Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 894 - 682 everyone is like a dragon, 72 Taoist Masters enter the Beijulu Continent_2

"Some are born geniuses, favored by Heaven and Earth, easily acquiring everything they desire. Others are born mediocre, living their lives in humility. All of this is determined by fate."

"It is the Heavenly Dao that has always ascribed levels of superiority and inferiority, grades among people, not the people themselves. How can true equality be achieved?"

Jiang Chen’s earlier words won the approval of the crowd, but the latter idea of equality met with opposition, as it was met with skepticism. Born with inherent disparities, noble and humble, how can there be equality?

"Does that which is determined by heavenly intent become unchangeable? Without trying, how can one know whether it can be achieved or not? The venerable seniors should be aware that ’Man will conquer Heaven!’"

"I wish for all beings, each and everyone, to become like dragons!"

"If so, then all beings may indeed be equal!"

Jiang Chen spoke out his true grand ambition, wishing for all beings to become like dragons! This was the goal he strove to achieve after becoming the Human Emperor.

"Man will conquer Heaven! Everyone a dragon!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd showed a look of shock. They became aware of Jiang Chen’s aspiration as the Human Emperor.

Man will conquer Heaven is his belief, signifying that he will surely triumph over the Heavenly Dao, defy heaven to succeed, and become the ninth Human Emperor of the Human Race.

Everyone a dragon is his grand ambition, meaning that after he becomes the Human Emperor, he will go out of his way to ensure every member of his race becomes talented, a dragon among humans.

"Your Majesty’s grand ambition is admirable. We are willing to lend you our strength, to witness the era where everyone becomes like dragons."

Such a time when everyone is as dragons is an era to be longed for. Merely hearing these four words brought a heartfelt shock to the onlookers, leaving them speechless for a long time.

As strong members of the Human Race, everyone dreams of such an era. Thus, even though they knew that an era where everyone was like dragons was seemingly unattainable, as illusory as flowers in a mirror or the moon’s reflection on water, they still resolutely joined Jiang Chen’s cause, choosing to assist him.

The temptation to create an era where everyone is like dragons was too great. They were willing to put in the effort for it, even if they knew it might not succeed. They still refused to give up.

What if they succeeded?

As long as they had tried, even if they failed, they would not regret it. But if they had not even tried, they would undoubtedly regret it later on.

"What a vision of everyone like dragons!"

"Even the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns couldn’t achieve this. Jiang Chen, with this kind of heart, you’re already worthy of becoming the Human Emperor, deserving our support."

Suddenly, a round of applause resounded, and in the depths of the void, thirty-three figures like gods and demons emerged, appearing before Jiang Chen and the others.

These thirty-three Innate Dao Sovereigns, along with the previous three, making a total of thirty-six, were now all touched by Jiang Chen’s grand ambition of everyone becoming like dragons, deciding to enter the world and assist Jiang Chen in becoming the Human Emperor.

They realized that Jiang Chen was entirely different from great figures like Yu the Great and the First Emperor. His heart was greater, which was where he surpassed the two.

Although Yu the Great and the First Emperor had the resolve of ’Man will conquer Heaven,’ they lacked the grand ambition of ’Everyone a dragon.’ They thought only of restoring the Human Race’s glory, whereas Jiang Chen had a step ahead, leading the Human Race to create a new splendor.

If the era of everyone like dragons could be achieved, the Human Race would enter the most splendid era, not just surpassing the Witch and Demon clans but even surpassing them was not impossible.

The greater the ambition, the greater the drive. The others were inspired by Jiang Chen’s grand vision, and they inexplicably felt that he might surpass Yu the Great and the First Emperor to achieve that incredible success, defy heaven to accomplish the Dao and secure his position as the Human Emperor.

"Good! With the help of the venerable seniors, why worry about not accomplishing great deeds?"

With the addition of thirty-six Innate Dao Sovereigns, Jiang Chen’s spirits soared even higher. Now, with seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns under his command, his strength was enough to overpower all challenges. Becoming the Human Emperor seemed a certainty.

The only pity was that these experts from Ancient Times were mostly advocates of war and under the constraints of the Mystic Sect, they rarely took action lightly.

In other words, Jiang Chen might have many powerful followers, yet after fighting the Demon Clan, few could actually help him in his battles.

Unless the Human Race faced a crisis, these war-focused experts were not permitted to take action. This was the price paid by the refinery of the Earth Emperor.

However, although these experts could not help Jiang Chen conquer the world, they were more than enough to deal with the Demon Clan. If they were not enough, now that would be a real problem.

Seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns joined forces, yet they could not bring down a Demon Clan that has already declined. The depths to which this clan has concealed itself must truly be profound. Now, it should be the turn of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Human Race to take action, and eradicate the Demon Clan.

"Emperor Lord, don’t celebrate too early. The trials you face in becoming the Human Emperor are greater than you imagine. After the Flame Emperor, the Jiang Family suffered a backlash from Sha Qi, putting an end to the path to becoming the Human Emperor."

"Take the Chief of the Army, Chiyou, whose talents are startling and overshadow even those of the Flame Emperor in his youth. Yet, when contending for the title of Human Emperor, he was defeated by Emperor Xuanyuan."

"Take the Emperor’s Son, Jiang Hao, whose aptitude is recognized by all and stands above the Five Emperors, yet he lost to Emperor Shaohao when vying for the title among the Five Emperors."

"The Emperor’s Daughter, Nuwa, the direct disciple of Empress Nuwa who transcended life and death with unfathomable cultivation, aspired to be the first Empress of our Human Race, but was inexplicably defeated by Emperor Zhuan Xu."

"Jiang Yi, the reincarnation of the Great Ancient Da Yi, was defeated by Emperor Di Ku."

"Chengtian Daoist Master Jiang Xuan, born to carry out the Heavenly Will, upon whom the Jiang Family pinned their great hopes, nonetheless met his match in Da Yu."

"The progenitor of the School of War, Jiang Ziya, innovated his own method of war, with talent that astounded the ages. Even Saints were alarmed, and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign himself descended to take him as a disciple. Yet, such a formidable figure met with an inexplicable demise."

"The Jiang Family has had no shortage of outstanding individuals through the generations, surpassing the Five Emperors and rivalling the Three Sovereigns; yet not one has become the Human Emperor. This is the result of the Sha Qi backlash."

"The Earth Emperor had sacrificed too much to sort out the Earth Vein, so much so that even after ascending to the Tiandi, he couldn’t heal his old wound, which even burdened his clan members."

A Daoist Master from the era of the Earth Emperor spoke up, revealing a secret to Jiang Chen—while all Five Emperors were from the Ji Family and not the Jiang Family, it wasn’t for lack of capability, but as a result of the Sha Qi backlash suffered by the Flame Emperor.

"Senior, you worry too much. The Ancient Heaven and Earth have already shattered, and even if the backlash of Sha Qi was once strong, it has dissipated with the breakage of the Ancient Heaven and Earth."

"Moreover, do you think there is anyone in the Human Race today who can contest with me for this position of Human Emperor?"

"My enemy has always been the Heavenly Dao, not my fellow clansmen."

Jiang Chen may have heard this say for the first time, but he didn’t take it to heart—since the Ancient Heaven and Earth had broken, the backlash of Sha Qi naturally ceased to exist as well.

Moreover, even if the backlash of Sha Qi did exist, it didn’t matter. Among the entire Human Race, no one was his match. In the vast Human Race, aside from Jiang Chen, who else dared to compete for the title of Human Emperor?

"That is true, the times have changed!"

The aged predecessor showed a hint of wistfulness and fell silent.

"Elders, we have talked long enough. It’s time to visit Beijulu Continent. Ever since my arrival, they have been overly calm, likely brewing some conspiracy. Let us witness the strategies of the Demon Clan."

Jiang Chen smiled, walking at the forefront, leading the seventy-two Innate Dao Sovereigns towards Beijulu Continent.

Boom!

As everyone stepped forward, no longer concealing their aura, their god-like presence surged forth. Supreme Daoist might permeated the air, causing the void to tremble and the laws of Heaven and Earth to lament.

Including him, a total of seventy-three Innate Dao Sovereigns released their auras at once. The resulting sensation was imaginable, it seemed as if time itself had paused, frozen in place, and the operations of Heaven and Earth had stopped.

"Hmph!"

"The Human Race, how excessively arrogant!"

Above the Beijulu Continent, ancient Demon Gods began to awaken, each radiating a powerful aura, contending with the strong individuals of the Human Race.

"The Demon Clan’s ten great Demon Gods, nine Great Cycle Demon Gods, and thirty-three regular Demon Gods—a total of fifty-two Demon Gods."

"Tsk tsk, the strength of the Demon Clan really is not to be underestimated. Even up to now, there are still fifty-two Innate Dao Sovereign level masters, and this isn’t even the full extent of the Demon Clan’s power."

"The Ancient Demon Clan indeed has a profound foundation."

Jiang Chen counted and was shocked by the number of Demon Gods in the Demon Clan. He hadn’t expected that after such a long decline, there were still so many Demon Gods on the Beijulu Continent.

"When the Beijulu Continent was first established, someone tallied the number of Demon Clan Demon Gods as fifty-two. Now, there are still fifty-two, with no change whatsoever."

A Human Race Daoist Master spoke up, conveying this information to Jiang Chen in a low voice.
