Chapter 883: 677 Powerful Jiang Family

Demon beasts weren’t strong, but within the void, those masterless willpowers were formidable. If Jiang Chen could subdue them all, he would, in a flash, be able to obtain power comparable to that of a Saint.

Unfortunately, to subdue all the masterless willpowers within the void was an even more arduous task than Jiang Chen’s cultivation to become a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. Therefore, this was merely a fanciful thought.

However, given the situation, any increase in Jiang Chen’s strength was valuable, far better than doing nothing at all.

After converting those tens of millions of demon beasts, Jiang Chen stayed in the green mountains, perceiving the nuances of the Great Wish Technique while waiting for the return of the Demon Suppression Heavenly Troops.

Time flew by, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, a solemn killing aura enveloped the skies, forming streams of blood-red miasma that surged towards the green mountains.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw at the edge of the void, a million Demon Suppression Heavenly Troops in battle formation, enshrouded with ferocious energy, rapidly approaching this location.

Simultaneously, above Dongsheng Divine Continent, the fate representing the lineage of the Demon Immortals collapsed thunderously, breaking into myriad points of light that converged towards Jiang Chen.

The shattering of fate was a sign of impending clan extinction.

Within just a few short months, the once-dominant Demon Immortal lineage on Dongsheng Divine Continent became history, annihilated by the Demon Suppression Heavenly Troops.

"This..."

"Such immense fate!"

"The fate amassed by the Demon Immortal lineage over countless years is many times stronger than the fate I possess."

As the fate of the Demon Immortals entered him, Jiang Chen’s body immediately burst into resplendent light, displaying six brilliant colors, emanating a profound aura.

This was the light of fate. The fate of five colors represented the fate of an Innate Dao Sovereign. The fate of six colors was that which a Quasi-Saint could possess. The fate of seven colors was something only Saints and Daluo Jinxians of the Primordial could have.

Previously, Jiang Chen had five colors of fate on him, representing the Innate Dao Sovereign. But now, after receiving the fate of the Demon Immortal lineage, his fate soared, transforming from five to six colors—signifying that of a Quasi-Saint.

The higher the fate, the better the fortune, and correspondingly, the fewer Tribulation Numbers he would face.

At this moment, as Jiang Chen’s fate rose from five colors to six, many Tribulations related to him began to disappear in the unseen world, no longer posing a threat to him. Moreover, adorned with six colors of fate, it also foretold that Jiang Chen was destined to become a Quasi-Saint.

Of course, fate isn’t all-powerful. Although Jiang Chen’s fate was formidable, if someone with even greater fate acted against him, then his own fate would be rendered ineffective.

The biggest disadvantage of fate lies exactly in this: it is only effective against those with lesser fate than oneself. If one encounters someone with greater fate, then they would be suppressed by it.

"Now that I aim to achieve the position of Human King, the higher the fate, the better for me. It makes it easier to earn the favor of the Human Race’s fate, resonate with it, and thereby, consolidate the position of the Human King."

Fate is akin to a value of goodwill. The higher the fate, the higher the goodwill, making it easier to win others’ favor and trust. Therefore, those with great fate are cherished by Heaven and Earth and receive help wherever they go.

For the same reason, those with great fate find it easier to obtain noble positions within Heaven and Earth. As Jiang Chen aspired to become the Human King, naturally, the higher his fate, the better.

"Let’s go, back to the Sun Temple!"

Stepping out of the green mountains, Jiang Chen arrived before the Demon Suppression army, waved his great sleeve, and led them back to the Sun Temple.

Upon witnessing this scene, the two venerable elders of the Jiang Clan and the three demons felt a premonition and knew that something must have occurred during their absence to make Jiang Chen change his mind.

Otherwise, at this moment, they should be returning to the Gouchen Divine Palace, not the Sun Temple. Although both were currently governed by Jiang Chen, they represented entirely different things.

In Gouchen Divine Palace, Jiang Chen was a guest.

In the Sun Temple, Jiang Chen was the master.

His choice to return to the Sun Temple instead of going back to Gouchen Divine Palace signified that he no longer intended to act in the name of an Emperor Lord but as the Sun God Emperor.

With this thought, the two venerable elders of the Jiang Clan surmised a major event had occurred and hurriedly followed Jiang Chen towards the Sun Temple.

As for the three demons, after weighing their options, they too followed to the Sun Temple.

They were now thoroughly bound to Jiang Chen’s battlefield; they shared in both glory and loss. If Jiang Chen was in trouble, even if they desired to remain uninvolved, it was impossible.

"Sound the bell, summon the generals!"

"Summon all powerful individuals above the rank of Taiyi Jinxian from my Jiang Clan to the Sun Temple for a meeting."

After returning to the Sun Temple, Jiang Chen wasted no words and promptly instructed those present.

"What, gather the clan’s masters?"

The Divine Officers of the Sun Temple were shocked upon hearing Jiang Chen’s command, not knowing what great matter had occurred to provoke Jiang Chen’s ire to summon all the clan’s masters.

"Yes, Emperor Lord, I follow your decree. I’ll sound the bell and summon the generals immediately!"

But they quickly grasped the gravity of the situation, understanding that something momentous must have happened to elicit such a response from Jiang Chen. Realizing the importance, the officer didn’t dare to inquire further but hurriedly accepted the command and began to walk outside.

Not far from the Sun Temple, a golden bell was suspended.

This bell, known as the Flame Emperor Bell, was created by the Flame Emperor in imitation of the supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sun God Bell, and was an acquired treasure. Its power wasn’t very strong, barely comparable to a middle-rank Innate Spiritual Treasure.
