King Of Chaos

Ning Xuan was surprised when he heard the two guards telling him that a person named Ling Xiaolong has come to visit him.

Since Ling Xiaolong was here, it means the problem which appeared along with that dark demonic vortex was dealt with.

Ning Xuan could not understand how Ling Xiaolong did it, but since he was here already, Ning Xuan did not hesitate to go and personally receive Ling Xiaolong from the main gate.

And after a short exchange of words with Ling Xiaolong, he started telling Ling Xiaolong what was happening to him in the past few years. Ning Xuan told Ling Xiaolong why he targeted the treasure that should have been Ling Xiaolong's. He also intended to ask why Ling Xiaolong would murder him in the near future, before leaving the Land of Morning Stars with two thieves.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, was surprised to learn a few things from Ning Xuan.

It turned out that Ning Xuan already had visions about him recreating Blood Devour ability and devouring the entire Blood Sea and raising his cultivation to the Heavenly Saint Realm.

Ye Xiao was not surprised in the least when he heard that even after devouring an entire Sea of Blood, his cultivation only increased from the Great Saint Realm to the Heavenly Saint Realm, only by one major stage. It is because he already has an idea of what the reason might be.

First of all, Blood Sea was filled with Blood Energy, not Chaos Energy which is required for cultivation. Second, a large portion of Blood Energy must be used to strengthen his two bloodlines, and a small portion to strengthen his body. Third, there was also a huge universe inside his body. The universe must have swallowed a large portion of blood energy as well, leaving him with enough energy that supplemented his cultivation, raising it by one major realm.

Knowing all these, Ye Xiao was not surprised.

Again, Ye Xiao was dumbstruck when he heard about Ning Xuan's experience.

After a few moments of deep thought, he spoke, "I don't know why I'll kill you in the future, but I must have a valid reason. I am not someone who kills people blindly."

"And I'm also not someone who does something evil." Ning Xuan retorted, and both of them fell silent.

Ye Xiao shook his head and spoke in a low voice, "I don't know about visions, but let's do our best to not get in each other's way anymore. Also, it is better if you don't do anything that will make me kill you. Let me be honest with you, no matter how many treasures you obtain or how powerful you become, I can still kill you!"

With that, Ye Xiao no longer wasted his time on Ning Xuan and disappeared. He also did not plan to take the Three-layered Miracle Liquid from Ning Xuan. Since Ning Xuan obtained this treasure by going through many dangers himself, Ye Xiao chose to let Ning Xuan have that treasure.

Ning Xuan, on the other hand, was shocked when he saw Ye Xiao disappearing right in front of his eyes. He could not help but wonder exactly how powerful Ye Xiao is to disappear and he was unable to even sense how Ye Xiao did it.

Then he looked at the three-colored tattoo on his hand and wondered why Ye Xiao did not ask for this treasure.

.....

"Why did you not ask for the Three-layered Miracle Liquid?" The Lotus of Chaos asked.

Ye Xiao was flying at full speed, heading somewhere unknown. He said, "I don't need any treasure. What I have are enough!"

"You don't understand. If it was any other treasure, then it would not have mattered. Why do you think the Three-layered Miracle Liquid was connected to you by fate?"

"Why?"

"It is because this treasure was prepared by Chaos for you eras ago. You don't have any idea how powerful Three-layered Miracle Liquid really is. The strength Ning Xuan displayed was not 30% but 15%."

"What did you say? This treasure was prepared by Chaos for me. And that is eras ago?"

"You heard it write!"

"Did Chaos already know I will come? If yes, then how? And why did it even prepare a treasure for me?"

"EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED. Everything, you have experienced till now is connected."

"Connected? How? Why?"

Ye Xiao was very confused. Everything he has experienced till now is connected. If it is true, isn't that mean his experience in the Heavens is also connected to why Chaos prepared a treasure for him? 

But why?

At this time, Ye Xiao realized that he seemed to be walking on a path laid down for him by someone from the very start. Could it be that there is nothing REAL about him?

Ye Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Heavens told me that I was never born, I was created by it through its Essence. Don't tell me it is..."

"Yes, everything was preplanned. Your situation in the Heavens includes your birth and experiences where you first get acquainted with Nine Ancestral Dragons, obtained their abilities, then fought against them, and you first go against the Heavens before fighting for them. Everything was preplanned, everything is connected."I think you should take a look at

"You coming out of Heavens, your death, your rebirth, and your birth in the Land of Moring Stars, everything is connected!"

Ye Xiao felt like his head was becoming dizzy and heavy. He was right, he seemed to really be walking on a path prepared by someone from the very start. He seemed to be a part of someone's plan all along.

Back in the Heavens, when Ye Xiao learned the truth about his birth, he only thought that Heavens was very clever and crafty and that the Heavens had already thought of everything from the very start and acted according to its plan.

But now, it seems even Heavens was unaware that it was included in someone else's plan all along.

"Who is it?"

Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and asked. He did not like this feeling, being manipulated by someone for a life time while staying unaware of the truth.

If not for his decision to not take the Three-layered Miracle Liquid from Ning Xuan, he was afraid he wouldn't have gotten to learn this truth at all.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Listening to the Lotus of Chaos, anger flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes. He coldly snorted, "And now is not the right time, is it?"

"Yes, now is not the right time!"

The Lotus of Chaos repeated Ye Xiao's words.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath and tried to suppress the fury rising in his heart. Then he asked, "The path I'm walking currently where I have to obtain all 108 Rule Source Crystals, is it also prepared by that someone?"

Lotus of Chaos: "Yes!"

"And you are working for that someone from the very beginning?" Ye Xiao asked again.

"Yes!"

The Lotus of Chaos's answer remained the same.

Ye Xiao felt betrayed once again. He always thought that no matter what happens, the Lotus of Chaos will never betray him. Ye Xiao thought like this because the Lotus of Chaos had already become a part of his universe, the core of his universe. If something happens to Ye Xiao, his universe will also die, and along with the universe, the Lotus of Chaos will be erased from existence as well.

Even when Ye Xiao died after coming out of the Heavens, if the Lotus of Chaos had not saved Ye Xiao's soul from dissipating, his universe would have been destroyed along with his true death.

But now, it seems he was wrong.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Xiao's eyes become cold. He then asked coldly, "Do you know why I never questioned you even when I learned that you chose to become a part of me because you are planning something, and you need me to obtain all 108 Rule Source Crystals?"

"I know. You never asked me a question because you always believed I'm a part of your universe, so I'll never try to harm you. Otherwise, I'll get destroyed as well. And you are right. This is true. I never thought of betraying you?" The Lotus of Chaos explained.

"You never betrayed me, huh? Then what the hell are you planning? Why the hell are you working for someone else? Why the hell are you making me walk the path created by someone else for a purpose?"

Ye Xiao shouted angrily. He had already stopped flying and was currently floating above a desert.

Along with his shout, a strong wind swept over, bringing dust and sand into the sky and dancing. 

"I will not tell you anything for now. You will understand when you will learn the complete truth. At that time, you'll know I never betrayed you. At that time, you'll know I was always there for you, thinking for you, working for you, and living for you!"

"Living for me? Heh... Haha..."

Hearing the Lotus of Chaos's words, Ye Xiao laughed self-mockingly.
