The Newborn Chaos

Lei Dong began sorting out his thoughts. If he wanted to rapidly increase his side's strength, he had to start with the Chaos Soul Devouring Pagoda. Take the Devil Emperor's method of refining Soul Pills, for example. It was ingenious, but it was something he had developed on his own, not a true continuation of Lord Nether King's design.

That was undoubtedly necessary, but it would take a long time—and wouldn't bring Lei Dong significant gains in the short term.

By contrast, Lord Nether King's original design system, though vast and profound, had been all but completed before his death. The only thing missing was a Chaos Origin. As it happened, the Devil Emperor had solved that problem.

When Lei Dong's divine sense entered the pagoda, the wondrous sense of space within left him awestruck.

The Chaos Pagoda's interior now seemed both real and illusory, and
