Chapter 944: Five Sacred Beasts of the Five Directions have made a huge investment at all costs

Such a character joining the Divine Dao is a sign of respect for you; if you don’t grant him a high position, wouldn’t that provoke the ridicule of the entire world?

Even if the people of the world don’t scoff, the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t just let it go. The position of the sacred beasts is sealed by the Heavenly Dao, and if the Heavenly Dao still treats the five sacred beasts with such regard, how much more so the Divine Dao?

To belittle the five sacred beasts is to disdain the Heavenly Dao, and that is a very serious problem.

"Haha, young friend, rest assured, if we join the Divine Dao one day, then the affairs of the Divine Dao will be our affairs, and we will certainly not stand idly by," the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast said with a laugh, knowing the purpose of Jiang Chen.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen instantly relaxed and joyfully said, "With the five seniors present, the Divine Dao can indeed thrive, and if the Divine Dao prospers, Jiang Chen guarantees, he will spare no effort in helping the five seniors break free from their bonds."

The five sacred beasts joined the Divine Dao, valuing its future, perhaps able to help them. And Jiang Chen agreed to their joining the Divine Dao for their strength.

The five sacred beasts have immense strength, comparable to the Saints! The Divine Dao is just starting out with hardly any supreme experts, so how can it compete with the well-established Immortal Dao, Buddhism Dao, and Demonic Way?

But with the addition of the five sacred beasts, things immediately change. Even if the Divine Dao doesn’t have many experts, as long as the five sacred beasts are there, no one would dare to belittle the Divine Dao. This is a mutually beneficial situation, so naturally, Jiang Chen had no reason to refuse.

As for the five sacred beasts being trapped at the four extremities of the land, unable to emerge except during a great calamity, that was hardly a problem for Jiang Chen.

As long as his plan to reshape the Prehistoric World is successful, the extremities of heaven and earth would naturally become incredibly stable. By then, there would be no need for the five sacred beasts to suppress them, and they could gain their freedom.

This was something that Jiang Chen thought of after meeting the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast. If he were to successfully reshape the Prehistoric World, aside from himself, who would benefit the most?

It is, of course, the five sacred beasts, trapped by the four extremities of the land, who would directly gain their freedom.

The grace of regaining freedom is not inferior to the grace of rebirth, and this debt would be immense. If Jiang Chen really could reshape the Prehistoric World, then the five sacred beasts would indeed each owe him a huge favor.

Those who lose the Tao have little help; those who attain the Tao have much help. Jiang Chen suddenly felt a deeper understanding of this saying. He had no intention of scheming against the five sacred beasts, yet somehow he had become connected with them.

This meant that the task of reshaping the Prehistoric World was indeed the Heavenly Will. Jiang Chen just needed to continue step by step, and many powerful helpers would naturally come to assist him.

"Hmm, by the look of it, young friend, do you have the confidence to help us resolve our predicament?"

The Black Tortoise Sacred Beast was an extraordinary character, much like the Emperor Fuxi, both top-tier figures in the art of calculation. Although Jiang Chen spoke vaguely, the Black Tortoise still heard confidence in his voice.

"Junior has a great plan, and if successful, it will lead to an unprecedented change. By then, there will be a chance for the seniors to escape their bonds. If unsuccessful, it will lead to a Heavenly Earth Calamity, and at that time, we will need the seniors to step in and stabilize the Prehistoric World," Jiang Chen said.

The matter of reshaping the Prehistoric World was far more important than that of the Divine Dao. Even though the Black Tortoise declared that this place could not be spied upon, Jiang Chen still did not reveal his plan.

"Sss—"

"What are you planning that could trigger a Heavenly Earth Calamity?"

Even the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast, with his composure, was shocked by Jiang Chen’s words and couldn’t help but ask.

The plan was truly terrifying. If successful, it could free them from their bonds, but if not, it would lead to a Heavenly Earth Calamity requiring the presence of the five to stabilize the world.

What kind of joke was this? Only two calamities currently required their intervention: the Great War of Witches and Demons, and the Leader Tongtian’s defiance against the four great saints. Both of these were apocalyptic calamities.

According to Jiang Chen, he was also planning an earth-shattering calamity? That was absolutely not permissible; the current state of the Prehistoric World could not withstand such turmoil.

"Don’t be reckless. Although we five desire freedom, it is not yet at the point where we would risk the safety of the Prehistoric World," the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast cautioned, worried that Jiang Chen might act recklessly.

"Senior, rest assured, my plan has the support of the Heavenly Dao, and the chance of failure is very low. Moreover, it will bring great benefits to the Prehistoric World. Of course, because of this, the stakes are higher if it fails. One misstep could prematurely trigger the Quantitative Calamity," Jiang Chen explained.

Reshaping the Prehistoric World was a major trend. If that failed, Jiang Chen dared not think of the consequences of such failure; they would be dire.

"Enough, I won’t ask anything more. I also won’t ask anymore. The young people of today are extraordinary, casually capable of destroying heaven and earth. Their courage is much greater than us old folks," the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast shook his head, sensing that he wouldn’t get any more information from Jiang Chen’s attitude and deciding not to pursue further.

"As long as you are confident, it’s good. If you really can resolve our predicament, then we five will owe you a huge favor. At that time, it’s not just us; all three clans will support you with all their might," the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast promised, knowing what Jiang Chen wanted. If they could truly regain their freedom, they were willing to support Jiang Chen fully; they were indeed tired of being trapped for countless years.

"Then senior, just wait and see. The day when I carry out my grand plan is not far off," Jiang Chen happily responded upon receiving the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast’s assurance. With the support of the three clans, the obstacles to reshaping the Prehistoric World undeniably lessened a great deal.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s discuss the formal matter at hand. You came to the Northern Netherworld to go to the Ruined Land, right?" the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast changed the subject and began to discuss the real issue with Jiang Chen.
