Fang Jian took the teapot from the boy beside him and said with a smile, "If you don't want to answer, then don't answer. Why are you so angry? Don't let your old bones get hurt."

Taishang Laojun's face darkened and he asked, "Are you here to ask for advice, or to cause trouble?"

"Hahaha." Fang Jian laughed loudly, then cupped his hands and said, "Then please tell me the origins of these Chaos Demons."

The Supreme Lord thought for a moment, then stroked his beard and said, "Chaos."

"Chaos?" Fang Jian frowned. "The chaos outside this world?"

"Who else could there be?" Taishang Laojun nodded and said, "Chaos also has its own will, just like the Way of Heaven. The Three Realms in this world are constantly expanding, and the will of Chaos is about to strike back."

"The Chaos Will strikes back?" Fang Jian frowned. "But why hasn't the Chaos Evil God appeared before?"

Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "Because the Investiture of the Gods was published, it awakened the will of chaos. Where there is good, there is evil. Where there are 'good gods', there will also be 'evil gods'. This is the way of nature."

Fang Jian asked, "How could the Goddess Nuwa of the Heavenly Dao allow these evil gods to enter the three realms of the mortal world?"

Taishang Laojun said: "Where did the present world come from? Wasn't it created from the chaos? Therefore, the present world already contains the power of chaos. As long as the will of chaos awakens, the chaotic power in the present world will become the Chaos Evil God."

Fang Jian asked again, "Then how do we deal with these Chaos Evil Gods?"

"This..." Taishang Laojun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Hmm?" Fang Jian looked at Taishang Laojun with a puzzled look on his face when he heard this.

Taishang Laojun asked, "Does Emperor Hongqing have any doubts?"

Fang Jian said, "First of all, it's not that I don't trust you, Laojun, but as the Supreme Lord, don't you even know how to deal with the Chaos Evil God?"

The Supreme Lord said, "Emperor Hongqing, you are obsessed. I am the Supreme Lord, but that doesn't mean I know everything. I am not very clear about the affairs of the Chaos Evil God. Perhaps you can ask the Goddess Nuwa for advice."

Fang Jian said, "That Chaos Evil God can summon the power of chaos, and even my innate spiritual treasure can resist it."

The Supreme Lord Lao said: "Chaos is the 'source of all things'. It is not surprising that the power of chaos can resist the innate spiritual treasure."

"However," Taishang Laojun looked at Fang Jian and said, "This Chaos Evil God is extremely dangerous, because the soul of the person being sacrificed will completely disappear."

"Completely disappeared?" Fang Jian's expression was stern.

Taishang Laojun nodded and said, "Yes, completely disappeared. I speculate that the power that the Chaos Evil God gained from 'sacrifice' is a process of 'returning to its origin.'"

"Please give me some advice, Laojun." Fang Jian said seriously with a bow.

The Supreme Lord Laojun said, "When living beings are sacrificed, it is a process of 'annihilation,' and after annihilation, it becomes 'the power of chaos,' which may be the source of the Chaos Evil God's power."

"I see." Fang Jian said, "In other words, the sacrificed soul will completely disappear and return to chaos?"

The Supreme Lord Laozi nodded and said, "Indeed, those Taoist disciples of Xuanming Temple completely disappeared after being sacrificed. There is no trace of their existence in the Three Realms of the World."

Hearing this, Fang Jian felt extremely heavy-hearted. "So, this Chaos Evil God will be the greatest threat to the Three Realms in the history of this world?"

"That's right." Taishang Laojun said, "No one knows the upper limit of their power. Will it pose a threat to the Great Luo Jinxian? If that's the case..."

Fang Jian saw that Taishang Laojun's words suddenly stopped, and immediately asked, "What will happen if that happens?"

Taishang Laojun smiled and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, Emperor Hongqing, regarding the matter of the Chaos Evil God, it would be better for you to consult Nuwa."

Fang Jian looked at him doubtfully, then nodded and said, "I'll go."

After saying this, Fang Jian picked up the teacup and drank the spiritual tea in it. Then he stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Laojun. Fang Jian will take his leave."

The Supreme Lord also stood up and said, "This old Taoist priest will send the Emperor Hongqing off."

Afterwards, Taishang Laojun escorted Fang Jian out of the Tushita Palace. Before Fang Jian left, he said, "Emperor Hongqing, you must prepare quickly. Now that the Chaos Evil God has appeared, there must be a large number of Chaos Evil Gods hiding in various places in the Three Realms. If we don't eliminate them in time, after they have accepted a large number of sacrifices, I am afraid it will be a great disaster."

Fang Jian looked at Taishang Laojun and said, "Under this situation, what will Taoism and Buddhism choose?"

"That depends on what decision Emperor Hongqing makes next." Taishang Laojun said, stroking his long beard.

Fang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Next, I have to go to a meeting first."

Fang Jian's meeting will be held in Mount Tai. The participants include Fang Jian, Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong, the Emperor of Dongyue, the Emperor of Fengdu, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Six Guardians of Luofeng, the Four Judges, and a number of major gods from the underworld.

The meeting place was in the main hall of the Taishan Imperial Palace. On the day of the meeting, Tang Yu and other heavenly generals led the heavenly soldiers to block the area where the Taishan Imperial Palace was located. No mortal, cultivator, or immortal was allowed to approach without permission.

In the main hall, Fang Jian sat on the throne in the center. He looked at the various emperors and gods seated respectfully in the hall and said, "Today's Taishan Palace meeting will mainly discuss one matter."

Fang Jian's gaze fell on the Fengdu Emperor, who was standing next to the Dongyue Emperor on his lower right side, and he immediately said, "That's about the discussion and handling of the many issues concerning the underworld."

The King of Fengdu looked up, and the Ten Kings of Hell, the Six Heavenly Kings of Luofeng, the Four Judges, the Ten Yin Marshals, the Goddess Mengpo and other righteous gods were all shocked. They all sat up straight and looked ahead.
