"Hallowed Venerable." Lin Feng took it seriously and said in a low voice, "In other words, the birth of nine Chaotic Hallowed Venerables is inevitable and unchangeable?"

"That's right. It's destined that the nine Hallowed Venerables would take their positions, and it's also very beneficial to Hallowed Venerables like us. This is because only when the nine Hallowed Venerables take their positions can we gather the nine Supreme Rules, and completely mobilize the Chaotic power. In fact, if we encounter the invasion of another alien world again, we can also take the initiative to attack, and let the Chaos devour the alien world to grow."

Lin Feng understood now. Only when the nine Chaotic Hallowed Venerables returned could the maximum power of the Chaos be unleashed. It could even take the initiative to devour other alien worlds, and help the Chaos grow.

Hence, it was inevitable that the nine Chaotic Hallowed Venerables would take their positions. It was only a matter of time. Then, Lin Feng's inability to comprehend the Supreme Rule meant that he was not destined to be the one, and was not a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. If he continued to monopolize the Chaotic Origin Stone, perhaps the Hallowed Venerables would tolerate it for the short term, but if this went on over long term, the Hallowed Venerables would probably interfere.

"Hallowed Venerable, I understand now. Thank you."

Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile naturally knew Lin Feng's goal. He actually thought very highly of Lin Feng. He had originally thought that Lin Feng was the eighth Hallowed Venerable, and was even willing to befriend him in advance.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng had not been able to comprehend the Supreme Rule for 500 years. According to past experience, Lin Feng was indeed not the eighth Chaotic Hallowed Venerable. The position of Hallowed Venerable had long been predestined.

Even if the Chaotic Perfected Deities fought to the death, it was useless.

Back then, Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile was only a top-notch Perfected Deity. Even he himself found it a little baffling. The Chaotic Origin Stone, which those powerful top-notch Perfected Deities fought over, ended up in his hands. Moreover, he quickly found himself compatible with the Supreme Rule in the Chaotic Origin Stone, and became a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.

Wasn't this predestined?

…

When Lin Feng visited Hallowed Venerable Styx, the seven Hallowed Venerables quickly communicated. Some Hallowed Venerables were very regretful. They all thought very highly of Lin Feng. However, some Hallowed Venerables were very calm, and even a little happy.

The Chaotic Origin Stone was in the possession of Lin Feng, the Hallowed Lord. Naturally, no one dared to fight for it.

However, since Lin Feng was not the Chaotic Hallowed Venerable, this Chaotic Origin Stone would naturally be passed down. At that time, the disciples or family and friends of the Hallowed Venerables would all have a chance.

As for whether Lin Feng might not bear to part with the Chaotic Origin Stone? That was impossible. Since Lin Feng had personally come to visit Hallowed Venerable Primum Mobile, he must already be prepared.

Moreover, the Hallowed Venerables would also pay close attention to the development of the situation. If there was really no other way, the seven Hallowed Venerables would also interfere. How could Lin Feng, the only Hallowed Lord in the Chaos, dare to contend with the seven Hallowed Venerables?

Walls have ears. This was especially the case when some Chaotic Hallowed Venerables deliberately leaked the news to their disciples or family and friends. The news quickly spread throughout the Chaos.

"Is the Hallowed Lord really prepared to release the Chaotic Origin Stone?"

"I heard that the Hallowed Venerables have already confirmed that the Hallowed Lord is indeed not compatible with the Supreme Rule. In other words, the Hallowed Lord cannot become a Hallowed Venerable!"

"It's a pity that so many died in that great battle hundreds of years ago, which established the Hallowed Lord's reputation of invincibility. It was for the sake of competing for the Chaotic Origin Stone, but in the end, it wound up benefiting someone else."

"What a pity. However famed the Hallowed Lord is, what is the use? If he's not compatible with the Supreme Rule, he can only remain a Hallowed Lord forever, and can't become a Hallowed Venerable."

"All below Hallowed Venerables are insignificant. Even the Hallowed Lord is no exception. If he can't become a Hallowed Venerable, all the previous hard work would be in vain…"

Some lamented, some expressed regret, and some rejoiced.

That battle back then established the invincible reputation of Hallowed Lord Lin Feng. The Mutual Assistance Alliance also developed into the top faction in the entire Chaos overnight.

Countless Perfected Deities had fought to join. It was because they were sure that Lin Feng could become a Hallowed Venerable, and they could take up advantageous positions once Lin Feng established the holy city of Chaos.

But now, those opportunists were all filled with regret.

On the other hand, others were eagerly preparing to act. Once the Chaotic Origin Stone was released, there would definitely be another bloody battle.

…

In the Holy City Styx, Perfected Deity Eventide opened her eyes.

Just now, she had received a message from Hallowed Venerable Styx and learned the truth.

"The Hallowed Lord is not compatible with the Supreme Rule?"

Perfected Deity Eventide had originally completely given up on that trace of hope in her heart, but she did not expect that hope would come again. However, when she thought of how the famed and imposing Hallowed Lord from back then had a treasure trove, yet could not obtain the treasures within now, she had a complicated feeling.

"Alas, Hallowed Lord, you're extremely talented, but what's the use? The position of Hallowed Venerable is predestined. One's will cannot sway it at all…"

Perfected Deity Eventide even thought of her senior, Perfected Deity Easterly. Back then, he was also extremely talented, but what then? He still died an unnatural death, and did not even have the chance to reincarnate and cultivate again.

The position of the Hallowed Venerable was not determined by talent or strength. The most important thing was opportunity!

…

Perfected Deity Ziji also received this news.

However, he was much more composed. His master had also told him some of the mysteries of the Chaotic Origin Stone. The position of Hallowed Lord was predestined. Thinking about how even Lin Feng, the invincible Hallowed Lord, had worked for someone else's benefit, and had no choice but to "give up" the Chaotic Origin Stone in his possession, Ziji was filled with emotions.

"Heh, if one can't become a Hallowed Venerable, they're ultimately insignificant…"

Perfected Deity Ziji suddenly felt a little sorry for Hallowed Lord Lin Feng. Back then, the Hallowed Lord was peerless and domineering. His title as the Hallowed Lord was enough to dominate an era!

Even those Chaotic hallowed beasts did not dare to be impudent. This was all based on his own strength, rather than the reputation of the Hallowed Venerables!

Although Chaotic Hallowed Venerables were terrifying, the Hallowed Lord was even more respectable!

The Hallowed Lord was already the peak of what cultivators could attain by relying on themselves. Even Perfected Deity Ziji admired him greatly, and saw him as his role model.

But so what?

In the eyes of Hallowed Venerables, he was still insignificant.

If they wanted him to give up on the Chaotic Origin Stone, he had to. Otherwise, if the Hallowed Venerables interfered, what could the Invincible Hallowed Lord Lin Feng do?

As long as one could not become a Hallowed Venerable, they would always be insignificant!

Perfected Deity Ziji did not know what Hallowed Lord Lin Feng would do, but if he were the Hallowed Lord, it would be rather difficult for him as well. How sad was it to have to hand over the Chaotic Origin Stone he personally guarded unconditionally?

Even the Hallowed Lord could not control his own fate, let alone Perfected Deities like them.

For a moment, Perfected Deity Ziji was also a little infatuated. He did not even have a plan to fight for the Chaotic Origin Stone next.

…

"Alliance Leader, I've served in the Mutual Assistance Alliance for hundreds of years, and felt very incapable. Please approve my departure, Alliance Leader."

"Alliance Leader, I'd like to return to my hometown too…"

"Alliance Leader, I'm really sorry. I want to quit the alliance too…"

One Perfected Deity after another shamelessly came to bid farewell to Lin Feng and leave the Mutual Assistance Alliance. This was also allowed by the rules. Back then, the rules of the Mutual Assistance Alliance stated that one could join and quit freely.

However, once they quit, they would never be allowed to join again!

These Perfected Deities had clearly also received the news. They knew that Lin Feng would never be able to become a Hallowed Venerable, so they quit the alliance directly, adding insult to injury.

Yuan Zhenggang was incomparably furious and upset. He shouted, "You… You all had better think it through. Even if a Hallowed Lord can't become a Hallowed Venerable, he's still the esteemed Hallowed Lord!"

"We just wanted to get a head start in the holy city of Chaos. From the looks of it, our wish can't be fulfilled. Hallowed Lord, please approve our request."

These Perfected Deities were still unmoved. They were opportunistic to begin with, and aimed to occupy some advantageous positions in the eighth holy city of Chaos. Now that Lin Feng could not become a Hallowed Venerable, they were naturally unwilling to waste time staying in the Mutual Assistance Alliance.

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Approved."

"Thank you, Hallowed Lord!"

For a moment, countless Perfected Deities eagerly left the Mutual Assistance Alliance. The huge Mutual Assistance Alliance actually appeared a little quiet.

Yuan Zhenggang and Perfected Lord Long looked at Alliance Leader Lin Feng. They even vaguely sensed that the thin figure of their Alliance Leader, the dignified Hallowed Lord, also appeared a little desolate at this moment.
