Chapter 1311: 896 A Requirement for Achieving the Tao through Strength_2

In the end, he came back to the concept of "Divine Ability becoming the Dao." Making Divine Abilities a natural state, turning them into instinct, isn’t this exactly the state pursued by those seeking to master Divine Abilities?

...

As he walked and pondered, it wasn’t long before Jiang Chen’s figure reappeared in the city of Xianyang.

By then, Xianyang had regained its previous tranquility; all the invading enemies had been slain, and all the formations within the city had vanished. The areas damaged by the earlier battle had also been restored to their original state.

Now, Xianyang looked no different from before, as if the fierce battle had never occurred.

"How could it be that it never occurred? Including the ancestor Kunpeng, today, a total of five Great Divine Transcendents have fallen. Since the decisive battle with the Witch and Demon Clans, this is the first time that so many Great Divine Transcendents have fallen at the same time in Heaven and Earth."

Jiang Chen snapped back to reality, a mix of emotions in his heart. Who could have predicted that such a minor incident in Xianyang would directly lead to the fall of five Great Divine Transcendents?

However, as much as he was moved, Jiang Chen couldn’t conceal the excitement in his heart.

This battle was immensely advantageous for the Human Race. The fall of five Great Divine Transcendents brought unimaginable benefits to the Human Race, enough to greatly increase their power by several levels.

Not to mention others, just the twelve Golden Figures, by virtue of this battle, were promoted to the Quasi-Saint realm and had acquired the capacity to contend with Great Divine Transcendents. This fact alone significantly solidified the foundation of the Human Race, giving them much more confidence when speaking.

Put simply, after the advancement of the twelve Golden Figures, the myriad tribes posed no more threats to the Human Race from now on.

In the past, to guard against the myriad tribes, the Human Race had to expend a lot of military force and effort, but that was no longer necessary. As long as the twelve Golden Figures took to the front lines, the myriad tribes would surely behave very obediently and dare not harbor any other thoughts.

It’s no exaggeration to say that unless the Heavenly, Five Elements, and Barbarian Clans intervened, just the twelve Golden Figures alone could annihilate the myriad tribes.

The twelve Golden Figures are puppets, not real Great Divine Transcendents. They lack emotions and cannot feel pain; they are killing machines specifically created by the First Emperor for the Human Race. Should they truly unleash their might, what can the myriad tribes do to stop them?

Right, the promotion of the twelve Golden Figures was not solely due to the fall of those five Great Divine Transcendents, but because they absorbed the Fate from those dozen or so Quasi-Saints.

The benefits of the fall of five Great Divine Transcendents would not be immediately apparent but, as time passed, they would bring revolutionary changes to the Human Race.

Just like after the end of the Distant Ancient Era, Innate Dao Sovereigns were increasingly rare among the Human Race, not only because of the limits set by Heaven and Earth but also because the Human Race’s Fate had reached its limit and could no longer support more Innate Dao Sovereigns.

Now, with the fall of these five Great Divine Transcendents, as the Human Race absorbed their Fate, their ceiling would be raised. In the following period, many Dao Monarchs struggling to make breakthroughs would take that critical step and attain Taoist Master.

Not only that, but some Taoist Masters would also break through and enter the Quasi-Saint realm.

As for whether any Quasi-Saints would break through and become Great Divine Transcendents, that was possible, but not immediately.

As he thought this, Jiang Chen looked towards the Nine Tripods and sent the Original Source fragment left behind by Guiyi after its fall into the Nine Tripods.

Of those five fallen Great Divine Transcendents, the essence of three had been divided by the First Emperor and sealed into the Nine Tripods. The First Emperor planned to use their power to strengthen the Nine States Continent.

Once their power was completely refined by the Nine Tripods, not only would the Nine States Continent become stronger, but it would also provide the Human Race with the basis to produce three more Great Divine Transcendents.

If three more Great Divine Transcendents were added, then to some extent, the Human Race would have bridged the gap with the Witch and Demon Clans.

The Human Race may not have a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, but it wasn’t because their powerful couldn’t break through to become Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, but rather because they were unwilling.

If the Human Race so wished, within ten thousand years, they could give birth to two Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

The Heavenly Emperor could step into this realm at any time, while others refining the Primordial Dao Flower would need one million years to break through. But if Pangu were to refine it, the breakthrough could happen within ten thousand years.

So, in this light, the Human Race has become very strong indeed. However, at the same time as the Human Race has been growing stronger, so have their enemies. That’s why, despite their strength, the Human Race seems so insignificant.

In truth, it’s not that the Human Race is weak; it’s that the Human Race’s enemies are too strong. In the current situation of the Human Race, even the Demon Clan at their peak would not fare much better.

During the age of the Witches and Demons, Saints and the Mystic Sect were strong, but not overwhelmingly so. At that time, the core of the Mystic Sect was the Quasi-Saints, and Great Divine Transcendents were not as common as they are now, where they appear to be everywhere.

The Primordial Dao Flower is what remains of the other two Great Divine Transcendents after they perished. Although it cannot enable the Human Race to give birth to more Innate Dao Sovereigns or Quasi-Saints, it can certainly bring forth another Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial for the Human Race.

Thus, it is even more precious!

"This battle has brought the Human Race too many benefits, but that is not necessarily a good thing. As the saying goes, too much of a good thing can be harmful. It’s like overeating – it’s easy to over-indulge."

"The Human Race is now over-indulging."

"With so many benefits unable to be assimilated by the Human Race in a short period, and so blatantly exposed before the eyes of other powers, how can they not be jealous?"

"Fear not the thief who steals, but the thief who covets. When coveted by too many, disaster is bound to strike sooner or later."

The original source power of the Nine States has become even more substantial, substantial enough to arouse the envy of other forces.

It can give the Human Race a few more Great Divine Transcendents, but it can also provide other forces with more Great Divine Transcendents and give those Quasi-Saints who have struggled for many years but could not break through a glimmer of hope for promotion.

Thinking this, the Human Race’s situation becomes perilous; many powerful beings are sure to covet these original sources.

Aren’t they afraid of death?

Not afraid, truly not afraid!

The strong of the Prehistoric World all share one trait – they are not afraid to die. What they fear is the inability to make progress. Between breakthroughs and death, they will undoubtedly choose the former. So for the sake of a breakthrough, they are willing to risk everything.

How powerful were the Witch and demon two clans in their day, and yet, what of it? They could not stop the hearts of the Prehistoric World’s strong from craving more power.

There will always be some powerful beings who either sneak into the Boundless Starry Sky to steal the essence of stars or find ways to get closer to Pangu Palace.

If the Witch and demon two clans couldn’t stop this group yearning for strength, neither can the Human Race, especially when enemies are all around, providing them with opportunities.

"In the short term, they probably won’t act, which is my chance. During this time, I must use every means to strengthen my own power."

Facing an increasing number of enemies, the best strategy is to continually grow stronger and thus gain the power to suppress everything.

If the number of enemies is increasing, it only indicates that you’re not strong enough and others see your weakness. If you’re powerful enough, the number of enemies will only decrease.

"Next, I should promote the Heavenly Star Banner, preparing for the revitalization of the Boundless Starry Sky. The celestial fragments collected by Emperor Qin have greatly aided me."

Looking up at the starry sky above Xianyang city, Jiang Chen’s eyes brimmed with a smile. He had already met all the requirements needed for the promotion of the Heavenly Star Banner.

The remaining two hundred plus Heavenly Star Banners he had snatched from the hands of the elder Kunpeng. Once integrated into the Heavenly Star Banner, they would render it complete.

And the celestial fragments collected by Emperor Qin could strengthen the connection between the Heavenly Star Banner and the Boundless Starry Sky.

Once the fragments of the Heavenly Stars were devoured, the Heavenly Star Banner would evolve to emit the essence of the Heavenly Stars, thereby establishing a connection with the Boundless Starry Sky.

To repair the Boundless Starry Sky, the Heavenly Star Banner must merge with it. But this is not a simple task. If the original sources are not the same, how could two different items possibly merge?
