Chapter 1140: 806 Hidden Opportunities (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

And the shattering of the Boundless Starry Sky dealt a devastating blow to the Heavenly River of the Nine Heavens. If the source was shattered, could the Heavenly River remain unaffected? The river that once flowed vast and infinite, piercing through the Nine Heavens, almost ceased to flow completely.

Furthermore, because of the fragmentation of the Heavenly Realm, a massive amount of water from the Heavenly River poured into the mortal world, causing a great flood. It could be said that since the beginning of the pioneer sky and earth until that time, the waters of the Heavenly River had shrunk to their smallest scale, no longer retaining the grandeur that once spanned the Nine Heavens.

Nowadays, the Heavenly River is merely a vestige of the Cycle’s lingering starlight, a mere fraction of its peak, and thus can only be called the Heavenly River, no longer referred to as the River of the Nine Heavens.

The situation in the Heavenly Realm was like this, and the conditions on the Prehistoric World were not any more promising. Not only was the continent fragmented and broken, but there was also a trend toward complete collapse.

Fortunately, the Taoist Ancestors intervened, stabilizing Heaven and Earth, and the Saints also took action, repairing the broken Chaos World. Only then did the main body of the Chaos World barely survive, preventing its total collapse.

However, after this disaster, the dispersion of Spiritual Energy from the land became an irreversible fact. Since then, the Chaos World had definitively transitioned from the Innate era into the Acquired era. The water’s Spiritual Energy of the Prehistoric World had also dissipated greatly because of this.

Although the Netherworld remained completely unscathed, the breakage of the Heavenly Realm and the land reduced the strength of the Prehistoric World’s water veins to a mere tenth of what it once was, a far cry from its former glory, and unable to sustain a path of the Saints any longer.

Therefore, when some Great Divine Transcendents saw this, they abandoned the thought of reconstructing the Prehistoric World’s water system. On the other hand, the Netherworld became a battleground for several Saints, which made some Great Divine Transcendents hesitant to get involved.

Over time, this issue was set aside. Of course, the decline of the water veins contributed to this outcome, as the water clans tightly controlled the fate associated with the water veins, unwilling to let outsiders have a hand in it.

If only one tenth of the Prehistoric World’s water veins remain, and there isn’t enough even for the water clans themselves, how could they possibly allow outsiders to join in?

Anyway, because of a series of reasons, the tremendous opportunities hidden within the water veins have always been neglected.

Later on, Heaven and Earth shattered again, causing the value of the opportunities hidden in the water veins to continue to depreciate. Today, finally, no Great Divine Transcendents are eyeing these opportunities anymore.

Initially, Jiang Chen wasn’t particularly concerned about these opportunities. After all, the chance associated with the water veins, having been devalued several times, was no longer as valuable as it once was and could not offer him much aid, so naturally, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now, one could say that ever since Jiang Chen decided to reconstruct the Prehistoric World, the value of this once-negligible opportunity in the water veins began climbing rapidly.

Once Jiang Chen successfully reconstructs the Prehistoric World, the value of this opportunity hidden in the water veins, even if unable to return to its peak, could reach a level that would stir envy in the Saints. Effortlessly, it could create several beings of great Divine Ability, second only to the Saints.

Such an opportunity naturally drew Jiang Chen’s attention once more. Not to mention, this opportunity had become alluring once again because of his actions.

If not for his reconstruction of the Prehistoric World, how could the opportunities hidden in the water veins resurface? They would only continue to depreciate over time until they became utterly worthless in the end.

Such an opportunity, arising from his own doing, was naturally of importance to Jiang Chen. If he didn’t value it, others surely would, and then it would be Jiang Chen who ended up at a disadvantage.

Jiang Chen preferred perfection in his endeavors, so he, of course, wanted to keep such a tremendous opportunity for himself. If it were taken by others, he would regret it for a lifetime.

"The Dragon Clan, the Witch Clan, Heaven Court, they all have past ties with me, and I also have a way to reconstruct the Boundless Starry Sky; this is my advantage,"

"For me, linking the Three Rivers and piercing through the Three Realms is not an impossible feat."

Reorganizing the water veins of the Prehistoric World, the greatest difficulty lies not in power, but in two aspects. First, Heaven and Earth have already shattered, making this endeavor of low value, feeling somewhat like a thankless task.

Second, this matter involves too many forces; if not handled well, it could provoke huge chaos. It could all too easily lead to much trouble and effort for nothing.

Thus, no Great Divine Transcendent was willing to take on this task.

But these problems are not at all concerns for Jiang Chen. It doesn’t matter if Heaven and Earth are shattered; he can reconstruct them.

As for the numerous involved forces? That also doesn’t matter; Jiang Chen may lack the necessary strength, but he has extensive connections.

On the Witch Clan’s side, Jiang Chen’s relationship with them was currently in a honeymoon phase; it was impossible for the Witch Clan to trouble him over such a minor matter, so persuading them would be very easy.

As for the Aquatic Clan, there was even less to say, given how highly the Five Elements Holy Beast regarded Jiang Chen, they naturally wouldn’t let their subordinates trouble him.

And what about Heaven Court? By the time Jiang Chen repaired the Boundless Starry Sky, whether the Jade Emperor could maintain his position as the Tiandi was up in the air, let alone oppose Jiang Chen.

This was the trend!

Unbeknownst to others, Jiang Chen had already grasped a power capable of influencing the great trend of Heaven and Earth. It was just that no one knew about it yet. But once he exerted his strength, he could shake the whole Heaven and Earth.

"No rush, no rush!"

"First, head to the Reincarnation Hall. So much time has passed; Mother Earth should have retrieved the twelve Duotian Shenfans by now."

Although Jiang Chen’s mind was full of countless plans, he also knew that they weren’t for him to carry out at the moment. To accomplish these deeds, needless to say, at the very least he needed to secure his position as the Human King first. Only then would he have the spare capacity to deal with other matters.

And once he got ahold of the Duotian Shenfans, he could return to the human world and attend to his own affairs.

However, thinking of Mother Earth, Jiang Chen suddenly realized an important matter that needed his careful attention. That was, following the reshaping of the Chaos World, he would inevitably offend many people.

When the Upper Qing Saints divided the ancient land of Chaos into four, no one knows how many people’s good fortunes were disrupted, causing karmic feuds with a host of Great Divine Transcendents.

Now, with the structure of the four continents established for many years, countless Great Divine Transcendents had made plans favorable to themselves according to this structure.

At this time, Jiang Chen suddenly began to reshape the Chaos World, much like when the Upper Qing Saints decided to destroy the Chaos World out of the blue, it would surely cause heavy losses to these Great Divine Transcendents, all their schemes disrupted overnight.

This was inevitable. All Jiang Chen could do was to prepare early, to minimize the losses, so that when those Great Divine Transcendents came knocking on his door, he wouldn’t be caught unprepared.

Jiang Chen knew very well that he wasn’t an Upper Qing Saint; it mattered greatly if he offended a group of Great Divine Transcendents, as he didn’t possess the formidable strength of the Upper Qing Saints that could leave those discontented yet silent.

If the losses were too great, those Great Divine Transcendents would dare to come knocking. Therefore, when necessary, Jiang Chen would have to allocate some benefits to win over some allies, to share the pressure with him.

Even Saints dare not make enemies of the entire world, so how could Jiang Chen?

Hoarding benefits for oneself wasn’t feasible. If Jiang Chen were to eat meat, he must leave some soup for others, that way at least ninety percent of those looking to trouble him would back down.

...

......

A few days later, Jiang Chen arrived near the Reincarnation Hall once again, just like before, no matter how he strained his eyes, he could not see the scenery behind the Reincarnation Hall.

"Mother Earth has not sent me a message, which means she has not yet finished her task. Thus, I might as well observe the Six Paths of Reincarnation to behold the prestige of the foremost treasure of the Prehistoric World."

Having not received Mother Earth’s summons, Jiang Chen thought it inappropriate to approach the Reincarnation Hall and instead, walked towards the opposite side. Standing there, he could perfectly observe the trajectory of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish as it revolved.

One could say that simply being able to go there was a great opportunity. Apart from the Witch Clan’s prodigy, only those Innate Ghost Gods born from the Netherworld’s Original Source could come close to this place.

As for outsiders, that all depended on Mother Earth’s mood. Certainly, members from the Demon Clan couldn’t come near this place. As for those from the Mystic Sect and Buddhist door wishing to visit, they would have to pay a huge price.
