372: Chapter 372 Born "Holy"

In the vast and mysterious Chaos Universe, the uniquely shaped and mysterious xin-shen vessel moved like a streak of light, traveling through the turbulent Chaos.

Inside the vessel, Cao Yang sat upright in the main seat of the command area. He had a tall posture, deep and determined eyes, and was surrounded by several graceful women.

These women, some charming and others cold and ethereal, each had their own unique beauty. They were all quietly staying by Cao Yang's side, watching the ever-changing Chaos scenery outside the vessel.

The xin-shen vessel sped through the Chaos, its powerful propulsion System allowing it to move with ease.

In less than half an hour, the vessel's radar System emitted a faint prompt, indicating they were approaching the area where the Golden Crow Goddess at the Chaos Domain Lord Realm was located.

Cao Yang slightly narrowed his eyes, recalling the thrilling encounter with the Golden Crow Goddess not long ago.

Back then, their group was cautiously exploring for Opportunity in the Chaos, but they didn't expect his Divine Sense to inadvertently intrude into the Golden Crow Goddess's territory.

That Golden Crow Goddess was powerful and had sharp perception; she had detected his Divine Sense at the time.

But now, relying on the special means granted by the System, he had cleverly hidden the aura of himself, the women, and the xin-shen vessel.

No matter how powerful or special the Golden Crow Goddess was in the Chaos, she couldn't possibly discover them this time.

After that previous encounter, Cao Yang had specifically asked Hong Sipan about the Golden Crow Clan.

Hong Sipan explained that the Golden Crow Clan was an extremely special existence in the Chaos World, worthy of being called the darlings of Chaos.

They were born with powerful Bloodline Power and could control the power of Chaos fire. Their combat strength ranked among the best of the many races in the Chaos, and their status was second only to Chaos Spirits like Tian Qing.

However, the Chaos World was vast and full of wonders. Besides the Golden Crow Clan and Chaos Spirits, there was another type of Acquired powerhouse who possessed Chaos Fortune.

Such powerhouses often had unique Opportunity in the Chaos, and their strength was not to be underestimated; they were not necessarily inferior to the Golden Crow Clan.

To better deal with the upcoming situation, Cao Yang decided to first learn the detailed information about the Golden Crow Goddess.

He cleared his throat and said calmly to the air: "System, display the information about the Golden Crow Goddess."

As soon as his voice fell, a cute and delicate voice sounded inside the vessel: "Okay, Revered Master, it has been deployed."

Immediately after, a small System Loli, looking like an exquisite doll, appeared out of thin air in front of Cao Yang.

She blinked her large, lively eyes, looked at Cao Yang with a smile, and waved her small hand. A transparent panel emitting a pale blue light instantly appeared in front of Cao Yang.

The data and text on the panel flickered constantly, showing various information about the Golden Crow Goddess in detail.

Name: Jinwu Lanxin

Realm: High-level Chaos Domain Lord Realm

Physique: Chaos Jinwu Bloodline (Automatically upgrading...)

Age: 100 Chaos Years (One Chaos Year equals ten billion Universe Years of Calamity)

Beauty: Infinite

Charging: 0

Favorability: 60

Quest Reward: 2000 hongmeng sign-in counts

"This, System, are you mistaken? She hasn't even met me, how could she have Favorability towards me?"

Cao Yang was stunned when he saw the information on the System panel. Not only was the other party explosively excellent, but she actually had Favorability towards him.

"Replying to Revered Master, Xiao Tong is certain, there's no mistake. Revered Master will know the specific reason later."

The System Loli said without hesitation.

Although Cao Yang and the System Loli were having a normal conversation, the women around them didn't notice Cao Yang speaking at all.

In their eyes, Cao Yang was just looking thoughtfully at the front of the vessel, at the scenery in the Chaos.

This was the state before Cao Yang summoned the System, and it was also a small change after the System upgraded. No matter how Cao Yang communicated with the System, others wouldn't notice, and relative time seemed to have stopped, although it hadn't actually stopped; relative time was normal.

The reason it was called relative time was that there was no Great Dao of Time in the Chaos, and time here seemed to be related to the existence of the Chaos Golden Crow Clan.

"Hmm, alright!"

Since the System Loli said so, Cao Yang had no way to continue asking about this topic. He had tried before; although the System Loli had become more human-like, she wouldn't answer all his questions, which was why he asked many questions to Hong Sipan, this acquaintance of the Chaos.

"This Golden Crow Goddess is too powerful, she actually possesses a chaos level Physique, and this Physique is still upgrading. Does every member of the Golden Crow Clan possess such a powerful Physique?"

Cao Yang was truly shocked. Some people are born on the mountaintop, while others can't reach the summit in their entire lives, and might not even see the shadow of the mountain.

"Yes, Revered Master. The darlings of Chaos are born with a chaos level Physique, possessing the Aptitude to transcend Chaos." The System Loli's crisp and pleasant voice rang in Cao Yang's Sea of Consciousness. Her tone carried a professional and patient implication, as if she were giving Cao Yang a lesson on the mysteries of Chaos.

"You must know that in this vast and mysterious Chaos World, a chaos level Physique is like the brightest star in the night sky, incomparably dazzling. Those beings who possess this Physique seem to be endowed with a special mission and power by the Chaos from the moment they are born.

Every cell and every thread of their Soul contains the potential to transcend Chaos. They are like favored children of destiny, possessing advantages on the path of Cultivation that others can hardly reach."

"However, Revered Master doesn't need to envy them too much, because the greater the favor received from Chaos, the more one will have to pay in the future." The System Loli paused and continued to explain.

"Everything in this world follows a subtle balance. Chaos gave them powerful Aptitude, and it will inevitably demand a corresponding price at some moment in the future.

Take the Golden Crow Clan, for example; they are famous existences. The Golden Crow is a divine bird born in the depths of the Chaos, its body radiating incomparably scorching flames. Its flames contain the power of Chaos and can burn all falsehoods. However, even if they have transcended the Chaos and seem to have cast off the shackles of Chaos, in reality, the Chaos still has inextricable links with them.

The Chaos can borrow their power, but this borrowing is very limited. It's like scooping a small cup of water from the sea, which has no substantial impact on the sea itself, so it has no impact on the Golden Crow whose power is borrowed.

But this doesn't mean this borrowing can be ignored; it's like a thread hidden in the dark that might trigger a series of accidents at an unexpected critical moment."

"Hmm, you're right. There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world! Either you bear it, or someone else is footing the bill!" Cao Yang nodded slightly, a glimmer of thought flashing in his deep eyes.

In his mind, the arduous journey he had taken emerged. Every Breakthrough and every growth was accompanied by sweat and effort.

Although he had outsourced these hardships to the System, it wasn't easy for him either!

He knew deeply that in this world of survival of the fittest and full of competition, to obtain powerful strength, one must pay a corresponding price.

Perhaps those darlings of Chaos seem to have a high starting point, but the challenges and hardships they will face in the future will inevitably far exceed those of ordinary people.

"Revered Master is insightful!" The System Loli said with satisfaction, her voice full of praise.

In her view, the fact that Revered Master could understand the truth so quickly showed that he had Comprehension Ability and wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

"Revered Master, you have your own unique path. Although your background doesn't have the unique advantages of a chaos level Physique, you are constantly growing and improving through your own efforts and persistence. I believe that in the near future, you will definitely be able to carve out your own world in this Chaos World."

"Hmm, thinking about it carefully, that really makes sense." Cao Yang frowned slightly, nodded gently, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Then he changed the subject without a trace: "It's just that this Jinwu Lanxin's age is a bit old!"

This 100 Chaos Years cannot be simply measured by ordinary time concepts.

In this grand Universe System, 100 Chaos Years is equivalent to 100 Universe Years of Calamity of the Great Universe.

Every Great Universe Year of Calamity is a terrifying baptism experienced by the Great Universe. It is a terrible period when the laws of heaven and earth are in Chaos, stars burst, and space-time is twisted. Countless Chaos energy storms rage, as if to tear the entire Great Universe into pieces.

In such a long time, the Small Universe is like a fragile bubble, and it is unknown how many have already been annihilated.

The brilliant civilizations and strange creatures that originally existed in those Small Universes have all turned into nothingness in these repeated Years of Calamity, leaving only endless Void Realm and occasionally flickering fragments, telling of past glory and passing.

"Revered Master, don't you like older ones?" The System Loli grinned mischievously, looking like a little elf who had discovered an interesting secret.

Then she began to explain: "And although she is not young, she has never been in contact with the opposite sex. Moreover, for the darlings of Chaos, an age of 100 Chaos Years is just the girl stage!

It's like in our human world, it's just a young girl in the prime of her youth. The life journey of the darlings of Chaos is not the same as ours. They are born in the depths of the Chaos, absorbing the purest and most powerful power in the Chaos, so the rhythm of growth is naturally vastly different from ordinary creatures.

In their long life trajectory, these 100 Chaos Years are just a small prelude to the beginning of life's chapter."

"Cough, cough." Cao Yang was made a little embarrassed by the System Loli's words and coughed lightly, trying to hide the slight blush on his face.

Then he pretended to be calm and said: "Although what you said sounds like nonsense, I thought about it carefully, and it really makes some sense."

He was also secretly thinking in his heart that this darling of Chaos was indeed extraordinary. If he could truly befriend this Jinwu Lanxin, perhaps there would be some unexpected Opportunity.

"Revered Master, please note, there are ten seconds left until arrival."

In this quiet and slightly tense atmosphere, Xiao Xin's mechanical and cold prompt sounded, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking a little tranquility.

This sound echoed in the narrow space of the vessel, and every syllable hit Cao Yang's heart heavily.

In fact, even if Xiao Xin didn't remind him, Cao Yang knew very well how far he was from Jinwu Lanxin.

His perception was like an invisible and dense net, which had already enveloped everything around him.

He counted silently in his heart, in another nine seconds, Jinwu Lanxin would enter the range of his magical Invincible Domain.

In this range, once entered, he could conduct deep insight and complete control over everything of the target.

At this time, Jinwu Lanxin was still the same as when they first met three years ago.

She sat in the Chaos, like an ancient stone tablet fixed in the Void Realm.

The Chaos space was a mysterious and unknown Realm, filled with rich Chaos Qi, like thick ink, rolling and surging.

Jinwu Lanxin sat quietly in it, surrounded by Chaos Qi. Her body was like a huge vortex, constantly absorbing the Chaos Qi in the Chaos.

The Chaos Qi was like small snakes, gathering from all directions and drilling into her body, as if she were the only Dominator in this Chaos World, greedily absorbing the most primitive and powerful power between heaven and earth.

And regarding the situation of Cao Yang and others sitting on the vessel slowly approaching, Jinwu Lanxin did not notice at all.

She was immersed in her Cultivation state of absorbing Chaos Qi, as if isolated from the outside world.

Her mind was completely immersed in that powerful and mysterious power, and she seemed to have lost all perception of the outside world.

Her breathing was steady and deep, and every breath seemed to affect the flow of the surrounding Chaos Qi, forming small air vortices.

"It's time!" Cao Yang looked at Jinwu Lanxin, who was still immersed in Cultivation, and muttered to himself.

His voice was very light, but full of firmness and determination.

With a thought, a powerful and mysterious aura radiated from his body.

This aura was like a surging tide, instantly sweeping towards Jinwu Lanxin.

Under the shroud of this aura, Jinwu Lanxin was like being cast with a immobilization spell, imprisoned in place.

She didn't even have time to open her eyes, and a trace of surprise and panic appeared on her originally calm face.

But for a powerhouse like Jinwu Lanxin, whether she had eyes or not, she could actually "see".

Although she couldn't open her eyes, her perception was like countless sharp tentacles, having already probed everything around her clearly.

She could feel a powerful force binding her, making her unable to move a single bit, and a strong sense of crisis couldn't help but well up in her heart.

The vessel stopped slowly in the Chaos space.

Because the vessel stopped, the women who had gone to other parts of the vessel to watch the Chaos scenery also came to Cao Yang's side one after another, thinking that they had reached their destination.

"Revered Master, I'm going out for a while. The Chaos Qi outside is relatively violent. Don't come out yet, stay in the vessel for a while, I'll be back soon."

Cao Yang said to Ouyang Liuli beside him.

"Okay, Cao Lang, go ahead! I'll tell the other sisters."

Ouyang Liuli smiled slightly and nodded in response.

Seeing this, Cao Yang disappeared into the vessel instantly.

Cao Yang was right; the Chaos Qi here was very violent. Most of his women were at the Peak of the Source Emperor Realm and could hardly withstand this intensity of Chaos Qi, which could easily damage their Foundation.

The next moment, Cao Yang appeared in front of Jinwu Lanxin.

The beauty's golden eyebrows trembled slightly, very beautiful!

"Fellow Daoist Lan Xin, I was rude just now!"

As soon as Cao Yang finished speaking, he released the slight imprisonment on Jinwu Lanxin and sat cross-legged opposite her.

Jinwu Lanxin slowly opened her golden eyes. Cao Yang could see golden flames burning in the other's eyes. This might be the innate Divine Ability of the Golden Crow Clan, which required the eyes to be used.

"Fellow Daoist is also at the Chaos Domain Lord Realm, there is no gap with me. How did you manage to instantly imprison me?"

Jinwu Lanxin looked at Cao Yang calmly for a few breaths before slowly opening her small mouth to speak.

"Oh? You don't seem to be worried about your situation at all. You should know that you are my prisoner now."

Cao Yang thought to himself, is the Golden Crow Clan really so powerful and fearless?
