"Well, don't you dare to act?"
Gu Chuan hovered above Chaos City, sensing the first wave of Chaos Demon Gods who had arrived. Though their presence reeked of malice, none dared to make a move upon seeing him.
It was clear they had measured their own strength and found themselves lacking. Since they hesitated, he saw no reason to act either.
If he struck first, he might scare away other Chaos Demon Gods who were interested in his sermon, disrupting his plans.
But even if they did attack, he had nothing to fear.
At this moment, Gu Chuan's power stood at the pinnacle of Chaos Demon Gods. He had already stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Furthermore, he possessed numerous Chaos treasures—Chaos Orb, Chaos Skynet, Wish Feng Shui Compass, Chaos Sound Shell, and more. Even if he were to face a Saint in the future, he would not falter.
With such confidence and power, he dared to preach to the entire Chaos World, inviting countless Chaos Demon Gods to his Chaos City.
"Then wait as long as you like."
Ignoring the assembled demon gods, Gu Chuan floated above Chaos City, silently cultivating. He absorbed the chaotic energy, paying no heed to those who had gathered.
In the blink of an eye, ten epochs passed.
With time, the number of Chaos Demon Gods increased. From the initial tens of thousands, their numbers had swelled to millions.
Some came eager to hear the truth. Some were merely curious about Gu Chuan. And others—evil entities—coveted his flesh and blood.
Among them, many had reached the Immemorial Golden Immortal Realm, while the most terrifying ones, lurking in the depths of the chaotic void, had already stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Even so, they had patiently waited for ten epochs.
But now, their patience was wearing thin.
They would not wait until ninety epochs before making their move.
"The Primordial Serpent—did you not say you would preach? We have been waiting here for ages. When will you finally begin?"
A Quasi-Saint Demon God stepped forward, his voice cold and sharp.
This being resembled a colossal black wolf, its body stretching fifty billion kilometers. Engraved across its dark fur were intricate laws of darkness, as if its very being was a manifestation of the void itself.
One glance at it was enough to invoke terror. It felt as though one's flesh and soul would be devoured in an instant.
Its gaze was filled with cruel indifference, as if it looked down upon all of existence.
"The Dark Demon Wolf has finally lost patience."
Seeing this, the other evil Chaos Demon Gods stirred. They had been waiting for someone to act first. If no one led the charge, they would remain hesitant.
But the Dark Demon Wolf was among the strongest of them—a Quasi-Saint-level being, a tyrant among demons. Wherever it appeared, devastation followed.
Until now, it had remained cautious of Gu Chuan. But at this moment, it saw no further need for patience.
"Indeed. We have waited long enough. Must we endure until a hundred epochs before you begin? Do you think we, Chaos Demon Gods, are beneath you?"
Another Quasi-Saint stepped forward.
It took the form of a titanic black tiger, its body wreathed in endless flames of darkness. Even standing near it, one risked being burned to ash.
"The Flame Demon Tiger has lost patience as well. This Primordial Serpent may be in danger."
The gathered Chaos Demon Gods exchanged glances. The Flame Demon Tiger was no less terrifying than the Dark Demon Wolf. It, too, had reached the Quasi-Saint Realm and reigned supreme over its own domain.
Now, with two Quasi-Saint Demon Gods openly confronting Gu Chuan, the situation had reached a boiling point.
"I agree. We arrived first, yet we must wait? Do you take us for fools? If you do not give us an explanation, this matter will not end peacefully."
A third Quasi-Saint emerged.
This one took the shape of an enormous lizard, covered in glowing thunder runes. The very air around it crackled with terrifying lightning, ready to erupt at any moment.
Even the other Chaos Demon Gods instinctively took a step back, fearing they might be struck by stray thunderbolts.
"The Thunder Monitor Lizard is joining in, too."
A wave of unease rippled through the crowd. The Thunder Monitor Lizard was infamous for its destructive power. It was said to wield the complete Law of Thunder, striking down enemies with divine lightning, leaving no place for them to hide.
The number of Chaos Demon Gods it had slain was beyond count.
Furthermore, its temper was volatile—like a storm ready to explode at the slightest provocation. No one dared to challenge it lightly.
"That's right! We demand an explanation!"
"Primordial Serpent, we came to Chaos City to listen to you, not to be ignored!"
"If you refuse to acknowledge us, do not blame us for what comes next."
More and more Chaos Demon Gods joined in.
With the Dark Demon Wolf, Flame Demon Tiger, and Thunder Monitor Lizard leading the charge, a total of nine Quasi-Saint Chaos Demon Gods had now stepped forward, each radiating overwhelming arrogance.
