1099 The Devils Were Here Again!

The Chaos was in an uproar over the Hallowed Lord Lin Feng taking out the Chaotic Origin Stone to “share”. Even within the Mutual Assistance Alliance, it was very lively.

The people who took the initiative to leave the Mutual Assistance Alliance previously were all dumbfounded, and incomparably regretful.

Leaving the Mutual Assistance Alliance at such a critical moment was equivalent to betrayal. Although the Hallowed Lord did not pursue the matter, it was undoubtedly a fool’s dream for them to join the Mutual Assistance Alliance again.

Even if many Perfected Deities were unwilling to accept it, so what? They were facing the colossal Mutual Assistance Alliance, and the Invincible Hallowed Lord. They could only conceal the indignation in their hearts. In any case, they no longer had a chance to study the Chaotic Origin Stone.

Right now, the focus of many people’s attention was who could be the first to study the Chaotic Origin Stone.

In the Mutual Assistance Alliance, there were also some Perfected Deities who were eager to make an attempt. Though, in terms of merit, there was no doubt that it should be the Alliance Deputy Leader, Yuan Zhenggang’s turn. However, Yuan Zhenggang was not in a hurry. He knew that sooner or later, he would be able to study the Chaotic Origin Stone. Even if that was a Chaotic supreme treasure, he was not in a hurry.

“What? Perfected Deity Ruyi would be the first to study the Chaotic Origin Stone?”

“Perfected Deity Ruyi. I didn’t expect it to be Perfected Deity Ruyi.”

“That makes sense too. After all, Perfected Deity Ruyi is the top divine array master in Holy City Primum Mobile. Didn’t Perfected Deity Ruyi personally set up the many divine arrays in the Mutual Assistance Alliance? With such merit, after joining the Mutual Assistance Alliance, his contributions would also be considerable. He is entirely worthy of being the first Perfected Deity to study the Chaotic Origin Stone.”

“Perfected Deity Ruyi is really lucky to have the first turn. I wonder if Perfected Deity Ruyi can seize this opportunity to become a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable?”

When many people learned that Perfected Deity Ruyi had become the first cultivator to study the Chaotic Origin Stone, they all sighed with much emotion, and felt a little anxious.

They did not know that actually, Chaotic Hallowed Venerables were all “destined”. They thought that by studying the Chaotic Supreme Rule first, they would get a better chance.

But in reality? If one was not destined to be the Chaotic Hallowed Venerable, even if the Chaotic Origin Stone had been in his possession for billions of years, he had no chance of becoming a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.

Hence, many people were nervous, and silently waiting for the outcome.

A month was neither long nor short. It would pass with perhaps a period of seclusion, or the blink of an eye. But if one was paying attention to the outcome, every day felt like a year. Every minute and every second felt very long.

Lin Feng was very calm. After all, he was someone who knew the secrets of the Chaos. The Chaotic Hallowed Venerable was predestined. They might be able to resonate with the Supreme Rule after studying it for a day.

If one was meant to be a Hallowed Venerable, they would eventually become a Hallowed Venerable. If they were not the Hallowed Venerable, it made no difference how long they studied it, or when their turn to study it came.

Soon, a month was up.

Swoosh.

In the secret chamber of the divine array, a figure stepped out. It was Perfected Deity Ruyi, who had entered only a month ago.

“Perfected Deity Ruyi, how was it?” Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Perfected Deity Ruyi’s expression was both surprised and elated, but also a little regretful. He shook his head and said, “The Supreme Rule is profound. Unfortunately, I can’t comprehend its true meaning.”

Lin Feng had already expected that Perfected Deity Ruyi would not be able to comprehend it, but the others were overjoyed. One less Perfected Deity Ruyi meant that other Perfected Deities still had a chance.

“What a joke. It’s ridiculous that I once risked my life to fight for the Chaotic Origin Stone, and failed to obtain it. I’ve been brooding over it until now. If something is not meant to be mine, it’s ultimately not mine.”

Perfected Deity Ruyi looked at Lin Feng for a long time. In reality, after studying the Supreme Rule, he attained a kind of enlightenment. He vaguely understood what the Supreme Rule signified.

The Supreme Rule was not that profound or miraculous. However, if one could not resonate with it, they would not be compatible with the Supreme Rule. In other words, they would not be able to become a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.

The one who could resonate with it was already destined!

“Hallowed Lord, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!”

Perfected Deity Ruyi bowed deeply to Lin Feng. He was sincerely grateful to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and said, “It’s fine. You deserve this, Perfected Deity Ruyi. You made outstanding contributions by setting up these divine arrays. They can also be considered contributions to the Mutual Assistance Alliance. The promise I made to you back then is still valid. Perfected Deity, you can ask me to fulfill my promise at any time!”

Lin Feng mentioned the promise he had made with Perfected Deity Ruyi last time. Asking Perfected Deity Ruyi to study the Chaotic Origin Stone this time was not Lin Feng’s way of fulfilling his promise.

“This…”

Perfected Deity Ruyi was stunned, but in the end, he nodded and said, “Let me go back and consider this matter carefully. After I’ve thought it through, I’ll naturally reply to the Hallowed Lord.”

“That’s great.”

Then, Perfected Deity Ruyi bade farewell and left.

As Perfected Deity Ruyi left, turmoil arose through the Chaos again.

As expected, Lin Feng was not offering the Chaotic Origin Stone for show. He was really offering it for people to study. Perfected Deity Ruyi had personally studied it. Although he could not successfully conform to the Supreme Rule, it was normal for there to be no conformity. If everyone could conform to it, how many Chaotic Hallowed Venerables would there be?

With Perfected Deity Ruyi’s example, the Mutual Assistance Alliance immediately became even more popular.

Be it ordinary Perfected Deities or top-notch Perfected Deities, regardless of whether they had joined other factions previously, they would all withdraw now. They were all prepared to join the Mutual Assistance Alliance.

As for those Perfected Deities who had left the Mutual Assistance Alliance previously, they had simply suffered an enormous blow. Countless Perfected Deities mocked them as negative examples.

Those Perfected Deities were short-sighted and opportunistic. They thought that Hallowed Lord Lin Feng could not become a Hallowed Venerable, so they added insult to injury, and “abandoned” Lin Feng and the Mutual Assistance Alliance.

But what was the outcome?

Lin Feng was still the Hallowed Lord. He was still in charge of the Chaotic Origin Stone. Countless Perfected Deities fought over just the opportunity to study it, yet there were actually people who were foolish enough to leave voluntarily.

Without a doubt, they had become a huge joke in the Chaos.

Those Perfected Deities no longer had the face to establish themselves in the Chaos. They all announced their seclusion. Out of sight, out of mind.

Although Perfected Deity Ruyi had obtained the opportunity to study the Chaotic Origin Stone, it was impossible for the Chaotic Origin Stone to be studied by others forever. Lin Feng also established some rules and regulations.

For example, if one wanted to study it, they had to make some contributions in the Mutual Assistance Alliance. For example, they had to discover a Chaotic continent, or incorporate the Chaotic continent into the Mutual Assistance Alliance. Only after making certain contributions could they obtain the opportunity to study the Chaotic Origin Stone.

Some Perfected Deities with deep foundations gritted their teeth and took out some of their assets, such as the few Chaotic continents under their command. They were all incorporated into the Mutual Assistance Alliance.

This way, the foundation of the Mutual Assistance Alliance was also strengthened further.

As the people who studied the Chaotic Origin Stone grew, more and more Chaotic Perfected Deities could not sit still anymore.

Among them, the three Greater Devils from Abyss City also tried to join the Mutual Assistance Alliance. Moreover, they brought a few Chaotic continents to join the Mutual Assistance Alliance together.

According to the previous rules of the Mutual Assistance Alliance, once these Greater Devils joined the Mutual Assistance Alliance, their contributions would be enough for studying the Chaotic Origin Stone.

However, could these devils really obtain the opportunity to study the Chaotic Origin Stone?

The Perfected Deities of the Mutual Assistance Alliance did not dare to make the call, and reported this matter to Hallowed Lord Lin Feng.
