Chapter 1452: 968 Taoist Ancestors

Just as the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World were contemplating imitating Jiang Chen’s actions, the incredibly weak Jiang Chen appeared before them.

Instantly, a collective gasp echoed between Heaven and Earth.

"Ssss～"

"Is that the Star Lord?"

"What happened to him?"

"Why has he become so weak? Where is his Innate Saintly body, and why has it reduced to a Mortal body?"

At this moment, even the supreme Great Divine Transcendents of the heavens and the earth were alarmed by Jiang Chen’s condition.

His frail body seemed no different from that of Mortals, a mere breath could end his life billions of times over.

"Is this the price of altering the past? Being perpetually trapped in his weakest state until he breaks through to become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, only then can he be freed."

Soon, some Great Divine Transcendents discerned the reason for Jiang Chen’s current state. It was due to the backlash from Heaven and Earth, the price for altering the past.

"How tragic, from the clouds to the dust, such a cruel punishment, virtually a fate worse than death."

In secrecy, some Great Divine Transcendents murmured absentmindedly, clearly shaken by Jiang Chen’s ordeal.

There were many like him; the moment Jiang Chen appeared, countless Great Divine Transcendents extinguished their thoughts of altering the past and rectifying regrets. The price was too great; they could not bear it.

"The Star Lord, he’s finished, right?"

"Being fixed in the weakest moment, no different from Mortals, unable to utilize mana, Divine Ability, or spiritual soul... facing the myriad powerful foes between Heaven and Earth, his fate is worrisome!"

Suddenly, a Great Divine Transcendent maliciously suggested, seemingly enticing others to strike at Jiang Chen.

He noticed Jiang Chen’s weakness and wanted to test how much power he still retained, but worried that Jiang Chen might be feigning, he dared not risk it himself. Thus, he deliberately made provocative statements to deceive others into acting, probing Jiang Chen’s strength for him.

"Fellow Taoist, why deceive yourself and others?"

"Speaking of the Star Lord’s status, even if you are finished, the Star Lord will not be finished. There’s no need for redundant words; no one is a fool."

"If you want to test the Star Lord’s strength, just do it yourself, why use others? Such a simple strategy of provocation, who can’t see through it?"

"Fellow Taoist, do not treat everyone as fools!"

A Great Divine Transcendent chuckled lightly, showing disdain for this ulterior-motived Great Divine Transcendent. Such an argument typically treated others as fools, how many could not see through that?

"Indeed, what status does the Star Lord hold? The one who restructured the Boundless Starry Sky, a savior, even if he really has become a Mortal, he is not someone we can humiliate. If the supreme dignity of Heaven and Earth allows humiliation, then where does the dignity of Heaven and Earth lie?"

"Moreover, the Star Lord being fixed in the weakest state means only his condition is poor, it does not limit his cultivation."

"His realm remains at the Quasi-Saint full completion, he can still cultivate, continue to grow stronger, just unable to manifest this power."

Several other Great Divine Transcendents spoke in succession, showing no disrespect in their words towards Jiang Chen. Even though Jiang Chen had been reduced to a Mortal, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World still dared not underestimate him.

As long as the Boundless Starry Sky exists, let alone Jiang Chen being in poor condition, even if he were truly wasted, fallen, or turned into Tribulation Ashes, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World would not scorn him.

The Boundless Starry Sky is Jiang Chen’s foundation; as long as the starry sky remains, no matter how dire his situation, he can always start anew.

Although reluctant to admit it, the fact remains that Jiang Chen’s status now is almost on par with Mother Earth’s. The difference is, one is in the sky, the other on the ground.

"Hehe!"

The Great Divine Transcendent being outed did not get angry but just chuckled. His words had been spoken, even if knowingly a ploy, there would definitely be those who would test Jiang Chen’s strength.

There’s no helping it, Jiang Chen has many enemies. Seeing him in such dire straits, his enemies would hardly miss this opportunity.

Moreover, regardless, it’s true that Jiang Chen’s condition is poor. Having suffered such severe backlash from Heaven and Earth, his strength inevitably would be affected, which is undeniable.

Controlling the power of the Boundless Starry Sky with an Innate Saintly body compared to controlling it with a Mortal body would definitely show different levels of combat prowess.

The power remains the same, but the person wielding it differs, naturally leading to different impacts.

Jiang Chen’s enemies would certainly think of this, so taking advantage of his weakness to strike at him is inevitable.

Not to mention, Jiang Chen’s enemies are not only Great Divine Transcendents but also many weaker beings.

They lack the vision of Great Divine Transcendents and not knowing the exact situation of Jiang Chen, seeing him suddenly reduced to a Mortal, they might overthink and even assume he’s finished. It’s hard to ensure they won’t harbor ill intentions then.

Never underestimate a person’s stupidity; human actions are easily influenced by emotions, hence people often act illogically. Everyone knows that harming others does no good to oneself, but has the number of such people decreased?

These people might not have strong cultivation and might not cause serious trouble for Jiang Chen, but they can create constant small troubles, which are enough to be bothersome.

"The matter of altering the past should just remain a thought, better not to try it at all. The Star Lord dared to do so because he has the confidence, unafraid of Heaven and Earth’s backlash, but you do not have the necessary confidence."
