Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 396: The Vow Power of All Beings, I Am the Lord of the Universe!

"Seize the Chaos Universe!"

Gu Chuan couldn't help but clench his fist to stabilize his thoughts.

To be honest, taking over the Chaos Universe is extremely difficult. One must possess powerful mental energy to suppress the instincts of the Chaos Universe, then merge their will into it—so that the Chaos Universe becomes one with their body, forming an inseparable part of themselves.

However, this process is incredibly challenging. Almost no Universe Lord has successfully suppressed the Chaos Universe's instincts. Even the slightest resistance can trigger overwhelming destructive power.

Even though Gu Chuan is a native of the Chaos Universe, it doesn't guarantee he can suppress its instincts completely.

If anything goes wrong, he could suffer severe injuries.

But Gu Chuan had long anticipated this. In fact, he had already come up with a second method: since the Chaos Universe's instinct can't be forcibly suppressed, then it can be deceived.

After all, the Chaos Universe lacks true consciousness. It only functions based on instinct. So, why not deceive its origin—make it believe he is its own will?

This wouldn't be possible for other Universe Lords.

But Gu Chuan is different. He is a native son of the Chaos Universe, deeply connected to its origin. They share the same lineage, giving him a high chance of success.

Moreover, he has mastered a Supreme Supranatural Technique—True Lie, a spell that allows him to blur the line between truth and falsehood. His mastery of illusion has reached a point where even reality becomes confused.

The combination of both factors greatly boosts his chances of success.

"It's time."

With that thought, Gu Chuan did not hesitate. He immediately cast the Supreme Supernatural Power—True Lie.

"I am the Universe, and the Universe is me!"

Clatter~~~

In an instant, these grand words manifested as golden and jade-like inscriptions, forming a Law of the Dao, imbued with unimaginable power.

Especially since Gu Chuan had already comprehended the Dao of Fate, mastered the Three Thousand Daos, and ascended to the Realm of the Lord of the Universe, the spell had reached Doomsday Level.

The moment he spoke those words, he seemed to become the entire universe itself. His immense soul power silently merged into the Origin of the Chaos Universe.

Rumble~~~

At the same time, endless streams of information poured madly into the depths of the Chaos Universe's origin.

Gu Chuan took the chance to implant a message into the Chaos Universe: that he was its original will—causing it to mistakenly believe he was the Chaos Universe itself.

He simply had an "accident" which made the will disappear temporarily.

Now, it was time for the will to return—a moment called the Return of the Gods.

Gradually, with the continuous infusion of information, the Chaos Universe's resistance weakened significantly, and its repulsive force diminished—replaced by a friendly presence.

The Origin of Chaos even took the initiative to fuse its origin energy with Gu Chuan's soul.

"It worked... just as I expected."

Gu Chuan was ecstatic. He had simulated this moment countless times. Although the success rate was high, no one could predict what might actually occur.

But now, the real process had begun. He was truly seizing control of the Chaos Universe—and the smoothness of the process was beyond even his expectations, as if it was destined.

"No... not quite. It's still missing something."

After some time, Gu Chuan's soul had merged about one-third of the way into the Chaos Universe's origin—but suddenly, the process stopped.

No matter how he urged the power of True Lie, he could not deceive the Chaos Universe any further. The progress had stalled, frozen at one-third.

If this problem wasn't solved, the seizure would fail.

"It seems my strength alone isn't enough. I must rely on the power of all beings."

A light flashed in Gu Chuan's eyes. He had foreseen this issue as well. It was simply too difficult to seize the Chaos Universe by relying solely on his newly gained power as a Universe Master.

To succeed, he needed the power of all living beings.

What is the universe, if not all living beings? Their collective vows form the universe.

When all life perishes, so too does the universe. They are inseparable.

Therefore, to be acknowledged by all living beings is to be acknowledged by the origin of the Chaos Universe. That is what makes one the true Lord of the Universe.

It's like being elevated to the throne of an emperor by countless subjects—only then is rulership justified.

If it were any other Universe Master, this would be impossible. Gaining the recognition of all life and beings within the infinite expanse of the Chaos Universe is nearly unthinkable.

After all, the number of races and creatures is beyond count.

True acknowledgment cannot be forced. If it doesn't come from the heart, then even coercion is useless.

Thus, one cannot use threats or killing to force acceptance.

But Gu Chuan is different.

He rose from the Era of Chaos, preaching the Dao three times during those Chaos World. He was called the Teacher of the Demon Gods, paving the path of cultivation for them—and has earned their sincere reverence.

Later, he led the gods in resisting the Doomsday, founded Chaos City, and saved countless lives.

Now, the heavens and myriad realms were co-created by him and the gods. He was the Master of the Gods—and all beings were eternally grateful.

If even he could not gain the recognition of all living beings—then no one could.

"I am the Lord of the Universe. I rule over Chaos. I am eternal, immortal. Who dares to defy me?!"

At that very moment, Gu Chuan invoked the Sound of the Dao.

In an instant, countless beings across the heavens and myriad worlds—whether meditating, sleeping, or fighting—suddenly heard the sound of the Heavenly Dao echo from the depths of their Sea of Consciousness.

Then, within their consciousness, a Primordial Ancient Serpent appeared, radiating an aura of eternity, chaos, divinity, and timelessness—like a God of Creation.

"It's the City Lord."

"He is the Demon God who created the heavens and all realms."

"The City Lord is the Lord of the Universe? Of course! Who could possibly object?"

"Who else dares to claim the title, if not the City Lord?"

"We have no objections."

In that instant, whether it was a Chaos Demon God or any ordinary being, all recognized Gu Chuan from the depths of their soul.

Clatter~~

A second later, the voices of all living beings resonated in unison, forming a Chaos Dao Sound—all of which surged back into the Origin of Chaos.

Then, the endless vows of all beings, like an ocean tide, poured madly into the deepest core of the Primordial Chaos Origin.
