There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 258 Chaos Creates Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang Transform All Things

After explaining the whole story to Bixie, Bixie finally breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully his younger brother hadn't been kidnapped by Haochen.

But soon, Bixie realized what was happening and looked at Tianlu with a reproachful expression: "Tianlu, I'm not trying to be mean, but Haochen is injured, how could you still be thinking of taking food from him!"

Pi Xie thought to himself, if Tian Lu hadn't pulled this stunt, he wouldn't have been playing around with Hao Chen, and he wouldn't have misunderstood that Hao Chen wanted to kidnap his younger brother.

Hao Chen thought that Bi Xie was standing up for him, so he winked at Tian Lu and said, "That's right, Tian Lu, it's all your fault that Bi Xie misunderstood us."

"What?!" Tianlu pouted, glaring back at Haochen with a defiant look: "Those golden balls clearly belong to Rabbit Lord, and it was you, Haochen, who took them from Rabbit Lord. What's wrong with me eating a few bites?"

"..." Hao Chen was shocked, his face full of disbelief: "Tian Lu, how did you know? I didn't let this slip, did I?"

But as soon as he said it, Hao Chen realized something was wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

Seeing the Rabbit God walking towards him, Hao Chen guiltily turned his head away, his heart pounding with panic: "Damn it, I completely forgot the Rabbit God was still here! How am I going to explain this?!"

Just as Hao Chen's mind was still racing, Rabbit Lord grabbed him and lifted him up: "You good-for-nothing Hao Chen, I was wondering why my statue was gone all of a sudden. Turns out you took it. Give it back to me now."

"Don't rush, Mr. Rabbit. Put me down first. Don't worry, I won't run away."

Hao Chen noticed that Bixie, Tianlu, and Qixiang were all looking at him. He couldn't help but swallow hard and forced a smile.

At the same time, Hao Chen whispered to Rabbit Lord in a voice only they could hear, "Rabbit Lord, are you sure you want me to take out the statues now? You don't want the Qilin to see those statues, do you?"

Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, Rabbit Lord's pupils constricted sharply. He glanced at the Qilin without leaving a trace, and then released Hao Chen.

Seeing this, Hao Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he should be able to fool them this time.

But the next moment, Rabbit whispered in Hao Chen's ear, "Come to my house tonight."

Hao Chen helplessly rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly exhausted.

Normally, if Rabbit Lord invited Hao Chen to his house, Hao Chen would definitely go over eagerly, after all, who could refuse Rabbit Lord, this giant, fluffy creature?

But at this moment, Rabbit Lord's invitation was no less than a hot potato in Hao Chen's eyes, because Rabbit Lord clearly had no intention of giving up on getting Hao Chen to return the statue of the four-legged creature.

What Hao Chen wanted to say was that he had deliberately shrunk those statues and hidden them in his tail to make them easier to collect.

Unfortunately, Tianlu discovered it, and now almost all the statues have been eaten, so even if Haochen wanted to return them, he couldn't.

"Wait a minute?" Suddenly, Hao Chen realized something. How did Tian Lu recognize that the golden balls he was eating came from Rabbit God? After all, Tian Lu had found those golden balls in his tail.

Looking around, I found that Rabbit God was explaining the statue to the Four-Faced Beast, while Bixie had disappeared again.

"Great opportunity!" Hao Chen quickly pulled Tian Lu to a corner.

"What's wrong with Haochen?" Tianlu asked nervously, wondering if Haochen wanted him to spit out the golden ball.

Fortunately, Hao Chen saw through Tian Lu's thoughts: "Don't worry, Tian Lu, since you've already eaten all of Rabbit Lord's golden statues, I won't make you spit them out again."

"That's good." Hearing Haochen's assurance, Tianlu patted his chest, finally relieved.

But soon, Tianlu frowned: "Haochen, since you didn't ask me to return the golden ball to you, what do you want from me?"

"Tianlu, let me ask you, how did you know those golden balls belonged to Rabbit God? After all, I don't remember that Rabbit God's name was written on them." Haochen asked the question that had been on his mind, not wanting to make the same mistake again.

"So that's what you're asking about." Tianlu raised his chin smugly upon hearing this: "It's very simple. I smelled the Rabbit God's scent on those golden balls, and these golden balls tasted exactly the same as the ones I ate at the Rabbit God's house last time."

"That's it?!" Hao Chen blinked, looking incredulous.

Hao Chen was wondering if Tian Lu had seen him, or if there were marks on the statues that he hadn't noticed, but he never expected that the smell would betray him.

Seeing Hao Chen's stunned expression, Tian Lu laughed unkindly.

After figuring out the reason, Haochen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that as long as he paid attention, there wouldn't be any problems in the future.

Just then, Rabbit Lord finished explaining things to Four-Faced Beast. Although he still received a loving kick from Four-Faced Beast in the end, it was enough to appease Four-Faced Beast.

"Alright, Haochen, you've been sleeping for so many days, you must be starving. Let's go eat first." The four-legged creature made the final decision, effectively putting the Golden Ball incident behind them.

"Yay, dinner's ready!" For Tianlu, nothing is more important than eating.

Upon hearing that dinner was served, he immediately abandoned Hao Chen and ran downstairs. Hao Chen also hurriedly left, feeling somewhat uncomfortable standing next to Rabbit.

When Hao Chen arrived downstairs and saw Di Ting and Bai Ze sitting and drinking tea, he was stunned: "Bai Ze, Di Ting, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze immediately rolled his eyes at Hao Chen: "Why do you think we're here?"

"..." Hao Chen was a little embarrassed, thinking that he had promised so readily, but it had been dragged on until now.

But when he thought of the gifts of Yin and Yang in the chaotic space, Hao Chen patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, I already have a way."

"That's good." Bai Ze also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Who would want to die if they could live?

But soon, Hao Chen realized that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He didn't know what to talk about with Bai Ze and the others, so they just stared at each other.

As for the situation outside, Hao Chen felt there was no need to ask. If the outside world still existed, Bai Ze and Di Ting probably wouldn't be at the Deer Man's Shop.

Just as Hao Chen was thinking about what topic to talk about, the strange voice suddenly came over: "Okay, Hao Chen, stop looking and come eat."

……

Before long, the small deer-man shop was packed with beasts, except for the Qilin, Rabbit God, Tianlu, Bai Ze, and Di Ting.

Hao Chen also met the Four-Unlikes, Bixie, Seventy-Seven, Walnut Fortune, War Tiger Oleander, and Xiangtai Musang.

As for Bach, Balingjun and the others, Cat Tears and Panhu, they did not appear in the Deer Man's shop.

Hao Chen felt very depressed during the meal, and the other two also buried their heads in their food and didn't say a word the whole time.

Even because there weren't enough chairs, Tianlu and Bixie were made to sit on the ground and eat, without making a fuss.

"What's wrong with you all, you four-legged creatures? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Hao Chen frowned, a sudden panic rising in his heart. He had been perfectly normal in the room just moments ago, so how could things have turned out like this?

"Sigh!" Bai Ze sighed, "Hao Chen, it seems the time has been moved up."

"What do you mean, 'early'?" Hao Chen had a bad feeling.

"A cataclysmic calamity!" Bai Ze said calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

The next moment, Walnut suddenly hugged the Four-Faced Beast and burst into tears: "Waaah~ Four-Faced Beast, Walnut doesn't want to disappear, Walnut still wants to stay with Fuzai, we haven't found our mom and dad yet."

"Walnut, don't cry. We are just illusions after all, and illusions will eventually disappear." The four-legged creature picked up Walnut and gently comforted her.

But these words sounded so harsh to Hao Chen.

Hao Chen grabbed Bai Ze's shoulder, his pupils bloodshot: "Tell me, what do Walnut and the Four-Unlikes mean by that? What illusion?"

"You don't have much time left!" Bai Ze repeated.

Suddenly, Hao Chen felt a blur before his eyes, and then he saw Zhan Hu and Oleander's bodies begin to become illusory.

Immediately afterwards, Zhanhu and Oleander shattered like illusions, but Rabbit Lord standing next to them did not react at all, as if he had not seen anything.

"This..." Hao Chen felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at this bizarre scene.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, Hao Chen burst into unrestrained laughter. Looking at the figures of the four unlike creatures, a resolute glint flashed in Hao Chen's eyes.

“Who says you are an illusion? The place where I stand is real.”

As he finished speaking, the source within Hao Chen's body began to vibrate, and a terrifying aura rose from his body.

In that instant, the principles of Yin and Yang manifested, forming a great sun and a bright moon, rising and falling behind Hao Chen.

The sacred power of the sun and the sacred power of the moon collided, causing chaos in the earth, fire, water, and wind, disrupting the laws of heaven and earth, and giving birth to a chaotic energy at the center of the collision.

boom……

In an instant, the void around Hao Chen began to shatter, and even the Deer Man Shop and the Four-Unlikes disappeared in a flash.

Despite the darkness all around, Hao Chen remained completely calm.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, borrow the laws of Qiankun!" Hao Chen shouted loudly. The myriad laws of Qiankun appeared before him, which Hao Chen grabbed and refined into his body.

With the blessing of the myriad laws of heaven and earth, Hao Chen's aura became even more powerful, and the image of Chen Ying creating this divine dreamland appeared in his eyes.

A divine image appeared behind Hao Chen, containing the two sacred powers of Yin and Yang, which were both opposing and unified, constantly colliding and intertwining.

Terrifying energy was overflowing, and wisps of chaotic energy were spreading from the center of the divine diagram.

"In the beginning of chaos, heaven and earth were separated, and yin and yang began to transform, giving rise to all things."

Hao Chen stretched out his claws and made a grasping motion, and the divine image behind him transformed into a giant axe that appeared in his claws.

"Open up for me!" Hao Chen wielded his giant axe and chopped it down forcefully.

"Rumble..."

Hao Chen's aura soared into the sky, causing the void to surge like a monstrous wave, and the rich Yin-Yang holy power completely illuminated this area.

The axe light carried an indescribable aura, tearing the void in two.

The pure air rises and the turbid air sinks, as if a myth is being recreated, a vast world is being opened up and evolved.

At this moment, Hao Chen sensed a mighty force that spanned the past, present, and future and suppressed all the heavens appearing in this newly created world, making this world seem to have been accelerated.

The sun, moon, and stars manifested in the sky, the myriad paths of heaven and earth reappeared, and all things and spirits were born.

One by one, divine beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and qilin appeared. Hao Chen, like a creator, watched the world evolve and fell into a state of enlightenment.

No one knows how much time passed—perhaps a moment, perhaps millions of years—but when Hao Chen came to his senses, he had already reappeared in the Deer Man's shop.

It felt like a dream, but Hao Chen knew clearly that it wasn't a dream, because he could feel the world breathing in and out, as if it were connected to his blood.

Just then, Sibuxiang, along with Bixie, Tianlu, and Qishiqi, walked up to Haochen. Sibuxiang nudged Haochen and said, "Little Coal Ball, what are you thinking about? Come and play with us!"

"Okay!" Hao Chen looked at the Four-Faced Beast, reached out and touched its face with his paw. The familiar warmth told Hao Chen that the Four-Faced Beast was not an illusion.

"Four-Unlikes, what did you just call me? Could you say it again?"

"Little Coal Ball!" Hao Chen liked the name he had given the little coal ball, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips, his eyes narrowing happily.

Hao Chen hadn't heard the Four-Faced Beast call him "Little Coal Ball" in a long time, and he was just as happy to hear it again.

Even as Bixie stared in shock, Haochen jumped up, grabbed Sibuxiang's neck, and planted a kiss on its cheek.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, Haotian looked down at his hands, then glanced around the Heavenly Court. Seeing that all the gods were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had made the right bet.
