Chapter 606: Four Eight Eight: The Divine Race’s Little Plan

After hearing about the plunder of the human race, Jiang Chen didn’t want to hear any more. Just this one incident was enough to send the entire Divine Race to hell.

"I understand everything you have said. I will go to the Divine Race to verify this. If it’s true, the Divine Race will pay the price."

After assuring everyone, Jiang Chen had them rest while he quietly headed to the Divine Race with two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers.

Jiang Chen was no longer the same as before.

As the Emperor Lord of Heaven Court, he had considerable autonomy. Not only could he command a million Heavenly Soldiers, he could also independently Invest the Gods, without needing the Jade Emperor’s opinion.

Recruiting a million Heavenly Soldiers was not a simple task.

However, after the relentless efforts of those under Jiang Chen, the scale of the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers had expanded significantly over the years. Although they hadn’t reached one million yet, they had achieved a scale of five to six hundred thousand.

This time, for the expedition against the Divine Race, Jiang Chen took two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers with him.

The purpose of taking them was firstly, not to let them fight the Divine Race, but to surround the Divine Race, preventing any escapes. Secondly, it was to deter other powers from taking advantage of the situation.

With two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers encircling, which power dared to step forward? Whoever dared to, would be wiped out.

...

...

In silence, Jiang Chen quickly arrived at the base of the Divine Race.

Dongsheng Divine Continent, Thunder Valley, was the main base of the Divine Race. The Thunder Valley, named so because of the Innate Thunder that never extinguished within it, was rich in Thunder Dao and was a renowned treasure land of the Three Realms.

The Divine Race had managed to occupy this land, thanks to the rising momentum of the human race. Otherwise, how could such a treasure land fall into the hands of the Divine Race?

"Set up the array, surround Thunder Valley."

Without giving the Divine Race time to react, Jiang Chen commanded and the two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers turned into falling light, encircling Thunder Valley.

At the same time, countless array patterns appeared under the feet of the Heavenly Soldiers, gradually connecting into a mysterious array map, covering Thunder Valley.

The Deceiving Heaven Array, the name of the array used by the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers. This array was not strong in attack but could shield against Heavenly secrets and isolate sensing from the outside world.

Once this array was set up, unless a Quasi-Saint took action, no one could determine the current situation of the Divine Race.

Furthermore, the moment the array was formed, the outside world lost its sense of the Divine Race.

Looking from the outside, Thunder Valley remained the same, with no changes. But in reality, Thunder Valley was fully surrounded by the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers, not even a fly could escape.

"Who is it?"

"Who dares to intrude in our Divine Race?"

After the fall of the Divine Lord, the Divine Race immediately went into high alert, constantly monitoring external changes.

Therefore, as soon as the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers appeared, the elites of the Divine Race detected anomalies, immediately releasing millions of thunders towards the Deceiving Heaven Array.

"You’re aimlessly struggling, overestimating your abilities!"

With a contemptuous laugh, Jiang Chen used the power of the Ancestor of Thunder to neutralize the Innate Thunder released by the elite of the Divine Race.

Humming...

An invisible force radiated from Jiang Chen’s forehead, instantly suppressing all the thunder in Thunder Valley, reducing its power to less than half of the original.

"What is this..."

"The Ancestor of Thunder’s authority?"

"It’s you, Jiang Chen, is the Human Race intending to act against us, the Divine Race?"

In the heart of the Divine Race, a Half-step Dao Monarch spoke out, revealing Jiang Chen’s origins.

After being identified, Jiang Chen no longer hid himself. He stepped out from the void and called out to the Divine Race:

"Divine Race, your antics of secretly plundering the human cultivators have been exposed. Now, in accordance with public sentiment, I’m here to apprehend you all, and restore the dignity of our Human Race."

Initially, the Divine Race was terrified upon learning that Jiang Chen had come to attack them, thinking that the Human Race no longer tolerated them and wanted to act against them.

But to their surprise, the only one who came out of the void was Jiang Chen, with no sign of other strong humans. Just like that, the hearts of the Divine Race that were ready to jump out due to fear jumped back into their stomachs, filled with relief.

So, it was just Jiang Chen, not the Human Race’s idea to attack them. With just Jiang Chen, what did the Divine Race have to fear?

Boom...

Assured that no other human experts had come along with Jiang Chen, three strong auras and eleven everlasting lights suddenly emerged from the heart of the Divine Race.

"Three Half-step Dao Monarchs, eleven Innate Dao Monarchs." Seeing this, Jiang Chen’s pupils slightly contracted. The strength of the Divine Race was a bit stronger than he had expected.

However, this does not matter, it just means there is another Innate Dao Monarch, not an Innate Dao Sovereign. The problem is not big, it’s still within Jiang Chen’s control.

"Jiang Chen, you have such audacity to dare attack the Divine Race alone. Do you really think that with the fall of our ancestor, the Divine Race is like a tiger without claws, free for anyone to slaughter?"

Divine Lord Xin Yi, the oldest and most powerful Divine Lord in the Divine Race, stepped forward and shouted at Jiang Chen.

In his words, he completely disregarded Jiang Chen as well as his two hundred thousand Demon Suppression soldiers.

With a dismissive smirk, Jiang Chen responded derisively: "Isn’t it the truth?"

Upon hearing this, Divine Lord Xin Yi was furious. If it weren’t for the others holding him back, he would’ve charged forward to battle Jiang Chen to the death.

"You..."

After a moment, Divine Lord Xin Yi managed to suppress his anger and said coldly to Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, if you leave now, I will consider you young and ignorant, and will not hold it against you. But if you persist in your folly, don’t blame the Divine Race for being heartless."

Even though the Divine Race was angry at Jiang Chen for attacking, given their current situation, they dared not act against Jiang Chen. If they truly angered the Jiang Family, the Divine Race might not exist anymore.

Faced with Divine Lord Xin Yi’s threats, Jiang Chen calmly replied: "The Divine Race has violated the prohibitions of the Human Race. If it’s not exterminated, where is the might of the Human Race?"

"If you want me to leave, it’s simple. Just commit suicide to give an explanation to me and to the Human Race cultivators you’ve plundered. Then I’ll leave without hesitation."

There was no point in talking any further.

Asking the Divine Race to commit suicide was absolutely impossible.

Divine Lord Xin Yi shouted angrily: "Fine, since you seek death, I shall grant it. I will suppress and bring you to the Ancestral Land of the Human Race, and see what you have to say."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen almost laughed. Divine Lord Xin Yi was all bark and no bite. Threatening him with harsh words, but in his heart, he dared not kill him.

The Divine Race was probably in deep trouble. Otherwise, Divine Lord Xin Yi’s words would not just be about suppressing and taking Jiang Chen to the Ancestral Land of the Human Race, but directly speaking of killing him.

Jiang Chen sighed and said: "For your information, out of greed for the power of the Ancestor of Thunder within me, the Divine Sovereign deliberately ventured beyond the Heavens into the Chaos Tribulation to kill me. Unfortunately for him, he was unlucky enough to run into a predecessor of the Human Race."

"After a struggle, you’ve seen the result."

"Under such circumstances, if you want to capture me and bring me to the Ancestral Land of the Human Race, wouldn’t that be walking into a trap? Would the experts of the Jiang Family at the Ancestral Land let you off?"

After hearing Jiang Chen, the people of the Divine Race finally understood how the Divine Sovereign had fallen, which was indeed a huge disaster.

However, despite knowing the truth, they absolutely could not admit to it.

If they did, the troubles would become immensely bigger.

Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, a group of Divine Monarchs interrupted hastily: "Stop talking nonsense! Our ancestor perished due to failure in attempting to reach the Quasi-Saint realm, not due to any relation with the Human Race."

"Jiang Chen, even if you are making excuses, at least make one that is believable, why the need for such groundless reasons."

Looking at the reactions of these Divine Monarchs, as if they were greatly aggrieved, those who didn’t know might even think that they were telling the truth.

Next, without giving Jiang Chen a chance to speak, the Divine Monarchs of the Divine Race advanced together, intending to use the tactic of overwhelming numbers to quickly suppress Jiang Chen.

Once Jiang Chen was captured, the Divine Race could negotiate terms with the Human Race, hoping that the Human Race will spare the Divine Race. They could even use this opportunity to rejoin the Human Race.

The Divine Race weren’t fools. They knew that after the fall of the Divine Sovereign, the Divine Race had lost its biggest support and attracted the scrutiny of countless forces. At this moment, to protect the interests of the Divine Race, rejoining the Human Race was the best choice.

However, the Divine Race could not find a chance to returm. But now, Jiang Chen’s arrival gave them a glimmer of hope.

If they could capture Jiang Chen and use his life as a threat to force him to help the Divine Race rejoin the Human Race, wouldn’t that solve the problem?

It was quite a ridiculous plan.

But in desperation, they wouldn’t let go of any straw to cling onto for survival, even if it’s the most ridiculous plan. As long as they saw a probability of success, they would be willing to try.

Although unaware of the plot of the Divine Race, Jiang Chen could feel intense malice from them, which obviously meant no good.

"Stubbornly refusing to see reason!"

With a disdainful snort, Jiang Chen opened his mouth, producing a tremendous voice:

"When I become a Saint, all worlds, all beings, will enter the Heavenly Realm. Time flows like water, and those who pass away are gone forever!"

The moment his words fell, the whole world seemed to freeze, and those rushing towards Jiang Chen froze slightly, visibly slowing down in speed.

However, Jiang Chen did not stop, he continued to produce even louder sounds that shocked countless spaces: "When I become a Saint, all heretics will be excluded from the world. All beings will not be eroded by the heretics..."

"When I become a Saint, all beings in hundreds of millions of worlds and realms, as numerous as the dust, who utter my name will gain freedom, with no limit or boundaries!"

"When I become a Saint, all evil will eventually be destroyed..."

"When I become a Saint, all karmic hindrances will ultimately be freed..."

One by one, the grand vows of Hongmeng came out of Jiang Chen’s mouth, majestic and boundless, resonating with the willpower of all beings, suppressing everything.

Dao Monarchs were still okay, they could barely resist, but those under Dao Monarch within the Divine Race quickly succumbed to the grand vows of Hongmeng, gradually losing their selves.
