God-Tier Choice: Starting from Chaos

Zhou Jun, who had grown accustomed to spiritual roots and treasures flying to his feet every day without moving, couldn't help but sigh after his Heavenly Fortune ended and he continued wandering the Chaos for another ten years, finding nothing.

"Right, after all, the Chaos is vast, and there are only so many treasures. Most Demon Gods might not encounter any treasures in a thousand years—that's the norm!"

Zhou Jun knew that continuing to roam the Chaos was just a waste of time. Without the title, he was just like any other Demon God, lacking any luck boost. Finding spiritual roots or treasures was like fishing for a needle in the sea.

"Forget it. In the past thousand years, I've harvested over a thousand innate spiritual roots and treasures. Even if you count all the treasures on Hongjun's Treasure Distribution Cliff in the later Primordial Era, it wouldn't match mine!"

Looking at the thousand-plus spiritual roots and treasures shimmering like stars in the Chaos Bead, Zhou Jun felt delighted.

"This journey ends here. I'll find a place to go into seclusion, refine those innate spiritual treasures, and continue cultivating! Improving my strength is the real priority!"

Zhou Jun quickly made up his mind, but things didn't go as planned.

Just as he was about to find a quiet spot to cultivate, trouble came knocking.

"Boom!"

Chaos Energy Waves surged, accompanied by fluctuations in Mana, revealing a terrifying momentum.

Not far ahead, a golden light flickered faintly—clearly a Spiritual Being gestating, seemingly on the verge of birth.

Beside the spiritual being, two Chaos Demon Gods were locked in a standoff, warily eyeing each other while hurling insults:

"Greed Demon God, you're shameless! I clearly found this treasure first, and you come to snatch it? Where's your sense of reason?"

"Hmph, Chaos Demon Ant, you're one of the Three Thousand Demon Gods. Don't you know that among us, might makes right? The weak are prey to the strong—you're weaker than me, and that's your Original Sin!"

"Damn it! You're just a Late Quasi-Saint like me, yet you dare to look down on me?"

The Three Thousand Demon Gods were all proud beings. The Chaos Demon Ant, as a high-level Demon God who had taken form with Quasi-Saint cultivation, was no exception. How could he tolerate being belittled like this?

Being called weak, treated as prey—how could he swallow that anger?

Without another word, the two immediately came to blows!

The Chaos Demon Ant and the Greed Demon God instantly reverted to their true forms, grappling with each other.

One was a white ant with three heads; the other was a pig-like creature with black wings, no head, and a bloated body.

Both stood hundreds of feet tall, and every move they made stirred up chaotic currents, a spectacle so grand it was breathtaking. If such a battle had taken place in the later Primordial Era, it would have been an awe-inspiring sight.

But in the Chaos? Just another insignificant scuffle.

If Zhou Jun hadn't been so close and witnessed it, no one would have known.

After all, such things happened everywhere in the Chaos.

"Ding! A battle has been detected ahead. Please choose:

1. Silently leave and pretend nothing happened. Reward: One Houtian Artifact.

2. Step forward to stop them and reconcile the two Demon Gods. Reward: One Good Person Card, doubling both Demon Gods' favorability toward you.

3. Kill both Demon Gods and seize the gestating treasure. Reward: Top Innate Spiritual Root—Yellow Middle Plum!"

Yellow Middle Plum!

Hearing the reward for the third option, even Zhou Jun couldn't help but feel tempted!

That was the number one of the Ten Great Top Innate Spiritual Roots!

In the later Primordial Era, the other great spiritual roots—the Gourd Vine split into seven, each becoming an Innate Spiritual Treasure; the Bitter Bamboo became Saint Jieyin's enlightenment artifact; the Ginseng Fruit Tree gave birth to a top-tier powerhouse like Zhen Yuanzi!

Even the weakest of the ten, the Peaches of Immortality Tree—the nine-thousand-year peach tree grown from its pit—could allow mortals to ascend to immortality after eating its fruit.

The effects of the top-ranked Yellow Middle Plum were unimaginable!

Legend said this tree bloomed once per kalpa, bore fruit once per kalpa, ripened once per kalpa, and was edible only once per kalpa. An ordinary person lucky enough to eat one fruit could instantly become a Daluo Golden Immortal!

Even if it wasn't much use to Zhou Jun now—eating one would only add ten thousand years of Dao cultivation—but don't forget, what was Zhou Jun's cultivation level?

Zhou Jun was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, equivalent to a Saint in the Primordial Era!

Even a Saint could gain ten thousand years of Dao cultivation from it—the treasure's value spoke for itself!

"System, I choose the third option!"

Zhou Jun made his decision instantly and flew swiftly toward the front.

How could he let go of a treasure like the Yellow Middle Plum? Even if it wasn't very useful to him now, what about his future disciples and descendants? It would come in handy then.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At Zhou Jun's speed, in the blink of an eye, he was before the battling Chaos Demon Ant and Greed Demon God.

"Bastard! What ant dares to meddle in our affairs? Get lost!"

"Leave now if you don't want to die, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhou Jun's sudden appearance was immediately noticed by the Chaos Demon Ant and the Greed Demon God.

As Late Quasi-Saint powerhouses, the Chaos Demon Ant and the Greed Demon God ranked fairly high among the current Three Thousand Demon Gods. The only ones they remembered were the few dozen top Demon Gods at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin level.

But Zhou Jun kept a low profile—no one in the Chaos had ever heard of his name, so he naturally wasn't among those few dozen untouchable top-tier Demon Gods.

Since he wasn't one of the ones they remembered as invincible, he was just a weaker ant.
