Chapter 770: Potential Risks of the Divine Ability 611_2

Jiang Chen followed the path of Chaos, Emperor Xuanyuan walked the way of the Prehistoric World, both being completely different. Jiang Chen couldn’t apply Xuanyuan’s experience, instead it would confine him.

Therefore, Xuanyuan did not provide guidance for Jiang Chen, but instead, directed him to the Ruined Land, claiming it would aid him.

"Northern Ruined Land!" Repeating this name to himself, Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude to Emperor Xuanyuan, "I appreciate your guidance, your Majesty."

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperor spoke with a grave expression, "Jiang Chen, you are indeed in need of visiting the Ruined Land. Your Divine Ability is extremely powerful, ranking amongst the top three I’ve seen. Unfortunately, are you aware that your Divine Ability harbors a significant danger?"

"Danger?" Surprised by these words, Jiang Chen urgently asked, "Your Majesty, what danger? Why haven’t I sensed it?"

Jiang Chen was truly frightened. If the Heavenly Emperor said that his Divine Ability carried a danger, it must be true. However, he hadn’t noticed it, which was truly terrifying. Who knows? It may spontaneously erupt one day, rendering him in immense crisis.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Jiang Chen, lost in thought for some time, before finally saying, "You currently aren’t aware of it because your power surpasses your Divine Ability and can suppress it. That’s why you haven’t noticed anything unusual."

"But if a time comes where your power can no longer suppress this Divine Ability, it would be at risk of going out of control. At that point, it will consume you completely, from within to without. First your magic power, followed by your soul, true spirit, and physical body, it will draw all of these into it, until you are devoured and left as nothing."

"After devouring you, this Divine Ability will not disappear, but instead become increasingly potent. It will embed itself within heaven and earth, continuously devouring everything around, prospering itself until it consumes the entire world."

While speaking, the Heavenly Emperor’s tone grew increasingly solemn, he stared at Jiang Chen and said word by word, "Jiang Chen, the stronger your power, the more catastrophic the effect if your Divine Ability goes out of control. If this Divine Ability had lost control when you were a Taoist, its effect would still be within control.

"However, when you reach the realms of Primordial Chaos, if this Divine Ability goes haywire, it would be capable of annihilating the entire Three Realms."

The Heavenly Emperor’s eyes were alight with countless intertwining innate Divine Patterns, rapidly turning into a pair of ethereal innate Eight Diagrams, as if predicting something.

Shortly after, the Heavenly Emperor’s gaze became blurry, exalted and full of divine and saintly presence. His vision, at this moment, extended infinitely, seeming to see through the River of Time and Space, witnessing the consequences of Jiang Chen’s Divine Ability losing control.

At the same time, the scenes visible to the Heavenly Emperor appeared clearly in Jiang Chen’s mind.

In the Three Realms of an indistinct future, a huge black Chaos appeared quietly, rotating lazily, emitting a powerful suction force, drawing everything around it into its vortex. The mountains and rivers, the earth and everything coming from the stars and spiritual energy were engulfed, condensed, and turned into the most essential power.

Large numbers of practitioners appeared, trying to destroy this vortex of Chaos. Yet their attacks, including their Magic Treasures just barely approached the vortex before they were devoured by its suction force, turning into its energy.

Subsequently, even these practitioners were devoured by the Chaos.

The scene suddenly disappeared as Jiang Chen watched. He was frightened to the point of sweating profusely. His face was pale. The power of the Chaos was too horrifying. It hadn’t even occurred yet, but just witnessing it stole Jiang Chen’s senses, as if he was being devoured by it.

At that moment, Jiang Chen truly felt the breath of death, as though he had already died.

No, he was already dead. There was no trace of him in the projection given by the Heavenly Emperor. This implied that in this future, he was destined to die, devoured by the Chaos.

Is the Chaos out of control that terrifying?

Upon careful thought, Jiang Chen realized it was indeed the case. Chaos emerged from Chaos, but transcended Chaos; it was the ultimate point that devoured all things. It turned the simplest particles into an explosion and reformed a new Chaos.

This truly was the Divine ability that could turn everything into nothing and recreate from it. With the capacity to devour Chaos, let alone heaven and earth. Just as the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi said, if Chaos goes out of control, it indeed holds the power to destroy heaven and earth.

"Your Majesty, how do I counteract the power of Chaos?" At this moment, Jiang Chen didn’t feel the slightest bit of pride that he had initially upon opening up the pathway for the Chaos Divine Ability. Instead, he was filled with terror.

Because he suddenly realized that not only would the Chaos threaten his life, but it could also put him into a state where everyone in the Prehistoric World would be out for his blood.

In no uncertain terms, if he couldn’t resolve the issue with the Chaos, what awaited him was likely a siege by multiple Great Divine Transcendents. The Prehistoric World didn’t need an unstable element like him, particularly when he has enemies. He definitely shouldn’t stick around.

Some entities that wished ill will upon Jiang Chen would undoubtedly seize this opportunity to strike at him.

Even without these factors, having a Divine Ability that could take his life at any moment would make Jiang Chen restless and uneasy.

As for stopping the cultivation of this Chaos Divine Ability, it would be nice if things were that simple, but he had just realized that he couldn’t stop it at all.

Or rather, ever since the Chaos was born, it was beyond his control.

After the Chaos took shape, it continued to operate on its own, absorbing Jiang Chen’s Divine Ability and the surrounding power, constantly growing stronger.

Previously, Jiang Chen did not realize the severity of the problem, but at this moment, thanks to the reminder from Emperor Fuxi, he understood the gravity of the situation.

He couldn’t stop this Chaos Divine Ability. He could mobilize all its power, but he couldn’t make it stop. Wasn’t this a symbol of being on the verge of losing control over a Divine Ability?

Right now, Jiang Chen can still harness the power of the Chaos because his strength surpasses it. But if this situation were to change and his strength becomes inferior to the Chaos, then in the eyes of the Chaos, Jiang Chen would also become a source of power that could be devoured.

The Chaos isn’t so much Jiang Chen’s Divine Ability; it more so behaves like a parasite, using his power to grow stronger.

"This...."

Jiang Chen thought carefully and found that the only way to deal with the hidden danger of Chaos was to cause it to explode. He could still utilize the power of this Divine Ability now, and with no concern for consequences, could initiate its explosion.

However, it’s uncertain whether Jiang Chen would be able to withstand the power of the Chaos exploding, there’s a high probability that he might be severely injured.

With less than three hundred years left until the West Journey Crisis, could Jiang Chen afford to be injured now?

This method should definitely not be implemented unless absolutely necessary.

Now, Jiang Chen could only hope that the Emperor would come up with a solution. Since the Emperor could see the flaw in this Divine Ability, he must have a way to fix it.

Thinking about this, Jiang Chen looked full of expectation at the Emperor. And Fuxi did not let him down. After pondering for a while, he indeed came up with a solution.

"There is no problem with the concept of your Divine Ability, nor with its evolution. So, it is not the Divine Ability that is wrong, it’s you, Jiang Chen."

"When you created this Divine Ability, you made a big mistake. You shouldn’t be in the Divine Ability. You should step out of it, just like stepping out of heaven and earth. It seems to be inside the Divine Ability, but it is actually outside."

"In this way, your essence will always be higher than the Divine Ability. How could it go out of control and consume you?"

Who is Fuxi? In the Ancient Era, he was already an existence at the Half-step of Primordial Realm. Now that he has achieved enlightenment for a second time, his power is even greater than before, and he is mere inches away from the supreme Primordial Realm. His power is even stronger than the Jade Emperor’s.

His perception is undoubtedly top-notch in the Prehistoric World. Therefore, he saw through Jiang Chen’s problem in an instant. Being born within the Divine Ability, naturally, he would be restrained by it.

Just like a Great Divine Transcendent being within Heaven and Earth, they would be subject to the Heavenly Dao. But once they remove themselves from it, all problems can be solved.
