Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1679 - 1089 Inverting Cause and Effect_2

And then they saw a majestic figure suddenly standing in the sky above the River of Time and Space. Endless destructive waves, like a tide of apocalypse, surged overwhelmingly toward the past.

"It’s a strong one from the Human Race!"

"In the future, there’s a Human Race powerhouse taking action, intervening in the past—our very timeline."

As Jiang Chen made his move, all the great figures from his past were shocked, their faces filled with horror as they beheld the black tide sweeping past them.

It was the tide of destruction, the wave of apocalypse, seemingly a manifestation of the Immeasurable Kalpa, capable of annihilating all things under Heaven and Earth.

"A fragment of history has been altered!" freeweɓnovel.cøm

Although the destructive tide was terrifying, it caused no actual harm as it passed. Only after some time did a Great Divine Transcendent realize what had transpired.

Just now, a fragment of history had changed—a history where many Great Divine Transcendents who once helped the Human Race had their deeds attributed to Emperor Ziwei.

He single-handedly accomplished what hundreds of Great Divine Transcendents had done, becoming the most pivotal figure in the history of Human Race development. His contributions to the Human Race surpassed even the combined efforts of the Saint of Taiqing and Zhen Yuanzi.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors paled in comparison.

"All karmic ties, let them fall upon me."

In the River of Time and Space, only Jiang Chen’s low whisper resonated.

All of this was, of course, orchestrated by him. Indeed, Emperor Ziwei was nothing more than his incarnation.

According to the history he had fabricated, Emperor Ziwei was his previous life, born at the time of the pioneering of sky and earth.

During the Ancient Era, when the Human Race faced calamity, he stepped forward to protect them. In the Distant Ancient Era, during the resurgence of the Human Race, he descended among them and bestowed numerous techniques of Divine Ability and cultivation methods.

Thereafter, in pursuit of breakthroughs, Emperor Ziwei voluntarily entered the mortal realm, reincarnating as Jiang Chen.

It was flawless. This history, crafted by Jiang Chen, was no different from the true history that once existed in the Chaos World. Even if a Saint personally sought to deduce the past, the result would align perfectly, without a single error.

The Great Divine Transcendents who had once opposed the Human Race saw their aiding deeds vanish entirely from Heaven and Earth.

The actions that should have been attributed to them were all shifted to Emperor Ziwei, handled solely by him.

And those very actions, their help to the Human Race, were the legal foundation allowing them to meddle with the Human Race. With such support from their past deeds, they had been justified in their interference with the Human Race.

But now everything had changed. Jiang Chen erased all their supportive actions toward the Human Race. With the basis for their meddling obliterated, their interference with the Human Race now lacked legitimacy.

The consequences were severe. For instance, previously, when King Wu opposed Jiang Chen, his position was viewed as righteous and could be deemed internal strife within the Human Race.

But now, with their sect elders losing their rightful stance to intervene in the Human Race, their actions became unjust and amounted to betrayal of the Human Race.

Their behavior could now easily be interpreted as an attempt, under the backing of certain Great Divine Transcendents from the Mystic Sect, to divide the Human Race and weaken its strength.

At this point, Jiang Chen could label King Wu and the others as traitors to the Human Race anytime he wished.

"Star Lord, you..."

At this moment, those Great Divine Transcendents standing opposed to the Human Race were all enraged beyond measure.

Were it not for knowing they were no match for Jiang Chen, they would probably have rushed at him long ago, seeking to obliterate him a million times over.

Their reliance on controlling the Human Race’s future had now vanished, effectively throwing all their plans into chaos, potentially rendering all their efforts futile. How could they not seethe with fury?

"Star Lord, do you not fear alienating other Daoist friends with such actions?"

"Everyone, if the Star Lord can treat us this way today, what’s stopping him from doing the same to you in the future?"

Several Great Divine Transcendents spoke simultaneously, attempting to persuade others to join their cause and unite against Jiang Chen.

However, the other Great Divine Transcendents weren’t fools. Hearing these words, their expressions remained unchanged, making it impossible to discern their thoughts.

"Sensationalizing matters! My actions are to save you all. By erasing your imprints upon the Human Race today, I owe you a karmic debt. In the upcoming great calamity, when you’re defeated, I’ll be able to show you mercy and spare your lives."

Jiang Chen’s voice was cold as he rebuked those Great Divine Transcendents.

These Great Divine Transcendents, already seething with rage, were now on the verge of exploding upon hearing Jiang Chen’s remarks.

They had never encountered someone so insolent—how could he, without even a battle yet, declare their inevitable defeat and preemptively claim victory as spoils? Who behaves like this?

"Star Lord, do you think victory is assured?"

"Truly outrageous! How can someone act like this? Do you really believe you’ve already won?"

"Let me tell you, the birth of the Immortal World is inevitable. It is the grand trajectory—no one can alter it."

These Great Divine Transcendents could only bicker in words. When it came to action, they didn’t dare make a move.

They suddenly realized that Jiang Chen’s actions today were unmistakably aimed at severing all ties, elevating their animosity to an irreconcilable level of mortal enmity with no room for resolution.

If they couldn’t accept this, their only choices were to confront Jiang Chen in a life-or-death battle or flee far away and throw verbal jabs from a distance.

Weakness begets submission, and so it was.

"All karmic ties, let them fall upon me. If you refuse to yield, come and fight me."

"Don’t worry. Even if you lose, I won’t take your lives. As per the previous agreement at Zixiao Palace, I’ll let you leave."

Jiang Chen’s resolution was unwavering, his stance unshaken by their threats.

His decision to shoulder everything wasn’t out of self-aggrandizement. As he declared, all karmic ties fell upon him. He intended to absorb all the hatred from these Great Divine Transcendents onto himself.

By doing this, their vengeance would target only him, sparing others from their wrath.

"Star Lord, he who commits too many wrongs will meet his own demise. Your arrogance won’t last long."

"It won’t be long before you pay dearly for what you’ve done today."

Being lofty practitioners, these Great Divine Transcendents wouldn’t stoop to vulgar disputes. Recognizing their inability to defeat Jiang Chen, they threw out a few final threats before leaving.

Restraint in the moment would buy time for their next plan, after which they would reckon with Jiang Chen.

As for their plan, it was undoubtedly the resurrection of Donghuang Taiyi. Having been humiliated to such an extent by Jiang Chen, how could they possibly endure further?

At this moment, they could no longer care about potential risks. Even if reviving Donghuang Taiyi carried many hidden dangers, they felt compelled to proceed.

Jiang Chen’s arrogance had to be suppressed. If Donghuang Taiyi wasn’t sufficient, then even reviving Di Jun wouldn’t be off the table.

...

"Tsk tsk, the Star Lord is truly remarkable. I wonder how he managed to rewrite history so effortlessly."

"Moreover, he believes his actions to be concealed, but they can’t escape my notice. This isn’t merely reversing cause and effect, nor is it simply altering time—this is the far more profound art of turning the false into the real."

"Turning the false into the real, the ultimate goal of cultivation. Who would have thought the Star Lord has already grasped the essence of this path?"

"Truly a prodigy."

In the shadows, several Great Divine Transcendents were secretly marveling. They were genuinely astounded by Jiang Chen’s unprecedented mastery. Reversing cause and effect, they could also achieve. But turning falsehood into reality—transforming the illusory into the tangible—was well beyond their capabilities.

Yet Jiang Chen had achieved it, demonstrating a level of cultivation far surpassing theirs.

"Emperor Ziwei, heh... truly fascinating."

The history Jiang Chen fabricated, though appearing flawless, couldn’t deceive those Great Divine Transcendents who had lived since the Great Ancient and Chaos World’s birth. How could they not know that, from the moment the Chaos World formed, there had never been an Innate Saint called Emperor Ziwei?

This was the greatest flaw!
