Chapter 613: Four Nine Five, One Certificate Forever

Looking forward to the day when Nine Heavens completely swallows Thunder Marsh, Jiang Chen saw it as a day of culmination. On that day, all his efforts would bear fruit and descend upon him.

The act of mending the deficiencies of Heaven and Earth, and perfecting the Thunder Dao of the Prehistoric World, bestowed great merits equivalent to those of Empress Nuwa’s actions of patching up the sky.

Receiving such merit, Jiang Chen might not necessarily become a Saint, but becoming a Divine Transcendent was definitely not difficult for him. In a blink of an eye, he could condense twelve Merit Gold Wheels and cultivate the unbreakable Xuanhuang physique, one of the top ten physiques in the Prehistoric World.

But of course, these were all future possibilities, waiting for the day when Nine Heavens completely swallow Thunder Marsh, which could be many years in the future. Perhaps by the time that day truly arrives, Jiang Chen will no longer lack these merits, but one can never be certain.

After silently comprehending the changes in Nine Heavens, Jiang Chen turned his gaze towards the Divine Sovereign. At this moment, the state of the Divine Sovereign was incredibly poor. He had completely lost consciousness, and his Innate Undying True Spirit was dim, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

This behaviour indicated that the Divine Sovereign was dying. Yes, even after he had just resurrected, he was about to die again.

However, facing imminent death, there was no panic in the heart of the Divine Sovereign. There was only calmness, and even a hint of relief.

Indeed, for the current Divine Sovereign, death was an escape. Deprived of the original source of Daoist Venerable Xuantian, he had already lost more than half of his power.

Besides, the backlash of the Human Race’s Fate was about to arrive. If the Divine Sovereign remained alive, his life would be worse than death. Given such circumstances, he would prefer death over enduring such torture.

Alas, the Divine Sovereign’s thoughts were well intended, but would Jiang Chen let him escape?

For Jiang Chen, the Divine Sovereign was a rare treasure.

Even though the Prehistoric Thunder Treasure Tree had extracted the power of Daoist Venerable Xuantian from the Sovereign and no longer showed interest in him, Jiang Chen’s Divine Artifacts were all extremely interested in him.

If he could just devour the Divine Sovereign, the Divine Artifacts were likely to advance further, transforming from Dao Monarch level artifacts to Dao Sovereign level ones. Given that, how could these artifacts not interest a Dao Sovereign?

Gazing at the dying Divine Sovereign, Jiang Chen shook his head. He took no time to sympathize, and directly retrieved ten thousand Primordial Dao Pills, transforming them into a pure Primordial Qi that fused into the Divine Sovereign’s body.

In an instant, the Divine Sovereign’s original source began to expand rapidly like an inflating balloon. At the same time, his dim Innate Undying Radiance exploded with a dazzling brilliance.

After devouring ten thousand Primordial Dao Pills, the dying Divine Sovereign was completely revived. His Innate True Spirit shone brilliantly, slowly illuminating his Yuan Spirit.

The next moment, his Yuan Spirit’s power combined with his original source, gradually producing flesh and bones. In no time, the Divine Sovereign’s physical body was reconstituted.

At this moment, apart from feeling incredibly weak and void of energy, the Sovereign was no different from ordinary people.

He had truly come back to life.

However, there was no joy in the eyes of the fully resurrected Divine Sovereign, only boundless despair.

The Divine Sovereign was not a fool. He had guessed that Jiang Chen didn’t revive him out of goodwill. Surely, some unknown method was awaiting him.

Opening his mouth, the Divine Sovereign tried to say something. However, the power of Nine Heavens was too strong. It suppressed him firmly, preventing him from even speaking.

From the Divine Sovereign’s eyes, Jiang Chen understood his intentions, but he did not oblige him.

No kidding, the Divine Sovereign was a Dao Sovereign. It would be wise to be extra cautious while dealing with him. Who knows what kind of secret weapon he might have? What if, after the pressure on him was reduced, he took the opportunity to escape?

Then Jiang Chen would be a fool.

Therefore, regardless of the Divine Sovereign’s thoughts, Jiang Chen acted as if he could not see them, treating the Divine Sovereign as if he was already dead.

A Divine Sovereign suppressed by the Nine Heavens was a good Divine Sovereign. One who was not suppressed was indeed a deadly being.

"Very good!"

Looking at the immobile Divine Sovereign, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction. With a wave of his sleeve, he brought the Divine Sovereign into Nine Heavens.

Upon entering Nine Heavens again, Jiang Chen felt a distinct difference. Tremendous forces gathered from all directions, pouring into his body, causing his aura to rise steadily.

Boom!

The power within Jiang Chen seemed to have broken through some limit and ascended to a new level. An obscure and vast, yet extremely majestic, Innate Dao might suddenly emanated from him.

Innate Dao might, the exclusive sign of the Innate Dao Sovereign. At this moment, under the blessing of the original source of Nine Heavens, Jiang Chen possessed the power comparable to that of the Innate Dao Sovereign in advance.

However, this strength was external and didn’t belong to Jiang Chen himself, so controlling it was not as easy as manipulating his own mana.

But no matter how it came, this was power at the Dao Sovereign level. Having it, Jiang Chen could indeed contend with the Innate Dao Sovereign in terms of power.

"So this is the Innate Dao Sovereign? It’s incredibly powerful beyond belief. No wonder the Innate Dao Monarch can never defeat the Dao Sovereign, the gap is too vast."

Standing at the level of Dao Sovereign, the heaven and earth that Jiang Chen sees have completely changed.

Deep into the void, at a place unknown and far away, he notices the River of Destiny encompassing everything, carrying the destinities of all beings across heaven and earth.

Between heaven and earth, Jiang Chen sees a river running through everything, carrying all things, coming from the past, passing through the present, surging into the future.

This is the Time-Space River, the most mysterious river of the Honghuang, more mystical and enigmatic than the River of Destiny, recording everything that has happened since the birth of Honghuang.

The Time-Space River has to do with transcendence, achieving the realm of Daluo Jinxian of Primordial. Orphanically speaking, to become a Quasi-Saint, one must first touch the Time-Space River. The cultivation of a Quasi-Saint is linked to the Time-Space River.

Transcending the River of Destiny validates the title of Innate Dao Sovereign. And to improve further and cultivate to the level of Quasi-Saint, one must transcend the Time-Space River.

Severing the past, future, and present, and shrinking one’s own timeline entirely within oneself, one can attempt to transcend heaven and earth to achieve the level of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

Now, the top talents and strong men in Honghuang are stuck at this level, transcending the Time-Space River, but unable to sever the ties of causality and transcend heaven and earth.

"So this is the Time-Space River? It is indeed vast and mysterious. Even now, with my power comparable to the Innate Dao Sovereign, I still feel a sense of trepidation in its presence."

"It feels as if I fall into it, I will be immediately annihilated."

Looking at the Time-Space River, Jiang Chen’s forehead is throbbing. At any time, space-time is a terrifying force, anything related to it is full of danger.

Selectively, the Time-Space River of Honghuang is extremely dangerous. Even a saint entering it would face the danger of falling.

Yes, saints are said to be immortal, but it depends on who they are up against. Remember, at the source of the Time-Space River, a battle beyond imagination is still going on.

This is the battlefield where the Pangu Great God and the Chaos Demigod fought during the battle of opening chaos, they are still fighting there. Now, the War of The Beginning is over, but in the past, the war is still going on.

Anyone who dares to mess around in the Time-Space River, and is sensed by the Pangu Great God who is currently battling the Chaos Demon God, will likely be dragged into the midst of the War of The Beginning just by having a stray thought.

Whether it’s Pangu Great God or Chaos Demigods, they are supreme beings far beyond the Primordial Realm. Entering their battlefield headsuit will cause even saints to face danger and risks of downfall at any time.

Therefore, despite Innate Dao Sovereign’s ability to change the past and reverse causality, only a few people dare to use this power.

They are truly fearful. If noticed by Pangu Great God, he wouldn’t have to do much, just casting a gaze would presumably obliterate an Innate Dao Sovereign.

This strongest divine ability of the Innate Dao Sovereign has been wasted. Therefore, the Innate Dao Sovereign does not seem as powerful as the legends.

It is not that the Innate Dao Sovereign isn’t powerful, but is unable to use his greatest ability!

Even those Innate Dao Sovereigns who dare to use it, also doing so very carefully, for fear of alerting Pangu Great God. As for recklessly using the ability to change space-time, no one dares to try.

Every single person who has achieved the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign is no fool, how would they risk their life to bet that the Pangu Great God won’t care about them? If they win, it’s ok, if not, they’re done for.

If they were killed by the Pangu Great God, even the Immortal Innate Dao Sovereign would not be able to revive.

"So that’s how it is, that has resolved a question in my heart." Jiang Chen suddenly understands, resolving a long-standing question in his heart.

Long ago, he found it strange that since Dao Sovereigns have the ability to alter time and space, couldn’t the first person who became a Dao Sovereign easily prevent the others from doing so?

In the past, Jiang Chen thought the first person to become a Dao Sovereign must have been high minded, hence did not prevent others from achieving it too. But now he has come to understood that it wasn’t unwillingness but a real inability.

"Alas, the waters of Honghuang are really deep, filled with secrets everywhere." Jiang Chen shifts his gaze away from the Time-Space River and begins to perceive his own changes.

The power of the Innate Dao Sovereign, of course, lies not only in changing time and space, but also in oneself, possessing a unique trait in all realms.

In this world, there are countless parallel spaces, and in these spaces, there are countless versions of oneself.

The so-called uniqueness in all realms is that at the moment of becoming an Innate Dao Sovereign, all these versions of oneself are brought back, making oneself the only one.

This is the origin of the term "One Certification, Eternal Certification". After fusing all versions of oneself from all spaces, doesn’t that mean all versions of oneself have become Dao Sovereigns?

Thus, at the moment of becoming a Dao Sovereign, one’s past self, present self, and future self all become Dao Sovereigns at the same time.

This is, One Certification, Eternal Certification.
