Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1637 - 1068 Taiyi!_2

The confidence that had previously disappeared gradually returned as the conversation deepened. There was no longer any sign of unease in their demeanor, and their faces were now filled with assurance.

"Alright, let’s do it this way!"

"If I remember correctly, in the Netherworld, due to the dispute over the ownership of the Ghost Immortal Dao, there was quite a conflict between the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and the Star Lord."

"Here on Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign has already lost once. Thus, in the Netherworld, he absolutely cannot afford another defeat."

"Therefore, he will certainly try to target Jiang Chen again. We can collaborate with him to deal a severe blow to the Star Lord in the Netherworld."

Mentioning the Netherworld, one of the Great Divine Transcendents recalled an incident from several centuries ago concerning the Ghost Immortal Dao’s ownership.

"We can give it a try. With the Kunlun Mountain seized, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign will surely be unwilling to accept defeat and will definitely take further actions."

Several other Great Divine Transcendents nodded, their confidence in defeating Jiang Chen further heightened.

"Supporting King Wu of the Human Race is equivalent to allying with those Taoist friends who have schemed against the Human Race. Supporting the Innate Spirits means allying with the local forces of the Netherworld."

"By doing this, our combined strength is no longer weak. In fact, we might even be the most powerful force in the Prehistoric World, sufficient to represent the reigning trend."

"No matter how strong the Star Lord is, could he possibly go against the tide of the era?"

The group carefully calculated, their confidence solidified. Such a powerful alliance of three forces—who in the Prehistoric World could stand against it? Even if the Witch and Demon clans returned to their peak, they would be far from matching it.

This time, it was surely stable.

"It’s not enough. If it were against anyone else—even against a Saint—our current strength would absolutely suffice."

"But we are dealing with the Star Lord, who has always acted unpredictably, and whose power is truly unfathomable. What we perceive as his upper limit might actually be his baseline."

"Or perhaps, we indeed have discerned his strength, but that is only as of now. Who’s to say he might not become even stronger in a short time?"

Therefore, although our strength is already formidable, it is still insufficient to deal with the Star Lord—we need to become even stronger.

Just as everyone was regaining their confidence, someone couldn’t help but pour cold water on their optimism.

Jiang Chen’s progress was too rapid. While the group’s current strength might be sufficient to deal with him now, who could guarantee that Jiang Chen would not continue to improve in a short period?

Such doubts might not arise for others—they would seem impossible. But for Jiang Chen, it was entirely plausible.

The further one advanced in cultivation, the slower the progression—this was an immutable truth. Yet somehow, judging from Jiang Chen’s performance, he seemed to defy conventional reasoning, forcing people to acknowledge it begrudgingly.

"There is indeed such a possibility. We cannot afford to lower our guard. But right now, do we have any way to further enhance our strength?"

"All forces that could be drawn upon have already been recruited. In other words, we have truly done everything we can—we cannot possibly become stronger."

After a long silence, the group acknowledged these words. This point had to be considered, but they indeed had no means to further improve their strength—they had already reached their limit.

"No, we haven’t reached our limit. We can still enhance our forces. Friends, don’t forget—there is still the Demon Clan."

"The Demon Clan is the mortal enemy of the Human Race. Their stance naturally aligns with ours. As long as we recruit them, they will undoubtedly cooperate with us."

A Great Divine Transcendent suddenly seemed to recall something and spoke excitedly.

"The Demon Clan?"

"You must be joking, friend. At this point in time, where would we find the Demon Clan? They were long ago eradicated by the Human Race."

"Even Kunpeng, their final remnant, has been slain by the Star Lord. For the current Demon Clan, even finding a single Innate Dao Sovereign is a problem—they hold no value for recruitment."

One Great Divine Transcendent expressed disdain. Times were no longer as they once were; the Demon Clan had truly declined. Under the oppression of the Star Lord, they were already on the brink of extinction.

"No, the Demon Clan still has the strength for one last battle. No matter how dominant the Human Race is, they do not possess a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. But the Demon Clan has two."

"As long as the Demon Clan has Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial at their helm, they will not be annihilated."

Smiling mysteriously, the Great Divine Transcendent replied.

"Friend, are you suggesting..."

The other Great Divine Transcendents seemed to grasp the implication and tentatively asked.

"Exactly—it’s as you suspect. To deal with the Star Lord, the most reliable plan is to provide him with a formidable opponent."

"In the Prehistoric World, aside from Saints, who else fits this criterion? Surely none other than Di Jun and Taiyi, who are sworn enemies of the Human Race."

"If Di Jun and Taiyi are resurrected, the Star Lord’s days of advantage will be over. He will have to focus all his efforts on defending against them, leaving him unable to deal with us."

The Great Divine Transcendent spoke excitedly, even admiring his own ingenuity for coming up with such a brilliant idea.

Resurrecting Di Jun and Taiyi—this idea was absolutely clever. It was also the most effective solution currently available to counter the Star Lord.

If the two were revived, the Star Lord’s ambition of reshaping Heaven and Earth in the Prehistoric World would be jeopardized. Even safeguarding his current domain would be uncertain.

"Indeed, this plan is clever. Resurrecting Di Jun and Taiyi has significant advantages—not only diverting the Star Lord and the Human Race’s focus but also disrupting the Star Lord’s strategies."

"The Star Lord’s plan to become the master of the Three Realms relies heavily on the Heavenly Realm. For the Star Lord, who possesses control of the Boundless Starry Sky, the Heavenly Realm is practically in his grasp—even the Taoist Ancestors cannot wrest it from him."

"But Di Jun and Taiyi can. As once-masters of the Boundless Starry Sky, the two are the greatest threat to the Star Lord."

"Granted, the Cycle of Stars is a creation of the Star Lord, and even if Di Jun and Taiyi were to exert all their might, it would be impossible for them to wrest total control of the Boundless Starry Sky from his hands."

"Yet the two, as former masters of the Boundless Starry Sky, still possess some influence over it, which could destabilize the Star Lord’s authority."

"Ultimately, this is because the Star Lord’s reconstruction of the Boundless Starry Sky is imperfect—only halfway complete. This imperfection gives Di Jun and Taiyi the chance to intervene."

"If the Star Lord were to completely reconstruct the Boundless Starry Sky, only then would Di Jun and Taiyi, as its former masters, become irrelevant relics of the past."

The proposal was immediately endorsed by the group.

At this point, they were essentially cornered, resorting to desperate measures to deal with Jiang Chen. They were even willing to entertain resurrecting Di Jun and Taiyi.

"The foundation of the Star Lord lies within the Boundless Starry Sky. Thus, for him, the most significant threats are not Saints, but the former masters of the Boundless Starry Sky—Di Jun and Taiyi. Resurrecting them would truly strike at the Star Lord’s weakness."

"However, resurrecting Di Jun and Taiyi still seems somewhat unwise. Resurrecting only Taiyi is sufficient. Di Jun is too treacherous; collaborating with him is akin to seeking misfortune—it’s likely he would betray us."

"Taiyi, however, is loyal and righteous. Although he is Di Jun’s brother, their personalities are entirely different. Only by working with Taiyi can we find peace of mind." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

A Great Divine Transcendent deliberated and offered a differing perspective.

As for Di Jun, many Great Divine Transcendents held a poor impression of him. After all, anyone who could assume the role of Tiandi must be highly cunning, and many had suffered due to his machinations.

In contrast, Donghuang Taiyi was renowned for his wide-ranging connections, and many Great Divine Transcendents had benefited from his generosity.

Thus, while the group was unwilling to resurrect Di Jun, they were more inclined to bring Taiyi back.

"Indeed, Di Jun is unsuitable and cannot compare to Taiyi. Moreover, simultaneously resurrecting two Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial would be too burdensome. But if we resurrect only Taiyi, the pressure would be significantly reduced, completely within our ability to bear."

The group exchanged glances and agreed on this suggestion. Resurrecting a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial was not a simple task; it demanded immense resources. Even divided among many Great Divine Transcendents, it would still cause them considerable pain.

Reviving only one instead of two would undoubtedly save precious resources, making the idea far more appealing to the group. Moreover, collaborating with Di Jun was likened to inviting disaster, instilling fear among many and deterring them from choosing to resurrect him.
