Chapter 34: Ancestor Universe Angrily Questions the Great Dao

"Th-this, what place is this?"

"Why is it so similar to the Chaos period?"

The moment Universe escaped into the void, he noticed that the surrounding environment was wrong.

Looking around, gray and chaotic air currents filled the world, with no distinction between up, down, left, or right, and the universe's space-time was chaotic and disorderly.

Dead silence, emptiness, and coldness seemed to be the main theme of this place, making one feel irritable and unable to calm down to think.

"I clearly just wanted to escape into the void, how did I come to this ghost place?!"

Universe looked at everything around him that was both familiar and strange, and uncontrollable panic constantly eroded his reason.

He went crazy, his eyes becoming increasingly scarlet, and he walked around with a ferocious face, waving the Universe Cauldron and impacting the space-time barrier.

He hoped to escape this place as soon as possible.

It was just that, with his reason nearly collapsed, he had long forgotten

the most crucial survival rule when in the Chaos World.

That is, unless necessary, one must never attack the surrounding space-time!

After all, the most dangerous things in the Chaos period were not the Chaos gales that annihilated all living beings, nor the dead silence and emptiness seen everywhere.

It was the already disordered space-time!

If Universe were still a Chaos Demon God with the strength of a Primordial Great Perfection,

he could naturally rely on the Great Dao laws to stabilize the surrounding chaotic space-time and avoid being carried away to dangerous Chaos areas containing unknown perils.

But he was now only in the Primordial Middle Stage.

His reason was also nearing collapse due to the erosion of evil spirits and killing intent, plus his sudden arrival in the Chaos World.

After smashing the barrier only a few times, he was caught by a suddenly rising space-time turbulence.

And was carried to an area filled with Chaos gales.

In an instant, Universe couldn't even let out a scream before his physical body was completely annihilated.

If Diti hadn't taken action in time to freeze the wantonly sweeping Chaos gales,

his soul would probably have been completely ground away!

"Which fellow Daoist is here toying with this poor Daoist?"

"Any problems or demands, we can all discuss."

"I only ask that you spare my life!"

With the annihilation of his physical body, the influence of evil spirits and killing intent had clearly subsided quite a bit.

Universe's reason also slightly recovered.

He understood that he had now become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

He immediately chose to abandon everything to save his life!

"Hand over all your possessions."

Diti would naturally not be stupid enough to appear in person.

If the Chaos period were included, the other party had lived for at least tens of thousands of Great Eras.

Who knew if he had any insidious trump cards like curses or poison arts.

Although with Qiankun's personality, it was unlikely he would take the path of mutual destruction.

But he had the intention of eliminating future troubles once and for all.

What if the other party really did have one and was holding the intention of mutual destruction?

Wouldn't he be in danger then?

"I can."

Qiankun, seeing that the other party had a request, felt his worries suddenly subside by more than half.

As long as he could buy his life, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and protective magic weapons were all just external things!

"But you must swear an oath to the Great Dao to ensure that after I hand over everything, you will spare my life."

"That goes without saying."

Regarding this proposal from Qiankun,

Diti agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Setting aside the fact that the world within the Chaos Bead was not recognized or managed by the Great Dao at all,

here, he was the greatest!

Even if he swore such an oath every day, it would not have the slightest effect on him.

What's more, he had indeed promised to spare his life.

But Qiankun himself was incompetent and could not escape the sweeping of the Chaos gales, leading to the annihilation of his soul.

Then that could only be considered his bad luck, and it had nothing to do with him.

Isn't that right?!

"The Great Dao is above, Heaven and Earth witness it."

"As long as Qiankun gives up all his possessions, I can let him leave."

In order to be more realistic,

he also manipulated the Chaos Bead to transmit a promise that echoed through the surrounding Chaos and Qiankun's soul.

"This is my companion treasure, the Universe Cauldron and Universe Map; I hope the fellow Daoist will accept them."

Actually, the truth or falsehood of this promise could be discovered with a little care.

But Qiankun, under the influence of the Chaos air currents and the residual evil spirits and killing intent, felt his soul weakening at a visible speed.

If he didn't leave this place, he would definitely die and his soul would scatter.

So he didn't have time to think about anything else.

He forcibly severed the connection with the Universe Cauldron and Universe Map and respectfully placed them in front of him.

"As for my years of accumulation, I have placed them all inside the Universe Cauldron and Universe Map; you can check them yourself, fellow Daoist."

Hearing this, Diti did not immediately take out the Universe Cauldron and Universe Map to check.

Instead, he made Qiankun swear an oath to the Great Dao

that he had handed over all his past harvests without the slightest concealment,

had not tampered with the Universe Cauldron and Universe Map, and would not seek revenge in any form.

Otherwise, he would immediately be annihilated by the Chaos gales and die without a burial place.

Regarding this requirement, although Qiankun was unwilling in his heart, in order to save his life, he could only helplessly agree.

And he immediately swore to the Great Dao,

repeating what Diti had said.

As the oath fell, a promise from the void echoed, and the Universe Cauldron and Universe Map disappeared.

Qiankun, thinking he could finally leave,

discovered that the surrounding Chaos gales suddenly became violent and swept toward him in an instant!

"I didn't hide anything, I didn't tamper with the magic treasures, and I didn't seek revenge in any form!"

"Why are you punishing me!"

"Great Dao! You..."

However, before he could finish questioning the Great Dao, the Chaos gales had already reached him, and in less than a dozen breaths, his soul was completely annihilated.

Only a little bit of true spirit and the broken origin of the Universe Great Dao remained, quietly suspended in the Chaos void!

Regarding these two, Diti did not take them over immediately either.

Instead, he isolated them separately and stored them in a Chaos space-time.

And he made the Chaos space-time storing the true spirit constantly stir up Chaos gales to ensure that the other party had no possibility of resurrection.

"As expected of an existence that survived to the end of two Great Calamities."

"Truly dripping with wealth!"

As his divine sense probed into the Universe Cauldron and Universe Map, Diti was truly stunned for a moment.

There were not many innate spiritual treasures inside, probably only about a hundred or so.

But the innate spiritual materials and rare minerals used for refining weapons were countless.

Take the treasures in the Star Court treasury as an example.

A group of innate star gods traded with the ten thousand tribes of Honghuang for tens of thousands of years before accumulating the massive wealth they had today.

Yet the heavenly materials and earthly treasures collected by Qiankun were comparable to one-fifth of the treasures in the treasury!

From this, one could see how terrifying the wealth he had accumulated was!

"Using this as a basis, I can peek at the legacy inherited by Hongjun."

"One can imagine how vast the other party's possessions must be!"

As his thoughts fluctuated, Diti became even more determined to collect the debt from Hongjun.

The Honghuang world was opened by the Father God, and everything within it should belong to him!

This group of reincarnated Demon Gods led by Hongjun

dared to loot the people's wealth like this and collect the legacy left to him by the Father God!

This is simply a path to death!

They must be made to pay it back a thousand times, ten thousand times!!
