Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 127 - : Chaos, Order, and Neutrality

The birth of so many Dao-level Demon God has brought about earth-shattering changes to the structure of the entire Chaos World. Battles between Demon Gods have become more frequent and intense.

This shift is largely due to Gu Chuan.

With the widespread adoption of cultivation methods, many ores, treasures, and elixirs within Chaos have become valuable resources. These materials, once insignificant, are now crucial for the cultivation of Demon Gods.

Originally, these resources were scattered randomly across the Chaos World, with no one bothering to claim them—much like stones on the side of the road.

This situation is akin to human society in the primordial era. In ancient times, primitive humans had no need to compete for resources such as metal, silver, or oil, as these materials held no immediate value to them.

However, in modern society, these same resources are fought over fiercely, with nations waging wars to secure them. This transformation represents the progress of civilization, driven by advancements in science and technology.

The same logic applies here.

Before the advent of cultivation methods, Demon Gods paid no attention to these resources because they did not understand their significance. To them, these materials were mere waste.

Now, however, things are different. This is the era of great cultivation—an age of gods. Cultivation resources scattered throughout Chaos are now regarded as treasures of immense value.

Since these resources are finite and non-renewable, those who acquire more gain a significant advantage. Faster cultivation leads to greater strength, and greater strength ensures dominance.

As a result, fierce wars have erupted among the Demon Gods, turning the Chaos World into a battlefield where blood flows like rivers.

In many ways, the current conflicts are even more chaotic and brutal than the battles that occurred when Chaos first took form. This is no longer a clash of individual beings—it is warfare between factions, organized armies clashing on a massive scale.

To protect themselves, Demon Gods have begun forming alliances.

Based on differing ideologies, they have split into three factions:

• The Order Faction, led by the Lord of Light.

• The Chaos Faction, led by the Lord of Darkness.

• The Neutral Faction, represented by Chaos City.

Demon Gods who wish to avoid the divine war have gathered in Chaos City, seeking refuge. Over time, the city has grown into a thriving sanctuary, a haven for countless Demon Gods.

"The Chaos World is truly becoming more chaotic," one Demon God sighed.

"Isn't that the truth? It would be ideal if everyone could simply focus on their cultivation in peace, but the Lord of Light and the Lord of Darkness have ignited a war of the gods. Now, no place in Chaos is safe."

Many Demon Gods gritted their teeth in frustration.

Once, they could roam freely through Chaos, but now, the world has been divided into territories controlled by powerful Demon Gods. Any outsider who trespasses into these domains is treated as an enemy and slain.

As a result, Demon Gods no longer approach unfamiliar regions, limiting their range of movement. Traveling alone is even more dangerous, as one risks being ambushed. The Chaos World is now far more perilous than ever before.

"Thankfully, Chaos City exists as a neutral zone where we Demon Gods can take refuge. Without it, we would have nowhere to go."

A Demon God sighed in relief. They did not side with Order, nor did they embrace Chaos.

They only wished to live in peace, free from the war between the divine factions. Without Chaos City, they would be utterly lost.

"Hmph! If the Lord of Chaos had not chosen to remain uninvolved, how could the Lord of Light and the Lord of Darkness be allowed to run rampant like this?" one Demon God grumbled.

"Exactly! If the Lord of Chaos City were to act, those upstart Demon Gods would be wiped out instantly."

Some clenched their fists, filled with resentment.

They saw the rising powers of the two factions as nothing more than arrogant upstarts, taking advantage of the absence of true rulers. However, they understood that they could not simply demand action from the Lord of Chaos City.

Providing them a place of refuge was already a great mercy. They could not ask for more.

Yet, beyond these dissatisfied voices, a new sentiment had begun to rise.

As the years passed, younger Demon Gods, unfamiliar with the legends of the past, started questioning the power of Chaos City's ruler, Gu Chuan.

Having spent eons in seclusion, Gu Chuan had not made an appearance since the dawn of the Age of Gods. To some, his absence was proof of his irrelevance.

"Who even is this so-called Lord of Chaos City? He simply attained enlightenment a bit earlier than the rest of us," one young Demon God sneered.

"In terms of strength, is he really so much greater than other Demon Gods who have attained the Dao?"

A few others nodded in agreement.

"He may have been powerful billions of epochs ago, but things have changed. The number of Demon Gods who have attained enlightenment has multiplied. Can he really still claim superiority?"

"That's right! He might have been unmatched in the past, but now? Can he even compete with the Lord of Light or the Lord of Darkness?"

"Indeed! If he never steps forward to fight, how can we be sure of his strength? Perhaps he is nothing more than a relic of the past."

"Times have changed. There are far too many Demon Gods now. One man alone cannot dominate forever."

The murmurs of doubt spread among the younger generation. They saw the era of the ancient Demon Gods as a bygone age, one where power had shifted away from its former rulers.

Although such voices were still in the minority, the seeds of skepticism had been sown.
