I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1490 Intimidation

Chapter 1470 Coercion

"Hahaha, resources? Do you think I lack resources right now? Do you think my cultivation needs your so-called resources? I have transcended the river of time and am no longer an ignorant 'ant'. If you want to fight, then fight. Don't waste your breath on these verbal battles. I will not go against my own will and I will not give up. Back then, you schemed against Chaos, now don't try to scheme against me."

When Pangu uttered these words, everyone was shocked. How did this relate to the Great Dao of Chaos? Could it be that the Great Dao of Chaos had been tricked by this mysterious being, which was why it was in its current predicament? But why did the Great Dao of Chaos turn a blind eye to this being's actions and allow it to attack all living beings?
In an instant, numerous questions flooded their minds, but unfortunately, they couldn't find the answers. Only the Great Dao of Chaos knew, and perhaps only Pangu and this mysterious being understood. However, since Pangu had brought this matter up, it proved that the scheme behind it was far from simple!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Xiao Sheng's mind: "Could it be that the Chaos Dao was originally an existence that broke free from the constraints of time, but a moment of greed caused it to become what it is now, transforming itself into chaos and becoming a chaotic world?"

Although the idea sounded a bit crazy, Xiao Sheng felt that it was probably true. After all, in the most primitive chaotic world, it was impossible for intelligence to emerge. The will of the world would only treat all living beings fairly and justly, and would never scheme against the living beings it had conceived, just like the primordial world created by the Great God Pangu and three thousand chaotic gods and demons.

With this guess in mind, and thinking about the Primordial World, Xiao Sheng had another idea: "The Primordial World may be an experiment used by the Great God Pangu to verify the Great Dao of Chaos. However, there should still be a power that I am unaware of in this Primordial World, and this power is very useful to the Great Dao of Chaos, and even to this mysterious being."

What is that? Xiao Sheng pondered, but unfortunately he couldn't find the answer because he knew too little, especially about the Great Thousand Worlds. Even though he had created the Great Thousand Worlds and even many Lesser Thousand Worlds, his understanding of the cultivation of the Great Dao of the Worlds and the secrets of the Great Thousand Worlds was still limited.

The essence of the world is the most crucial element of the Great Thousand Worlds. Only by comprehending this can one create their own Great Thousand Worlds, or even possess a perfect one. Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng lacks this understanding. Although Chang Shengzi is now in harmony with the Great Thousand Worlds, he still hasn't grasped the essence of the Great Dao. Everything is merely his own speculation and comprehension. He has no reference points for cultivation on this heaven-reaching path and can only verify it step by step on his own. However, astonishing news has emerged from the Primordial World, forcing Xiao Sheng to take it seriously.

"Could it be that the Great Dao Heart that Pangu made an agreement with the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons was not the most valuable existence in the Primordial World, or even that the World Heart that the Primordial World originally intended to transfer was unimportant? Then what is the most important thing, and what can only be generated in the Great Destruction of the Primordial World? The Chaos Great Dao, that mysterious existence, and Pangu, what exactly are they fighting for?"

This idea wasn't just on Xiao Sheng's mind; Nuwa, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, even the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and the Three Thousand Chaos Gods and Demons—in short, all the powerful figures who were paying attention to this battle had the same question. They all wanted to know what exactly would be produced by the Great Destruction of the Primordial World that would make them go to such lengths!
Of course, some people also wanted to know the secrets of the Chaos Dao, how he was schemed against by that mysterious person, and what this person's motives were in scheming against the Chaos Dao. Everything was a secret, and everything was so tempting. Instinct made these people understand that as long as they mastered this secret, they would make rapid progress in their cultivation, be able to ascend to the heavens in one step, and gain a powerful boost!
They understood it, but putting it into practice was incredibly difficult. After all, they were facing true powerhouses, and the mysterious figure was only using the Chaos Beast to attack, not fully revealing himself. Perhaps this was related to the Chaos Dao. After all, if he had foreseen the Chaos Dao, a great battle between them would inevitably break out under such circumstances!
Just as everyone was eager to know the truth, the chaotic beast spoke again: "Well done, Pangu. You truly are the most cunning one. No wonder you could transcend the river of time and control yourself. However, some secrets are useless even if you know them; you cannot stop them. When the entire chaos collapses, everything will end!"

"The collapse of chaos, so you have absolute confidence in destroying the Great Dao of Chaos? I'm also very curious about how you were able to do it. And if you have such ability, then hurry up and make your move. I'd also like to know what the Great Dao of Chaos's backup plan is, why he's so confident and unafraid of the collapse of chaos, and what your relationship is!"

Just then, a deep voice resounded throughout the primordial world: "Enough! Shut up, Pangu. Don't provoke my bottom line. There are many things you shouldn't know. Now that you have jumped out of the river of time and gained freedom, you must not explore more secrets. That will only make you sink deeper and deeper, and make you fall into the river of time again!"

It was obvious that the Great Dao of Chaos was getting anxious. He was worried that Pangu knew his secret, and he was also worried that the mysterious guy would reveal his secret. But the more he acted this way, the more everyone wanted to know what the secret was!
"Heh, you're getting impatient. You were so confident back then, how come you can't hold on after such a short time? Are you afraid that your secret will be revealed and that you'll suffer the backlash from those guys!" The chaotic beast looked at the Chaotic Dao with disdain, its face full of contempt.

"Enough! If it weren't for your temptation, you bastard, how could I have fallen into such a crisis? I originally had better freedom and a better future, but you ruined all of that. Now you want to ruin my last chance? Do you really want to fight me to the death?" Chaos Dao shouted angrily, his eyes full of fierce light. It seemed that he had really reached the end of his rope, otherwise he would not have reacted like this.

"How laughable, truly laughable. You have the nerve to say I schemed against you? I asked you back then if I clearly explained all the dangers. But what did you answer? You confidently said everything was no problem, that given enough time, everything was under control, and you would ultimately achieve everything. Now you're desperate. During this time, did I target you or sabotage your plans? Now that things have gone wrong, you're shifting all the blame onto me, uttering those ridiculous words that I schemed against you. How laughable! I'm here to take back everything; what's wrong with that?" Good heavens! Listening to this mysterious being, things weren't as the Great God Pangu described. It was a scheme, or rather, a deal. The other party had a deal with the Chaos Dao, and didn't deceive the Chaos Dao. It's just a pity that the Chaos Dao was too arrogant and ultimately failed, then shifted all the blame onto this person!

"It must be the world. Only the Great Dao of the World could make Chaos so eager. Knowing there is danger, it still dares to try. Could it be that the Great Dao of Chaos did not create the Chaos World itself, but relied on external forces? Even the beings it nurtured were not its own power, but relied on external forces. What power could do all this?" Xiao Sheng had such doubts in his mind. To form such a vast Chaos World, it was definitely not something that ordinary treasures could do.

A series of flashes of inspiration kept appearing in Xiao Sheng's mind. He tried hard to find the key and the secret behind it, but unfortunately, his good intentions were slapped in the face by reality. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find the answer. He could only say that his understanding was still limited, and under such limited circumstances, he naturally couldn't determine what kind of power could achieve this level! He could only say that his knowledge was still too shallow, and his understanding of this matter was far from sufficient!

If it were a vast world, Xiao Sheng could understand it, but a world like Chaos was beyond his comprehension. It involved far too many Great Dao Laws. Chaos could give birth to Chaos Gods and Demons, and even vast worlds. Such a level of existence was beyond the capabilities of a mere Primordial Golden Immortal!

"Hehe, I've also gotten myself into a rut. Why do I have to think about these things? In any case, this immeasurable calamity will expose all the secrets. As long as the conflict between the Chaos Dao, Pangu, and that mysterious being remains, all their secrets will be revealed one by one. Even if the Chaos Dao wants to stop it, it's useless."

When you relax and stop overthinking, you quickly understand what you can do in this immeasurable eon. Understanding yourself is key to going further on the path of spiritual practice. Overthinking is useless; you need strength!

When Pangu, the Great Dao of Chaos, and that mysterious figure have already clashed, all I need to do is wait patiently rather than take any other action. At this time, I must remain steadfast and avoid any actions that might invite unnecessary trouble. It is precisely at this time that I must be especially cautious and avoid impulsive behavior.

After calming down, Xiao Sheng viewed the conflict with a nonchalant air. Their battle hadn't escalated; even Pangu's future incarnation, Taiyi, hadn't directly confronted the chaotic beast. It was merely a standoff of auras. If they truly wanted war, they wouldn't have needed so much talk; they would have simply attacked. Perhaps this was meant to provoke the Chaos Dao, forcing it out of the shadows. Without this standoff, would the Chaos Dao have revealed itself?
It's difficult. In Xiao Sheng's view, the Chaos Dao clearly wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Unfortunately, he was still forced out. As long as he stood in the open, everything would be easier to talk about. Now, the real protagonist of the Boundless Calamity is not Xiao Sheng and other Primordial Golden Immortals, but Pangu, the Chaos Dao, and that mysterious being. However, this guy is possessing the body of a Chaos Beast, which makes people wonder what he really wants to do.

"Mysterious fellow Daoist, whatever your schemes may be, now that the Great Dao of Chaos has appeared, we can discuss things face to face. After all, this is the Chaotic World, and even if you have many schemes, success will not be easy, let alone seizing the opportunities nurtured by the Primordial World from our hands." At this moment, Taiyi spoke up, abandoning his previous domineering tone and speaking to the other party in an equal manner!
Faced with Pangu's transformation, the chaotic beast calmly said, "Pangu, you want to know about the secrets of chaos from me, and how I schemed against him. Although you have some guesses in your heart, you are not sure. I wonder if what I said is correct?"

“That’s right. No one will give up any opportunity to improve themselves, and I’m no exception. I also want to know what opportunity Chaos Dao obtained from you, what the deal between you was, and why he put all the blame on you, thinking that you schemed against him?”

"Pangu, do you want to fight me to the death? You should know that such secrets are taboo. Once you know them, you will fight me to the death!" The Chaos Dao's expression was extremely gloomy at this moment, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, as if he would have to fight Pangu to the death if Pangu did not accept his proposal!
"Alright, we've clashed before. I know exactly what kind of being you are. If you truly dared to fight me to the death now, you wouldn't have waited until now. If you had truly wanted a decisive battle back then, you wouldn't have allowed me and the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons to retaliate. You would have simply annihilated us. You couldn't bring yourself to do it; you couldn't bear to sacrifice your own cultivation. If you had been ruthless back then, you could have wiped us all out. You had that ability, but you were intimidated by our resolve and had to compromise. Now, you have even less of that resolve!"

Pangu's words forced the Chaos Dao to fall silent, for they were the truth. If he had truly been ruthless back then, he would have been willing to suffer severe damage to his own origin to annihilate Pangu and the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons. Once Pangu and the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons completed their plan, the Chaos Dao would have had even less of an opportunity. Now that Pangu had transcended the River of Time, how could he possibly be forced back by such threats? It only showed that the Chaos Dao still hadn't recognized its own limitations. If the Chaos Dao could truly understand itself, comprehend its own strength and situation, it wouldn't have uttered such threats to Pangu. To beings like them, it was a joke, a sign of weakness!
