Chapter 429 The Demon Ancestor's Recruitment! Refusal?
Just as Niu Ben was pondering, Luo Hou's gaze sharpened, and he smiled at him, saying:
"What's wrong?"
"Kid, you look pretty surprised?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Luo Hou with a wary expression.
"Luo Hou's strength is almost on par with that of Dao Ancestor."
"They weren't after the Saint's Crystal I possessed."
After thinking about it for a moment, Niu Ben asked:
"Why does the Demon Ancestor block my path?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's question, Luo Hou did not rush to answer. Instead, he scrutinized Niu Ben with a full gaze.
After looking him over for a while, he finally spoke:
"Niu Ben" (牛犇).
"You're pretty good, kid."
Seeing Luo Hou praise him right away, Niu Ben's doubts only deepened, and he asked in return:
"Demon Ancestor, you're blocking my path at this time; you can't just be here to praise me, can you?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's question, Luo Hou burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
"Niu Ben, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you anymore."
"I have come to see you today because I have something to discuss with you."
At this point, Luo Hou paused slightly, then smiled meaningfully before adding:
"I have seen your background, strength, and opportunities."
"Of all the so-called saint-level beings in the primordial world today, you are the only one worthy of my attention."
"The Way of Hongjun, though bound by the Way of Heaven, is itself a self-imposed constraint. It appears transcendent, but in reality, it is limited by Heaven and Earth and will eventually come to an end."
"The way of raising one's eyebrows is to roam freely in a carefree space, detached from worldly affairs, and thus unlikely to achieve great things."
"Only my way, which proves destruction through slaughter and seeks transcendence through plunder, is the ultimate truth of chaos and the true path of the Great Dao!"
"You bear the legacy of chaos and harbor a will to destroy; you are destined to follow my path."
As he spoke, Rahu took a step into the void in front of him.
"Boom boom..."
Although it did not deliberately release its pressure, the ancient and domineering destructive aura originating from the Chaos God caused the surrounding space and time to hum.
Then, his gaze fixed intently on Niu Ben, and he said again:
"Join my ranks."
"I can bestow upon you the true essence of the Great Dao of Destruction. When I regain control of the universe and overturn the primordial order, you will be the supreme ruler of all demons, second only to me!"
"At that time, even the Heavenly Dao and that old man Hongjun will be trampled underfoot!"
What do you think?
Luo Hou valued Niu Ben highly.
In this primordial world, among the seven great beings at the Grand Luo level, only Niu Ben could catch his eye.
Moreover, he and Yang Mei had secretly observed the earlier great war between the Primordial World and the Devouring Universe Realm.
Even the combined might of the six supreme primordial saints was no match for the Holy Ancestor of the Devouring Universe Realm, and they were nearly killed by the Holy Ancestor.
At the critical moment, it was Niu Ben who stepped forward and, with his cultivation as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, withstood the Holy Ancestor's attack, thus saving the Six Primordial Saints, which shows that Niu Ben's strength was not weak.
In addition, Niu Ben possesses two innate treasures, indicating that his opportunities are extraordinary.
That's why Luo Hou had the idea to recruit Niu Ben to his side and conspire with him to transcend!
As soon as Luo Hou uttered these words, Niu Ben's heart trembled.
He had considered many possibilities before.
But to his surprise, Rahu blocked his path to recruit him.
Niu Ben knew about Luo Hou; he was a peerless demon who had once fought against Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
In order to achieve enlightenment through killing, he did not hesitate to sow discord among the three ancient races, causing a great war between the dragon, phoenix, and qilin.
Subsequently, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, together with a group of innate great beings, fought against him at Mount Sumeru in the west.
That battle damaged the spiritual veins of the West, plunging it into poverty.
That is why Heaven owes something to the West. So when Jieyin and Zhunti established the Western religion and became saints, their merits were insufficient, which is why they were able to successfully borrow merits from Heaven!
After the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic Path, Rahu disappeared without a trace.
Some say it perished in that great battle, while others say it escaped to the chaotic outer realms.
Previously, Luo Hou and Yang Mei appeared together in the Devouring Universe Realm, which naturally made Niu Ben aware that Luo Hou had not perished, but was hiding in the chaotic void.
"The conditions offered by Rahu are quite good."
"Make me the ruler of all demons?"
"His ambitions are also quite large; he actually wants to control the world."
Niu Ben pondered to himself.
Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[A recruitment notice from Demon Ancestor Rahu has been detected, triggering a God-level selection quest!]
[Option 1: Agree to Luo Hou's request, join his camp, accept the demonic inheritance, and participate in the plot to overthrow the primordial world.]
[Quest Reward: 1 Fragment of a Primordial Treasure]
Option Two: Reject Rahu's offer of recruitment, remain steadfast in your own principles, and refuse to compromise your principles.
[Quest Reward: Chaos Demon God's Essence Blood x3]
[Note: The Chaos Demon God's essence blood distributed by the system has random attributes and contains the Chaos Demon God's original Dao principles and immense energy.]
"Um?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Niu Ben was taken aback.
I never expected that the God-level Choice System would be triggered at this time.
"A fragment of a supreme innate treasure?"
"This thing is of no use to me now."
Niu Ben's mind raced; he now possessed two innate treasures.
The desire for innate treasures is no longer as urgent as it once was.
However, it was the essence blood of the Chaos Demon God that Niu Ben longed for.
It can not only be used to enhance its strength, but also to create clones.
After a moment's consideration, a resolute glint flashed in Niu Ben's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.
Seeing that Niu Ben hadn't replied for a long time, Luo Hou glanced at him slightly and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong?"
Is it really that hard to choose?
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben snapped out of his daze, glanced at Luo Hou with neither servility nor arrogance, and then replied:
"I am unworthy of the Demon Ancestor's favor."
"However, those who follow different paths cannot work together."
"My path, though it began in chaos, has been practiced throughout the primordial world, protecting the beings of this realm and proving its own path."
"The path of the Demon Ancestor, though domineering and unparalleled, is not what my heart desires."
"I, Niu Ben, can only decline this offer of recruitment."
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Luo Hou's expression immediately turned cold and stern.
"What did you say?"
He stared intently at Niu Ben, never expecting that Niu Ben would actually refuse his offer to recruit him.
In Luo Hou's view, taking the initiative to find Niu Ben was already giving Niu Ben a great deal of face, as Niu Ben was a Demon Ancestor who was on par with the Dao Ancestor.
Although Niu Ben has already attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal, he is still quite far from reaching the Heavenly Dao level.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Rahu became.
The expectation that had been lingering on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and stern expression.
Seeing that Luo Hou's aura had become cold and sharp, Niu Ben frowned slightly, gathering the power of the Chaotic Divine Ox within his body, ready to fight Luo Hou at any time.
