Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1578 - 1037 The saints all arrive at Zixiao Palace
Chapter 1578: 1037 The saints all arrive at Zixiao Palace
Jiang Chen currently holds a truly substantial amount of resources. Not to mention the reviving Nanbuzhan Continent, just consider the Beijulu Continent and the North Sea, which are the Demon Clan’s last two strongholds and hold millennia of their accumulations.
Now that they have all fallen into Jiang Chen’s hands, they serve as a strong foundation for the Human Race, with just these two treasured lands capable of creating numerous powerful individuals among the people.
Not to mention, in addition to these, Jiang Chen also holds the Boundless Starry Sky and the reviving Nanbuzhan Continent as two more trump cards.
All these treasured lands combined are nearly on par with Dongsheng Divine Continent. And Jiang Chen can offer all of these resources for the Human Race to use. But can all of Dongsheng Divine Continent’s resources be used by those of the Human Race under King Wu’s lineage?
Clearly impossible!
The Human Race is not the strongest force in Dongsheng Divine Continent; the mainstream power has always been those Innate living beings nurtured by Heaven and Earth. Not only are they the darling of Heaven and Earth but also favored by Great Divine Transcendents.
The resources of Dongsheng Divine Continent have always been first provided to them, followed by other powers.
Even though King Wu has the support of Dongsheng Divine Continent, the Great Divine Transcendents backing him wouldn’t provide all resources for him to strengthen his power without reservations, like Jiang Chen does.
The Human Race can become stronger but should not be too powerful to avoid exceeding control.
The Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect are fearful, supporting the Human Race without reservation, because they may lose control over the Human Race should it become overwhelmingly powerful.
Having busied themselves for so long, wouldn’t it all be in vain then?
"We don’t need to worry about King Wu. For us, the more powerful King Wu grows, the greater the benefits we will gain after defeating him,"
"Perhaps, it will allow our Human Race to ascend to an even higher level."
In Jiang Chen’s eyes, King Wu is like a pig he is raising. He is still too weak to be of much benefit if killed, so there is no need to bother with him for now. It’s better to wait until he grows fatter before slaughtering him.
"With your cultivation reaching the skies, Your Majesty, King Wu is indeed not a concern," said the crowd, thinking of Jiang Chen’s strength and immediately speaking with heartfelt respect.
Indeed, King Wu, whom they viewed as a great enemy, really is nothing before Jiang Chen. If not for the fate of the Human Race, Jiang Chen could kill him with a flip of his hand.
During this period, Jiang Chen has proven his strength with actual achievements, standing at the peak of Heaven and Earth, no weaker than a Saint.
How could King Wu possess the capability or virtue to compare with Jiang Chen?
Boom!
Suddenly, a glaring light flashed in the outside world, as thunder streaked across the sky.
Everyone looked up to see that the sky was changing abruptly, and torrential rain began pouring down unexpectedly. Countless raindrops fell from the sky, covering the entire Nine States.
"Something is wrong with this rain!"
All present were powerhouses, and at a glance, they noticed that there was something amiss with the rain. It wasn’t that there was something wrong with the rain itself but that its timing was off.
According to the forecast, there shouldn’t be any rain these days, and even if there was, it couldn’t possibly cover the whole Nine States Continent.
"This rain is oddly timed; could it be that someone with malicious intent has destroyed the Heavenly Dam again, seeking to replay the ancient tragedies and turn Heaven and Earth into a vast marsh?"
Someone voiced their doubt.
The sudden downpour enveloping the whole Nine States Continent, the first thought of the powerhouses present was that someone was using Divine Ability to gather the waters from the Four Seas, turning it into a deluge, intending to flood the Nine States.
The more ancient powerhouses even recalled the great flood of the remote past, subconsciously thinking that the Heavenly River had breached again, once more submerging the land in water.
No wonder people thought like this; the rain in front of them was very similar to that of the past, almost as if the Heavenly River was reversing its flow.
"This rain contains a trace of Heavenly Dao’s will; it doesn’t seem like someone deliberately cast a spell but rather like it is the result of the operation of Heavenly Will."
Another person beside refuted, not believing it to be the breach of the Heavenly River.
The Heavenly River isn’t so easily breached, back then it was because there was no preparation. With the lesson learned from last time, how could there be a second occurrence?
Do the powerhouses of the Heaven Court merely eat without working? Countless powerhouses are secretly watching over the Heavenly River, and even Great Divine Transcendents dare not approach there silently.
After all, if the Heavenly River were to breach again, the first to suffer wouldn’t be anyone else, but the Jade Emperor himself!
"Don’t think too much, this rain has nothing to do with others, it’s the backlash of Heavenly Dao that has arrived. Reversing time and space to reshape bloodlines, how could there not be a price to pay?"
"This rainstorm is just the beginning; following that, even stranger celestial phenomena will occur. Nothing is beyond what Heaven and Earth can do."
As the concerned party, Jiang Chen realized immediately what happened; it was the backlash from that day he reversed time and space to reshape bloodlines.
It’s referred to as backlash, but it could also be considered as the challenge from Heavenly Dao to the Human Race, or a threshold. Only those who pass the challenge can awaken their bloodlines and undergo Innate metamorphosis.
The newly reshaped Human Race bloodlines are so extraordinary, not everyone is qualified to awaken them, thus Heavenly Dao set a threshold, and only those who cross it are eligible to awaken their bloodlines.
But of course, the challenge from Heavenly Dao is immensely difficult. However, fortunately, Heavenly Dao is justly impartial; it would not start with a high level of difficulty. Even if giving trials to the Human Race, it starts from easy to hard.
The current deluge is merely rain; one just needs to be careful, and there should be no problems.
But as time passes, the difficulty of the tests will increase. The rain will turn into a blizzard, the four seasons will become utterly chaotic, and the weather Between Heaven and Earth will become unpredictable, beyond even Immortals’ grasp.
