Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

While Xu Qing was focused on nurturing Hongjun and Luohou in the Mountain and River Map, Shichen and the others were not idle either, but instead turned their attention to the other three ferocious beasts.

After discovering that Xu Qing's aura had disappeared, Shi Chen and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. The disheveled group straightened their black robes and regained their aura as evil and terrifying chaotic demon gods.

Although Xu Qing's original divine power affected his mind, it did not affect his memory. In other words, many demons remembered their bizarre behavior just now.

Fortunately, everyone tacitly chose not to talk about it, but there were exceptions. For example, Space and Qiankun, who were affected by love, desire and fear, felt somewhat awkward and uncomfortable when they met again.

There's also cause and effect, and fate. After cause and effect said, "I'm going to eat you," everyone knew that they could never go back to their previous relationship.

It was clear that the two were wary of each other and a rift had formed between them.

During their search for Taotie, the seven people, one beast, and one block remained silent until they sensed Taotie's presence in the distance, at which point Shichen broke the silence.

"The Taotie has been found. Who's coming this time?"

Everyone hesitated. On the one hand, the process of possessing a ferocious beast was irreversible. After possessing it, it was equivalent to completely abandoning one's own demonic origins and the power of laws.

On the other hand, if they don't possess other bodies, everyone will be in a state of remnant souls with almost no fighting power. If something unexpected happens in the future, they will probably be the first to be abandoned.

According to Shi Chen's original idea, if Yang Mei had opened the Gate of All Wonders alive, the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts would have landed smoothly three years later. Once the ferocious beasts turned the primordial land into wasteland, the world inside the gate could have been transformed from illusion to reality.

When the time comes, under the illumination of the Great Dao, we will have the opportunity to restore our strength.

The world beyond the Gate of All Wonders is a stagnant pool of water, a stream of time captured by the hour. Although it has a physical form, it has no past or future.

To use an analogy, in a dimension where the river of time is materialized, the original primordial history is a long river, and three kalpas are like taking three bowls of water from the river of time. Although they are real water, they will eventually go bad if left for too long.

In other words, the world behind the Gate of All Wonders and Ultimate Meanings can only exist for a certain period of time, depending on the state of mind at the time of casting the spell. This period is approximately 100,000 years.

Aside from this drawback, the water of time, detached from the river of time, cannot be illuminated by the Great Dao. Although some projections remain, only the locals who belong to this bowl of water can comprehend them. As outsiders, Shichen and others cannot rely on the projections to restore their strength.

At this moment, the demon gods still held onto the hope of returning to the primordial world in the future and restoring their original foundation and strength, so naturally they were unwilling to do something as self-destructive as possessing a ferocious beast.

When he took the initiative to be the first to possess Qiongqi, Shichen, as the leader of the eight demon gods, must be said to have had considerable courage and responsibility.

After all, the laws of time and the Great Dao of Destiny are quite close, and his realm is already higher than that of destiny and cause and effect, so the probability of him advancing further is not low.

Seeing that none of the Chaos Gods spoke, Shi Chen became somewhat angry, roared with his tiger's mouth, and said in a deep voice.

"Fine, none of you are going. You all want to keep your broken demon god bodies. I'll go fight Xu Qing alone later. If we die, we'll die together."

"Didn't Yang Mei already say that the Primordial World is now in perfect order and the cycle of reincarnation is stable? Those who are currently possessing bodies will return to the Primordial World and be reincarnated. I will personally go to the Chaos to find innate spiritual embryos for you."

"Space, you will possess Taotie. Fate and Karma will go find Chaos Taotie later. The three of you are stronger and more powerful, so your control will be more stable after possession."

Since things had come to this point, the people who were named had no choice but to nod. Shi Chen was right; if they didn't seize the body now, they would all die at Xu Qing's hands later.

Moreover, they could also sense that Shi Chen's eyes were growing colder and colder as he spoke. If they refused again, none of them could guarantee that Shi Chen wouldn't just kill them.

There's no one here who can stand a chance against him!

Therefore, Yang Mei, dressed in black robes, could only step forward and look at Taotie, who was controlled by time. Although the black robes concealed his face and expression, everyone present could hear a sigh coming from him.

Without a sound, the black robe on Qiongqi's tiger head vanished, turning into a silvery-white light—the primordial spirit of space—which then flew into the Taotie's human face.

Like Qiongqi, Taotie has the body of a tiger, but it has a human face, a pig's snout, tiger claws, dog hair, a pig's tail, and no wings.

Practice makes perfect. The reason why Shi Chen and others were able to possess the ferocious beasts was because they relied on the magical artifact that the Living Spirit Demon God had obtained from him, called the Mixed Spirit Beast Taming Banner. This was the second time Shi Chen had used it, and he was much more skilled than when he possessed Qiongqi the first time.

Therefore, this time, the space only took a little over five months to successfully control the Taotie.

"Good. Continue searching for Chaos and Taotie. With all four ferocious beasts present, we must kill that junior."

"According to Yang Mei's intelligence, there are only two people in the Primordial World with the level of Hunyuan Wuji. Besides Xu Qing, the other one is crippled. He is not only seriously injured, but his physical body has also been petrified, and he can only walk with his primordial spirit."

"This person is nothing to worry about. In other words, as long as we kill Xu Qing, we can return to the primordial world."

Because of what had just happened, everyone present was feeling down, so Shi Chen spoke up, wanting to boost morale.

"yes!"

Sure enough, the mention of returning to the primordial world rekindled the spirits of all the demon gods.

Subsequently, the eight demon gods found Chaos and Taotie in turn. According to the previous arrangement, Fate took over Chaos's body, and Karma took over Taotie's body.

Chaos is a blood-red, oval-shaped fleshy ball with four legs at the bottom and six wings at the top, but no facial features.

The Taotie has the body of a sheep and the face of a human, with eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth and human hands, and both sheep horns and cow horns growing on its head, with the sheep horns pointing upwards and the cow horns pointing downwards. Its body is covered in green wool.

It took four months and three months respectively to possess these two ferocious beasts. When all four beasts were completely under control, it was also the day that Hongjun and Luohou became saints.

"Shichen, hurry and go find Xu Qing! I can't stand this body anymore!"

Fate spoke in a muffled voice, its chaotic form strangely resembling a fleshy ball, which he found difficult to get used to.

"Yang Mei, come here!"

"yes!"

The Na Guo Shou Yun Jade on Xu Qing's body is the hiding place of the Zhongmiao Jiyi Sect, and Yang Mei is half of the spirit of the Zhongmiao Jiyi Sect. Yang Mei can find Xu Qing based on this causal connection, and Xu Qing will find it difficult to counter, because once he throws away the Na Guo Shou Yun Jade, he will find it difficult to return to the real primordial world.

The black cube on Qiongqi's head throbbed a few times, and six strange black lines extended from the portal, then intertwined and tangled into a thicker black line that stretched towards Xu Qing's location.

Only Yang Mei could see the black line; Xu Qing could hardly notice it, which was truly terrifying.
