The Chaos Library was about to open. Not only did the demon gods of Chaos City know about it, but even powerful deities from distant realms were aware, and they were all in an uproar.
"This is an opportunity."
A mighty god was filled with excitement. "To witness the supernatural arts and spells created by the Lord of Chaos City is an adventure no amount of treasure can buy. To even have the chance to learn them—this is priceless!"
After witnessing the overwhelming power of the Chaos City Lord's attack, many gods felt an immense sense of crisis. In comparison to the true supreme beings, their own strength was insignificant.
If that was the case, then it was only natural for the weak to learn from the strong.
"How can the weak obtain strength if they do not seize it?!"
"Let's go! We must head to Chaos City immediately. It's hard to believe that within the Chaos Library, there exist scriptures containing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao. How can we not seize such a rare opportunity?" A demon god clenched his fists in excitement.
After stepping into the Saint realm, he realized how difficult it was to master a Dao. Every step forward took hundreds of millions of epochs, and success was never guaranteed.
Sometimes, no matter how much time was spent, one's strength remained stagnant, as if trapped in an unbreakable bottleneck.
Why?!
Because there was no path ahead! Every step had to be carved out by oneself.
And in such a situation, how could one be certain which path was correct? Most paths led to dead ends, with only one being the true way forward. Countless epochs could be wasted without any gain.
At this moment, they deeply understood the greatness of the Chaos City Lord. When all other demon gods were lost in their cultivation, he had forcibly paved a path forward.
If it were them, it would have been impossible. This was why he was the strongest magician in all of chaos.
"What kind of mind does the Chaos City Lord possess? He willingly shares his supernatural arts, spells, and even the great scriptures of the Great Dao instead of hoarding them for himself."
A demon god couldn't help but sigh in admiration for Gu Chuan, the Lord of Chaos City.
After all, when demon gods comprehend supernatural arts or develop their own cultivation methods, they guard them closely, fearing that others will learn their secrets and exploit their weaknesses.
But the Chaos City Lord was different. He openly shared his magical arts and spells, allowing countless demon gods the chance to learn them. He did not fear that others would surpass him, nor did he care about keeping his powers hidden.
Such a mindset, such boldness, was simply unprecedented.
Of course, these supernatural arts were not freely given. A price had to be paid.
However, in the past, even if one was willing to pay any price, no demon god would have taught such powerful techniques, for they were considered the greatest of secrets.
"Perhaps this is the confidence of the strongest being in chaos. Even if his cultivation methods, supernatural arts, and spells are made public, other demon gods would still find it difficult to catch up to him. He does not need to concern himself with them at all."
Many demon gods were filled with admiration.
"In any case, this is a monumental opportunity, no less than the three sermons delivered by the Lord of Chaos City. We cannot afford to miss it, or we will regret it for the rest of our lives."
A demon god spoke in a deep voice.
For this was the Age of Gods, where every deity was advancing at an unimaginable pace. If others improved while one remained stagnant, they would be left behind—beaten, forgotten, and surpassed.
In this era, competition was determined solely by strength.
—Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!—
In an instant, mighty gods such as the Lord of Light, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of the Furnace departed from their divine cities and kingdoms, all heading toward Chaos City.
As for the demon gods who were already in Chaos City, they had the advantage of proximity. Upon receiving the news, they rushed toward the Chaos Library without hesitation.
At that moment, the Moth Demon, the Octopus Demon, and the Dark Spider Demon, acting as librarians, welcomed the incoming demon gods.
Upon entering, the demon gods were in awe. The Chaos Library was vast and boundless, seemingly containing three thousand worlds within it.
Each world carried a complete and independent Dao law, its profundity beyond comprehension.
Moreover, the Chaos Library itself had been condensed into a single entity, forming an independent universe. Once inside, no demon god could escape easily.
"There are only ten entrances and exits," one murmured.
"I wonder how we are supposed to exchange supernatural powers here?" another asked curiously.
"It's simple. Here is the catalog of supernatural powers. Currently, there are a total of 129,600 volumes."
The Dark Spider Demon explained, "You may browse the catalog and read brief descriptions of each supernatural power. Then, you must offer an item of equal value in exchange."
With a wave of one of its spider legs, countless silk threads formed a massive catalog in the air. Like a vast screen, it displayed densely packed chaotic runes and demon god script.
"But how do we determine equal value?"
This was a concern for many demon gods. Chaos contained countless treasures and supernatural arts, each with its own unique worth. How could they measure the value of one against another?
"It's very simple."
With a resounding boom, the Octopus Demon waved a tentacle and revealed a treasure.
It emitted a golden radiance, appearing as a magnificent balance scale. It stood proudly in the center of the Chaos Library's grand hall.
"This is the Chaos Magic Treasure refined by the Chaos City Lord—the Golden Balance. It embodies the primordial principles of the Dao of Equality.
Simply place your treasure or supernatural power onto one side of the scale. If the supernatural power you wish to exchange for holds equal value, the balance will remain level, and the trade will be approved."
The Octopus Demon's voice was calm and composed.
"I see!"
Many demon gods suddenly understood. They were once again awed by the ingenuity of the Chaos City Lord. To refine such a profound treasure—this was beyond belief.
With this, they no longer had to worry about whether the value of their offerings was fair. The Golden Balance had solved this immense problem with ease.
"However—"
The Moth Demon's gaze turned cold.
"There is one unbreakable rule in the Chaos Library: once you exchange for a supernatural power, you must never pass it on to another demon god.
These supernatural arts belong solely to the Chaos Library. If any demon god is found possessing an exchanged power without proper registration, they will be deemed enemies of Chaos City."
His voice turned frigid.
"And they will be killed—without mercy."
