Chapter 1532: Chapter One Thousand Fifteen Return_2

What’s so surprising? That’s Jiang Chen, who cannot be measured by common sense. Whatever outrageous thing happens to him, it’s considered normal.

The Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World have been numbed by shock from Jiang Chen. No matter how outrageous, as long as it’s related to him, they wouldn’t be surprised, instead they would say, "Just as expected."

How preposterous!

A Saint under a thousand years old, what does that concept represent? A miracle unseen from ancient times to the present, making all other Great Divine Transcendents look like failures in comparison.

At this moment, let’s not even talk about Great Divine Transcendents and Saints, even Honjan Daizu, who was in continuous seclusion in Zixiao Palace, was alerted. He couldn’t help but wake up from his state of unity with the Tao and began to deduce the uniqueness of Jiang Chen.

When Honjan Daizu merges with Tao, he becomes a part of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, he is aware of the plans of the Heavenly Dao and knows why Jiang Chen is valued by it.

But this isn’t the reason for Jiang Chen’s outrageous performance. Isn’t it just being favored by the Heavenly Dao? It’s the same for everyone.

Honjan Daizu himself was once favored by the Heavenly Dao and was even appointed as the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao. Yet, he did not see his cultivation speed match Jiang Chen’s!

Both favored by the Heavenly Dao, why is Jiang Chen’s cultivation speed so many times faster?

If he, Honjan Daizu, had even one-thousandth, no, one ten-thousandth of Jiang Chen’s cultivation speed, he would have scattered Luo Hou’s ashes long ago. Why would there be any need to painstakingly scheme against him!

"Pangu Great God!"

When the Taoist Ancestor takes action, it’s extraordinary, and not even Saints could see through the mist behind Jiang Chen. But the Taoist Master saw part of the truth.

He saw, behind Jiang Chen, there was a profound fog, and within the deepness of that fog, there were a pair of colossal eyes.

Indescribable was the grandeur of those eyes; the moment the Taoist Ancestor saw them, his mind went blank. It took a long time before he finally regained his senses.

Then, the Taoist Master fell back into the state of merging with the Tao.

Behind Jiang Chen was the Pangu Great God, which was the main reason for his exceptional performance. The Taoist Ancestor saw this, but he couldn’t share it with others and had to act as if nothing had happened.

...

...

"Has the Divine City been built already? Their speed is still commendable."

Returning to the Divine Court, Jiang Chen released his Divine Thought and everything that had happened during his absence appeared in his mind.

He was only gone for about half a month, and the situation hadn’t changed much. Everything was as usual. The only change was that before he left, he had ordered his subordinates to construct the Divine City, and now they were almost done.

Standing atop the Divine Court, Jiang Chen looked down and saw on the vast Nine States Continent, as if out of nowhere, numerous majestic Divine Cities had emerged.

There were many Divine Cities, a total of thirty-six thousand, scattered across the countries of the Nine States, built at the nodes of Spiritual Veins, with each city possessing the power comparable to that of Heaven Immortals.

It’s not to say that the potential of these Divine Cities is limited to this. It’s just that there was not enough time; in only half a month, to have constructed so many Divine Cities is already quite impressive.

The remaining, stronger Divine Cities would require a much longer time to be constructed one by one.

However, just these Divine Cities are actually enough. After all, when designing the Divine City system, Jiang Chen considered the whole Chaos World, not just the realm of the Nine States.

That is to say, the Nine States alone has a limited capacity for Divine Cities; it’s impossible to accommodate them all.

But these Divine Cities right now are already enough. The revival of the Nine States has just begun, and the population hasn’t started to explode yet.

Moreover, even if the population of the Nine States does expand, it won’t last long. Perhaps after a thousand years, the pace of population growth will slow down.

The stronger the creatures, the harder it is to produce offspring; this is an iron law. So, when the era of universal cultivation arrives, there will be fewer and fewer newborns.

Whether it is the Ancient, the Remote Ancient, or the Ancient Times, in fact, the population of the Human Race has never been that high. It wasn’t until the more recent times that the bloodline of the Human Race further weakened and the numbers started to surge.

It is said that between the Witch and Demon Clans, if not considering the top experts, the Demon Clan is stronger than the Witch Clan. This is because of the sheer number of the Demon Clan which includes those that fly in the skies, run on the land, and swim in the waters; they are mostly considered part of the Demon Clan. One can imagine how numerous they are.

And as for the Witch Clan, their ability to reproduce is even less than that of the Dragon Clan, which is where they fall short in comparison to the Demon Clan.

To dominate Heaven and Earth, one must not only have strength but also a multitude of tribespeople. The Primordial three tribes might seem few in number, but in reality, these three tribes refer to not the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan, but the tribes of scaled, avian, and beastly creatures, whose numbers are anything but few.

The numerous populace of the Human Race is the foundation for its rise.

"After the Divine City is completed, the next step will be relocating the nearby populace, which is a major undertaking not to be accomplished in a short time."

"The most critical aspect is, to accomplish this task, it requires a vast number of organizers."

Jiang Chen has begun to think about the matters that follow—the Divine City, once built, will naturally be inhabited by people.

In the current Nine States, it seems calm, but in reality, it is the eve of a storm. Not only are foreign enemies coveting our lands greedily, but in the near future, there will also be peculiar celestial phenomena, leading to various harsh environments.

All of this is the price of bloodline reformation!

Defying the Heavenly Dao, how could there be no price to pay? Jiang Chen is constrained, and that is his price.

And for the Human Race to awaken the reformed bloodlines, they too must pay a price. Or rather, they need to pass the trials set by the Heavenly Dao.

The upcoming harsh environments and various natural disasters are the trials imposed on the Human Race by the Heavenly Dao. During these trials, a great number of the Human Race will awaken their bloodlines, turning towards the Innate Human Race.

Likewise, many will perish in these natural disasters.

Jiang Chen’s purpose in building the Divine City is to protect those mortals as much as possible.

Though natural disasters are strong, to the point that even some of lesser cultivators cannot withstand them, the Divine City possesses a power comparable to that of celestial beings, where ordinary disasters, not being massive calamities of Heaven and Earth, are not enough to shake the Divine City.

It is hard to say for the tribespeople outside, but at least those living within the Divine City will not encounter danger.

The Divine City is a sanctuary provided by Jiang Chen for the tribes, offering them another choice: whether to stay in the Divine City and live a stable life, or to leave the Divine City and face the trials of the Heavenly Dao, taking a gamble on their future.

Jiang Chen, guiding the revival of Spiritual Energy, disrupted the peaceful days of the people, so he built the Divine City to restore the life they lost.

Whether to step out of the Divine City and participate in the trials of the Heavenly Dao and awaken their bloodlines is now up to their own choices and has nothing to do with Jiang Chen.

After all, the survival rate in the trials of the Heavenly Dao has always been very low, but once one passes them, apart from other benefits, they would at least step into longevity, which is immensely advantageous.

"You all stay in the Divine City for now, taking responsibility for relocating the populace. After these matters are handled, it would not be too late to return."

Jiang Chen spoke, sending his orders to his subordinates through divine thought.

Since they have nothing much to do if they return to the Divine Court, it might as well be better for them to stay in the Divine City to handle the relocation of the populace. As for how they recruit helpers and persuade the people, it has nothing to do with Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen had to consider everything, then what would be the need for his subordinates? Jiang Chen is a Saint Emperor; issuing orders is all that he needs to do, the specifics of execution are for his servants to consider.

"The Divine City is divided into Yin and Yang parts, the Yang side managed by officials, dedicated to the affairs of the living. The Yin side is managed by the city god, dedicated to the affairs of spirits and deities."

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Chen thought silently. Once the Divine City is built and the city god is in place, the Divine Court will truly begin to operate.

The division of Yin and Yang, no interference with each other!

"Having been tumultuous for so long, the Nine States should enter a period of stability, after the matters of the Divine City are settled, then it won’t be late to proceed with the next plan."

Relocating the populace is no small affair; it’s a huge project not to be thoroughly completed in just a few years. Conveniently, using this time to halt the pace temporarily to solidify the foundation.

Meanwhile, it would be good for Jiang Chen to settle down properly, to organize his cultivation in readiness for his breakthrough to become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.
