Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1308: Chiyou’s situation in 895

The Human Ancestor did not require it, the Human Demon did not need it, the ancient figures who walked the path of Fate, aside from the Heavenly Emperor, to achieve the Tao, all relied on the Human Race’s fate, and they also did not need the Primordial Chaos Dao Flowers.

Calculating thus, Jiang Chen collected the Primordial Chaos Dao Flowers for himself. Since everyone else did not need them, he decided to keep them for his own use, feeding them to the Cycle Divine Palace to aid in its final evolution.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

At this moment, in the firmament above, hundreds of beams of light descended from heaven, landing in the North Sea and transforming into terrifying silhouettes—it was the three hundred and twenty Innate Dao Sovereigns of the Human Race.

"We pay our respects to the Human Ancestor, Human Demon, and Human King."

As the crowd landed, they saw the Human Demon, Human Ancestor, and Human King—three supreme figures of the Human Race—standing in the void. Overwhelmed with awe, they eagerly stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Rise."

The Human Ancestor and the Human Demon did not speak, instead letting Jiang Chen take the lead. This was to help him establish his authority; since he was the Human King, then in an era without the Human Emperor, the will of the Human Race should be centered on him.

If the Human Ancestor or Human Demon had spoken, the will of the Human Race would have sided with them, and wouldn’t Jiang Chen’s role as Human King have been reduced to a mere figurehead?

Therefore, unless the Human Race faced dire peril, those with higher status than the Human King would not intervene in the affairs of the Human Race so as not to undermine the Human King’s authority.

"May I ask if the Human King has any instructions?"

The Taoist Masters looked toward Jiang Chen, seeking guidance.

They had thought that upon their return to the Three Realms, they would face an unprecedented great battle.

But what they did not expect was that indeed it was an unprecedented battle, yet it had nothing to do with them. By the time they arrived, the battle had already ended, and they had not been of any use. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Can the Human Ancestor and Human Demon seniors remain in the North Sea?"

Jiang Chen did not answer the crowd’s question but instead turned his head to the Human Ancestor and Human Demon to inquire if they could stay in the North Sea.

Indeed, the North Sea had been conquered by their efforts, but as the saying goes, "easy to conquer, hard to defend." Simply capturing the North Sea was not enough; they also needed to guard against a counterattack from the Demon Clan and plots from other powers.

Thus, at this time, a powerful figure was needed to oversee the North Sea, to suppress all dissent, until this place was fully under the control of the Human Race.

The Northern Netherworld was a land that had given rise to mythical creatures and was the stronghold of the Demon Teacher Kunpeng, as well as the Ruined Land—the foremost perilous place in the Prehistoric World.

Hence, the person overseeing this land must be incredibly powerful, and only grand figures at the level of the Three Sovereigns would be suitable; ordinary Great Divine Transcendents would not suffice.

Among the Human Race, only three individuals met this criterion: Chiyou, Human Ancestor, and Human Demon. Currently, the Human Ancestor and Human Demon were before Jiang Chen, so there was no need for him to seek far and wide.

After Jiang Chen spoke, the Human Demon’s face revealed hesitation. Observing this, the Human Ancestor said, "I have no pressing matters; it shall be I who oversees the North Sea."

His voice having settled, both Jiang Chen and the Human Demon breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chen had been afraid that neither would be available, which would have meant he needed to seek out Chiyou. But Chiyou was not so easily found.

His body torn to pieces and suppressed at the four corners of the world, and now with Heaven and Earth shattered, even those who sealed him might not know where his remnants have drifted.

Furthermore, Chiyou being divided was a part of his own practice. If the time was right, without need for others to search for him, he would reassemble his body and return to the world.

Since he did not appear on his own accord, it indicated his practice was not yet perfected. Seeking him out at such a time could easily disturb his practice.

As for the claim that Chiyou was slain by Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor, such things are best left as hearsay—how could they be taken seriously?

Chiyou was not as the outside world rumored him to be, the reincarnation of the thirteenth Ancestral Witch. Instead, he was a descendent of the Flame Emperor and a Witch woman, a mixed-blood of the Human and Witch Clans.

He was not only a descendent of the ground emperor, but in the Distant Ancient Era, he was also the Human King of the Human Race, the Jiuli Human King, the leader of all the different humans. The term "commoners" referred specifically to those of Jiuli.

Regarding the thirteenth Ancestral Witch, he was inherently flawed, and during the decisive battle between Witches and Demons, he perished utterly, with no possibility of revival.

As for the rumor that Chiyou was his reincarnation, it originated because Chiyou, in his youth, had a great opportunity and unexpectedly acquired some of the Original Source left behind after his death. Considering his identity, some fanciful folks began calling him the reincarnation of the thirteenth Ancestral Witch.

The intent behind this statement was to praise Chiyou, suggesting his talents were comparable to the thirteenth Ancestral Witch and that he would surely reach the same level in the future, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

In fact, this was precisely the case. If Xuanyuan, the Human Emperor, were not the reincarnation of a Human Hero with the accumulations of previous lives, he truly would not have been Chiyou’s match.

The Human Race finally produced a Great Divine Transcendent, and even if the Human Emperor went mad, it was impossible for him to slay Chiyou. Moreover, even if the Human Emperor lost his mind, the rest of the Human Race’s experts were not insane; they would not stand by and watch the Human Emperor kill Chiyou.

Therefore, Chiyou had not died. Rather, because of his defeat and the damage to his state of mind, he resolutely chose the path of great destruction and rebirth. Using the Human Emperor’s hand to tear his body asunder, he awaited the day of his rebirth from the flames.

The practice of the Human Demon was unlike others; it was known as the Path of Creation, but its essence was the Path of Devouring. Through devouring the beings of myriad clans, he sought to comprehend the true meaning of creation. Thus, to achieve the Tao, he needed to continually devour beings from different races.

Over the years, he had consumed beings of all the races in the Three Realms to the extent that there was nothing left to devour. Therefore, the Human Demon decided to leave the Three Realms and proceed to All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds to continue his search for new races to devour.
