Chapter 1404: 943 comes one after another_2

Xihe and Chang’e were one, and although it appeared to be Chang’e who had arrived here, Xihe was able to share her perspective and observe Jiang Chen’s condition through Chang’e’s eyes.

"Enough, your sister has quite a few complaints about me, so I won’t inquire further about her affairs. However, it is true that I have been injured, and not insignificantly," Jiang Chen remarked.

"I was careless this time, thinking that becoming a Star Lord meant I could be invincible in the world, but I hadn’t anticipated being ambushed by a Chaos Demigod’s scheme and suffering severe injuries."

"If my life weren’t bound to the starry sky, I might have truly been in danger this time, possibly even dying at the hands of the Chaos Demigod rather than returning heavily wounded."

At Jiang Chen’s level of power, lies came easily, and his expressions seemed entirely sincere; even as his voice trailed off, corresponding trajectories emerged within the River of Time and Space.

If someone were to travel along the River of Time and Space to the past to verify Jiang Chen’s words, they wouldn’t see the specifics, but they would indeed discover traces of his clash with the Chaos Demigod.

Jiang Chen’s power was growing more fearsome by the day, his words having the potential to alter the past and future. This is the mark of a true powerhouse, where a single statement determines truth--if said to be true, then it must be, and what’s false becomes true. If decreed false, then it remains false, even if it is true.

"The Chaos Demigod?"

Xihe, from her far-off residence on Moon Star, was initially skeptical upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words through the shared vision with Chang’e. But after further reflection, she found herself believing a part of it.

After all, in the current world, the only being capable of wounding Jiang Chen like that would be the Chaos Demigod.

Even in the span of brief moments, Xihe concocted a rationale for the Chaos Demigod’s targeting of Jiang Chen.

There was nothing puzzling about it—if the Chaos Demigod had indeed made a move against Jiang Chen, it must have been because of the reconstruction of the Boundless Starry Sky.

The destruction of the Chaos World was the Chaos Demigod’s goal, yet Jiang Chen sought to reverse its destruction and restore Chaos World. Such an action directly conflicted with the Chaos Demigod’s intentions, and in an irreconcilable manner.

Under these circumstances, it was only natural for the Chaos Demigod to target Jiang Chen.

"Goddess Chang’e, I have a Blood Pill here for you to give to your sister as compensation for her; I just hope she stays put on Moon Star during my recovery and doesn’t cause me any trouble," Jiang Chen said, producing a Blood Pill to give to Goddess Chang’e.

"What kind of pill is this?" Chang’e asked curiously, taking the Blood Pill from Jiang Chen’s hand.

By now, Chang’e’s cultivation had undergone an earth-shattering transformation, akin to that of the Seven Fairies, all having reached the realm of Innate Dao Monarchs.

There was no surprise there; it would not be shocking to Jiang Chen if Chang’e’s strength suddenly advanced to the level of a Great Divine Transcendent.

As the main manifestation of Xihe, so long as she did not directly become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, any strength enhancement was not considered preposterous.

With Jiang Chen’s current strength, when he looked upon Xihe, he could see that this goddess of Taiyin, who had been absent for several Quantitative Calamities, had reached the venerable rank of the saints, constituting one of the most preeminent beings between Heaven and Earth.

The Most Venerable Saint!

Xihe possessing such a status was not at all surprising; on the contrary, it was somewhat bewildering that she had not yet become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos.

Logically speaking, with the Tiandi and Empress being held in equal reverence, and since Di Jun had already become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos, the Empress should not be far from reaching this state as well. It made no sense that, after several Quantitative Calamities, she remained at the level of Most Venerable Saint.

However, it’s difficult to say; perhaps Xihe harbored some ambition, which is why she deliberately stayed at that level.

As an Innate Dao Monarch, Chang’e could naturally perceive the Blood Pill’s uncommonness; the power within it was too potent, even more so than the Supreme Yin Origin she had encountered.

"Just give it to your sister, and she will naturally see the mystery of this pill," Jiang Chen instructed.

To the Tianyao Goddess, this Blood Pill could elevate her to the realm of an Innate Dao Venerable. However, for Chang’e, she could achieve that state whenever she wished, without the need for a Blood Pill.

However, this does not mean that the Blood Pill was of no use to her. On the contrary, the Blood Pill contained Jiang Chen’s life imprint, his enlightenment of the Great Dao, and his understanding of the Chaos Demigod and Pangu Great God.

If she could comprehend even a fraction of the principles from it, then even for a high-level expert like Xihe, it would be greatly beneficial.

To appease Xihe, Jiang Chen had really gone all out, offering his own life imprint for her to study.

If, despite this, Xihe still insisted on causing him trouble, then there would be nothing else to say—Xihe would be determined to be his enemy.

Under such circumstances, there should be no hesitation. No matter the cost, she must be bombed to death in the shortest possible time to prevent future problems.

"This pill!"

Xihe, who was far away on the Moon Star, suddenly stood up, her gaze intently fixed on the Blood Pill in Chang’e’s hand.

She sensed the aura of the Chaos Demigod and Pangu Great God emanating from this pill, as well as the true meaning of the Yin and Yang of the Great Dao circulating within it.

These three things were exactly what she urgently needed. The power of the Chaos Demigod and Pangu Great God could help her deduce the path ahead after reaching Primordial Chaos. The true meaning of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang could assist her in understanding the profound mysteries where the utmost Yin gives rise to Yang.

With a thought, Xihe understood Jiang Chen’s intention to use this Blood Pill to pacify her, to prevent her from meddling at a critical moment.

To tell the truth, even without this Blood Pill, Xihe did not want to become an enemy of Jiang Chen. Like Jiang Chen, she was at a critical moment and it was not suitable for her to make enemies.

Thus, Xihe had already determined that no matter what changes took place in the outside world, she would stay in the Moon Star and not emerge until her breakthrough was achieved.

In such a situation, Jiang Chen abruptly offered a huge benefit and asked her to stay put. Honestly, Xihe had no reason to refuse, as she had no plans to go out anyway.

"Agree to it!" Hearing the voice inside her mind, Chang’e smiled and replied, "Emperor Lord is too courteous. Sister has recently planned to go into seclusion, and unless it is a matter of life and death, she will not leave."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen finally put his mind at ease and nodded, "Ah, I should have visited the Moon Goddess, but unfortunately, I’m severely injured and really unable to move."

"How about this, once my injuries have healed, I will definitely prepare a grand gift and visit the Moon Palace to see the Moon Goddess."

"Then I shall wait in the Moon Palace for the grand arrival of the Emperor Lord," Tianyao Goddess Chang’e smiled back, then took her leave. She had originally wanted to stay and have more conversation with Jiang Chen. However, Xihe was urgent.

Because of the past event at the Washing Filth Spring, Xihe was extremely displeased with Jiang Chen, and if it weren’t for being compelled, she would never have allowed Chang’e to meet with Jiang Chen, fearing that they might do something that would leave her with irreparable regrets.

...

"Another one!"

After Chang’e left, Jiang Chen muttered softly to himself, then ordered people to prepare chairs, and he took out the cherished Innate Spiritual Fruit and Innate Divine Tea.

"The envoy of the Holy Mother has come, and we must not lack in propriety."

While the servant was moving, Jiang Chen even gave a few extra instructions, showing an even more grandiose attitude than when he had met Goddess Chang’e.

It couldn’t be helped. The power of the visitor was far less than that of Tianyao and Chang’e, but her status was mysteriously high, holding an extraordinary position within the Human Race.

Seeing Jiang Chen make such preparations, Cai Zhaoji thought he was about to meet some important guest and was about to take her leave. But then she heard Jiang Chen laugh and say:

"It’s alright, you stay too. The person coming is somewhat related to you. To be honest, you should probably call her ’Senior Sister.’"

"Zhaoji, you are a descendant of Emperor Xi, and your status is no small matter. Don’t undervalue yourself. Don’t think that just because they are goddesses, they are above you."

"In fact, this is not the case. Once you are happy with your entry into the Tao and have formally met with the Heavenly Emperor, then there will be no difference between you and them. You will all be goddesses between Heaven and Earth."
