Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

However, this doesn't mean that this incident was entirely without benefit to Donghuang; at least it allowed him to atone for his crimes with good deeds.

The sage has been exonerated of the sin of shattering the primordial world, but he has not. Therefore, bearing the name of shattering the primordial world, he is still a sinner of the primordial world, unable to see the light of day.

In this situation, he needs to achieve outstanding accomplishments to prove his determination to atone for his sins, so that the world can put aside its prejudices and accept him again, so that he can continue to walk in the light.

Therefore, Donghuang will definitely go all out in this battle. This is his stage to show himself. Whether he can be accepted back by the prehistoric world afterward depends entirely on his performance in this battle.

At this critical moment, the prehistoric world is in dire need of manpower. With the strength of the Eastern Emperor, as long as he shows his determination not to coexist with the Chaos Demon God, it is not impossible for him to set aside the controversy with the demon race or even directly forgive the demon race's crimes in order to strengthen his own side.

Saints can be exonerated, and so can demons. Especially now, with the cultivation system becoming stronger, powerful beings have the ability to reverse cause and effect, altering the past with great power, making it even easier to escape punishment.

All we need to do is go back in time and pin all the blame on the Chaos God.

The one who shattered the primordial world was not the witch and demon races, nor was it Gonggong who knocked down Mount Buzhou; it was all done by the Chaos Demon God.

In this way, the Lich and Demon races can naturally be cleared of all wrongdoing, claiming that everything was done by the Chaos God and had nothing to do with them.

As for the Chaos Gods' rebuttal? Who would believe their rebuttal? They would only consider it sophistry or a deliberate attempt to slander the Lich and Demon races.

In short, the enemy's rebuttals are not to be believed; anyone who believes them is a fool.

The Chaos God had no way to refute it and was forced to accept the blame. The powerful beings of the primordial world, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to expose the truth.

Once the demon race proves its worth, who would dare expose their lies and blame everything back on them?
The resurgence of the Chaos God is inevitable, and the appearance of the demon race at this time is just right to put them at the forefront, thus relieving pressure from all sides.

If the demon race were gone, they would be at the forefront.

Who would want that? Facing the pressure of the Chaos God directly could really kill people. If they don't want to die themselves, then the only option is to let the demon race die, to let them stand at the forefront for everyone, to atone for their past sins.

Therefore, after the demon race is exonerated, whoever dares to bring up old grievances and cause the demon race to strike will have to face the Chaos God on behalf of the demon race.

Without such determination, how could anyone dare to expose this matter? Therefore, it is foreseeable that the demon race's exoneration is inevitable.

It can only be said that the appearance of the Chaos God gave too many forces an opportunity. It gave the demon race, which was already on the verge of extinction, hope for a revival and even complete exoneration.

The primordial world needed the demon race to stand in the way, which was the main reason the demon race was able to escape punishment. Therefore, the demon race had to demonstrate sufficient value to satisfy the powerful beings of the primordial world.

The Eastern Emperor's performance in this battle was the demon race's answer. The more outstanding he was, the higher his value to the demon race, and the easier it was for him to escape punishment.

In comparison, it's much easier for the Witch Clan to escape punishment. They can easily get away with it by hitching a ride on the Demon Clan's coattails, without even having to pay a heavy price or face the Chaos God like the Demon Clan did, and without having to bear the brunt of the Demon Clan's attacks.

The logic is quite simple: the Witch Clan has Houtu, the goddess who controls reincarnation, but the Demon Clan has no similar being. Therefore, the powerful beings of the primordial world dare to manipulate the Demon Clan, but dare not manipulate the Witch Clan.

Otherwise, if they force Houtu Niangniang to go on strike, that would be a huge mess, and no one could bear the consequences.

In this situation, who would dare to bully the Wu tribe? Do they really think that the Goddess Houtu is made of clay and has no temper?
………………

"kill!"

Realizing this was the demon race's only hope of escaping punishment, Donghuang began to fight desperately. A vast divine might emanated from him, causing the sun, moon, and stars to tremble violently, as if they were about to fall.

Fortunately, the shattered primordial world was protected by the Three Pure Ones. Otherwise, with the Eastern Emperor's full-scale revival, it's unknown whether the Chaos Demon God would be alright, but the primordial world would certainly have been completely shattered.

The current prehistoric world truly cannot withstand even the slightest disturbance.

clang clang clang clang...

The Chaos Bell roared as Donghuang held it in his hand and shook it incessantly. The next moment, endless bell waves swept out, ripples surging like a tide, wave after wave, quickly engulfing the Chaos Demon God.

Visibly, the bodies of the eight Chaos Demon Gods were shattering, splitting into trillions of parts, and then exiled to different dimensions, lost in endless space and time.

"This……"

Seeing this, the other powerful cultivators who were about to make their move were utterly horrified. They suddenly realized that Donghuang's move was a perfect weapon against strong opponents; once hit, there was practically no way to escape.

The strong are immortal and indestructible, making them difficult to kill. Donghuang's move is specifically designed to target this weakness.

The powerful are divided into trillions upon trillions of parts and then exiled to different times and spaces. This makes it extremely difficult for them to reunite.

Because exile is not the same as killing, the exiled flesh and blood are still alive and have not been destroyed, so it is impossible to reunite the body.

Unable to reassemble the body or recall it, and forced to let the power be dispersed, wouldn't one be at the mercy of the enemy, or even worse than death?

"There are no invincible supernatural powers, only invincible people. Although this supernatural power is powerful, it is not without ways to break it."

Ao Bing glanced at it and then looked away. As someone who had attained enlightenment through supernatural powers, his understanding of supernatural abilities was too profound. He saw the power of Donghuang's supernatural ability at a glance and instantly thought of a way to counter it.

The power of this supernatural ability lies in its ability to instantly split a person and send them into different times and spaces.

Physical bodies scattered across the world may reunite. But how can bodies scattered across different times and spaces reunite?

Therefore, Donghuang's supernatural powers are formidable. Unless one has an unimaginable understanding of the Dao of Time and Space, it is difficult to reunite one's physical body, leaving one at the mercy of the enemy.

The solution Ao Bing devised was related to the principles of time and space: planting time and space imprints within every inch of his flesh and blood. In this way, even if he were sent to different time and space, he could reunite instantly.

It's easier said than done; in reality, it's incredibly difficult, and very few people in the primordial world could achieve it. But then again, learning the Eastern Emperor's divine power is also extremely difficult; the two are roughly equal in ability.

Therefore, this kind of supernatural power is prepared for top-level experts. Others should not even dream of it; encountering it means certain death, without exception.

"This should be Donghuang's trump card. I don't know who it was meant to be used against. Now that it has been exposed in advance, it will be difficult to make it effective."

Someone snapped out of their daze and muttered to themselves, "Why is it that many top-tier supernatural abilities are most powerful only the first time they appear? It's not that their power decreases afterward, but rather that others are prepared, making it much harder for them to have an effect."

The first time it's used, everyone is caught off guard and naturally falls easily. But any supernatural power, once it appears, will quickly be countered, and it's unlikely to be effective the second time.

Therefore, supernatural powers are strongest when they first appear, just like now, when Donghuang severely injured eight Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals with a single move.

This divine power could severely injure the Chaos Demon God, and if it were used against Ao Bing, it could naturally injure him as well, or even kill him. Unfortunately, because it was used on the Chaos Demon God the first time, Ao Bing was on guard. If Donghuang uses this divine power against Ao Bing again next time, it will probably be difficult to achieve the same effect.

This was one of the reasons why the path of supernatural powers couldn't flourish in the past. The effects of a supernatural power painstakingly developed would be greatly diminished after just one use—who could bear that?
This is the biggest flaw in the path of supernatural powers. As long as this matter is not resolved, the path of supernatural powers will not be able to flourish.

Ao Bing already had a solution, and he used it instantly.

brush……

A dazzling sword light burst forth, sweeping across the entire primordial world, engulfing the Demon Ancestor, instantly splitting him into trillions of parts, and sending them into different times and spaces.

Ao Bing learned and used the divine power that Donghuang had just displayed with just one glance, and its power was no weaker than Donghuang's.

Do you understand the immense value of the Divine Dao Ancestor? He can learn any supernatural power in the world with just a glance, and master it instantly.

To put it bluntly, ever since Ao Bing created the supernatural power system, he has controlled all the supernatural powers in the world, and there is no supernatural power that he cannot use.

The important part about the title "Ancestor of the Dao" is the title "Ancestor of the Dao," not the title "Divine Power." He is the ancestor of all divine powers, so naturally he can master all divine powers; this is the reward for creating the system of divine powers.

If you're not convinced, then don't create any more supernatural powers. If you don't create any supernatural powers, you naturally won't be controlled by Ao Bing.

"What a magnificent feat of establishing one's own way through supernatural powers!"

Donghuang glanced back and couldn't help but praise. Ao Bing was showing the world that the path of supernatural powers has no flaws.

A powerful supernatural ability is most effective the first time it is used. How can this be explained? It's simple: make the supernatural ability have more variations, so that each time it appears, it is completely different from the last time, making it so natural that it is impossible to defend against.

Just like now, everyone is familiar with the divine power that Ao Bing is using—the Immortal Execution Sword Light. However, because it was inspired by the Eastern Emperor's divine power, it has many more variations, and it actually produces the same effect as the Eastern Emperor's divine power.

However, although the effects are the same, the two supernatural powers are completely different. Ao Bing uses the Zhuxian Sword Light, while Donghuang uses the space-time supernatural power.

Different supernatural powers, yet achieving the same effect, precisely demonstrates that Ao Bing's supernatural powers are highly variable and not static.

The reason he was able to do this was not only because of his high level of comprehension, but also because he used supernatural powers as his path.

When supernatural powers become the Dao, they naturally become as changeable as the Dao itself, with endless variations, rather than remaining unchanged as before.

Supernatural powers establish the Way, and the Way is the key. Transforming supernatural powers into the Way naturally endows them with endless variations. This is precisely the well-known principle that if one understands one method, one understands all methods.

Once one achieves enlightenment through supernatural powers, one can use one supernatural power to evolve into endless supernatural powers.

This was precisely what Donghuang praised. Because it was also very important to him, as it could greatly enhance his combat power.

If Ao Bing could learn his supernatural powers, he could naturally learn Ao Bing's methods as well. Isn't the continuous progress of cultivation civilization due to everyone copying each other—no, it's about mutual exchange and progress!
……

"Bastard!"

Seeing the changes taking place in the primordial world amidst the great chaos, Yang Mei Daoist, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly turned extremely ugly.

He hadn't expected that the Demon Ancestor, along with the eight Great Demon Gods, a total of nine Chaos Demon Gods, would perform so poorly. With most of the Primordial Realm experts unable to make a move, he was suppressed by the remaining Primordial Realm experts and even forced into a desperate situation.

He originally thought that by combining the power of the nine Chaos Gods, he could at least cause irreparable damage to the primordial world, if not completely destroy it.

But the result was completely unexpected. Forget destroying the primordial world, they were lucky to even survive.

"waste!"

Despite his anger, Yang Mei couldn't simply stand by and watch them die. So, seeing that the Demon Ancestor and the others were in dire straits, he reached out and grabbed at the Primordial World, wanting to save them.

But the next moment, the Dao Ancestor made a move and effortlessly neutralized his power.

"Fellow Daoist, with me here, your power cannot enter the Primordial World."

The Dao Ancestor solemnly stated that his purpose in coming here was to block Daoist Yang Mei.

Otherwise, if this person were to collude with the nine Chaos Demon Gods from within, the prehistoric world would truly be in danger.

"The Way of Heaven?"

Yang Mei glanced at Dao Zu and then refrained from attacking. Although their cultivation levels were similar back then, Yang Mei's cultivation level was now definitely higher than Dao Zu's.

Because the Dao Ancestor's progress was from nothing to something, gradually increasing his strength, each breakthrough required an enormous amount of time. Yang Mei, however, was different; he simply recovered his strength, and as long as he had enough power, his power would increase rapidly.

In this situation, no matter how fast the Dao Ancestor's cultivation speed is, it is impossible for him to surpass him.

However, the Dao Ancestor also had his own methods. He was blessed by the Heavenly Dao, making him invincible in the primordial world. Let alone Yang Mei, whose realm was higher than his, even if he were a hundred or a thousand times stronger, he would still be no match for him.

"You want to take this opportunity to eliminate them, Hongjun? I can only say you're overthinking it. You underestimate the power of us Chaos Gods."

Yang Mei guessed the Dao Ancestor's purpose and couldn't help but shake her head.

As his words fell, another change occurred in the primordial world. A mysterious force of spacetime flowed, instantly dissipating the power of Ao Bing and the others.

Immediately, the nine demon gods, which had been divided into trillions of parts, reappeared and returned to their peak, without a single injury.

Time-Space Demon God!

Or perhaps the Time God and the Space God foresaw that something unexpected might happen during this operation, so they left a wisp of spacetime power on them, allowing them to start over in a crisis.

"This power is even stronger than the Chaos Bell."

Gripping the Chaos Bell tightly, Donghuang felt threatened for the first time. With the resurgence of the Chaos Demon God, the title of the Chaos Bell as the strongest time-space treasure might change hands, which greatly displeased him.

"Oh no, act quickly, they're about to self-destruct."

At this moment, Ao Bing sensed something was wrong, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he rushed forward without regard for anything else, intending to instantly kill the Demon Ancestor. (End of this chapter)
