Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

The Demon Ancestor was the scapegoat Yang Mei found. He deliberately lured the Demon Ancestor into a trap, making him mistakenly believe that he was going to devour the other Chaos Demon Gods to achieve enlightenment.

Given the Demon Ancestor's nature, he certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait to be killed; instead, he would choose to strike first.

He killed the other Chaos Gods before him to increase his strength and gain the ability to fight him.

Yang Mei thought this way, and he did it this way. And then, as expected, things unfolded exactly as he predicted; the Demon Ancestor did just as he had envisioned.

Thus, the scene before us unfolded. The Demon Ancestor drew his sword and charged towards the remaining Chaos Demon Gods.

"go!"

Realizing he had fallen into a trap, the Demon Ancestor dared not linger and immediately tried to escape. Regardless of Yang Mei's plans, as long as he could escape, the future would surely belong to him.

"It's too late to leave now."

Upon seeing this, Yang Mei smiled gently.

The next moment, the Chaos Divine Diagram trembled, radiating endless divine light, which enveloped the Demon Ancestor who was preparing to escape.

Amidst the divine light, the Demon Ancestor desperately swirled his sword, unleashing dazzling sword light that seemed to possess the power to shatter chaos. However, it was useless; no matter how terrifying the sword light was, it could not sever the divine light enveloping him.

"It's useless. Your magic weapon is not bad, but how can it compare to the Great Dao Divine Diagram that I created by sacrificing the flesh and blood of three thousand Chaos Demons?"

"This is the embryo of an eternal treasure, far superior to your four swords."

Seeing that the Demon Ancestor was still struggling, Yang Mei continued to laugh. If the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods were fully resurrected, and the Demon Ancestor were to slay them again, it would inevitably cause his four Chaos Swords to undergo an unimaginable transformation, advancing to the level of a half-step Eternal Treasure.

However, in order to seize the initiative, before the three thousand Chaos Gods could be fully resurrected, while they were still in their embryonic stage, the Demon Ancestor couldn't wait to draw his sword and kill them.

As a result, the sword sacrifice was not as perfect as the Demon Ancestor had imagined.

The Four Chaos Swords were indeed strengthened, but they did not advance to the level of a half-step Eternal Treasure as desired. Instead, they became top-tier Chaos Treasures.

In contrast, Yang Mei's Chaos Divine Diagram first merged with the Chaos Will, and then devoured the three thousand Great Dao Divine Embryos, as well as the Chaos Demon God they conceived.

With so many Daoist principles combined, the Chaos Divine Diagram underwent a transformation, evolving from a Chaos Treasure into a more powerful Half-Step Eternal Treasure.

This is why Yang Mei called it the Great Dao Divine Diagram, rather than the Chaos Divine Diagram. It's already a half-step Eternal Treasure, so of course it's qualified to be named after the Great Dao.

The Chaos Four Swords failed to break through, but the Chaos Divine Diagram was able to advance successfully. This was not only because the Chaos Divine Diagram had the advantage of being integrated with the will of chaos.

The main reason is that the Chaos Divine Diagram is inherently stronger than the Four Chaos Swords.

The Four Swords of Chaos were reforged by the Demon Ancestor using fragments of a very small number of Chaos Treasures.

The Chaos Divine Diagram is different; it was crafted by Yang Mei using the Chaos Pearl, a supreme treasure of chaos, as its core, supplemented by fragments of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure, another supreme treasure of chaos.

This shows that the Chaos Divine Diagram is far superior to the Four Chaos Swords. It is the embryo of an eternal treasure, far beyond the reach of the Four Chaos Swords.

"I refuse to accept this! Yang Mei, you despicable scoundrel, how dare you scheme against me!"

Seeing Yang Mei approach, the Demon Ancestor struggled and shouted angrily. He was indeed unconvinced, because when the primordial world was first created, Yang Mei was far from being his match.

But now, he offered no resistance to Yang Mei. Had he known this would happen, he wouldn't have cooperated with Yang Mei back then; he would have risked everything to kill him. If he had, he wouldn't be in this predicament today.

"What do you have to be upset about?"

"In terms of killing, you were no match for me in the chaotic era. But in the primordial era, you seized the opportunity and eventually overtook me."

"But unfortunately, you didn't cherish the great opportunity you had. Instead of finding a place to recover your strength in peace, you jumped out to compete with the chosen ones of the primordial world for destiny."

"As a result, even with my help, you still couldn't escape defeat and were forced to self-destruct, sinking into oblivion for countless years before finally reviving."

"It was during the time you were in your slumber that I devoured the hours and retrieved many fragments of the Chaos Pearl. Incidentally, I also collected quite a few broken Chaos Treasures and Chaos Spiritual Treasures."

“I fused the collected fragments back into one, and that is how the Great Dao Divine Diagram before you came to be. It was born as an embryo of an eternal treasure.”

"Hearing this, what else do you have to complain about? Originally, these were all opportunities that belonged to you, but because you didn't cherish them, they've all become mine now."

Yang Mei shook his head, speaking with a sharp, cutting edge. What he said wasn't fabricated; it was the truth. That's precisely why it sounded so incisive.

Back then, the Demon Ancestor was powerful while Yang Mei was weak. If the Demon Ancestor had done this, Yang Mei would not have been able to compete with him at all, and might even have been devoured by him.

But what happened? The Demon Ancestor went mad for some reason. Instead of taking advantage of the readily available legacy of chaos, he insisted on competing with Hongjun for the destiny of the primordial world.

Then, as we saw, the Demon Ancestor squandered all his advantages, handing over the favorable situation to Yang Mei. And that's how Yang Mei came to be.

That's why Yang Mei said that he got to where he is today entirely because he benefited from the Demon Ancestor's influence.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Ancestor's face turned pale and then blue. He felt like he couldn't catch his breath and was in so much pain that he forgot to struggle for a moment.

He regretted it, but it was too late. Yang Mei's power was already firmly established, beyond his control, and he himself was already Yang Mei's possession.

There's a saying in the ancient times: "If you don't seize what Heaven gives you, you'll suffer the consequences." The best opportunity was given to you, but you didn't cherish it. It can only be said that you deserved this ending.

"Just set off on your journey in peace, and don't think too much about it."

With a final sigh, Yang Mei suddenly exerted his power. Instantly, the Great Dao Divine Diagram trembled, and countless Great Dao Divine Runes intertwined, transforming into phantoms of demon gods that surrounded the Demon Ancestor and devoured him bit by bit.

Amidst the Demon Ancestor's unwilling screams, his breath grew weaker and weaker until it finally vanished completely.

The Demon Ancestor, who had roamed the primordial world for many years, came to his end, becoming a sacrifice for Yang Mei to become stronger.

boom!
The Great Dao Divine Diagram roared, its aura growing ever stronger. This was because it was devouring not only the Demon Ancestor, but also the Four Chaos Swords, the top-tier Chaos Treasures painstakingly refined by the Demon Ancestor.

Even though the Great Dao Divine Diagram is already a half-step Eternal Treasure, top-tier Chaos Treasures are still a great tonic for it. After devouring them, it can gain a lot of benefits and become even more powerful.

"It's still not enough!"

Although the Great Dao Divine Diagram was already very powerful, it was still not enough for Yang Mei. This was because his opponent, the Primordial World, was far more powerful, possessing more than one half-step Eternal Treasure, not to mention others.

"To surpass the primordial world, the Great Dao Divine Diagram must be upgraded to a true eternal treasure, but how difficult that is."

With another sigh, Yang Mei summoned the Great Dao Divine Diagram, spreading it out within the chaos. Then, he took out the unused offerings from before and began to sacrifice them once more.

This sacrifice is not to resurrect the fallen Chaos Gods. Rather, it is to use their lingering aura as a guide to gather the fragments of their physical bodies and magical artifacts that still remain in the world.

After the fall of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, most of their shattered physical bodies and magical treasures were devoured by the primordial world.

However, a small number of them were left behind by accident. Many of them turned into innate spiritual treasures or innate ferocious beasts in the primordial world, and many others were secretly collected by Yang Mei.

Even so, some still slipped through the net and went undetected. These were the ones Yang Mei had collected at that moment.

By collecting the last remaining fragments of the Chaos Demon God's physical body and its magical artifacts, and integrating them into the Great Dao Divine Diagram, its power will surely be further enhanced.

Admittedly, even so, the Great Dao Divine Diagram is still far from being promoted to an Eternal Treasure, but progress is better than no progress at all.

Rumble!
An invisible Daoist aura permeated the air, instantly enveloping the entire chaos and even affecting the primordial world.

At this moment, everything related to the Chaos God was affected and became restless.

The reaction was relatively mild elsewhere, but the reaction in the Primordial World was much stronger. This is because most things related to the Chaos Gods resided within the Primordial World.

"what happened?"

Many Dao Lords in the primordial world were alarmed to find something amiss. Their magical treasures suddenly became restless and seemed to be abandoning them. Although they quickly suppressed the disturbance, this unexpected turn of events made them very uneasy.

After all, if the root cause of the problem isn't found and resolved, it can happen again if it happens once.

They could easily suppress them the first time, but it's hard to say what will happen the second or third time.

In addition, some Dao Lords were even more uneasy because their origins were trembling and showing signs of separation.

Losing control of a magical artifact is a problem, but its impact is actually not significant and won't affect cultivation. However, losing one's source of power has a much greater impact, not only damaging cultivation but also bringing unknown consequences.

"Do not panic, everyone. This is because the Chaos Gods have become desperate. They have used some method to provoke things related to the Chaos Gods, which has caused the turmoil in the primordial world."

Just as everyone was in a panic, the Sage of Guidance suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

He was quite experienced in this matter, having experienced it countless times since he began his cultivation, and he was already used to it.

Why are Jieyin and Zhunti not accepted by the world? It's not just because they originated from the West, but also because their lineage is related to the Chaos Gods. They were indeed primordial beings, but they did not belong to the Pangu pantheon.

They were formed from fragments of the Chaos Spiritual Root, fused with the primordial origin. Furthermore, during their formation, they absorbed a significant amount of the remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods' flesh and blood.

It is precisely because of this that they, who were born with top-tier innate spiritual roots, were able to take human form.

For a top-tier innate spiritual root to take human form, a great opportunity is required. The great opportunity for Jieyin and Zhunti was that a piece of the flesh and blood of a Chaos Demon God unexpectedly fell into their birthplace.

Only through this could the two break free from their own constraints and transform into innate Dao bodies.

It was because of this incident that the two of them became involved with the Chaos God and were often influenced by them.

In fact, there were quite a few powerful beings in the primordial world who shared similar fates. Most of them, however, succumbed to the temptations of the Chaos God and fell into becoming its puppets.

They have a special name in the primordial world: innate ferocious beasts.

That's right, this is the origin of the innate ferocious beasts. The innate deities of the primordial world, as long as they became involved with the Chaos Gods and failed to resist their temptations, would fall into the form of innate ferocious beasts.

Those who resist their temptations and remain completely unmoved, like Jieyin and Zhunti, are exemplary and their achievements will certainly not be low.

Because he frequently encountered such situations, Jieyin and Zhunti seemed quite familiar with them. Seeing the panic among the crowd, they stepped forward to explain.

“Similar situations have occurred before, but the commotion has never been this great. This shows that the Chaos God is truly desperate and is preparing for a desperate fight.”

"If we can truly retrieve some of the innate spiritual treasures related to them from the primordial world and devour them, it will not only help them revive, but also further enhance their strength."

The Sage Zhunti then added that although these were their guesses, they were not much different from the facts.

"Putting everything else aside, whatever the Chaos God wants to do, we can't go wrong by intervening to destroy it."

Ao Bing, Dao Zu, and the other saints exchanged glances and began to join forces to seal off the primordial world, isolating it from chaos.

The Chaos God's desire to gain benefits from the Primordial World is simply a pipe dream. With them around, it is always the Primordial World that benefits from the Chaos God, never the other way around.

With the cooperation of a sage and the Dao Ancestor, sealing off the primordial world was extremely simple; it could be accomplished with a mere thought. Therefore, the primordial world quickly returned to peace.

However, the impact of this incident was significant, making many people feel the potential for future problems.

The Chaos Gods summoning things related to them now is nothing, but if they suddenly do this at a crucial moment in a great battle, the consequences will be severe.

If the magical artifact or the source suddenly goes out of control, it could lead to a reversal of the situation or even the loss of life.

"When you have time, please refine your magic weapons again. It would be best to completely refine their essence, so as to prevent today's incident from happening again."

Ao Bing thought for a moment and then reminded him, "A situation like today's can be completely prevented by refining the magic weapon to the level of a natal spiritual treasure."

However, everyone possesses numerous magical treasures. Apart from the most important one, who would refine the other magical treasures to this extent? It would be a waste of time and energy.

But today's events served as a reminder that one should never try to take shortcuts in doing things, otherwise, who knows how many hidden dangers await them.

"Let's not talk about that. The Chaos God has been making frequent moves lately. Is he planning something big?"

They made a temporary note of this matter and then got down to business. As the Primordial World grew stronger, the Chaos Demon God, not to be outdone, also underwent changes.

"Whatever big moves they make, we'll just proceed according to the original plan."

Ao Bing stood up, his voice filled with excitement. Just moments ago, everyone had entrusted their Great Dao to the Primordial Chaos Supreme Heaven, and at the same time, thousands of Primordial Chaos Stars appeared in the starry sky. (End of Chapter)
