821 Chapter 821: Chaos
Ye Xiao fell in deep thought. He had guessed many things from the short conversation with Supreme Ancient Devil, he also gained many important pieces of information that shattered and at the same time, expanded his understanding of universes.
What shocked him the most was that there are actually countless universes like Heavens in Chaos.
Then again, what exactly was Chaos?
Looking at the Supreme Ancient Devil, Ye Xiao thought of something and asked: “Since a Divine G.o.d (both Fake and True Divine G.o.ds) could increase their strength by devouring the Source of the Universe, doesn’t it mean all Divine G.o.ds would fight for it. And till this date, there have already been an unknown number of universes destroyed under their greedy hands!”
“Yes, you are right!” Supreme Ancient Devil nodded his head, saying: “Unknown number of universes has already been destroyed by many Divine G.o.ds till this date. But it doesn’t really matter, for these kinds of universes are always born once in a while.”
“It doesn’t matter?” Ye Xiao’s eyes flashed with light. Supreme Ancient Devil doesn’t know what is running in Ye Xiao’s mind, but for some reason, his consciousness trembled. It was at this moment when Ye Xiao again said: “How can it doesn’t matter. Destroying a single universe means wiping out countless numbers of life instantly. Killing so many people, does it really not matter?”
“This is CHAOS!” Supreme Ancient Devil took a deep breath and said: “Why do you think I want to increase my strength as soon as possible by devouring the Sources of Universe?”pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
Without waiting for Ye Xiao to speak, he continued: “It is because we, the Divine G.o.ds, are just an ant in this endless Chaos. We can be killed with just the flick of a finger by even the lowest level of Chaos Being. Even a newborn chaos beast could swallow us instantly and we won’t be able to put up any effort to resist them. As a Divine G.o.d, we needed to increase our strength as soon as possible, just to survive this chaos.”
“So, in our eyes, the Sources of Universes are of course the best resources to increase our strength as soon as possible!”
Ye Xiao looked at the distant sky, although it was completely dark in this unknown void, he seemed to have many lights flashing in his eyes. He didn’t respond to the Supreme Ancient Devil for a while. He seemed to have fallen in deep thought. After a while, when he come back to his senses, he changed the topic and asked: “What is this place… I mean the Ancient City where we were squabbling before?”
“Oh! That place, it was just a small floating land in the endless chaos.”
pAɴᴅᴀ ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ “Small Floating Land? Was it used to be a part of some world of the chaos once?”
“No, it is not like that. The concept of worlds doesn’t exist in Chaos. Worlds only exist in the Source Universes. In the endless chaos, there is nothing but chaos energy, and darkness. In this darkness, you can find a Source Universe after years of travelling. To travel from one Source Universe to another, you might need to spend a hundred years or you might even need to spend eons, everything depends on distance.” pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
“Other than Source Universes, there are many small and big lands in chaos. These lands are the habitats of people living in Chaos. The Ancient City from before is just a very small piece of land that shattered and separated from those big lands ages ago for some reason and started floating in the endless Chaos. I was lucky enough to come across this piece of floating land when I was thinking of ambushing those five giants in the past, otherwise, who knows how many years it would have taken me to reach the other ground.”
Ye Xiao understood about 60% of things told by Supreme Ancient Devil, as for the other 40%, they all jumped past his head. These pieces of information were too much for the current him to handle. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should continue asking or not.
After a while, he decided not to ask anything. If he could break the limit of Heavens and transcendent, he would obviously come to chaos. That time will be the perfect one for him to obtain and understand these types of information.
‘The concept of worlds doesn’t exist in Chaos; means there is not a single world in Chaos!’
When Ye Xiao thought of this, he sucked a deep breath of air and exhaled.
Perhaps it was because Supreme Ancient Devil felt Ye Xiao’s emotions, his eyes flickered with light as he took the initiative to say, “Do you know why I wanted to kill these five giants?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
“Because only they had the strength to kill you?” Ye Xiao replied unwittingly.
“Are you dumb?” Supreme Ancient Devil’s mouth twitched as he asked, causing Ye Xiao to frown. Seeing this, Supreme Ancient Devil hurriedly said: “What I told you at first, forget them. Didn’t you hear what I told you just a few minutes ago? Any Divine G.o.d is just like an ant that can be trampled by any Being of Chaos. It means I’m also just an ant in those people’s eyes and could be killed by any one of them instantly.”
“I wanted to kill those five t.i.tans because I wanted to devour their heart essence and become a t.i.tan myself!”
Ye Xiao suddenly realized his mistake as an embarra.s.sing smile appeared on his face. But he quickly straightened his face and was about to ask when he was once again interrupted by Supreme Ancient Devil.
“Do you know why I wanted to become a t.i.tan myself? It is because I’m a devil cultivator and in Chaos, there is no future of Devil or Devil Cultivator. Maybe, it’s because of the rules of chaos, no Devil or Devil Cultivator could transform into a being of Chaos. Well, any being of Chaos could cultivate demonic cultivation method and become a devil, but no devil can become a Being of Chaos.”
“I wanted to escape this restriction. No matter what level my cultivation base has reached, I will never be able to truly become a Chaotic Being because I’m a devil. Although I have an endless lifespan because I’m a Supreme Devil even among devils, I would rather give up my eternal life and become a Being of Chaos!”
At this point, a trace of regret flashed across Supreme Ancient Devil’s eyes.
If he had known that he would end up like this, he would have never tried to swallow Ye Xiao just because of the Calamity Bloodline inside his body.
‘Why? Why did I even try to swallow him? If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have begged for mercy like an ant right now!’
Supreme Ancient Devil’s consciousness fluctuated violently when he thought about this.
“Your answer makes me very dissatisfied.” Ye Xiao took a deep breath and said faintly.
He wanted to ask more questions, but there were too many questions. It would take a lot of time. In order to avoid any accidents, Ye Xiao decisively decided to kill the Supreme Ancient Devil instantly.
“You… You promised you’ll not kill me!” Supreme Ancient Devil immediately retreated and shouted.
Ye Xiao shook his head, saying: “You are not being honest. There must be other reasons why you killed those five t.i.tans and why you ended up in your current state. Moreover, you are a hidden danger that already knows the location of Heavens. Currently, in the state of consciousness, you are weaker than me for some mysterious and unknown reason, however, the same couldn’t be said when you successfully become one with this giant’s body. At that time, in order to become a True G.o.d, you’ll definitely invade the Heavens yourself. And no one will have the strength to go against you. You can directly destroy the entire Universe and swallow its source.”
“So, letting a hidden danger like you go will only bring me and other Universes more troubles in the future. So, it is very reasonable for me to get rid of any future trouble.” Saying this, Ye Xiao threw himself at Supreme Ancient Devil’s consciousness.
“You are shameless!” Supreme Ancient Devil let out a desperate roar.
However, before Ye Xiao could even go near the Supreme Ancient Devil, he and Supreme Ancient Devil suddenly felt a current running through their consciousness, as if some kind of restriction has just lifted off their consciousness bodies.
At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted out of the consciousness of Supreme Ancient Devil and his consciousness suddenly started enlarging.
It was at this moment when an extremely weak voice that seemed to be dispersing echoed in this strange void. This voice was for Ye Xiao to hear.
The weak voice said: “Leave quickly, my last bit of soul force is completely dispersing now. After this moment, I no longer have any control over my body. If you could, then escape. Go back to that universe of yours. This body of mine is from inside, this devil needs many years to recover. Go… ba…c…”
