Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1685 - 1092 Great Disasters of Heaven and Earth_2

This idea of his, regardless of its truth, appears overtly blasphemous given the current circumstances.

Throughout ancient times, it has always been the Innate Saints who ruled over the Prehistoric World. Now, Jiang Chen is claiming that they are the disease of Heaven and Earth, the very reason why it cannot advance in strength.

Only by eradicating them can the Prehistoric World become perfected and grow stronger.

This is digging at the root of the Innate Saints. If such a notion were to spread, it would surely enrage every Innate Saint, all of whom would then seek to trouble Jiang Chen.

At that point, even if the Prehistoric World were vast, there would be no place for Jiang Chen to shelter. Inevitably, he would be besieged and beaten to death by the collective wrath of the Innate Saints.

"Vicious! Truly vicious!"

Jiang Chen suddenly awoke to the realization that he had nearly been led astray by Pangu Taiqing.

The other party had clearly said this on purpose, aiming to guide his thoughts in that direction, pushing him toward opposition with the Innate Saints.

Such malicious intent could not be understated. If Jiang Chen had truly acted accordingly, it would have meant certain death for him with no burial place left.

However, since Pangu Taiqing had such intentions, it indicated that what Jiang Chen could conceive of, the other had long since considered. If not, Taiqing would not have deliberately baited Jiang Chen.

Understood!

Completely understood!

In this instant, all that Jiang Chen couldn’t comprehend before now became clear to him.

Previously, he had found it strange. Even if the Sanqing (Three Pure Ones) shared a close relationship, it shouldn’t have warranted handing over their Original Sources to Taiqing to help him condense Pangu’s Primordial Spirit.

This was effectively the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and Upper Qing Saints sacrificing themselves to fulfill the aims of the Saint of Taiqing—an unthinkable proposition no matter the angle.

Where Jiang Chen couldn’t reason it before, he now understood. It must’ve been that the Sanqing, through some unknown avenue, came to realize that the Innate Saints were the greatest bane of Heaven and Earth and that they themselves were remnants of Pangu Great God’s unrefined "excess dregs," the largest of all.

Having grasped this, they were filled with uncertainty about their own futures and lost on how to proceed. Being part of the Heavenly Earthly Origin, their fate could only diverge between the destruction of the Prehistoric World or their eventual reintegration into Heaven and Earth no matter how powerful they became.

Before acquiring sentience, this wouldn’t have been an issue. But now that they possessed intelligence, how could the Sanqing possibly resign themselves to self-sacrifice to complete Heaven and Earth?

Thus, after ample deliberation, they began their journey of self-salvation. The Upper Qing Saint opted to relinquish the identity of being Pangu’s direct lineage, choosing to restart as an ordinary entity to escape the destiny of reintegration with Heaven and Earth in the future.

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign took a different route, transforming into the Master of Creation, rebuilding himself as Pangu.

In doing so, he became Pangu, the Primordial King, and the Floating Primordial Heavenly Sovereign—an independent existence, naturally evading the fate of being assimilated by Heaven and Earth.

The Saint of Taiqing, characterized by prudence in his methods, prepared for multiple contingencies. One approach was to transform into the embodiment of the Great Dao, ensuring that even if he merged with Heaven and Earth, he would maintain his selfhood intact.

On the other hand, since both his younger brothers were renouncing the lineage of Pangu’s orthodoxy, their Original Sources were rendered redundant.

Better to benefit one’s own kin than outsiders—thus, the Saint of Taiqing straightforwardly claimed a portion of their Original Sources, using it to condense Pangu’s Primordial Spirit, securing independence from Heaven and Earth and escaping reintegration.

"The Sanqing had long made their choice. Eventually, they intended to sever all ties with the Prehistoric World. That’s why their stance feels so indifferent, ready to destroy Heaven and Earth at the slightest disagreement."

While Jiang Chen’s heart harbored many speculations, he refrained from speaking them aloud. On one hand, it was out of respect for his elders; on the other, he feared that voicing such thoughts would not only fail to win the acknowledgment of other Great Divine Transcendents but would instead incite their collective enmity—a risk that far outweighed the reward.

Some matters were better buried deep within, leaving other Great Divine Transcendents to gradually realize them on their own. With Pangu Taiqing having articulated this so clearly, those Great Divine Transcendents—no fools themselves—would surely figure it out.

Of course, while Pangu Taiqing could subtly hint at such matters to the other Innate Saints, Jiang Chen could not. This was because Pangu Taiqing was a member of the Innate Saints and even their leader.

When he hinted at such things, it could be understood as a reminder meant for everyone to prepare early.

In contrast, Jiang Chen, born as a Postnatal Innate Saint, was fundamentally different from the naturally born ones. Were he to speak of such matters, others would only see him as harboring ulterior motives, deliberately sowing discord among the Innate Saints.

Thus, certain things that could be done by the Saint of Taiqing—and even garner favor when done—would only draw animosity if performed by Jiang Chen.

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Chen had no desire to continue entangling himself with Pangu Taiqing. The longer they talked, the more he worried about losing control and spiraling into wild conjecture.

"Hmph! The position of Supreme has always belonged to those who are virtuous. You, a vermin skulking in the shadows, are utterly unworthy. Do you think yourself fit to covet supremacy?"

"If someone like you were to rule over the Netherworld, wouldn’t it be a testament to our Great Divine Transcendents’ incompetence?"

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts surging within, Jiang Chen struck without hesitation.

The Power of Destructive Creation swirled within his grasp, forming a cycle of endless annihilation and rebirth. In an instant, as his Divine Ability swept forth, the Great Dao shattered, all laws ceased, and everything reverted to their primordial state.

Encircling Pangu Taiqing’s form was an infinite Spirit World: worlds vast and minuscule, innumerable in their measure, each radiant with dazzling brilliance and emitting endless light.

These Spirit Worlds gathered together like a vast ocean of worlds. As the sea surged and swelled, boundless waves emerged, carrying a multitude of worlds and emanating infinite spiritual phenomena.

As Jiang Chen’s Divine Ability surged forward, the Spirit Worlds that it touched dimmed one by one, rapidly collapsing into fragments.

However, though Jiang Chen destroyed quickly, Pangu Taiqing restored just as swiftly. In an instant, more Spirit Worlds materialized, radiating even greater splendor.

Not only that, but Jiang Chen noticed that the infinite Spirit Worlds orbiting Pangu Taiqing began to spin rapidly, coordinating with one another. Through cycles of birth and destruction, they fragmented his Divine Power into countless trillions of parts.

Subsequently, his power was lost amidst the boundless Spirit Worlds, swiftly consumed and dissolved.

"The light of the Spirit shines upon all worlds, drawing forth the spiritual radiance from the myriad realms of existence to ensure the Spirit Worlds remain infinite, an eternal dance of birth and destruction."

"Unless all Spirit Worlds can be destroyed in an instant, he will remain unharmed."

"No matter how powerful a Divine Ability, it will be disassembled by the endless Spirit Worlds. Rather than harm him, it only enhances his Foundation."

It was at this moment that Jiang Chen finally realized the ocean of Spirit Worlds surrounding Pangu Taiqing was no mere illusion but an extremely potent Divine Ability.

This sea of Spirit Worlds incorporated formations and was intricately connected to All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. As long as sentient beings existed, its power would remain inexhaustible, making it nearly indestructible.

In a sense, Jiang Chen had become ensnared by his own craft, for this Divine Ability was a fusion of formations and Divine Powers that harnessed the strength of sentient beings—an approach he himself excelled at and often employed against his adversaries, leaving them utterly frustrated.

Viewed differently, Jiang Chen had made substantial contributions, redefining the path of Divine Abilities by integrating them with formations, creating a revolution that drastically amplified their power.

All Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World had benefited from this innovation, their combat strength elevated as a result.

Pangu Taiqing was no exception. Previously, he could not have been this formidable. But through merging his Divine Ability with formations, his power underwent a qualitative leap, propelling him into the ranks of the mightiest among Saints.

BOOM!

Simultaneously, Pangu Taiqing also made his move.

A hazy glow of Dao Light abruptly surged from his body, indistinct yet terrifying in its aura, like the very embodiment of the Great Dao, capable of obliterating all spirits.

The Supreme Divine Ability: Pangu Dao Light!

This Divine Ability was one Jiang Chen also possessed—it was the unique power of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit.
