I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1468 The Heart to Kill
Chapter 1448 A Killing Intent Stirred
"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, how do you intend to carve a bloody path through? By sacrificing our lives? Have you considered the dire consequences of our proactive attack at this moment? This is an immeasurable calamity; we cannot afford any mistakes!" At this moment, the voice of the God of Destiny turned sinister. In his view, Luo Hou was acting solely for his own selfish desires, completely disregarding their lives. If he succeeded, Luo Hou would reap enormous benefits, but the three of them would only pay a heavy price!
"Heh, Fate, is this what you think? In your eyes, I am so despicable and shameless, so foolish. If that's the case, then our cooperation can end. Since we don't trust each other, there's no point in cooperating anymore; it will only make us a laughingstock." At this moment, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was unwilling to continue persuading. He didn't want to waste his precious time. If he couldn't communicate with the Fate God, the Karma God, and the Hongjun Dao Ancestor, it was better to part ways!

When Demon Ancestor Luo Hou uttered these words, the expressions of the God of Destiny, the God of Karma, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun changed drastically. This was not the result they wanted. Despite their repeated denials of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, they were unwilling to see him leave like this, since Luo Hou's combat power was something they all needed!

“Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, don’t rush into a decision. We also need to consider the gains and losses. We can’t make a decision on a whim. I admit there’s some truth to what you said, but this attack is risking our lives. We can’t be too cautious. You can’t part ways because of a momentary impulse. You said Fellow Daoist Destiny doesn’t trust you. We both know what the other is thinking. For us, ‘trust’ is a very heavy thing. Our agreement was that we could help each other as long as our own safety wasn’t threatened. Do you think that threatens our safety now?”

Upon seeing that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was about to part ways, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had no choice but to step forward and persuade them. If Demon Ancestor Luo Hou were to leave their team in a moment of impulsiveness, it would be a huge loss for all three of them. After all, among the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, there are not many who can come together. In such a dangerous immeasurable calamity, losing one person means losing one bit of strength and one bit of danger.

Demon Ancestor Rahu said dismissively, "Hongjun, you know in your heart what kind of environment we are in now. Do you think that by simply avoiding danger, we can truly make it to the end and survive the immeasurable calamities? I don't believe you are unaware of the schemes of the other chaotic gods and demons. They all have backup plans in the chaos, but do you and I have such backup plans? Furthermore, if we don't fight our way out now and improve our combat power, do you think we will still have a chance in the long run? Opportunity knocks but once. If you don't even understand this, then is there any point in continuing this discussion?"

When the immeasurable calamity realized that things had reached this point, Demon Ancestor Rahu did not think it was a good thing to continue to endure. Opportunities are created by fighting, and paths are also forged through fighting. If one does not even have this much determination, there is no hope at all. This is the difference between Demon Ancestor Rahu and the God of Destiny, the God of Cause and Effect, and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Demon Ancestor Rahu did not want to give up the opportunity, but the other three wanted to seek stability. Under such circumstances, what stability is there to speak of!

In an instant, Hongjun Daozu's heart trembled. Yes, Demon Ancestor Luohou was right. The situation had reached this point, so what was the point of talking about stability? If they couldn't fight their way out, no matter how much they hid, they were only delaying their own death. In the immeasurable calamity, strength was the foundation of everything. Without killing, how could their strength improve?
"I understand what you mean. Indeed, we've been overthinking things and forgotten that the most fundamental thing in the immeasurable eons is strength. Without the improvement of strength, how can we survive? Alright, I agree to your suggestion!" As he thought all this through, Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt his heart trembling and undergoing changes. After all, this was an improvement in his state of mind!
"Hongjun, do you know what you're saying?" Upon hearing these words from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the God of Destiny's eyes were filled with doubt. He couldn't understand why Dao Ancestor Hongjun would so quickly side with Demon Ancestor Luohou. Could it be that these two had been prepared all along, which is why they made such a choice at this moment?

As if seeing through the thoughts of the God of Destiny, Hongjun Daozu smiled calmly and said, "Fellow Daoist Destiny, you cultivate the Great Dao of Destiny and have always wanted to control destiny. But do you think that this immeasurable calamity is within our control? Do we have the ability to control everything? Just as Fellow Daoist Luohou said, the immeasurable calamity is where strength reigns supreme. Without sufficient strength, we have no chance of survival. Where does this strength come from? Naturally, it comes from fighting our way out. If we don't make a move, someone else will. Strike first and you'll be strong; strike later and you'll suffer. For our own safety, this is the best decision!"

"Hahaha, good, Hongjun, you really haven't disappointed me. You can see through the current situation and understand how Xiao Sheng got to where he is today. Was it just through cultivation? No, he fought his way up, but you all overlooked that because you always treated him as an ant. After he soared to the top, you all chose to ignore everything he had paid for. Have you all forgotten how he was called a madman?" The words of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou startled Hongjun and the others.

Yes, they all overlooked Xiao Sheng's growth. Xiao Sheng's journey to where he is today is not due to luck, but to his strength. He has carved out his own bloody path step by step!
"You're right. We all underestimated Xiao Sheng. We were all too arrogant and self-righteous, forgetting that there's no such thing as luck in the Primordial World. Everything is earned through strength. That's true for us today, and it's also true for Xiao Sheng. Now, if we want to go further, we can only take risks!" The God of Destiny quickly realized that he had indeed been too cautious. This was an immeasurable calamity. No matter how careful they were, they would still have to face the final battle. At that time, everything would depend on strength. The other Chaos Gods and Demons all had backup plans in the chaos, but they didn't. They had gambled everything on the Primordial World back then!

"Indeed, if it weren't for Fellow Daoist Luo Hou's rebuke, we probably wouldn't have realized that it has all been our own fault. We have been too cautious. Strength is earned through fighting, not by hiding. The great calamity has already erupted. If we want to seize a sliver of survival in this immeasurable calamity, everything depends on our strength!" The God and Demon of Karma finally came to their senses. Why did they have such a misunderstanding? Although neither the God and Demon of Destiny nor the God and Demon of Karma mentioned it, they both knew in their hearts that this was the effect of the karma of heaven and earth, or the calculation of the Great Dao of Chaos.

They wouldn't believe it if the Great Dao of Chaos were truly selfless. No one knew better than them how terrifying and insidious the Great Dao of Chaos was. In its eyes, these three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons were merely nourishment. Despite the kind words the Great Dao of Chaos had spoken before, they wouldn't believe them; they only believed what they saw and what they experienced.

Pangu remained wary of the Chaos Dao because he understood its terrifying and insidious nature. Even the Chaos Dao's words did not lessen his vigilance. The immeasurable calamity had erupted; to survive it, one must fight, constantly absorbing the enemy's essence to increase one's own strength. Otherwise, certain death awaits. Even Xiao Sheng saw through this, yet they failed; the reasons for this are self-evident.

"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, although we agree with your assessment, killing must be prepared. The God of Death is already trapped. We have no idea what kind of insidious and vicious traps those Chaos Beast Kings have laid, nor do we know how many of them there are. If there are too many of them, the four of us alone will not be able to fight our way out, and may even lose our lives! The Origin of Death is very tempting, but we cannot act rashly. We are impatient, but there are others who are even more impatient than us." Dao Ancestor Hongjun advised Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. Although he himself also longed to take the initiative and seize the initiative, safety was still the most important thing.

Even if one intends to unleash a frenzied massacre, preparation is essential. At the very least, one must identify their targets and assess the enemy's strength. To attack rashly without any knowledge is not to seize the initiative, but to court destruction. The more crucial the moment, the more cautious and impulsive one must be. Because once they take that step, there is no turning back; no one will become their friend, only their rivals!

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou naturally knew this as well. The reason he angrily rebuked Hongjun Daozu and the others was to make him understand that in this immeasurable calamity, one cannot have the heart to retreat, much less seek stability. Only by taking a risky approach can one have a glimmer of hope. If one blindly seeks stability, only death awaits him in the end!
As a god of destruction, Demon Ancestor Rahu's perception of the immeasurable calamity was clearer than that of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the God of Destiny, and the God of Cause and Effect. He could vaguely sense the rage of this immeasurable calamity and feel the pressure emanating from the chaotic world. What power caused all this? Naturally, it was the Great Dao of Chaos. The Great Dao of Chaos was far more terrifying and dangerous than he had imagined!

"Actually, I also have an idea. They can set traps to scheme against the Death Gods and Demons, and even against our three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons. Why don't we do the opposite and scheme against them? Now that the Death Gods and Demons have entered the game, I believe the Chaos Gods and Demons who cultivate the Great Dao of Death are definitely in those traps, and there may even be more Chaos Gods and Demons in the Chaos Battlefield. Since the Chaos Beast army has moved, why don't we launch a massacre and eliminate their henchmen first? As long as we don't actively enter the game, I believe no one will attack us. After all, we've moved from the shadows to the front lines; sometimes, being a little high-profile is a good choice!"

When Demon Ancestor Luo Hou uttered these words, the God of Destiny, the God of Karma, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun were all shocked. They had not expected that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's plan was completely different from what they had thought. This guy did not want to directly charge into the Chaos Battlefield to seize the Origin of Death, but wanted to slaughter those Chaos Beast armies. Unless those Chaos Beast Kings could ignore the death of these armies, they would have to walk out of the Chaos Battlefield!

Turning a passive situation into an active one is a good plan. If it succeeds, the danger they face will be much smaller. Enemies hidden in the shadows are very scary, but they don't need to worry about enemies when they face each other. Unless they can trigger a full-scale war, they will be safer, provided that they have enough power!

"Good, I also think this plan is excellent. Pangu is already ambushing those chaotic beast armies in the chaos, and we should also take the initiative to fight for all living beings in the prehistoric world and strive for a glimmer of hope for them. Even if we have to pay a great price, it's worth it!" Good heavens, Dao Ancestor Hongjun really hasn't forgotten his former status. Even at this moment, he doesn't forget to find a 'suitable' reason for himself, no matter how absurd and ridiculous it may sound. But having a reason is much better than having no reason. At least he has a reason to justify his actions and can hypnotize himself!

Regarding Hongjun Daozu's words, Demon Ancestor Luohou smiled indifferently and did not expose his hypocrisy. Similarly, the God of Destiny and the God of Cause and Effect also turned a blind eye to all of this, pretending not to hear it, and letting Hongjun Daozu hypnotize himself there!
Of course, this is not entirely self-hypnosis. There is also a calculation, which is to gain the recognition of the origin of the primordial world and to borrow a little power from the origin of the primordial world. For the three of them, even a little bit of the origin of the primordial world can change their own destiny. After all, they have all mastered the order of the primordial world, so they are the easiest to master the power of the rules of the primordial world and the easiest to borrow the power of the primordial world to fight against enemies!

However, these words could not be spoken aloud, as that would alert the Primordial World and jeopardize their plans. After all, the Primordial World of today was no longer the one they knew; it possessed its own consciousness and thoughts. Otherwise, how could the situation in the Primordial World have spiraled out of control, and how could everything have become so chaotic? Since the Primordial World was protecting itself, this was their opportunity—a chance to borrow power from it. Whether they could succeed, however, remained to be seen; everything was uncertain!
