Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

It should be understood that if it had not become the companion spiritual treasure of the Great God Pangu, and had not had all its creative energy absorbed by him, the Chaos Green Lotus could have given birth to a Creation Demon God.

Why was Pangu so powerful, far surpassing the other Chaos Gods? Wasn't it because he was the most favored by heaven, with a foundation far exceeding that of the other Chaos Gods?

The unborn Creation God had already become a part of him.

If the Chaos Lotus can give birth to a Creation Demon God, then the World Tree can similarly give birth to a World Demon God. Therefore, the value of the Chaos Spiritual Root World Tree far exceeds that of a single Chaos Demon God.

The Great Immortal Yangmei took out this item and made a deal with the demons, asking them to release the Demon Ancestor. The demons had no reason to refuse.

"Ok?"

"Using the Chaos Spiritual Root to exchange for the Demon Ancestor, could there be something wrong with the Chaos Spiritual Root? Otherwise, this exchange is completely not worthwhile."

The demons weren't stupid; they weren't stunned by the windfall, but immediately questioned it.

It wasn't that they were being rude, but rather that the Demon Ancestor was truly not worth that price. A flawless Chaos Spiritual Root, even if it were just a seed, was something the mere Demon Ancestor could not compare to.

But if it's a problematic World Tree seed, then it's a different story. Replacing it with a Demon Ancestor, while costing a premium, isn't entirely unworthy considering the Demon Ancestor's contributions to the Chaos Demon God.

“Of course there are problems. If there were no problems, would you dare to take it?” Yang Mei did not hide anything and said frankly, “In the war of creation, although the World Tree did not participate, it was affected just like the Chaos Pearl.”

"But the World Tree was a little luckier. The Chaos Pearl was completely shattered and could not be restored. But the World Tree was only reborn from the ashes and transformed back into a seed."

"Of course, because the injury was too severe, even if it turned back into a seed, it will not be easy for it to take root and sprout again. It needs to be nourished with the energy of half-step eternity."

The battle that created the world was too devastating. Even the World Tree, which did not participate in the battle, was destroyed and had to undergo a rebirth, transforming back into a seed.

However, even after turning into a seed, the Daoist essence left on it from the great battle of the past was still hard to erase, which made it difficult for it to take root and sprout again.

After Yang Mei Daxian unexpectedly found the World Tree seed, he tried every means but failed to revive it. In the end, he had to admit that reviving the World Tree seed was beyond his ability and required the intervention of a being at the half-step Eternal Realm.

For this reason, this item became a double-edged sword for Yang Mei; it was useless to keep but a pity to discard.

Otherwise, why would he be willing to use such a treasure to exchange for the Demon Ancestor's safety?

"Too!"

Upon hearing this, the demons agreed to Yang Mei's deal. After all, whether the World Tree had any problems was unimportant to them; what mattered was that it was the World Tree seed.

As long as it is, offering it as a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao can persuade the Heavenly Dao to remove the hidden danger for them.

Both sides were very sincere, so the transaction went smoothly. The World Tree seed successfully fell into the hands of the demons, and the Demon Ancestor also left safely.

Only then did the saints arrive, albeit late. Though they were late, it was not intentional; they had truly done their best.

Because the internal strife within the demonic path broke out so suddenly, they were completely unprepared for it. As a result, when the internal strife broke out, they were at a critical moment of seclusion and were unable to react immediately.

By the time they realized what was happening and rushed over as fast as they could, it was too late; the transaction had already been completed and both sides had left.

"hateful!"

Looking in the direction where the Demon Ancestor had left, the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Styx Ancestor spoke bitterly, while the Eastern Emperor was also filled with resentment.

The first two did so because they coveted the insights gained from the Demon Ancestor. After the Tongtian Sect Leader killed the Demon Ancestor, he could enhance his understanding of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, thus paving the way for his future path to the Limitless Creation Realm.

The same applies to the Styx River. After killing the Demon Ancestor, he gained insights into the innate path of slaughter, which can pave the way to the Boundless Realm.

The Eastern Emperor was different; he was not interested in the Demon Ancestor's Dao, but only in killing the Demon Ancestor himself.

Didn't Ao Bing say before that demons and monsters are equal and both are objects that everyone should kill?
In this situation, if he were to kill the Demon Ancestor and achieve such a great feat, Ao Bing's previous words would naturally become a joke, and no one would take them seriously anymore.

This matter concerns the future of the demon race, and the Eastern Emperor cannot afford to be indifferent. Therefore, seeing the Demon Ancestor leave and missing a golden opportunity to kill him, the Eastern Emperor was naturally unwilling.

Everyone wasn't blind; how could they not see that the Demon Ancestor was in very bad shape? If they could keep him here, he would surely die, even with Yang Mei's help?

Unfortunately, they arrived too late and missed a great opportunity.

Faced with this situation, not to mention the three of them, even though the others didn't show it on their faces, they were all filled with regret.

If they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have gone into seclusion in the first place. Not only did they gain nothing from such a short seclusion, but they also missed the opportunity to kill the Demon Ancestor. It was truly a huge loss.

"Why isn't Renlong here?"

At this moment, someone noticed something was wrong. The sages and the Great Luo Immortals of the Primordial World had all arrived, but Ao Bing was nowhere to be seen, which was illogical.

It should be noted that Ao Bing at this time was no longer the same as before. Although no one admitted it, it was no use for them not to admit it. Ao Bing was already the de facto leader of the righteous path in the prehistoric world, holding the reins of the righteous path and the Xuanmen.

Therefore, for such a momentous event as the extermination of the Demon Ancestor, no one else could be left out but him.

"He didn't come for such a big event, which means there must be something more important holding him back, leaving him no time for anything else."

"And now, the only thing more important than slaying the Demon Ancestor is the creation of the Demon Realm. Could it be that the one secretly orchestrating the creation of the Demon Realm is the Human-Dragon?"

Some people seemed to have guessed something, while others were bold enough to voice their guesses directly.

Indeed, they suspected that Ao Bing's absence was due to his secret involvement in the creation of the Demon Realm. This matter must have held him back, preventing him from coming.

At this point, no one doubted that the Demon Realm was created by powerful demonic cultivators. It was an obvious fact that unless all powerful demonic cultivators were fools, they would never have created the Demon Realm at this time.

What difference is there between opening up the Demon Realm at this time and giving it away to the Xuanmen sect for free?
Therefore, the person who opened up the demon realm could only be a member of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), not a member of the demon realm.

"What a brilliant idea! Why didn't we think of it? To open up the Demon Realm before the Demon Path, and then refine it. Not only did it cut off the possibility of the Demon Path's rise, but it also made a great contribution to our Xuanmen." "No wonder the Human Dragon was able to surpass us later, with cultivation far exceeding ours. In terms of wisdom, we are indeed inferior."

"If I hadn't witnessed his actions, I wouldn't have thought of this. I'm getting old, really old. The younger generation is truly formidable."

One of the great masters exclaimed, once again expressing his admiration for Ao Bing's wisdom.

Nobody believes that Ao Bing's creation of the Demon Realm was an act of collusion with the demonic path. What a joke! Given Ao Bing's current status, who would dare say that he was colluding with the demonic path?

Even if he now becomes sworn brothers with the Demon Ancestor and frequently associates with the Chaos Demon God, people will only think that he is scheming against the Demon Ancestor and the Chaos Demon God, and will not think that he has betrayed the Primordial World.

Having risen to become the leader of the righteous path in the primordial world, why would he betray it? What would he be after? Or rather, what could the Chaos God offer him?
The Chaos God could give him nothing but devour him. Therefore, anyone could betray the Primordial World, except Ao Bing.

Just like the Eastern Emperor or the Two Sages of the West, if they were the ones who created the Demon Realm, even if their purpose in creating the Demon Realm was good, such as to refine demons, Ao Bing could still jump out and accuse them of colluding with the demonic path.

The evidence is readily available. They've already helped the demonic path open up the demonic realm. How can you say that the demon race didn't collude with the demonic path, and that the Western Religion and the demonic path are not of the same origin? Aren't you treating everyone like idiots?
As for proving that his purpose in establishing the Demon Realm was to refine demons, not to collude with the demonic path.

Ao Bing and the powerful cultivators of the Xuanmen sect simply chuckled at this. They were just nitpicking; they had mouths, so why wouldn't they find fault?

It's nothing more than cutting off one's tail to survive. Seeing that things were hopeless, they turned what was meant to help the demon into what was meant to refine the demon. If others didn't notice, it was considered helping the demon; if others did notice, it was considered slaying the demon. This kind of method is nothing new.

Furthermore, with powerful figures from the Xuanmen sect present, would the Western Sect and the Eastern Emperor sect really be willing to refine demons? If they truly created the Demon Realm, the Xuanmen sect would have dared to seize it the moment it was created and then carry out the demon-slaying themselves.

In this way, the pots and pans all belong to others, while all the credit goes to them.

"In the primordial world, only dragons and humans could come up with such a plan."

The two Western Saints also sighed, their faces showing expressions of self-reproach. The Eastern Emperor's expression was also grim; he harbored a deep-seated hatred for Ao Bing and naturally did not wish to see him succeed.

"It is truly enviable that Brother Shangqing has such a disciple."

At this moment, the two Western Saints looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader and said with envy.

That's the truth. According to their calculations, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Jie Sect should be expelled after the Immortal Gods' Calamity.

However, as Ao Bing pressed closer and closer, Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to break the rules first in order to protect his disciple, forcibly rescuing Taiyi Zhenren, who should have been on the list, and replacing him with Nezha.

His actions undoubtedly set an example for Ao Bing and the Tongtian Sect Leader, who naturally followed suit. They rescued all the disciples who should have been on the list.

To put it simply, in the recent calamity between immortals and gods, although many disciples of the Jie Sect died, they were all those who deserved to die. Those who did not deserve to die, namely the most elite members of the Jie Sect, did not die at all.

Even if someone is listed on the Investiture of the Gods, it is an incarnation that represents them, and it does not affect them in the slightest.

This incident not only prevented the Jie Sect from being wiped out, but also brought them good fortune, as they were purified and became even stronger.

The changes in the Jie Sect are all due to the fact that the Tongtian Sect Leader took in Ao Bing as a good disciple. How could everyone not feel envious when they saw this?
In addition, as Ao Bing grew stronger, he occupied more and more of the world's fortune. Even if his master, the Tongtian Sect Leader, did nothing, he could still take a significant portion of that fortune from him.

This is what everyone envies most. Right now, Ao Bing controls an immense amount of fortune; even just one percent of it would be enough to benefit them immensely.

Not to mention, what the Tongtian Sect Leader received from Ao Bing was far more than one percent.

The master-disciple relationship between Ao Bing and Tongtian Jiaozhu was genuine, unlike the master-disciple relationship between Taiqing Shengren and Xihuang, which was purely transactional and devoid of any affection.

Therefore, the stronger Ao Bing becomes, the more the Tongtian Sect Leader will gain. If nothing unexpected happens, the Tongtian Sect Leader's strength will soon catch up with, or even surpass, that of the Taiqing Saint.

There's no other reason than that he had a good apprentice.
Whenever they thought of this, they were filled with regret. If they had known that Ao Bing was so extraordinary, they would have taken him as their disciple first. Why did they let the Tongtian Sect Leader benefit from him?

"It's all thanks to Renlong's own hard work; I didn't offer him much help."

The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled modestly, feeling quite emotional. Back then, he had only thought that Ao Bing had good talent and was expected to cultivate the Innate Qi to the highest level, which was why he decided to take him as his disciple.

Back then, he could never have imagined that Ao Bing would achieve such success. The Tongtian Sect Master was already quite satisfied with Ao Bing's attainment of Quasi-Saint status; reaching the Hunyuan realm or higher was something he dared not even dream of.

All I can say is that Ao Bing is too outstanding; even his master was taken aback.

Boom!

Just as everyone was marveling at the scene, a huge fluctuation suddenly came from the starry sky. Noticing this change, everyone looked over.

Then they saw a towering portal standing above the Lesser Primordial Wilderness, connected to the Chaos behind it. Endless primordial energy surged forth from it, sweeping in all directions.

Its efficiency in absorbing and releasing chaotic primordial energy is unmatched even by many powerful beings at the Creation Realm, which is truly terrifying.

Below this portal, Ao Bing sat cross-legged, surrounded by three thousand intertwined Daos, constantly evolving as if to conceive something.

At the same time, within the Buzhou Cauldron, three thousand different kinds of Dao Yuan Qi surged forth continuously, surrounding Ao Bing and helping him perfect the three thousand Daos.

That portal was a gate of supernatural powers, a manifestation of creation from nothingness; everyone recognized it and had cultivated themselves through it. But they had never seen one as enormous as Ao Bing's before.

"This gate of supernatural power has already surpassed the innate supreme treasure and advanced to the creation supreme treasure. It is a foregone conclusion that it will become the chaos supreme treasure in the future. It is not impossible for it to take another half step forward and advance to the half-step eternal treasure."

The Sage Taiqing regained his senses and asserted. No one objected to this.

This gate of supernatural power is not merely a manifestation of Ao Bing's Dao Fruit, but rather a fusion of the power of all cultivators within the supernatural power system.

With the rise of the supernatural power system in the future, this sect will naturally become stronger and stronger, and it is not impossible that it will be promoted to a half-step eternal treasure. On the contrary, the possibility is very high.

"Those three thousand Great Dao Yuan Qi should be the original Qi of the Chaos Demon God. It can only be said that Buzhou Ding is becoming more and more powerful, actually purifying the Chaos Demon God power contained in the alien flesh and blood to this extent."

The goddess Nuwa seemed to have discerned something, and echoed her sentiments. (End of Chapter)
