45: Brainstorm

“Niu Mowang, why do you look like this?!”

Seeing that he was not in a good state, everyone looked at him with strange expressions and asked in unison.

The Bull Demon King suddenly came back to his senses, glanced at everyone, then waved his hand, and said with a bitter, helpless smile, “It’s a long story!”

“What’s going on? Did Saint Nuwa not leave anything behind?”

Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

“Or is it that something happened to Mrs. Niu?”

Shi Jingmo looked worried.

Tang Ku stopped them: “Don’t ask yet, let Niu Mowang speak for himself!”

The few of them looked at the Bull Demon King with questioning gazes.

The old bull fell into a daze, and after a moment, he sighed helplessly: “Saint Nuwa did leave a message and a backup plan, but…”

The old bull glanced at the Brick, who was licking its paw like a cat, and then looked at everyone, “But the message wasn’t passed on to me…”

Saying that, the Bull Demon King calmly described the incredible events he had experienced, all the while looking at the Brick with a strange expression.

At that time, the old bull took the Brick into Nuwa Palace, and just like the residences of other Saints, it was empty, without a trace of living Qi.

And when the projection of Saint Nuwa appeared, the Bull Demon King knew that this trip would surely yield something. Saint Nuwa said that the Yao Race actually had a very important role to play in this calamity, and many things could only be done by the Yao Race. She also told him that there was much more information that needed to be conveyed to the most promising Disciple among the Yao Race.

Then… Saint Nuwa’s projection instantly disappeared, transforming into a stream of light that drilled into the Brick’s head.

“At that time, this fellow was in a daze for a full half an hour, and it took a long time for it to finally return to normal. I originally wanted to ask it what exactly it knew, but… but the only answer I got was two phrases, ‘spare me’ and ‘I only know two phrases’…” the Bull Demon King said with a depressed expression.

Nezha was stunned for a long time, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “I never thought that the usually shrewd Bull Demon King would have a day when he was fooled, hahahaha…”

The old bull wanted to retort, but he looked back at the Brick, who was using its hind leg to scratch an itch like a dog, and then lowered his head dejectedly.

Tang Ku’s mouth twitched: “So, it seems that the most promising Genius of the Yao Race right now is this fellow?”

Whoosh!

Everyone’s gazes focused on the Brick. This “Divine Beast” had extremely high spiritual perception, and it suddenly shivered. It turned to look at the several menacing Immortals, its eyes darted around, and then it suddenly knelt on its hind legs and prostrated itself, saying, “Spare me!”

Everyone collapsed in unison!

“Alright, before this fellow fully awakens its intelligence, we can forget about knowing Saint Nuwa’s information!”

Tang Ku lightly coughed, bringing everyone’s attention back to him, saying, “Hmm, let me first talk about the information I obtained, this is actually very important! Hmm, from Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, I learned that the attribute of their power is a power called Chaos Power!”

“Chaos Power?”

Yang Jian couldn’t help but be greatly surprised, “I know about this!”

Everyone looked at him.

“Cough cough… Hmm, how should I put it, I once heard about the existence of this power when I listened to Primal Celestial Lord preach the Dao. According to Tianzun, it is the most primitive and purest power in the Universe since ancient times, a power that transcends all living beings, and even Saints!” Yang Jian said helplessly, “That’s all I know!”

Tang Ku nodded: “Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord also said the same… Hmm, besides being the most primitive and purest, this power is also the most Origin power. All energy and matter in the world will ultimately transform into Chaos. In other words, all power and matter are born from this Chaos Power. And the reason why this power can obliterate all living beings, even sparing no Saints, is fundamentally because this power wants to assimilate all living beings and energy back into the Origin!”

Everyone looked at Tang Ku in shock, but then heard Tang Ku continue: “This power is uncontrollable, undefendable, and unusable. Even Saints cannot master this power! Moreover, you only know about the existence of Saints, so do you know what the standard for becoming a Saint is?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Tang Ku extended a finger: “Because the standard for becoming a Saint is to break free from the control of Chaos Power over beings in the Universe, to become a being of another Realm, only then can one be immortal and indestructible… From the Quasi-Sage Realm to a Saint is a watershed. Only by completely breaking free from the control of Chaos Power can one become a true Saint!”

“But, you also said that even Saints cannot control this power…” Yang Jian said with an incredulous expression, “So, that Master’s power… is stronger than a Saint?”

The atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy, and an emotion called despair seemed to have begun to brew.

Individual strength stronger than a Saint, capable of controlling super-strong individuals from various Universes to fight, and even having many Saint-level powers under his command.

With just their current small numbers, how could they fight this?

“I think we can pack our bags and go our separate ways now!” Nezha couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “I finally understand why Marshal Tianpeng always wanted to retreat on the Journey to the West!”

“Don’t be so pessimistic!”

Tang Ku, however, suddenly clasped his hands together and spoke these words with a lion’s roar.

Everyone’s spirits lifted upon hearing this, but then they heard Tang Ku continue: “It’s still debatable whether the opponent’s ‘Master’ truly has Saint-level or even transcendent Saint power. And as for controlling Chaos Power, perhaps he doesn’t rely on his own strength. If you think about it carefully, many methods can be used, such as some technological means… or some opportunistic methods.”

The Bull Demon King’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said: “That’s right, Chaos Power… If I had to describe it, it’s actually a kind of Universal rule. Saints break free from the control of Universal rules, and Chaos wants to bring them back under control. But we have never heard of the existence of Chaos Power in this world, so in other words…”

“In other words, Chaos Power is actually isolated from this Universe by another power, and as long as a way is found to let it in, it will launch an indiscriminate, large-scale pursuit of those beings that might affect the rules. To achieve this, one doesn’t necessarily need to be strong enough; merely having the power to break the isolation and guide the Chaos Power is sufficient…”

Yang Jian took over the conversation, saying, “But even so, the opponent is still not to be underestimated. Being able to guide Chaos Power, it seems even ordinary Saints can’t do that!”

Shi Jingmo, however, said calmly: “I can tell you this point: although I haven’t met the Master himself, I have met one or two of those Saint-level powerhouses. Their power is so immense it makes one’s heart palpitate, yet they are all wholeheartedly willing to submit. Perhaps his strength is truly immense, enough to control Saints, or perhaps his personal charisma is extremely strong, or there is some entanglement of interests with the Saints… Regardless of the method, it is enough to prove his power!”

“So, we only have one path to take now…”

Tang Ku suddenly narrowed his eyes, already having some calculations in his mind.
