Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 200: The Great Light of Merit

"What happened?!"

In an instant, every Demon God in Chaos City witnessed the phenomenon. They looked up at the sky and saw endless golden light descending, shrouding the entire area as if turning it into a divine realm of golden radiance.

A grand and ancient aura permeated the air, resonating with the profound echoes of the Great Dao, as if celestial gongs and drums were being struck in unison.

"The Light of Merit... This is the Light of Merit! Who has obtained such an immense amount of it?"

Several younger Chaos Demon Gods widened their eyes in disbelief. Being relatively new to the world, they had only heard of the Light of Merit in legends, never having seen its actual manifestation.

Even the beings of various chaos races were stunned. They had read about the Light of Merit in ancient texts but never witnessed it firsthand. To them, it had always been an unattainable miracle.

It was said that even the most powerful gods could scarcely obtain a single strand of Merit Light. It was a divine reward granted only by the Source of Chaos.

"What a fuss."

An ancient Demon God squinted at the scene before him, his expression filled with disdain as he observed the astonished creatures around him. "Are you all country bumpkins? This is not the first time Chaos City has witnessed the descent of the Light of Merit. Why are you all making such a commotion?"

"Senior, this is the legendary Light of Merit! It is said that even the most powerful gods struggle to obtain even a single ray of it. But now, such an immense amount has descended—it is simply unimaginable! Is it not shocking?"

The beings of the major races were dazed. For them, this was a miracle spoken of only in the most ancient of records. Yet, before this ancient Demon God, their awe and excitement seemed like mere childish overreactions.

"Heh, do you even know where you are? This is Chaos City, the origin of all things, the gathering place of countless ancient Demon Gods. What haven't we seen before? Stop making fools of yourselves—otherwise, how can you even claim to be residents of Chaos City?"

The ancient Demon God sneered in contempt.

Many creatures felt embarrassed. Indeed, their reaction had been excessive, but who could blame them? Anyone witnessing the Light of Merit for the first time would naturally react this way.

"Senior, which Demon God has obtained this Light of Merit? How much Chaos Energy does such a massive amount contain?" some creatures asked curiously.

They could feel the vast source of Chaos Energy contained within the Light of Merit. Even a single strand of it was enough to accelerate cultivation by hundreds of thousands of years.

If they could obtain even a fraction of it, they couldn't imagine how much their cultivation would advance.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they desired it, the Light of Merit was beyond their reach.

"Is that even a question?"

The ancient Demon God rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Who else could it be? It is undoubtedly the result of an earth-shattering act performed by the Lord of Chaos City, drawing the Light of Merit to descend."

For him, this was nothing new.

As an ancient existence born in the earliest days, he had witnessed Gu Chuan preaching thrice and had remained in Chaos City ever since. He had already seen the Light of Merit descend multiple times.

At first, even he had been astonished. But now? It was just another ordinary day in Chaos City.

For the Chaos City Lord, such miracles were nothing unusual.

"So it was the Lord of Chaos City who obtained the Light of Merit. No wonder..."

The gathered beings were filled with reverence. They recalled the historical records detailing the previous instances when the Light of Merit had descended. Each time, it had been due to the actions of the Chaos City Lord.

And this time was no exception.

For the Lord of Chaos City, obtaining the Light of Merit seemed almost inevitable. It was nothing extraordinary—just another proof of his profound influence over the Chaos World.

"I wonder what the Chaos City Lord has done this time to receive such an enormous amount of Merit Light?"

A Demon God murmured in curiosity.

"There is no doubt," an ancient Demon God said in a deep voice, "that he must have accomplished something of profound significance for the Chaos World. Otherwise, the Light of Merit would not have descended. We shall know soon enough."

The surrounding Demon Gods nodded in agreement.

At this moment, in the Central Dojo, Gu Chuan stood before a black and white sphere of light. He had named it the Sphere of Karma.

Now, bathed in the great Light of Merit, the Sphere of Karma underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

The entire sphere was now infused with the Light of Merit. The densely woven Karma Threads covering it glowed with newfound brilliance, becoming more resilient and nearly indestructible.

Within the faint ripples of fate, the Sphere of Karma seemed to resonate with the invincible power of all laws. Even the power of fate itself could no longer sever these Karma Threads. They had become everlasting.

At the same time, the inner world contained within the Sphere of Karma expanded a thousandfold, surging with an overwhelming influx of primordial energy.

The Virtual World it contained grew even more tangible, filled with boundless fortune.

"I didn't expect the Light of Merit to transform it to such an extent," Gu Chuan murmured, his eyes gleaming. "With this, the Chaos Virtual Network will become even stronger, beyond resistance."

Previously, the Karma Threads generated by the Chaos Virtual Network could still be severed by those proficient in the Dao of Karma—albeit with great difficulty.

But now?

Not even a Primordial Chaos Saint, one who had mastered 1,800 Dao Laws, could sever a single thread of Karma from the Sphere of Karma.

For it had now been blessed by the Source of Chaos itself.

Anyone who attempted to cut the Karma Threads would suffer the backlash of the Source of Chaos. Even ordinary Saints would be instantly obliterated.

In addition to strengthening the Karma Threads, the Chaos Virtual Network's inner world had also expanded thousands of times over. It had undergone a profound metamorphosis, becoming vastly more real and complete.

This, in turn, accelerated the growth of the Heart World, saving an untold number of years in its natural evolution. In an instant, it had matured from its initial embryonic stage to the juvenile stage.

"This is truly a great fortune..."

Yet the transformation of the Chaos Virtual Network was not the only reward.

Within Gu Chuan's Sea of Consciousness, an immense Light of Merit had also descended upon him—far greater than any he had ever received before.

Clearly, the Source of Chaos recognized the Chaos Virtual Network as a creation far more valuable than anything Gu Chuan had previously accomplished.

Thus, an unprecedented amount of Merit Light had been bestowed upon him.

However, this was not all.

The Source of Chaos had also granted him profound insights into the Laws of the Great Dao, filling his mind with boundless knowledge.

Originally, Gu Chuan had mastered two hundred Dao Laws.

But now?

With this newfound enlightenment, he could comprehend even more.

The power of the Dao within him surged at an exponential rate, growing beyond all previous limits.
