Chapter 1447: Nine Six Five Future_2

And in the Ancient Era, Quasi-Saints began to flood the world, making Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial the truly mighty.

According to this progression, each era should steadily advance, with each generation growing stronger than the last. By the Distant Ancient Era, Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial should have been in abundance.

Yet the reality was that due to the fracturing of the Chaos World, the entire Heaven and Earth were on a decline, making the overall environment increasingly difficult. Instead of an abundance of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, even the birth rate of Innate Dao Sovereigns was dwindling.

In the memories of these future Taoist Masters, it was the emergence of Tiandi that redirected the Prehistoric World back to its course, ushering in the era where Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial flourished.

Thus, they naturally held Tiandi in high esteem, while feeling a profound disdain for those beings that caused Heaven and Earth to regress.

"Remember, our target is those prematurely fallen Innate Saints. Affected by the ripples of the Heaven Opening Catastrophe, they perished before birth, with no timeline of their own in the future; taking their place will pose no risks."

"If we mess with those Innate Saints who are destined to be born, that’s where the trouble begins. Even those who survive to the very end, if not particularly powerful themselves, tend to have several extremely mighty friends."

"Taking their place would be like stirring up a hornets’ nest. Who knows, we might end up being struck down in the River of Time and Space by some old-timers, never to return."

The more potent Taoist Masters advised their companions, cautioning them against breaking taboos.

It was permissible to take another’s place, but only if it was someone who never existed within the Chaos World, to ensure that there were no dangers. If one accidentally took the place of a living person, they had better be prepared to face death.

"Don’t just focus on the Innate Saints. At the dawn of Heaven and Earth, in addition to nurturing the first batch of Innate Saints, a vast number of Innate Treasures were also born."

"Regrettably, just like the original Innate Saints, these Innate Treasures were also destroyed by the aftermath of the Heaven Opening Catastrophe."

"Innate Treasures and Innate Saints are of similar status, differing only in external manifestation, but their essence is the same."

"To avoid trouble, you can replace a shattered Innate Treasure, which will also transform your followers into Innate Saints."

Another Taoist Master suggested. It was apparent that these Taoist Masters shared a good relationship.

Of course, this was due to the abundance of choices; the Chaos World’s original source was so rich that anyone who came would hardly return empty-handed.

Without competition, everyone naturally got along, exchanging laughs and conversations here. But should there be competition, it would be an entirely different matter.

These people were Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial of a new era, whose followers were a world apart from the Great Divine Transcendents of the Chaos World.

The strength of their followers was crucial to whether they could break through as Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial and step into the realm of Wuji Daluo Jinxian.

Without a link to Chaos, achieving the state of Wuji Daluo Jinxian was very difficult.

It was for this reason that these new-age Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial seized this rare opportunity, returning to the Era of the Creation of the Heavens and Earth, intending to modify their followers and transform themselves into natural saints.

Their method of altering their followers was simple. Between Heaven and Earth, there were many Innate Saints that perished before they could develop sentience, leaving no trace.

These were their targets, to take the place of these destined-to-fall Innate Saints, with their own mighty power to rewrite their fates, allowing them to leave a mark within Heaven and Earth.

In doing so, they became the reincarnations of these Innate Saints, and their followers were instantly transformed. Instead of being mortals, they were now Innate Saints.

The method was simple and risk-free because these Innate Saints had left no trace, held no social ties, and naturally, no one would seek vengeance for them.

"Jiang Ming, what are you looking at over there? Here lies an Innate Sacred Embryo with Yin and Yang attributes. In its faint outline, one can even see a revolving halo of the sun and the moon, which suits you perfectly as if tailor-made. Do you want to come over and have a look?"

One of the Taoist Masters, while searching for the Innate Sacred Embryo that resonated with him, suddenly noticed his friend, the god of the sun and moon—Jiang Ming—standing at the edge of Heaven and Earth, gazing into the future, seemingly lost in thought.

"No, thanks!"

"I’d advise you to save your effort as well."

"Before coming here, my father, the emperor, already said that our mission is destined to fail. No matter what we put in, it will just be a fruitless endeavor, and we may even walk away with a lesson that will be hard to forget."

"Instead of wasting time, why not join me in overlooking the River of Time and Space and appreciate the grand epic of the Prehistoric World."

Jiang Ming, a young man as brilliant and dazzling as the sun and the moon, couldn’t help but turn slightly when he heard his friend’s call, advising with a smile on his face.

"You know me, I won’t be content without trying. Besides, not trying guarantees failure, but trying gives a chance of success—tell me, should I try or not?"

Jiang Ming’s friend shook his head, not heeding his advice. Having reached his level of cultivation, he didn’t believe in fate; even if what Jiang Ming’s father said was true, he still wanted to give it a try.

"Don’t compare with Jiang Ming. He doesn’t need these. As the son of the Heavenly Emperor, he is already the strongest follower, surpassing many Innate Saints. Having him replace the Innate Saints would only limit his development."

At that moment, another Taoist Master glanced at Jiang Ming, envy written all over his face.

There are always some people born extraordinary, possessing things others can only dream of at birth. Clearly, Jiang Ming was one of those people.

Jiang Ming just smiled, unconcerned, and turned back to gaze at the River of Time and Space.

He was watching his parents, or to be precise, his parents when they were young. He was very curious about their past.

"Who is that?"

In the present, Xihe, who was in the midst of seclusion, suddenly opened her eyes, looking back with a face full of shock and uncertainty. In her eyes, a blurry figure surrounded by the sun and moon was reflected.

"I’ve been discovered!"

Jiang Ming chuckled softly and withdrew his gaze, vanishing from in front of Xihe.

But it was that fleeting glimpse that plunged Xihe into a state of immense shock, making her anxious.

"Who is that person?"

"Why does his aura feel so similar to mine? And his face, why does it bear some resemblance to mine..."

"It can’t be!"

As if realizing a certain possibility, Xihe vigorously shook her head to dismiss that absurd speculation from her mind.

How could she have a child, and with that person, no less? It was completely impossible. Though having a son of the Primordial Level wouldn’t be too bad.

No, that’s not right...

Xihe silently recited a heart-calming mantra, forcing herself to calm down and cut off all those extraneous thoughts.

...

...

While Xihe was entangled in her thoughts, those Taoist Masters from the past had already taken action. One after another, Original Source markings emerged from their hands, branding towards their respective targets.

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

At the end of the River of Time and Space, an unsurpassed figure stood tall, wielding a Chaos Great Axe, locked in battle with a Demon God, who bore the Destruction Grinding Wheel atop his head.

It was Pangu Great God and the Demonic Power of Destruction, engaged in combat. Pangu Great God swung down his axe with force, splitting the Destruction Grinding Wheel in two, the terrifying light of the axe exploding towards the Demonic Power of Destruction.

At the critical moment, the Demonic Power of Destruction dodged to one side, the axe light that should have split him in two missed—only cleaving off his arm!

Swish...

Amidst the splatter of blood, the Demonic Power of Destruction’s arm fell into the River of Time and Space, landing smack in the midst of the future Taoist Masters from the era of the Creation of the Heavens and Earth, with one unimaginably severed limb crashing down from the past.

And then, there was no more after that; their wills all shattered, and when they regained consciousness, they were back in their respective times and spaces.
