Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

"Currently, there are only two Chaos Demon Gods left, with Yang Mei being the most powerful. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate him, it would not be a bad thing, as it would remove a major threat to our prehistoric world."

As Ao Bing's voice fell, not only were Yang Mei filled with doubt and uncertainty, but even the people of the prehistoric world couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild.

To be honest, while the other world was important to them, it paled in comparison to killing Yang Mei. If they could kill Yang Mei, sacrificing the other world wouldn't be out of the question.

Ultimately, it's just a high-level myriad worlds, and with the current size of the Primordial World, it can easily afford to lose it.

However, the opportunity to kill Yang Mei is not so easy to come by; if you miss this chance, there may not be another one.

Of course, that's the idea, but there's a problem: even if the otherworld is sacrificed, it might not be enough to kill Yang Mei; he'd most likely be severely injured. If that's the case, then sacrificing the otherworld wouldn't be worthwhile.

Why did Ao Bing threaten Yang Mei instead of directly sacrificing himself to another world and eliminating him in one fell swoop? The reason is that he wasn't confident he could kill Yang Mei, so he couldn't make up his mind.

Killing Yang Mei in one fell swoop would be a huge gain. But failing to do so would be a huge loss. Caught in this dilemma, Ao Bing couldn't make a decision and could only leave the choice to Yang Mei.

If he's prepared to fight the gods to the death, then the gods will fight him to the bitter end. Conversely, if he doesn't want to turn against the gods, then the gods can accept that.

An additional other world would undoubtedly greatly shorten the time required for the development of the primordial world, and might even bring forward the Age of Creation.

This is the most crucial point. If the prehistoric world were to enter the Age of Creation ahead of schedule and give birth to a large number of powerful beings at the Creation Realm, then even if all the Chaos Gods were to be resurrected, the prehistoric world would have nothing to fear.

Ultimately, the Chaos Demon God was only at the Creation Realm. The reason the primordial gods feared the Chaos Demon God was simply because their strength was inferior to theirs. If they could be at the same level as him, then naturally there would be no need to fear him.

"If I let this world leave, can you guarantee that you won't interfere with my next plan?"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Mei asked. He was confident that even if the gods of the primordial world sacrificed themselves to another world, they would not be able to kill him, but they could definitely seriously injure him.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't care about being seriously injured. But not now. With his keen eyesight, how could he not see through the Demon Ancestor's thoughts? He was clearly suspicious of him and had the intention to kill him.

However, none of this matters. Since Yang Mei dared to keep the Demon Ancestor alive, he was naturally confident in dealing with him. No matter what methods he used, he would find it difficult to stir up any trouble.

However, there's a prerequisite: he can't be injured. If Yang Mei is severely wounded, the Demon Ancestor will still be no match for him. And don't forget, this is a crucial moment for resurrecting the other Chaos Demon Gods.

Even if Yang Mei is seriously injured, it is true that the Demon Ancestor is no match for him. But if other Chaos Demon Gods are added, then it will be troublesome, and Yang Mei will undoubtedly be defeated.

It was with this in mind that Yang Mei decided to back down; he couldn't afford to turn against the gods of the primordial world at this time. He had been planning for so long, and there were only signs of success now; he couldn't afford any unforeseen events.

"What a joke! Even if we dare to say we won't cause any damage, would you really believe us?"

"There are no guarantees in this kind of thing. It all comes down to each person's ability and who has the better skills."

Upon hearing this, Ao Bing couldn't help but laugh out loud. The Chaos Demon God and the Primordial World were irreconcilable enemies, destined to be unable to coexist. Therefore, when the two sides clashed, they often resorted to any means necessary.

In this situation, all guarantees and credibility are meaningless; only eliminating the other party is real. Therefore, betraying those who have helped them and turning against them without hesitation are common occurrences.

That kind of guarantee is pure bullshit; anyone who takes it seriously is a complete idiot.

"That's true, then let's each use our own methods."

Yang Mei nodded, then suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Honghuang's sudden intervention has changed his plans, and he has to speed things up. He can't delay any longer, or anyone knows what will happen.

"Pity!"

Seeing Yang Mei leave, all the gods of the primordial world sighed. This was the closest they could get to killing Yang Mei, and it was gone just like that; how could they not feel sorry for him?

And seeing their expressions, the gods of the other world dared not utter a word of anger. What a pity? A pity they couldn't sacrifice them to kill the Chaos God?

Damn it, the Chaos God is no good, and the primordial gods, whom I thought were my saviors, are no better; they even have the intention to sacrifice them.

The Chaos God sacrificed them in order to resurrect other Chaos Gods. The primordial gods sacrificed them to eliminate the Chaos Gods.

Neither side is any good; their choice to seek refuge with the Primordial Wilderness is truly like escaping the wolf's mouth only to fall into the tiger's den.

At this point, no one believed that the Primordial World would treat them kindly. The gods of the other world weren't idiots; given the Primordial World's attitude, it would be a miracle if they treated them well.

Even if it existed before, it's gone now. After this incident, the two sides are completely estranged and can no longer trust each other.

In this situation, it's pointless to treat them kindly; it's easier to just take advantage of them and leave them alone.

Yes, the ancient gods all harbored the intention of sacrificing them. Even if they didn't succeed in the end, did the gods of the other world really have no resentment about it?
There definitely is a barrier, and that's where the gap lies between them. With this barrier in place, even if the gods of the primordial world treat them kindly, it will be difficult to gain their acceptance and truly become one family.

Since they are destined never to be family, the best course of action to prevent the otherworldly gods from becoming a threat in the future is self-evident. The only sensible course of action is to devour them completely and then make them disappear without a trace.

The gods of the other world weren't fools; they naturally understood this. But even if they understood, what could they do? They were utterly powerless to resist.

Could they possibly refuse to go to the Primordial World? Believe it or not, if they dared to refuse right now, the gods of the Primordial World could wipe them out without even the Chaos God making a move. That way, it would save them the trouble of transporting them to the Primordial World.

I am at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board. What can I do? Naturally, I can only obediently listen and then look for another opportunity.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand. What I just said was merely a temporary measure to intimidate Yang Mei and scare him away. It was by no means our true intention."

"As everyone knows, our Honghuang has always been hospitable and treats people with sincerity. As the saying goes, 'Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?' We are overjoyed that you have joined Honghuang, so how could we possibly have any bad intentions towards you?"

"Therefore, fellow Daoists, please put your minds at ease and do not overthink it."

After Yang Mei left, Ao Bing and the other powerful figures from the East quickly stepped forward to reassure the gods of the other world. They knew that their earlier words had gone too far and must have hurt the feelings of the gods.

Although they didn't really care, considering that they would need their cooperation in transporting the other world, the group reluctantly tried to appease them.

Regardless, the proper attitude should still be shown. As for whether the gods of the other world believe it or not, that's another matter entirely.

Ultimately, they dared not disbelieve. Ao Bing and the others couldn't believe that the gods of the other world would be so foolish as to be completely oblivious to the situation, even though they had been given a way out.

If you were really that stupid, you wouldn't have cultivated to this level.

As expected, after Ao Bing and the others offered words of reassurance, the gods from the other world expressed their understanding, saying that it was a minor matter and they would not misunderstand because of it.

Seeing this, Zhunti Jieyin, though not outwardly criticizing him, was inwardly extremely disdainful. "Hospitality? Sincere treatment? 'Isn't it delightful to have friends coming from afar?' How could you, Renlong, utter such nonsense? Truly shameless!"

Everyone knows that you powerful figures from the East are extremely xenophobic. You can't even tolerate those from the West who share the same primordial lineage, let alone outsiders.

They even joined the Primordial World. I'm afraid that after they moved to the vicinity of the Primordial World, they wouldn't even be able to enter it. They would be under close surveillance until they were completely devoured.

Regarding xenophobia, the two Western Sages never doubted the attitude of the Eastern powerhouses, for they had suffered greatly from it. They couldn't even tolerate their own people in the primordial world, let alone outsiders.

If the gods from other worlds were guided to the Primordial World from the West, they might have one or two places to stay. But if the powerful figures from the East were to guide them, even if they could enter the Primordial World, it would be a loss for the two Western Saints.

The other world is already destroyed. Compared to falling into the hands of the Chaos God, it's undoubtedly a matter of living a little longer and preserving civilization. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter; we'll all become sacrifices anyway.

"Attaining enlightenment in a dream, when the false is taken for the true, the false becomes true; when the true is taken for the false, the true becomes false. This is the supreme method of transforming the illusory into the real and refining the false into the true."

"The Sage of Guidance is truly well hidden. Everyone thought he cultivated the Path of Nirvana, but no one expected that he actually cultivated the Path of Truth and Falsehood."

With that, the matter of the other world came to an end. Then, the gods couldn't help but look at Jieyin, all of them showing strange expressions.

This time, the Sage of Guidance had no choice but to reveal his greatest trump card: his main cultivation was not the Path of Nirvana, but the Path of True and False, which others had always regarded as a secondary cultivation.

That's impressive. Everyone believes that he mainly cultivates the Dao of Nirvana, so when formulating a plan to deal with him, they naturally focus on that aspect.

But it turned out that he was actually cultivating the Dao of Truth and Falsehood, which meant that everyone's previous speculations about him could all be overturned and reconsidered.

Everything was wrong, so what else could we do but start over? It's fortunate we didn't attack him, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss.

“Fellow Daoist Jieyin’s level is far above mine,” said Daoist Taixu at this moment.

He was one of the few Xuanmen giants who could be compared with the Queen Mother of the West and others. His main cultivation was the Dao of illusion and reality. He was thought to be the number one person in the primordial world in this regard, but it turned out that the Sage of Guidance was above him.

This left him speechless.

"Hey……"

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, the Sage of Guidance did not offer any explanation, but simply sighed, his face showing even greater sorrow.

They hid for so long, intending to pull off a big move at the crucial moment, but before they could even use anything, they were exposed on their own.

How could he accept this? The loss was too great.

“Fellow Daoist Jieyin, please don’t be like this. Our Primordial World never mistreats those who have made contributions. Since you have made contributions to communication, you will naturally receive the benefits from the West.”

Although somewhat reluctant, Ao Bing still stepped forward and spoke. In the primordial world, mistakes may not be punished, but merits will certainly be rewarded. This is the foundation of the primordial world, and no one can violate it.

If it weren't for the timely message from the Sage of Guidance, the Primordial World would have almost missed a great opportunity. This is a merit, and even if Ao Bing and other powerful figures from the East dislike the West, they still have to reward him for his contributions.

Furthermore, the benefits offered must be genuine and tangible, without any discounts or hidden risks.

This is to set an example and encourage more people to perform meritorious service. If the rewards are given with ulterior motives, who will be willing to perform meritorious service in the future?

If the Sage of Guidance were to conceal this matter, the loss to the prehistoric world would be immense.

Therefore, such selfless acts as guiding others must be rewarded, so as to set an example and inspire others to follow suit.

Even the West, which has a grudge against the East, can be rewarded after performing meritorious service, let alone others.

"good!"

Upon hearing this, the Sage's sorrowful expression lessened considerably. He knew that the time for reaping the rewards was fast approaching. Given the merit he had rendered this time, the benefits he would undoubtedly receive were substantial.

This is a high-level myriad worlds; even if it doesn't bring him a supreme treasure of creation, it could at least bring him a half-step supreme treasure of creation.

This refers to the value of the reward, but what exactly it is cannot be determined in just a few words.

And now is not the time to talk about these things. We need to wait until the other world is arranged, and then we can gather together and slowly discuss and come up with a result.

…………

Without Yang Mei's intervention, the gods of the other world dared not resist, and the rest became much simpler.

The gods exerted their divine power here, while their physical bodies exerted their power in the primordial world, directly breaking through the chaos and forming a huge passage leading directly to the primordial world.

Moreover, this passage is right under the noses of Yang Mei and the Demon Ancestor, so there's no worry that they might come by on their way.

What's there to worry about? Given the current state of the Primordial World, the gods would be more than happy for them to come along. Once they enter the Primordial World, even a powerhouse at the half-step Eternal Realm will have to behave themselves and won't be able to cause any trouble.

As for investigating other realms, there's no need to. The gods' purpose in conducting these investigations is entirely secondary; their primary goal is to ascertain the strength of these realms and whether they pose a threat to the primordial world.

If possible, then find a way to weaken them. If not, then settle them near the primordial wilderness and slowly devour them.

It is clear that the strength of the other world is not enough to threaten the prehistoric world at present, so Ao Bing and the others decided to settle them near the prehistoric world as originally planned.

Furthermore, whether the other world is related to the Chaos God is, to be honest, something the gods haven't figured out yet. However, Ao Bing did make a discovery: he observed that true god and found him strangely familiar.

That's strange. He was certain he had never seen this person before, so where did this inexplicable sense of familiarity come from?

"Is it a Chaos Demon God, or an old friend from the Primordial Era?"

Ao Bing pondered for a moment, then decided that after settling things in the other world, he would observe this person carefully to see who he really was.

"Is this the prehistoric world?"

As soon as they approached the primordial world, the gods from the other world were stunned by the sheer magnificence of it all.

The Purple Star and the Buzhou Cauldron, united as one, transformed into a colossal pillar of heaven, like the central axis of the primordial world, towering amidst the vast chaos, its end nowhere in sight. (End of Chapter)
