Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

While sword consecration is faster than absorption, it still takes time. And during that time, Yang Mei would have enough time to kill and absorb the Demon Ancestor.

"Fight!"

After much deliberation, still unable to find a way out, the Demon Ancestor decided to take a desperate gamble, hoping to survive against all odds and seize a sliver of hope.

Despite having countless schemes in his mind, the Demon Ancestor showed no sign of it on his face. Instead, he continued to follow the original plan, joining forces with Yang Mei to activate the Chaos Array Diagram, connecting it with the chaos to cover as much area as possible.

The chaos was boundless, teeming with countless beings. The Demon Ancestor and Yang Mei claimed they would sacrifice all the chaotic beings, but in reality, this was extremely difficult, as they could not cover the entirety of chaos.

Therefore, the number of chaotic beings they can sacrifice is actually limited, confined to the area covered by the chaotic array. Beyond that range, it depends on luck.

If we're lucky enough to find them, then we'll sacrifice them all; if we're unlucky and they're not found, then we'll just have to let them escape.

The vastness of chaos is conceptual; it is truly boundless and without end. Therefore, statements about chaos encompassing the entirety of chaos are just for show and should not be taken literally.

However, it's unrealistic to cover the entire chaos, but it is realistic to devour it. This is because chaos also has its symbol, which is the three thousand chaos gods.

By devouring all three thousand Chaos Gods, one can essentially devour the entire Chaos. This is why the three thousand Chaos Gods are so crucial; they symbolize the boundless Chaos, and thus, by devouring them, one can achieve the realm of eternity.

Because chaos is boundless, even if the Demon Ancestor and Yang Mei tried their best to activate the Chaos Array Diagram, the area it could cover was limited.

Even if it is limited, it is still larger than the Primordial World, by millions of times. However, although it is large, there are very few living beings inhabiting it. It cannot even compare with one of the Four Great Realms, let alone the entire Primordial World.

Chaos is a truly vast and sparsely populated area, comparable to the primordial wilderness. If there were no great world, it is doubtful that it could support all living beings.

This is the daily life of most chaotic beings. Normally, from birth to death, even if they travel constantly, they may not see another being. They are born to be accompanied by loneliness.

However, things are different now. As the Chaos Array Diagram begins to operate, the Chaos beings scattered in various corners of the Chaos are suddenly drawn towards the location of Yang Mei and the Demon Ancestor by an inexplicable force.

Even though the Chaos Realm was vast and sparsely populated, because it was large enough, it still bred a considerable number of living beings—if not billions, then trillions.

Now, they have mostly been gathered together by the Chaos Array Diagram, forming a vast, spectacular mass of heads.

To put it bluntly, many of these chaotic beings had never seen another being since birth and believed themselves to be the only ones. Now, suddenly seeing so many of their kind, they were completely bewildered and filled with surprise.

It was truly a pleasant surprise. After being lonely for so long, suddenly seeing someone like yourself is an overwhelming joy that is hard to contain, and even the most indifferent person would find it difficult to control themselves.

Unfortunately, the timing is wrong. Even if they are completely clueless, they know that being suddenly gathered here is not a good thing.

The killing intent emanating from the chaotic killing array made them very uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

They wanted to leave, but their cultivation was too weak. Only a very few had reached the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, while the rest were all at the level of Great Supernatural Powers.

Even if there were many of them, their cultivation level would be no match for Yang Mei and the Demon Ancestor, two Limitless Golden Immortals; they would be no different from ants.

As for joining forces, a combined force of billions of powerful individuals could indeed break the deadlock and forcefully escape. However, Yang Mei and the Demon Ancestor were not fools; they had already anticipated this move and made preparations in advance to eliminate the possibility of them joining forces.

Now, they are just a flock of lambs to the slaughter, waiting for the Demon Ancestor to use them as a sacrifice for his sword.

"If I remember correctly, since the beginning of time, many worlds have been born in the chaos. Although most of them have been destroyed, many have been preserved. Why haven't I seen any of them?"

As more and more beings gathered, Yang Mei frowned. These beings, though not weak, were not his primary target. His main target was the great world born from chaos.

The primordial chaos was not the first world born from the primordial chaos; countless worlds had been born before it. However, these worlds, not long after their birth, succumbed to the backlash of chaos and were destroyed once again.

Only the primordial world was the first to withstand the backlash of chaos and survive. Therefore, the primordial world is the most special; it was born from chaos, yet it is stronger than chaos, destined to surpass chaos.

After the primordial chaos was born, it grew increasingly weak, to the point that its backlash power diminished. As a result, more and more worlds were able to survive and take root and flourish within the chaos.

That being said, there is no world that can survive in chaos that is inferior to the universe, and there are even worlds among the myriad realms.

Of course, these myriad worlds were not naturally generated, but rather pieced together by the fusion of hundreds or thousands of worlds of varying sizes through a series of coincidences.

Therefore, although this world is also one of the myriad realms, it is far from comparable to the primordial world.

Yang Mei and the Demon Ancestor's target is this realm. By sacrificing blood in this realm, they can gather enough power to resurrect the three thousand demon gods. The remaining chaotic beings will serve as nourishment for their resurrection and subsequent growth.

"Those worlds may not be as great as the primordial world, but they are still quite powerful. It will certainly take more time to bring them here."

The Demon Ancestor explained that he had no need to hide anything from Yang Mei in this regard, nor would he dare to. It was obvious at a glance, so there was no need to conceal it.

"That's right!" Yang Mei nodded, but still worried, she said, "To prevent any accidents from happening, I should go myself."

"There are still some formidable experts in those worlds. If things don't go their way, they might lead their people away, which would be bad."

"As for you, fellow Daoist, there are already quite a few chaotic beings gathered here. You can begin preparing for the blood sacrifice."

After giving an order to the Demon Ancestor, Yang Mei disappeared from the spot and headed into the depths of chaos.

Seeing him leave, the Demon Ancestor considered leaving as well. But he quickly changed his mind. If he were to leave, he would inevitably have to take the Chaos Array Diagram with him. But if the Chaos Array Diagram disappeared, the blood sacrifice would naturally have to stop.

At that time, Yang Mei would definitely sense it, and with his mastery of space, unless the Demon Ancestor escaped into the chaos now, he would definitely be blocked by him.

With this in mind, the Demon Ancestor immediately abandoned the idea of ​​leaving. He couldn't outrun Yang Mei, so his only option now was to fight to the death.

…………

Deep within the chaos, in a boundless ocean of worlds, a figure enveloped in holy light suddenly awoke from meditation and said uneasily:

“Something’s not right. I have a bad feeling about this. The world’s will is also giving me warnings, as if something big is about to happen.”

As he spoke, he used his supernatural powers to look down over the entire world sea, wanting to see what kind of changes had occurred in this world that made him uneasy, and even caused the world's will to warn him.

"Strange, there's nothing unusual about it."

After a thorough inspection, the world remained unchanged, showing no abnormalities. This discovery, far from relieving the holy being, actually heightened his anxiety. The world's warnings were genuine, but since the world itself was functioning normally, the danger must be coming from outside.

Unbeknownst to him, something might have happened amidst the chaos.

"True God, you have overstepped your bounds."

Suddenly, displeased voices rang out from several other places in the World Sea.

Clearly, the Holy Light Being, whom the other powerful beings called a true god, had angered the other powerful beings in this world by looking down upon the entire world sea.

"Everyone, I don't know if you have sensed anything unusual, but just now the World Will suddenly warned me, as if something unusual was happening deep in the chaos, which could bring us danger."

In the past, given the true god's temperament, he would have definitely taken the opportunity to mock them, so that they would understand who the strongest in this world was.

But things are different now. An unknown calamity is about to strike, and it is the time for everyone to unite against a common enemy. So he didn't bother with small talk and asked directly.

"Has something changed deep within the chaos?"

"So, what you did just now was to find out whether the problem lies in this world or in chaos?"

When the true god spoke of the depths of chaos, everyone fell silent.

They had known for some time that something was wrong deep within the chaos. In recent years, strange auras had been emanating from the depths of chaos from time to time, which had greatly alarmed them.

Since it didn't affect them, they all chose to play dead, pretending nothing had happened.

Because the depths of chaos are too far away from them, and their power is limited, they cannot stop any unforeseen events.

Since that's the case, we might as well pretend nothing happened and enjoy each day as it comes.

After all, they are located in a remote area of ​​chaos, and even if something happens deep within chaos, it may not affect them.

But now, judging from the true god's intentions, they can no longer deceive him. The changes deep within the chaos are growing increasingly significant, already affecting them.

"Chaos is mysterious and unpredictable, especially its depths, which seem to have experienced a terrifying war. The chaotic energy there is more violent than in other places, and it is not suitable for us to live in at all."

"We also explored it together back then, but even with our cultivation levels, it was difficult to stay there for long, and we had to flee back in a sorry state."

After a moment of silence, the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia spoke. She was the most ancient deity in this world, born before the creation of this world, a being of chaos.

In her youth, she explored the Chaos with other chaotic beings, but nearly died in its depths and barely managed to escape back in a sorry state.

From this point on, she was filled with dread about the depths of chaos, regarding it as the most dangerous place, and she would not want to set foot in it again unless absolutely necessary.

"It's because the depths of chaos are very dangerous that changes there affect us."

The true god said unhappily, feeling that this group of people were too cowardly, and that there was no way to gain further opportunities by being with them.

Many years ago, he wanted to expand outwards in order to seek further opportunities.

Unfortunately, these people kept holding him back. If he left, they would immediately attack his business, so he dared not leave at all.

They were like this before, and they're still like this now when faced with danger. What a bunch of useless people.

"Now, we have two paths before us: one is to do nothing and wait to die, and the other is to go into the depths of chaos, find out what happened, and then make a plan."

Too lazy to argue with these useless fools, the true god directly stated his thoughts. He figured they wouldn't just sit and wait to die; they'd definitely want to figure out what happened before finding a solution.

“There’s no need to go into the depths of chaos anymore. I already know what happened. The ancient Chaos God seems to have been resurrected and is using special methods to collect chaotic beings to perform a blood sacrifice ritual.”

At this moment, in the eastern part of the World Sea, an ancestral god named Brahma spoke.

Ancestral God, this is the term used in this world to refer to a Primordial Chaos expert. The previous True God and Earth Mother Goddess were both experts at this level.

The difference is that the rest are at the early or middle stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, while the True God has already stepped into the late stage of the Primordial Chaos realm.

"The Chaos God has revived?"

The true god seemed to be deep in thought. As beings of chaos, how could they not know about the Chaos Demon God? That was the son of chaos, the overlord before chaos itself. They, beings of chaos, were nothing more than food for the Chaos Demon God.

This powerful Chaos God vanished completely after a mysterious battle, never to be seen again, becoming a legend.

They thought they had all perished, but unexpectedly, after countless years, a Chaos God has reappeared. And upon appearing, he intends to sacrifice them, the chaotic beings, in blood.

The Chaos God was indeed as tyrannical and cruel as the legends said, and he didn't take the Chaos beings seriously at all.

"How did you know that?" an ancestral god asked curiously.

"Look for yourself, are the chaotic creatures that once roamed the vicinity, and the worlds adjacent to us, still there? They have all been taken away by a mysterious force."

"Our realm has survived not because of good luck, but because our realm is strong enough to remain unaffected for the time being. But I estimate that if we don't do something soon, our realm won't last much longer and will also suffer the same fate of blood sacrifice."

Brahma explained that he sought the Dao in a dream, traveling through the chaotic worlds, and only then did he unexpectedly discover this matter. He then rushed back to inform everyone of the news so that they could consider countermeasures.

"To flee or to fight?"

The true god reacted quickly, asking directly: With a formidable enemy at hand, there are only two choices: fight or flee.

"escape!"

"We cannot fight. Those two Chaos Demons are extremely powerful, beyond our ability to contend with. Even if we attack together, we are no match for them. We can only flee."

Brahma said with certainty, having caught a glimpse of the Demon Ancestor and Yang Mei in a fleeting glance. In that single glance, he knew they were invincible enemies; even with their combined strength, they were no match for them. (End of Chapter)
