Chapter 1119: 795 Sky Pit, Jiang Chen, Smart? Fool?_2

"At that time, it would truly be a situation with no way out."

It wasn’t that Jiang Chen was pessimistic, had he not anticipated this, it would have been another matter. But now that he had foreseen it, he could no longer afford to be optimistic. He had to prepare for the worst.

Moreover, as previously mentioned, the opportunity for Tao achievement was at stake, and even in the presence of a Saint, there would be those who would contend for it. Not to mention Jiang Chen was no Saint, and his deterrence was far from sufficient to intimidate others. Thus, the number of Great Divine Transcendents aiming at him would only be greater.

Mortals know to pick the softest persimmons to squeeze, let alone the Great Divine Transcendents.

One could foresee that once Jiang Chen began reshaping the Chaos World, the number of Great Divine Transcendents who would want to kill him and plunder his creation would undoubtedly be vast.

Therefore, it wasn’t that Jiang Chen was being pessimistic, but the situation itself was so dire. The future he foresaw was highly likely to come to pass.

Compared to achieving Tao, what did life and death count for? If one cannot achieve the state of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, it would be better to die.

The number of Great Divine Transcendents thinking this way was not small. They were not even afraid of life and death; how could Jiang Chen’s background scare them?

"Certain death!"

"I truly did not expect that reshaping the Chaos World would harbor such a huge pitfall."

"A gigantic pit indeed!"

"No wonder since the shattering of the Prehistoric World, despite the numerous Great Divine Transcendents, no one has thought to reshape it."

"It turns out it’s not that they couldn’t but that they dared not!"

"With such a pitfall present, who would dare to attempt reshaping the Chaos World? They would inevitably meet their demise, and under such circumstances, naturally, nobody dares to make a move."

"To think I considered myself supremely clever, the first to think of this brilliant idea of reshaping the Chaos World to achieve Tao. Now, it seems I was too naïve."

"Such a huge pitfall, and I didn’t see it, just jumped right in, truly foolish to the core."

Having understood the whole situation, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but show a bitter smile on his face, previously thinking he was the only sober man in a world of drunks, the cleverest among the countless Great Divine Transcendents.

Thinking about it now, he almost wished he could slap himself twice; in the end, it wasn’t others who were foolish, but himself.

This huge pitfall I hadn’t seen, yet I jumped right into it happily; I fear once this matter spreads, there will be countless "fools" in my eyes, waiting to laugh at this "clever man’s" blunder.

"I underestimated the people of the world!"

Jiang Chen sighed deeply, beginning to introspect; he had indeed been too arrogant, feeling superior deep down, thinking he was a transcendent just because he was from another world, looking down on the natives of this realm.

This mindset was unacceptable; should it not change promptly, Jiang Chen would sooner or later suffer a great loss because of it.

Thinking carefully, among those of the Prehistoric World, which of the Great Divine Transcendents wasn’t a cunning veteran who had survived countless schemes? Each one was cleverer than the last, and trying to outsmart them, how difficult would that be?

They possessed high intelligence, unimaginable experiences, and profound expertise. Compared to them, Jiang Chen had no advantage, except for being forewarned. In such a case, to think he was smarter than those Great Divine Transcendents was sheer arrogance.

It was a good thing that Jiang Chen had this timely epiphany; otherwise, by the time he reshaped the Chaos World, he would have paid an unimaginable price for underestimating them.

...

Just think about it; the Prehistoric World teemed with capable people. How could a plan as simple as reshaping the Prehistoric World not have occurred to anyone?

It was precisely because there were too many clever people that those who thought of the plan to reshape the Chaos World were also numerous, which led to mutual trepidation, deterring any from acting rashly.

There is only one Chaos World, so the person capable of reshaping the Chaos World could only be one. Yet, many have thought of this plan. What should they do then?

Certainly, some may think, since there are too many people thinking about this plan, I shall not be the one to charge forward. Let others take the lead in this matter, while I hide in the shadows, silently observing everything.

Waiting for the right moment, the instant when the Chaos World is about to be reshaped, to suddenly act, seize the creation of others, and in one fell swoop, achieve the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

This plan could truly be called perfect.

Creation is much harder than destruction, so how difficult it must be to reshape the Chaos World? It exceeds the destruction of the Chaos World manyfold. Therefore, if a Great Divine Transcendent wishes to accomplish this deed, they must devote all their energy.

And when their arrangements are complete, the moment the Chaos World is about to be reshaped, they would have exhausted all their energy. At the same time, this would also be when they are most vulnerable.

Thus, striking at this moment, slaying them, and seizing their achievements, the probability of success is extremely high. Who could resist such a temptation, to effortlessly seize the creation of others?

Therefore, this plan is very tempting.

However, as previously mentioned, there are too many clever people in the Prehistoric World, and what some could think of, others would inevitably also think of.

So, here’s the issue. Knowing that others are waiting to seize your creation, who would dare to be that front-runner?

Even those who are keen on reshaping the Chaos World, under these circumstances, they too would not dare to act. They are also afraid that after all their hard efforts, it would all benefit someone else.

It’s too frustrating; even in death, one would not be content.

It can only be said that having too many clever people is not necessarily a good thing. With everyone wary of each other, no one dares to be that front-runner, and thus, the task of reshaping the Chaos World has been set aside.

Until Jiang Chen appeared, things changed.

Jiang Chen was naive, believing he was the cleverest person under the sky, and came up with this grand plan to reshape the Chaos World, unthinkable for ordinary people.

He didn’t realize that he was actually the biggest fool under the sky, seeing only half of the situation. He saw only the benefits of reshaping the Chaos World but failed to see the hidden pitfalls behind this task.

If it were such a good deal, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World waiting to follow the Dao would have swarmed over it long ago. How could it be Jiang Chen’s turn?

Everyone hesitated not because they didn’t want to, but because they were waiting for someone else to take the lead. They waited for countless eons.

And now, they had finally found their front-runner, the naive Jiang Chen who thought he was very clever. The Great Divine Transcendents didn’t even need to secretly prompt him; he voluntarily jumped into the pit with a laugh.

What a... good person indeed!

That being the case, the Great Divine Transcendents waiting to follow the Dao didn’t yet know about Jiang Chen’s plans. If they did, they probably couldn’t help but come out and unanimously praise Jiang Chen as a truly outstanding good person.

Even then, Jiang Chen wouldn’t need to do much. Those Great Divine Transcendents waiting for the Chaos World to be reshaped would quietly clear the obstacles on his path, ensuring he could develop peacefully.

Jiang Chen had envisioned the script that followed. After reshaping the Chaos World, he would undoubtedly be hailed by those Great Divine Transcendents as a saint unprecedented and unrivaled, ranking second only to Pangu Great God.

However, unlike with the other saints, he would be dead. How did he die? Of course, not at the hands of the Great Divine Transcendents, but from exhaustion.

To reshape the Chaos World, Jiang Chen had given too much; even at the final moment, he chose to emulate Pangu Great God, transforming into all things, allowing the broken Chaos World to be completely reshaped for countless eons.

It was precisely because he emulated the heroic deed of Pangu Great God that Jiang Chen’s greatness was highlighted, becoming a true saint in every sense of the word, esteemed above other saints and second only to Pangu Great God.

Jiang Chen needn’t worry, for those Great Divine Transcendents would arrange everything clearly for him after his passing, absolutely in a grand and flawless manner.

No one would dare to question it either; anyone who dared to challenge it would surely be crushed to dust.
