Chapter 1118: 795 Tiankeng Jiang Chen, smart? Idiot?

"What you think is only what they intend for you to believe. The so-called Great Divine Transcendents, each profoundly inscrutable, how could they be easily seen through?"

"Every action they take is imbued with deep meaning, even their usual personalities are but a facade. Only they themselves know their true forms."

"In the Prehistoric World, one must not be fully comprehended by others; once someone is, death is not far off for them."

"Ah, indeed everyone is a cunning schemer, nobody can be trusted."

"Preconceived notions are deadly, I am still too young."

Jiang Chen slightly shook his head, feeling much emotion.

Having seen Xing Tian’s stratagem, he felt he was still too young and naive, believing he had foreseen everything without any flaws. However, his supposedly perfect plan still had a significant oversight.

This oversight was obvious, but Jiang Chen had unconsciously ignored it until now, suddenly realizing it upon seeing Xing Tian’s scheme.

All of Jiang Chen’s plans revolved around himself, seeming flawless, yet they had one major weakness—himself. If he were to die, all his plans would either collapse completely or benefit others entirely.

To sabotage Jiang Chen’s plans, or even to seize his achievements, was all too easy—just kill him, and everything could be accomplished effortlessly.

This world doesn’t stop for anyone; no one is irreplaceable. Jiang Chen might be important, but to say he is crucial to the existence of the Chaos World is impossible.

Without Jiang Chen, there are Ji Chen, Wang Chen, Zhao Chen...

In short, Jiang Chen’s plan already took shape; even without him, someone else could continue to direct it, and perhaps do no worse than him. Perhaps having a Saint take over Jiang Chen’s task of reshaping the Chaos World might even lead to better outcomes.

Besides, even if replacing Jiang Chen led to the plan’s failure, what then? The situation has already deteriorated so much; how much worse could it get?

Thus, in the matter of reshaping the Chaos World, Jiang Chen is not irreplaceable. And since he is replaceable and not unique, that means there is a possibility of his demise.

Honestly, reshaping the Chaos World is a matter of great interest. Even if it doesn’t create a Saint out of thin air, it could still give rise to a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Such immense stakes have involved a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, enough to tempt many Great Divine Transcendents.

Indeed, for the chance to become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, some Great Divine Transcendents may choose to take the risk, find a way to kill Jiang Chen, and then take his place and claim his destiny.

At this moment, don’t even bring up backing. Jiang Chen’s backing is indeed significant, but compared to the opportunity to become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, even the most substantial backing is useless.

If killing Jiang Chen could make one a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, then at least one-third of the Great Divine Transcendents would be tempted.

As for whether killing Jiang Chen would offend the Saints and the Human Race? Joking aside, once I become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial by killing Jiang Chen, why should I fear the Saints and the Human Race?

The stakes of becoming a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial are high enough to make Great Divine Transcendents risk their lives. If transcendence is possible, taking such risks is worth it.

Of course, I can’t rule out the possibility that some Great Divine Transcendents might kill Jiang Chen and then be immediately killed by an angry Empress Nuwa and Upper Qing Saints. However, Jiang Chen would already be dead by then, and even if revenge were taken for him, what good would it do?

The benefits are lost; even if Jiang Chen were revived, those Great Divine Transcendents who profited wouldn’t likely give those benefits back to Jiang Chen.

...

......

"Life is full of traps indeed."

"If one day my plan to reshape the Prehistoric World is discovered, it seems that the day of my demise will not be far off."

Jiang Chen felt a deep sense of crisis.

Indeed, there is nothing perfect in this world. While he thought reshaping the Chaos World was his opportunity for transcendence, the development of events was completely beyond his expectations. This opportunity could likely turn into the greatest calamity of his life.

If he could overcome it, the future was boundless. If not, not only would his body perish, but his life’s efforts could also end up benefiting his foes.

The old saying is indeed true: an opportunity is also a calamity; the two coexist, you in me, and I in you, inseparable. Thus, while it is an opportunity, even a slight misstep could transform it into a great calamity.

"Becoming a stepping stone on another’s path to enlightenment, all plans becoming another’s wedding gown."

"How is this possible!"

Jiang Chen clenched his fists in secret, filled with indignation about the future he perceived.

He had devoted countless efforts to his cultivation to achieve his current status. Now, to let all his hard-earned accomplishments become resources on someone else’s path to enlightenment, how could he resign himself to that fate?

Jiang Chen did not cultivate to become mere fodder for others.

"When it comes to an opportunity for transcendence, even if Saints stand in the way, I must fight."

"Thus, the moment I reshape the Chaos World, all Great Divine Transcendents who aspire to become Daluo Jinxians of the Primordial might strike against me."
