Chapter 1040: 755 Chaos Netherworld Ape

"This is just too unlucky!"

Every time he was about to completely suppress the Chaos Demigod, an unexpected event would occur, causing the promising situation to be lost in an instant, even endangering himself.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but suspect that Wu Zhiqi, that guy, might have offended the Heavenly Dao.

"Fellow Daoist, how can I assist you?"

Controlling his emotions and keeping himself from laughing, Jiang Chen asked Wu Zhiqi.

If the issue had been noticed at the beginning, it would have been easy to resolve by just killing Wu Zhiqi outright. However, by now, the Chaos Demigod had become closely linked with Wu Zhiqi. Directly killing Wu Zhiqi would be exactly what the Chaos Demigod wanted.

As long as Wu Zhiqi perished, what would resurrect in the future would surely be the Chaos Netherworld Ape, not Wu Zhiqi. Therefore, Wu Zhiqi was now beyond killing.

"How can you help me?"

"I myself do not know. Right now, being dead would be better than living like this."

Upon hearing Jiang Chen ask how he could help, Wu Zhiqi also showed a face full of confusion.

In his current situation, he couldn’t even die. He had to keep living and desperately resist the residual will of the Chaos Demigod to prevent being overtaken and making a catastrophic mistake.

If it were in the past, Wu Zhiqi wouldn’t be as desolate as he was now. Unfortunately, a series of blows had completely broken this ancient demon.

At every critical moment when he was near success, he would encounter various accidents. Even he had to doubt, was it because he was being specifically targeted by the Heavenly Dao? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

"Fellow Daoist, you are taking it too hard. Although your situation is dangerous, there must be a solution. After all, the Chaos Demigod has long since fallen. How much disturbance can a mere remnant resent create?"

Seeing Wu Zhiqi’s tone filled with despair, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but speak out to persuade him. If the Chaos Demigod were to resurrect, he would naturally flee as far as he could. But it was just a mere residue, Jiang Chen was naturally not afraid.

He was afraid of confronting a living Chaos Demigod, but not a dead one!

"Hmm? Does the Human King have a way to aid me?"

"If the Human King can resolve my problem, then I will join the Human Race, voluntarily become a Protector of the Dao for the Human Race, and share life and death with the Human Race!"

Seemingly hearing from Jiang Chen’s words that he had a way to resolve his troubles, Wu Zhiqi eagerly spoke, even willing to sell himself to the Human Race.

What could he do? He was a great Quasi-Saint who had roamed the Prehistoric World for countless years and should have been living a carefree life Between Heaven and Earth. But now, he had been tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost by the residual thoughts of the Chaos Demigod.

If this continued, he feared he would truly become another person, replaced by the Chaos Demigod, and completely disappear Between Heaven and Earth.

Falling was not terrifying to Wu Zhiqi; he wasn’t afraid of death. What he feared was being reborn through the body of the Chaos Demigod, stripping away all that belonged to him.

Just thinking about it was horrifying: after his death, someone would assume his identity, use his body, and take over his everything—his estate, wife, children, influence...

Just the thought made his scalp tingle. If this were to really happen, it would be incredibly terrifying. That’s why Wu Zhiqi didn’t dare die!

Upon suddenly hearing that Jiang Chen had a way to resolve his problem, in his desperation, he was willing to sell himself just to get Jiang Chen to help; this was completely understandable.

After all, if he was just selling himself, his body would still be his own. Plus, the Human Race was powerful, and truly joining the Human Race might not necessarily be a bad thing.

But if he were overtaken by the Chaos Demigod, not only would he disappear, but everything of his would also belong to someone else. Weighing the two, Wu Zhiqi could clearly tell which was the lesser of two evils.

"Fellow Daoist, calm down!"

Upon hearing Wu Zhiqi’s words, a fleeting look of pleasure crossed Jiang Chen’s face, and then he quickly urged him to calm down.

Wu Zhiqi becoming a Protector for the Human Race and fighting for them—how could Jiang Chen not be pleased? You must know when King Yu had sealed Wu Zhiqi, he already possessed the initial cultivation of a Quasi-Saint. And now, although he was still sealed, his cultivation had not fallen behind.

Because of the struggle with the residual thoughts of the Chaos Demigod, Wu Zhiqi’s cultivation had not only not regressed, but had also advanced, reaching close to the late stages of the Quasi-Saint. It was foreseeable that once he resolved the hidden dangers in his body, he would immediately step into the late stages of a Quasi-Saint.

The late stages of a Quasi-Saint!

Do not think that just because there are many Great Divine Transcendents in the Prehistoric World, the Quasi-Saints are not valuable. The late stage of a Quasi-Saint, even in ancient times, was a notable existence. In the present day, it is among the top powerhouses of the Three Realms, and the Buddha is only of this level.

If Jiang Chen could have Wu Zhiqi’s help, when the Buddha returned, he would have a strong asset, capable of opposing the Buddha and thwarting the reincarnation plans of Spiritual Mountain’s false Buddha.

Of course, all of this was predicated on the condition that Jiang Chen could resolve Wu Zhiqi’s problems. If he could, Wu Zhiqi would naturally follow his lead. If he couldn’t, Wu Zhiqi’s future would be bleak, and how could he serve him?

"Fellow Daoist, may I enter your Sea of Consciousness to take a look?" Seeing Wu Zhiqi calm down, Jiang Chen asked him.

Since they had to resolve Wu Zhiqi’s problems, it was definitely necessary to enter his Sea of Consciousness, see his situation for themselves, and also his inner residual thoughts of the Chaos Demigod.

"It should be so!"

If it were normal times, Wu Zhiqi would definitely not allow Jiang Chen to enter his Sea of Consciousness. After all, the Sea of Consciousness is the foundation of the body, not even the closest kin should enter it lightly, let alone an outsider.
