I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1461 Worry
Chapter 1441 Worries

Although the words spoken by Pangu's past self were somewhat harsh, they were the truth. With Yang Mei and Shi Chen's current strength, let alone facing the threat from that mysterious power, they wouldn't have a guaranteed victory even against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Their attempt to shed their skin had not only failed but had also damaged themselves. While the chaos might allow them to recover their original essence, it wasn't as simple as just recovering their essence; it was a matter of life and death!
“Fellow Daoist Pangu, what you say makes some sense. We did make the wrong choice this time, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get everything back. You should know that every Chaos God or Demon has its trump cards, and we are no exception!” Although he was a little annoyed, Immortal Yangmei remained calm and confident in the face of everything.

Pangu's past self nodded and said, "Indeed, I admit you're right. But in my view, it's not that you made the wrong choice, but that you lost your courage. You forgot that when facing difficulties and dangers, the determination to forge ahead is more important; retreating will only hasten your death. You have indeed developed a desire to retreat. Now you've come to see me not because you've regained your resolve, but because you want to get some information from me. If you continue with this attitude, I can only say that you are already walking step by step toward death. Even if you learn more secrets, it won't be of any use! In countless eons, attitude is more important, and resolve trumps everything."

At this moment, Shi Chen sighed, "Fellow Daoist Pangu, we understand what you're saying, but many things aren't as simple as we can control. We are not you; we don't have that kind of foundation. Back then, we were all deceived by you. You weren't actually nurturing the Heart of the Great Dao; it wasn't prepared for us. It was your own scheme, your own plan. You obtained everything and mastered secrets we didn't understand. How can we compare to you?"

“Shichen, if that’s how you think, then I have nothing to say. Complaining is useless. In countless eons, if you want to survive to the end and see the opportunity appear, you can only rely on your own strength. No external force will be of any use to you. Without absolute strength, even if an opportunity is placed in front of you, it will be of no use. You will not be able to seize the opportunity.”

At this point, Pangu's past self paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What do you think this chaotic world is? What do you think that edge resemble? Perhaps you do have guesses, but you are unwilling to believe your own guesses. You want to get a better answer, and you harbor a sliver of fantasy. However, I can tell you that the more you do this, the more miserable your final fate will be. Relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself. The primordial world will eventually be destroyed, and the primordial world needs the barriers of the world to stop the erosion of chaos. This chaotic world may also be the same."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Yangmei's expression changed, as if he had thought of something. He said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Pangu, are you saying that the edge of this chaotic world is the invasion from the outside world, or even the destruction of the world? The chaotic world also has life, and the world also has an end and a destiny?"

Pangu turned back and nodded, saying, "Just as you thought, this is my suspicion and conjecture. That's why I've been waiting here for the right opportunity. Only by making full preparations and thinking everything through can we obtain everything we want when the opportunity arises."

"I think I understand. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist!" At this moment, Immortal Yangmei nodded, his eyes showing a mixture of solemnity and joy. Yes, he had obtained the information he wanted from the Great God Pangu, and he now had a plan.

Before Shichen could speak, Yangmei Immortal took the initiative and said, "Shichen, let's go. Don't disturb Fellow Daoist Pangu here. The opportunities here have nothing to do with us. Even if they were given to us, we wouldn't be able to obtain them. Our opportunity lies in the Primordial World. This place is not something we can get our hands on!"

Although he had many doubts in his heart, Shi Chen did not ask. He also had some guesses in his heart, so he nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said to Pangu's past self, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Pangu. We will remember this kindness and will repay it if we have the opportunity. I just don't know if there will be such a possibility in the future!"

As he spoke, Shi Chen shook his head and followed Yang Mei Daxian away. Watching the two figures leave, Pangu's past self also shook his head. He had done all the guidance he needed to give. Now it was up to Shi Chen and Yang Mei to decide their own fate. If they hadn't made that "golden cicada shedding its shell" scheme and hadn't severed his own original rules, perhaps they could have helped him. The three of them working together might have a better chance of success, since he didn't have absolute confidence in everything before him.

The world too has its destiny. Perhaps the chaotic world's destiny is running out, which is why the Great Dao of Chaos gave birth to three thousand chaotic gods and demons, seeking to perfect itself by borrowing their power, thus giving rise to its own existence. As for the chaotic beasts, perhaps they are related to this teetering area on the brink of destruction, and to the power behind it. Shaking his head, clearing his mind of these thoughts, Pangu's past self focused his attention on the devastated area before him, on observing it, and on gathering his own power, waiting for the opportune moment! Regardless of the Great Dao of Chaos's schemes, or any changes in the world, as long as the opportunity he awaits arrives, it will be his chance to fight back, his moment to unleash that world-shaking strike!
With Pangu's recovery, the chaotic world returned to peace, but the flames of war in the primordial world reignited. After waiting for a long time and seeing that things had not deteriorated to the worst and the army of chaotic beasts had not gone mad, some people finally could not bear it and launched another killing spree. For most beings in the primordial world, the great battle between Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu in the chaos was not important; improving their own strength was the most important thing. Whether Xiao Sheng lived or died was none of their concern. Even if there were problems, there would be those who cared to stop them.

In the current situation, many people have realized that those who truly care about this battle are the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, those Primordial Golden Immortals who have evolved from the King of Chaos Beasts. Xiao Sheng's battle with Henggu has the greatest impact on them and the least impact on the beings of the Primordial World. They are not Xiao Sheng and do not have so many calculations.

"War has reignited, slaughter has resumed. I wonder what's going on with that guy Shifang, whether he's found the Child of Immortality, and what's happening in the Chaos World. I'm always worried. After all, this has all come on too fast. The battle has reached this point, and those guys are still holding back. No one has made a move yet. I wonder how long they plan to wait, and what the Chaos Beast Army will do next. Everything is developing in an unknown direction, and everything has exceeded my previous expectations! Does the Primordial World really not care about this great war, or its impact?" The Dark King sighed as he spoke, his gaze falling on Pangu's future self. Unfortunately, he saw no change in Taiyi's eyes; the other seemed like a stone statue!
The battle had reached this point, and Heng Gu was covered in wounds, his aura was weakening, yet no one made a move. Xiao Sheng's aura was also fluctuating. After all, this battle was extraordinary. Even though Xiao Sheng had seen through everything and thought of a way to deal with it, such a fierce battle was still taking a huge toll on him!
The power of the Sword of Termination was constantly unleashing terrifying power, continuously causing damage to Heng Gu's body. With each wound, Heng Gu's aura changed. It seemed that his aura was constantly weakening, but Xiao Sheng dared not be careless in the slightest, because there was a power in this guy's body that made even him tremble. It was an extremely terrifying destructive power, as if it would unleash endless destruction as soon as it was activated!
Is this the most terrifying instinctive power of the Chaos Beast King? Xiao Sheng was also pondering this question, but unfortunately, no one could give him an answer. It was precisely because he could sense the existence of this power that Xiao Sheng dared not kill him. He was worried that if he directly ended Heng Gu's life, this power would be detonated. Even if he had the strongest confidence, he was not confident that he could escape unscathed in the face of such power!

Xiao Sheng's battle with Heng Gu was about comprehending the Great Dao and testing the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons and those Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals. He would not kill Heng Gu and put himself in danger before these guys intervened.

"Damn it, I have a feeling that Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu are deliberately targeting us. Both of them are holding back. What are they trying to do? Could it be that these two guys reached some kind of agreement during the great battle?" Seeing that there was still no result, the God of Destiny was getting a little anxious, because the calamity energy in the world was getting denser and denser. If this continued, the calamity energy in the world would accumulate more and more, and the situation would be very unfavorable to him!
Should I have an exchange with the God of Karma and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and join forces with them to participate in this great battle, forcing Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu to decide the victor and fight to the death? But if I do this, will I fall into their trap? Will they ambush me? Their behavior seems rather abnormal!
Now, it's not just the Gods and Demons of Destiny who are anxious; all the other beings watching the battle are also anxious. Whether it's the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons or the Primordial Golden Immortals, they are all somewhat anxious because the situation in the Primordial World has changed. The beings of the Primordial World have begun to take action. They are no longer paying attention to the battle between Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu in the Chaos. They are eagerly slaying the army of Chaos Beasts and devouring the origins of the Chaos Beasts to enhance their own combat power.

Strength is the foundation of everything. Only by becoming strong can one have more opportunities and seize a chance to survive in this immeasurable calamity. However, to enhance one's strength, one needs to make a choice: either wait for the battle between Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu to end and learn more about the Great Dao from them, or directly take action and carve out a bloody path of one's own.

Unfortunately, none of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons or the Primordial Golden Immortals did this. They all wanted to wait for the right opportunity, but whether they could wait was another matter. After all, time waits for no one, and perhaps by the time the opportunity appeared, they would have already lost everything. The Ten Directions Daoist returned from the Chaos, and Yang Mei Immortal and Shi Chen also made their decision and were heading towards the Primordial World. Perhaps these guys placed more of their hopes on the Chaos World, on that edge of Chaos.

Unfortunately, no one knew what these guys were thinking. After all, each of them had their own schemes and trump cards, but none of them wanted to be the first to act, nor did they want to get involved in the great battle between Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu. They preferred to wait for everything to end, and for Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu to fight to the death.

What is the Great Dao of Chaos waiting for? He guided the Ten Directions Daoists to find the Great Immortal Yang Mei in the chaos. In this battle, will he guide Xiao Sheng to destroy Heng Gu, or will he intervene to influence the outcome of this battle?

Time was passing by, and as the flames of war continued to spread, more and more people would be unable to resist joining the great battle. After all, the threat of the Chaos Beast Army was now in plain sight. To maintain balance, it was necessary to stabilize the origin of the Primordial World. The origin of the Great Dao of the Primordial World could not last long. Once the great battle began, the damage to the Primordial World would become increasingly greater and more terrifying. When the origin of the Primordial World could no longer withstand it, the world would collapse, triggering the boundless calamity energy of heaven and earth in the immeasurable calamity, which would impact and affect all living beings!
"To wait or not to wait? If I continue to wait like this, the opportunity will slip away bit by bit. Although the army of chaotic beasts in the primordial world is as numerous as hairs on a cow, under such slaughter, there will eventually come a moment when they are all completely annihilated. Once the army of chaotic beasts erupts, perhaps everything will be destroyed!" With a soft sigh, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's heart was in turmoil. His mood was extremely heavy. After all, at this point in the great battle, many things were changing, and everything was developing in a direction he did not want to see. If things continued like this, he did not know how much longer he could hold on, nor how much longer others could hold on. If something went wrong, all his calculations might become a joke! Opportunity knocks but once, and time is running out!
