Chapter 1390: 936 Future Jiang Chen_2

The universe of my past life was vast, and yet it was like a paper mache, brittle to the touch and shattering at the slightest contact, fundamentally incapable of nurturing any formidable warriors.

And now, because I reshaped the boundless starry sky, the universe I was in during my past life would probably never appear again.

After the starry sky was remodeled, the future of the boundless starry sky began to change, moving towards a completely different path. The future it originally aimed to achieve quickly grew dim, until it completely faded into nothingness.

This is the future, unpredictable and inscrutable. Any decision now can change the predetermined future, influencing its course.

The reason why my past self suddenly became complete is related to this; the future of my past life is gone, and naturally, so am I.

At this moment, Jiang Chen can truly be considered the only one, having completely resolved the hidden dangers within himself. If his future self still existed, then one day, he would once again traverse the Prehistoric World, creating an unending cycle that never ceased.

Destroying my own future, from another perspective, meant that Jiang Chen had stepped out of the cycle of transmigration, freed from the destiny of repeated traveling through time.

"Cultivation is truly fraught with dangers at every step. I never thought I had such a weakness. If I don’t eliminate that ’me’, when the time of my transmigration arrives, won’t I continue to travel through time?"

These words might seem difficult to understand, and in fact, Jiang Chen didn’t understand them either, his comprehension vague. This involved the principles of the Great Reincarnation. If he had understood it, he would have already transcended the realm of Primordial Chaos.

The Way of Reincarnation was not something he could presently touch. All he could grasp was a superficial power of reincarnation.

Rustle!

The world created by Jiang Chen’s past life, that beautiful starry expanse, suddenly shattered completely, dissolving into countless specks of light that faded away. Where it once was first became dim and then turned into nothingness.

"Alas!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but let out a sigh, a feeling indescribable rising in his heart. He stood there, dazed, gazing at the place where his homeland had disappeared, lost in thought for a long time.

It wasn’t until a moment later, when footsteps approached, that Jiang Chen finally came to his senses.

"Who?"

Jiang Chen, now alert, could not hide the shock in his heart as he looked towards the source of the footsteps. He had not expected that within the future starry sky, there could still be the presence of others.

"You are...?"

The instant he saw the approaching figure, Jiang Chen froze in place.

What did he see?

He saw another version of himself, crowned with a crown of myriad stars, dressed in Cycle star robes, with one hand behind his back, stepping on starlight, walking towards him step by step from the depths of the starry sky.

That was his future self!

Terrible!

An unimaginable terror!

At the sight of his future self, Jiang Chen felt a suffocating aura, an unimaginable oppression looming over him, causing his body to tremble incessantly, as if it were about to explode.

Too powerful, the future Jiang Chen was not just a simple Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. He had walked far beyond this realm, at the very least he was at the supreme level of Primordial Chaos 9th Level, or perhaps even stronger.

It makes sense, the entire boundless starry sky had been repaired, with billions of stars shining, countless civilizations reflecting each other, and myriads of races flourishing here. The power of the future Jiang Chen, capable of accomplishing all this, is conceivable.

He was a top-level powerhouse among Heaven and Earth, more terrifying than many Saints. Even if he had not become Tiandi, he was not far off.

"The past me?"

The future Jiang Chen approached and said with a puzzled expression, looking at the Jiang Chen standing before him.

"That shouldn’t be right. At my level, the past, present, and future should have merged into one; there shouldn’t be a past me."

The future Jiang Chen, his face full of confusion, could not comprehend how Jiang Chen came to be.

To suggest it was an impersonation was impossible; with his current strength, even if the Taoist Ancestors were to personally use their Divine Ability to transform, they could never fool his eyes.

If it wasn’t someone else impersonating, then the existence of Jiang Chen would be inexplicable, for he had no past left, whence came this past self?

"Me, from the future!"

If the future Jiang Chen’s tone was full of doubt, then the current Jiang Chen’s tone was full of certainty.

The future Jiang Chen was a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, integrating past, present, and future; therefore he had no past. But the current Jiang Chen wasn’t so, he had only cut off his past, his present and future still remained.

Thus, he had no past, but still had a future.

"So it is, seemingly real yet illusory, you are real, yet I am false."

The cultivation of the future Jiang Chen was immense. From Jiang Chen’s reaction, he quickly understood the reason behind events.

The other was a real existence, but himself, he was a future from the other’s dream. In other words, he, the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, was the form of the other’s future self in a dream, an illusory existence.

"Come to meet your future, hm? That is good, too."

"I already know your purpose. Since it is due to you that I exist, naturally, I will fulfill your wish. Will you make a move? Show me all that you are capable of, and let me help you advance a step further."

Being one entity, why differentiate each other? Without Jiang Chen speaking, his future self already understood the purpose of his visit and spoke directly, letting him demonstrate all he had learned.

He was here to help Jiang Chen break through, to sever his current self, and to reach the late stage of Quasi-Saint. Don’t forget, the reason why Jiang Chen appeared here was because he sensed an opportunity for breakthrough. And where was this opportunity? It lay upon his future self.

The current self, is him at this very moment.

Then how should he sever this current self? The answer was quite simple: kill his current self, and naturally, he could sever his present existence.

However, the current self had the same strength and intellect as him, and all that he had learned in his life was also the same. There was no gap between them; should they truly fight, even after ten thousand years, they could not determine a victor.

A person can defeat his past self, and even perhaps his future self, but can never overcome his current self.

Two people exactly the same, even their intentions interconnected, if you are strong, so am I, if you are weak, so am I, if you are injured, so am I...

Under such circumstances, there was only the possibility of mutual destruction; there was no hope of victory.

Jiang Chen had previously thought that the hardest to sever was his future self, always stronger than his current self by a thread. But it wasn’t until after severing his past self that he realized, the hardest to sever was actually the present.

The state of the present could influence the future, so the future might not necessarily be overwhelmingly strong, there was still the possibility of defeating it. Only the present was comprehensive, three hundred sixty degrees with no blind spots, fundamentally no place to strike.

Jiang Chen thought for a long time and did not find a way to sever his current self, until this moment, he suddenly realized, the method to sever his past self, was actually so simple.

A person cannot defeat his current self, but a powerful future self can. The method Jiang Chen thought of, to sever his current self, was to use the power of his mighty future self to kill his current self.

If now does not work, then borrow the power of the future.

The future Jiang Chen of the dream, exists for this purpose, specially to help him sever his past self.

"Kill!"

Jiang Chen did not hesitate, as soon as he made his move it was the strongest divine ability he had recently grasped.

They saw, countless deities’ phantasms appearing behind him, billions upon billions, endless, forming an ineffable formation, hands forming seals, voice issuing a grand sound.

If one listened carefully, one could even discern that these deities were casting the Great Wish Technique, making a multitude of wishes.

These wishes, large and small, but billions upon billions of deities making wishes all at once, the combined force of their powers unleashed was undoubtedly terrifying.

Golden willpower surged forth, endless and boundless, gathering around the deities, gradually transforming into a phantom of Heaven and Earth, the sky with the Sun, Moon, and Stars, the image of Heaven Court materialized.

The earth with the myriad tribes of the Chaos World, the phantom of great mountains and rivers materialized, below lay the netherworld, the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation materialized.

Together, these visions made up a complete Chaos World, not the Ancient Chaos, but a more perfected Chaos World as imagined by Jiang Chen.
