I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1404 Doubt

Chapter 1384 Doubt

"Shichen, Yangmei, what are you waiting for? What do you want to do?" Just as everyone was starting to fear Xiao Sheng, a voice resounded throughout the primordial world. It wasn't the voice of the Great God Pangu, but the voice of the Primordial Dao. Unable to outmaneuver Xiao Sheng, under the pressure of their failed curse on the gods and demons, and amidst the onslaught of the chaotic beasts, the Primordial Dao's Shichen and Yangmei, these two chaotic gods and demons, posed this question. Something was definitely not right!
The constant meddling by the Primordial Dao has caused the Gods and Demons of Destiny, Karma, Hongjun Daozu, and Demon Ancestor Luohou to frown. All of this is extremely detrimental to their plans. The Primordial Dao's repeated actions are clearly aimed at disrupting the situation and sabotaging their plans. Perhaps from the very beginning, they have all been deceived by the Primordial Dao.

"Fellow Daoists," the God of Destiny said solemnly to the God of Karma and the others, "what do you think the Primordial Great Dao is trying to do? If we let it continue like this, our plans will fall apart. It seems like this guy is plotting something. In just this short time, he has made several moves, and each time he has been scheming against all living beings. Now he has even directly addressed Yang Mei and Shi Chen!" The God of Destiny said with a grave expression, a hint of unease in his eyes. If it were only once or twice, it might be understandable, but this repeated occurrence was a serious problem, making even him, the wielder of destiny, feel uneasy and fearful!
"He wants to disrupt all cause and effect, all arrangements, and doesn't want our plan to succeed. We've remained hidden all along, making him fearful and worried. This is an immeasurable calamity, with three thousand chaotic gods and demons, numerous Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and countless primordial beings. How could those beings he created possibly control everything in the primordial world? His so-called plan to be the protagonist of heaven and earth may have gone wrong, leading him to even more insane schemes! I don't know how you all feel, but I can sense that the cause and effect of this primordial world is in chaos. It seems he wants to disrupt the cause and effect of the entire primordial world!"

As the God of Cause and Effect spoke these words, strands of causal power were rushing towards him frantically. This included not only the causal forces of the Primordial Great Dao, but also the causal forces of all living beings in the Primordial World. It seemed that his words had disrupted the causal forces of the Primordial World. Was he disrupting the causal forces of the Primordial World, or was it the Primordial Great Dao that was doing this, or were both of them doing this?

Although they did not cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, with the power of the God of Destiny, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, they could naturally sense this subtle change. They exchanged glances but did not accuse the God of Cause and Effect. In that instant, they all doubted the God of Cause and Effect, since he had betrayed them before. Under such circumstances, they naturally dared not trust him anymore.

"If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth!" This applies to ordinary living beings, and it's naturally the same for these chaotic gods and demons. Faced with absolute self-interest, they are capable of anything. Betrayal is just a normal occurrence. Cultivators only care about themselves, not about heaven and earth or the primordial world.

In today's primordial world, among the countless beings, how many are truly selfless and willing to sacrifice themselves for others? It's safe to say that almost none are. Even the strongest beings of those races and civilizations have selfish desires and only think of their own races, not the beings of the primordial world, much less the primordial universe itself.

The words spoken by the God of Cause and Effect immediately made the God of Destiny and the others think of betrayal and scheming. After all, this guy had already cooperated with the Great Dao in Chaos once, and no one knew whether the previous separation was fake or a conspiracy to gain their trust.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the God of Destiny, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and Demon Ancestor Luohou, the God of Karma naturally knew what these guys were thinking. Before they could speak, the God of Karma smiled calmly and continued, "Do the three of you think I'm scheming against you, suspecting that I'm going to betray our previous agreement? You're overthinking it. I have no such intentions. If I wanted to scheme against you, I wouldn't have said these things to put you on guard. I'm only thinking about my own safety! If the situation continues to deteriorate, and the scheming of the Primordial Great Dao continues, it won't be good for us, it might even be a disaster!"

"Yes, in the current situation, we are all facing a life-or-death crisis. No one knows how things will turn out if the situation continues to deteriorate. Judging from the reaction of the Primordial Dao, we are all in danger now. This time, the Primordial Dao is attacking Yang Mei and Shi Chen. Who knows if he has been watching us all along? The reason he is doing this is to scheme against us, to make us lower our guard, so that he can deliver a fatal blow to us!" Although Hongjun Daozu was also wary of the God and Demon of Cause and Effect, he would not show it at this time. Instead, he chose to shift the blame to the Primordial Dao. As for whether his statement was a bit far-fetched, it didn't matter. After all, no one is a fool!

“That makes sense. Given the current situation, it's not impossible for the Primordial Great Dao to scheme against us. It even attacked that madman Xiao Sheng and tried to kill him with the help of the Chaos Beasts. However, it failed because it underestimated Xiao Sheng's strength. But it's different if it schemes against us. In any case, we have all wielded the power of the Primordial Great Dao, which is the greatest threat to it. As for Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, it's even simpler. You even wanted to destroy the Primordial World, so how could it not be wary of your actions!”

The God of Destiny quickly responded to Hongjun Daozu's statement, and even went a step further, refining it to make it acceptable to everyone, even if they had some doubts in their hearts. They still needed to maintain appearances, after all, they were all powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and they all had their pride! Since they couldn't afford to fall out with the God of Cause and Effect, preserving everyone's dignity was the best choice and the most suitable for their current situation!
"I also think there's definitely something wrong with this. If the Primordial Dao really wanted to question Yang Mei and Shi Chen, why didn't it act from the beginning? Why wait until the end of this great battle, until Xiao Sheng had already escaped? If I'm not mistaken, the Primordial Dao has lost track of Xiao Sheng's location. It has lost control of Xiao Sheng, so it had to resort to this scheme to stabilize the situation in the Primordial World. It's afraid—afraid that this madman Xiao Sheng will retaliate against it, even afraid that Xiao Sheng will kill the Cursed Demon God!"

Seeing that Hongjun Daozu and the God of Destiny were giving him such respect, the God of Karma naturally wanted to do everything perfectly. He revealed all his speculations, believing that Xiao Sheng's current strength had surpassed the grasp of the Primordial Dao. With Xiao Sheng's further advancement in his understanding of the Dao of Life, not only the Primordial Dao, but even a powerhouse like Pangu couldn't lock onto his aura. In the God of Karma's mind, Xiao Sheng could completely conceal his life essence and life aura, ignoring the Primordial World's attempts to lock him down.

This wasn't just the suspicion and conjecture of the Gods and Demons of Cause and Effect; the Gods and Demons of Destiny, Hongjun Daozu, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou all harbored similar suspicions. After all, they were all Chaos Gods and Demons, possessing unparalleled understanding of the Great Dao. In their view, Xiao Sheng surpassed even the original God of Life. The failure of the Primordial Great Dao could only be blamed on his own arrogance and self-righteousness. This personality trait stemmed from his complete lack of understanding of the essence of Chaos Gods and Demons, and even less understanding of Xiao Sheng's situation, which led him into his current predicament.

However, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the others didn't care about the issue of the Primordial Great Dao at all. In fact, it could be said that even the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons didn't care, nor did the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals who evolved from Chaos Beasts. If anyone did care, it was only the beings of the Primordial World. Whether it was the Three Pure Ones and other Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals, or those struggling to survive, they were all worried about the situation in the Primordial World, as it concerned their life and death. As the frenzy of slaughter continued, and as many beings underwent transformation, who wouldn't fear the erosion from the Primordial Great Dao falling upon them? For intelligent beings, their greatest fear was freedom. No one wanted to be controlled. Just like the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, why did they engage in the creation of the world with Pangu, and even fight among themselves? It was because they didn't want to be controlled. They felt that their inability to break through their own bottlenecks was due to being bound and manipulated by the Great Dao within the Chaos, which was why the Primordial World came into being.

When the voice of the Primordial Dao resounded throughout the Primordial World, allowing all living beings to hear it, it wasn't just the Gods and Demons of Destiny who were discussing countermeasures. The Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and the human race, among others, were all doing the same thing, all questioning the intentions of the Primordial Dao!

"Hehe, what a cunning scheme by the Primordial Dao! Questioning Yang Mei and Shi Chen at this moment is an attempt to shift the blame onto them. It seems that this guy is unable to stop the attack of the Chaos Beasts. Pangu's power can no longer protect the Primordial World, forcing the Primordial Dao to turn its attention to the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, and to all living beings in the Primordial World."

After disengaging from the battlefield and stabilizing himself, Xiao Sheng had completely seen through the machinations of the Primordial Great Dao. He understood it more clearly than those like the Gods and Demons of Destiny; perhaps this is a case of those involved being confused, while bystanders see clearly. Xiao Sheng had severed all ties with the Primordial World, and he had also completely positioned himself on the opposite side of the Primordial World, thus gaining a clearer understanding of the Primordial Great Dao's situation.

Xiao Sheng wasn't completely unprepared when he guided those chaotic beasts to attack the Primordial World, causing damage and even besieging the cursed gods and demons. He also took the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the situation in the Primordial World. Moreover, Xiao Sheng's actions were all kept secret from everyone, not even the Primordial Dao itself. It was precisely because of everything Xiao Sheng did in this operation that he gained a deeper understanding of the Primordial Dao!

Even if he saw through everything, Xiao Sheng couldn't interfere, much less sabotage it. After all, he had no time to target the Primordial Dao; his priority was to get Changshengzi away from the Primordial World as quickly as possible. In his view, the Primordial Dao's madness signified the worst was about to happen. If it could no longer withstand the external shocks and threats, a terrifying natural disaster would befall it. At that point, it was best for Changshengzi to stay far away.

Of course, Xiao Sheng wouldn't forget the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist. Given the situation, he had to inform those two so they could be prepared and avoid losing their lives due to carelessness.

"My Lord, what brings you to us in such a hurry? Are you worried about the schemes of the Primordial Great Dao?" The Dark King's voice rang out as Xiao Sheng made contact with the Dark King, the Ten Directions Daoist, and Changshengzi.

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about. Changshengzi needs to get away quickly. We can send him our final gains and then we won't need to do that anymore. We need to be wary of the schemes of the Primordial Dao and the schemes of the Chaos Dao. After all, we don't understand the Boundless Calamity, nor do we understand the schemes of the Chaos Dao."

Xiao Sheng sighed deeply. He had no choice but to do this; with the Primordial Dao's frenzied attacks, he was forced to prepare for the worst. Xiao Sheng was certain that he was being targeted by the Primordial Dao, so he didn't want Changshengzi to be exposed, nor did he want the Dark King and Shifang Daoren to be exposed as well.

“Then what should we do? The situation in the Primordial World is not simple. I have discovered that the strength of those Chaos Beasts is recovering, and the suppression of them by the Primordial Great Dao is weakening. I am worried that the Primordial Great Dao will not be able to hold on for long. I even suspect that this guy questioned Yang Mei and Shi Chen at this time just to shift the blame and put all the responsibility on them, so that everyone in the Primordial World would resent Yang Mei and Shi Chen.”

"This was expected. If the Primordial Dao didn't do this, he would be a fool. Now that he has such a good excuse, why would he give it up? It can only be said that the return of Shichen and Yangmei was a bit untimely, giving the Primordial Dao such an opportunity. Fortunately, Yangmei and Shichen completely ignored the Primordial Dao's questions, causing his plan to fail by half. As long as Yangmei and Shichen don't respond, this guy's idea cannot be fully realized."
