I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1440 Confused

Chapter 1420 My Heart is in Turmoil

When the Great Dao of Chaos appeared and uttered those words, the entire Primordial World changed. After all, the Primordial World had now truly reached the peak of the Immeasurable Calamity, with all its power radiating and even all its secrets being revealed! As time goes by, the secrets of the Primordial World will be revealed, because the Primordial World has now lost its order, and even its very origin has been damaged.

First, Pangu's obsession with the primordial will of the Primordial World transformed into Taiyi and escaped. Then came the madness of the Primordial Great Dao, and of course, the escape of the God of Destiny, the God of Cause and Effect, and the God of Creation. All of this caused damage to the primordial world's origin. Otherwise, with Xiao Sheng's current strength, how could he so easily merge with the Primordial World, plunder its origin, and seize the many secrets hidden within it? If the Primordial World were at its peak, even a mere backlash would have killed Xiao Sheng, and he would have had no chance of success.

The more one understands the changes brought about by this immeasurable calamity, the more one realizes the utter cruelty and ruthlessness of this catastrophe. The saying "the Great Dao is ruthless" is entirely true. Even if countless lives are destroyed by this immeasurable calamity, the Great Dao itself remains completely unmoved. Although the Primordial Great Dao is struggling, it has already lost control of the Primordial World. It can be said that when it made the wrong choice, its path was completely severed. Don't be fooled by its current frantic struggle, its attempt to plunder the essence of all living beings to perfect itself; it's all in vain.

When Xiao Sheng merged with the origin of the primordial world, he was immediately able to see the many secrets hidden within it without any obstruction. This is the current state of the primordial world's origin, completely open to all living beings. As long as you dare to merge with the primordial world, you can obtain all its secrets. This situation shocked Xiao Sheng immensely.

When Xiao Sheng warned the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist, the beings of the Primordial World went even crazier. Although the Primordial World's origin had been fully opened, not a single being chose to merge with it. It was as if these beings were completely ignoring the Primordial World's origin. This situation puzzled Xiao Sheng. Was this a deliberate arrangement by the Immeasurable Calamity, or had all beings in the world fundamentally come to loathe the Primordial World?
Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng couldn't find the answer, and no one could answer his question. Whether the Three Thousand Chaos and the Primordial Golden Immortals knew about the current situation of the Primordial World, Xiao Sheng didn't know, but he believed that the Hongjun Dao Ancestor, the God of Destiny, the God of Cause and Effect, and the God of Creation, must know. It was just a pity that they also ignored the changes in the origin of the Primordial World. Even the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches ignored the changes in the origin of the Primordial World and were desperately killing and plundering the origin of the Chaos Beasts.

"My Lord, what is going on? Why has the origin of the primordial world become like this, defenseless against all living beings? Is this a transformation under the immeasurable calamity, or is the primordial world beginning to save itself, trying to use this method to exchange for a glimmer of hope, hoping that someone can regain control of the power of the primordial world, restore the power of order, and return everything to normal!" The Dark King said, a faint unease showing in his eyes. After all, all of this came too suddenly, and there seemed to be something wrong with it, and a big problem at that. If he was not prepared at all, he would die without a burial place!
"I don't know either, but we don't need to investigate. We only need to know that all of this is in our own best interest. Regardless of who is behind this, we just need to stabilize ourselves, quickly absorb the origin of the primordial world to improve ourselves, and forge a path to the heavens!" Xiao Sheng naturally understood how much this situation would affect the lives of the people in the primordial world, but it had nothing to do with him. If he didn't even have the chance to live to the end!
"Our Dao is still flawed. We originally thought that with the Great Thousand World perfected and the Longevity Child overseeing it, we would be worry-free. However, after absorbing the primordial rules of the Primordial World, we realized that our Great Thousand World is not perfect and still has problems. Compared to the Primordial World, it is still far behind. No wonder the Gods and Demons of Destiny, Karma, and Creation transformed into the three paths of the Primordial World, Heaven, Earth, and Man. They all wanted to perfect their own Dao from the Primordial World. I just wonder if Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, Shi Chen, Yang Mei, and others also know this secret, and whether the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons know this secret!" The Ten Directions Daoist sighed softly as he spoke. Having once evolved and ruled the Abyss World, he had a deep understanding of the Dao of the World. Therefore, upon contacting the primordial world's origin, he immediately realized the inadequacy of his own cultivation!
"Yes, this secret is too insane. If our guess is correct, Pangu and the three thousand chaotic gods and demons created the world and evolved the primordial world, but in fact, it was for their own sake, to perfect their Great Dao. The immeasurable calamity erupted in the primordial world, and the three thousand chaotic gods and demons returned. Perhaps it wasn't what we thought, nor was it the opportunity of the Great Dao Heart as it appears on the surface. The fundamental reason lies in the primordial world itself!" The Dark King couldn't help but sigh as he said this, also shocked by all of this. As the immeasurable calamity developed and as he learned more about the secrets of the primordial world, his own path was gradually becoming clearer!
"My Lord, what do you think our Dao will look like? How will we prove our Dao? Under countless eons, will we fight to the death, or will we make other arrangements?" The Ten Directions Daoist's heart was already shaken, and his thoughts had changed!

"Ten Directions, Darkness, your hearts are in turmoil. The Dao is forged through practice. Overthinking is useless. For us, whether we fight to the death or avoid battle is not the point. As long as we embark on the right path, there will surely be a result. The current primordial world, the immeasurable calamity, is, to put it bluntly, the Law of the Forest, the breeding of Gu. Whether it's the three thousand chaotic gods and demons, the chaotic ferocious beasts, or all living beings in heaven and earth, they are all just Gu in the Chaotic Great Dao. After the immeasurable calamity, the Chaotic Great Dao will inevitably transcend everything. It can be said that he guided all of this; this is his scheme!"

Although Xiao Sheng saw through everything, was it useful? Could he change the situation? No, it was useless. Seeing through everything was pointless; everything had already happened. To change the situation, his power was simply insufficient. Even with the Great Thousand World controlled by the Longevity Child, it was useless. Compared to the Primordial World, his Great Thousand World was far too weak, and compared to the Chaos Dao, the gap was unimaginable. After all, the difference in foundation was difficult to bridge. Even with the arrival of the Immeasurable Calamity, and the endless Chaos Beasts becoming nourishment, there wasn't enough time for him to complete everything!
If you choose to change your path at this time and cultivate the Great Dao of the World to perfect the Great Thousand World, you will only lead yourself to a dead end. What you are cultivating is not the Great Dao of the World. It is true that your Great Thousand World carries the Great Dao, but that is not the root. You yourself are the root of everything. The Great Thousand World is just a means for you to deal with immeasurable calamities and to accumulate your origin. If you abandon the root and pursue the branch, you will be courting your own destruction!
As soon as Xiao Sheng finished speaking, the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist were jolted awake, quickly regaining their senses. At that moment, they were both incredibly shocked, realizing that in that instant, their minds had been compromised.

"My Lord, there is a problem with the origin of the Primordial World. It has been eroded by the calamity of heaven and earth. This could not have been caused by the Primordial Great Dao. It may have been caused by Pangu's obsession, or by that Daoist Taiyi!" The Dark King said, a faint anger showing in his eyes, because this was not an accident, but a carefully set trap.

"Don't be angry. Anger won't solve anything. Even if this is a setup, so what? It's not necessarily aimed at us. We've just been caught in the crossfire. If we hadn't seen through all this, do you think we could understand Pangu or the overall situation? The Chaos Dao is untrustworthy, Pangu is untrustworthy, the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, and even all living beings in heaven and earth, are untrustworthy. If we want to transcend, we must walk our own path and hold firm to our beliefs. No matter how dangerous the road ahead, we can forge a path to heaven!"

Although Xiao Sheng's words sounded good, it would not be easy to do. After all, this was an immeasurable calamity, and most importantly, the origin of the primordial world had been eroded. This meant that it was impossible for them to fully rely on the power of the primordial world's origin to perfect their own Great Dao. If they did so, their own origin would be eroded.

"However, if we turn a blind eye, more people will be ambushed. I worry that this will strengthen the enemy. I worry that they will all eventually become our enemies. After all, the battle for the Great Dao is a fight to the death. After this immeasurable calamity, no one knows what will happen. The more we prepare, the more chances we have to survive!" The Ten Directions Daoist did not think there was anything wrong with making preparations. Only by making all preparations in advance will there be a glimmer of hope when the final battle arrives, and only then can we have the last laugh!
"No, you're overthinking it. Even if what you're saying is correct, do you think the enemy will give us that much time? Don't you think the Chaos Dao appeared a bit too early, and it's been too blatant? Everything it's done is clearly intended to intensify the carnage in the primordial world. So, the biggest problem for us is still time. Don't think we have more time to accumulate resources; that won't work. It seems like this army of chaotic beasts is everyone's best opportunity, but it's also a life-or-death struggle. We can plunder the origins of the chaotic beasts to strengthen ourselves. Do you think those chaotic beasts, while devouring our origins, might also undergo a transformation and evolution, becoming an even more terrifying existence?"

“My Lord, you are worried, but the Great Dao of Chaos has no intention of leaving any way out for all living beings in the world. He wants to wipe out all living beings in the entire Chaos World. He doesn’t want to bear the karma and be haunted by resentment, so these armies of Chaos beasts exist. The so-called karmic reckoning is just an excuse.”

"That's right, that's exactly what I'm wondering about now. After all, everything happened so suddenly, and there's a clear thread running through all of this. It all seems suspicious. We're all being led by the nose by the Chaos Dao. If we can't sever this thread, we'll unknowingly be manipulated by it and eventually become its nourishment. The struggle for the Dao is a fight to the death, a true battle to the death, with no way out for anyone. Now I understand why the Great God Pangu did what he did. Taiyi remained in the Primordial World, while he himself ambushed the army of Chaos Beasts outside the Primordial World. Those who went far away into the Chaos will probably become his past selves. Perhaps the Dao that Pangu cultivated also holds secrets we don't know!"

As more and more secrets are revealed, and as the primordial world unfolds before him, Xiao Sheng's heart is also changing. If he previously harbored a sliver of reverence for Pangu, he no longer feels that way. Pangu created the world not to create all living beings, but for his own cultivation, as did the three thousand chaotic gods and demons. Perhaps the beings of heaven and earth should be grateful to the gods and demons of life and reincarnation. If it weren't for their deaths and their origins merging into the primordial world, how could the beings of heaven and earth possibly have life, or even exist in this world!
Of course, all of this was just Xiao Sheng's speculation. He just felt that his speculation was correct. He wanted to learn more secrets from the origin of the primordial world, but the secrets related to Pangu were not so easy to obtain. Moreover, the current situation did not give Xiao Sheng such an opportunity. Although the origin of the primordial world had opened up everything, it did not mean that Xiao Sheng would be able to learn about the secrets of Pangu without any obstacles. After all, Pangu's strength was there!
"Darkness, Ten Directions, don't overthink it. Right now, let's focus on absorbing and digesting the power from the origin of the Primordial World and integrating it into ourselves. As for the immeasurable calamity, let it be. As long as we ignore it, as long as we don't care about the destruction of the Primordial World and the destruction of all living beings, even if there are many schemes behind it, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to stick to our own path and walk our own path of transcendence!"

While Xiao Sheng's words made a lot of sense, accomplishing all of this would be no easy feat. Moreover, under the immeasurable calamity, even if Xiao Sheng didn't want to be drawn into the infighting among the three thousand chaotic gods and demons, he couldn't avoid it. After all, the primordial world had changed too much, and the resulting天地之气 (heavenly energy) was somewhat problematic. If Xiao Sheng were to do this without thorough preparation, he would be in serious trouble, facing even greater pressure, and the situation could easily spiral out of control!
