Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

As long as the World Tree grows fast enough, the initial investment can be recouped quickly, and then it will be profitable indefinitely.

The World Tree is already extraordinary, and if it were to be nourished by the essence of Pangu's blood, it would undoubtedly become even more extraordinary. It is foreseeable that this tree will surely step into the realm of half-step eternity.

That is why Heaven is so attached to it, and even though it knows that nurturing it will require a lot of resources, it is still unwilling to give it up.

The reason is simple: the benefits that the World Tree brought to the prehistoric world after it grew up were immense.

Both are treasures at the half-step eternal level, but the effect of spiritual roots is much greater than that of magic treasures, surpassing them in every aspect.

The spiritual root can not only release vital energy, but also blossom and bear fruit. In addition, its branches and leaves are also treasures.

It can be said that having a top-tier spiritual root is equivalent to possessing an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Who could refuse such benefits?

“Cultivating the World Tree? There’s no rush, I have a better idea.”

After accepting the World Tree seed, Ao Bing seemed to be deep in thought. He felt that both the Heart of Pangu and the Buzhou Cauldron had the potential to go even further.

And once they've made further progress, using the essence of Pangu derived from them to irrigate the World Tree seeds will surely yield even better results.

As for how to take their relationship to the next level, Ao Bing already had a plan. Originally, he had no idea, but the spoils he obtained from Yang Mei showed him what to do.

Both the Buzhou Cauldron and the Heart of Pangu are supreme treasures at the half-step into eternity level. If they were to advance further, they should transform into the Cauldron of the Great Dao and the Heart of the Great Dao.

How can this be achieved? The answer is obvious: the Great Dao is divided into two halves, one half being the primordial wilderness and the other half being chaos.

The Buzhou Cauldron and the Heart of Pangu were originally formed from the Daoist principles of the Primordial Era. In other words, as long as they are integrated with the Daoist principles of Chaos, they can be transformed into supreme treasures of the Great Dao.

As for the Chaos Dao Essence, Ao Bing didn't lack it. He had to thank Yang Mei for this; if Yang Mei hadn't gathered the Chaos Dao Essence in order to refine the Great Dao Divine Diagram, where would Ao Bing have found such a treasure?

That's right, the Chaos Divine Map that Ao Bing stole from Yang Mei was the key to the transformation of the Buzhou Cauldron and the Heart of Pangu.

Simply devour the Chaos Divine Diagram to make up for their defects, perfect them, and begin their transformation into a supreme treasure of the Great Dao.

Yes, it's merely a transformation; it cannot instantly transform into a supreme treasure of the Great Dao. Although the Chaos Divine Diagram is extraordinary, it lacks the Great Dao imprint of the Chaos Demon God. Therefore, it can only strengthen the Buzhou Cauldron and the Heart of Pangu, but it cannot elevate them to a higher level.

To ascend, one must devour all the Chaos Gods. Ao Bing cannot do this yet; it requires the unification of the Three Realms and the completion of the Primordial World.

"The Chaos Divine Diagram!"

With a thought, Ao Bing took out the Chaos Divine Diagram and sent it into the Heart of Pangu. As the heart beat, it was gradually refined by the heart.

This process is slow, but change has already begun.

Mysterious Dao patterns emerged from the surface of Pangu's Heart, making it even more wondrous. The eternal Dao light that was originally just a wisp now shone even brighter, like the rising sun, gradually becoming more dazzling.

"Once the Heart of Pangu has completed its transformation, it will be called the Heart of the Great Dao. At that time, the divine blood it nurtures will be the Blood of the Great Dao, and its effects will be even better."

Seeing this, Ao Bing nodded in satisfaction. The transformation of Pangu's Heart into the Heart of the Great Dao would, barring any unforeseen circumstances, benefit the entire prehistoric world.

First, the Buzhou Cauldron, constantly bathed in the heart of Pangu, will slowly transform into the Cauldron of the Great Dao. Then, the primordial energy gushing forth from both will gradually transform into the primordial energy of the Great Dao.

The primordial world and all living beings received nourishment from the primordial energy of the Great Dao, and their foundations became extraordinary, their potential growing ever stronger. From then on, barring unforeseen circumstances, the beings of the primordial world would basically be able to achieve immortality.

"When the heart of Pangu transforms into the heart of the Great Dao, that will be the time when the seeds of the World Tree will take root and sprout anew. This matter cannot be rushed, and before that, the matter of the other world needs to be resolved."

With a thought, Ao Bing stood up, called on the saints to leave the prehistoric world together, and headed to another world not far away.

The opinions of the gods are not important regarding how to settle things in the other world; it all depends on the ideas of Ao Bing and the other saints.

Ultimately, they are the ones who truly govern the primordial world. If they are willing to listen to the gods' opinions, that's a sign of respect; if they are unwilling, there's nothing the gods can do.

They could resist one saint, but even if Ao Bing and all the saints joined forces to oppose him, it would be useless; they simply couldn't defeat him.

……

"Regarding other worlds, I have only one opinion: the primordial world cannot tolerate aliens."

"Therefore, there is only one choice left for beings from other worlds: to live a carefree life and then merge their true spirit into the primordial world."

On his journey to the other world, Ao Bing shared his thoughts with the sages. It was impossible for beings from another world to integrate into the primordial world.

The current status of the Primordial World is too high, even exceeding that of the Otherworld by half a dimension.

This means that if beings from other worlds want to integrate into the primordial world, the primordial world must spend a large amount of its own resources to nurture them again, so that they can adapt to the primordial environment.

Ao Bing absolutely could not accept this result. Although the primordial energy of the world was currently abundant, to be honest, it was still not enough.

Didn't you see that the Heavenly Dao couldn't even provide the source material needed to cultivate the World Tree seed? Under such circumstances, how could it possibly sacrifice a large amount of its own source material to nurture otherworldly beings?
Therefore, beings from other worlds have absolutely no chance of integrating into the primordial world. Furthermore, even the other worlds themselves are not qualified to integrate into the primordial world.

To put it bluntly, Ao Bing's idea was to drain the other world dry, leaving only its origin and nothing else. This was not what the two Western Saints had previously envisioned—to integrate them into the primordial world and create a world similar to the Four Realms.

"This method is indeed most beneficial to my prehistoric world, but it is too drastic. The gods of other worlds may not agree to it."

After hearing Ao Bing's idea, the two Western Saints had no objections, but they felt that the gods of the other world would definitely not agree to it.

Ao Bing's idea was summarized in just a few words, but the execution process was quite cruel. First, he devoured the source of the other world on a massive scale.

After a large amount of the original source is lost, the other world will slowly decline, that is, enter the Dharma-ending Age, the Age of No Law, until it is completely destroyed.

In this process, apart from the Primordial Golden Immortals who can protect themselves, all other living beings will gradually perish as the world weakens.

The gods of the other world could actually accept this, provided they were allowed to reincarnate into the primordial world after death.

If one can be reincarnated into the primordial world after death, then death is death, consider it as the entrance fee.

The problem is that Ao Bing clearly stated that they were not allowed to enter the prehistoric world after death, but rather their true spirits should be integrated into the prehistoric world.

What does this mean? The True Spirit is the foundation of all living beings and is a manifestation of the origin of heaven and earth. After the True Spirit merges with the primordial world, it becomes a part of the primordial world, used to strengthen the origin of the primordial world.

The person represented by the True Spirit has undoubtedly perished completely, so how could the gods of the other world agree to this?
What difference is there between agreeing to Ao Bing's request and being sacrificed by the Chaos Demon God?

That's why the two Western Saints said that Ao Bing's proposal was too drastic, leaving no hope for the gods of the other world, and that their disagreement was inevitable. "They're just a bunch of Grand Luo Immortals; our will is not something they can refuse."

Ao Bing spoke with a firm tone, as if he intended to kill the gods of the other world if they dared not cooperate.

No, according to Ao Bing's intentions, he was meant to kill them. In that case, there's nothing more to say; a fight is inevitable.

The others opened their mouths, wanting to say something. Clearly, they also felt Ao Bing's idea was a bit too extreme; why go to such lengths? Couldn't they at least leave them a chance to survive?

Leaving a way out in everything you do, and never going to extremes, is an ancient tradition.

Seeing this, Ao Bing was too lazy to waste words and said directly, "The true god who is the head of the gods of that other world should be the incarnation of Di Jun. Just for this reason, this world cannot be allowed to remain and should be swallowed up by the prehistoric world."

Upon hearing this, all the sages were greatly shocked and instinctively asked, "Is this true? Is the true god an incarnation of Emperor Jun?"

The news was so sudden that the saints were completely unprepared and even found it hard to accept. Wasn't Di Jun sealed away by Houtu Niangniang? How did he suddenly end up in another world far from the primordial world, and be reborn there in a different body?

"I have already confirmed this with the Dao Ancestor, and it is absolutely impossible to fake."

Seeing that the saints found it hard to accept, Ao Bing brought up the Dao Ancestor. With the Dao Ancestor as their witness, they had no choice but to believe.

"That other world really cannot be kept."

Coming to his senses, Yuanshi Tianzun said in a low voice, "It's understandable that Dijun was reborn through another body."

However, after his rebirth, instead of contacting the prehistoric world, he secretly developed his power, and the intention behind this is worth pondering.

What does he want to do?
They definitely want to make a comeback, quietly accumulate strength with the other world, and then find a suitable opportunity to counterattack the prehistoric world.

This crossed the line for all the saints; there was no place for Di Jun in the prehistoric world.

If he had simply lived a quiet life as a hermit after his resurrection, that would have been fine. But he was already plotting a comeback and had begun taking action; how could the saints tolerate him?

The pie of the primordial world is only so big, and it's basically already been divided up. If Di Jun were to return, he would have no choice but to take a cut from the saints if he wanted to gain enough benefits.

No one wants to be cut in half, so the fate of Di Jun was predictable. Since he was unwilling to live a peaceful life as a hermit, everyone had no choice but to send him on his way and cut off all his hopes.

Let alone joining forces with Di Jun to deal with Ao Bing. If they had to choose between Di Jun and Ao Bing, they would definitely choose Ao Bing, not Di Jun.

The gods had long seen through Di Jun; he was only meant to share hardship, not prosperity.

After the Heavenly Court was established, in order to seize power, he even ostracized Xi Huang and Kunpeng, who had established the Heavenly Court with him. This shows his character.

The reason why Kunpeng betrayed Dijun during the Lich War is because of this.

The gods did not mock Kunpeng because they knew that Dijun's actions were dishonest. Kunpeng's betrayal of him could only be seen as retribution, and the others could not say that he was wrong.

In contrast, Ao Bing was much better at interpersonal relationships. He didn't keep things to himself and was happy to share any benefits with others.

Simply put, if you cooperate with Dijun and achieve results, he might just kick you aside.

You can cooperate with Ao Bing. You might not gain a great advantage in the end, but you certainly won't suffer a loss.

That's enough. This alone is enough to make all the saints prefer to cooperate with him rather than with Di Jun.

"Di Jun must be extremely hostile to us. It's hard to say what the otherworldly beings are thinking under his influence."

At this moment, Houtu Niangniang also spoke. Although she is compassionate, she is selective in her compassion; she is not compassionate to all living beings.

The mercy of the Goddess Houtu is limited to beings from the primordial world, while beings from other realms are not primordial beings. Therefore, they are not entitled to the mercy of the Goddess Houtu, let alone the fact that they are related to Emperor Jun.

"In the other world, there seems to be a backup plan from the Chaos Demon God. I don't know exactly what it is or how many people are involved, but since it is related to the Chaos Demon God, it is indeed not advisable to integrate it into the Primordial World."

Following Houtu Niangniang, the Taiqing Sage also spoke. He dared to say this because he had naturally discovered something; he couldn't possibly be talking nonsense.

"Is it related to the Chaos God?"

"No matter how depraved Di Jun is, he wouldn't go so far as to cooperate with the Chaos Demon God. Could it be that he has fallen into the Chaos Demon God's trap? Or perhaps, he intends to turn the tables on the Chaos Demon God?"

The two Western Saints seemed to understand something, and at the same time, everyone thought of a certain possibility.

This other world was probably a contingency plan left behind by one or more Chaos Gods. Then, for some unknown reason, it was discovered by Di Jun.

However, Di Jun did not make a fuss. Instead, he planned to seize this realm and use the power of the Chaos Demon God for his own purposes, so that he could reach a higher realm.

It's not surprising that Di Jun had this idea, because he was an ambitious person with extraordinary audacity.

Otherwise, how could he have conceived the idea of ​​establishing a Heavenly Court to manage the primordial world for the Heavenly Dao?

"Di Jun's idea is good, but none of us can guarantee whether he will succeed."

"Furthermore, we cannot gamble that Di Jun will definitely succeed. Therefore, we cannot leave the other world; we must refine it."

The group exchanged glances and made up their minds.

Di Jun's plan may or may not succeed, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that it has been discovered by everyone, which means it definitely won't succeed.

If Di Jun's plan had succeeded, his resurrection would have undoubtedly made him a threat to everyone. Therefore, thwarting his plan was a way of eliminating a major threat ahead of time.

If Di Jun's plan fails, the Chaos Demon God can be resurrected in his identity and wreak havoc on the prehistoric world. In this case, ruining his plan in advance can be seen as eliminating a potential threat to the prehistoric world.

Thinking about it this way, it's necessary to disrupt Dijun's plan; there's no harm in doing so either way.

"Do it!"

As they spoke, the group arrived near the otherworld. Then, without any hesitation, the gods attacked the otherworldly gods.

"you……"

Faced with the sudden attack from the primordial gods, the otherworldly gods were caught completely off guard and were immediately severely injured.

Then, without asking why, they abandoned their foundation and fled into the depths of chaos. There was no need to ask why; they had already anticipated this, but they hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. (End of Chapter)
