Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1843 Deng Chanyu's Side Story (Part 3)
A hoarse, aged voice sounded beside the two.

Then, Hongjun, with a slender face and wearing a blue Taoist robe, appeared beside the two.

Nuwa and Deng Chanyu's expressions changed slightly, and then they looked at each other, their hearts sinking.

Hongjun's condition was strange. He looked too old. Was he on the wrong path of merging with the Dao, or had something else happened?
Without offering any explanation, Lao Deng's aura instantly transformed from that of a frail, almost dying man to that of a 60- or 70-year-old who could climb mountains and catch buses.

His weariness vanished instantly, and he asked softly, "My old friend was terrified by you. Can you tell me what you're doing?"

Hongjun was also quite helpless. The sages leaving the primordial world was something he hoped to see, but you can just travel around in the chaos. Don't provoke those terrifying things. Isn't the chaos enough for you to cause trouble? Have you grown too big for your britches? Can't you just focus on your cultivation and take it one step at a time?
Deng Chanyu and Nuwa exchanged glances again. They were the kind of people who had grown too big for their britches. Before they became saints, they were under your control. After they became saints, they were still under your control? Then what was the point of my becoming a saint?
Nuwa winked at Deng Chanyu, meaning "You tell me," and Deng Chanyu also winked at her. I said I couldn't say, so you, teacher, should tell me.

Hongjun wasn't in a hurry; he just watched the two of them glaring at each other with amusement.

Ultimately, Deng Chanyu was too thin-skinned and had a bit of an idol image to maintain; she was still somewhat concerned about her reputation and couldn't be as shameless as Nuwa.
"Alright, I'll just say a few words."

Nuwa was smug. "Little brat, you finally lack your teacher's 'composure,' don't you? You still have a lot to learn!"
Deng Chanyu squinted at her and said, "I can't compare to you. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I still have to save face. I really can't learn your way of completely letting loose."

"Ahem, this is a space we discovered by chance. We thought it led to the other side of chaos, so we asked Senior Luo to help us explore the way. Alas, the result was still somewhat disappointing." Deng Chanyu looked pitiful.

Hongjun looked at the other side through the space-time passage she opened, and even with Lao Deng's extremely high realm after merging with the Dao, he felt that the matter was troublesome.

Nuwa and Deng Chanyu found a troublesome matter that did not belong to the present, much less to the primordial world.

Even if the lightning on the other side of Chaos explodes, the first to be hit will be the Chaos Gods, not the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortals. But things can't be calculated that way. The Chaos Gods are numerous and powerful, but they are all idiots. Faced with this strange space on the other side of Chaos, it could really be like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, sending wave after wave of them into the chaos.

Everything has a growth process. Once the dark side of chaos devours hundreds or thousands of chaotic demons, it will truly grow to a terrifying level. At that time, even the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals, who have mastered the Three Thousand Great Daos, will not be able to resist it.

Hongjun first asked Deng Chanyu, "Can this passage be closed?"

Deng Chanyu shook her head: "The other side has detected my presence. Forcibly shutting it down will definitely cause a series of changes."

Hongjun glanced at Nuwa without changing his expression. "Serves you right for messing around! Can't you just stay put?" Deng Chanyu also gave her a reproachful look. "Teacher, teacher, what can I say to you?"

Nuwa avoided their gazes, feeling somewhat aggrieved. "You all urged me to rise up and cheer up, and now you're complaining about me! How infuriating!"

Hongjun's personality has both a side that goes with the flow and a side that defies fate.

He pondered for a moment: "Now that this passage has appeared, there must be a reason for it. Come with me and take a look."

Avoidance is not the solution. Whether it is inevitable or accidental, this hidden place has already shown hostility towards the primordial world, so we must be prepared. Understanding the enemy's situation is the first step.

Both Nuwa and Deng Chanyu welcomed Lao Deng's willingness to step forward and take on the main responsibility.

"I will follow your instructions, teacher."

"We will obey your instructions, Master." The two answered together. Then Nuwa looked at Deng Chanyu in surprise. "I call you Master, and you call me Master too? Doesn't that make you my peer?"
Deng Chanyu looked at her calmly and said, "I became a disciple of Zixiao Palace. What else should I call you if not teacher?"
Hongjun ignored them, his figure transformed into a streak of green light, and he entered the mysterious passage in an instant.

Nuwa followed her in with an air of nonchalance.

Just before entering the passage, Deng Chanyu was struck by a sudden inspiration and looked around warily.

A woman whose face was obscured stood in the far distance. As if sensing her gaze, the woman nodded slightly.

She is the mother of chaos.

Deng Chanyu recognized the other party's identity. According to her estimation, this was a powerful being whose strength surpassed Hongjun and might not be inferior to Pangu. However, she did not know for sure. At this level, there was no need to divide realms, and no one was qualified to divide them into realms.

What does it mean that the other party is here?
When she looked again, the Mother of Chaos was nowhere to be seen, as if she had never appeared at all.

Deng Chanyu was very dissatisfied and stood at the entrance of the passage, shouting, "What's the use of just showing your face? We risk our lives for you, can't you offer any help? They didn't see clearly that as the controller of the passage, I know what's inside. You're just providing us with moral support?"

After waiting for a while, a huge, heavy golden book broke through the void and suddenly appeared in front of her.

This is the Book of Chaos, which records all events that have occurred and those that have not yet occurred within the chaos.

Deng Chanyu waited a while longer, and only after she felt that the other party would not provide any further assistance did she pick up the giant book and enter the mysterious passage.

There is no spiritual energy on the other side of chaos. The power of a sage is as deep as the ocean, but here, every bit of it consumed is lost, and it cannot be replenished at all.

When their magic power is exhausted, this space will obliterate them; that's how Rahu's clone disappeared before.

Deng Chanyu spent some time finding Hongjun and Nuwa, who had entered earlier.

"Why did it take you so long to get in?" Nuwa complained, then immediately looked at the giant book that Deng Chanyu was holding tightly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is a treasure of a higher level than the Chaos Treasure.

Because Hongjun's gaze also turned towards him, and since Lao Deng had once given away the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner to his disciples, any treasure that he could examine so closely must be extraordinary.

Hongjun, with his willingness to ask questions, asked, "What is this?"

Deng Chanyu briefly explained the existence of the Mother of Chaos and roughly talked about the function of the Book of Chaos.

Nuwa gave Deng Chanyu a sharp look, as if to ask, "Can we get rid of this thing?"

Deng Chanyu shook her head repeatedly. The Mother of Chaos could be considered the embodiment of Chaos itself. Even if the two of us were tied together, we still couldn't defeat her!
