I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1492 Reprimand
Chapter 1472 Reprimand

"I don't know, and I don't know how many primordial chaos beings exist outside. If I knew, things wouldn't be like this now. I know what you're thinking, but I must warn you, don't do anything beyond your capabilities; that will be a disaster. As for your desire to break free from your own constraints and be free from the shackles of this world, it's actually very simple: just wait for the chaos to shatter. Once the chaos shatters, all constraints will vanish! The Great Cataclysm will not only destroy the world, but also destroy all cause and effect!"

"I understand, but I still have a question. We, the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, Pangu, and this Primordial World, were we truly created by Chaos and our own will? Was there any guidance from you, or were you guiding us step by step to where we are now?" Demon Ancestor Luo Hou asked again, and this question was even more pointed, becoming the thing everyone wanted to know the most!

“That’s right, your guesses are all correct. I guided you behind this. In fact, your current situation is not much different from mine back then. After Chaos failed, I guided him to make this breakthrough so that he could escape his predicament.”

“I see. Now I have no more questions. Perhaps I understand your thoughts. You want to start over. You want to use us to make another breakthrough and prove the Great Dao in your heart!” Demon Ancestor Luo Hou sighed as he spoke, his expression somewhat indifferent, but his eyes were full of light.

Although being schemed against was a terrible feeling, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou knew exactly what he should and shouldn't do. What he wanted was freedom, and as long as he could succeed, he could accept being schemed against.

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou could accept it, but the Chaos Dao and that mysterious Realm Beast could not. It meant that they had been fools all along and had been deceived. How could they, with their pride, accept this?

"So, the reason I failed is because you didn't truly disperse your consciousness, and you still have some control over this primordial chaos?" Good heavens, the Great Dao of Chaos is clearly trying to shift all the blame onto others. But the more he does this, the more his own state of mind will be affected. He can't even recognize himself. With his mind clouded, what future is there to speak of!

"No, your failure is simply because you were not strong enough and your will was not firm enough. Although I have retained a trace of consciousness, it will not pose an obstacle to anyone. On the contrary, if you had succeeded, you could have obtained all my memories. Unfortunately, you did not persevere, so don't shift the blame to others. It is your own weakness that made you so weak."

Actually, it can't be said that the Chaos Dao was too weak; it's just that it was too greedy. If it hadn't been so eager to get more, it wouldn't have gotten so deeply involved. Cutting its losses in time would have been the best choice, but the Chaos Dao didn't have that kind of resolve!

"We were consciously guided by you. Does this mean that the current primordial world is just a smaller version of the original chaos?" At this moment, the God of Destiny also jumped out. He also wanted to know the secret behind this. Seeing such a shocking change and such an opportunity before him, the God of Destiny could no longer endure it!
"That's one way to put it, but there are still many differences in essence. After all, the primordial world is not the original chaos. It can only be said that it has borrowed all the situations of the original chaos. Ultimately, it is still under your control and influenced by you, not by me. Pangu is very clear about this. If I make any moves, it is impossible to hide them from him!"

When they heard the primordial chaos say this, everyone's eyes turned to the great god Pangu, eager to hear his reply!

Pangu sighed softly, nodded, and said wearily, "That's right, that's how things are. The primordial world didn't evolve under the guidance of others, but through its own transformation. Even the world's original will cannot control its direction, because too many unexpected things can happen. You should all be aware of this!"

"Pangu, since you know so much, why didn't you warn us? Are you worried that we'll steal your opportunities, or do you want to use the immeasurable calamity to destroy us?" Good heavens, someone else has jumped out at this moment, and this guy is actually one of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons.

"The immeasurable calamity is not under my control, nor was this decisive battle initiated by me. If you want to blame someone, blame death, blame your own lack of strength. You are not qualified to cause me trouble!" The Great God Pangu looked disdainfully at the Chaos God-Demon that emerged from the chaos. This guy was also desperate; otherwise, he wouldn't have uttered such foolish words! "Heh, I knew it. Intelligent beings are so selfish and self-serving. Seeing you all like this reminds me once again of that trial. Human nature is the greatest threat, the obstacle that prevents the primordial chaos from breaking free. However, it's useless for you to fight. The immeasurable calamity is coming, and you will all face the test. If you fail, you will be destroyed by the immeasurable calamity and reduced to nothingness! If this primordial chaos can still exist, you may still have a glimmer of hope. If not, you will only face certain death." This primordial chaos was mocking the Chaos God-Demon, and also warning everyone.

"Senior, I want to know about our plans in the Chaos. Can those great worlds break through the barrier of world collapse and escape the shackles of primordial chaos?" Another Chaos God-Demon emerged from the shadows. Faced with such a shocking change, many people's thoughts were changing, and some hope had also been given to these people!
"Your plan is indeed a contingency plan, and there is hope. However, everything depends on your own destiny. The collapse of the primordial chaos is both destruction and opportunity. By enduring repeated trials and tribulations, the quality of your own Great Thousand Worlds will continuously transform, enabling you to withstand the impact of external forces and naturally break free from all constraints. This is like Pangu's plan: one axe splits the heavens and earth, another axe cleaves spacetime. As long as a passage can be opened, everything will naturally be achieved! Strength is the foundation of everything. To break through boundaries, you need sufficient strength, and I do not see such strength in you. Do not fantasize about obtaining the opportunity you desire from the Great Destruction of the Primordial World, an opportunity that will allow you to ascend to the heavens in one step and break free from constraints. This opportunity is of little use to you; it is merely a world insight left after the Great Destruction of the Primordial World. It is useful to the Beasts of the Realm, to Pangu, and to Chaos, but it is of no use to you who have not been able to break free even after the river of time has passed. Even if you were given it, you would not understand it. In comparison, you are not even as good as that young upstart, Xiao Sheng!"

It's unclear what the Primordial Chaos was thinking, bringing up Xiao Sheng at this crucial moment and thrusting him into the spotlight. Could it be that he's plotting against Xiao Sheng, and what is it about Xiao Sheng that he's interested in scheming against?

"Xiao Sheng, the inheritor of the God of Life and Demon, I admit that his cultivation of the Great Dao of Life has surpassed our imagination and he has forged his own path. However, I do not believe that we are inferior to him, a junior. I wonder if you, senior, could point out where we are inferior to Xiao Sheng, so that we can gain some understanding!"

"Guidance? Very well, considering the immeasurable calamity has arrived and everything is heading towards great destruction, I will give you some guidance. I know you look down on those younger generations, thinking you are chaotic gods and demons, beings from the primordial chaos, each of you feeling superior. In fact, you are greatly mistaken. Status doesn't determine everything, and your status and power are given by chaos, the origin of this world. Yet why did you abandon it? To put it bluntly, you lack the confidence to forge your own path. From the beginning, you were filled with fear, so your will was not firm enough. But Xiao Sheng, a junior, has come this far step by step. Perhaps he doesn't have your profound foundation, but his combat power is no weaker than yours, and he has forged his own path on the Great Dao of Life. If he were in the same position as you, he would have the ability to break free from constraints, do you understand? His will can ignore the constraints of the primordial chaos, and that is where you are inferior to him!"

"What? Xiao Sheng's will is so strong that he can break free from the shackles of the primordial chaos? How is that possible? How did he do it?" At this moment, everyone was speechless, even the Great Dao of Chaos, Pangu, and that Beast of Realms!
"How did he do it? That's a question for you, Chaos. If it weren't for your constant pressure and the trials of life and death, he wouldn't have been able to do all this. In terms of willpower, the potential of beings born after birth is greater than that of you Chaos Gods and Demons because of their different environments. Therefore, everything they have experienced is more profound than what you have gone through. Have you Chaos Gods and Demons truly understood your origins and truly broken through to your limits?"

Without waiting for a reply, the Primordial Chaos continued, "No, none of you have broken through your own limits. The limits you perceive are merely self-imposed, not the limits your bodies can withstand. If any of you possessed even one ability to break through boundaries, things wouldn't be like this. Even more laughable are those who resorted to the 'Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell' technique, utterly disgracing the Chaos Gods and Demons. The Dao is cultivated by yourselves, the path is forged by yourselves. The Great Destruction of the Primordial World did indeed offer a path for cultivation, providing guidance, as it contained some of my insights and the evolution of the Great Dao of the World—from the birth to the destruction of the world, the evolution of life and death. However, this opportunity is not something everyone can withstand!"

"Do we really have no chance at all? We know this opportunity is about to be born, but we're just going to let it slip by. We can't see any hope. I can't accept it, and I believe no one can accept it! Heaven and earth have blocked the path for humans. Even if we've gone down the wrong path, it shouldn't mean there's absolutely no hope!" This was the heartfelt cry of many chaotic gods and demons, their shout. The opportunity was right in front of them, but they couldn't see any hope. How could they accept this?

"Yes, there's always a way out. If you want to seize this opportunity, there's only one way: fight your way through. Your enemies are the Chaos Beast Kings. You were created by Chaos itself and have a karmic connection with the primordial Chaos. The Chaos Beast Kings, on the other hand, are evolved from the Realm Beasts. Although they also possess a portion of the primordial Chaos's essence, it's not much. Therefore, you are inherently opposing forces. However, you can also devour each other's essence to perfect your own Great Dao. This is the method the Realm Beasts devised. They want to seize everything from the primordial Chaos, hence this insane idea: to replace the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, using the Chaos Beast Kings and their army to devour everything from the primordial Chaos. In this way, you can obtain everything safely without any danger. Am I right?"

Seeing that its plan had been exposed, the Beast of the Realm nodded and said, "That's right, that was my plan. It's just a pity that everything failed. You exposed it, and Pangu, whom you pushed along, ruined the opportunity. Without your secret help, Pangu could not have broken free from the River of Time so quickly. Your existence ruined all our plans, and also ruined all of Chaos's plans. You are the darkest one. You used the power of all of us!"

"Hahaha, you're right. I am the one who is most deeply hidden, but my existence poses no threat to any living being. It's just that you are too greedy and your will is not firm enough. As a realm beast, you have forgotten your origin. When your will is no longer firm, do you think your cultivation can still progress? No matter how tempting the external forces are, they are not the power you cultivate yourself. Only the power you cultivate yourself truly belongs to you. Power obtained by devouring will eventually backfire, unless you can truly refine them. But you either need to advance further on your own Great Dao, or you need to truly master the Great Dao origin of what you devour. Which one do you think you can do?"

Faced with the primordial chaos's questioning, the Beast of Realms was at a loss for words. He knew he was truly incapable; he had poured all his energy into scheming against this primordial chaos, neglecting his own cultivation. He had made a fundamental mistake. While mocking the Great Dao of Chaos, he hadn't realized he, like the other, was a fool blinded by a leaf, seeing only the other's faults and failing to see his own. One wrong step leads to another; this defeat had extinguished all hope. There seemed to be a sliver of chance, but that chance was now incredibly slim!
