Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

"Evolving three thousand chaotic demon gods is such an extreme method of attaining enlightenment, even more difficult than creating a world. This is the true path to enlightenment through force."

Everyone was speechless. They knew Ao Bing had great ambitions, but they didn't expect them to be this great. He chose the most difficult path, which meant he had blocked his own future.

At this moment, no one believed that Ao Bing could successfully navigate this path and evolve into three thousand Chaos Gods.

"Whether he can succeed is hard to say, but his strength must be extremely terrifying."

Staring at the nine solidified Chaos Demon Gods, the eyes of the many powerful beings were filled with complex and unfathomable emotions.

Ao Bing is a Chaos Demon God, and he has nine more Chaos Demon Gods within him, making a total of ten. One person is equivalent to ten Chaos Demon Gods, which is ten Grand Luo Golden Immortals of Hunyuan. How could his strength not be formidable?
No one could calculate exactly how strong he was, but he was at least at the fifth or sixth level of the Primordial Chaos realm. And this didn't even take into account the projections of those demon gods.

If we include those demonic projections, then the exact strength of Ao Bing becomes even more unknown. He could potentially be at the late stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, the Great Perfection of the Primordial Chaos realm, or even half a step into the Creation realm.

……

"Unfortunately, the vital energy is still too little, not enough to evolve the projection of three thousand demon gods."

Ao Bing had no idea what others were thinking, nor did he care. What he cared about was that his strength was about to reach its limit.

The primordial energy gushing forth from the primordial wilderness and the boundless starry sky was dwindling. Clearly, their replenishment had reached its limit; they could no longer provide an infinite amount of primordial energy to help Ao Bing grow stronger.

However, after the primordial energy dissipated, Ao Bing's cultivation level was not yet complete. Not only had all three thousand Chaos Demon Gods been generated, but even his projections were few, numbering only a hundred or so.

Hundreds of demon god projections and nine chaotic demon gods—this is Ao Bing's current strength.

One person is worth 110 Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial Chaos Realm. If he goes all out, he can probably fight against a powerhouse at the eleventh or twelfth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm. As for whether he can win, we'll only know after the fight.

Of course, this is about skill, not about spiritual attainment.

Although Ao Bing's strength is close to the perfection of Hunyuan, his realm is still at the early stage of Hunyuan, the first level.

The three thousand demon gods are divided into twelve parts, with two hundred and fifty demon gods in each part. In other words, Ao Bing can only reach the second level of the Primordial Chaos Realm after he has condensed two hundred and fifty-one Chaos Demon Gods.

After that, for every 250 more Chaos Demons, his realm would rise by one level.

Ao Bing has only condensed nine Chaos Demon Gods so far, and is still far from the perfection of the first level, let alone the perfection of the twelfth level. It's a long way off.

"And merit!"

"Repairing the starry sky is a great achievement, and reshaping the primordial world is also a great achievement. These are merits sufficient to create a sage."

"Even if I share some with others, the rest can give rise to several Grand Luo Golden Immortals. After absorbing them, I think I can stabilize my strength at the Grand Luo Perfection level."

Ao Bing remembered something else and couldn't help but feel hopeful. This time, he had truly made a great contribution to the primordial world, no less than recreating it.

Let's put it this way: aside from Pangu creating the world, the greatest act of merit in the primordial world is what he is doing now. He is cultivating the starry sky, creating a smaller primordial world, and incidentally rebuilding the larger primordial world as well.

The amount of merit he accumulated was beyond imagination. Even Ao Bing couldn't fathom how much merit Heaven would bestow upon him as a reward.

But it must be an unbelievable amount. After absorbing it, he will definitely be able to advance his cultivation further and evolve several more Chaos Demon Gods.

With this in mind, Ao Bing no longer hesitated and directly asked the Heavenly Dao for the merit he deserved.

Of course, he has to ask for it proactively. If Ao Bing doesn't ask for it proactively, although Heaven won't renege on its debt, it will definitely delay as much as possible, or even pay him in installments.

There's no way around it; there's just too much merit to give away. Even the Heavenly Dao would be severely weakened if it had to release so much merit all at once. Therefore, to preserve its vitality, the Heavenly Dao will most likely choose to pay in installments.

This means that the payment is not made in one lump sum, but rather a portion of the merit is paid to Ao Bing at regular intervals.

There are many advantages to doing this. First, it can alleviate the pressure on the Heavenly Dao itself. Second, the longer it drags on, the greater the uncertainty becomes.

If Ao Bing makes a mistake during the installment payment period, Heaven has a reason to deduct part of his merits and not award them, under the guise of atonement, leaving Ao Bing with no room for argument.

……

Just as Ao had predicted, when he contacted the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao did not immediately agree to his request, but instead fell into great hesitation.

Merit is not something that appears out of thin air; it is formed from the primordial energy of the Heavenly Dao, containing all the mysteries of the world and being the source of the Great Dao of the Primordial World.

That is why merit is omnipotent, able to directly improve one's cultivation level without any cost.

Since it is formed from the original Qi of the Heavenly Dao, it means that merit is not something that can be obtained in large quantities, but rather needs to be condensed by the Heavenly Dao little by little.

Normally, the speed at which Heaven condenses merit is faster than the speed at which all living beings in the primordial world acquire merit.

It is precisely because of this that countless years have passed, allowing the Heavenly Dao to accumulate a great deal of merit.

These merits would have been more than enough, but this sudden change has completely disrupted the rhythm of the Heavenly Way.

His stored merit was insufficient; the merit gained by Ao Bing alone nearly wiped out all of His reserves.

But Ao Bing wasn't the only one who contributed to the primordial world this time. The creators of the four realms and the powerful figures who besieged the Chaos Demon God also deserved merit.

Not to mention, now that the primordial world is newly reborn, it is in a time of great need for reconstruction. In order to better develop the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao must leave behind a considerable amount of merit for future needs.

In this situation, even if Ao Bing asked Heaven for merit, Heaven would not be able to provide it, even if it wanted to.

All the merits have been given to Ao Bing. How can we live like this afterward? The merits that were given to others and those used to develop the prehistoric world have all gone nowhere.

Of course, if Heaven were to harden its heart and not hesitate to squeeze the primordial origin, it could still extract enough merit in a short period of time.

But clearly, the Heavenly Dao would never do something that would damage the very foundation of the primordial world.

After many years, the primordial world finally showed signs of revival. If it hadn't been destroyed by the Chaos Demon God, but instead was, it would have been destroyed by Him. In that case, even without outside intervention, the Heavenly Dao itself would have collapsed. Therefore, after careful consideration, the Heavenly Dao decided not to bestow merit upon Ao Bing, but to compensate him in another way.

"If you don't give merit points, what else will you give?"

To be honest, Ao Bing was very dissatisfied with this result, because there were two indispensable conditions for him to break through: one was enough primordial energy, and the other was the mark of the Chaos Demon God.

Merit is the primordial energy of the Heavenly Dao, considered one of the highest powers in the world, and an essential element for Ao Bing to rapidly improve his cultivation.

To put it bluntly, if he absorbed all the merits he deserved, it would be enough to save him hundreds of trillions of years of arduous cultivation, allowing him to condense hundreds of demon god projections in one go.

Although the demon god projections are not as powerful as the Chaos Demon Gods, they are still at the Primordial Chaos level. With a few hundred more demon god projections, Ao Bing would be invincible at the Primordial Chaos level.

With such a prospect before him, Ao Bing was naturally unwilling to give it up. However, he did not object immediately, but instead prepared to listen to the conditions offered by Heaven.

Heaven is impartial; since it has decided to forgo bestowing merit upon him and instead choose to compensate him in another way, the compensation it provides will certainly be no less valuable than the merit he deserves.

Thinking about it this way, as long as the merits bestowed by Heaven are appropriate enough, it's not impossible to agree.

"The Supreme Primordial Chaos Heaven?"

After a while, Ao Bing learned from the Heavenly Dao about His compensation conditions and handed over part of the control of the Supreme Primordial Heaven.

The name of this Supreme Primordial Heaven is extremely unfamiliar; I have never heard of it before, because it is a world that has just emerged from the Heavenly Dao, and its birth occurred after the Four Great Realms.

The Supreme Primordial Heaven, the core of the primordial world, is the key to the primordial world's advancement to the Eternal Realm.

This is an eternal secret realm, containing a part of the eternal mystery. Deep within it lies the rudimentary form of the Great Dao, the beginning of everything, the source of all the Great Dao and rules.

The term "Half-Step Eternal Realm" might be a more fitting way to describe the Supreme Primordial Heaven. It is a world that transcends all other realms, a prototype of the eternal world, created by gathering all the essence of the primordial era.

Previously, the Primordial World had devoured the primordial imprints of nine Chaos Demon Gods. These imprints were used in this way, merging with the Primordial World's origin and further evolving into a half-step Eternal Realm.

It is only in its embryonic form now, but as time goes by, more and more chaotic demons will be devoured by the Heavenly Dao, and this supreme primordial heaven will undoubtedly become more and more perfect, and sooner or later it will transform into a complete eternal world.

At that time, Ao Bing, who possessed partial control over the Supreme Primordial Heaven, could achieve a cultivation level of half-step into eternity even without doing anything.

Besides, although the current Supreme Primordial Heaven is only the prototype of the Eternal Great World, it still has many mysteries that can help Ao Bing perfect the Great Dao Imprint.

There are other ways to obtain the Great Dao Imprint than just hunting Chaos Demons, but this method is the most direct. Once successful, one can obtain the complete Great Dao Imprint.

In addition, with strong comprehension, one can also deduce the complete Dao imprint. However, this not only requires extraordinary comprehension but also consumes a lot of energy and time, making it far less simple and direct than hunting Chaos Demons.

The emergence of the Supreme Primordial Heaven undoubtedly solved this problem. Simply placing the incomplete Great Dao imprint into it would allow the nascent Great Dao within the Supreme Primordial Heaven to spontaneously complete the imprint.

Although it also takes a long time, its efficiency is at least tens of thousands of times that of Ao Bing. Moreover, as the Supreme Primordial Heaven becomes more and more perfect in the future, this time will be greatly shortened.

From this perspective, Heaven's sincerity is quite evident. Knowing that withholding merit from him would hinder his cultivation, Heaven compensates him in another way by shortening the time he needs to deduce the Great Dao imprint.

Therefore, Ao Bing hesitated for only a moment before gladly accepting the conditions of Heaven.

In reality, he had no choice at all. Since Heaven had given him a second option, it meant that the first option was simply impossible. Anyone with a modicum of sense would know what to choose.

If you don't have enough merit, you simply can't produce it, and you can't force it. Even if Ao Bing turns against the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't risk consuming the potential of the primordial world to provide him with enough merit.

Even if he turned against the Heavenly Dao, he wouldn't get the merit he wanted. Ao Bing must be crazy to choose to go against the Heavenly Dao. Naturally, he should obediently choose the compensation He gave him to avoid being resented by Him.

"Compared to primordial energy, the imprint of the Great Dao is much harder to repair. So, if you calculate it that way, I haven't lost anything; in fact, I've gained something."

Ao Bing indeed thought so. Since the ability to create something from nothing was discovered, vital energy was no longer as scarce as before, and the difficulty of obtaining it was greatly reduced.

Even if the energy he generates himself is far from enough to meet his cultivation needs, he can still obtain a large amount of energy by purchasing it from others.

With so many powerful beings in the primordial world, there must be some whose vital energy is so abundant that they could be traded with Ao Bing in exchange for various scarce resources.

It's hard to say now, but in the future, it's certain that over 90% of the top-tier resources in the primordial world will be concentrated in the hands of Ao Bing, who controls the boundless starry sky and the miniature primordial world.

This is beyond doubt, because the Lesser Primordial Wilderness and the Boundless Starry Sky are the center of the Primordial World, the most favorable environment.

The more favorable the environment, the more abundant and precious the resources will be. Therefore, it is a normal law of development that top-tier resources are concentrated in Ao Bing's hands, and it is completely unavoidable.

Furthermore, Ao Bing is not necessarily lacking in vital energy. The Chaos Demon God within him is not merely an incarnation of the Great Dao, but can also be considered a separate entity capable of cultivating independently.

In other words, they can also create something from nothing, drawing energy from the chaos and nothingness, satisfying their own cultivation needs while providing Ao Bing with sufficient energy.

Therefore, the biggest problem affecting Ao Bing's progress is not the lack of vital energy, but the difficulty in completing the Great Dao imprint.

……

boom! ! !
As Ao Bing completed his breakthrough and reached the astonishing eleventh or twelfth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm, one after another great star was born in the vast starry sky.

Soon, all 840 million stars were projected by Ao Bing, silently revolving along mysterious trajectories, making the vast, dark starry sky much brighter and more dazzling.

Starry sky projection, turning the illusion into reality!
The Dao Ancestor's supreme methods greatly inspired Ao Bing.

Since the Dao Ancestor could project countless worlds of all sizes in advance by refining the false into the real, Ao Bing could naturally use the same method to project 840 million stars in advance.

In this way, the starry sky, which would normally take many years to be further reshaped, can be further reshaped in a short period of time, reaching a new peak.

Rumble!
With the reappearance of 840 million stars, the origin of the starry sky has greatly increased, and more and more starlight has surged forth, converging together to form vast seas of stars.

In addition, Ao Bing's future Dao body, formed from the starry sky, became increasingly solid, and a vast and boundless aura flowed from his body, filling the entire primordial world. (End of this chapter)
