Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1693: Resurrection Dispute: Factions Clash in Chaos

The Saint of Taiqing stepped forward, his tone sharp as he rebuked.

If there were a ranking of those in the Prehistoric World who most opposed the resurrection of Taiyi, the Saint of Taiqing would certainly not rank below Saint Zhunti.

He bore no personal grudge against Taiyi, but the very fact of Taiyi’s existence would be enough to destabilize his position. This was reason enough for the Saint of Taiqing to resist Taiyi’s return.

As the eldest direct disciple of the Taoist Ancestors, the Saint of Taiqing’s status was known to all. Yet few were aware that while Taiyi was not a direct disciple, he was the true inheritor of the Taoist Ancestors’ legacy.

Since the method of Slaying Three Corpses to achieve the Tao was passed down by the Taoist Ancestors, only Taiyi had successfully accomplished it in the Prehistoric World.

That alone gave Taiyi the power to threaten the Saint of Taiqing’s status. Thus, it was natural that the Saint of Taiqing did not wish to see Taiyi resurrected.

To be frank, the Saint of Taiqing would rather see Di Jun revived than Taiyi. Though Di Jun was formidable, he was not a threat to the Saint of Taiqing’s standing.

"Brother Dao, your words are unfair. Precisely because Brother Taiyi has committed great sins against Heaven and Earth, we have all the more reason to bring him back to life."

"If he remains fallen, his wrongs will forever remain unrighted. He will neither have the opportunity to repent nor to atone."

"For this very reason, we must revive him, to give him a chance to reform and correct the errors of his past."

"In the Ancient Era, the Chaos World was torn apart because of him, countless living beings suffered immensely—such crimes against the cosmos cannot be absolved by anyone."

"But humanity must strive forward. We cannot remain mired in the past. The Chaos World is shattered, and we must find a way to mend it. Brother Taiyi happens to possess the strength to accomplish this."

"Rather than leaving him in eternal slumber, it is better to revive him and have him contribute to the future of the Prehistoric World, thereby making amends for his past misdeeds."

The Great Divine Transcendents of the Dongsheng Divine Continent had clearly prepared thoroughly for Taiyi’s resurrection; they even crafted such noble-sounding reasons, claiming to give him a chance for redemption.

It was only because Taiyi’s past sins were so immense and unforgivable that no one could gloss over them. Otherwise, these Great Divine Transcendents would likely have treated the matter with a dismissive "let bygones be bygones."

"..."

The Saint of Taiqing momentarily fell silent. He had not expected this group of Great Divine Transcendents to present such an argument. From a pragmatic perspective, there was indeed merit in what they said.

With his immense and indestructible power, letting Taiyi remain fallen seemed, in some ways, a waste.

Bringing him back to contribute to the Prehistoric World and to atone for the damages he caused in the past would indeed maximize benefits. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Unfortunately, the world is never short of good ideas. What it lacks is the means to implement them effectively.

Everyone understood that such an approach would greatly benefit the Prehistoric World. Yet, executing it would inevitably affect the interests of others. When faced with the choice between strengthening the Prehistoric World and themselves, who wouldn’t prioritize their own interests first and the Prehistoric World second?

A solution that benefits the Prehistoric World is not a good solution unless it also serves one’s self-interests; only then does it become a truly viable and acceptable solution.

"Nonsense!"

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign frowned, clearly disapproving of this reasoning. Raising his hand, he summoned the Pangu Banner, ready to take action.

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign always looked down upon Taiyi, even though he wasn’t a match for Taiyi himself. The reason was simple: he loathed all beings with fur and horns.

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, proud as he was, never concealed his likes or dislikes. If he did not like someone, he would express it plainly, without the slightest pretense.

He detested Taiyi. Hence, he would never tolerate his resurrection. His decision to disrupt the Resurrection Formation at this moment was entirely unsurprising and even reasonable.

Yet someone acted faster than the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

"You talk far too much!"

As a voice echoed from afar, countless worlds appeared within the Chaos, only to collapse in an instant. In the midst of this cycle of creation and destruction, a surge of reincarnation power swept toward the Great Dao Altar.

It was Jiang Chen who had arrived!

The Human Race had an unending Sea of Blood feud with the Demon Clan. Upon witnessing the attempt to revive Taiyi, Jiang Chen needed no reason or argument; he acted decisively to disrupt it.

Jiang Chen’s strike was a killing blow. He not only wielded his most formidable reincarnation ability but also unleashed all his Innate Treasures, maximizing the force of his attack in an attempt to shatter the defenses of the Great Divine Transcendents and destroy the Great Dao Altar outright.

"Not good, it’s the Star Lord!"

Seeing Jiang Chen’s arrival, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Dongsheng Divine Continent immediately abandoned their prior composure, hastily activating their respective Innate Spiritual Treasures to defend themselves with all their might.

They understood all too well that in the matter of reviving Taiyi, they could negotiate with the saints, but with Jiang Chen, no dialogue was possible.

"Attack together!"

Meanwhile, seeing Jiang Chen take action, Saint Zhunti seized the opportunity and once again wielded the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, launching an assault alongside Jiang Chen.

With Saint Zhunti stepping in, Saint Jieyin had no choice but to intervene as well. He raised the Jieyin Banner, channeling all his cultivation power into Saint Zhunti, causing the latter’s abilities to swell several-fold in an instant.

At the same time, on the periphery of the Chaos, the Human Ancestor had somehow appeared, fully activating the Human Race’s treasure, Kindling Fire, to assist Jiang Chen in the attack.

"Kill!"

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, having decided to act earlier, found himself even more resolute now that he had allies. He, too, raised the Pangu Banner alongside them.
