Chapter 1474: Nine Eight Four Mountains and Rivers Chart (Wish me a happy birthday!)

Set in the Ancient Era when witchcraft and monsters contended for dominance, the Mystic Sect was revered, and Innate Divine Demons were everywhere, the number of Fierce Beasts was indeed extremely scarce.

To forge various treasures, the mighty ones of that era were either hunting Fierce Beasts, or on their way to hunt them.

Not to mention, when Empress Nuwa achieved sainthood, the first thing she did was to cleanse the Chaos World of murderers.

But now, as the Chaos World has shattered over and over, significantly diminished from the past, the energy of destruction stirs in the void, boundless, giving rise to countless Fierce Beasts.

Without exaggeration, in this current era, what’s most abundant are Fierce Beasts.

Every shattering of Heaven and Earth brings forth numerous powerful Fierce Beasts. The more severe the destruction, the more and stronger the Fierce Beasts born.

The extent to which the Chaos World has shattered needs no further elaboration. This means that, in reality, there is a very large number of Fierce Beasts.

Innate Dao Sovereign Level Fierce Beasts are everywhere, and even the Quasi-Saint Level Fierce Beasts are so numerous that they surpass the Quasi-Saints between Heaven and Earth.

One doesn’t see Fierce Beasts now not because they don’t exist, but because there are people shouldering the burden and marching onward.

Look at the Human Race, look at the Mystic Sect, look at the Primordial three tribes, none of these lords of Heaven and Earth have any notable experts.

Millions of years have passed, have these forces not birthed any experts? Not that there aren’t any, but that the experts have all gone to the void rifts scattered across Heaven and Earth to suppress the Fierce Beasts.

And precisely because of this reason, over ninety percent of the experts are not visible to the common people.

...

This sacrifice to Heaven, Jiang Chen prepared not only three Quasi-Saint Level Fierce Beasts, but also twelve Innate Dao Sovereign Level Fierce Beasts, and over a hundred Dao Monarch Level Fierce Beasts.

It was Jiang Chen’s first ritual to the ancestors and Heaven and Earth after becoming a Human King, so naturally, the scale had to be grand.

Sacrificing to Heaven and Earth because they nurtured the Human Race; sacrificing to the ancestors because they braved thorns and paved the way, thereby creating a pure land for future generations.

"Sacrifice to Heaven!"

Jiang Chen, following ancient rites, placed a Quasi-Saint Level Fierce Beast corpse on the ninth tier of the altar and began the sacrificial ceremony to the heavens above.

Hum, hum, hum...

The nine-tiered altar glowed, numerous mysterious runes surfaced, enveloping the Fierce Beast corpse and transforming it into a beam of light sweeping towards the high heavens.

In the next moment, the sky trembled, and a supremely majestic presence descended thunderously.

Above the firmament, perhaps in a place unfathomably distant, it seemed that a pair of purple-gold eyes appeared, overlooking the earth from on high with an indifferent and ruthless gaze, observing the crowd atop Li Mountain.

Heavenly Dao had arrived!

In an instant, atop Li Mountain, except for Jiang Chen, everyone else including some Quasi-Saints and Innate Dao Sovereigns who had sneaked there felt their bodies stiffen, unable to move, and were filled with terror within.

That gaze was too terrifying, making them involuntarily feel insignificant, as if under those purple-gold eyes, they were nothing but ants.

"Is this the Heavenly Dao?"

"Just as legendary, unreachable and impossible for mortals to look directly at."

All being Immortal Persons, upon witnessing the emergence of those purple-gold eyes, they guessed what it was. According to the legends, that most sacred existence governing all, the Heavenly Dao!

No one dared to look directly into those eyes. The almighty Heavenly Dao, not attaining Primordial Chaos or transcendence from Heaven and Earth, one is ultimately still an ant; how can one dare to gaze directly at the Heavenly Dao that rules all?

"Heavenly Dao has truly descended!"

"And rightly so, not to mention the identity of the Star Lord, just the Quasi-Saint level offering is enough to warrant a glance from the Heavenly Dao."

"It must be said, the Star Lord is quite extravagant, using Quasi-Saint Fierce Beasts as offerings for just a king-level ritual to heaven."

"And what about later? When he becomes the Human Emperor and holds another ritual to heaven, is he going to use Great Divine Transcendents level Fierce Beasts as offerings?"

In the void, some Great Divine Transcendents murmured softly. In the Prehistoric World, although there wasn’t a hard standard for sacrifices to heaven, the general unspoken rule was a gradual improvement, with each sacrifice better than the last.

Therefore, unless one is only sacrificing to heaven once in a lifetime, it’s best not to use the best offerings at the first sacrifice, to avoid blocking one’s future path.

And clearly, Jiang Chen is not someone who would only sacrifice to heaven once in his life. Some have calculated that he has to sacrifice to heaven at least twice, if not thrice.

If he just aspires to become the Human Emperor, two sacrifices to heaven would suffice. But if he wishes to go one step further and become Tiandi, then he would need to sacrifice to heaven three times.

If he uses Quasi-Saints for the first sacrifice, then he must use Great Divine Transcendents for the second, and it must start from Primordial Chaos for the third.

"Jiang Chen is quite cunning; it seems he’s ready to roast those Great Divine Transcendents over the fire!" someone said, suddenly laughing as if realizing something.

Today, as Jiang Chen ascends to kingship and sacrifices to heaven using Quasi-Saint Level Fierce Beasts, he sets a new standard for the Human King.

Those who wish to become Human King in the future, if not surpassing Jiang Chen, must at least follow his example and use Quasi-Saint Level Fierce Beasts as offerings.

"Tsk tsk, three Fierce Beasts, all at the peak of Quasi-Saint realm, the Great Divine Transcendents are going to be busy now."

Though because of the backlash of Heaven and Earth the future is shrouded in mist, and no one can see clearly, there are still capable individuals who, by analyzing the current situation, can divine the plans of those Great Divine Transcendents who are enemies of the Human Race.
