Heard that the Three Thousand Demonic Gods are gathering, is the chaos about to be disrupted?

After the spar ended, Lin Yue didn't immediately return to the cave. Instead, he continued to explore the vicinity of the rock valley. He wanted to take this opportunity to familiarize himself more with the surrounding environment and hoped to find more resources to aid his cultivation.

One day, as he was passing through a stone forest, he suddenly heard a faint whimpering sound ahead. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a low-level Chaos creature resembling a small deer. Its hind legs were pinned by a large rock, and blood stained the ground around it, indicating it was in great pain.

Lin Yue's heart stirred, and he stepped forward, channeling his Chaos energy to move the boulder. After the little deer creature was freed, it looked at him gratefully and transmitted a message using the unique mental power of Chaos creatures: "Thank you, human."

"How did you get trapped under the rock?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

The little deer creature's mental transmission carried a hint of fear: "It... it was those powerful beings fighting. The aftershocks threw me here and trapped me under the rock."

"Powerful beings?" Lin Yue frowned. "Are they Chaos Fierce Beasts?"

"No," the little deer creature shook its head. "Much more terrifying than fierce beasts. They call themselves... Demon Gods."

"Demon Gods?" Lin Yue's heart tightened. He had heard Pangu mention before that Demon Gods were among the most powerful beings in Chaos, each possessing world-destroying power.

"Why are they fighting?" Lin Yue pressed.

The little deer creature's mental transmission was filled with deep unease: "I heard other creatures say that the Three Thousand Demon Gods are about to gather at the center of Chaos. It seems they are competing for some Chaos Core. Many Demon Gods are now killing each other, fighting for territory and resources. The entire Chaos has descended into chaos, and we low-level creatures are all looking for places to hide."

"The Three Thousand Demon Gods gathering? Competing for the Chaos Core?" Lin Yue's heart trembled violently. Although he didn't know what the Chaos Core was, its name alone suggested it was no simple matter. And the gathering of three thousand Demon Gods... the thought alone was terrifying – it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe that swept across the entire Chaos.

He comforted the little deer creature with a few words and gave it some Chaos energy blocks to heal its wounds before hurrying back to the cave. This news was too important; he had to tell Pangu immediately.

Back in the cave, Lin Yue recounted everything he had heard from the little deer creature to Pangu, his face showing undisguised worry: "Senior, the gathering of the Three Thousand Demon Gods, will it be very dangerous? Should we move to a safer place?"

Pangu slowly opened his eyes. There was not the slightest ripple in his deep gaze, as if he already knew of this matter. He said calmly, "No need to worry. Stay by my side, and you will be fine."

Although Pangu's tone was calm, Lin Yue was still somewhat uneasy: "But... those are Demon Gods. I heard they are very powerful."

"No matter how powerful, there are rules," Pangu's voice remained indifferent. "The gathering at the center of Chaos is a game between Demon Gods. They don't dare to provoke me here."

Lin Yue looked at Pangu's confident demeanor, and his worries eased slightly. He knew that Senior Pangu's strength was unfathomable, and perhaps he truly had the ability to protect him.

However, he still noticed that after Pangu finished speaking, his fingertips moved slightly, and an invisible energy spread out, enveloping the entire cave. Lin Yue could feel that the concealment formation at the cave entrance seemed to have been strengthened, and a faint defensive barrier had been added around it, emanating a heart-palpitating aura.

"This barrier can withstand attacks below the level of high-level Demon Gods," Pangu said calmly, as if seeing through his thoughts.

Lin Yue felt reassured. With this barrier, he at least didn't have to worry about harassment from low-level Demon Gods or fierce beasts.

"Then what do we do next?" Lin Yue asked. "Do we just stay here?"

"Cultivate with peace of mind," Pangu said. "No matter how chaotic things are outside, improving your own strength is fundamental. Once your strength reaches a certain level, you can withstand any storm."

Lin Yue nodded. He understood Pangu's meaning. In this Chaos, strength was the greatest guarantee. Rather than worrying about the external conflicts, it was better to use this time to cultivate diligently and improve his own power.

"I understand, Senior," Lin Yue replied respectfully.

In the days that followed, the Chaos currents around the cave seemed to become increasingly restless. Occasionally, booming sounds could be heard from afar, clearly indicating the struggle of powerful beings. But the cave remained tranquil, protected by Pangu's formations and barrier, like a paradise outside the world.

Lin Yue poured all his energy into his cultivation. The external turmoil only strengthened his resolve to become stronger. He knew that only by quickly improving his strength could he establish himself in this chaotic world and live up to Senior Pangu's protection.

His cultivation was steadily improving, getting closer and closer to the late stage of High-level Chaos. His use of the Chaos Little Light Orb also became more proficient, even capable of condensing orbs imbued with a faint aura of laws, their power several times stronger than before.

Only occasionally, when he heard the violent roars from afar, Lin Yue couldn't help but glance outside the cave, sighing inwardly: "This Chaos... it seems it's truly going to be in turmoil."
