Chapter 1443: 963 Breakthrough_2

"Cycle of Stars, anchor me!"

As the Divine Fetus of Tao was about to be overwhelmed by the retaliatory power of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Chen appeared, his body brimming with endless starlight, transforming into a Space-Time Treasure Wheel that shielded the Divine Fetus of Tao.

At the same time, nearby, brilliant lightning burst forth, the Chaotic God Thunder that destroyed everything and the Divine Thunder of Heaven that cleaved Heaven and Earth appeared together, tearing everything apart.

In an instant, Jiang Chen executed supreme Divine Abilities, either to protect the Divine Fetus of Tao or to attack the retaliatory power of Heaven and Earth, attempting to weaken its force.

But it was useless!

Even with most of its power diminished, the retaliatory power of Heaven and Earth was still not something Jiang Chen could contend with. His Divine Abilities quickly shattered, almost having no effect, and the Space-Time Treasure Wheel that protected the Divine Fetus of Tao also shattered upon contact.

The Divine Fetus of Tao was disintegrating, being torn apart by the retaliatory power of Heaven and Earth, and the life force inside Jiang Chen was rapidly draining; he felt the shadow of death looming, overshadowing his future.

"Am I going to die?"

In a daze, Jiang Chen seemed to see that his once brilliantly bright future was now rapidly dimming, swallowed by the shadow of death. Millions of possibilities were quickly converging, all heading towards the same outcome—death.

He was really going to die! The future had foretold his end, destined to perish under the retaliation of Heaven and Earth.

Jiang Chen’s already fragile future, at this moment, his body also began to blur, slowly fading away.

The future body is a reflection of the future; but if Jiang Chen was going to die now, there would be no future, hence no future body either.

Ending now, there would be no future.

"Cut!"

Sensing the weakness of his future self, Jiang Chen mustered the last bit of his strength and struck towards his future self. He wanted to seize this rare opportunity to cut off his own future and achieve the complete state of Quasi-Saint.

Is it hard to sever the future? Perhaps it was challenging, but for Jiang Chen at this moment, cutting off his increasingly feeble future was exceedingly easy.

Since his future had weakened to the brink of disappearance, in the face of the current attack, it was essentially defenseless.

Whoosh~~

The power of time surged, transforming into a brilliant long blade that slashed from the present to the future, striking Jiang Chen’s ethereal future self.

The next moment, Jiang Chen’s future self burst like a bubble, turning into countless specks of light and disappearing. And with that stroke, all of his futures vanished too. The once dim future, at this moment, completely disappeared.

This was not because he had died, but because he had severed his future, stepped out of the River of Time and Space, and reined in his own timeline; no external force could any longer interfere or manifest his future trajectory.

Buzzing...

Above Jiang Chen’s head, three flowers appeared, and the last empty Dao flower also now began to display a faint phantom image, bearing a Chaos Great Axe above his head.

Three flowers perfected, each hosting an incarnation representing past, present, and future, with three Chaotic Treasures rotating above, draping down endless Dao Rhyme.

Pangu Axe, Chaos Pearl, Chaos Green Lotus—At this moment, Jiang Chen, relying on the Dao Rhyme of these three Chaotic Treasures and merging with the severed past, present, and future, formed three lifetimes, each sitting atop a flower.

A complete Dao Rhyme arose from Jiang Chen, perfecting the three lifetimes; he officially stepped into the complete state of Quasi-Saint.

Next, he only needed to merge the three lifetime bodies of past, present, and future back into his original self, and Jiang Chen could attempt to fulfill the Tao, breaking through to the realm of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

However, in the current situation, even if Jiang Chen broke through to the realm of complete Quasi-Saint, he could not resolve the immediate crisis.

With the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, the Divine Fetus of Tao dissolved, and the foundation of his ascension destroyed, even with a breakthrough, it was difficult to avert his fate towards ruin.

Everything was destroyed, Jiang Chen’s life force completely dissipated, his physical body had long been shattered, and his consciousness also plunged into obscurity.

He was truly about to die.

No miracle happened, and soon, Jiang Chen became nothingness, his physical body and soul both disappeared, even his consciousness turned into nothingness.

Far away, the entire Boundless Starry Sky trembled, and the origins of endless stars surged on the Purple Mist Star, attempting to recondense Jiang Chen’s figure and aid in his resurrection.

Unfortunately, the Power of Space-Time surged over, forcefully locking that point in time, keeping Jiang Chen in a state of near-resurrection. In the face of the backlash from Heaven and Earth, even the indestructible Jiang Chen found resurrection difficult.

The power of time solidified his state, putting him in a situation neither alive nor dead, perpetually at the moment just before his fall.

Under such circumstances, unless a powerful external force intervened, such as the ascension of the starry sky or the destruction of Heaven and Earth—extremely rare occurrences—could the shackles of time be broken, and Jiang Chen be awakened.

If no drastic changes affecting the timeline occurred, then under normal development, for at least the next million years, Jiang Chen would not appear before the people.

After all, as someone who had made significant contributions to Heaven and Earth, even if Jiang Chen committed unforgivable sins, the Heavenly Dao would not take his life.

However, an appropriate punishment, confining him for a few million years or even tens of millions of years, was still feasible.

Moreover, even if the Heavenly Dao actively released Jiang Chen, his fate would likely be like Mother Earth’s, trapped within the Boundless Starry Sky, never able to leave for life.

Freedom—this seemed to be the price Jiang Chen paid for reshaping the Human Race’s bloodline, and from then on, he had completely lost his freedom.

But was it really so?

Just at the moment when Jiang Chen’s consciousness completely vanished, a miracle occurred.

Right where he had fallen, specks of brilliance emerged, dazzling and divine, emitting astonishing vitality.

The brilliance grew more and more, becoming increasingly dazzling, and finally turned into a drop of purple blood, which contained both destruction and creation, encompassing everything, seemingly expounding the mysteries of reincarnation.

This was Jiang Chen’s blood!

With the formation of this drop of blood, Jiang Chen’s already dissipated consciousness suddenly reconverged, regaining clarity.

"This is..."

Feeling the changes within himself, Jiang Chen’s consciousness couldn’t help but emit waves of joy.

Although now he was only left with a drop of blood, for a being of his level, as long as there was a drop of blood, it meant he was still alive, not dead, and it wouldn’t be long before he could recover as before.

"The reshaping of bloodline is successful!"

"The original generation of the Human Race has transformed, from Innate Divine Demon to Innate Saints, henceforth, the source of the Human Race’s bloodline has changed, impacting all members of the race, evolving their bloodlines, and bringing forth divine power."

With just a slight thought, Jiang Chen was aware of the origin of his changes—due to the advancement of bloodlines which allowed him, already devoid of vitality, to be reborn from destruction, fostering new life, returning to the world.

The successful reshaping of the Human Race’s bloodline affected not just Jiang Chen alone but all of the Human Race.

Not just the existing Human Race, but all the Human Race since their birth had undergone changes, including those who had already perished.

Starting from the birth of the Human Race, following down the River of Time and Space to the end of time, all of the Human Race underwent transformations.

The past thus changed, affecting Space-Time, and the entire Heaven and Earth trembled, undergoing unknown changes.

In the current world, the still existing original generation of the Human Race, as well as the second and third generations, suddenly burst forth with a divine aura. Although their realms did not change, their combat power surged by more than ten percent.

And they faintly felt that their subsequent cultivation would become easier, with just a bit of arduous cultivation, they could step into new domains.

At the same time, Heaven and Earth also vibrated intensely, the originally empty void, with the reshaping of the Human Race’s bloodline, suddenly filled with many strange auras.

Furthermore, these strange auras appeared not only in the present but also in the past.

Past, present, and future, changes occurred simultaneously.
