I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1416: Tacit Understanding or Conspiracy?
Chapter 1396 Is it tacit understanding or conspiracy?

"What's the point of saying anything now? For us, there's only one battle left. I believe everyone knows what the opportunities of the primordial world are. Let's start the war, there's no need to hesitate. It's not that we don't want to let these guys go, but they're pushing us step by step towards a dead end. This battle is inevitable!" A deep voice rang out from the mouth of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. He had long seen through all of this. At this point, there was no other choice but to fight to the death!

"Luo Hou, how dare you say such a thing? You yourself are no good, yet you dare to criticize us. You cultivate the Great Dao of Destruction, just to destroy the primordial world. Now you dare to accuse us? It's utterly ridiculous!"

"Yes, Luo Hou, among all the chaotic gods and demons, you are the least qualified to say such things. You have no right to criticize us. You are the most insidious and vicious bastard. We did what you wanted to do most, and instead of thanking us, you criticize us. How hypocritical are you?"

In an instant, those guys all began to criticize Demon Ancestor Rahu, and what they said all seemed quite reasonable. After all, that's how reality is. How dare a Chaos God-Demon who cultivates the Great Dao of Destruction criticize them, the Chaos God-Demons? If we were to name the Chaos God-Demons in the Primordial World who most longed for its destruction, Demon Ancestor Rahu would definitely be among the top. Don't be fooled by his current alliance with the God-Demon of Destiny; he's the most insane and vicious being, he just hasn't made his move yet!

"Luo Hou, if you have the guts, swear an oath before the Great Dao, saying you don't want to see the destruction of the Primordial World and that you will protect it. Otherwise, don't utter such ridiculous words. Everyone knows what kind of people we are. Neither you nor Destiny are good people. If you truly wanted to stop the destruction of the Primordial World, why would you allow those Chaos Beasts to impact and destroy it? To put it bluntly, you want to use others to do your dirty work, using the Chaos Beasts to destroy the Primordial World. If you had any intention of protecting the Primordial World, things wouldn't be like this now. You're not even as good as Xiao Sheng. At least Xiao Sheng took action to kill the Chaos Beasts!"

Good heavens, those Cursed Gods and Demons aren't any better. Now this guy is plotting against Xiao Sheng again, or rather, he's taking revenge on Xiao Sheng, since Xiao Sheng ruined his plans. At this moment, the Cursed Gods and Demons are directly dragging Xiao Sheng into the open, making him a thorn in everyone's side!

Previously, Xiao Sheng was quite pleased that these Chaos Gods and Demons had clashed and a massacre was about to break out. However, he did not expect that the Curse God and Demon would be so treacherous and cunning, actually dragging him out at this critical moment and making him an enemy of the Destiny God and Demon, or even more Chaos Gods and Demons. After all, his own life Dao origin was very tempting!
"Damn cursed demon, don't make a mistake, don't give me a chance, or you're dead! How dare you scheme against me at this time? I won't swallow this insult until I've killed you!" Xiao Sheng muttered viciously to himself. Although he desperately wanted to kill the cursed demon, the current situation didn't allow him to do so. Moreover, Xiao Sheng suspected that this might be part of the cursed demon's conspiracy, that these guys were trying to provoke him into action. If that was indeed the case, it was best not to act rashly at this moment!
"My lord, it seems the Cursed God and the Primordial Great Dao have their eyes on you. They've set their sights on your life Dao essence, otherwise they wouldn't have said such things at this time. It seems the worst is about to happen. We'll have to fight these guys to the death. We have no way out now; slaughter will follow us!" The Ten Directions Daoist sighed softly. Although he knew all this would happen, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly or be so dangerous. The Cursed God had actually pushed Xiao Sheng into the spotlight under everyone's watchful eyes!
"Isn't this something we expected? Even if it weren't for the Cursed Gods and Demons, other Chaos Gods and Demons would have done the same. Even the Fate Gods and Demons would have pushed me to the forefront to attract everyone's attention. This time, they're not just scheming against me, but also against those Chaos Beasts, and even against all living beings in the Primordial World. A true massacre is about to erupt. There will be no more order in the Primordial World. This is not only what the Primordial Great Dao wants to see, but also what Pangu wants to see, and even what the Great Dao wants to see. It's possible that most of those Chaos Gods and Demons would even be willing to see destruction come. No destruction, no construction; destruction precedes construction. In the immeasurable calamities, their greatest chance of survival might be the enlightenment brought about by the transformation of the Primordial Great Dao, or even the change in opportunity!"

"No way, they'd go that crazy? That doesn't make sense!" Daoist Shifang said with a puzzled look. He couldn't accept Xiao Sheng's statement, as it was completely different from what he had imagined!

"Nothing is impossible. Only when slaughter arrives can everything start anew, and only in death can new opportunities be born. I even suspect that these guys are tacitly putting on a show. They all look forward to the arrival of destruction, but they need to give the beings of the primordial world a glimmer of hope, so that they won't go mad out of despair, and even so that those Primordial Golden Immortals born from chaotic beasts won't be provoked into madness, causing everything to lose its guidance! Think about it, what would be the consequences if these Primordial Golden Immortals born from chaotic beasts went mad, and what would the beings of the primordial world do if they couldn't see hope? Don't be fooled by appearances. After all, these guys are extremely treacherous and cunning; none of them are trustworthy!"

Upon hearing Xiao Sheng's words, both the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist sighed. Upon careful consideration, they realized that such a thing could indeed happen. In the past, they had thought that there was hostility between the Chaos Gods and Demons, but this hostility was something that could easily change. Moreover, these guys all had the same goal, so at certain times they would cooperate tacitly to scheme against the beings of the Primordial World or those Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals.

The more Xiao Sheng learned about the treacherous and cunning Chaos Gods and Demons, and their many secrets before the creation of the Primordial World, the more he realized that these guys were not on the same side as him, or even on the same side as the people of the Primordial World. Even if there were conflicts between them, they would still choose to cooperate when facing others, and they cooperated very well with each other!
Although Xiao Sheng understood all of this, no one would believe him if he said such a thing, because this was an immeasurable calamity, and all living beings in the world were having their minds eroded by the calamity energy of heaven and earth, and would be unknowingly affected by the negative forces. So under these circumstances, even if Xiao Sheng was telling the truth, not many people would believe him.

Having understood this, Xiao Sheng naturally wouldn't waste his breath or his precious time, nor would he engage in futile efforts that would only make him more vulnerable to these guys' enemies and ambushes. Now that he was out in the open, these guys would be more cautious. After all, the presence of numerous Chaos Beasts was a means of self-defense; having many Chaos Beasts around him was the best protection. Of course, many among these Chaos Gods and Demons saw through Xiao Sheng's scheme, and even many powerful figures in the Primordial World saw through it. However, seeing through it was useless, because Xiao Sheng had laid everything out in the open, leaving them no chance to ambush him unless they too were willing to step into the open and face enemies from all sides.

Although the Chaos Gods and Demons possessed a powerful grasp of the Great Dao, not all of them were skilled in battle. Some of them did not have a strong enough grasp of the Great Dao, so they dared not risk their lives and did not want to benefit others. It was precisely because of this that even though Xiao Sheng had come into the open, few Chaos Gods and Demons dared to attack him. On the one hand, they were wary of Xiao Sheng's combat strength, and on the other hand, they were wary of their 'fellow Daoists' and the existence of those Chaos Beasts.

In the immeasurable calamity, no one dares to risk their life, not even the slightest chance. These chaotic gods and demons wouldn't take the risk; they all understand that in the immeasurable calamity, death and annihilation mean no chance of rebirth. Despite having numerous contingency plans, they know their effectiveness is limited. Aside from their familiar 'fellow cultivators,' there's also the existence of the Great Chaos Dao itself—a being who remains hidden, the most terrifying enemy. They all fear being ambushed by this being when they find themselves in danger!
The three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons in the Primordial World know best how powerful the Chaos Dao is, and therefore they are the ones who fear the Chaos Dao the most. Compared to them, Xiao Sheng is far inferior to them. It is precisely because they understand this that everything has become what it is today, and that such a confrontation has occurred!
"How should we deal with all this? My Lord, don't forget that you and I are both in the open. If danger occurs, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for Shi Fang's help. After all, Shi Fang also needs to improve his own combat power and doesn't have time to hide in the dark and protect our safety all the time?" The Dark King asked Xiao Sheng with a worried expression. The current situation was too fierce, and he felt boundless pressure.

"What's there to say now? We can only take it one step at a time. However, judging from the current situation, no one will be targeting us in the short term. After all, they've witnessed our previous carnage. No one will risk their life without absolute certainty. In comparison, our biggest threat is the Primordial Dao and those Chaotic Beasts. The Primordial Dao holds the reins of the Primordial World. Don't think that just because it's currently being rejected by the Primordial World's origin, it can't launch a fatal attack on us using the power of the Primordial World's origin. The power of rules is extremely dangerous. Also, the Chaotic Beasts are backed by the Chaotic Dao itself. No one knows how powerful they will be!"

Xiao Sheng was absolutely right. Under the current circumstances, everything was too terrifying and too horrible. Countless schemes were intertwined, forming the current terrible situation. If even one string breaks, it could trigger a chain reaction and make the situation uncontrollable. Especially judging from the reactions of these guys, one can't help but wonder if they had a tacit understanding beforehand!

“My Lord, you should let us take it one step at a time. But given the current situation, how much time do you think we have left? Don’t forget our origins, especially the allure of your Great Dao of Life. As for Shi Fang and me, we are also in great danger. The struggle for the Dao exists. I don’t believe that Shi Chen and Yang Mei haven’t noticed our presence. They just haven’t fully confirmed our identities yet.”

“Darkness is right. Shichen and Yangmei haven't made their move yet, but given enough time, or if they see through everything, those two won't wait any longer. At that point, Darkness and I will both face the enemy's annihilation. The Dao War is truly a fight to the death, with no possibility of compromise.” The Ten Directions Daoist also hoped Xiao Sheng could provide a better solution so they could extricate themselves from this Dao War. Until they were strong enough, neither the Ten Directions Daoist nor the Dark King wanted to engage in a Dao War with Shichen and Yangmei, these two Chaos Gods and Demons!

"Don't worry. Time is of the essence for us, but the Dao Struggle isn't something that can be easily initiated. You're all afraid and worried, but do you think Yang Mei and Shi Chen aren't? Their origins are equally tempting. Given the chance, let alone the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, even those Primordial Golden Immortals born from Chaos Beasts wouldn't be able to resist their greed and would attack these two. The reason their battle hasn't fully erupted yet is because they're both wary of each other and unwilling to risk their lives. But the situation has changed a bit now. Perhaps some of them can't hold on any longer. Under the pressure of the immeasurable calamity, they'll be forced to take the initiative and fight for that sliver of hope!"

This is an immeasurable calamity, and this calamity has changed again and again, and is no longer what the many chaotic beasts had imagined. Under such circumstances, they naturally have to be cautious and dare not be careless in the slightest. They are worried that even a small oversight could cost them their lives!
