Chapter 800: 626 Undertaking the Law of the Purple Imperial Heavenly Mandate

"The Nanji Star?"

"The Boundless Starry Sky shattered to this point, leaving only five Supreme Stars, their Original Source isn’t as abundant as in the past, and now it can still nurture treasures?"

Upper Qing Saints appeared somewhat surprised, feeling that under the current state of the Nanji Star, it should be impossible to nurture any treasures. However, right after he finished speaking, he saw the Sun Gouchen Map in Jiang Chen’s hands.

"This is..."

"A top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

"No, that’s not right, this aura, it’s a fragment of an Innate Treasure!"

The eyes of Upper Qing Saints were shining, mysterious energies circulating within them as he stared intently at the Sun Gouchen Map, as if trying to see through it.

"So it’s this!"

"No wonder we searched for so long and still couldn’t find any trace of it, it turns out it had already shattered."

After a moment of silence, Upper Qing Saints withdrew his gaze and spoke as if he had suddenly come to a realization, as if he had already comprehended the origin of the Sun Gouchen Map.

"Back then, after the great war between the witches and the demons, when we six Saints were rebuilding the Boundless Starry Sky, we all sensed something in our hearts, amidst the vast and boundless stars, it seemed like a top-tier Innate Treasure was being nurtured."

"Upon sensing this situation at that time, all six of us were very excited, each using our methods to search in the infinite starry sky, but what followed was that even when the six Saints joined hands, we still couldn’t find the trace of this top-tier Innate Treasure."

"In the end, the six of us concluded that this Innate Treasure had not yet matured and wasn’t ready to appear in the world. Therefore, we each left, preparing to compete using our methods when the treasure emerged."

"But unsuspectedly, this wait lasted for countless years."

"Now that I’ve seen the Innate Spiritual Treasure in your hands, I realize that the top-tier Innate Treasure will never come into existence. It didn’t fail to mature, but rather perished directly."

Upper Qing Saints’s expression was filled with emotion, for an Innate Treasure like this, even Saints would be moved, let alone one that’s top-tier. How excited the six Saints were upon hearing this news back then could only be imagined.

However, in the end, their joy was hollow. The Boundless Starry Sky was destroyed, and the conditions to nurture the Cycle Star Map were gone, so how could this top-tier Innate Treasure be born?

"Your luck is quite good indeed, the Cycle Star Map might have shattered, but the five remaining star maps from the stars, when combined, still form an Innate Treasure—the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map. Although it’s not as great as the Cycle Star Map, it’s still quite good and can suppress Fate."

While the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map is impressive, it clearly does not hold as much importance in the heart of the Upper Qing Saints as the Cycle Star Map does.

"Yu Dou, I have noticed your luck is a bit too good, attracting various treasures to you like a gathering storm, this is not a good thing. Be aware, the Heavenly Dao is fair. The more you gain now, the more you will have to repay later."

"It is foreseeable that your future will not be smooth, and it will surely be accompanied by terrifying Tribulation Number."

Upper Qing Saints gradually realized something was amiss; Jiang Chen’s luck was too good, all sorts of top-tier treasures, which others might not even see in a lifetime of hard searching, were easily obtained by him.

There is no such thing as unmerited love in the world, and the Heavenly Dao has been so generous to Jiang Chen for a reason—it fears it will borrow his hand to achieve some purpose, and this is Jiang Chen’s Tribulation Number.

The more the Heavenly Dao gives to Jiang Chen, the more dangerous the tasks it expects of him, hence, his future Tribulations Number will be greater.

"Master, how could I possibly refuse the gifts of the Heavenly Dao? If the Heavenly Dao holds me in high regard, that is my good fortune. Apart from graciously accepting its gifts, what else can I do?"

After hearing the words of the Upper Qing Saints, a bitter smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. He certainly knew there was no such thing as a free lunch—the Heavenly Dao gave him so many "benefits" because it clearly had a great use for him.

These benefits, Jiang Chen would like to refuse; however, can the gifts of the Heavenly Dao be so easily rejected?

As the saying goes, to not accept what is given by heavens is to invite misfortune.

If heaven graces you with gifts, it is because it values you. If you refuse, you are ungrateful, and don’t blame heaven for punishing you. So, knowing full well that a fiery pit lies ahead, Jiang Chen still has no choice but to resolutely jump in.

But at this point, Jiang Chen also had a rough guess about what the Heavenly Dao wanted him to do, nothing more than reconstructing the Prehistoric World.

The Prehistoric World had been shattered for too long, with its Original Source growing ever thinner, gradually unable to resist the erosion of the Chaos from beyond. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao entertained the notion of reconstructing the Prehistoric World, and Jiang Chen, who had naturally become the prime target of the Heavenly Dao after reconstructing Mount Buzhou.

To reconstruct the Prehistoric World, this was the most grandiose act throughout ancient and modern times, surpassing even Hou Tu’s transformation of Reincarnation, and second only to Pangu Great God’s act of pioneering sky and earth. If Jiang Chen could accomplish this, then no matter how many benefits the Heavenly Dao gave him, it would not be too much.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao was not stingy towards Jiang Chen; as long as it was useful to him, no matter the opportunity or Magic Treasures, they were sent his way. The purpose was to make him grow as quickly as possible.

The Heavenly Dao isn’t afraid of investment failure because the treasures given to Jiang Chen can always be taken back if he falls.

If Jiang Chen succeeds, then compared to the rewards obtained, the benefits given by the Heavenly Dao are just a trifling early investment and naturally need not be concerned.

As long as Jiang Chen still exists between Heaven and Earth, the Heavenly Dao will never lose out because no matter how the treasures change hands, they remain under its control.
