Chapter 929: Chapter 698: The Calculations of the Great Divine Transcendents (10,000 words) _3

Jiang Chen’s attack on the Demon Clan was an unstoppable trend, and they were powerless to resist. But now, as Jiang Chen sought to lead the Nanbuzhan Continent to stabilize his Human King foundation, these people would certainly not stand by idly.

The masters of the Law Hall and others would not sit idly by as Jiang Chen became the Human King, because if that were to happen, not only would it render their countless years of effort fruitless, but they might also face Jiang Chen’s retribution.

Even if it were for self-preservation, they would fight to the death to prevent Jiang Chen from becoming the Human King.

...

...

Shua~~

The Dao Fruit of the Human King wandered in the River of Destiny for a long time before it finally fell from above and landed on Jiang Chen’s forehead.

Boom!

In that instant, Jiang Chen’s realm suddenly skyrocketed, ascending from the mid-level of Great Luo to the advanced stage and then continuing to rise, thunderously stepping into the level of Quasi-Saint.

This was the benefit of becoming the Human King. Even mortals, upon becoming the Human King, could rapidly grow stronger under the augmentation of the Human Race’s fate, gaining strength comparable to a Quasi-Saint.

Similarly, this was also a benefit brought by powerful fate. Once fate reached a certain degree of strength, it could condense various mystical Dao Fruits, causing cultivators to undergo transformation and soar to become the top powerhouses Between Heaven and Earth.

If one’s fate was strong enough, it could even conjure a Sacred position out of thin air, becoming the most powerful Saint Between Heaven and Earth. This was not just a rumor; the reason why the three clans erupted into war and Di Jun established the Heaven Court was to gather fate and use it to become a Saint.

Concentrating all the fate of Heaven and Earth within oneself, one could become the strongest Saint. This is the only known method to become a Saint without relying on the Purple Qi of Hongmeng.

Regrettably, although this method appeared early, no one has achieved this to date. Di Jun came infinitely close; had he defeated the Witch Clan and unified the Prehistoric World, he could have done so, but in the end, he failed.

Jiang Chen’s realm was surging until it finally stopped at the advanced stage of Quasi-Saint.

However, he himself possessed the ability to fight above his level. Now, although his realm was at the advanced stage of Quasi-Saint, he had the strength to rival a Quasi-Saint of the Great Perfection Level. As for the Great Divine Transcendents, there was still some distance to go.

"Power, such immense power, is this the power I wield after becoming the Human King?"

Jiang Chen swung his fist, feeling that with just a thought, he could mobilize the power of the Human Race’s fate, coalescing it into a supreme force to crush all his enemies.

After becoming the Human King, his power was not only his internal strength but also the strength of the entire Human Race, and with this, Jiang Chen’s might was forged.

"I have not yet reached my limit, I can be stronger! Just give me some more time, and even standing shoulder to shoulder with Great Divine Transcendents is not impossible."

Jiang Chen knew that he was far from reaching his limit. There were differences even among Human Kings. A weak Human King, like him, could only possess the realm of an advanced Quasi-Saint, but powerful Human Kings could have realms comparable to Great Divine Transcendents.

The Human King, embodying the power of the Human Race, would be stronger with greater contributions to the race, able to mobilize more power.

As a newly ascended Human King, Jiang Chen still had a long way to go. He needed to continue accumulating merits, walking toward the position of Human Emperor.

One must know, there is a complete difference between a reigning Human Emperor and one who is not in power.

During their reign, Human Emperors could receive the full support of the entire Human Race, their combat strength paralleling a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. However, once stepping down, their combat strength would immediately fall to the level of Great Divine Transcendents—a huge disparity.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

As Jiang Chen fully merged with the Dao Fruit of the Human King and descended from the sky, everyone immediately approached, bowed, and hailed him as their king.

From then on, Jiang Chen’s status was no longer the same, becoming the true king of the Human Race, holding sway over the rise and fall of his clan, regarded with utmost respect by the Human Race with no Human Emperor in place.

"Jiang Chen, you must have noticed your problem."

Jiang Xuan stepped forward, frowning as he spoke to Jiang Chen.

"The foundation is unstable, mainly because there is not a vast enough domain to support the Dao Fruit of the Human King. That’s why the foundation of the Dao Fruit of the Human King is unstable. But, it’s not a big deal. The vast expanses of the Nanbuzhan Continent are more than enough to sustain my Dao of the Human King."

Jiang Chen nodded, aware from the moment the Dao Fruit of the Human King fused with his body where the issue lay. Just as the Taoist Master of the Human Race had said, the problem was insignificant and easily solvable.

"The problem is serious!"

"Jiang Chen, you probably haven’t grasped the true intentions of the Law Hall masters and others. Their goals are far from being as simple as you imagine."

Seeing Jiang Chen’s lack of concern, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but speak up with a reminder.

"Do not worry, ancestor. The goal of the Law Hall master is simply the position of the Human King, and everything is within my control. No need to bother with him."

After ascending to the advanced stage of Quasi-Saint, Jiang Chen underwent a significant shift in mindset, due mainly to his elevated perspective that allowed him to see more and more clearly. Many things he didn’t understand before were now apparent to him.

Like, for instance, why the Law Hall master was so intent on implementing a policy of keeping a low profile, to the extent of even damaging the Human Race’s fate and interests.

And why there were repeated instances of individuals from different branches defecting from the Human Race to establish their own sects.

All of this was related to the Law Hall master, a result of his secret schemes to attain his unspeakable goal.

He wanted to become the Human King!

The Law Hall master had always aspired to be the Human King, then to use the Human Race’s fate to cultivate and reach higher realms. However, as the saying goes, "The cobbler should stick to his last." Although his qualifications were far superior to countless others, he lacked the boldness to become the Human King.
