation
Where does the threat come from? It doesn't come from the outside world, but from the immeasurable calamity that is coming to the Primordial World itself. The Primordial Great Dao wants to stop the calamity from continuing to erupt, but the Primordial World is not under its control. Not only are there endless attacks from chaotic beasts, but there is also the resentment of all living beings. The resentment generated by the deaths of too many living beings has accelerated the speed of the immeasurable calamity, which is something the Primordial Great Dao did not expect.

The Primordial Great Dao was desperately suppressing the invading Chaos Beasts, trying to create opportunities for all living beings in the Primordial World to kill them. However, it forgot that the weak were far more numerous in the Primordial World than the strong. As for the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, and the Primordial Golden Immortals who were born from Chaos Beasts, these guys were unreliable. Their killing spree had begun to change. They no longer killed without restraint as before. They were now focusing their energy on hunting Chaos Beasts that were in harmony with their own origins. This greatly reduced their killing spree and increased the burden on the Primordial Great Dao.

The Primordial Great Dao wanted to change all of this, but unfortunately, it couldn't. After all, these powerful beings were beyond its control. So, the Primordial Great Dao could only place its hopes on the beings that were transforming and evolving through its own origin, on the weaker beings. After all, during the transformation, these beings' strength was rapidly developing and growing, and they no longer had the constraints of their origin. The newly born beings all underwent a fundamental change, becoming unaffected by the absorption of any origin. They could absorb and digest all origins. This was the change the Primordial World brought to all living beings.

Xiao Sheng discovered this, but did others? It's hard to say. After all, the powerful beings in the Great Calamity focused their energy on their own transformation and evolution, paying no attention to the situation of other beings, especially those at the bottom of the food chain. In their eyes, these were ants. But anything is possible in the immeasurable calamity. Even ants can defy the heavens, not to mention that these ants also received help from the Primordial Great Dao.

With the aid of the Primordial Great Dao, the changes among all living beings in the Primordial World accelerated, which in turn propelled the eruption of the Immeasurable Calamity! While everyone was immersed in the slaughter of the Chaos Beasts, the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, as well as the Primordial Golden Immortals born from Chaos Beasts, all began to hunt the Chaos Beasts madly, forgetting everything within the Chaos. If they hadn't made any preparations in the Chaos, it would have been fine, but which of these guys hadn't prepared an escape route for themselves? It's just that the changes in the Primordial World were too great, and the temptations were too great, causing them all to fall into madness and selectively forget the arrangements they had made in the Chaos.

"How much time does Yang Mei have left to lock onto those guys' Great Thousand Worlds? If we don't lock onto these worlds soon, we'll miss out on the opportunities in the Primordial World?" Shi Chen nervously reminded Yang Mei, as the changes in the Primordial World made him uneasy, and even made him feel that his decision might be wrong. He knew that the Primordial World was currently blooming with many opportunities, especially the Great Dao opportunity that they had been waiting for.

"It'll be soon. There's no use in rushing. We've all forgotten an important issue: the Chaos Beasts have all been lured into the Primordial World. Apart from those Great Thousand Worlds that were exposed before and destroyed by the Chaos Beasts, those Great Thousand Worlds were all abandoned. Their escape routes are all protected by numerous restrictions and hidden in the void. It's not an easy task to locate them using the origin of space. We also have to be wary of sneak attacks from the Great Dao. How can you expect me to find them quickly!"

"We possess the primordial aura of these beings; you can certainly trace their scent. We don't have much time left. Many have already abandoned the opportunities in Chaos, choosing to return to the Primordial World. If we gain nothing more, we will have no choice but to leave as well. After all, time waits for no one. The outbreak of the Immeasurable Calamity has cost us a great deal of time! Everything is completely different from what we once envisioned. Pangu has been born, but the Great Dao in Chaos has vanished without a trace, not even its avatars. All that remains is the madness of those Chaos Beasts." Instinctively, Shi Chen sensed that the course of this Immeasurable Calamity had become even more perilous. Their previous calculations were all wrong; the Great Dao had deceived them all.

Unfortunately, although he had such thoughts in his heart, Shi Chen dared not say them out loud. This was Chaos, and if he dared to speak, the Great Dao would notice him the next moment, and he might even face the Great Dao's attack. Since it involved his own safety, Shi Chen naturally had to be cautious. Moreover, he and Yang Mei were just partners, and they were both wary of each other. After all, the temptation of the Great Dao of Time and Space was too great, and neither Shi Chen nor Yang Mei would give it up!
“I know all this pressure, but now that the immeasurable calamity has affected even the chaos, I have no way to speed things up. Haven’t you noticed that the entire chaos has become incredibly strange, as if everything has fallen into a deathly silence? We haven’t even found the lair of those chaotic beasts. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with that?”

Upon hearing Yang Mei's words, Shi Chen sighed inwardly. He had naturally noticed the problem, but instinctively chose to forget it. After all, this was Chaos, the territory of the Great Dao. Even though they had cultivated the true bodies of Chaos Gods and Demons and had embarked on a new path of the Great Dao, they were still holding back and on guard.

“Yang Mei, if all else fails, we can break through the void. Otherwise, continuing to search aimlessly will only waste our precious time. If we can’t find those guys’ Great Thousand Worlds, we can hunt Chaos Beasts, which can also accelerate our own transformation and evolution. There’s no need to place all our hopes on the Great Thousand Worlds, which may not even exist.”

"Shichen, are you doubting that those great worlds don't exist, and that those guys are plotting against us? If these great worlds don't exist, then all our perceptions before the immeasurable eons were wrong?" Yang Mei Daxian couldn't accept this explanation. After all, he had prepared so much for all of this. If it was all a lie, it meant that all his previous preparations had been in vain!

"No, I'm not saying that my previous senses were wrong. Have you ever thought about how those great worlds were taken away by them? They can do many things over endless years. If all of this is their backup plan, do you think the Chaos is safer or the Primordial World is safer? Most importantly, if the Primordial World is destroyed, the immeasurable calamity will destroy everything. What amazing opportunities will come from the destruction of a perfect great world?"

Silence fell. For a moment, Yangmei Immortal fell silent. It was indeed possible, but he still believed that those guys could not move the Great Thousand World silently, nor could they refine the Great Thousand World into a Chaos Treasure to carry with them. Perhaps some people could do it, but most of them did not have such strength. The price was too high. Not all Chaos Gods and Demons could do it!
After a moment, Yang Mei spoke, "Let's search a little longer. If we still find nothing, then we'll give up. I think we're close to finding these guys' lair. Once we find one, we can use the resonance of the Great Thousand Worlds to find more." In comparison, Shi Chen's pressure was less than Yang Mei's. After all, Shi Chen only needed the spatial origin, and whether it was Chaos or the Primordial World, the spatial origin was easier to obtain than the temporal origin. The Great Dao of Time was completely different, which was why Great Immortal Yang Mei placed his hopes on those Great Thousand Worlds. After all, each Great Thousand World had a sufficient amount of the Great Dao of Time; otherwise, it would have been impossible for Great Thousand Worlds to be formed. Returning to the Primordial World didn't offer as many opportunities as being in Chaos!

It was precisely because of this imbalance that the cooperation between Yang Mei and Shi Chen was slightly strained. However, they were still able to remain calm. After all, the allure of a vast world was more valuable than the origin of a chaotic beast, and it could even accelerate their own transformation and evolution. This was an immeasurable calamity. Although the Great Dao had become invisible, they both believed in their hearts that the Great Dao would still appear. The moment the Great Dao appeared would be the final battle!

Strength determines everything. Neither Yang Mei nor Shi Chen wanted to miss the opportunities in the chaos, nor the origins of the great worlds created by the chaotic gods and demons. They were unwilling to waste more precious time in battle, since every great battle would expose many of their secrets and allow the Great Dao to perceive them. Their ultimate enemy was not their 'companions' who were born from the three thousand chaotic gods and demons, nor even Pangu, but the Great Dao itself. In their hearts, the Great Dao was the enemy that bound their transformation and evolution, the enemy that prevented them from breaking free from its constraints!

Of course, this wasn't a thought unique to Yang Mei and Shi Chen; it was a shared belief among the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons. All of them believed that the Great Dao was the constraint on their own transformation and evolution, the key to breaking free from chaos. Only by severing the shackles of the Great Dao could they escape chaos and complete their own transformation. Now, the immeasurable calamity they had been waiting for had finally arrived, naturally instilling in them a greater sense of urgency and making them even more tense!
Did Yang Mei really not find the Great Thousand World? No, he just didn't tell Shi Chen. He wanted to keep it all to himself. Shi Chen also suspected Yang Mei, but he didn't want to fall out with Yang Mei yet, so he let the cooperation continue. If he didn't find anything, their cooperation would come to an end. After all, Shi Chen couldn't keep wasting his precious time and energy. Yang Mei had methods and schemes, and Shi Chen was no less capable!

Seeing the changes in the timeline, Yang Mei sighed inwardly. Everything in excess is harmful; she couldn't go too far. She needed to give Shi Chen some incentive, otherwise the cooperation would come to an end. Although it seemed the Great Dao hadn't reacted at all, and they hadn't even encountered any chaotic beasts, this wasn't absolute. If she and Shi Chen separated, things might change, but Yang Mei dared not take such a risk.

"At this hour, I sensed the existence of a vast world, but I also sensed danger. That world seemed to be acting strangely. I don't know if it's an enemy trap or if it has been taken over by a chaotic beast. Now we need to make a decision: should we go and seize this world?"

Upon hearing Yang Mei's words, Shi Chen's expression hardened. Although he had long known that Yang Mei had a scheme, he did not expect that Yang Mei would go so far as to play mind games with him even at this point, placing such a dangerous Great Thousand World in front of him, wanting him to exert his strength to compete for the power of this Great Thousand World.

"Forget it, consider it a lesson learned. Cooperating with a guy like that isn't worth it. Yang Mei has absolutely no credibility!" Shi Chen quickly made his decision. He didn't want to waste any more of his time and energy; after this collaboration, they would go their separate ways. Actually, Shi Chen didn't realize that this was just bad luck. It was simply that the nearest world to them was fraught with danger. Shi Chen had simply run out of patience and was unwilling to continue!
"Then let's fight! We can't afford to pay such a high price and gain nothing. Even if there's danger, we can handle it with our combined strength. Whether it's a trap or a chaotic beast, it's not a reason for us to back down. Let's fight!" As he spoke, Shi Chen exuded boundless fighting spirit. Upon seeing his transformation, Yang Mei Daxian sighed inwardly. If he could, he wouldn't want to start a war, but he couldn't stop Shi Chen's decision now. After all, intervening at this moment would only destroy their cooperation!

"Hiss, this Great Thousand World is indeed problematic. It was not created by a single Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal, but by the combined efforts of several Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals. However, this Great Thousand World is full of traps. It is not a perfect Great Thousand World, but more like an experimental Great Thousand World, just one of the escape routes those guys have prepared for themselves!"

Upon seeing the Great Thousand World, Yang Mei's expression turned solemn. Although this Great Thousand World was very tempting and possessed powerful primal energy, it also had terrifying dangers. The restrictions wrapped around the Great Thousand World made people know how terrifying and dreadful it was, and that a slight mistake could lead to a crisis.

"Dead silence. What I feel in this vast world is the aura of death. This is indeed not a perfect world, but a world where someone left a way out. But we have no choice now. If we can seize the origin of this world and refine it, we can all advance further. However, we will have to face the revenge of the creator of this world, and it will be a revenge that will never end!" Shi Chen, who also saw all this, sighed, a faint solemnity appearing in his eyes.
