Chapter 1432 The calm before the storm

Chapter 1412 The Calm Before the Storm
"Why is this happening? All of this has nothing to do with us, so why are we forced to endure this immeasurable calamity that doesn't belong to us?" At this moment, many beings in the primordial world were shouting, after all, they had all heard the words of the Great Dao of Chaos, and they all blamed the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, feeling that they were very wronged.

Actually, it's not entirely fair to say they were wronged. After all, without the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, there would be no Primordial World, and without the Primordial World, they wouldn't exist. When all this happened, it's a bit excessive for them to place all the blame on the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons. Unfortunately, they didn't think that way; they all believed it was all the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons' fault. This is the ugliness of human nature—always choosing reasons that benefit oneself!

"Enough, shut up! Everything has already happened, and no amount of complaining will change anything. What we need to do now is figure out how to protect ourselves. Under the immeasurable calamity, only slaughter is possible. This is not only aimed at the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, but also at those Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and even at our races and civilizations. If we want to survive in the immeasurable calamity, we must kill, we must sever the causal bonds!"

At this time, many races and civilizations, struggling under the weight of the prevailing circumstances, were discussing countermeasures. This was the last thing they wanted to see, yet they had no choice but to face it, for this was the inevitable course of nature, something they were powerless to change. If anyone in the primordial world possessed the ability to alter everything, it would be the Great Dao of Chaos, but unfortunately, the Great Dao of Chaos would never intervene.

"We should indeed make the necessary preparations, but is what the Chaos Dao says the truth? Could it be that he also has his own schemes? Could it be that he is also deceiving us all? As a Dao, how could he possibly ignore everything in the primordial world!"

"You suspect the Great Dao of Chaos is lying? Who do you think you are? What do you think we are? Would the Great Dao of Chaos really utter such a lie to scheme against us? And didn't you see that neither Pangu nor the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons refuted it? It's obvious that all of this is true. For our survival, we have no choice but to fight with all our might. If the Great Dao of Chaos hadn't said these words, we might still have a sliver of hope, but with these words, there's no room for slack. If you insist on having such foolish thoughts, you're courting destruction. These words have already stirred up the killing intent of all living beings in the entire prehistoric world, not to mention the threat of the Chaos Beasts invading!"

Yes, the clever ones have already seen through the underlying issues, but it's not so easy for some fools to see through them. Moreover, the words of the Chaos Dao have caused quite a stir, especially for Xiao Sheng and the Styx Ancestor. Xiao Sheng is somewhat better off, not affected much, since he had prepared in advance. But for the Styx Ancestor, it's a completely different story. He now realizes that he has embarked on a wrong path, and all of this is caused by the Hongjun Dao Ancestor and the God of Destiny.

From that moment on, the Styx Ancestor felt an intense hatred for the God of Destiny and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If it weren't for their scheming, he wouldn't have gone astray, taking the path of severing the three corpses and cutting off his very foundation. This guy was pushing all the blame onto others, never considering what he had done wrong. If he had been even a little smarter and more rational, none of this would have happened, and he wouldn't have been tricked by the God of Destiny and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Both Houtu and Hongjun were schemed against by others. Houtu was schemed against by the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun Daozu, and even the God of Karma. However, Houtu forged her own path, obtained the power of reincarnation, and took a crucial step in her cultivation. On the other hand, Styx Ancestor missed the opportunity when it was right in his hands. No wonder he lost it!

"A frenzied slaughter is about to begin. From now on, as long as there is cause and effect, there will only be killing, nothing else. Is this the calculation of the Chaos Dao? This guy is accelerating the immeasurable calamity of the primordial world. He seems to say he won't interfere, but with these words, the situation in the entire primordial world will spiral out of control. If before everyone had any reservations or fears, from this moment on, they will no longer have such thoughts!" Xiao Sheng sighed, a faint look of shock flashing in his eyes.

Will this change affect him? Of course it will. Even though Xiao Sheng has made the worst preparations and even seen through the many schemes behind it, before the Chaos Dao's words appeared, there were always some people who had different ideas. But now it's different. Once a cause and effect is formed, it will be a fight to the death.

"My Lord, have you noticed that the Great Dao of Chaos also holds back? He glanced at you as he left. Could it be that he has already discovered the situation of the Immortal Child and knows our backup plan?" The Ten Directions Daoist had been paying close attention to the Great Dao of Chaos, so he saw his every move very clearly.

The Ten Directions Daoist was focused on the Chaos Dao, while the Dark King was watching the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, hoping to uncover more secrets. However, neither of them expected the Chaos Dao to act so ruthlessly upon its appearance, directly overturning the table and laying everything out in the open! This situation was completely beyond their control and beyond their imagination!

"This is inevitable. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Great Dao of Chaos has exposed everything. He hasn't revealed the details of these matters. And whether it's Pangu, the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, or the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, do you think they are as simple as they appear on the surface? The existence of the Immortal Child and the Great Thousand World cannot be hidden from the Great Dao of Chaos. Moreover, its existence poses no threat to the Great Dao of Chaos, otherwise he would definitely have revealed it. As for the situation of others, it has little to do with us. From now on, let's hold back no more and start killing and plundering with all our might. Under the immeasurable calamity, there will only be killing and plundering."

"But Chaos also mentioned cause and effect. Won't it be dangerous for us to accumulate too many consequences?"

"Shifang, you're overthinking it. The existence of cause and effect is no longer of much use to us. After all, they are not the Chaos Dao. We need to pay a heavy price to resolve the cause and effect of the Chaos Dao, but do those cause and effect require such caution? In the face of absolute power, all cause and effect can be erased! Slaughter is the root of everything. As long as you have enough power to annihilate all enemies, all cause and effect will be erased. This is the true intention of the Chaos Dao." "Hiss! What a brilliant scheme of the Chaos Dao. He truly doesn't need to interfere in anything in the Primordial World. With just these words, everything will change. The Chaos Dao wants to take revenge on the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, as well as Pangu. Don't be fooled by his unwillingness to intervene in this immeasurable calamity; every word he utters will have a significant impact."

“That’s right, Darkness. Think about it. In order to sever the karmic ties with us, the Chaos Dao can hunt us down in the Chaos to eliminate the karmic ties. But the Chaos Dao has no grudge against the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons and Pangu. You would believe that if I told you. Now that there is such a great opportunity, with just one word, he can put these enemies under tremendous pressure and danger. Naturally, he will not let it go.”

Xiao Sheng shook his head as he spoke. Was he the only one who saw through the scheme of the Chaos Dao? No, all three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons saw through it, but it was useless for them to see through it. This was not a conspiracy, but a well-intentioned open scheme. Even if the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons knew, they were powerless to change it, because they all had their own selfish motives. Therefore, the slaughter in the prehistoric world was inevitable.

What is the grand trend of heaven and earth? This is the grand trend of heaven and earth. Even if Pangu, the three thousand chaotic gods and demons, and a group of Primordial Golden Immortals were dissatisfied, they were powerless to stop it. The theory of human nature forced them to admit it. Since it is human nature that drives everything in the primordial world, and even the immeasurable calamities are caused by their human nature, it is enough to prove how terrifying and horrifying the darkness in their hearts is. Under such circumstances, they naturally would not consider others!

"My Lord, let's still go hunt down the Chaos Beasts and plunder their origins. However, this time, with the appearance of the Chaos Dao, I sensed that the aura of those Chaos Beasts had become much stronger. Could it be that the Chaos Dao is intentionally enhancing the power of these Chaos Beasts to cleanse all living beings in the world and hasten the destruction of the Primordial World?"

"No, you're wrong. That wasn't a gift from the Great Dao of Chaos, but a reflection of the world's philosophy of life. Before everything was exposed, everyone harbored a sliver of hope, especially the weak. They all expected a strong person to step in and protect them. But the Great Dao of Chaos's words shattered all their expectations. Do you think they wouldn't harbor evil thoughts under these circumstances? The concept of human nature has directly caused the situation in this primordial world to spiral out of control. What we're facing next isn't just chaotic beasts, but also three thousand chaotic gods and demons."

At this point, Xiao Sheng paused slightly, then continued, "I've always had a question in my mind: could the Chaos Dao's description of the Chaos Beasts hide more secrets? After all, I always have a strange feeling about the Chaos Beasts. And have you ever thought about why only the Chaos Beasts he created have the opportunity to transform and evolve into Primordial Golden Immortals, while the Chaos Beasts that evolved later in life have lost this ability and are left with only instincts?"

“My Lord, you suspect that this Chaos Beast holds a great secret, but the Great Dao of Chaos has not revealed it. Moreover, Pangu may also know this secret, which is why the Great God Pangu has been hunting Chaos Beasts in the Chaos!” At this moment, the Ten Directions Daoist was astonished, after all, such a thought was too crazy.

"That's exactly what I suspect. After all, everything is too abnormal. His explanation seems flawless, but the more flawed it seems, the more it proves there's something wrong. Perhaps he's hiding all this because he doesn't want more people to know. Even Pangu hasn't come forward to explain. I'm afraid he doesn't want more people to compete with him for this benefit!"

It sounds crazy, but upon closer examination, it seems quite plausible. After all, in the immeasurable eons, all living beings in the world will face slaughter and the threat of death. If the chaotic beasts possess great secrets, naturally the fewer people who know them, the better. This is the best choice, both for themselves and for the greater good of the world. Truth is held only by a minority!
"My Lord, we should continue to split up. A few people are already watching us. If we attack separately, I fear we'll be caught off guard and might even find ourselves in dire straits. If I'm not mistaken, Yang Mei and Shi Chen have already detected the threat from Dao Zheng. Given the chance, those two will definitely attack us!" The Dark King sighed softly. As the Time God-Demon, Shi Chen had already set his sights on the Dark King, especially after those words from the Chaos Dao. The Dark King could clearly sense a death threat emanating from the void—the hidden Shi Chen!

"The struggle for the Dao is a topic we cannot avoid, and it is also a topic that all living beings in the entire prehistoric world cannot avoid. You don't think that this struggle for the Dao only happens to you. If I'm not mistaken, even those Primordial Golden Immortals have the struggle for the Dao. This time, the appearance of Chaos has directly brought the crisis to the forefront!"

Although everyone understands the calculations of the Chaos Dao, understanding is useless; it is something no one can stop, and something everyone must face. If the immeasurable calamity is guided by order, the damage will naturally be lessened. However, under disordered guidance, everything will develop into chaos. This will be a bloodbath, with countless lives falling in pools of blood, becoming nourishment for the great forces of heaven and earth, propelling them forward at an accelerated pace!
When Chaos laid bare the greatest dangers of the immeasurable eons, it forced everyone to abandon their past illusions and fight and kill. Once the killing began, it was unstoppable. Perhaps only when the primordial world was destroyed would everything come to an end, but no one knew when it would stop.

At this moment, the primordial world quickly fell into silence. This was the calm before the storm. Countless beings were making their final preparations and planning for the worst. They all wanted to fight to the death. This situation put considerable pressure on the Great Dao of the Primordial World. It could feel the lament of the primordial world's origin and its rejection. After all, the arrival of chaos was the greatest crisis for the primordial world. Without the restraint of order, it was only natural for the entire world to head towards destruction, and it was something that no one could stop!
