Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1676: One thousand eighty-eight, it’s all the fault of the Chaos Demigod.

At the edge of the Ninefold Cloud Heaven, there remained an endless void. Even with Jiang Chen’s vision, he still could see no trace of the Ancient Thunder Swamp.

This indicated that, despite the Ninefold Cloud Heaven already extending outward for an extraordinarily long distance, the Ancient Thunder Swamp remained exceedingly far away.

"Is the scope of the Chaos World truly this vast?"

At this moment, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but suspect that the Ancient Thunder Swamp might have already departed from the Chaos World and now resided in the Great Chaos beyond. Otherwise, why would it be so far from the Ninefold Cloud Heaven?

"No wonder countless years have passed, and yet no Great Divine Transcendent has found any trace of Thunder Marsh. It must be too far from the Chaos World—or perhaps it is hidden too deeply." fгeewebnovёl.com

For some reason, Jiang Chen’s thoughts turned once again to the Chaos Demon Gods.

When in doubt, blame the Chaos Demon Gods.

In the Chaos World, whenever a problem seemed unsolvable, it could always be suspected that the Chaos Demon Gods were involved.

Jiang Chen suspected that the Ancient Thunder Swamp was not truly that far away from the Chaos World, but rather, his inability to pinpoint the swamp’s location was due to covert interference by the Chaos Demon Gods.

If Thunder Marsh had truly left the Chaos World, the Heavenly Dao couldn’t possibly remain utterly unresponsive. Since it hadn’t left, why was it still unfindable?

At this point, the matter could be resolved simply by the process of elimination. In the vast Chaos World, only a handful had the capacity to evade Jiang Chen’s perception. Besides the Saints, only the Chaos Demon Gods remained.

And the Chaos Demon Gods had every reason to hide Thunder Marsh, particularly the Thunder Demon God. Thunder Marsh inherently contained a portion of his Original Source, and even if only to restore himself, he would certainly seek to refine Thunder Marsh.

Moreover, by refining Thunder Marsh, he might gain insight into Pangu’s Dutian Thunder Law, using it to compensate for his deficiencies and striving to advance further.

"Judging by timing, those Chaos Demon Gods should be growing active by now. After all, if they remain inert for much longer, they will lose their chance forever."

The more Jiang Chen thought, the more certain he became that all of this was orchestrated by the Chaos Demon Gods. Recently, it happened to be the period when the Chaos Demon Gods were at their most active.

They had little choice but to act now. If they delayed any further, once the Chaos World was reforged, the suppression from Heaven and Earth would force them to remain in hiding permanently.

As soon as they dared to surface, they would face suppression by the Heavenly Dao. Furthermore, once the Chaos World sought further evolution, the simplest and fastest method would be to devour the Original Source of these Chaos Demon Gods.

Absorbing the Original Source of three thousand Chaos Demon Gods would allow the Chaos World, if not to reach the level of an Eternal World, to at least draw significantly closer—approaching the tier of a Half-step Eternal World.

Even if only to survive, the Chaos Demon Gods had no choice but to act at this time, attempting to thwart Jiang Chen’s plan to reforge the Chaos World.

Jiang Chen’s conflict with the Great Divine Transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent might still be resolved as a contest of interests—if someone offered greater benefits, reconciliation could follow.

But Jiang Chen’s strife with the Chaos Demon Gods was a genuine battle of life and death, destined to end only when one side was utterly eradicated.

"The Chaos World truly grows more lively by the day."

Though Jiang Chen’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze took on an air of amusement.

The emergence of the Chaos Demon Gods undoubtedly marked them as formidable adversaries. Yet, for him, this might not necessarily prove to be a bad thing.

Anything opposed by the Chaos Demon Gods was undoubtedly correct within the Chaos World. Anyone daring to align themselves with the Chaos Demon Gods would be deemed a traitor to the Chaos World.

Perhaps the appearance of the Chaos Demon Gods might even lead to the direct collapse of the plan to establish the Immortal World.

The more the Chaos Demon Gods opposed, the more it validated the righteousness of reforging the Chaos World. Under such circumstances, more and more neutral groups of Great Divine Transcendents were bound to rally to Jiang Chen’s side, subtly affecting the plan to create the Immortal World and causing it to come to a halt.

In the end, fortune and misfortune intertwine; calamity and blessing rely on one another. The arrival of the Chaos Demon Gods, if planned carefully, might not necessarily be a calamity for Jiang Chen.

...

"Cang Mountain!"

At the very moment when Cang Mountain’s reconstruction was successfully completed, the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi, who was confronting a host of powerful beings far away in the Fire Cloud Cave, suddenly turned his head toward Cang Mountain’s direction. A rare expression of sentiment emerged on his face.

Ancient Cang Mountain, situated beneath the Heavens, was once one of the Taoist Fields belonging to Fuxi’s former incarnation, the Sovereign of Heaven, Xihuang. Back then, Xihuang perished alongside Zhu Jiuyin, leading to the fragmentation of Cangtian, which also reduced Cang Mountain to ruins.

Fuxi had long believed that Cang Mountain had become an eternal silence, something he would never see again. Yet, unexpectedly, amid the era of growing decay in the Chaos World, Cang Mountain was reborn—reconstructed by his descendants.

Destroyed by his hand, restored by the hands of his progeny—was this not a form of reincarnation?

"What a pity. Though Cang Mountain has been reconstructed, it is no longer the same Cang Mountain of the past."

After a brief moment, the Heavenly Sovereign withdrew his gaze, his expression once more becoming tranquil and unfathomable. At his level of cultivation, how could he fail to discern Jiang Chen’s true intentions?

Indeed, Jiang Chen was reconstructing Cang Mountain, but in his plans, Cang Mountain was no longer to serve as a pillar of the former Cangtian. Instead, it was destined to become the ancestral lineage of the Northern Chaos World’s geography.

This symbolized the complete extinction of Cang Mountain—it would never again be as it once was. The Taoist Field was poised to vanish entirely and become history. Though the Heavenly Sovereign was not without sentiment, it was inevitable that he felt some measure of emotion.

...

After the reconstruction of Cang Mountain, Jiang Chen did not proceed to handle matters in the Netherworld as initially planned. Instead, he returned to the Divine Court to meet Old Ancestor Jiang Xuan.

This time, with the reconstruction of Cang Mountain unfolding amidst successive unforeseen events, the Human Race had to begin its own strategizing and planning.

"After thorough inquiry, they’ve said they hail from an incredibly distant world, seemingly at the edges of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds."
