Chapter 1015: 739 Twelve Golden Men_2

It’s like when doling out food: if humans are in charge of distribution, the same amount of money might get you more or less food depending on who you are. But if Heavenly Dao is in charge, then everyone gets a fair share.

Even for Jiang Chen, with such a dense favor from heaven, it does not come without a cost. His heavenly favor stems from his task to reshape the Chaos World.

If one day he deviates from this path, his end will undoubtedly be extremely tragic, and Heavenly Dao will not let him off.

...

......

"Sister, I need to be stationed at Nanbuzhan Continent, so I must trouble you to visit Heaven Court and discuss with our brothers and sisters," Jiang Chen said hurriedly to Saintess Wudang after seeing her agreeable expression.

The reincarnation of the Jiejiao Sect gods into the Human Race should not be delayed. As soon as the gods of the Jiejiao Sect are reincarnated into the Human Race, no matter how dissatisfied the great transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent may be, they will have to hold back their grievances and no longer dare to covet that primordial qi.

This is because the nature of the matter changes. Once the gods of the Jiejiao Sect are reincarnated into the Human Race, that primordial qi becomes an opportunity prepared by Jiang Chen for both Jiejiao Sect and the Human Race. The great transcendents of Dongsheng Divine Continent may dare to manipulate the Human Race, but they do not dare to offend the Jiejiao Sect.

Since the matter is an opportunity for the disciples of Jiejiao, they will in no way harbor designs on that primordial qi again, so as to avoid offending the Upper Qing Saints.

The Human Race may have Empress Nuwa behind them, and these divines still dare to scheme against them, but they do not dare to offend the Upper Qing Saints. It’s not to say that the Upper Qing Saints are more formidable than Empress Nuwa, but having already offended Empress Nuwa, if they further offend the Upper Qing Saints, then they are truly done for.

Offending one Saint is not something they fear. But offending two Saints is something they will need to think twice about.

"Alright, leave this matter to me. Our younger brothers and sisters will not refuse," Saintess Wudang asserted curtly after realizing the situation, taking on the task.

Reincarnating into the Human Race with fewer conditions attached means less will be required in the future; thus, it is best that no conditions are set forth at all.

"Thank you, Sister," Jiang Chen bowed and thanked Saintess Wudang.

The reincarnation of the gods of Jiejiao into the Human Race is a win-win situation. The gods of Jiejiao can regain their freedom through it, and the strength of the Human Race will be bolstered as a result of their reincarnation.

At a time when the Human Race is beset on all sides, the emergence of a large number of experts is beneficial in any case.

Do not think that by the reincarnation of the gods of Jiejiao into the Human Race, the latter is at a loss. In reality, the Human Race cannot lose in any case. Once they have trained successfully, if they continue to stay with the Human Race, they can become its foundation.

If they leave the Human Race, they must fight to the death for it and also return all of the primordial qi absorbed during their human life. Only in this way can their karma be completely severed.

"Brother, there are over a thousand disciples in our Jiejiao Sect. Do you have enough primordial qi for them all?" Suddenly, Saintess Wudang recalled something and could not help but ask Jiang Chen.

At its peak, the Jiejiao Sect had tens of thousands of disciples. Although not as many ascended to the Investiture of the Gods, around one-tenth did, no less than a thousand people.

So many disciples of Jiejiao reincarnating into the Human Race all at once, Saintess Wudang was genuinely concerned that the primordial qi Jiang Chen had prepared would not suffice.

It is important to realize that when these disciples ascended to the Investiture of the Gods, even the weakest among them had the cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortals, with the strongest approaching the Innate Dao Sovereign Realm. Now, after tens of thousands of years during which they could not cultivate, they had still accumulated significant merit.

Once they resume cultivation, with their profound base and sudden progress, it is not difficult to say that not every one of them will achieve the Innate Dao Sovereign Realm, but reaching the prehistoric Daluo realm is quite attainable.

A thousand prehistoric Daluos—just imagine the resources required to sustain so many powerful beings at once. And that’s just the disciples of Jiejiao, not to mention that on Nanbuzhan Continent, the majority are powerful beings from the Human Race.

Combining the needs of the Human Race experts with those of the Jiejiao disciples, the resources required are nothing short of astronomical; just thinking about it is headache-inducing.

"Sister, rest assured, the resources I have here are definitely sufficient," Jiang Chen confidently responded.

He did indeed have confidence; in order to revive the Nine States, the resources he prepared were not only those primordial qi, but he also had other backups.

Otherwise, he would not dare propose the reincarnation of the Jiejiao Sect’s gods into the Human Race.

Previously, why had he not invited the disciples of Jiejiao Sect to reincarnate into the Human Race? It was because the resources of the Human Race were limited; providing for his own disciples was already a strain, how could he possibly sustain so many from the Jiejiao Sect.

It was only now that the Human Race had suddenly prospered, that Jiang Chen dared to do so.

"Since you have everything under control, I can rest assured. I will set off for Heaven Court now,"

"Once I have discussed with all our fellow disciples, I will inform you. Please prepare yourself in advance."

Having said this to Jiang Chen, Saintess Wudang left the Nine States and headed for Heaven Court.

...

......

"It’s time for me to take action as well."

After Saintess Wudang left, Jiang Chen got up to stretch his legs and started to prepare for the subsequent plans.

In the few days he had been in seclusion contemplating the Tao, he had received many pieces of information from Heaven and Earth. Such as the locations of the sealed ancient demons and also, some of the Human Race’s secret realms were about to emerge.

The city of Xianyang, which had disappeared underground without a trace, was now suddenly releasing a faint aura, showing signs of re-emergence.

And the real treasure trove of the First Emperor was in the city of Xianyang.

If Jiang Chen’s memory served him right, the twelve golden men created by gathering the weapons of the land, as legend had it, were in the First Emperor’s treasure trove.

At the time, Jiang Chen did not know what the twelve golden men were; he only knew they were twelve extremely powerful treasures. But now, through various sources, he had learned of the true origins of the twelve golden men.

They were twelve incredibly powerful puppets!

In legends, the First Emperor had obtained part of Chiyou’s legacy as a child. That part of Chiyou’s legacy recorded information related to the Twelve Ancestral Witches or, in other words, related to the God-killing Array of the Twelve Dutian.

With a gift from the heavens, the First Emperor, based on the God-killing Array of the Twelve Dutian, innovated a method of refination. By virtue of this method, the Emperor gathered weapons from all over and forged twelve golden men.

Each of these twelve golden men possessed the strength to match an Innate Dao Sovereign and, when combined, even a Quasi-Saint would avoid their edge and dare not contend with them.

The source of the twelve golden men’s power did not come from the True Spirits of the Ancestral Witches scattered across Heaven and Earth but from all kinds of Sha Qi permeating the space between Heaven and Earth.

Once the twelve golden men were complete, they could naturally gather the Sha Qi from the surroundings. The more Sha Qi they absorbed, the stronger they became.

And this was where the First Emperor’s brilliance truly shone. Gathering Sha Qi to form an army was considered a groundbreaking accomplishment; it severed the connection the God-Killing Array of the Twelve Dutian had with the Witch Clan.

If the motive force of the twelve golden men originated from the power of the Ancestral Witches, they would indeed be immensely powerful, but this would also make them the perfect vessels for resurrecting the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Over time, constantly influenced by the power of the Ancestral Witches, they would become assimilated and turned into a part of them.

In this case, the twelve golden men would become treasures of the Witch Clan, with no relation to the Human Race anymore.

By the First Emperor’s forming golden men out of Sha Qi, he averted this possibility. No matter how much Sha Qi the twelve golden men absorbed, they would not be tied to the Witch Clan, thus never slipping from the control of the Human Race.

The First Emperor wanted the Human Race to firmly grasp the twelve golden men, for they were a supreme treasure he had crafted for the race. Just as the Xuanyuan Sword was to Xuanyuan, he was preparing to prove his worth as a sovereign with the twelve golden men and compete for the position of Human Emperor.

The First Emperor envisioned raising the twelve golden men all to the level of Quasi-Saints. Then, combined, they would have the power to rival a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

At that time, with the strength of the twelve golden men, he could easily overcome the Heavenly Curse and become the Human Emperor. And with the twelve golden men to suppress the Human Race, he could sweep across Heaven and Earth, recreating the glory of ancient times.

Regrettably, the First Emperor ultimately fell short in his scheme. The creation of the twelve golden men was excessively difficult; even with all the resources of a nation, he only managed to elevate them to the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign. To advance further, it required a prolonged period.

However, the Heavenly Dao did not grant him that much time; before the twelve golden men could be fully actualized, he met with a dreary demise.
