I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1486 Stay or Leave
Chapter 1466 Stay or Leave
"See? Everything has already begun. We don't have much time left. Now we can be almost certain that the Chaos Beasts were arranged by that mysterious mastermind. It's just that we don't know if the Chaos Dao is involved behind the scenes. But from what we can see now, the Chaos Dao doesn't seem to have control over the Chaos Beast King." After witnessing this dramatic turn of events and hearing the conversation between Pangu and the other party, Xiao Sheng had already prepared himself for the worst. The Immeasurable Calamity had truly erupted in full force, and the final battle had begun.

Although the Great God Pangu's attitude was tough, it couldn't threaten the other side. What was bound to happen would happen; perhaps this was the inevitable trend of heaven and earth, something even the Great God Pangu couldn't stop. No matter how much preparation was made, it was all in vain before the overwhelming force of the universe. Looking at how miserable the primordial beings on those stars were, and then at the current state of the primordial world, Xiao Sheng sighed.

Once the origin of the primordial world makes its choice, and the great destruction of the primordial world begins, that will be the true decisive battle, and the center of the battlefield will be the primordial world itself. For some reason, such a crazy idea suddenly arose in Xiao Sheng's mind. Was it a guidance from his soul, or something else? This sudden thought made him frown.
"Could this be the Primordial World's reward to me?" In an instant, Xiao Sheng had this thought. Only the Primordial World's origin could influence him so silently. If the Primordial World was the final battlefield, did that mean that after the Great Destruction of the Primordial World, there would be the Great Dao of Chaos, or even what that mysterious black hand wanted most?
The origin of the primordial world already intends to strip away the heart of the world, plunging it into rapid destruction. What would remain of such a primordial world? Or perhaps, what kind of scheme did Pangu, the three thousand chaotic gods and demons, or even the Great Dao of Chaos, orchestrate within it? These questions filled Xiao Sheng's mind. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time left. Even with countless thoughts, it was useless. All he could do was stabilize himself!
"My Lord, what should we do? We're already out of the game and won't be chosen by the Primordial World. Is it necessary for us to stay here?" A faint worry appeared in the Dark King's eyes. After all, it all happened too suddenly and too dangerously. The mysterious black hand chose to make its move at this time. Even just the conversation with the Great God Pangu had a great impact on them. Not only was the Dark King worried, but just looking at how crazy the people of the Primordial World were now, one could understand the fear in their hearts.

As soon as the conversation between the Great God Pangu and the mysterious black hand was revealed, the powerful beings of the Primordial World frantically wanted to leave. But is Chaos really safe? If the Primordial World is the location of the final battle, and the greatest opportunity of the Immeasurable Calamity also lies in the Primordial World, leaving the Primordial World might be tantamount to voluntarily giving up that opportunity!

Xiao Sheng took a deep breath and said, "If possible, we should stay and risk experiencing the Great Cataclysm firsthand. This is the Great Cataclysm of the most perfect Great Thousand World, and it's happening within an immeasurable eon. You should know how immense this opportunity is. Of course, this opportunity is accompanied by danger; the slightest mistake could cost us our lives. I want to stay. The Great Cataclysm of the Primordial World will help my cultivation. The Great Dao of Life might advance further during this Great Cataclysm, after all, it's the end of all life, and the Great Dao of Ending is also related to this Great Cataclysm. Even if there's only a sliver of possibility, I can't give up. As for you and Shifang, whether you stay or not is up to you!"

"Don't rush to make a decision. There's still some time. But you must make your decision before the origin of the primordial world makes its decision. If you want to leave, you'd better get out as soon as possible."

"Leave? Why should we leave? If you won't leave, we'll stay and keep you company. Even if the primordial world is destroyed, even if death comes, it won't make us run away. Knowing that there are great opportunities in the great destruction, yet we dare not face it, what's the point of cultivation? The great destruction of the world also presents amazing opportunities for the cultivation of the Great Dao of Space!"

“That’s right, Shi Fang is right. We won’t leave. No matter how dangerous it is, we must stay. Opportunity knocks but once. Perhaps the great destruction of the primordial world under this immeasurable calamity is the greatest opportunity we’ve ever had!” The Dark King also made his decision. How could he possibly leave the primordial world? No matter how dangerous it was, he would stay!
"My Lord, should we inform the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the human race, let them know this secret, and let them make a choice?"

"Very well, inform them. Their choice is theirs. After all, we've known each other for a while, and we can't just ignore such an opportunity!" Xiao Sheng shook his head and sighed softly, a subtle change appearing in his eyes. Under the immeasurable calamity, everything will perish, all secrets, all causes and effects will surface. He also wanted to know why he had come to the primordial world, and whose handiwork it was!

Soon, the Ten Directions Daoist told the human race and the Twelve Ancestral Witches about this secret of the prehistoric world. As for how to choose, that was their own problem. When this notice was issued, the human race and the Twelve Ancestral Witches had different attitudes.

"The Great Destruction of the World presents a great opportunity, which is beneficial to cultivation and may allow us to comprehend a deeper Dao. This is indeed very tempting, but as the Human Emperor, I cannot abandon the human race. Therefore, I have decided to leave with the human race's minor world!" This was the decision of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan. No matter how good the opportunity was in the Great Destruction of the Primordial World, he always put the human race first.

"I will also leave with the human race's minor world, after all, the human race's power is too weak!" The Earth Emperor Shennong also made a decision. He did not care about the opportunities brought about by the great destruction of the primordial world, nor did he forget his original intention. As the human emperor, he naturally had to fight for the human race, live for the human race, and die for the human race. How could he abandon the human race at this time!
Emperor Fuxi smiled calmly and said, "Good, well said. As the human emperor, I naturally prioritize the human race. I also choose to stand with the human race through thick and thin. As long as we work together, I believe we can definitely help the human race escape from this immeasurable calamity. As for personal opportunities, they are not important!"

Soon, the sages of humanity made their decisions. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, without exception, were willing to stand with humanity through thick and thin. However, some of these sages chose to stay behind. They wanted to witness the great destruction of the primordial world. Their motivation wasn't to seize any so-called opportunities, but to sacrifice their lives to leave behind a precious legacy for humanity. They wanted to transform everything destroyed in the primordial world into the inheritance of humanity, ensuring a brighter future for humankind!
Nuwa took a deep breath and said, "I choose to stay. If what Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng said is true, then the great destruction of this primordial world is the best opportunity for my own breakthrough!" It must be admitted that Nuwa's heart for seeking the Dao is the most steadfast. Although she is also reluctant to leave the human race, she is even more eager to take a further step in her cultivation!
Everyone can understand Nuwa's choice, and many of the ancient sages of the human race even think it's a good thing. After all, Nuwa's identity gives them a sense of pressure. This is an immeasurable calamity, and it's best for the human race to take its own destiny into its own hands. With Nuwa gone, they no longer need to have any concerns!

"Houtu, what do you think we should do? Should we stay and wait for that great opportunity, or leave the prehistoric world? Time waits for no one, we need to make a decision quickly!" Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch, handed the choice to Houtu, the Ancestral Witch. His instincts told him that Houtu's choice was the most beneficial and correct one for them!
"Stay! We'll stay and let the Lesser Thousand Worlds leave the Primordial World. I don't believe the Primordial World's origin will choose our Lesser Thousand Worlds. The so-called test might just be aimed at the human race!" When Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, said this, Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch, was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why is the Primordial World's origin's test aimed at the human race? We don't have any chance at all?"

"Reproduction? Can our reproduction compare to that of the human race? If I were the origin of the primordial world, making final preparations, I would naturally choose the human minor world. After all, the human race's reproductive capacity is the strongest among intelligent beings. We, and other races, are far inferior. For a world to transform and evolve, the number of intelligent life forms is also crucial. Since we cannot gain the approval of the primordial world's origin, we must naturally face the opportunities brought by the Great Cataclysm. Perhaps there are dangers, but isn't this the path of cultivation? If we don't even have this much determination, what right do we have to talk about transcendence? I also want to know what secrets the primordial world is hiding!"

“Yes, I actually forgot such a simple question. Compared with the human race, we really have no advantage. No other race or civilization in the entire prehistoric world can compare with the human race. Perhaps Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng has already seen through all this, but he was just too embarrassed to say it directly, so as not to embarrass us.” Ancestral Witch Dijiang quickly realized and accepted the words of Ancestral Witch Houtu, no longer holding any hope for the origin of the prehistoric world.

In this regard, the human race did not consult with each other at all. It was as if they had already known that the prehistoric world would choose them. Perhaps this is why the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors stood with the human race. If they had chosen to stay and wait for their opportunity, it would have been a disaster for the human race and would have affected the choice of the prehistoric world's origin.

"We don't know if we'll ever have the chance to see them again after this parting. I hope everything goes smoothly!" Soon, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang made arrangements, explaining everything clearly. He used all his strength to push the Lesser Thousand Worlds to the edge of the Primordial World, and everything that followed was no longer something they could interfere with.

“Yes, this farewell may be forever. We choose to stay, and we may not see any hope of survival or obtain any opportunities. But as members of the Primordial World, we cannot miss such an opportunity. Even if we don’t gain any benefit ourselves, we must stay and say our final goodbye to the Primordial World! Let’s go, let’s go see Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng and join him!” As Dijiang the Ancestral Witch said this, he turned and headed towards the center of the Primordial World. The other Ancestral Witches followed closely behind!
Although the twelve Ancestral Witches were injured from the frenzied slaughter, they did not choose to rest at this moment. Instead, they joined Xiao Sheng, because time was of the essence and they could not afford to waste any more. As they sent the Lesser Thousand World away from the Primordial World, the Human Race gained the recognition of the Primordial World's origin. The Heart of the World was extracted and integrated into the Human Race's Lesser Thousand World, causing it to radiate a powerful light.

The final battle has begun. The Twelve Ancestral Witches can feel the wrath emanating from Chaos, and this wrath comes from the Great Dao of Chaos. It is clear that the Great Dao of Chaos is desperate. He is not as selfless and indifferent as he claims to be. It is a lie that he has no plans for the prehistoric world, otherwise he would not be so desperate.

When the Twelve Ancestral Witches saw Xiao Sheng, they were all taken aback, because there were many ancient sages of the human race and even the goddess Nuwa among them. This surprised them, since the human race had gained the recognition of the origin of the primordial world, and they should not have stayed. However, in reality, these people all chose to stay in the primordial world!

"It's almost here, everything is about to happen. I wonder how many people in the Primordial World are willing to stay. I wonder if we will ever meet again!" Looking at the increasingly weakened Primordial World, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sigh. After the Heart of the World was stripped away, the aura of the Primordial World rapidly weakened. If it weren't for the presence of Pangu's future body, Taiyi, in the Primordial World, the Great Dao of Chaos would probably have already made its move.

"Not many people will stay. Even Styx Ancestor and Zhenyuan Dazi chose to leave rather than stay and participate in the opportunities of the Great Cataclysm. If even they did so, you can imagine what others will do. Haotian and Yaochi have also left long ago. Perhaps the Three Pure Ones will choose to stay, but as for the Two Sages of the West, it's hard to say!" Houtu Ancestral Witch shook her head and sighed. Back then, Styx Ancestor and Zhenyuan Dazi had always been with them, but now they had parted ways. These guys left the prehistoric world before them, which is why she had such a sigh!
"It's better that they left. If they had stayed, it wouldn't necessarily have been a good thing for us. After all, everything is unknown. We have no idea what will happen next. Without sufficient strength, forcing them to stay would only be a burden to all of us. Ultimately, everything depends on strength!" Xiao Sheng sighed softly, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Whether what he did was right or wrong needed time to prove, but could time truly prove everything? This made him doubtful. Under the immeasurable calamity, would time still exist? In an instant, a multitude of thoughts surged through his mind!
