Chapter 358

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to take a trip with me?"

Xiang Xuanqing smiled indifferently, his aura deep and unfathomable, "Sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist, for leading the way."

The phantom of the Demon God of Energy Conservation nodded slightly, then turned around, and a light bridge made of pure energy extended from under its feet, crossing the chaotic dimensional space and pointing to a darker and deeper nothingness.

Xiang Xuanqing's consciousness body stepped onto the light bridge calmly and traveled with it.

Passing through layers of spatial faults and crossing countless remains of dead stars, they finally arrived at a strange realm shrouded in rich power of reincarnation.

Here, the laws of life and death are intertwined, the Qi of Yin and Yang is confused, and countless residual souls and obsessions float in it, emitting silent wails.

If ordinary divine spirits were to enter by mistake, they would be assimilated by the power of reincarnation in an instant, their souls would dissipate, and they would never be able to transcend.

At the end of the light bridge is an ancient stone platform floating in the return to ruins.

For a long time, the chaotic airflow on the stone platform began to squirm strangely, and a mass of indescribable shadow slowly condensed, turning into a blurred figure.

Six divine lights appeared behind Him, turning into light wheels that kept rotating, and an ancient, desolate, cold, and infinitely changing aura permeated.

That figure could not see the specific appearance, but emitted a heart-palpitating Dao rhyme of reincarnation, as if it were the source and destination of the life and death cycle of the entire universe.

He had no fixed form, sometimes like a giant abyss mouth, sometimes turning into billions of reincarnation light and shadows intertwined, in which one could vaguely see the joys and sorrows, life and death, and illusions of countless living beings.

"Fellow Daoist, long time no see." The Demon God of Reincarnation spoke slowly, his voice ethereal and distant, carrying a trace of the vicissitudes of time and the indifference of reincarnation.

"Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, we have known each other for a long time."

Xiang Xuanqing's consciousness body stood still in front of the stone platform, looking at the other party with calm eyes, "I didn't expect that we could meet in this way."

"And, your state seems to be much better than his."

Xiang Xuanqing glanced at the Demon God of Energy Conservation.

The Demon God of Energy Conservation stared slightly, then stubbornly turned his head away.

No way, he couldn't beat him.

In the Fierce Beast Tribulation, he didn't even see Xiang Xuanqing's face before he was killed by the Taiwei gods.

If it weren't for his special Great Dao, he would have really died directly.

"I'm just lingering on."

The Demon God of Reincarnation's voice could not tell joy or anger, "Inviting you here today, Fellow Daoist, is just for a deal."

Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "Please speak."

The Demon God of Reincarnation was silent for a moment, and the rotation of the six light wheels seemed to slow down a bit: "Does Fellow Daoist know that Chaos Demon Gods are all incarnations of the Great Dao, each with their own obsessions and pursuits, and are not of one piece?"

"I know a little bit." Xiang Xuanqing nodded slightly.

The Demon God of Reincarnation continued: "So, our binding with Shen Ni is actually not that deep; for example, some Demon Gods actually just want to seek a glimmer of life and pursue the eternal Great Dao."

"And I am one of them."

This is cutting ties at the speed of light.

Pointing out the reason for seeking Xiang Xuanqing—Shen Ni is not their only choice.

Xiang Xuanqing was noncommittal about this.

Since Shen Ni is not their only choice, he is probably not either.

It seems that the Demon Gods of the Chaos era are not simple.

Pangu opening the sky is very flexible, and these Chaos Demon Gods are not rigid people.

Then, the Demon God of Energy Conservation on the side spoke, launching a critique of Hongjun.

He said: "Hongjun is unfathomable, and what he plans is very far-reaching."

"If he succeeds, the future fate of us surviving Chaos Demon Gods, as well as the myriad living beings of the Primordial World, will be worrying."

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Hongjun is a bad guy, we should unite.

Xiang Xuanqing interpreted the meaning.

The Demon God of Reincarnation said: "No matter who wins or loses between you and Hongjun, the Primordial World will face huge changes."

"We chose you, Fellow Daoist, because we value the changes you bring to the Primordial World more."

How he saw it, Reincarnation didn't say.

His voice seemed to come from the ancient past, carrying a sigh, and also a trace of expectation, "My Dao is trapped in chaos; although I hold reincarnation, it is ultimately a disorderly cycle, life and death repeating, without seeing the true meaning."

"The battle of opening the sky was extremely tragic. Although I died at the hands of Pangu, I finally saw a glimmer of hope for the Great Dao."

Saying that, the Demon God of Reincarnation looked at Xiang Xuanqing.

Light and shadow flowed in his eyes, as if countless worlds were collapsing and being born in them: "Shen Ni's Dao, or the pursuit of the Chaos Demon Gods who participated in the Fierce Beast Tribulation, is destruction and return to ruins."

"For my Great Dao of Reincarnation, it is just a continuation of the old cage, even worse, and even the trajectory of 'cycle' will be blurred, and the meaning of 'return' will be lost."

"I chose you, Fellow Daoist, I chose Taiwei, because I want to help you build a new order for the Primordial World, a new order where heaven and earth cooperate and all things rotate."

"And what we seek is just a further step in the Great Dao."

As a Chaos Demon God, he naturally has his pride and power.

But the Great Dao is boundless, and he is also seeking a breakthrough.

This is what the Demon God of Reincarnation really cares about.

Xiang Xuanqing's existence allowed him to see a brand new possibility—a possibility that could allow his Great Dao of Reincarnation to get rid of the shackles of chaos and even sublimate.

Why not choose Hongjun?

Different Daos, no common plans.

They don't get along with Hongjun.

"Besides the Great Dao, what other conditions do you have, Fellow Daoist?" Xiang Xuanqing asked.

"Besides the Great Dao?"

The Demon God of Reincarnation pondered for a moment and said: "What I seek is all within the Great Dao."

"For example?"

"Netherworld!"

Xiang Xuanqing smiled.

Very good, he didn't see who I am.

Then I can start to fool... cough cough, it is to guide the direction of the Great Dao.

"You want to take down the Netherworld?" Xiang Xuanqing asked.

"No, we want to help you take down the Netherworld, Fellow Daoist."

"I thought that if Taiwei wants to establish a new world order, it shouldn't be limited to mastering the Heavenly Cycle; these three realms of heaven, earth, and man should all be included."

The Demon God of Reincarnation said so.

These words were very beautiful.

Xiang Xuanqing asked again: "What will you do after you take down the Netherworld?"

He began to ask for the price.

The Demon God of Reincarnation didn't answer, but asked tentatively: "If we help you take down the Netherworld, Fellow Daoist, what will you do?"

This is asking for the price.

"Me?"

Xiang Xuanqing smiled indifferently: "I think the Netherworld lacks a reincarnation."

The Demon God of Reincarnation's eyes lit up: "What else?"

Xiang Xuanqing's expression was solemn, but his eyes flashed with confident light: "I want to find a balance between chaos and the new world."

"I think reincarnation should become a chaotic echo, and it should also become the hub for the operation of the Primordial True Realm and even the myriad worlds, carrying the life and breath of all spirits and promoting the evolution of the Great Dao."

"Your reincarnation will have unprecedented meaning and... the possibility of sublimation."

Boom~~

The chaotic airflow surged, and the rotation speed of the six light wheels behind the Demon God of Reincarnation accelerated.

"Please continue, Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di." Reincarnation's tone carried a clear sense of joy.

"Please look!"

Xiang Xuanqing stretched out his hand, clear light flowed in his palm, and a miniature world prototype slowly emerged, in which life and death flowed and order was orderly:

"To tell you the truth, our Taiwei does have a plan to annex the Netherworld."

"We plan to build the entire Netherworld into the final destination for all heavenly divine beings and infinite living beings."

"But this plan has always lacked an opportunity, and every time we deduce it, we can't get the point."

"Until I met you, Fellow Daoist—your Great Dao of Reincarnation might be the best solution we envisioned."

Xiang Xuanqing looked at the somewhat excited Demon God of Reincarnation and said with a smile: "I think that in a world, reincarnation should be the cornerstone of the operation of heaven, earth, and man, the judgment of merit and sin, the bridge for the reincarnation of true spirits, the core of the rotation of heaven and earth, and the embodiment of the cycle of the Great Dao."

"The death of all living beings in the world should be realized through reincarnation."

"The gods of heaven and earth are no exception."

"This is a key link in the construction of the Primordial order, which can not only help infinite grievances and remnants be liberated and help them gain new life, but also promote the energy cycle of the Primordial World."

"This is also related to energy?" The Demon God of Energy Conservation became interested, and he looked curiously at the world in Xiang Xuanqing's palm.

"Of course!"

Xiang Xuanqing looked between the Demon God of Energy Conservation and the Demon God of Reincarnation and said: "Isn't reincarnation an embodiment of energy conservation?"

Boom!!

The Demon God of Energy Conservation's eyes lit up, and his spirit was greatly boosted!

"Yes, isn't reincarnation an embodiment of energy conservation? Why didn't I think of it! Why didn't I think of it!" The Demon God of Energy Conservation muttered to himself, his expression neither crying nor laughing, a bit crazy.

Xiang Xuanqing turned to look at the Demon God of Reincarnation and promised: "If you are really willing to help me, Fellow Daoist, you will become the founder and master of the reincarnation order of the Primordial True Realm."

The Demon God of Reincarnation took a deep breath, and the reincarnation light and shadow around him began to fluctuate violently, and then infinite brilliance suddenly contracted and condensed inward.

He stared at the world prototype in Xiang Xuanqing's palm for a long time without speaking.

As the master of reincarnation, he could feel the vibrant vitality and rigorous order contained within, which was a mystery that was completely different from chaos but vaguely in harmony.

"The Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di's vision... is indeed heart-stirring."

The Demon God of Reincarnation finally spoke, "Although I am a Chaos Demon God, I don't want to see the living beings of the Primordial World fall into sinking forever and be unable to transcend."

"For the sake of the Primordial World, for the sake of all living beings, and for the sake of the Great Dao, I must help you, Fellow Daoist!"

Having said that, the figure of the Demon God of Reincarnation suddenly exploded, turning into eighty-one deep and dark reincarnation lights that contained vibrant vitality.

Each reincarnation light emitted a pure aura of the origin of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, as well as a trace of the unique imprint belonging to the Demon God of Reincarnation.

"Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, these eighty-one reincarnation thoughts are our early investment!"

"I hope we can reach a long-term cooperation!"

The voice of the Demon God of Reincarnation became scattered, coming from every reincarnation light, grand and solemn.

Xiang Xuanqing looked at the void and asked: "Do you need me to sign some Chaos Contract, Fellow Daoist?"

The laughter of the Demon God of Reincarnation came from the void: "Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, don't worry about any contract; since we chose you, we trust you!"

Xiang Xuanqing insisted: "No, no, no, the contract still needs to be signed."

"I need to be worthy of the trust of you fellow Daoists."

Upon hearing this, the Demon God of Reincarnation's expression stirred, revealing more joyful emotions.

"Since the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di insists, then we will sign!"

Hu hu hu~~

The chaotic airflow surged, and a Demon God phantom condensed.

"Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, I am the Demon God of Contract." As soon as the Demon God of Contract arrived, he took out a scroll: "Please!"

Xiang Xuanqing looked carefully and found no problems; this was just a cooperation contract, requiring that they not betray each other, otherwise they would inevitably suffer the backlash of the Great Dao and fall into sinking forever.

Xiang Xuanqing signed the name 【Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di Taiwei】 very readily, and then took away the eighty-one reincarnation thoughts.

"Good!"

The three Demon Gods of Reincarnation, Energy, and Contract were all beaming.

Suddenly, the strange space vibrated, and the figures of the three Demon Gods became illusory.

"Bad, our time is up; it seems we can only communicate with the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di next time." The Demon God of Reincarnation waved his hand, signaling the Demon God of Energy Conservation to send Xiang Xuanqing back to reality.

"Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, follow me closely, otherwise great terror will happen!"

The Demon God of Energy Conservation was a bit nervous.

Xiang Xuanqing looked left and right, his expression as usual: "Let's go."

They followed an unknown path and returned to reality.

Outside, Undying Mountain.

"Bang!!"

With a loud noise, Xiang Xuanqing rose from the coffin.

"What's going on?"

The Taiwei gods looked over in a hurry.

They saw eighty-one reincarnation lights circling Xiang Xuanqing, then turning into eighty-one Heavenly Demon Kings, standing quietly behind Xiang Xuanqing.

"???"

The group of divine spirits was stunned.

Didn't the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di want to use the Chaos Coffin to study the "reason of existence and non-existence" and reverse the Dao of Taiwu?

How did he reverse eighty-one Heavenly Demon Kings!

Especially Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who was even more bewildered.

【Good guy, with this posture, how is the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di more like the Demon Ancestor than me?】

After Xiang Xuanqing left, the strange space rippled with chaotic tides again.

Phantoms appeared beside the Demon God of Reincarnation.

"Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, is Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di Taiwei really credible?" A Demon God spoke, his aura powerful.

Demon God of Reincarnation: "I caught a glimpse of a corner of the future; the Taiwei Heavenly Court will emerge and rule over all Daos of the Primordial World."

"Fellow Daoist, how do you know you haven't been interfered with? That might be a fake future released by the enemy!" The Demon Gods asked.

"True or false is not important; after all, I don't have many choices."

The Demon God of Reincarnation said: "Actually, compared to him, I am more optimistic about two other existences."

"Who?"

Demon God of Reincarnation: "The masters of the Mountains and Seas Realm—Fu Xi, Nv Wa."

"What did you see?" The Demon Gods asked.

"Creation and rebirth."

The Demon God of Reincarnation's eyes were deep: "If we use reincarnation to lay out, we can catch the ticket to the new era through them."

"Perhaps, the glory of our entire era can be restarted through them!"

The group of Demon Gods was silent.

"Then why did you choose to bet on Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di Taiwei, Fellow Daoist?" The Demon God of Energy Conservation spoke.

The Demon God of Reincarnation smiled: "First, the opportunity for the other ticket to appear is much later than this era, which means there will be more unpredictable variables."

"Second, investing in Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di Taiwei is not a loss; it can pave the way for the next trip."

"Of course, the most important point is."

The Demon God of Reincarnation's eyes flashed, and he spoke slowly: "Fellow Daoist Fate told me that although the master of the Mountains and Seas Realm's ship is very suitable for us, Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di Taiwei's ship is bigger, so big that the existence I am most optimistic about is a crew member on this ship."

"What?"

The remaining Demon Gods were surprised.

"Alright, my investment is finished; it's time to talk about your investments, fellow Daoists."

The Demon God of Reincarnation looked around and asked with a smile: "After you fellow Daoists got off Shen Ni's ship, whose ship did you get on?"

"This... this..."

Some Demon Gods hesitated, their expressions very unnatural.

Fortunately, they were all hidden in the chaotic mist, and they couldn't see each other's expressions.

The three thousand Chaos Demon Gods were never of one piece.

It was just that the hatred for Pangu brought them together.

But after the Fierce Beast Tribulation ended, they gradually recognized reality, changed their tactics, and chose to get on the ship first, and then break through the fortress of the Primordial World from the inside!

After all, even the dream team composed of the Demon God of Destruction, the Demon God of Order, etc., suffered a miserable defeat.

Most of them were not much stronger than Destruction and Order.

Chaos Demon Gods are not fools; how could they really hang themselves on Shen Ni's tree?

Not to mention that after the tribulation, Shen Ni had already been defined by all forces in the Primordial World and the entire era.

He is the number one terrorist and big bad guy.

No matter who gets involved with him, they may be attacked and besieged by the Primordial divine beings.

So, Shen Ni died.

He must also die.

If he doesn't die, he will become the target of the Primordial divine beings.

All bad things and all scapegoats in the Primordial World will be buckled on his head.

How dare the Chaos Demon Gods come to the door with these on their backs?

Isn't that exposing themselves?

Mount Jin Ting, the friendly tournament ended.

The Dao Alliance won five and lost four.

Warm applause erupted at the scene.

The huge banner was held high again by the flower spirits, but the words on it changed to—"Warmly celebrate the complete success of the friendly exchange between the Dao Alliance and the Ten Directions Divine Palace, and congratulate the Dao Alliance leader on coming to Mount Jin Ting to guide the work!"

The immortals of the Dao Alliance looked at the banner that changed its face faster than turning a book, and the calm smile on Fu Xi's face that "everything is within expectations," and they were all a bit dumbfounded.

Forget it, they have laid out the steps for you, and given you enough face and substance.

Yao Chi and the Three Official Great Emperors looked at each other and smiled, both having their own calculations in their hearts.

This Ten Directions Divine Palace is formidable in strength and knows how to judge the situation; it is indeed an ally worth recruiting vigorously.

"Fellow Daoist Fu Xi, the Ten Directions Palace is full of talents and has a deep foundation; seeing it today, it is well-deserved. In this friendly match, our Dao Alliance won by a narrow margin, which is also a fluke." Yao Chi stood up, her bearing elegant.

"Fellow Daoist is overpraising; the Dao Alliance is the orthodoxy of the Primordial World, and exchanging with the Dao Alliance is the honor of our Ten Directions Divine Palace." Fu Xi also responded politely.

Next, both sides symbolically held a "negotiation conference" with a warm and friendly atmosphere inside the Ten Directions Divine Palace.

At the meeting, Yao Chi of the Dao Alliance first delivered a passionate speech, highly praising the outstanding contributions made by the Ten Directions Divine Palace since its establishment in fighting against extraterrestrial fierce beasts, maintaining the stability of the Eastern Primordial World, protecting Eastern loose cultivators, and spreading the Immortal Path civilization.

She stated that the righteous deeds of the Ten Directions Divine Palace are remembered by all spirits of the Primordial World, and its achievements are brilliant for thousands of generations, shining with the sun and moon.

Immediately afterward, Great God Fu Xi, the representative of the Ten Directions Divine Palace, also delivered an important speech.

He first expressed his heartfelt thanks to Yao Chi and the Dao Alliance for their affirmation, and fully affirmed the brilliant achievements made by the Dao Alliance since its establishment in integrating Immortal Path forces, preaching to all living beings, standardizing cultivation order, and cultivating pillars of talent for the Primordial World.

He emphasized that the Dao Alliance is the lighthouse of all living beings and the hope of the Primordial World.

After the representatives of both sides finished speaking, the applause under the stage was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

Subsequently, both sides conducted an "in-depth," "candid," and "constructive" talk on issues such as the Ten Directions Divine Palace formally joining the Dao Alliance, becoming a strategic partner of the Dao Alliance in the East, and working together for the development of the Primordial World and the prosperity of the Immortal Path, and reached a series of "important consensuses."

Western Land, Mount Sumeru.

On the nine-rank lotus platform sat a figure wearing a mysterious black imperial robe, with a face shrouded in chaotic mist—the leader of the Demon Sect, 【Daoist Xu Huang】.

His aura was ethereal and uncertain, seeming to exist or not, as if virtual or real.

Below, several powerful Demon Dao giants sat in rows.

"Unreasonable!" The first to speak was a burly old man with thick earthy yellow demonic energy lingering around him, with two horns on his head and a fierce face.

He was none other than 【Demon Venerable】 Pan Wang Laozu, his voice like a bell, making the whole hall buzz, "Those hypocrites of the Dao Alliance, the speed of their expansion is simply unimaginable!"

"Now even Tai Hao Fu Xi of the East has actually bowed his head and joined the Dao Alliance!"

Beside Pan Wang Laozu, a great demon wore a black cloak, his whole body wrapped in thick darkness, as if even light could not escape.

"I think Tai Hao Fu Xi is just a person who follows the trend; it's a pity that I thought he was a divine being with the Dao before!" The Dark Demon God launched a critique of Fu Xi.

Sitting opposite him was the Light Demon God.

"The Dao Alliance can recruit Eastern loose cultivators, why can't we recruit Western loose cultivators?"

"The honorable names of Tai Hao and Shao Hao are very conflicting; I think if we go to recruit Bai Dishaohao, he won't refuse."

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist is right."

Daoist Xu Huang finally spoke slowly, his voice not high, but carrying a majesty and depth that penetrated the soul: "The momentum of the Dao Alliance is indeed beyond my expectations."

"Recruiting Changliu Mountain has become a must for us."

His gaze fell on Pan Wang Laozu, the Dark Demon God, the Light Demon God, and another Tian Tian Mo Wang with lightning flashing around him and a violent aura—the great power Lei Ze.

"Please, four fellow Daoists, go to Changliu Mountain in the West, and in the name of the Demon Ancestor, invite Bai Dishaohao to come to our Mount Sumeru for a talk."

"Respectfully follow the decree of the Sect Leader!" Pan Wang Laozu, Great God Lei Ze, the Dark Demon God, and the Light Demon God stood up together and bowed to accept the order.

They did not delay at all, and as the demonic energy surged, they turned into four shocking long rainbows, tearing through the void, carrying rolling demonic power, and heading straight toward Changliu Mountain in the West.

Changliu Mountain, before the Bai Di Palace.

A Daoist wearing a simple Daoist robe, with a look of sorrow on his face, but also faintly revealing an aura of great wisdom and great compassion, was sitting cross-legged.

He was none other than Daoist Jie Yin.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, slowly opened his eyes, and cast his gaze toward the Eastern horizon.

He saw four long rivers of demonic energy of different colors in the sky, sweeping over at an astonishing speed, with great momentum, aiming directly at Changliu Mountain.

Daoist Jie Yin's mouth, however, curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Not only was he not panicked, but he put his hands together, his whole body burst into golden light, and a sixteen-foot golden Buddha dharma image appeared impressively.

This Buddha had a solemn appearance, a wheel of wisdom behind his head, one hand holding a demon-subduing pestle, and the other hand forming a preaching seal, with compassion and majesty coexisting.

"Eh, the fate of Buddha and Demon, isn't it here!"

"Bang!" The palace gate opened.

【Shao Hao】 Zhun Ti, wearing an imperial robe, appeared, walking side by side with the golden Buddha.

"Senior Brother, it's time for us to go see the scenery of Mount Sumeru."
