Chapter 1060: 766 the stars shown in daylight

Suddenly, Jiang Chen had an epiphany and looked up at the sky.

It was now noon, yet above the bright blue sky, a host of stars appeared, each as large as a dipper, suspended in the firmament, shining with a brilliant radiance.

The phenomenon of stars appearing in broad daylight was a top-level anomaly mentioned in legends. It had occurred only a few times since the Great Ancient era. The last time this phenomenon occurred was at the beginning of the near ancient times, when the gods listed on the Investiture of the Gods took their places.

Now, the reappearance of this phenomenon of stars in daylight naturally related to these gods of the Heaven Court.

The power of the Heaven Court’s official gods might stem from the Fate of the Human Race, but their godly rankings were connected to the Cycle of stars. Therefore, whenever an official god manifested, a corresponding shadow of a star would appear.

The shadows were not real stars because the Cycle of stars had long shattered. Otherwise, in order to invest the Heaven Court’s official gods, the Heavenly Dao would not need to draw on the Fate of the Human Race.

If the Cycle of stars were still intact, the strength of the invested gods would be at least at the realm of an Innate Dao Sovereign, instead of the current situation where most official gods are Great Luo Golden Immortals, with few Innate Dao Sovereigns and even fewer Quasi-Saints.

"It seems the matter with senior sister has been settled."

The moment Jiang Chen saw this anomaly, he knew that the matter on senior sister’s side must have succeeded. The gods of the Jiejiao Sect in Heaven Court had been persuaded by her and were soon to send a wisp of their True Spirit for reincarnation into the Human Race.

"This is truly divine assistance for me!"

Jiang Chen seemed somewhat excited; he had just been wondering where to find some helpers, and now, it seemed his concerns were alleviated. The reincarnated forms of the Jiejiao Sect’s gods would be his helpers.

Of course, having just reincarnated into the Human Race, they were just a bunch of infants and of no use, but Jiang Chen did not need them at the moment.

When Jiang Chen would need them, decades later, they would have grown up and would be ready to serve his purpose.

"Ah, this is the treatment a protagonist deserves. Without doing anything, when the time comes, a large number of capable and virtuous people will naturally come to offer their support."

Jiang Chen felt that convincing the Jiejiao Sect’s gods to reincarnate into the Human Race was a brilliant move. They did not require his nurturing; they would naturally mature and become his support in the future, saving him an untold amount of trouble.

"Junior brother, I’ve also taken care of things on my side. What should we do next? Reincarnate directly, or should we first take a trip to the Underworld?"

The voice of Saintess Wudang suddenly echoed in Jiang Chen’s ears, inquiring about his next course of action.

The appearance of such a phenomenon as daylight stars did not mean that the Jiejiao Sect’s gods had already reincarnated but that they were preparing to do so. After Saintess Wudang persuaded the Jiejiao Sect’s gods, they had made their choice, and thus, moved by the Fate of Heaven Court, the phenomenon of daylight stars naturally formed.

Whenever a significant event was about to take place, corresponding anomalies would arise, serving as a premonition for all beings to be prepared.

"Direct reincarnation, or first a visit to the Underworld?" Jiang Chen weighed his options and, after making a decision, transmitted his voice to Saintess Wudang, "Let’s first pay a visit to the Netherworld to see Mother Earth."

"If it were just one person being reincarnated, it wouldn’t matter much as it wouldn’t cause a big disturbance, and Mother Earth might turn a blind eye."

"But with thousands of junior brothers and sisters reincarnating all at once, causing such a commotion, if we do not first visit the Hall of Reincarnation to see Mother Earth, it could provoke her displeasure, and that would be troublesome."

Mother Earth was the master of reincarnation. For a mass reincarnation event of this scale, if we did not pay our respects to her in advance, it could be seen as a slight against her dignity.

Of course, Mother Earth was merciful and might not take such a minor matter to heart, but although she could dismiss it, one should not show disrespect to her. Otherwise, it would be easy to earn a bad reputation.

To slight Mother Earth was a crime in the Prehistoric World that was even greater than slighting the Taoist Ancestors, and the Jiejiao Sect’s gods could not afford such a stigma. Even Saints would bow and address her as "Mother Earth," illustrating her esteemed status.

If the Jiejiao Sect’s gods were to disrespect her, they would likely face consequences before anyone else made a move, with the Upper Qing Saints being the first to take action in cleansing their ranks.

"Junior brother speaks wisely; I nearly made a grave mistake," came Saintess Wudang’s voice, slightly fearful.

She had indeed forgotten about the existence of Mother Earth, as Mother Earth had not meddled in worldly affairs for a long time and was incredibly low-key, causing many to overlook her presence.

According to Saintess Wudang’s initial idea, they would join forces to create a reincarnation channel and then use it to reincarnate into the Human Race, saving a lot of trouble.

But doing so would offend Mother Earth. If she did not care, it wouldn’t matter, but if she took it to heart, then this group of Jiejiao Sect’s gods would be in trouble, facing a bleak future.

If a Saint-level powerhouse decided to target them, how could they resist?

...

"Before reincarnation, we must first visit Mother Earth, and it would be best to ask her for assistance in aiding the junior brothers’ and sisters’ reincarnation," Jiang Chen reasoned.

Jiang Chen also had his calculations; having been controlled by the Investiture of the Gods for so many years, who knew if any traps had been left within the Jiejiao Sect’s gods. If Mother Earth was willing to use the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish to send them for reincarnation, then any hidden tricks would be eroded away by the power of reincarnation.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish is the foremost treasure in the Prehistoric World, with a might even surpassing the three great treasures of creation. Before this supreme magic treasure, even techniques personally set by the Taoist Ancestors would inevitably be reduced to ashes.
