Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 979 Fate compels me to join!
Upon hearing this, a hint of reminiscence and confusion flashed across his face. He pondered for a moment, as if trying to search for fragments of extremely distant and even blurry memories.

"This matter... is extremely mysterious, and even we ourselves are not entirely clear about it!" Yin Yuan said slowly, his tone becoming distant, "Before my birth, my consciousness was in a very blurry state, chaotic and ignorant, unable to think, and could only vaguely perceive some grand scenes!"

"We all sensed that the great 'ancestral god' seemed to bear far too much... He was as if he were the sum of all concepts, the cause of all things, and the end of all effects. In the end, he seemed unable to bear that endless 'existence' any longer, and so..."

Yinyuan paused here, a look of indescribable shock on his face, a shock that remained even after countless years.

“And then… he exploded!” Yin Yuan said in an almost dreamlike tone.

"It exploded?" The God of Fate's expression turned extremely strange as he repeated the word.

"Indeed, it exploded!" Yin Yuan nodded affirmatively and continued his description, "It was an explosion that defies description, an indefinable surge of energy, laws, and concepts... sweeping across the endless void. And we, from the fragments scattered by that explosion, were gradually born. We are a part of that ancestral god's body, bearing some of his qualities and powers, eventually gaining sentience and merging with chaos to create the Nine Heavens and Nine Abysses as you know them today!"

At this point, a long-held sense of bewilderment and astonishment flashed in Yin Yuan's eyes: "From the day we were born, there has been conflict among us, mutual conquest, and even attempts to devour each other in order to become stronger. However, strangely, no matter how we fight, even in the most brutal battles, even when seventeen of us joined forces to besiege one and completely annihilate him... in the end, that annihilated being would still reassemble and resurrect in his corresponding celestial realm or demonic abyss. It's as if... that celestial realm and demonic abyss are our true origin, our indelible anchor!"

"As for how to completely destroy a celestial realm or a demonic abyss!" Yin Yuan shook his head, a helpless look on his face, "To this day, countless epochs have been spent, and countless methods have been tried, but no answer has been found. Not only the celestial realm and the demonic abyss, but even the seemingly most fragile mortal realm cannot be truly destroyed; it always repairs and regenerates on its own!"

Upon hearing this, the three Chaos Gods of Destiny, Fate, and Cause and Effect were simultaneously filled with turbulent waves, and an indescribable sense of eeriness enveloped them.

It should be understood that even in the primordial chaotic world they originated from, created by the great god Pangu, both the primordial continent and the stars in the heavens could theoretically be destroyed.

Even though the Great God Pangu himself had surpassed the realm of the Great Dao, the world he created was still in danger of ending.

But this chaotic world, its core components (the Heavenly Realm, the Demon Abyss, and the Human Realm) seem to possess a certain characteristic of "absolute immortality".
This is totally unreasonable!
Even using the most basic logic, the three demon gods could instantly realize that there must be a huge problem behind this.

"Even the power of a true god or a true demon cannot destroy it...!" The voice of the Fate Demon God was filled with unprecedented solemnity. "That means that what maintains this 'immortality' must be a power of an even higher level!"

"And the existence that transcends true gods and true demons!" the Destiny Demon God interjected, his voice low, "is only that ancestral god in your creation myths, the one who has already 'exploded'!"

The three demons looked at each other, and each saw deep horror and doubt in the other's eyes.

Through this period of covert investigation and reconnaissance, they have gained a general understanding of the strength of the gods and demons in these nine celestial realms and nine demonic abysses.

Among these native gods and demons, the strongest probably possesses the cultivation of the fifth level of the Dao Integration Realm, while the weakest is at least at the third level.

The person before him is at the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm, which is considered average.

Such power, though formidable, is not incomprehensible.

What truly troubled them was the lingering influence from the "Ancestral God," which seemed to still be functioning! A creator who had long since "exploded" and given birth to all things, could still maintain the "immortality" of the world's basic units with his residual power?
what does this mean?
This means that the ancestral god may not have truly perished, and its will may still exist in some form, continuing to influence this world!

Or perhaps, this entire world is simply a scheme he has laid out in a way that is too vast to be imagined?

Immediately, the three Chaos Gods realized that things had become extremely difficult.

Perhaps, those exerting influence in the shadows of this chaotic world are not only these "invaders" from the primordial era, but may even include the "ancestral god" from the beginning of creation!
Their supposedly secretive actions may have been exposed to some higher gaze from the very beginning.
"So that's how it is...!" The God of Fate slowly exhaled a breath of chaotic energy, seemingly in a sigh, yet also in a state of vigilance.

The two sides then engaged in a more in-depth and detailed question-and-answer session.

By chance, the three demon gods' curiosity about the nature of the world was satisfied, and the three demon gods also cautiously revealed some basic information about the concept of the "chaotic world" and their origin from the "outside world"... Of course, the core secrets were not revealed.

Upon hearing this, Yin Yuan's eyes flickered repeatedly, his face filled with a mixture of sudden realization and extreme excitement: "So that's how it is! So the source of all this is called the 'Chaotic World'! And you all come from another, different Chaotic World!"

He pressed on almost impatiently, his tone strangely fervent: "So, you came to our world to plunder resources and seek further opportunities?"

Faced with this blunt question, the three Chaos Gods remained silent for a moment, then nodded frankly.

At this level, hypocritical pretense is of little significance.

Their purpose in crossing boundaries is to seek opportunities and resources on the path to transcendence and strengthen themselves.

As for spreading the cultivation techniques, enlightening the people, and triggering the transformation of cultivation in this world, these were merely means and processes to achieve the ultimate goal.

"So that's how it is... I see...!" Yin Yuan exclaimed again, his excitement growing even stronger.

His eyes gleamed, as if he had made up his mind, and he suddenly spoke:

"Since that's the case, and we've already exchanged some of our trump cards, we have a foundation for cooperation. So... may I join you?"

"You? Join us?"

Upon hearing this, even the three Chaos Demon Gods, with their vast knowledge and profound cultivation, were all taken aback and completely stunned.
