CHAPTER 1850: 1175 FRIGHTENED CHAOS DEMIGOD

With the mysteries of the Heart of Pangu, even a Chaos Demigod standing face to face could not hope to eavesdrop on the conversation between Jiang Chen and Gonggong.

To put it bluntly, if a Chaos Demigod had this ability, they wouldn’t need to hide anymore.

"I see!"

"You came here to reshape Mount Buzhou."

Through their exchange, Gonggong understood Jiang Chen’s intention and firmly believed his words.

The reason is simple: the Heart of Pangu has the capability to discern truth from falsehood. As long as Gonggong confirmed that the Heart of Pangu was genuine, he naturally knew whether Jiang Chen was telling the truth.

If he were lying, how would the Heart of Pangu acknowledge him? Does one truly believe anyone can carry the Heart of Pangu?

If one did not receive the approval of the Heart of Pangu, even a Saint could not approach it by half a step.

Now, since even the Heart of Pangu acknowledged Jiang Chen, what reason did Gonggong have to doubt him?

"What about the Chaos Demigod that the Ancestral Witch Gonggong mentioned earlier?"

After confirming each other’s identities, Jiang Chen began to inquire about the main topic.

"This matter is also related to my own experiences."

"The reason I ended up in such a situation today is entirely due to the Chaos Demigod."

"Long before the Investiture of the Gods calamity, by tempering my body in this special environment, I had inadvertently stepped into the realm of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial with my physical body alone, which could rival an Innate Treasure."

"Logically, with my strength in the Primordial realm, suppressing the Chaos Qi beneath Mount Buzhou should have been an easy task."

"Even at the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, when the Chaos World shattered again, causing the power near Mount Buzhou to increase, it was still barely within my capacity to bear."

"But unexpectedly, at the very moment the Chaos World shattered, a Chaos Demigod secretly arrived, severely injuring me, thereby leaving me unable to suppress the Chaos Qi beneath Mount Buzhou, allowing it to form into this Chaos Sea."

Gonggong recounted his experience in full detail to Jiang Chen. Before the Investiture of the Gods calamity, he was already a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial realm. With his power, he could completely break the seal that a Saint had placed on him.

If he truly lacked the power to suppress the Chaos Qi beneath him, he could have left and asked others for help, instead of desperately suppressing the Chaos Qi, causing the situation to worsen.

So why didn’t Gonggong seek help from others? Because he was wounded by the Chaos Demigod and had fallen into a deep sleep, unable to call for aid.

"In addition, the Chaos Demigod also set up an array nearby, to obscure the true situation of this place, making it seem as though I was still suppressing the Chaos Qi, maintaining an appearance of peace and tranquility here."

"On the other hand, it was to move the ruins of Mount Buzhou, making it drift farther and farther from the Chaos World, so it would slip out of everyone’s sight in the vastness of the Chaos."

"This is why, despite the extreme harshness of the environment of Mount Buzhou’s ruins, no outsider had discovered it."

Fearing Jiang Chen would not believe it, Gonggong added.

In fact, Jiang Chen did not disbelieve him. Everything Gonggong said, the Chaos Demigod was completely capable of executing.

To obscure an issue so that the strong ones of the Chaos could not discover it was really too easy for a Chaos Demigod. After all, their cultivation was once set there, far exceeding that of today’s strong ones in the Chaos.

As for deceiving the perceptions of the Heavenly Dao, that was even easier. If even the strong ones of the Chaos could manage it, let alone a Chaos Demigod.

Hence, it was entirely feasible for the Chaos Demigod to severely injure Gonggong and disguise it as though everything was well with him.

Of course, such a disguise could also be easily uncovered; as long as someone came to see Gonggong, they would discover the truth of the matter.

But unfortunately, since the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, apart from Jiang Chen, no one else had come to visit Gonggong here.

It wasn’t that Gonggong had poor character, but after the Investiture of the Gods calamity, the power of destruction around Mount Buzhou’s ruins had grown strong enough to threaten even a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial realm.

Gonggong’s sister, Xuanming, was only at the realm of Great Divine Transcendents, so how could she enter to visit Gonggong?

Mother Earth had the strength, but she was bound by the rules of reincarnation, unable to leave the Netherworld, and naturally couldn’t come here to visit Gonggong.

The rest of the capable people, like the six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, were even less likely to travel from afar to visit Gonggong.

This resulted in countless years passing without anyone discovering Gonggong’s condition and the latent danger of this place. If Jiang Chen hadn’t come, a great disaster would inevitably have erupted in the Chaos due to this place.

"Not all Chaos Demigods are simple-minded; they do have some understanding of human nature."

This incident made Jiang Chen realize that the Chaos Demigods truly began to use their brains. The plan of the Chaos Demigod was not complicated, and its success was merely a matter of leveraging human nature.

This indicated that the Chaos Demigods had started to use their intelligence, whereas before, the thing they hated most was using their brains.

An enemy known for its strength suddenly began to use wisdom, which undoubtedly would make it more terrifying.

"If not for the Ancestral Witch’s connected minds, the Chaos Demigod feared being discovered by Hou Tu and Xuan Ming and might have already killed me instead of leaving me severely injured."

Not knowing what he thought of, Gonggong suddenly said with a self-mocking expression.

The Chaos Demigod clearly had the power to kill him, yet did not, not because they thought he was still useful, but because they feared that killing him would alert Hou Tu, thus they refrained from doing so.

"No, wait!"
