Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

"you……"

With their weakness exposed, Donghuang and the others were completely speechless, because they realized that everyone was right. If they really had to part ways, they would undoubtedly suffer the greatest loss.

Even if others suffer losses, they cannot compare to them.

Although everyone can benefit from cooperating with Ao Bing, the benefits are clearly not as great as those from cooperating with him.

After all, even if Ao Bing were the most generous, he could only give up half of the benefits at most, and maybe not even half. As for three-quarters, forget about it, it's simply impossible.

However, by cooperating with them, they could obtain three-quarters of the profits. This is why everyone chose to cooperate with them instead of Ao Bing.

The benefits of cooperating with them are greater.

That's why no one would back down when it comes to interests. Three-quarters is their bottom line; if Donghuang and the others aren't willing to accept that, they might as well cooperate with Ao Bing.

If it weren't for profit, who would be willing to risk offending Ao Bing to cooperate with them?

"it is good!"

After much hesitation, Donghuang and the others finally agreed reluctantly. They had no choice; agreeing would preserve a quarter of their interests, while disagreeing would mean losing even that.

"you……"

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the First Emperor felt utterly helpless upon seeing this. They wanted to object, but they were outnumbered and powerless, and no one listened to their words.

How could the combined strength of the two of them influence the will of the masses?

It's too late to defy public anger!

In fact, even if Ao Bing himself were here, let alone the two of them, it would be difficult to change anything in the face of the will of the crowd.

The situation is now very clear: Ao Bing's power is too great, and everyone is afraid. So much so that even without it being said explicitly, they have subconsciously started to stick together for warmth.

This matter is less about them secretly dividing up the Demon Realm's interests behind Ao Bing's back, and more about them subconsciously uniting to try and curb Ao Bing's momentum.

In this situation, even if the First Emperor and the Tongtian Sect Leader wanted to speak up for Ao Bing, what could they do? No one would listen.

………………

While everyone was arguing endlessly about dividing up the spoils of the Demon Realm, the Demon Ancestor, who had left with Yang Mei, asked him with a puzzled expression:
"With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to rescue me. Why offer such a treasure as the World Tree Seed?"

"It should be known that while there is a possibility of refining Chaos Treasures, Chaos Spiritual Roots are truly something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after. They require a great stroke of luck to find."

The Demon Ancestor was quite puzzled, because there was something he couldn't say: in his own opinion, his own value was incomparable to that of the World Tree Seed.

Therefore, Yang Mei's previous actions were truly perplexing. There were many ways to rescue him from his predicament; why use a World Tree seed in exchange?

"It's just an open conspiracy!"

“I wasn’t lying before; there really is a problem with that World Tree seed. It needs to be nourished with a large amount of half-step Eternal Power to revive it.”

"That's the crux of the problem. Although there are many places in the Primordial World that can produce half-step Eternal Qi, there are even more places that need to use half-step Eternal Qi."

"If they use this half-step Eternal Qi to revive the World Tree seed, it will undoubtedly delay the development of the Primordial World, thus buying us more time."

"On the contrary, if they are unwilling to part with these half-step Eternal Qi, then the World Tree seeds that cannot take root and sprout are useless to them, worthless. Even if they are given them, it will not bring them any benefit."

Yang Mei explained that his decision to hand over the World Tree seed was undoubtedly well-thought-out and not a sudden act.

Before he made the decision, he had already determined that even if he handed over the World Tree seed, it would not only fail to bring any benefits to the prehistoric world for a considerable period of time, but would also greatly deplete the prehistoric world's resources, thereby delaying its development.

Since the World Tree seed can delay the development of the prehistoric world, handing it over to the prehistoric world would undoubtedly be more beneficial than harmful to the Chaos Demon God, so why not do it?
"That's the logic, but the value of the World Tree is undeniable. In the early stages, the investment may far outweigh the returns, but it will be different later on. The returns will far outweigh the investment, bringing a continuous stream of benefits to the prehistoric world."

After hesitating for a long time, the Demon God finally spoke. What Yang Mei described was only temporary; before the World Tree fully matured, the investment indeed far outweighed the return.

But as it matures, there will only be returns, no more investment. The benefits it brings to the primordial world will far exceed imagination.

Let's put it this way: once the World Tree has grown, the difficulty for the Chaos Demon God to destroy the primordial world will at least double.

Therefore, the Demon Ancestor believed that Yang Mei's move was undoubtedly a bad one.

"How long will it take for the World Tree to grow? Billions of years, or trillions of years?"

"You have to understand that the current prehistoric world is much stronger than the prehistoric world of the past, so it will naturally take much longer for the World Tree to have any effect on it."

"During this long period of time, the development of the prehistoric world will always be hampered by the World Tree. Under such circumstances, if we cannot destroy the prehistoric world, then there will be no hope for the future."

"There was no hope to begin with, so what difference would it make if we added another World Tree to help us?"

Yang Mei said wearily, expressing his pessimism about the future of the Chaos Demon God.

In his view, even with the World Tree holding him back, the Chaos Demon God was unable to destroy the primordial world before it came to fruition. Therefore, regardless of whether the World Tree existed or not, it meant that the Chaos Demon God had already lost the ability to destroy the primordial world.

If that's the case, then what's the point of the Demon Ancestor's worries? The war between the Chaos Demon God and the Primordial World simply cannot last until the World Tree grows. Until then, it's either defeat or victory; there is no third option.

"This……"

The Demon Ancestor was stunned, because he had also figured it out. The truth was indeed as Yang Mei had said: handing over the World Tree seed to the Primordial World was more beneficial than harmful to them, the Chaos Demon Gods.

If they don't give the World Tree seed to the Primordial World, how can they take the opportunity to weaken them? If they don't weaken them, and watch the Primordial World keep getting stronger, how can the Chaos Demons destroy it?

"Brother Dao sees further than I do," the Demon Ancestor said with shame. This time, he had been short-sighted and failed to see through Yang Mei's scheme.

"These things are not important, let's not talk about them anymore. The most important thing right now is to revive the rest of our fellow Daoists as soon as possible."

"If they don't revive, how can they regain their strength? And if they can't regain their strength, how can the two of us alone contend with the ever-growing primordial gods?"

Yang Mei said worriedly, "The growth rate of the gods in the primordial world is getting faster and faster. The Primordial Era is about to arrive, and at that time, there will be more and more Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the primordial world."

With a large number of Primordial Golden Immortals, beings will naturally emerge who surpass this realm and cultivate to the Limitless Creation Realm.

The Chaos Demon God might underestimate a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. But not a Limitless Grand Luo Golden Immortal, because the Chaos Demon God himself was only at that level in his previous life. They are merely arrogant, not foolish; why would they discriminate against beings of the same realm? In fact, they would treat them with utmost respect.

Therefore, Yang Mei did not want beings of this realm to emerge in the primordial world. In his opinion, the decisive battle between the Chaos Demon God and the primordial world should ideally break out in the middle of the Primordial Era, and at the latest, in the middle to late stages.

We can't delay any longer; the longer we wait, the more unfavorable the situation will become for the Chaos Demon God. Because from the late Primordial Era onwards, a large number of Limitless Golden Immortals will inevitably begin to emerge in the primordial world, thus ushering in the Limitless Era.

When the era of Wuji truly arrives, the Chaos Gods will no longer have any advantage over the Primordial World. Let alone destroying the Primordial World, whether they can even survive the siege of the Primordial World's powerful beings is another matter entirely.

"After the chaos was destroyed, we had no future. On the contrary, the future of the primordial world was entirely in their hands because of Pangu's creation of the world."

"Therefore, the longer the situation drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us."

The Demon Ancestor wholeheartedly agreed with Yang Mei's words. If they, a group of people with no future, could defeat the gods of the primordial world who held the future if they fought swiftly and decisively.

But if this drags on, giving the primordial gods enough time to grow, those who control the future will undoubtedly become stronger and stronger, eventually surpassing the Chaos Gods step by step.

Therefore, the Chaos Gods don't have much time left. If they don't all be resurrected to prepare for the final battle, they will really have no chance in the future.

"It's not difficult to persuade fellow Daoists to be resurrected. Who would want to die if they could live? The difficulty lies in how to resurrect them without disturbing the Heavenly Dao."

As a contestant who had been resurrected multiple times, the Demon Ancestor was very familiar with this path. Therefore, he knew that resurrecting the Chaos Demon God was not difficult; the difficulty lay in how to deceive the Heavenly Dao.

Regarding the relationship between the Chaos God and the Heavenly Dao, if the news of the resurrection is not kept from the Heavenly Dao, then basically every resurrected one will die.

Therefore, if we cannot deceive Heaven, then it is better to let them continue to die than to let them be resurrected.

"Then let us be resurrected in the chaos!"

"No matter how strong the power of the Heavenly Dao is, it can only influence the primordial world, not interfere with the chaos!"

Yang Mei said in a deep voice. Since he brought up this matter, he must have some ideas in mind.

A resurrection in the primordial world cannot be hidden from the Heavenly Dao, but a resurrection in the Chaos can be discovered by the Heavenly Dao. In that case, the Chaos Demon God might as well just surrender. What's the point of fighting? He simply can't win.

"The primordial source is abundant, and the offerings are plentiful. Those fellow Daoists who are resurrected in the primordial world will have the strength of great supernatural beings as soon as they appear. After cultivating for a while, they can recover to the Primordial Realm."

"If they are resurrected in chaos, their strength will be reduced to its original state, and they will have to start cultivating again from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

The Demon Ancestor hesitated slightly before speaking. He knew that it would be easier to revive the Chaos Demon God in the Chaos, but the difference in strength would be difficult to overcome.

Because all the Chaos Gods perished in the Primordial World, being resurrected in the Primordial World is better than being resurrected in the Chaos.

"This matter is simple. Due to the influence of the War of Creation, Chaos has undergone many changes in recent years, not only giving birth to more living beings, but also giving birth to some worlds."

"Sacrificing them all would be enough to restore those fellow cultivators to the Primordial Chaos Realm."

Yang Mei said in a cold tone, "Originally, the chaos was perfected, and the Great Dao suppressed everything. Therefore, only the Chaos Demon God was born. Apart from that, there were no other living beings."

However, with the outbreak of the war of creation and the opening of the primordial world, the chaos became flawed.

From this point on, while Chaos no longer possessed the ability to give birth to Chaos Gods, it was no longer limited in its ability to give birth to living beings. As Chaos changed, more and more living beings were born.

Although they are not as powerful as the Chaos Gods, if they were thrown into the primordial world, even the least talented among them could rival the top-tier innate gods and demons, and most of them could stand shoulder to shoulder with the innate saints.

If this were during the era when the Chaos God ruled over Chaos, even if these beings were born, their final fate would not be good; they would become food for the Chaos God.

But now, with the Chaos Gods being wiped out by the Great God Pangu, they have been given room to grow, making them the dominant force in the Chaos and giving rise to many powerful figures.

The best among them even emulated the great god Pangu in creating the world and evolving it from chaos.

There were also some powerful beings who, fearing that failure in creating the world would lead to their own demise, sought out some nascent world embryos to use as a basis for evolving the world and becoming the progenitor of a world.

Yang Mei had her sights set on them.

Although they are not as powerful as the Chaos Gods, they are still beings born from Chaos. Using them as sacrifices to resurrect the Chaos Gods would undoubtedly allow those deceased Chaos Gods to possess power comparable to the Primordial Chaos upon resurrection.

Is Chaos this lively right now?

The Demon Ancestor has been living in the primordial world all these years and is unaware of the changes in chaos. However, since Yang Mei said so, it's clearly not false.

That would be good news, as it would solve a lot of problems.

…………

On Yangmei Demon Ancestor's side, they prepared to clear away the chaos in order to resurrect the Chaos Demon God. Meanwhile, in the Primordial World, Ao Bing, who was still unable to perfect the formation, decided to change his approach.

As the saying goes, all problems stem from insufficient luck. With enough luck, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Ao Bing deeply agreed with this statement, to the point that he developed a path dependency, always thinking of ways to improve his luck whenever he encountered a problem.

This was true before, and it is true now.

"The Demon Realm?"

When it comes to improving one's luck, the first thing that comes to Ao Bing's mind is the Demon Realm.

Given his current status and position, nothing that happens in the prehistoric world can be kept from him, let alone a major event like the opening of the Demon Realm. It would be difficult for him not to know about it.

Do people think that by sharing the benefits of the Demon Realm behind his back, they can bypass him and confirm the matter? It's laughable. His inaction is not out of helplessness, but because he is confident and already has a solution.

Now is the time for him to make his move.

A wisp of divine thought silently separated and, in an instant, traversed the boundless world, arriving in the nascent demon realm.

"The demonic path is also part of the primordial world. How can it escape the control of the Heavenly Dao and fall into the hands of the Chaos Demon God? Now is the time for the demonic path to return to the right path."

Deep within the Demon Realm, gazing upon the very source of the Demon Realm before him, Ao Bing revealed a smile.

The so-called origin of the demon realm is the result of the combination of the world's origin and endless resentment. (End of Chapter)
