I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1437 Parting ways
Chapter 1417 Parting Ways

"What a Xiao Sheng! What a Dark King! Truly treacherous and cunning! Yang Mei has only just perished, and this guy is already calculating the time again, and he's succeeded! Not only has the time been manipulated, but almost every powerful cultivator of the Great Dao of Time in the Primordial World, capable of sensing the Dao struggle, has been outmaneuvered by him." When he saw the explosion cause the very essence of the Primordial World to tremble, the God of Destiny sighed deeply. Everything was beyond his control. He had thought he could gather the strength of everyone to protect himself in this immeasurable calamity, but now it seemed he had been overconfident. The enemy was far more terrifying and horrifying than he had imagined; these guys would stop at nothing to achieve their goals!
Hehe, only the God of Destiny thinks this way. If he were to voice his thoughts, he would surely be met with a barrage of curses. Nobody is a fool. This is an immeasurable calamity. As long as we can kill the opponent, devour their original rules, and strengthen our own power, what means are we not allowed to use? When it comes to enemies, no matter how insidious or vicious the means, they are the norm!
What is the Immeasurable Calamity? The Great Dao of Chaos has already explained it clearly: it is a life-or-death struggle, the end of all cause and effect. As long as one can kill the enemy and settle karmic debts, even the most insidious and ruthless methods are acceptable. There is no need to feel uneasy about it; a dead enemy is the best enemy. In this calamity of no return, no one cares about the thoughts of others. They have only one thought in their minds: slaughter and destruction!
"Fate, we can no longer sit idly by and wait for our doom. If we continue to wait like this, we will only lose everything. Some people have already lost patience, and there is no need for us to continue waiting either, or we will only watch our opportunities slip away!" Faced with such an astonishing change, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou no longer wanted to wait or endure. Slaughter was the root of everything, and destruction was the crisis they had to face. Waiting was only a dead end!
“Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, I understand your feelings and your thoughts, but are you sure that the first bird to stick its head out will survive in the end? Look at Yang Mei’s fate. You don’t think you can surpass Yang Mei’s Dao level, do you? Even as a Space God-Demon, he ended up dying and his soul was annihilated. Are you sure you can survive if you enter the game at this time?”

Seeing the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's restless actions, the God of Destiny sighed inwardly. However, he understood that if he agreed to this guy's proposal at this time, they would be directly drawn into the great war. Facing countless enemies, he was not confident that he could escape unscathed. After all, this was a brutal massacre, and no matter how strong an individual was, they would still be hunted down.

When the God of Destiny mentioned Yang Mei, the God of Space, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou frowned. He was indeed anxious and eager to participate in the killing and plundering. However, he also understood that the God of Destiny was right. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and it was too dangerous to enter the game at this time.

"Fellow Daoist Destiny, what you say makes some sense, but don't you think waiting is also a silent death, just a later one? I think Fellow Daoist Rahu is right. We really can't wait any longer. The full-scale outbreak of the immeasurable calamity will be all about killing and plundering, the very foundation of survival. If we keep enduring, it will only wear down our spirit and morale. In the great calamity, there is no retreat, only advance; one step back means death and destruction!" The God and Demon of Cause and Effect stood up to support the Demon Ancestor Rahu. Although Great Immortal Yangmei had already died and his soul had dissipated, this was not a reason for them to endure or to be afraid.

When the God of Cause and Effect stepped forward, the God of Destiny did not immediately object. Instead, he turned his gaze to Hongjun Daozu, the God of Creation, and said in a deep voice, "Hongjun Daozu, what do you think we should do? The Immeasurable Calamity has fully erupted, and the death of Fellow Daoist Yang Mei has already set off a frenzied massacre. Everyone is restless! Now even the King of Darkness and Xiao Sheng have made their move, and their target is Shichen, the God of Time!"

Taking a deep breath, Hongjun Daozu said, "Fate, do you think we still need to endure? Under such circumstances, if we are afraid and do not fight, we will only waste time and wear down our morale. Although we cannot completely believe in the teachings of the Chaos Dao, we cannot do nothing either. Let's make our move and join this slaughter. However, our target is not the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, but those Primordial Golden Immortals and those Chaos Beasts! I always feel that the existence of these guys is a threat; they are the henchmen of the Chaos Dao."

“Fellow Daoist Hongjun, are you still worried that the Great Dao of Chaos is lying? He is not doing nothing, but rather he wants to wipe us all out and reap the benefits!” Upon hearing the words of Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, the God of Destiny immediately understood what he was thinking.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. Don't be fooled by his nice words and his decisive retreat. The more he does that, the more worried I become. Pangu is also our biggest threat, but he won't attack us easily. As for the other Chaos Gods and Demons, let's wait and see before making a decision!"

Upon hearing Hongjun Daozu's words, the God of Destiny, the God of Karma, and the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou all sighed. They shared the same worry, but none of them wanted to be the first to voice it. They feared that if they spoke out, they would incur the wrath of the Chaos Dao, or even be targeted by it. When the Chaos Dao decided to eliminate all threats, it would inevitably target those who exposed everything. Hongjun Daozu's actions, however, left them somewhat puzzled.

As fellow chaotic gods and demons, they understood each other very well. With Hongjun's wisdom, it was impossible for him not to see through this. Yet, he did just that anyway. Although they were glad that someone had spoken out about all this, when they actually faced it, they still felt some resentment and worry.

This is the inherent suspicion among the chaotic gods and demons. Although they are all chaotic gods and demons, they all have their own selfish motives and calculations. Don't be fooled by their alliance; they don't truly trust each other. They are all wary, fearing they might be outmaneuvered. This is an immeasurable calamity; if they are outmaneuvered, they will be in grave danger!
Hongjun Daozu naturally understood these guys' thoughts. It was precisely because of this conflict that he so readily admitted everything, making them uneasy and worried. No matter how he explained, they wouldn't believe him and would remain vigilant, thus saving him considerable trouble!
"Heh, do you think I don't know what you guys are thinking? If I didn't do this, how could I alleviate my own pressure? Only by doing this will you not dare to act rashly, giving me more time and energy to deal with any possible dangers!" Hongjun Daozu looked at the group with an unchanged expression, inwardly sneering with disdain! This is human nature, this is human nature. For their own interests and safety, there is nothing they wouldn't do!

"Hongjun, are you doubting Pangu?" At this moment, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou asked, his eyes flashing with divine light, as if he had thought of something, with a faint sense of vigilance and unease!

"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, although we cooperated with Fellow Daoist Pangu to evolve the Primordial World, you should understand that Fellow Daoist Pangu did not trust us. Even though Fellow Daoists Destiny and Karma reached a new cooperation agreement with Fellow Daoist Pangu, you know what the result was. We know very little about the gestation of the Great Dao Heart, and we don't even know about the Taiyi that Fellow Daoist Pangu's obsession transformed into, let alone the final evolution of the Primordial Great Dao from the Great Dao Heart. Do you think Fellow Daoist Pangu is still worthy of our trust under such circumstances? You have heard what the Chaos Great Dao said: the Immeasurable Calamity will be a reckoning of karma, a bloodbath that will never end. Shouldn't Fellow Daoist Pangu be someone we are wary of?" As soon as Hongjun Daozu said this, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's expression changed again and again. He had indeed thought of all this, but he did not expect Hongjun Daozu to say it so decisively, which made his opinion of Hongjun Daozu change again.

Not only was Demon Ancestor Luo Hou shocked, but the God of Cause and Effect and the God of Destiny also sensed the changes in Hongjun Daozu. In such a short time, Hongjun Daozu had undergone such a great change, which made them all wary. Pangu did need to be guarded against, but Hongjun Daozu's performance was so intense that they had to be even more vigilant!

"Alright, I understand what you three are thinking. Our cooperation is only temporary, and none of us truly trust each other. So, it's best to be frank and lay everything out in the open, as this will put us all at ease. I don't know what you're thinking, but with Xiao Sheng and the Dark King's intervention, the entire Primordial World will descend into chaos. Other cultivators won't wait any longer; a massacre is inevitable. The reason I haven't taken the initiative isn't out of fear, but because I want to find Xiao Sheng's whereabouts. I cultivate the Great Dao of Creation, and if I can obtain Xiao Sheng's Life Dao Origin, I will undoubtedly advance even further."

Good heavens, Hongjun Daozu is truly straightforward! He actually revealed his plans directly. This change left the God of Destiny, the God of Karma, and the Demon Ancestor Rahu exchanging bewildered glances, hardly believing their ears. When did Hongjun Daozu trust them, his 'fellow Daoists,' so much that he would reveal his thoughts and plans so directly?
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, what are your plans? I feel uneasy about your trust in me. We don't have such a good relationship. What you've done makes me a little worried!" Faced with this situation, the God of Destiny did not hesitate and directly expressed his thoughts. For these Chaos Gods and Demons, concealment was useless, especially since the God of Destiny and Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had a great deal of understanding of each other.

"Hahaha! I knew you fellow Daoists wouldn't be at ease, and I understand your thoughts. Actually, it's very simple. I'm not worried about your sabotage, nor am I worried about any danger. Fellow Daoist Pangu's strength is there for all to see, and you all know how crazy Xiao Sheng and the Dark King are. Under these circumstances, a little analysis will make it clear where things are headed!"

Seeing Hongjun Daozu's confident demeanor, Demon Ancestor Luohou nodded and sighed, "Indeed, you are still the Hongjun I know. Now I can rest assured and don't need to be on guard. You are right, the current situation is about to spiral out of control. Under such circumstances, we are familiar with each other and can understand each other to some extent. Next, we will have to act separately. Even if you don't say it, I know that we both have selfish motives and different calculations. It's better to go our separate ways!"

At this point, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou paused slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Fellow Daoists, I will go first to avoid any suspicion between us, so that none of us can act without restraint. There is no need for us to act together anymore. If possible, it would be best if we could lend a helping hand to each other when conditions permit!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou is right. In fact, their cooperation has reached this point, and it is indeed time to part ways. Continuing will only make them feel uneasy and waste energy on guarding against other people's sneak attacks and schemes. Even though Hongjun Daozu has made everything clear, everyone understands that the more things are like this, the more they need to part ways. This is Hongjun Daozu's purpose!

"Alright, then I wish Fellow Daoist Luo Hou all his wishes come true and he will achieve great success!" Daoist Ancestor Hongjun did not hesitate and nodded in agreement. His expression remained as natural as ever, as if all of this was within his expectations!

"Indeed, it's time to part ways. Continuing to cooperate will only lead to conflict. After all, we each have our own calculations and plans, and there's no need to waste any more energy. I hope you fellow Daoists can remember our previous cooperation and help others when you can. This is an immeasurable calamity. Even if we part ways and act independently, we still need 'friends,' otherwise we will inevitably be surrounded and killed, without even the ability to protect ourselves. I believe no one wants to face such a situation!"

At this moment, the God of Destiny nodded in agreement. He understood that if he dared to refuse, he would be courting death. Not to mention whether Hongjun Daozu and the others would launch a sneak attack, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't encounter danger in the future. When danger came, who could he rely on? Without the help of his comrades, death would be the simplest thing in the world.
