CHAPTER 1851: 1175 THE FRIGHTENED CHAOS DEMIGOD_2

"If it were truly the work of a Chaos Demigod, it wouldn’t be so simple."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized something was amiss. He rushed forward, placing his hand on Gonggong to check his condition.

As he examined, Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed. His intuition was correct; the Chaos Demigod had indeed left a hidden trick on Gonggong.

Even Gonggong himself hadn’t noticed that, at some point, a chaos mark had been implanted in his original source by the Chaos Demigod.

Through this chaos mark, it could be said that Gonggong’s life and death were entirely in the hands of the Chaos Demigod. With a single thought, his fate could be decided.

In this situation, it seems Gonggong himself didn’t know he had been refined into a puppet by the Chaos Demigod. He appeared to be in control of himself, but in truth, it was because the Chaos Demigod’s fallback had not yet been triggered.

Once activated, he would immediately lose his sense of self, resolutely execute the Chaos Demigod’s orders, and turn against his own companions in the heat of battle.

Or he could explode directly, further devastating the ruins of Mount Buzhou, thus brewing a catastrophe to annihilate the Prehistoric World.

Yes, self-detonation!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen understood the purpose behind the Chaos Demigod refining Gonggong as a puppet. It wasn’t to place him in the Prehistoric World as a spy, but to prepare him as a fallback.

A fallback to detonate the ruins of Mount Buzhou!

No matter how meticulous the plan, there comes a day when it gets discovered. The Chaos Demigod anticipated this and thus refined Gonggong into a puppet.

Suppose, before Gonggong was consumed by Chaos Qi and completely perished, someone discovered his true state and sought ways to heal him, striving to salvage the increasingly deteriorating ruins of Mount Buzhou.

Then the demon god mark left inside Gonggong would immediately activate, causing Gonggong to self-destruct and thoroughly destroy the ruins of Mount Buzhou.

By that time, the ruins of Mount Buzhou would be reduced to nothingness, and endless Chaos Qi would surge forth, threatening to engulf the entire Prehistoric World.

What is meant by Heavenly Earth Calamity? This is precisely it. Faced with endless Chaos Qi, a slight misstep could lead to the downfall of the Prehistoric World.

"What a sinister scheme."

Upon understanding the plan of the Chaos Demigod, Jiang Chen felt a chill in his heart. They had nearly allowed the Chaos Demigod’s plan to succeed.

If he had arrived a moment later and Gonggong had been consumed by Chaos Qi, then without his suppression, the ruins of Mount Buzhou would disintegrate, turning the calamity into reality, posing an unprecedented crisis to the Prehistoric World.

Likewise, if someone else had come and discovered the situation here, the outcome of the calamity would remain unchanged.

If someone else came here and discovered the truth, the demon god mark within Gonggong would likely have already been triggered.

A self-explosion by a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial—no matter if it’s a grievously injured one—would generate enough destruction to utterly annihilate the already critically damaged ruins of Mount Buzhou.

By then, the Chaos Sea spreading, endless Chaos Qi surging, the calamity of destroying the world would also arrive.

Instead, with Jiang Chen coming here, he was able to prevent this calamity from occurring. Gonggong not having exploded yet is proof of that.

Why hasn’t the demon god mark within Gonggong been triggered to make him self-destruct? It’s not that the Chaos Demigod doesn’t want to, but because they can’t. The demon god mark inside Gonggong has long been suppressed by the Heart of Pangu.

Pangu is a special assault against the Chaos Demigod, and in his presence, the Chaos Demigod has no room to act arrogantly.

The demon god mark left within Gonggong, though mysterious, is like a mouse before a cat when faced with the Heart of Pangu.

The moment it senses its aura, it falls into complete silence, devoid of any power.

As for why the Chaos Demigods haven’t actively destroyed the ruins of Mount Buzhou, they do possess that capability, and indeed, they could succeed if they took action.

But if they destroyed the ruins of Mount Buzhou, attempting to leave would be difficult. Honjan Daizu would undoubtedly appear immediately, blocking their path and using their Chaos Demigod bodies to repair the Prehistoric World on the brink of collapse.

The Chaos Demigods do wish to destroy the Prehistoric World, but they aren’t so insane as to achieve that goal by sacrificing themselves.

Moreover, if sacrificing themselves could truly end up destroying the Prehistoric World, they might as well forget it.

The problem is if Honjan Daizu were to use their demonic bodies to repair the Prehistoric World, not only would it resolve this crisis, but it would make the Prehistoric World even stronger.

In this way, their actions would be somewhat counterproductive.

Therefore, the Chaos Demigods would rather make extra efforts, using Gonggong to destroy the ruins of Mount Buzhou, rather than actively act, placing themselves in danger.

...

Jiang Chen comprehended the Chaos Demigods’ plan.

He found the reason why the demon god mark couldn’t be triggered, but why the Chaos Demigods haven’t appeared remains a mystery to him.

By all logic, with the Chaos Demigods having made so many arrangements here, upon discovering their plan’s failure, they should at least come to the scene to see if any remedy is possible.

But up until now, Jiang Chen hasn’t sensed any presence of the Chaos Demigods nearby, which is very odd.

Such a strange situation makes Jiang Chen more vigilant, worrying that the Chaos Demigods are lurking, preparing to launch a major attack on him.

However, Jiang Chen’s doubts didn’t last long; soon he knew why the Chaos Demigods dared not to appear.

While Jiang Chen was in a state of uncertainty, under the lead of Honjan Daizu, the six Saints of the Heavenly Dao appeared alongside him in front of Jiang Chen.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately understood why the Chaos Demigods dared not show themselves. He feared there might be a trap here, and the Chaos Demigods were equally wary.

With the six Saints of the Heavenly Dao, plus Jiang Chen and Honjan Daizu, it could be said that the top-tier combat power of the Prehistoric World was gathered here.

Seeing this scene, even if the Chaos Demigods were given eight times the courage, they wouldn’t risk showing up.

Disregarding others, just Honjan Daizu alone—who in the Prehistoric World could match him? Even a Chaos Demigod in the Chaos Realm would be suppressed in a confrontation within the Prehistoric World.

This is not the power of the Taoist Ancestors, but the power of the Heavenly Dao.

In the Prehistoric World, the Heavenly Dao is invincible!

The Chaos Demigods feared the Heavenly Dao and thus dared not act rashly. Without the Heavenly Dao, do you really think the current rulers of the Prehistoric World could stand against the Chaos Demigods?

The Heavenly Dao, the true guardian deity of the Prehistoric World!

Upon sensing that the Taoist Ancestors were leading the six Saints personally toward the ruins of Mount Buzhou, even if the Chaos Demigods discovered their plan had been exposed, they dared not come.

Under such circumstances, there’s only one result for coming here: like a meat bun fed to a dog, there’s no return.

Not only would it fail to solve the problem, but it would trap themselves, contributing a part of their own strength to the strengthening of the Prehistoric World.

...

Seeing the Taoist Ancestors and the six Saints arriving, Jiang Chen realized his worries were somewhat unfounded unless the Chaos Demigods wished to court death; they wouldn’t come here these days.

"Greetings, Taoist Ancestor!"

Stepping forward, Jiang Chen bowed to the Taoist Ancestor, then also saluted Empress Nuwa and the Upper Qing Saints. As for the remaining four Saints, he nodded slightly as a form of greeting.

"When I came, seeing His Majesty so tense, did something happen here?"

Honjan Daizu nodded in return and then asked curiously. As his voice fell, Primordial Heavenly Sovereign’s expression showed a slight change.

Honjan Daizu opened his mouth and referred to Jiang Chen as His Majesty. Such a simple title, yet it conveyed an extremely important message: the Taoist Ancestor recognized Jiang Chen’s status, acknowledging him as Tiandi.

With the golden words of the Taoist Ancestor, having acknowledged it, from now on, no one could claim Jiang Chen’s imperial position was privately passed down by the Jade Emperor and invalid.

At least the Mystic Sect believes so!

Once the Jade Emperor’s merit is complete, Jiang Chen can directly ascend the throne as emperor. As for when the Jade Emperor’s merit will be complete, that depends on the future situation.
