CHAPTER 1940: CHAPTER 1223: THE SAINT’S CHOICE

Jiang Chen’s attitude softened; it wasn’t because he was afraid, but to show respect to everyone. However, if someone disrespects him, they shouldn’t blame him for being rude.

As Jiang Chen finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense, and many Great Divine Transcendents changed their expressions.

According to Jiang Chen’s implication, those who disagree with his demand are impersonated by Chaos Demigods?

Who can accept this? Because this logic is too overbearing; being an enemy of Jiang Chen means you’re a Chaos Demigod, doesn’t that mean Jiang Chen can kill whoever he wants?

"Alright, everyone calm down."

"As an old man, let me say a word, His Majesty’s demand is indeed a bit excessive, but what His Majesty says is not entirely unreasonable. How about this, both parties take a step back."

"If the Doctrine is on the brink of extinction, the cultivator in Supreme Heaven can step out of Supreme Heaven. Simultaneously, every ten million years, the cultivators inside Supreme Heaven can enter the Prehistoric World for a period of travel."

Seeing the tense situation, Hongjun Daizu timely spoke; he did not oppose Jiang Chen’s opinions, but rather suggested he relax the conditions a bit.

Changed the rule from not being allowed to step out after entering Supreme Heaven to being able to travel for a period every ten million years. Simultaneously, when the Doctrine is about to be destroyed, they can intervene to preserve it.

With Daizu’s words, both sides’ expressions became much more relaxed, and Jiang Chen’s attitude was no longer firm, cooperating with Daizu to take a step back, saying: "Let’s follow Daizu’s advice."

"Agreed!"

Daizu nodded upon hearing this, then smiled and looked at the other Great Divine Transcendents.

At this moment, these Great Divine Transcendents saw through, realizing that both parties were acting out a play—one singing the stern role, the other the cordial.

The two merely discussed how to enter Supreme Heaven, yet never mentioned what happens to those not entering Supreme Heaven. Why is this? Clearly, in their minds, there was no option not to enter Supreme Heaven.

On restraining the strong, Daizu and Jiang Chen shared the same idea. The Prehistoric World’s strong must be restricted.

Therefore, they either enter Supreme Heaven or leave the Prehistoric World; there is no other choice.

It is exactly due to this shared idea that Hongjun Daizu cooperated with Jiang Chen. But those Great Divine Transcendents who guessed the two were acting, no matter how many ideas they had, could only keep them to themselves at this moment.

They must agree to Jiang Chen’s demands!

Jiang Chen and Daizu, the strongest two in the Prehistoric World, could clearly put pressure on them forcibly and force them to agree to this demand.

Yet the two did not do so, instead, they staged a play for them. This is giving them respect; they can’t disrespect that offer.

Continuing to oppose would show ignorance of the situation, with consequences unimaginable.

As Jiang Chen mentioned, among the crowd, some Chaos Demigod is surely hiding.

But who exactly, no one knows. From another perspective, anyone could be impersonated by a Chaos Demigod; everyone is a suspect.

Offending Jiang Chen might not label you as impersonated by a Chaos Demigod. But offending both Jiang Chen and Daizu, whether you’re impersonated by a Chaos Demigod or not, will become reality.

Jiang Chen and Daizu together, there’s truly nothing in the Prehistoric World they can’t accomplish. Hence, facing their demand, no one can refuse.

"We are willing to enter Supreme Heaven!"

Except for the Saints, all other Great Divine Transcendents nodded in agreement. They couldn’t refuse; if they didn’t want to leave, they would only enter Supreme Heaven.

Moreover, actually entering Supreme Heaven, despite various disadvantages, was still overall more beneficial than detrimental.

Their reluctance wasn’t because they didn’t want to enter Supreme Heaven, but rather dissatisfaction with Jiang Chen’s overbearing tactics.

Voluntarily entering Supreme Heaven, and being forced by someone into Supreme Heaven, the feelings naturally differ.

Regarding this, Jiang Chen was indifferent. At this moment, everyone’s dissatisfaction was of no concern to him anymore.

Firstly, he was strong enough, and secondly, everyone owed him an immense favor. Even if dissatisfied with him, they wouldn’t think of retaliating, at most grumble a bit, harmlessly.

After discussing the matter of Supreme Heaven, Jiang Chen remained silent, passing the spotlight to Daizu. Next, it was Daizu’s turn to step forward.

All the rules Jiang Chen set were to restrict Great Divine Transcendents, meaning all except Saints; it did not include Saints.

Arranging for Saints should be handled by Hongjun Daizu or represented by Heavenly Dao.

Saints are the spokespersons of Heavenly Dao. In the Prehistoric World, those able to handle Saints have always been only Heavenly Dao. Even Jiang Chen cannot handle Saints.

Currently, even though Jiang Chen can interfere with Heavenly Dao to some extent, he ultimately isn’t the master of Heavenly Dao, unable to operate Heavenly Dao fully according to his will.

This is normal; after all, Heavenly Dao was created by Pangu Great God. If Pangu Great God truly perished, then with Jiang Chen’s current achievements, he could naturally fully control Heavenly Dao.

But unfortunately, Pangu Great God did not truly perish, so Jiang Chen’s control over Heavenly Dao is limited.

Not to mention, Heavenly Dao isn’t pure anymore. After Daizu merged with Tao, Heavenly Dao underwent significant changes; no one can fully control Heavenly Dao anymore, not even Pangu Great God.

The significance of Daizu merging with Tao lies partly therein. Besides perfecting Heavenly Dao, it also eliminated the possibility of Heavenly Dao being fully controlled by outsiders.
