Chapter 1107: 789 Confirmed 2

For the future, no matter how cautious one is, there’s no problem, because regret medicine truly does not exist. And even if it existed, it would be basically useless against beings of Mother Earth’s level.

You reverse cause and effect to rearrange the world line, could you possibly affect Mother Earth who had already become a Saint?

...

"You can’t tell me?"

Mother Earth looked deeply at Jiang Chen, remaining silent.

With her power, although she couldn’t see through Jiang Chen’s inner thoughts, she could determine whether Jiang Chen was lying or not.

Therefore, Mother Earth was certain that Jiang Chen had not lied about having a method to resurrect the Ancestral Witches.

Everyone has their own secrets, and if Jiang Chen didn’t want to speak, Mother Earth could understand. She had no intention of probing Jiang Chen’s secrets. She only needed to be sure that Jiang Chen could resurrect the Ancestral Witches.

Besides this, she had no further concerns. How deep or big the secrets hidden within Jiang Chen were, what did it have to do with her?

Mother Earth turned to Jiang Chen and said, "I agree to your plan. I can give you the twelve Duotian Shenfan, and even in critical moments, I can lend you a hand."

Resurrecting the Ancestral Witches was the most crucial matter; compared to it, everything else was just minor details.

Thus, after receiving Jiang Chen’s assurance, Mother Earth agreed to Jiang Chen’s conditions without hesitation, even guaranteeing to personally intervene when necessary.

As for Jiang Chen deceiving Mother Earth? Such a possibility did not exist. First, Mother Earth trusted her intuition; secondly, she did not believe that Jiang Chen would dare to deceive her. To deceive her in this matter would bring consequences that Jiang Chen could not bear.

Mother Earth was extremely confident in her own power. If Jiang Chen dared to deceive her, then the entire Human Race would bear her wrath, inevitably paying an unimaginable price.

Others might not dare to retaliate against the Human Race, but Mother Earth dared because she was the second most powerful entity in the Prehistoric World, only below the Honjan Daizu. If Jiang Chen dared to deceive her, he would understand what hell and nightmares were!

Unparalleled power gave Mother Earth a strong foundation; those who dared to deceive her had not yet been born.

Of course, thinking that Jiang Chen wouldn’t dare to deceive her was one thing, but the necessary words still needed to be said.

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to respond, Mother Earth continued, "The cost of deceiving me is something you cannot afford, and neither can the Human Race."

Although Mother Earth did not specify what those costs were, Jiang Chen understood. For Mother Earth to contend against the Human Race was too simple. As the master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, merely manipulating something specifically against the Human Race within the Six Paths would be enough trouble for them.

Not to mention, Mother Earth was the second most powerful entity in the Prehistoric World, with an unknown force of the Witch Clan behind her. If she truly decided to turn against the Human Race, she could easily pull them down from their dominant position in Heaven and Earth.

"Your Reverence, if I were not completely confident, why would I come to see you?"

No matter what he thought internally, at this moment, Jiang Chen had to appear utterly confident to inspire trust in his partner.

"It’s good that you are aware," she replied.

"Currently, the twelve Duotian Shenfan are on Changyang Mountain, retrieving them will take some time."

"During this time, you should stay here in the Netherworld and take a good look around. After all, a pivotal opportunity for your future should be here. Getting familiar with the environment now is better than being overwhelmed later."

After finalizing their cooperation, Mother Earth suddenly suggested that Jiang Chen stay in the Netherworld for a while.

The witch clan’s treasured, twelve broken Duotian Shenfan, now preserved by Mother Earth on Changyang Mountain, were crucially maintaining the God-killing Array. Even Mother Earth could not simply say she would retrieve them and just do so.

The Sha Qi within Changyang Mountain is currently entirely suppressed by the Twelve Duotian Shenfan God-killing Array. To rashly take away the Twelve Duotian Shenfan would cause problems with the array, leading to the leakage of Sha Qi, which would result in a grave error.

Therefore, even Mother Earth must first prepare a treasure to replace the Twelve Duotian Shenfan before she could take it and give it to Jiang Chen.

This would take some time, but not too long. With Mother Earth’s strength, it would probably only take a little over a month to handle.

But having Jiang Chen stay in the Netherworld, that was somewhat intriguing.

After thinking it over, a thought struck Jiang Chen, bringing a smile to his face as he hastily bowed deeply to Mother Earth and said, "Thank you, Your Grace, for your accomplishment. Jiang Chen will never forget this kindness."

At first glance, the words of Mother Earth seemed innocuous, but upon deeper consideration, one could discern the hidden depth in them. Jiang Chen was a living being; what opportunity should he have in the Netherworld? After careful thought, aside from his desired goal of planning for the Emperorship of Fengdu, there were no other possibilities.

Mother Earth’s request for Jiang Chen to stay in the Netherworld and take a good look around was an evident sign of her support for him to ascend and become the Emperor of Fengdu. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let him familiarize himself with the environment of the Netherworld in advance.

Within the Netherworld, various forces mingle—Heaven Court, Buddhist door, Mystic Sect... they all seem to be the masters of the Netherworld.

But what use is that? In front of Mother Earth, they are all insignificant, Mother Earth is the undeniable ruler of the Netherworld. Her will in the Netherworld is absolute—what she says, goes.

Now, with Mother Earth’s declaration to support Jiang Chen as Emperor of Fengdu, this matter is essentially settled, and opposition is futile.

Without the support of Mother Earth, even a Saint ruling in the Netherworld as Emperor of Fengdu would not last long and would eventually be ousted.

Before Mother Earth made her stance known, the position of Emperor of Fengdu was open for contention. But after she made her stance known, the position can only belong to Jiang Chen.

Suddenly receiving such joyous news, how could Jiang Chen not be delighted? Although in his heart, he had already determined that the Emperorship of Fengdu would inevitably be his and had made a detailed plan, even the most perfect plan with the highest success rate requires competition.

The position of Emperor of Fengdu, in itself, is not very attractive, but many covet it—some of the oldest Quasi-saints in Between Heaven and Earth and even some Great Divine Transcendents.

The reason being, the position of Emperor of Fengdu corresponds to the position of Emperor Ziwei in the heavens.

Those who aspire to become Emperor of Fengdu do not actually care much about the position itself; they merely want it as a stepping stone to oversee the most mysterious Purple Mist Star.

Competing against such powerful individuals, even with ample preparation by Jiang Chen, the pressure is quite significant.

But now, that pressure is gone because he has been guaranteed a spot, already designated as the next Emperor of Fengdu...

What competition? It simply does not exist!

Who wouldn’t be happy to be granted such a guarantee? Jiang Chen, not having an overly scrupulous conscience, naturally was very pleased.

Of course, he also understood that the underlying reason Mother Earth had predetermined him as Emperor of Fengdu was due to his proposed plan to revive the Ancestral Witch.

In this plan, the Witch Clan stood to benefit significantly more than the Human Race, and Mother Earth, not wishing to capitalize on the juniors’ problem, designated Jiang Chen as Emperor of Fengdu as compensation to him.

However, all of this was predicated on the successful execution of the plan. If in the future, Jiang Chen’s plan failed and he did not fulfill his promise, even if he became Emperor of Fengdu, he would disintegrate in Mother Earth’s fury.

When people die, all their achievements naturally disappear.

While happy, Jiang Chen also remained inwardly vigilant. The more Mother Earth gave him now, the worse his fate would be if he failed with his plans later.

There is no love without reason in this world—Mother Earth’s kindness towards him was not out of admiration, but for the revival of the Ancestral Witch!
