Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

With Yang Mei secretly sabotaging things, it's no wonder that the Yin Yang Ancestor and the Qiankun Ancestor perished.

Even if they possess innate treasures, so what? Because the situation they face is completely different from what they imagined.

They thought that once they entered the fray, it would be four against one. But in reality, it was three against two, and the three of them were even separated.

Therefore, the situation awaiting them is not four against one, but two against one, and that one is still them.

The Demon Ancestor and Yang Mei joined forces and defeated the three of them one by one. Their strength was already slightly weaker than the Demon Ancestor and Yang Mei; they were no match for each other in a one-on-one fight, let alone being surrounded and attacked.

Even more outrageous, they were trapped in the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, on someone else's home turf.

Given the unfavorable situation for them, it was only natural that they were defeated one by one and killed in succession.

It was precisely for this reason that even with four top-tier innate treasures, the four powerful beings were still unable to defeat the Demon Ancestor with overwhelming force. Instead, he found an opportunity to kill two of them, which led to their defeat.

Normally, this should never happen. In the past, everyone's cultivation level was not high, so they did not have a clear understanding of the power of the Heaven-Opening Treasure.

Now, with their cultivation levels rising, everyone understands that although the Heaven-Opening Treasure is called the Innate Treasure, its actual power has far surpassed that of the Innate Treasure, entering another level.

Therefore, even with the Demon Ancestor's support from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the four of them working together, carrying two innate treasures, would still be able to crush him completely, with no possibility of defeat.

Only if someone betrays them can they still pay a heavy price despite having an absolute advantage.

As for who this traitor is, the answer is self-evident: it must be Yang Mei.

Since only two people survived, Daozu and Yang Mei, and Daozu couldn't be the one, it could only be Yang Mei.

However, the Dao Ancestor was still unsure; he lacked evidence. Only when Yang Mei's true identity was revealed did he become certain that Yang Mei was the one who betrayed them back then.

If it weren't for cooperating with the Demon Ancestor, why would a Chaos Demon God join forces with them to fight against another Chaos Demon God?

“That’s right, everything is as you imagine. Back then, when I saw the three of you working together, I was worried that Rahu would be no match for you, so I took the initiative to join you. Then, in the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, I joined forces with the Demon Ancestor to try to defeat you one by one.”

"I just didn't expect that the Yin-Yang Daoist and the Qiankun Daoist would be so ruthless, willing to give up all paths to survival in order to make me and Rahu pay the price."

"It was because you were injured by the two of them that you were able to achieve final victory, break the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and force Luo Hou to self-destruct."

"Otherwise, you will follow in their footsteps and be wiped out from the primordial world."

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it anymore, so Yang Mei told Zhi Zu the whole truth about what happened back then.

"you……"

Although he had been prepared, the Dao Ancestor still couldn't hide his anger when he finally confirmed it.

It was all his fault. If he hadn't trusted Yang Mei so easily, how could he have caused fellow Daoists Yin Yang and Qian Kun to lose their lives?

"There is one more thing that I don't understand. Logically speaking, those who have reached the level of fellow Daoists Yin Yang and Qian Kun should already have the ability to be immortal and indestructible. Even if they are killed, they can be resurrected in the future."

"But I've tried many methods, even pulling people from the past, but I still can't bring them back to life."

"Regarding this matter, I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Forcibly suppressing his anger, the Dao Ancestor continued to question Yang Mei. The deed was done; no amount of anger could change anything.

Therefore, his first task was to find a way to make amends, to figure out as soon as possible why his two fellow Daoists, Yin Yang and Qian Kun, could not be resurrected, and then to find a way to revive them.

Given their experience, once resurrected, they would quickly reach the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal. In the current prehistoric world, having two more Primordial Golden Immortals would undoubtedly alleviate a lot of pressure.

"There's no point in hiding this. Of course I know that great supernatural beings possess the ability to be immortal and indestructible. Unless the primordial world is completely destroyed, no one can completely kill a great supernatural being."

"Therefore, in order to prevent the two from being resurrected, I used some special methods to link their lives with my and Rahu's lives. In this way, as long as the two of us are alive, they will not be able to be resurrected."

Yang Mei was incredibly forthcoming; he answered whatever the Dao Ancestor asked.

Because there's no point in hiding it; it's as if if he didn't tell the Dao Ancestor these things, the Dao Ancestor would let him and Rahu go.

This is obviously impossible. The grudges between the Chaos God and the primordial beings can never be erased unless one side is completely destroyed.

Therefore, no matter what, the Dao Ancestor would not let Yang Mei and Luo Hou, or even the other Chaos Demon Gods, go. Since a life-or-death struggle was inevitable, there was no need to hide such a matter.

"There's such a way?"

Dao Ancestor frowned, secretly increasing his vigilance against the Chaos Demon God. Such methods were truly inconceivable; it was the first time he had ever heard of them.

To suppress the lives of others with one's own means that as long as one is strong enough, one can ensure that one's opponent can never rise again. This method is extraordinary; worthy of being a Chaos Demon God, his methods far surpass those of primordial beings.

"This method is indeed powerful, but it was not created by us, but by Pangu, specifically to deal with us Chaos Gods."

"After Pangu killed us, he used his own destiny to suppress us in order to prevent us from being resurrected. As long as he exists, we will never be able to be resurrected."

"With Pangu's power, who could possibly cause his decline? Therefore, theoretically, we will never have a chance to turn the tide."

"But who could have imagined that since its creation, the primordial world has been plagued by constant internal strife? As a result, the primordial world, which should have been on an upward trajectory, gradually became weaker and weaker."

"The primordial world was transformed from the Dao Fruit of Pangu. The stronger the primordial world, the better Pangu's condition. Conversely, the weaker the primordial world, the worse Pangu's condition."

"With the primordial world weakened so much, Pangu was inevitably affected, which caused a flaw in his suppression of us, giving us a chance to be resurrected."

"The reason why the Chaos Gods have been resurrected one after another is not because we have broken through Pangu's restrictions with our own power, but entirely because of your help."

Seeing the shock in Dao Ancestor's eyes, Yang Mei continued. He wasn't doing this specifically to answer Dao Ancestor's questions, but rather to undermine his Dao heart.

The resurgence of the Chaos Gods is a result of internal strife within the primordial world. If this were to spread, chaos would surely erupt within the primordial world. Furthermore, the individuals involved are far too powerful, and such an investigation would inevitably lead to widespread unrest.

If the matter is not investigated, it will inevitably cause resentment, which will further worsen the situation in the prehistoric world and may even trigger internal strife.

In short, Yang Mei's sudden remarks were certainly not out of good intentions, but rather a scheme to manipulate the beings of the primordial world. "Fellow Daoist, by saying this, you are underestimating the Great God Pangu. With the Great God's abilities, how do you know that the current situation is not something he deliberately orchestrated?"

"It can revive your Chaos Gods, so that we can use the beings of the primordial world to lead you to complete annihilation, and thus bring true perfection to the primordial world."

Upon hearing this, Dao Zu remained completely unmoved and instead began to scheme against Dao.

In terms of cultivation level, Dao Ancestor certainly cannot compare with Chaos Demon God, but in terms of scheming, all the Chaos Demon Gods combined might not be able to defeat Dao Ancestor.

There's no way around it; the primordial world is too treacherous. Without a bit of cunning, you'd have been tricked and killed long ago. On the other hand, the Chaos Gods, although stronger, live in a much simpler environment than the primordial world.

In the chaotic era, life was scarce, and everyone relied on their strength to speak, resulting in powerful individuals but lacking in strategic thinking.

Unlike the primordial world, where strength is insufficient, intelligence makes up for it. Every powerful cultivator is an expert in scheming and trickery, having tricked and killed countless people. This is far beyond what a simple chaotic demon god can compare to.

Therefore, Yang Mei's attempt to outsmart the Dao Ancestor was truly overthinking things. Being fooled once was already a feat; she wouldn't be fooled a second time.

"maybe!"

"But this time, I, the Chaos Demon God, will not be defeated no matter what. I will surely destroy the primordial world and bring back the era of chaos."

Thinking of unhappy memories, Yang Mei stopped chatting with the Dao Ancestor and turned her gaze back to the primordial world. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for the Chaos Demon Gods, but Yang Mei remained confident that they would achieve final victory.

This unusual behavior aroused a bad feeling in the Dao Ancestor's heart. Perhaps the Chaos Demon God was hiding some tricks up his sleeve.

…………

In the primordial world, torrents of supernatural powers surged relentlessly, engulfing the Demon Ancestor and other powerful figures of the demonic path, extinguishing their life force time and again, and attempting to toll their death knell.

Unfortunately, the Demon Ancestor possessed extremely vigorous vitality, even showing a trend of growing stronger with each battle. Facing the attacks of the crowd, his aura grew increasingly powerful, as if he would break through to a higher realm at any moment.

Fortunately, no matter how strong the Demon Ancestor was, he could only protect himself and could not take care of the powerful demons behind him.

Therefore, under repeated attacks, the eight of them grew weaker and weaker, and were on the verge of death.

However, at that moment, an unexpected change occurred. The auras of these eight powerful demonic cultivators suddenly changed in an instant, as if they had become completely different people.

"Damn descendants of Pangu, you forced me to this."

Anger mixed with resentment emanated from the mouths of these eight powerful demonic cultivators. Then, their auras, which had been as fragile as candles in the wind, suddenly surged, expanding rapidly as if inflated.

"Chaos Demon God!"

"Damn it, our previous guess was right. They were too deeply influenced by the Chaos God. Without even realizing it, they had already become puppets of the Chaos God, at his mercy."

Upon witnessing this scene, the powerful beings of the primordial world were all greatly shocked. What they saw before them undoubtedly confirmed their previous suspicions: the demonic path had already fallen under the control of the Chaos Demon God.

What does it mean when a person on the verge of death suddenly experiences a dramatic change in aura and even becomes stronger? It means that their will has been suppressed and their body has fallen into the hands of the Chaos Demon God behind them.

It was the arrival of the Chaos Gods that, under their power, caused the Eight Demons to suddenly revive and return from a near-death state to their peak.

As for why the Chaos God suddenly descended and replaced the Eight Demons, the reason is simple: he didn't want the vessel he had finally found to be destroyed.

The Eight Demons have cultivated to their current level by spending countless hours and overcoming numerous tribulations.

Even for a Chaos God, finding eight such perfectly matched vessels would not be easy; it would take at least hundreds of millions, or even billions of years.

This process is far too long; the Chaos Gods simply cannot afford to wait. Therefore, they absolutely cannot stand idly by and watch the vessel be destroyed. They must appear at the crucial moment and take over the vessel to prevent their years of hard work from being in vain.

However, prematurely entering the container may lead to some unpredictable consequences.

Originally, the Chaos Demon God planned to replace the eight demons after they had cultivated to the level of Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Now, under pressure from Ao Bing and others, they have no choice but to plan ahead and take over before they have even become Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

This will undoubtedly result in the containers not fitting as well as expected.

If one cultivates to the level of Hunyuan before taking over, then the vessel can perfectly contain the power of the Chaos Demon God, allowing it to unleash its full strength at its current level.

However, since the vessel has not yet reached the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, they have taken over prematurely. Although they can unleash the power of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, they can only exert about 50% of their strength at best.

The presence of a flawed vessel will inevitably affect their strength; this is unavoidable. They are simply too powerful; ordinary vessels cannot fully contain their power, requiring a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to do so.

Moreover, damaged containers cannot last long and must be replaced in time, otherwise they will break.

This timeframe could be millions of years, or it could be tens of millions of years, but that's the limit; it cannot be extended any further.

In other words, because the Eight Demons could not cultivate into Grand Luo Golden Immortals, their bodies could not be used by Chaos Demon Gods for long periods of time. At most, they would disintegrate on their own after tens of millions of years and had to be replaced.

The perfectly good vessel was forcibly damaged under the pressure from Ao Bing and others, causing their plans to go awry.

With this in mind, how could the Chaos Gods not hate them? So, after they appeared, they immediately rushed towards the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world.

Yes, that's right, not Ao Bing and his group, but the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world.

The Chaos Demon God also knew the principle of picking on the weak first. With the strength of Ao Bing and the others, even if they had the power of a Primordial Golden Immortal, they would have difficulty causing any harm to him if they rushed up.

However, it's different for the great supernatural beings of the primordial world. They haven't yet reached the Hunyuan stage and are weaker. In front of a true Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, they would be easily severely injured, if not completely powerless to resist.

Basically, it's a fatal blow in one move, and death is certain within ten moves.

In order to vent their anger, these eight Chaos Demons, revived through their containers, chose to massacre the powerful cultivators of the Xuanmen sect as revenge.

“I’ll hold off the Demon Ancestor, and you guys stop those Chaos Demon Gods.”

Seeing this, Ao Bing suddenly took over the Pangu primordial energy avatar, preparing to hold off the Demon Ancestor single-handedly, freeing up the others to deal with the situation. (End of Chapter)
