Chapter 1981: Chapter 1245: Curse

“Are you advising me to actively integrate into the Prehistoric World?”

Jiang Chen’s intentions were easy to guess, impossible to hide from the Thunder Demon God, so he directly asked.

“Do you have a choice?”

“At this moment, your fate is already sealed, destined to integrate into the Primordial World. The difference is whether you actively integrate into it, or get forcibly devoured by the Primordial World.”

Jiang Chen said indifferently.

For the Primordial World to become stronger, it must devour the Chaos Demigods. Therefore, when Jiang Chen appeared before the Thunder Demon God, his fate was already sealed.

Either actively integrate into the Primordial World, or be forced into it. If he chooses the former, the Primordial World can avoid many troubles, and the Thunder Demon God will gain great freedom.

If he chooses the latter, it will be troublesome. After all, he is a Chaos Demigod, and the Primordial World wanting to completely refine him is not a simple matter. During the process, it must guard against him escaping, inevitably diverting part of its energy.

However, if it happens, the Thunder Demon God’s ending won’t be too good.

“Indeed, the weak have no power of choice, I can only agree to your demand. I am willing to integrate into the Primordial World; from now on, there will be no Thunder Demon God in the world, only Thunder Marsh.”

The Thunder Demon God spoke, glancing warily at the Reincarnation Wheel above Jiang Chen’s head.

Although he had been asleep all these years, with the support of the World Origins, he also regained some of his strength, about equal to Jiang Chen’s.

Yet even so, the Thunder Demon God still had no confidence in defeating Jiang Chen. Because Jiang Chen’s Magic Treasures were stronger than his, unless he returned to his peak, facing Jiang Chen holding the Reincarnation Wheel, he would surely be defeated.

That is the power of Reincarnation. Although it still cannot annihilate him, it can wear down his strength, making him wander perpetually between life and death, never able to transcend.

The Thunder Demon God obviously didn’t want to die; he wanted to live, so he could only agree to Jiang Chen’s demand. Besides, he didn’t care much about his identity as a Chaos Demigod.

What he cared about was whether he could reach the Eternal Realm. As long as this goal could be achieved, what does it matter to abandon the identity of a Chaos Demigod?

Don’t forget, early on, the Thunder Demon God once offered a condition, as long as Jiang Chen was willing to give him the Heart of Pangu, he would completely side with the Primordial World and join Jiang Chen and others in resisting the Chaos Demigods.

This shows that in the heart of the Thunder Demon God, achieving the Great Dao surpasses everything, including so-called positions and hatred.

Or it could be said, for an existence like him, there are no so-called positions and hatred anymore, only whether one can achieve the Eternal!

…

“It’s naturally best if the Thunder Demon God is willing to cooperate. As long as you are willing to integrate into the Primordial World, you are still the Thunder Marsh Great God of the Primordial World, a fellow Daoist of ours.”

Without resorting to force, Jiang Chen was also quite pleased.

Thunder Marsh was too far from the Primordial World, let alone the current Thunder Marsh, which was still fused with the Falling Place of the Space-Time Demon and the Demon God of Fate, making it undoubtedly much harder for Jiang Chen to drag it back to the Primordial World.

Relying on himself alone, it’s hard to say how long it would take to drag this place back to the Primordial World. But if the Chaos Demigod were willing to cooperate, it would undoubtedly shorten this time greatly.

“I know your thoughts, you want to join forces with me to drag Thunder Marsh back to the Primordial World.”

Perceiving Jiang Chen’s thoughts, the Thunder Demon God suddenly spoke.

“What, my friend is unwilling?”

Jiang Chen frowned, sensing an unpleasant vibe from the Thunder Demon God’s tone.

“It’s not that I’m unwilling, but I feel my friend is thinking too simply. Even if you and I join forces, can we drag Thunder Marsh back to the Primordial World?”

“Yes, I brought Thunder Marsh here, but at that time, Thunder Marsh was not connected to the Falling Place of the Space-Time Demon. Now, we are dragging Thunder Marsh and the Falling Place of the Space-Time Demon together back to the Primordial World.”

“And this place is extremely far from the Primordial World. Do you really think that on such a long journey, there won’t be any accidents?”

The Thunder Demon God shook his head, expressing his thoughts, not believing that just by working together, they could drag this place back to the Primordial World.

“What does my friend mean?”

Jiang Chen frowned, vaguely guessing the meaning of the Thunder Demon God’s words.

“The Curse of Destiny! This place contains the curse from before the fall of the Destiny Demon God!”

“After the fall of the Destiny Demon God, his power continuously lingered here, never dissipating, preparing for his resurrection. Therefore, he would never allow anyone to refine the power here, destroying his future resurrection.”

“Based on this point, the Destiny Demon God laid a curse with his own death. Anyone who dares to steal the power from this place will suffer the Curse of Destiny and face various misfortunes.”

“At first, I didn’t realize this point, and rashly refined the power here, which led to being cursed by destiny, resulting in my present situation.”

“Just slightly refining the power here, I’ve already encountered such misfortune. And you think, if you intend to drag this place back to the Primordial World, our return journey, under the curse of the Destiny Demon God, will truly proceed smoothly?”

The Thunder Demon God expressed his concerns; the Curse of Destiny left a deep impression on him.

Hearing the Thunder Demon God refer to ‘we’, Jiang Chen was quite pleased; this indicated that the Thunder Demon God had already adjusted his attitude, completely considering himself a part of the Primordial World.

This was very good; if all the Chaos Demigods could be like him, there would be no worry about the Primordial World failing to ascend to the Eternal World.

Unfortunately, Chaos Demigods as perceptive as the Thunder Demon God are few and far between. Most Chaos Demigods still aim to devour the Primordial World because it could help them embrace the Great Dao Realm more quickly.

While feeling pleased, Jiang Chen also said:

“My friend’s concerns are not without reason, but it doesn’t matter. Although the Destiny Demon God is strong, he is not stronger than Pangu Great God; I can use Pangu Great God’s power to weaken the curse of the Destiny Demon God.”

“Additionally, I can attempt to borrow the power of Primordial to suppress the Curse of Destiny. Thus, even if the curse cannot be completely resolved, it can greatly reduce its strength, lessening the risks we face.”

Jiang Chen understood the Thunder Demon God’s concerns, but for the future of the Primordial World, he must drag Thunder Marsh back to the Primordial World; no matter how many dangers lie ahead, he must find ways to overcome them.

Devouring Thunder Marsh could already bring immense benefits to the Primordial World, not to mention the current Thunder Marsh, also connected to the Falling Place of the Space-Time Demon and the Destiny Demon God.

This is such a tremendous power that even Pangu Great God would be tempted. Integrating it into the Primordial World would undoubtedly bring the Primordial World closer to the Eternal.

“Pangu’s power?”

“I had forgotten, my friend differs from me and belongs to the Prehistoric World; he can utilize the power of Pangu within Thunder Marsh.”

The Thunder Demon God was momentarily stunned, understanding Jiang Chen’s meaning.

Inside Thunder Marsh, there exists a Dutian Divine Thunder left by Pangu Great God, transformed from his Original Source, and is the power to kill the Thunder Demon God.

However, that is a past tense.

Previously, the Thunder Demon God did not notice anything amiss, but now, with Jiang Chen’s reminder, he suddenly realized that this power is no longer the power he was familiar with in past years.

With the Prehistoric World’s repeated cycles of birth and death, the power of the Dutian Divine Thunder has also increased, and now it has reached an unimaginable level. If it were to erupt, it could obliterate him in an instant.

Such powerful force can indeed contend with the Curse of Destiny.

“No wonder after awakening, every time I see Thunder Marsh, I have an urge to refine it; so that’s why.”

At this moment, the Thunder Demon God also understood why Thunder Marsh had become increasingly attractive to him.
