Chapter 992: 726 Primordial Chaos Pupil

The Innate Dao Sovereign could reverse cause and effect, possessing the ability to manipulate time and space.

However, due to Pangu Great God’s presence at the source of the River of Time and Space, which made the past constant, this ability was almost unusable, but it definitely existed.

The ability to manipulate time and space was not only expressed in reversing cause and effect, but it also allowed the Dao Sovereign to traverse the River of Time and Space.

Since one could navigate the River of Time and Space, everything in the past could naturally be scrutinized. In theory, the Dao Sovereign could know everything that had happened.

But theory is, after all, just theory, and different from reality. In the Prehistoric World, there weren’t only Innate Dao Sovereigns, but also beings stronger than them, such as Quasi-Saints, Great Divine Transcendents, and Saints.

In the River of Time and Space, they possessed greater priority than the Innate Dao Sovereign. Therefore, their pasts, shrouded by their own Great Dao, were not something the Innate Dao Sovereigns could spy upon.

Beyond that, there were mists everywhere in the River of Time and Space; all were methods left by the Saints.

If even sages are not infallible, who can be without fault? Even saints once had their youth and made mistakes. Although saints stood high above all, they too made mistakes before they achieved enlightenment, committing many acts that others should not be aware of.

These are the dark spots of the Saints; if discovered by others, they would somewhat tarnish the perfect image of the Saints. Saints are meant to be perfect, so how can they have dark spots? They must be erased.

However, the past is unchangeable and even Saints could not defy the will of Pangu Great God.

If they can’t change it, would they just let those dark spots exist for posterity to see? Of course not. Thus, several Saints used their techniques to conceal their dark spots, making them unobservable to others.

This fog was the method left by the Saints, not only concealing their dark spots but also that entire Chapter of the past.

During the Quantitative Calamity Era, some Saints played very disgraceful roles, so they straight up sealed the entire Ancient Era, rendering it impossible for later generations to look into the true situation of the Ancient Era, only able to believe in the historical records.

Similarly, during the era of the Three Tribes, a certain Taoist Ancestor also did many disgraceful deeds, so after becoming a Saint, the first thing he did was seal off the Three Tribes era.

It is because of the existence of these mists that the history of the Prehistoric World has many gaps, looking disjointed and unclear to the observer.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen looked out and, to his surprise, found that everything about the Ancient Era was laid bare before his eyes.

Like at a certain time, when the Ten Golden Crows were still young and frolicking in the Eastern Sea Soup Valley, suddenly, a Taoist appeared before them and, with highly enticing words, lured them out of Soup Valley towards the great lands of the Prehistoric World.

And this was the very spark that ignited the cataclysmic battle between the witch tribes and the demon tribes. The Ten Golden Crows brought chaos to the Prehistoric World, and the great witch Da Yi shot the suns in anger.

"Hiss~~"

"This, this..."

"That Taoist couldn’t have been the Predestined Taoist from the West, could he..."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath and hurriedly averted his gaze.

This scene was truly terrifying. He had actually seen a Saint’s dark history; if a certain Western Saint found out about this, would he call out to him with the words, "Fellow, you and the West are predestined!"?

Oh, that’s not right; he was already predestined with the West, as the current leader of the Western Sect. With that thought, it didn’t matter; even if Zhunti Saint was angry, he couldn’t possibly silence him.

"My, my, was this the scene where Zhunti Taoist tricked the Ten Golden Crows back then? Strange, how did I manage to see it?"

"Such a secret from the past should have been tightly secured, capable of overturning Zhunti Saint’s image if revealed. How could it be seen by me?"

Jiang Chen was truly shocked, the matter involved the integrity of a Saint, which was of great importance—Quasi-Saint Zhunti would surely guard it with his life, not allowing outsiders to become privy to this matter.

Given this, the question arose, how did he manage to see it?

If the world were to find out that Quasi-Saint Zhunti had once deceived a child, that scene was simply unthinkable, the reputation of the Saint would plummet, scorned by all sentient beings, causing an extremely negative impact.

"Di Jun’s origin!"

A thought struck him, and Jiang Chen roughly understood what was going on. He closed his left eye, and instantly, his vision filled with fog, concealing the past belonging to the Ancient Era.

And when he reopened his left eye, the fog dispersed one after another. Everything became clear before his eyes once again.

"The Eye of Primordial Chaos!"

"Who would have thought, after that mass of Di Jun’s origin fused with the Sun Star, it would actually cause my left eye to undergo a metamorphosis and advance into the Primordial Chaos state, possessing a portion of the Primordial Chaos ability."

Jiang Chen’s tone was inexplicable—he hadn’t achieved the Quasi-Saint realm, yet his left eye had already advanced into the Primordial Chaos state, possessing a part of the abilities of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

In other words, if one day the Immeasurable Kalpa were to erupt, Jiang Chen’s body would be destroyed, but not his left eye—it would survive, and even evolve into an Innate Treasure.

Although a Saint’s methods were powerful, they too were merely of the Primordial Chaos level, unable to deceive a Daluo Jinxian of the same level. After his left eye had undergone Primordial Chaos transformation, it naturally could see through the tactics of a Saint.

"This is good news!"

"My left eye will become my greatest advantage, with nothing below the Primordial Chaos able to hide, and any Divine Ability will be seen through by me."

Jiang Chen appeared very excited; the transformation of his left eye into Primordial Chaos brought him immense benefits, whether in combat or in cultivation.

From the perspective of Primordial Chaos, the rules of Heaven and Earth became clearer, as if all secrets between Heaven and Earth were laid bare before his eyes, within reach. Thus, cultivation naturally became easier than before.

Similarly, from the Primordial Chaos perspective, any Divine Ability below this realm would be seen through by him, all mysteries would have nowhere to hide.

In a word, there are no secrets before me, and Divine Abilities are full of flaws, how can you fight me?

And...

Jiang Chen tried to activate his left eye, and in an instant, all the strength in his body was summoned, with his left eye seemingly becoming the Sun itself, suddenly emitting a brilliant Great Sun divine light, striking into the Chaos in front of him.

Boom!

The Chaos was shattering, split open by the Great Sun divine light, with rules emerging and interweaving into countless Great Sun divine patterns, as if to carve out a Great Sun world amidst this Chaos.

A heaven-opening strike, with power not inferior to that of activating an Innate Treasure, was truly terrifying to the extreme.

"So powerful!"

Jiang Chen was astounded by the power of this strike, thinking that if he had such prowess earlier, why bother fighting Huang Jiao the Immortal at all—simply shoot him dead with a beam of light.

However, as powerful as this strike was, it was also quite draining. With just a single divine light, the energy within Jiang Chen’s body was exhausted, leaving him weak and nearly collapsing.

One strike had drained him completely.
