This primordial world is not serious!

Chapter 1052 - 500: Jiang Chen Emerges, Hong Jun Stirs, Calamity of the Demon Gods (Part 3)

His expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, everyone, time waits for no one. Let's cut the idle talk and begin the soul summoning for Daoist Shen Ni."

"Alright!"

The other three Demon Gods responded in unison, putting aside their thoughts and starting to set up an ancient and mysterious soul summoning ritual around the grass hut.

Soon, as the ritual commenced, the Wuliang black energy and deathly stillness of the entire Undying Mountain seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, madly converging towards the grass hut.

Under the control of the four Demon Gods, these extremely pure negative energies were continuously compressed and condensed, ultimately forming a pitch-black coffin exuding an ominous aura, as if it could devour all light.

"Thief, it's your turn to act," the Shadow Demon God urged, his voice becoming even deeper under the encirclement of the black energy.

"Heh heh, just watch, everyone."

The Thief Demon God chuckled, walked to the center of the abandoned grass hut, and used the entire Undying Mountain as the central point. His peculiar large eyes instantly pierced through the barriers of time and space, gazing at the endless timelines of past, present, and future.

Then, he extended a dry yet unbelievably nimble hand into the ever-flowing River of Time, like a child searching for shells on the beach, sifting through various temporal nodes to try and find the True Spirit imprint belonging to Shen Ni.

However, moments later, the Thief Demon God stopped his actions, and a frown slightly appeared on his ever-smiling face.

"Something's not right; the situation is a bit off."

"What is it? Did you encounter any trouble?" the Wood Demon God asked with concern.

The Thief Demon God retracted his hand and replied seriously, "Everyone, I'm afraid we can't retrieve the true Shen Ni."

He explained, "I saw that at least two eons' worth of shackles and seals placed by countless Great Powers, Heaven and Earth Laws, and even the Great Dao itself, are attached to Shen Ni's True Spirit imprint."

"Those shackles are like countless invisible hands, pressing down hard on his coffin board, giving him not the slightest chance to turn over."

"Attempting to steal away his True Spirit imprint intact under such strict suppression is an almost impossible task."

With that, he helplessly spread his hands.

In his palm, the Law Fragments and remnant aura belonging to Shen Ni, painstakingly fished out from countless timelines, could only reluctantly gather into a black emperor's robe with ferocious beast patterns.

Hearing this result, the Shadow Demon God and the Wood Demon God fell into contemplation. The Shadow Demon God said, "This makes things a bit difficult. Without the True Spirit, we can't proceed with our subsequent plans at all."

Yet the Taichu Incarnation showed no surprise and instead smiled, "Heh heh, just as I expected."

"Since the plan can't be executed, let's carry out another backup plan."

He confidently proposed:

"Since we can't directly retrieve Shen Ni himself, we can change our approach and indirectly 'resurrect' Shen Ni through his best comrade in arms during his lifetime—the so-called Chaos Corpse named 'Mutual Gaze.'"

The Shadow Demon God's robe shook violently, expressing his doubt.

"Mutual Gaze Corpse? I remember that Fierce Beast had a pretty good relationship with Shen Ni, but in terms of power and the Great Dao, they are quite far apart."

"In the end, what we painstakingly retrieve might not be Shen Ni at all."

The Taichu Incarnation, however, carelessly waved a hand, revealing their true, colder purpose for this journey:

"It doesn't matter whether it is or isn't."

"After all, we're not trying to 'resurrect' Shen Ni out of kindness, considering this old-era Daoist."

"Our real goal is simply to use the infamous name of 'Shen Ni,' who once wreaked havoc in the entire Primordial, to artificially create a new 'troublemaker' that can attract enmity."

"As long as we can use this to disrupt the situation in Primordial, thus diverting the attention of the Taiwei Gods and the Six Saints of Primordial, and gain time and space for our real plan, we will have achieved our goal."

The Demon Gods' true purpose on this journey is not to resurrect Shen Ni but to exploit the "IP" of Shen Ni to artificially create an entity capable of creating chaos like him.

Upon hearing this explanation, the other Demon Gods instantly realized the plan and smiled knowingly.

"I see, Daoist, your plan is ingenious!"

"Alright then, let's do as you say."

As a result, the Thief Demon God acted again, this time targeting everything related to Chaos Corpse "Mutual Gaze."

This action went much smoother than before.

He quickly retrieved enough Origin aura and Law Fragments regarding the Mutual Gaze Corpse from various temporal spaces and condensed these fragments into a sinister crown sparkling with a ghostly light.

Subsequently, the Taichu Incarnation also took out from his storage space a pair of Cloud-stepping Boots, a belt embedded with Beast Bone, and a dark Jade representing imperial authority.

With the emperor's robe condensed from Shen Ni's aura earlier, they managed to piece together a complete set of majestic regalia.

"Hmm, this is about right. With these items as a catalyst, it should be enough," the Taichu Incarnation nodded in satisfaction.

The Demon Gods collectively opened the coffin lid formed by endless black energy and solemnly placed this entire set of "Shen Ni cosplay" attire inside.

Finally, the newly-born Wood Demon God extended his finger, from which a pure Life Origin Power ignited, transforming into a Life Green Lamp emitting a faint green light.

He gently placed this lamp on the closed coffin, sparking the first glimmer of 'life' in the lifeless coffin.

"It's done! The great work is complete!"

After finishing all this, the projections of the four Demon Gods looked at each other and smiled, their figures beginning to blur as they prepared to leave this place of trouble.

Before leaving, the Taichu Incarnation, feeling something in his heart, instinctively looked up at the Heavenly Dao shrouding the entire Primordial World.

In that instant, he seemed to see, in the depths of the Origin of the Heavenly Dao, a pair of equally profound, ancient, yet slightly bewildered eyes slowly opening, meeting his gaze from afar.

The Taichu Incarnation's heart suddenly shuddered.

"This ancient one who has slumbered for countless ages—is he... about to awaken?"
