Chapter 1412: 947 is for the great cause of the Human Race, the Nine Heavens’ Soil of Rest should be advanced to Level 2

In conclusion, Chang’e was deemed the best match for Jiang Chen, with the Tianyao Goddess as the second choice, followed by the Fairy of Hundred Flowers, and Yang Chan in last place.

The Goddess of Taiyin, a natural supreme being, indeed no one was more suitable to become Jiang Chen’s wife than Chang’e. After they became Dao companions, Xihe was destined to be Jiang Chen’s virtuous consort, aligning with the reproductive Tao of Yin and Yang, truly gaining the utmost favor of fate.

The issue was Xihe’s sensitive identity; she was technically still Di Jun’s wife. A good woman does not remarry, and even Empress Nuwa could not be sure she could persuade Xihe to marry Jiang Chen.

Back then, the reason she had managed to convince Xihe to marry Di Jun was due to Di Jun’s exceedingly generous terms, where the two could merely be a married couple in name and share the fortune of Heaven Court.

But later, Di Jun broke his promise, ceasing to share Heaven Court’s fate with Xihe once he had completely controlled the boundless starry sky. This breach is also why, during the late stages of the great war between Witches and Monsters, Xihe contributed next to nothing and coasted until the end of the war.

Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Xuan Ming managed to survive because initially, her foe was the slacking Xihe.

With no intention to fight to the death, how could Xihe have perished alongside Xuan Ming? If not for Xuan Ming abandoning Xihe later on and actively moving to attack Taiyi, she wouldn’t have sustained even an injury.

Truth be told, Di Jun’s breaking of the agreement with Xihe, reclaiming the shared fortune of Heaven Court, was a move of necessity. There was only so much fortune to go around, and with half of it given to Xihe, the remainder was insufficient to allow him to achieve his destined path.

Under the immense pressure from the Witch Clan, Di Jun had no choice but to reclaim the fate from Xihe to enable himself to advance into the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. However, it was this very act that thoroughly alienated Xihe.

The death of the Ten Golden Crows stemmed from this matter—it was Xihe’s retribution against Di Jun.

"There is indeed a way out... Let Xihe simply change her name. To the world, Xihe has already died, killed in the Heaven Court battle."

"If that’s the case, it’s better to have her marry Jiang Chen as Chang’e. After all, it is Chang’e, not Xihe, who is fated to marry Jiang Chen."

"But there’s no rush for this matter. Xihe is at a critical point in her cultivation; after she comes out of seclusion, I shall have a good talk with her."

For the sake of the Human Race’s grand enterprise, Empress Nuwa was truly working her heart out. In her view, Xihe marrying Jiang Chen was the best choice, both for Jiang Chen himself and for the Human Race.

This was a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial Chaos. If Jiang Chen were to marry Xihe, the Human Race could instantly gain another Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. Why would Jiang Chen have any reason to refuse such a beneficial arrangement?

Thus, Empress Nuwa never considered Jiang Chen’s opinion on this matter. As long as Xihe agreed, there was no possibility for Jiang Chen to object.

Ordinary people can refuse to sacrifice for the Human Race, they have the right, but a Human King does not. Sacrifice for the Human Race is the duty of all Human Kings through the ages.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown!

Since he took the throne of the Human King, he was expected to be prepared to sacrifice for the Human Race at any moment. What is marriage in comparison? At times, he might even need to offer his life for the cause of the Human Race.

Without even this much resolve, what kind of Human King was he? The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility. Did he really think that towering above his kin came without any price?

...

...

"Holy Mother’s Essence Blood!"

"This treasure is really impressive, eh!"

Deep in the void, Jiang Chen looked at the Holy Mother’s Essence Blood before him, his eyes filled with amazement.

To measure the value of this treasure, Jiang Chen had a simple method, which was to take it in his hands.

If the future remained unchanged, it meant the treasure had some value. But if his future changed upon doing so, then it implied that the treasure’s effect was somewhat defying the heavens.

Jiang Chen held the Holy Mother’s Essence Blood in his hand and couldn’t help but feel as if a new vitality had been injected into his increasingly weak future self. This newfound energy swept away his frailty, transforming him into a force as formidable as a dragon or a tiger, with a powerful aura spreading from him.

"What a thing this Holy Mother’s Essence Blood is; it can actually heal injuries as severe as mine. Empress Nuwa’s cultivation must have already surpassed the Primordial Chaos 9th Level."

Jiang Chen gained a clear understanding of Empress Nuwa’s strength for the first time. At the very least, she was a super powerhouse of the Primordial Chaos 10th Level, far more terrifying than any of the other saints, on par with Mother Earth, and second only to Honjan Daizu.

Jiang Chen’s injuries were fundamental and severe, ordinary Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial’s essence blood would be useless; only someone like Empress Nuwa, a super powerhouse of the Primordial Chaos 10th Level, had essence blood capable of healing such wounds.

Above the Primordial Chaos was the Wuji Daluo Jinxian, who wielded the power of Creation of the Infinite, capable of creating something out of nothing. Masters above the Primordial Chaos 10th Level were already transitioning towards this realm, their origin containing a trace of the truth of creation.

Therefore, the essence blood of a master of this caliber was considered a divine healing object, capable of treating all kinds of injuries, even those as severe as Jiang Chen’s.

"I never expected Empress Nuwa to be so strong. I thought she was only at the seventh or eighth level of the Primordial Chaos. She truly deserves to be the first existence to attain sainthood. Incredible," though Jiang Chen had already highly esteemed Empress Nuwa, considering her to be among the top tier of saints, alongside the Saint of Taiqing, he still underestimated her. By these indications, she might even be slightly stronger than the Saint of Taiqing.

However, a higher realm doesn’t necessarily mean Empress Nuwa would be a match for the Saint of Taiqing. After all, the Tai Chi Diagram is an ultimate treasure of creation, and compared to it, the Heaven and Earth Ding falls short. With the aid of such magic treasures, it’s enough for the Saint of Taiqing to bridge the gap in their realms.

The strength of the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign doesn’t lie solely in their power, but also in their possession of ultimate treasures of creation. These two treasures allow them to fight above their level within the realm of saints, which is quite preposterous.

"This Holy Mother’s Essence Blood cannot be kept. As long as it remains in my possession, my future self will always be disturbed and will not be able to successfully manifest."

Jiang Chen began to ponder how to deal with the Holy Mother’s Essence Blood. Keeping it on his person was obviously not an option, as it would interfere with his future. But giving it away was even more out of the question. Of the vast Human Race, how many could accept such a grand gift?

Those who could accept this gift certainly wouldn’t want it. And those who desired the Holy Mother’s Essence Blood were unworthy of possessing it.

"Could this be the will of Heaven?"

"Back when Empress Nuwa created humans, she used three divine objects: the Soil of Rest, Three Lights Divine Water, and Nuwa’s essence blood. Now, all three of these treasures are in my possession."

After only a moment of hesitation, Jiang Chen figured out what he needed to do. The hints from the fates were already clear—now that he held the three divine objects of creation, it was natural for him to reconstruct the lineage of the Human Race.

When Empress Nuwa created humans, despite using the best treasures from her own body, they weren’t the finest in all of Heaven and Earth. This led to inherent deficiencies in the Human Race.

Although it seemed they were crafted in the image of the innate Dao body, in reality, they had only its form but lacked its spirit. Hence, the Human Race was born exceedingly weak, becoming the most frail beings in the Prehistoric World.

What Jiang Chen needed to do now was to reconstruct the lineage for the Human Race and mend their deficiencies.

When Empress Nuwa created humanity, she was only at the early stages of a Quasi-Saint, and the essence blood she used was naturally far less potent than the drop Jiang Chen had. This was divine blood of creation, coming from a supreme being of the Primordial Chaos 10th Level.

As for the Soil of Rest that Empress Nuwa used, it was indisputably one of the top ten Innate Spiritual Treasures of the Prehistoric World, second only to the Innate Treasures—it couldn’t get much higher than that.

But even that wasn’t high enough!

Initially, within the Five Elements secret realm, Jiang Chen obtained thirty-six grains of Soil of Rest, which after hundreds of years, had split into 108,000 grains, matching the standard used by Empress Nuwa when creating humans.

But this was not the limit of the Soil of Rest, which could reach the level of an Innate Treasure, totaling 129,600 grains.

"For the great endeavor of my Human Race, the Soil of Rest should today be perfected, ascending to the status of an Innate Treasure!" Jiang Chen declared solemnly as he observed the Soil of Rest circulating within him.
