Chapter 1182: 828 The Hidden Danger of the Tao of Divine Artifacts_2

And from that moment, the stars that all beings saw were no longer the Cycle Stars, but rather the starlight burst forth when the Star Lords transformed the power of the stars. It was just that the starlight was so brilliant that, to the eyes of the people in the world, they seemed just like individual stars.

The starlight transformed by the gods was only a fraction of the power of the Cycle Stars, not all of it, not even enough to fully satisfy the needs of all beings, let alone supply the Underworld.

Therefore, from the current situation, it would be difficult for the Underworld to be complete, it was even already hopeless.

"Fortunately, I am here!"

Jiang Chen focused a part of his mind and, following the senses through the obscurity, crossed layers of space to arrive at the Beijulu Continent, where the Cycle Divine Palace was located.

There, a group of stars revolved around a massive temple, continuously rotating and bursting out infinite starlight, illuminating the entire void with brilliance.

This was the Cycle Divine Palace, Jiang Chen’s key to mending the Boundless Starry Sky and reshaping the Great Ancient Nine Heavens. And now, it was not far from achieving this goal.

The treasures Jiang Chen had obtained from Ruined Land, such as fragments of the Great Ancient Nine Heavens, fragments of the Cycle Stars, and various powers of the Primordial Level, had mostly been devoured by the Cycle Divine Palace.

With this aid, the Cycle World within the temple became more complete, vaguely surpassing the Great Thousand Worlds, advancing towards the status of Universe World.

Of course, it was just tending that way, and truly achieving this step was tremendously difficult— even if all the treasures Jiang Chen obtained from the Ruined Land were consumed, it still wouldn’t be enough.

The Great Thousand Worlds equate to a Quasi-Saint, the Universe World equates to a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. The Cycle Divine Palace’s current level is akin to that of a Great Divine Transcendents, already beginning to embrace Primordialisation.

But to truly become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, seeing how few of the current Great Divine Transcenders have achieved this, illustrates the difficulty.

However, the Cycle Divine Palace is ultimately different; being a Divine Artifact, it does not adhere to a steady and cautious strategy—it can take shortcuts.

And this shortcut, Jiang Chen had already planned; it just waits to devour all the treasures obtained from the Ruined Land, then rely on this shortcut to instantly ascend and directly become a Vast Universe Divine Artifact, reaching a state comparable to a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

"Soon, very soon, it won’t be long before the Cycle Divine Palace grows to its limit, and then, it will be sent into the Boundless Starry Sky, allowing it to merge with the shattered Cycle Stars to gain sufficient power for promotion and simultaneously mend the Boundless Starry Sky."

Jiang Chen’s gaze upon the Cycle Divine Palace was filled with an unprecedented brilliance; this was another path for him to achieve the Tao through a Divine Artifact. Moreover, this path was about to be realized, even faster than the path of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Not needing one million years, at most a thousand years, or even less than that, this path to achieve the Tao would be realized, turning concept into reality.

The shortcut Jiang Chen chose for the Cycle Divine Palace was to let it merge with the shattered Cycle Stars and subsequently mend the Boundless Starry Sky, thus achieving a win-win result. The Divine Palace would be promoted, and the Boundless Starry Sky would be mended—isn’t that a win-win?

Moreover, by doing so, a Vast Universe Divine Artifact is still not the limit for the Cycle Divine Palace; how immense is the power contained in the Boundless Starry Sky? Could one Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial fill it? Even ten of them wouldn’t be enough.

Thus, even letting the Cycle Divine Palace merge with the shattered Cycle Stars could only mend a small part of the Boundless Starry Sky, leaving most of the starry sky in a state of ruin, waiting to be mended.

The subsequent path of promotion for the Cycle Divine Palace involves mending the Boundless Starry Sky step by step. Once it completely mends the Boundless Starry Sky, that would be its moment to advance further and become an Artifact of All Heavens.

All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, this is a world beyond the Universe World and is the current level of the Prehistoric World. The Prehistoric World, having broken many times, finally fell from the highest world, breaking into the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

And the corresponding realm is the Wuji Daluo Jinxian or the Creation of the Infinite Realm. This is the realm of the Creator, the Lord of Creation, governing all creation. Some weaker Chaos Demigods are in this realm.

At present, except for Honjan Daizu who might reach this realm, the Seven Saints and even the other Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial are still some distance away from this realm.

As for the Heavenly Dao?

It is without a realm. It embodies the will of the Chaos World as a collection of rules. Its power is beyond imagination, only next to the Great Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao weren’t powerful enough, how could it suppress those Chaos Demigods from daring to show themselves?

"The power of a Divine Artifact is the power of its master. As long as the Cycle Divine Palace upgrades to a Vast Universe Divine Artifact, what difference do I have with a true Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial?"

The Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, this truly is the worthy place of the Prehistoric World. Only upon reaching this realm can one be fearless. And now, Jiang Chen is not far from this realm. A thousand years, a mere blink of an eye, is nearly within reach.

"The Tao of Divine Artifacts, even surpasses the Divine Dao!"

Looking at it now, Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the Tao of Divine Artifacts is many times more mysterious than the Divine Dao, and it can entirely be regarded as a supreme Great Dao, with no need to consider it a branch of the Divine Dao.

Pangu Great God pioneered sky and earth, for what? It was to attain the Dao! This is pioneering the sky and earth to perform the Dao.

Think about it, what is the difference between the Tao of Divine Artifacts and the path taken by Pangu Great God? Both are pioneering sky and earth, both for the sake of performing the Dao.

The difference is, Pangu Great God was more extreme, directly pioneering Heaven and Earth from Chaos, and eventually even transformed his body into all things, paying the price of his own body to make Heaven and Earth more perfect. Whereas the Tao of Divine Artifacts integrates the world with the art of tool refinement, pioneering sky and earth within magic treasures.

The essence of the two is the same, but one is by oneself and the other is by external means, each with its pros and cons, all for the sake of attaining the Dao.

"Separating the Tao of Divine Artifacts alone, it is also a supreme Great Dao, even superior to the Divine Dao. After all, the Divine Dao depends on the world for its existence, but a Divine Artifact itself is pioneering a world."

At this moment, Jiang Chen finally realized that he had previously thought of the Tao of Divine Artifacts too simply, almost missing a great opportunity.

Think about it, the Divine Dao itself, isn’t it serving the Divine Artifacts? The power of the Divine Dao comes from the rules of Heaven and Earth, relying on Heaven and Earth to exist, while a Divine Artifact is its own Heaven and Earth.

This means that within every Divine Artifact, a complete divine system can evolve, enshrining gods with the power of Heaven and Earth, and then the gods collaboratively evolve Heaven and Earth, gradually making it stronger, step by step advancing.

Divine Artifacts and the Divine Dao, naturally a perfect match, can complement each other and together aspire to the highest realm.

"However, although Divine Artifacts are good, in the end, their essence is merely plundering Heaven and Earth to enrich themselves, which is a great harm to Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the most suitable place for the Tao of Divine Artifacts is not the Prehistoric World but the vast Great Chaos."

"Chaos is not only vast and boundless, but it also lacks any order. There, Divine Artifacts can freely plunder everything without any worries."

Although excited in his heart, Jiang Chen soon recognized the drawbacks of Divine Artifacts, harming Heaven and Earth to enrich themselves. It was for this reason that the Demon Clan fell. If Jiang Chen does not want to follow in the footsteps of the Demon Clan, it is better not to pass down the Tao of Divine Artifacts.

Otherwise, in the future, if the Tao of Divine Artifacts flourishes, and everyone thinks about plundering Heaven and Earth every day to strengthen their own worlds, over time, they might grow stronger, but the Chaos World would be ruined.

Just thinking about this scenario, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but shiver coldly. If it really came to that, not only would the Tao of Divine Artifacts be in trouble, but he, the initiator of the Tao of Divine Artifacts, also couldn’t expect any good outcome.

Harming Heaven and Earth with no benefits, like locusts devouring resources everywhere, this action would inevitably provoke public outrage, resulting in various experts uniting to jointly encircle and suppress the cultivators of the Tao of Divine Artifacts.
