Chapter 773
Cutting
"King Treachery, do you have a good idea?" the voice of the Calamity King rang out.
"There are solutions, it just depends on whether you choose to use them," a sharp voice rang out.
"Spit it out already," the Dark Saint King said impatiently.
“We’ll withdraw, set up a barrier around the chaos, and then move all the captive star systems to the outside of the barrier.”
"Then these barriers can be imbued with the fortune of the primordial chaos of the star field and develop rapidly."
"Over time, this star field in the chaos will become like the chaotic star field. As long as we take a little control, we can open up a large breeding ground just like the chaotic star field."
Hearing King Treachery's words, King Calamity snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
"What you're saying has nothing to do with destroying the Chaos Starfield. So what if it's tainted by the primordial Dao's fortune and develops rapidly?"
"Even if we, the nine Chaos Gods, unite, we cannot break through the barrier they have erected. The only solution now is to wait and see who has more patience."
"With this patience, we should then find a way to weaken the development power of the primordial Dao star field within the chaos."
"In addition, I remember there are many humans in the star field we keep in captivity. We can bring them over, train them, and then slaughter them repeatedly for that human god-lord to see."
"Find a way to force them out!"
A nine-fingered giant claw dragged through the chaos, and then a star field appeared on the claw. Within that star field, humans were recuperating and living.
"I heard that the human race's Holy Lord cares most about their human lineage."
“We will continue to slaughter these humans outside the Chaos. One day, the human god will not be able to resist taking action. At that time, it will be our opportunity.”
Under King Tzeentch's influence, time within the star field began to accelerate, and the entire human race began to experience various fortuitous encounters, gradually developing and eventually dominating the entire star field.
As the human race was about to leave the star system to explore the outside world, King Tzeentch grinned maliciously.
One after another, powerful human warriors appeared outside the breach battlefield, bound to a strange rack.
One after another, inhumane punishments, in the eyes of humans, were carried out on the rack.
At first, the strong were on the rack, but later they were replaced by ordinary human people.
The horrific screams on the battlefield were amplified by King Tzeentch and amplified throughout the entire battlefield.
After this sound appeared, the human army guarding this place was enraged, but they still maintained absolute rationality and did not break through the breach.
At this moment, Xu Chen, who was guarding the battlefield, also received the news.
"I didn't expect you to use this trick so quickly."
Xu Chen, who was traveling in the human territory, frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, my husband?" Su Yueyao noticed Xu Chen's unusual behavior.
"There's been a small problem, I'll take care of it."
Xu Chen stood up and took a step, arriving above the Myriad Daos Ocean. Following the cause and effect, and along the Myriad Daos River, Xu Chen found the star field that the treacherous King held in his palm.
Chaos belongs to you, but it also belongs to the fundamental Dao.
A strange, primordial power enveloped the star field in King Treachery's hand, as well as the humans who were being tortured.
In an instant, the human star field in King Tzeentch's hand disappeared and appeared within the star field chaos.
A phantom clone appeared before King Tzeentch.
"As expected of King Tzeentch, given time, you will surely become the strongest Chaos God in the Chaos."
"I'll accept that human star system. Thanks for reminding me."
Just as Xu Chen's phantom clone was speaking, Xu Chen locked onto all the star fields in the chaos where humans existed and pulled them all into the chaotic star fields.
"Furthermore, I must thank you for bestowing upon me these great powers."
Xu Chen waved his hand suddenly, and thousands of humans floated behind him. These were all backup plans arranged by the cunning King. Each of these thousands of humans contained a trace of the Great Dao authority, and given time, they would surely rise to the top ranks of the human race.
“Interesting. Keep digging deeper and let me see how much you can find out about me.” Tzeentch King’s eyes darted around, and he looked at Xu Chen’s clone with a half-smile.
"Many things were discovered; the chaotic forces of fate, intricate and intertwined, ultimately converged on you."
"Therefore, I have all of these things under my control."
Xu Chen smiled and waved his hand, releasing a ball of chaotic causal power.
"You not only scheme against our Chaos Starfield, but also against Chaos Gods like yourself. How audacious of you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, eight enormous phantoms instantly appeared around them.
"Do you think we, as the Chaos Gods, would fall for such a simplistic attempt to sow discord?" King of Calamity sneered.
"You can't, but some Chaos Gods can."
“Take the weakest one for example.” Xu Chen’s gaze fell on a figure in the chaos, a phantom that represented the Dark Saint King.
"Shut up!"
"Don't think that just because we can't break through the barrier you set up in Chaos, you'll be safe."
"That chaotic star field is connected to our own chaotic star field. If we seal that gap, after a long period of time, your chaotic star field will eventually wither and die within the chaotic star field itself," the Calamity King said angrily.
"Since you have such a method, why didn't you do it before?" Xu Chen's lips curled up slightly, as if to say, "I'm not easily intimidated."
"How do you think the Chaos Starfield survived before? It was only by playing the role of a plaything in our hands that it was able to eke out a living in this small place."
"Now, apart from you, you're the only exception. You've only become stronger, but in our eyes, you're just a plaything."
"A fun toy, a toy that can help us while away this endless, long time."
"You'd better prove your worth in the future, or we will completely seal this gap, severing your connection with Chaos and leaving you to fend for yourselves in that small space." The Calamity's playful gaze turned to Xu Chen, growing increasingly cold.
"You can try. If you want to completely isolate our chaos, see if the will of chaos will agree," Xu Chen said quietly.
"I know what you're thinking. As long as there's a star field within the chaos we control, you can't sever your connection with chaos, can you?" King Tzeentch's sharp voice echoed through the chaos.
“We will destroy all the star fields in the chaos. No, we will give you a chance!” said Kong Na, who controlled the most power over the Great Dao of Space.
"Come and go as you please? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Xu Chen looked at these Chaos Gods with utter disdain. "Human God Lord, there's no need for a fight to the death. How about we make a deal? If you hand over one-tenth of your star domain every trillion years, we might allow you to keep your Chaos Star Domain and develop peacefully within it," said another Chaos God Heart King with a strangely benevolent expression.
"If you want to break the chaos, you'd better hurry up."
After Xu Chen finished speaking, he retracted the clone that had appeared in front of them.
The battle between gods and demons continued at the gap in the barrier, but now more battlefields were scattered among the small bulges on the barrier.
Xu Chen returned and continued to play in the chaos with the two women.
Meanwhile, at the spot where Xu Chen had just left, the nine Chaos Gods were discussing matters.
"The area of chaos occupied by the barrier accounts for one-tenth of the entire chaos. If we were to truly sever the chaos in this area, the price we would have to pay would be quite high."
“In the distant past, in order to defeat the other Chaos Gods, we completely severed nearly 60% of the entire Chaos region before we could destroy those Chaos Gods who controlled the Great Dao.”
"We have gone through many eras, and although we have all become stronger, we are not much stronger than we were back then."
“If we do this, the entire Chaos will shrink again, and they will completely lose the authority over the Great Dao that they control.” King Treachery’s sharp voice echoed in the ears of the other Chaos Gods.
"We must shrink it, because this chaos cannot tolerate any accidents."
"The human god lord has gathered so many great powers in such a short time, there must be a chaotic consciousness controlling him behind the scenes."
"Don't forget, the will of chaos belongs to chaos, and also to the Great Dao of Origin." The King of Calamity's gaze became increasingly firm, as if he had returned to the days when he fought against many Chaos Gods.
"After sealing off that chaotic area, we must exercise as much restraint as possible in our breeding farms, and send gods and demons to monitor each star field to prevent any star field creature with the authority of the Great Dao from being born."
"Let's start now and shut them down sooner rather than later, so we can deal with them sooner."
The nine Chaos Gods appeared at various points along the barrier set up by Xu Chen, united together, and used their own Great Dao authority as fuel to drive the Chaos Will, cutting and removing this chaotic area.
At that moment, Xu Chen was enjoying a beautiful sight with two women when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Xu Chen then received news that the gap in the barrier had been sealed, and even the small bulges that had expanded outwards had been sealed at the same gap, as if they were isolated from the entire chaos.
"These nine Chaos Gods are really going to isolate this region from Chaos!" Xu Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Since he gained control of more than 10% of the Great Dao's authority, he has had a faint connection with the will of chaos.
He also obtained this method of isolating chaos from the will of chaos, but the price he paid for cutting off chaos was the power of the Great Dao that he controlled.
The more it is cut, the more Dao authority it consumes.
To separate such a large area of chaos from the whole, at least one-tenth of the Great Dao's authority must be sacrificed, which is equivalent to each Chaos God sacrificing at least himself and one and a half-tenths of his Great Dao's authority.
The sound of hooves approached, and a purple spirited horse galloped towards them from afar.
After arriving at Xu Chen's side, it unusually transformed into a human form.
"The nine Chaos Gods joined forces to separate this chaotic realm."
"From then on, our chaotic land, like water without a source, slowly dried up and died."
The complex emotions on Wan Huan's face were something Xu Chen had never seen before in all these years.
"It's not that simple. It may seem like water without a source, but there's still a way out."
"The will of chaos belongs to both the Great Dao of Chaos and the Great Dao of Origin; it does not favor either side."
“Starfields are constantly being born in the chaos. Even if the nine Chaos Gods destroy all starfields, I can still draw power from those starfield seeds and give it back to this region.”
"While it may not become stronger, it will not wither and die either."
"Nothing in this world is absolute. If the nine Chaos Gods were to annihilate all the star fields in the Chaos Realm, the Chaos Will would definitely retaliate," Xu Chen comforted him.
“I know what you’re talking about. In these endless epochs, the Chaos Starfield has also supported several exceptionally talented geniuses, like me, who were born with nearly half of the power of the Great Dao.”
"But whenever I think things are getting better, the will of chaos always inadvertently leans towards the God of chaos."
“I don’t know why either. The Chaos Dao has clearly gained a considerable advantage, while the Origin Dao can only barely survive. Under such circumstances, the Chaos Will is still biased towards the Chaos God.” Wan Huan said, then sighed.
"The will of chaos can encompass gods, demons, and star field deities, so it shouldn't be biased. There must be a reason for this."
"Forget it, let's solve the immediate problem first."
Xu Chen swept his thoughts across the barrier, but was bounced back as soon as he made contact.
A barrier that even he could not break through enveloped the entire Chaos Starfield.
Upon realizing this, Xu Chen descended his divine sense upon the Sea of Myriad Paths and began to draw upon the chaotic power from those star fields by utilizing the long river of myriad paths that flowed into the Sea of Myriad Paths, thus nourishing the chaotic star fields.
The power initially absorbed was enough for this chaotic star field to develop.
However, as the nine Chaos Gods were destroyed on a large scale and devoured these star fields, Xu Chen was able to draw less and less power from them.
Billions of years later, Xu Chen could only draw a trace of power from some star field seeds, barely enough to keep the chaotic star field running.
However, it can only operate with difficulty and is not enough to support the cultivation of powerful beings above the Great Dao in the star field.
Meanwhile, it has become increasingly difficult for some of the powerful beings who have already reached the Great Dao to replenish their primordial energy.
But at this moment, Xu Chen inexplicably discovered that the seal surrounding the barrier was beginning to weaken.
This discovery led Xu Chen to immediately seek out Wan Huan.
"Does Senior Wanhuan know what lies beyond the seal?" Xu Chen asked.
“There were once many Chaos Gods in this chaotic realm. The chaotic territory at that time was hundreds or thousands of times larger than it is now, and there were tens of thousands of Chaos Gods who controlled the power of the Great Dao.”
"The authority of the Great Dao in the Chaos is finite. If you want to become stronger, you can only plunder other Chaos Gods, so the great war began."
"The war lasted for countless years, eventually resulting in two opposing forces."
"One of the forces unintentionally created a secret technique that can completely cut off a chaotic region from the entire chaos."
"Therefore, this force used this secret method to completely sever the other force and the Chaos God from the chaos."
"If nothing unexpected happens, outside the seal should be those chaotic regions that were cut off."
"These are what I obtained from the legacy of a Chaos God, but unfortunately, that legacy lacks the authority of the Great Dao." (End of Chapter)
