Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 418: Saint Can’t Afford a House in Chaos City

Daode Tianzun and the others also nodded. Of course, they knew about these three major forces, but they only knew that these forces were supreme and held detached status. They had no idea just how powerful they were or who their leaders might be.

"Let's go. We'll talk as we walk,"

Reception Envoy Derwig said.

A group of people immediately stepped onto the streets of Chaos City. The roads were extremely wide, flanked by towering buildings. As they walked through the city, they felt like ants entering the kingdom of titans.

"The history of Chaos City is very long,"

Derwig continued. "Many powerful life forms live here. Most of them are gods, relatives of gods, or their followers."

In other words, Chaos City is home to countless gods and top powerhouses from all heavens and myriad worlds. This city is a place where dragons hide and tigers crouch—powerhouses gather like clouds.

At that moment, Daode Tianzun and the others looked around and noticed countless strange beings on the streets, all exuding overwhelming auras—at the very least, they were Quasi-Saints.

Besides them, there were also many Saints who occasionally walked the streets. In fact, throwing a stone in this city might just hit a Saint.

This sight was terrifying, to say the least.

You must know, in the prehistoric world, Saints were already unimaginably powerful. Yet here in Chaos City, Saints were as common as clouds in the sky—nearly worthless.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed such a thing.

"It is precisely because so many superpowers have gathered here, hailing from countless races—powerful, proud, and rebellious by nature,"

Derwig said seriously. "But they must obey the rules of Chaos City. The first rule you must remember: No fighting is allowed within Chaos City. Depending on the severity, violators will either be imprisoned or executed.

It doesn't matter who they are—a leader of a race, ruler of a world, or even a god. If they break the rules of Chaos City, they will die."

He looked at Daode Tianzun and the others with a solemn expression.

"This...!"

Daode Tianzun and the others stood straight, clearly shaken. They could feel that Derwig wasn't joking. This was the ironclad law of Chaos City, and no one—no matter how strong—was allowed to violate it.

They didn't expect even gods to be subject to these rules.

In the prehistoric world, the law of the jungle reigned supreme. Strength determined everything. No one dared to restrict the strong with rules.

But Chaos City was different.

Every law and rule implies one thing: absolute force behind it.

Without such power, laws are nothing but empty words, incapable of restraining anyone.

So for Chaos City to enforce such rules even on gods, it meant that there was a supreme force strong enough to suppress even them.

"Of course, don't worry. These rules only restrict the strong. For you little fellows, this is actually a great benefit. At the very least, you are absolutely safe in Chaos City—no god dares to kill you here.

Over time, the number of gods who dare to act violently here has become almost nonexistent. Those who dared were reduced to ashes. That's why Chaos City is so peaceful."

Derwig smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Daode Tianzun and the others nodded in agreement. Rules like these truly benefit the weak.

The strong prefer lawlessness, but the weak thrive under order.

Thinking about it, they finally felt relieved. As Quasi-Saints, it was truly suffocating to be surrounded by Saints. If even one Saint disliked them, a mere slap could erase their existence.

But thanks to these rules, they could live safely in Chaos City.

"Master Derwig, may we also live in Chaos City?"

Patriarch Styx asked, his eyes gleaming.

He could see clearly—Chaos City was a Sacred Land for cultivation. No other place could compare. If he could cultivate here for years, his Cultivation Base would rise rapidly.

"Of course. Any lifeform can live in Chaos City,"

Derwig replied with a smile. "But you must pay rent. Even for a Quasi-Saint, the rent is heart-wrenchingly high.

Of course, you can also buy real estate in the city—but houses here are astronomically expensive. Even ordinary Saints would go bankrupt trying to buy one."

"Lord Derwig, even you can't afford a house in Chaos City?"

Patriarch Kunpeng asked, shocked.

"There's no need to hide it. I really can't afford one,"

Derwig replied with a twitching mouth. "Every time I enter Chaos City, I rent. I have to pay a huge amount in rent every year."

"This...!"

Daode Tianzun and the others were stunned. Derwig was undoubtedly a Saint, and far stronger than they were. Yet even he couldn't afford a house in this city?

It was clear now—housing prices in Chaos City were frightening.

"In short, although Chaos City is vast, living here isn't easy,"

Derwig sighed. "But don't worry—for now, you don't need to pay anything. As participants selected through the Chaos Genius Competition, you are granted student residences in Chaos City.

You can live here for 100 million years, rent-free.

After that, you must move out of the temporary housing. Either you rent, buy, or leave.

This rent-free period is already a huge benefit. If converted into Chaos Coins, it would be an astronomical amount.

In fact, many cultivators are forced to leave each year because they can't afford rent. Some are even evicted from their homes."
