Chapter 1620: One thousand sixty, calculating the moves of Primordial Heavenly Sovereign_2
Jiang Chen previously said he was not afraid of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and would take on all responsibilities for everyone; many believed him. But belief is one thing; they still did not think Jiang Chen could really do it.
To put it bluntly, it was a lack of trust in Jiang Chen’s ability.
But now, Jiang Chen’s actions had undoubtedly proven his words with real deeds. Taking on all consequences was not just talk; it was truly put into action.
Look, isn’t Jiang Chen directly confronting the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A quaking of the earth and shaking of mountains ensued, as Jiang Chen used his great divine ability to move mountains and command seas, intending to extract the entire twenty-four innate god peaks of the southern Kunlun.
Moving mountains and commanding seas is a very common divine ability. Everyone from small cultivators who have not yet achieved immortality to high and mighty saints knows it.
However, when executed with different levels of cultivation, the power varies greatly. For an ordinary cultivator to move a small mountain is already considered an incredible feat.
But when Jiang Chen used this divine ability, it was shocking to heaven and earth, leaving ghosts and gods in tears. The ground shook ceaselessly, all one hundred and eight peaks of the Kunlun mountain trembled and astonishingly rose by three feet.
In an instant, all the great divine transcendents between heaven and earth were alarmed and turned their gaze towards the Kunlun mountain. Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget, their minds greatly shaken.
If the Empress Nuwa had forcefully taken control of the main vein under the Kunlun mountain, which had already been shocking enough, then Jiang Chen’s actions today were absolutely terrifying.
One hundred and eight peaks of the Kunlun mountain simultaneously quaked and rose by three feet. Good heavens, Jiang Chen was not just trying to move the southern Kunlun but the entire Kunlun mountain itself.
To seize the Kunlun mountain was already inconceivable enough, very few had pondered such a possibility. To seize it in the face of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign was simply a wild and fanciful tale that no one had even considered.
Yet such an outrageous action was now genuinely unfolding before the eyes of the many powerhouses of the Prehistoric World.
Jiang Chen was not just slapping the face of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign; he was vowing to fight to the death with him. If this was the mortal world, to force one’s hand and seize someone’s property right in front of the owner’s face would also invite a life-and-death struggle.
If that is the case for mortals, what more for the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign?
"Jiang Chen, you deserve to die!"
Even for the kind corpse, filled with kind thoughts, faced with such a situation, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign still couldn’t help himself, his eyes nearly splitting with rage as he shouted at Jiang Chen.
He didn’t even say Jiang Chen was seeking death, he outright declared Jiang Chen deserved to die, signalling a death sentence for Jiang Chen!
Without uttering a second word, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign took action. First, a cloud of Celestial Cloud appeared, floating above his head.
The sudden emergence of five-colored radiance, the Hongmeng World appearing faintly visible, outside of the Celestial Cloud, countless golden lamps, lotuses, jade ornaments, and dangling pearls cascaded down from the sky like an endless stream of water dripping from the eaves.
The special Supreme Treasure, Celestial Cloud, though it is not regarded as an Innate Treasure, its defensive power is not inferior to that of an Innate Treasure, transforming from the Celestial Cloud of the Pangu Great God.
Beneath the Celestial Cloud, one could see the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign waving his hand, and the Pangu Banner, the strongest lethal treasure in existence, appeared in his hands.
The Pangu Banner, the Supreme Treasure used by the Pangu Great God to annihilate Chaos and create the Chaos World, has the greatest lethal power within the Prehistoric World. It is said that its sharp edge can injure the Heavenly Dao, its power even surpassing the Slaying God Spear.
To deal with Jiang Chen, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign truly put in a lot of effort, using all of his strongest artifacts.
"The Star Lord is truly staunch!"
"Even if it is to show determination, there’s no need to go to such lengths, to fight to the death with the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign."
Let alone the other powerhouses, even the powerhouses present were baffled by Jiang Chen’s actions. They knew Jiang Chen was courageous, but they did not expect him to be so brave, completely disregarding the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.
If Jiang Chen regarded the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign at all, he wouldn’t have done this.
But upon careful thought, this indeed was Jiang Chen’s style. After all, as the Star Lord, he has always been known to the world for his unexpected moves.
This matter may seem exaggerated, but isn’t it precisely a reflection of the Star Lord’s style? To think what ordinary people can’t think, to do what ordinary people can’t do. Any impossibility, when associated with the Star Lord, becomes so expected.
Indeed, Jiang Chen did it on purpose.
He thought that since he had already taken action, he might as well go the whole hog and move the entire Kunlun Mountain. If he only moved South Kunlun, wouldn’t that seem rather petty, somewhat inconsistent with his style?
Moreover, Jiang Chen had another goal in doing this, which was to deliberately enrage Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.
Because of the matter of King Wu, Jiang Chen could almost be certain that Primordial Heavenly Sovereign would stand against him, with irreconcilable contradictions between them, leaving no possibility of resolution.
Although Jiang Chen verbally claims to not take Saints seriously, in fact, he is extremely wary of them. Exactly for this reason, we have the current scenario.
Thinking of facing a powerhouse like Primordial Heavenly Sovereign as an opponent, Jiang Chen, despite not admitting it, is still headachy inside. Hence, he takes this opportunity to get Primordial Heavenly Sovereign out of the game in advance.
Primordial Heavenly Sovereign cares too much about face and acts impulsively, which are his personality flaws. And right now, Jiang Chen is exploiting precisely these points.
If it were any other Saint, having their Taoist Field taken would surely enrage them, but they would consider the gains and losses more and not act recklessly.
But Primordial Heavenly Sovereign is different. With a personality that is excessively concerned about face and acts impulsively, he is bound to explode in such a situation, and may even go to any lengths to annihilate Jiang Chen.
However, if only an incarnation acts, Primordial Heavenly Sovereign could never be a match for Jiang Chen. Under such circumstances, what would Primordial Heavenly Sovereign do?
If it were any other Saint, they would temporarily tolerate it, or possibly ask Taoist Ancestors to intervene and punish Jiang Chen. But Primordial Heavenly Sovereign wouldn’t do that, as he cannot stoop to complaining to his seniors.
So, it’s more likely that his true self will act recklessly, striking from the foreign Chaos towards the Three Realms, vowing to not rest until Jiang Chen is slain.
Yet, the prohibition of the Taoist Ancestors still stands, forbidding Saints from setting foot in the Three Realms.
If Primordial Heavenly Sovereign wishes to slay Jiang Chen, he must violate the Taoist Ancestors’ prohibitory orders and enter the Three Realms, but such orders from the Taoist Ancestors aren’t easily defied, are they?
If Primordial Heavenly Sovereign really did this, I’m afraid that before he even reached Jiang Chen, he would have been sealed by the Taoist Ancestors in Zixiao Palace, unable to reappear for millions of years.
Correct, Jiang Chen is planning to use the prohibitory order of the Taoist Ancestors to calculate against Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, forcing him to be sealed by the Taoist Ancestors in Zixiao Palace, thereby eliminating him early from the upcoming battles.
The forceful removal of Kunlun Mountain is precisely to infuriate Primordial Heavenly Sovereign and to induce him to make a mistake.
The scheme is very simple and would not fool any other Saint, but as I said before, Primordial Heavenly Sovereign is different, flawed by his personality.
Therefore, the simpler the plan, the more effective it is against him.
Of course, it cannot be denied that the plan has a high chance of failing, but what of it? Such a simple method, if it succeeds in removing the assistance of a Saint for an enemy, is worth trying no matter what.
If it fails, there’s not much lost, but if it succeeds, that would be a huge gain.
As for the subsequent punishment by the Taoist Ancestors?
After all, Primordial Heavenly Sovereign is Jiang Chen’s senior. Seizing his senior’s Taoist Field, if known by the Taoist Ancestors, Jiang Chen would inevitably be censured.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as Jiang Chen successfully reshapes the Chaos World, then all his actions will have a legitimate explanation.
Snatching Kunlun Mountain is merely to accelerate the process of reshaping the Chaos World. Why didn’t Primordial Heavenly Sovereign cooperate? If he had, then none of this would have happened, and it would rather have been a beautiful tale of master and disciple working together to rebuild the Prehistoric World.
As long as reshaping the Chaos World is accomplished, all flaws can be concealed, and even if the Taoist Ancestors truly intend to punish Jiang Chen, at most he would receive a mere reprimand, nothing more severe.
And if the reshaping of the Chaos World fails, then without considering whether it’s possible, since the plan would have failed, what else is there for Jiang Chen to care about?
A mere punishment, what does it count for!
