Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 287: The Prison Where the Gods Are Held

"My lord, is this technique truly that powerful?"

King Sword River couldn't help but ask.

"If you don't believe it, then try it yourself."

Gu Chuan smiled slightly, pointed at a stone on the ground, and asked, "What is this?"

"It's a stone—a piece of gravel," King Sword River replied, momentarily stunned. Though he didn't understand why Gu Chuan would ask such a question, he answered honestly.

"No, it is not a stone—it is a horse."

Gu Chuan spoke lightly.

"How is that possible? This is obviously a stone. How could it—"

King Sword River was about to continue, but his words caught in his throat. His eyes widened in shock as he witnessed the stone on the ground distort the very laws of reality and alter its fundamental substance.

Before his very eyes, it transformed from an inanimate stone into a magnificent Heavenly Horse. The creature neighed, its pristine white mane flowing like silk, its body radiating a powerful bloodline aura.

"This...!"

The gathered God Kings were dumbfounded. They watched as a simple stone was reversed into a living, breathing creature—transcending the boundary between non-living matter and sentient life. This was an inexplicable miracle, beyond their comprehension.

"Look, what is this?" Gu Chuan pointed to another stone.

"It's a stone," answered the Heavenly Sword King, standing nearby.

"No, it is not a stone—it is a flower."

Gu Chuan smiled slightly.

Clatter—

The moment he finished speaking, under the astonished gazes of the assembled God Kings, the stone's material composition changed entirely. It was forcibly transmuted into a seed.

Then, as if infused with boundless vitality, the seed cracked open, sprouting roots, and soon bloomed into a radiant, innate rose—its petals emitting a divine fragrance that permeated the air.

Faced with this sight, the God Kings were speechless. There was no explanation, no rationalization, no understanding—only sheer awe.

"Do you still require further demonstration?" Gu Chuan asked.

"No, no, that is enough, Lord City Master. We fully understand the disparity between us now," King Sword River and the other God Kings hastily responded.

They couldn't wait for Gu Chuan to retract his display of power. The sheer impact of what they had witnessed left them shaken to their core.

Initially, they had entertained the thought of competing with Gu Chuan, hoping to gain some advantage from the encounter.

But now, seeing the overwhelming gap in ability, they realized they couldn't even begin to comprehend his methods, let alone learn from them. Chaos City's Lord stood in a realm beyond their reach.

"By the way, Lord City Master, as a gesture of my apology, I have a treasure that I would like to present to you."

The Flame Hammer King spoke in a deep voice.

"A treasure?" Gu Chuan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, during my travels through Chaos, I stumbled upon a secret realm and discovered an unusual ore. Despite my efforts, I could not discern its mysteries, but I believe it is extremely valuable. Thus, I wish to offer it to you."

Flame Hammer King produced a piece of black ore. It was pitch black, seemingly unremarkable at first glance.

"Oh?"

Gu Chuan reached out and took the ore, sensing the presence of a unique and profound law of Chaos within it—one even he could not immediately decipher.

Instantly intrigued, he examined it closely. There were very few things in Chaos that remained beyond his comprehension.

"It is indeed a fine treasure. I shall accept it, but I will not take something for nothing. In exchange for its value, I will grant you one request—so long as it is not excessive."

"What?!"

The surrounding God Kings gasped, their eyes turning green with envy.

A promise from the Lord of Chaos City—this was no less than an opportunity to reshape destiny itself.

An unknown ore, and in return, a favor from the greatest force in Chaos?

Jealousy burned in their hearts.

"Very well." The Flame Hammer King was visibly excited. "My request is this, Lord City Master. In addition to being an Elder of the Giant Axe Arena, I am also responsible for managing the Prison of Chaos City.

Many beings violate the laws of Chaos City, including criminals from across the myriad realms. While not all deserve death, they must still be confined.

The problem is that these beings possess all manner of formidable and unique abilities, allowing them to escape with ease. Over the years, countless criminals have fled, causing me endless frustration.

Thus, I ask that the City Master forge a supreme prison—one capable of holding even the gods themselves. That would put an end to my troubles."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding God Kings felt their eyelids twitch violently.

This Flame Hammer King was truly devious—requesting a prison crafted by the City Master himself.

A prison capable of holding gods...

If such a thing were to be created, even the divine would be shackled!

And they had no doubt that Gu Chuan possessed the ability to accomplish such a feat.

After all, who in Chaos City didn't know? The City Lord was the greatest refining master in all of Chaos. He had personally crafted the Chaos Tower, the Chaos Virtual Network, and even Chaos City itself.

For him, refining a prison capable of detaining gods was nothing more than child's play.

"A prison for gods? A trivial matter."

Gu Chuan rubbed his chin. He did not consider it a challenge.

"Then, I am deeply grateful, Lord City Master!"

Flame Hammer King's eyes gleamed with anticipation. With such a territory under his command, his name would surely resound across the heavens, striking fear into the hearts of countless gods.

"Good. If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Gu Chuan nodded, and with a single step, his figure vanished from sight.

As they watched him depart, the expressions of the God Kings remained complex.

"He is too powerful. The Chaos City Lord is beyond our comprehension."

"What realm has he truly reached? The God Emperor Realm? The God Sovereign Realm? Or something even higher?"

"I don't know. I can't explain it, I can't understand it, I can't even analyze it. Just as mortals cannot fathom gods, we cannot fathom the existence of the Chaos City Lord."

"Though the City Lord is a Chaos Demon God, perhaps he has already surpassed even that, reaching an entirely different level of existence."

"Could it be that the City Lord has touched upon the realm of the entities beyond the gate?"

"I do not know... but it is not impossible."

"We are still so far behind. To think we once fought over power within the Giant Axe Arena—compared to true great beings, we are nothing but a joke, insignificant."

"Shall we continue our quarrels?"

"No. Not today. I must return and reflect on all that has transpired."

"You mean to say you understand the City Lord's methods?"

"I do not. But that will not stop me from trying to analyze them. Even if I can grasp the smallest fragment of his wisdom, it will be a great fortune."

The gathered God Kings discussed among themselves, filled with both excitement and reverence. Their prior thoughts of opposition had completely vanished, replaced with nothing but admiration for Gu Chuan.
