Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, in the Central Dojo of Chaos City.
Thirty million Gods had been summoned to this place. A dense crowd of Gods appeared, each radiating immense power, exuding the aura of distorted chaos and void.
Yet, none of them dared to act recklessly. They all held their breath, for this was the territory of the Chaos City Lord.
Some young Gods looked around curiously; it was their first time entering the Central Dojo of Chaos City, a place shrouded in mystery. Normally, without permission, they wouldn't be able to come here at all.
"As expected of the Central Dojo."
Many Gods were in awe. They could perceive the sheer terror of this place. It appeared ordinary, but in reality, the surrounding chaotic time and space were densely covered with chaotic laws.
It seemed as though the entire Central Dojo had formed a Prehistoric World, self-contained. With a mere thought from the master of this place, absolute time and space could be formed in an instant—no God would be able to escape.
Of course, this was not the most terrifying aspect. The true source of fear in the Central Dojo was, naturally, the Chaos City Lord.
They turned their gaze forward. Sitting there was a young Daoist dressed in a white Taoist robe, emanating an inexplicable Taoist rhythm, as though he were an infinite Chaos Universe himself.
The young Daoist sat cross-legged on the ground, his presence akin to boundless chaos—his depths unfathomable.
Every God present felt as though they were standing atop a mountain, completely insignificant before such an existence.
It felt as though this entity could crush them with a mere thought.
"I summoned you here not for anything else but for this Chaos Genius Battle,"
Gu Chuan declared. "To nurture this new generation of geniuses, I have decided to establish a Hall of Enlightenment.
You shall integrate your understanding of the Dao into the stele, so that those who come after may comprehend the various Daos.
Of course, I will also establish a monument containing my own insights.
My Enlightenment Monument will be placed in the Hall of Enlightenment, and you may study it as you wish."
What?!
Hearing this, many Gods were stunned. Integrating the Dao laws they had comprehended into a stele? To be honest, they were reluctant. Wouldn't this mean revealing their own secrets?
However, when they heard the second half of the sentence, their hearts trembled.
Because this meant gaining access to the Enlightenment Monument of the Chaos City Lord! Studying it constantly would be akin to taking the Chaos City Lord as their teacher, granting them infinite insights.
"Of course, I will not force you," Gu Chuan said. "If you do not wish to participate, you may leave. However, you will never be allowed to enter the Hall of Enlightenment in the future."
"Master City Lord, we are willing! We have no objections!"
Many Gods responded in unison.
What a joke! This was an opportunity to study the Enlightenment Monument of the City Lord. How often did such a chance present itself in the Chaos?
Frankly, exchanging their own insights into the Great Dao for access to the City Lord's wisdom was the best deal possible. Only a fool would refuse.
They had cultivated to their current level because they were far from foolish. They knew how to make the correct decision.
And if any God did choose to leave, they would only offend the Chaos City Lord—a foolish move that would doom them in the Heavens and Worlds.
"Very well, come with me."
With a wave of Gu Chuan's hand—
Whoosh!
In an instant, the stars shifted, and thirty million Gods were transported effortlessly to a new area of Chaos City.
In reality, Chaos City was constantly expanding. It had already become an independent super-world, comparable to the Prehistoric World, with vast unused lands.
And the place where Gu Chuan had brought them was one such unoccupied land.
"From now on, this shall be the Hall of Enlightenment," Gu Chuan declared.
His words were like divine decrees, shaping reality itself.
Rumble~~
Instantly, boundless chaos energy converged, forming an immense palace. Endless chaotic laws intertwined, constructing an impenetrable chaotic defense.
Three large characters manifested upon the palace—Temple of Enlightenment.
These words pulsed with infinite Forbidden Laws, holding unfathomable mysteries within them.
"Amazing!"
Many Gods were utterly awestruck. A super-palace had been created with just a single sentence. This ability—to conjure reality through words—was beyond their comprehension.
"Come in,"
Gu Chuan led the Gods into the palace. However, at the moment, it was vast and empty, resembling an uncarved wilderness.
Without paying further attention to them, Gu Chuan produced several Chaos Stone Essences from his body. These materials contained immortal properties, capable of withstanding the power of the Great Dao.
Clatter!
In an instant, Gu Chuan wielded a sword, carving enormous Chaos Stones. With each stroke, traces of Dao emerged—each mark a manifestation of the Dao's laws.
The countless traces of Dao interwove, forming an intricate network of Great Dao Laws, concealing endless mysteries.
Not long after, 2,999 Chaos Steles appeared on the ground, each containing profound Dao Laws.
Moreover, these stone tablets were arranged like a Primordial Ancient Serpent, coiling endlessly. Each stone tablet held supreme Dao Mysteries.
In fact, the 2,999 Chaos Steles together formed the image of a Primordial Ancient Serpent, resembling a Chaos Demon God from ancient times, exuding boundless pressure.
At this moment, the laws of the Dao permeated the surroundings, merging with chaos essence, forming a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere.
"This… This…!"
The Gods were completely shaken.
The moment they gazed at these Primordial Ancient Serpent Steles, their minds entered a state of epiphany, their spirits overwhelmed by enlightenment.
Deep within their sea of consciousness, they saw a Primordial Ancient Serpent straddling the Chaos, vast and boundless. Each scale upon its body contained infinite Dao power, swirling with chaotic airflow, distorting time and space—turning everything into chaos.
Even as Gods, masters of Great Dao Laws, they felt utterly insignificant before this Primordial Ancient Serpent—like ants, like the contrast between the bright moon and a mere grain of rice.
"Puff!"
A muffled sound echoed.
Many Gods could not withstand such an oppressive presence. Their souls trembled, damaged by the overwhelming pressure, forcing them to cough up blood.
Snapping out of their epiphany, they quickly averted their gazes, never daring to look at the Primordial Ancient Serpent Steles again.
