"Female Demon Gods really are troublesome!"
Seeing that his explanations were getting nowhere, Shi Chen helplessly unleashed the Great Dao of Time.
"Fellow Daoist Creation, we are both Limitless Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. If you truly wish to fight, then I shall accompany you in battle!"
"But the Life Demon God turning into an egg has absolutely nothing to do with me. Yet you persist in accusing and slandering me. Today, I fear you will not be leaving the imprisonment of the Great Dao of Time!"
The Creation Demon God smiled disdainfully and took out the giant egg that had been reforged from the Life Demon God. "See for yourself. Does the aura upon it contain the laws of time?"
Shi Chen: "..."
"Th-this-this... You are slandering me!"
"Time laws may exist upon it, but how can you conclude that they belong to me?"
Shi Chen panicked. What the hell was going on? Could there be a second Demon God in Chaos who controlled the laws of time?
Seeing Shi Chen frantically jumping up to explain himself, the Creation Demon God covered her face and said, "Nothing to say now, do you?"
Shi Chen: "What the fuck is there left for me to say?!"
Seeing this, Creation put away the Life Giant Egg, then once more held a sharp, long blade in her right hand. Her valiant bearing made Shi Chen take a slight step back.
"Are you serious about this?"
Shi Chen asked. He had not expected the Creation Demon God to actually manifest her true form. Normally, she was always shrouded in hazy purple mist and never showed her true face.
The power of creation contained endless vitality. Every strike would subject its target to boundless torment, severing the vitality of creation within their body. It was even more terrifying than the loss of life force.
Once, a Chaos Demon God had provoked the Creation Demon God and was directly dismembered by her. Every trace of Great Dao aura in his entire body was erased.
The Great Dao of Creation governed endless opportunities and fortunes. The existence of any living being was inevitably accompanied by opportunities. So long as one remained alive, the Great Dao one wielded was itself a manifestation of opportunity. The Great Dao of Creation could use the power of creation to strip away all the vitality of creation within an opponent, leaving behind only an empty shell, because everything one possessed was a blessing bestowed by the Great Dao.
Legend had it that only the Fate Demon God could restrain the Creation Demon God, because they shared a common power: both could control another's entire life.
Had Shi Chen not controlled laws that defied the heavens as well, he would likely have had to lower his head before the Creation Demon God.
For time was also one of the Great Daos that no one could comprehend.
Did Chaos have time? What made you say it did? Could it be that I defined it?
The two clashed in battle, their sparks spreading into a prairie fire and plunging all of Chaos into an endless storm.
The Chaos astral winds howled fiercely, as though an era of raging war had arrived.
"Time Reversal!"
Shi Chen roared and directly unleashed it upon the Creation Demon God, causing the cultivation power she had amassed over countless hundreds of millions of years to begin vanishing like bubbles. The immense aura around her abruptly plummeted, and even her realm regressed somewhat.
"Creation Without Equal!"
"Creation is boundless, opportunity unmatched!"
With a casual gesture, she unleashed a terrifying divine radiance that enveloped her body. Golden light shone above her head, as though she were a child of the Great Dao chosen by the Great Dao itself, and the power of creation surged forth.
"What is creation?"
"Because I am the very embodiment of all uncertain factors. I can summon the opportunities of Chaos at any time!"
As she spoke, a pure Great Dao aura descended from above and enveloped her.
"Supreme Opportunity, Dao Evasion!"
As the Creation Demon God unleashed her divine ability, a power surpassing the Three Thousand Great Daos began to manifest behind her. It was the protection of the Chaos Great Dao, a divine ability capable of cutting off all harm from laws.
"What?" Shi Chen was shocked. She could directly receive a Great Dao opportunity as a reward.
This was not luck. This was a method of the laws of the Great Dao of Creation. Infinite opportunities were under her control.
All uncertain factors descended upon her.
"Creation makes fools of men; Fate is full of twists and turns!"
"As expected of the most strange and unfathomable laws in Chaos. Opportunities are things others can only encounter by chance and never seek, yet Fellow Daoist Creation can have them whenever she wishes. Truly, it makes us envious!"
"All living beings in Chaos know that I was the first among the Demon Gods to be born, but in terms of strength, you, Creation and Fate, are absolutely not beneath me!"
Shi Chen spoke. He had never underestimated any top-tier Demon God, especially Demon Gods such as Yang Mei, Creation, Fate, and Reincarnation, who never walked within Chaos.
The rankings of the Three Thousand Demon Gods had always been contested. Some Demon Gods believed they could rank among the top fifty, while others thought they could enter the top thirty.
And some Demon Gods believed that merely taking form early qualified them for a ranking.
Yet they did not understand that in Chaos, where strength reigned supreme and the strong were honored, even Shi Chen himself was somewhat powerless.
The Creation Demon God said nothing in response to Shi Chen's praise. At this moment, she only needed to suppress Shi Chen and settle a debt on behalf of the Life Demon God.
After all, the Life Demon God had suffered this calamity while protecting her Dao.
Shi Chen unleashed every law he possessed and attacked the Creation Demon God, but she used Dao Evasion to completely block them all.
She even wielded her sharp blade and battered Shi Chen into a miserable state. Purple-gold blood was already flowing from his arm; clearly, he had been wounded by the Creation Demon God.
Neither of them had used their innate spirit treasures. The sharp blade in the Creation Demon God's hand was merely an opportunity spirit treasure she had casually summoned from Chaos.
After all, she controlled all opportunities. So long as she needed them, she would never lack spirit roots or spirit treasures.
She could wander through Chaos and find a Creation Cauldron every three steps, a Dao-Fusion Flower every five.
The Great Dao of Creation and the Great Dao of Fate were the most ethereal Great Daos. Among all of Chaos, many Chaos Demon Gods were unwilling to make enemies of these two, for their understanding of the Dao was too profound. They could even use opportunities of creation and Fate's schemes to trap and kill Demon Gods.
It was said that the Fate Demon God had once altered a Chaos Demon God's fate timeline. A minor Demon God who was originally destined for a peaceful life was swept into a Chaos storm the next day, his flesh torn apart by astral winds, leaving only his Primordial Spirit to escape.
The Creation Demon God was even stranger. Legend had it that she could sever a person's vitality of creation, causing them to fail throughout their cultivation life. It was bad enough that they would receive no opportunities at all; their vitality would also continuously drain away each day. This had indirectly caused one Demon God to die in despondency and return to the Great Dao.
Fate was fixed, while creation was unfixed. Both were like envoys pointing directly toward the Great Dao, their actions mysterious and unfathomable.
After an unknown amount of time, the Creation Demon God brought a strand of the Time Demon God's hair to the Fate Demon God's Dao field.
Having his hair cut could be considered a great loss of face for the Time Demon God, but there was no helping it. The two had remained deadlocked, and in the end, Shi Chen shaved his head to make his resolve known, all so that he could cultivate in peace.
Perhaps before long, a story would spread through Chaos: the Time Demon God had fallen a notch below the Creation Demon God.
As for why she had come to the Fate Demon God, the Creation Demon God only wished to verify one matter.
Shi Chen adamantly refused to admit that he had attacked the Life Demon God. Even in the end, he shaved his head to show his resolve and make his stance clear. The Creation Demon God had begun to suspect that there might perhaps be other beings in Chaos who controlled time and space.
"One top-grade spirit treasure, and I will make the deduction!"
The Fate Demon God went straight to the point.
The Creation Demon God casually tossed out an ancient little bell. Her spirit treasures were as numerous as the hairs of an ox. So long as she wished it, every Chaos Demon God's spirit treasure opportunities could become hers. Aside from what one was born with upon taking form, everything that existed in Chaos was related to the laws of the Great Dao of Creation.
"Mountain Spirit Cloud Tower!"
"Not bad. All of Chaos knows that you, Creation Demon God, are a wealthy woman. It seems the rumors are true—you spend lavishly!"
"As opposing laws, there is actually something in Chaos that even you, Creation Demon God, cannot deduce. It certainly is not simple!"
The Fate Demon God smiled. Her entire body was concealed beneath a layer of white mist. Like the Creation Demon God, she seemed never to show herself to others.
"I have deduced it before. It is not within the Three Thousand Great Daos."
The Creation Demon God spoke coldly.
"Haha, interesting!"
"If anyone else had said that, I definitely would not make the deduction. But since you have come, I will try it for you no matter what!"
"Is there truly a living being in Chaos that I cannot deduce?"
