Chapter 535: Four Five Nine Sacred Man Calculation_3

As for how Chaos knew about this news, it’s a fairly simple story. When Jiang Chen went to the Five Elements Secret Realm, he had already allowed Chaos to secretly spread the news, using Creation Elixir pills to collect the bodies of the Divine Race.

At first, the effect was minimal.

But suddenly one day, a large group of people came to Chaos with the bodies of the Divine Race, seeking to exchange them for Creation Elixir pills.

At that moment, Chaos realized that something was wrong. After inquiring from various sources, Chaos finally learned of the news of the god’s fall.

"Damn it, I was still thinking that once I had gathered ten million Primordial Chaos Law pills, I would directly activate the Taichu Divine Sword and give the Divine Sovereign a fierce strike, to split him alive and nourish the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree."

"But who would have thought, before I could gather all the Primordial Chaos Pills, the Divine Sovereign had already died. His death is nothing to fuss about, but it’s a pity that without him, my Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree will need even more time to fully mature."

Alas, Jiang Chen is now quite helpless.

Ever since he discovered that Primordial Chaos Law pills could stimulate the Innate Spiritual Treasures, he had been thinking that once he had accumulated enough of them, he would use them to activate the Taichu Divine Sword to kill the Divine Sovereign, and use him as nourishment for the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree.

In this way, he would not have to wait until he became the Innate Dao Sovereign before making his move, and he would be able to catch the Divine Sovereign off guard.

What a pity, Jiang Chen’s thinking was quite perfect, but the reality was completely beyond his expectations. He hadn’t yet gathered enough of the Primordial Chaos pills, but the Divine Sovereign had already been killed by others.

What a waste.

However, even though the Divine Sovereign is dead, the Divine Tribe still exists.

Each member of the Divine Tribe has far less power than the Divine Sovereign, but they make up in numbers. If all of the Divine Tribe were devoured, a quantitative change could trigger a qualitative one, potentially rivaling the Divine Sovereign and allowing the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree to grow to a terrifying degree.

And besides, without the protection of the Divine Sovereign, the Divine Tribe is like a tiger without teeth, making it easier to deal with, right?

Jiang Chen felt that he alone could easily slaughter the entire Divine Tribe.

If the Divine Sovereign were still alive, he would never dare entertain such a thought. But since the Divine Sovereign is already dead, the sins he had committed previously will now have to be borne by his descendants in the Divine Tribe.

The Prehistoric World does not adhere to the rule of ’family members are not affected by calamity’; in this cruel world of cultivation, the prevailing attitude is to cut the grass and eliminate the roots, eradicate all evil, and let the son pay for the father’s debts...

The Heavenly Dao is fair and just; what one gains, one must bear the responsibility for. This is a fundamental principle and also the law of cause and effect.

As descendants of the Divine Sovereign, having reaped certain benefits, the Divine Tribe is destined to shoulder his karma.

Unless, the Divine Tribe has not benefitted from the reputation of the Divine Sovereign.

But is that possible?

Jiang Chen calmed his mind and silently calculated the fortunes of the Divine Tribe. As expected, a sense of declining glory was perceived.

This is a sign of impending extermination of a clan.

The Divine Tribe has existed in the Prehistoric World for so many years. The people they have offended are not limited to Jiang Chen alone, but many other powers as well. Previously, when the Divine Sovereign was alive, these powers dared not act against the Divine Tribe.

But now, with the Divine Sovereign dead, with their inhibitions gone, what would they wait for? They would naturally rush to divide the ’meat’ that is the Divine Tribe.

Without the Divine Sovereign, isn’t the Divine Race just a piece of tempting fat meat? Anyone who sees it would want to take a bite.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen was about to set off for the Divine Tribe, hoping to exterminate them before the other powers could act.

But immediately, Jiang Chen halted his steps and quietly abandoned the thought of destroying the Divine Tribe. He suddenly remembered that he, as a member of the Human Race, could not attack the Divine Tribe yet.

Because he belongs to the Human Race, anyone can act against the Divine Tribe, except for the Human Race.

If the Human Race were to act, it would cause other foreign powers to sympathize and come to the aid of the Divine Tribe, banding together to resist the Human Race.

If Jiang Chen were the Emperor of Humanity, he wouldn’t care about all this. If he wanted to exterminate the Divine Tribe, he would do so, and if any other foreign powers dared to assist, he would kill them along with the Tribe.

These foreign powers are traitors to the Human Race. The fact that he hasn’t acted against them on normal days is already a grace they should be grateful for.

If they do not appreciate this, and choose to stand against the Human Race, then Jiang Chen wouldn’t mind getting rid of them along the way, cleaning out a group of traitors.

Yes, if Jiang Chen were the Emperor of Humanity, that’s definitely what he would do.

Unfortunately, he’s not. The vast Human Race is not yet his to command, and he still has to abide by the moderation of the higher-ups in the Human Race.

Jiang Chen can already imagine that if he dares to strike against the Divine Tribe, there will certainly be a large group of powerful figures from the Human Race running to him, saying things such as advising him to stop, to consider the bigger picture, to take into account the overall situation, and so on.

"Tsk, tsk..."

"What a hassle!"

Just thinking about such a scene, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a headache. He would be annoyed to death. But the Divine Tribe is too important to him, and wanting him to give up attacking them is impossible.

After calming down, Jiang Chen carefully thought and suddenly had an idea.

Isn’t it all about the bigger picture? He would override it with the voice of the people, exterminating the Divine Race in accordance with the will of the people. Even the higher-ups of the Human Race wouldn’t be able to argue with that.

Some of the Human Race have been oppressed by the Divine Race for many years. How could they not hate it deep in their hearts?

Jiang Chen could definitely use this, stir up their emotions, let them come to Cang Mountain, collectively plead for him to exterminate the Divine Race.

In this way, he would be able to make a move against the Divine Race in response to the voice of the people, and at the same time, he would be able to silence all opposition.

Actually, it doesn’t matter on what basis you make a move. What’s important is that you must have a reason, a valid, explainable reason.

Only in this way can one seize the initiative; this is called holding the moral high ground, or more simply, legitimizing the action.

With moral support, the actions taken are in accord with the righteous path. Now, who would dare to oppose?

Whoever opposes is opposing the righteous path, is the evil party, and is the target to be eliminated.
