CHAPTER 1857: 1,178 IMMORTAL WORLD TREMBLES_2

"If we really do this, it’s feared that even before the Star Lord acts, the Taoist Ancestors will not let us go."

Some Great Divine Transcendents expressed nonchalance.

The attitude of these Great Divine Transcendents was very clear; they were resigned to fate.

If Jiang Chen succeeds in reconstructing Mount Buzhou, it signifies destiny is with him, and everyone might as well surrender directly, as resisting would be futile.

Conversely, if Jiang Chen fails to reconstruct Mount Buzhou, it means destiny is with them, giving them an opportunity to suppress Jiang Chen’s prestige while strengthening the Immortal World.

"Although this method is not truly a method, it is currently the only viable option."

"Now that the Star Lord is preparing to reconstruct Mount Buzhou, we have only two choices: either go and help, or watch from here."

"Therefore, we can only wait, wait for the outcome before deciding."

Destroying Jiang Chen’s endeavor to reconstruct Mount Buzhou was something no one dared to do, not even Taiyi entertained such a thought.

Thus, their situation now is rather awkward, unable to interfere nor assist, they could only watch from the sidelines.

"Everyone, given the current situation, we should make early plans, rather than sinking with this ship of the Immortal World."

"My idea is, while this ship of the Immortal World hasn’t sunk yet and still has value, sell it for a good price to recover our losses."

Though many held onto the fortunate belief that Jiang Chen couldn’t succeed in reconstructing Mount Buzhou, not everyone thought so. Some held a pessimistic view, planning to surrender.

Taking advantage of the situation not yet reaching the worst, they proactively integrated the Immortal World into the Nine States. In this way, they could earn some merit in reconstructing the Prehistoric World, thereby recovering some losses.

It’s safe to say, this was a shared thought among many Great Divine Transcendents of the Immortal World. However, due to the immutable feud between the current rulers of the Immortal World, like Taiyi and the Master of the Heavenly Palace, and Jiang Chen, defecting to Jiang Chen was absolutely not an option for them.

"How can there be a reason to fear before the battle?"

"Moreover, the Immortal World is the result of our hard work, now that we haven’t gained anything, how can we let outsiders take advantage?"

The call to surrender immediately sparked strong opposition among many Great Divine Transcendents, unsurprisingly, all of whom were enemies with the Human Race.

The earlier talk of surrender was merely venting, but saying it earnestly now showed genuine intent, with an inclination to put it into action.

Would those Great Divine Transcendents with grudges against the Human Race agree?

Not only wouldn’t they agree, they’d even persuade others to abandon such thoughts, stand firm, and jointly oppose Jiang Chen and the Human Race. Otherwise, relying only on their words, they wouldn’t be a match for the Human Race.

Unfortunately, the alliance was forged on shared interests, thus ensuring unity when interests were aligned.

But now facing divergent interests, let alone maintaining unity, even parting ways isn’t out of question.

At present, Great Divine Transcendents of the Immortal World have the idea of parting ways.

"True, the Immortal World is our hard work, but it is also true that we can’t preserve it now. Since we can’t preserve it, why not stop the losses in time?"

"Do we really need to wait until we’ve lost everything to wake up?"

"Or perhaps, you all are unwilling to make a deal with the Star Lord not because the method isn’t feasible, but because you are incapable."

"You have enmity with the Star Lord, hence unwilling to see us negotiate with him. For personal gain, you harm our interests."

"What kind of allies are these?"

The contradictions within the Immortal World, accumulated over thousands of years, finally exploded at this moment, as they accused each other in the highest Divine Palace of the Immortal World.

You call me spineless, I call you harboring evil intentions...

"Enough!"

Seeing the sacred and solemn hall turned into a bustling marketplace, Taiyi said displeasedly.

Taiyi commanded respect, and with his voice, everyone stopped speaking, returning to their seats angrily and in silence.

"Such noise won’t lead to a result. It’s better to go back and calm down for a while, then discuss again once the reconstruction of Mount Buzhou reaches a conclusion."

Tired and somewhat disheartened, Taiyi suggested dispersing everyone.

"His Majesty is right!"

"I think I should leave first, to avoid any fights and embarrassing everyone."

As soon as Taiyi finished, a Great Divine Transcendent stood up, cupped his hands towards everyone, and left the hall directly.

After him, many others stood up, and soon, except for a few of the strongest, the rest of the Great Divine Transcendents had left.

"Alas, the hearts of the Immortal World have scattered."

Once everyone had left, the second figure of the Immortal World, Daoist Taiyu, remarked with emotion.

By now, the situation was very apparent; the disbanding of the Immortal World alliance was just short of the news of Jiang Chen successfully reconstructing Mount Buzhou.

Yet they were helpless about it, hoping and praying for Jiang Chen’s failure.

"If Jiang Chen wants to reconstruct Mount Buzhou, there will surely be obstruction from Chaos Demigods, the probability of his success isn’t high."

The Master of the Heavenly Palace said leisurely, knowing a lot about the situation, hence not believing in Jiang Chen’s success.

"If Chaos Demigods come to obstruct, naturally there would be assistance from the great transcendents of the Prehistoric World."

"Do you think why were those people in such a hurry to leave just now, if not to help Jiang Chen at a critical moment, to earn some merit?"

Daoist Taiyu sneered from the side.

People left under the guise of calming down, but in reality weren’t they secretly heading to the Mount Buzhou site for a spectacle, prepared to assist if needed, to gain personal favor?

"It won’t succeed."

"In the Prehistoric World, apart from Chaos Demigods, many great transcendents don’t wish to see Mount Buzhou reappear."

"Even if they can’t act directly, they’d secretly send unrelated avatars."

Seemingly thinking of something, a cold smile appeared on the Master of the Heavenly Palace’s face.

"Yes, certainly there’ll be covert interference."

Daoist Taiyu affirmed with conviction, confident enough to suggest he knew who would act, or perhaps he was unwilling to see Mount Buzhou reconstructed himself.

Feeling discouraged all along, Taiyi remained silent, but upon hearing the two, though his face showed no change, his heart was in turmoil.

What did these two mean, intending to sabotage Jiang Chen’s reconstruction of Mount Buzhou? How dare they? Colluding with Chaos Demigods to destroy their own pillar is an act of betrayal.

If discovered, the consequences would be more severe than him destroying the Chaos World, inciting relentless pursuit by all Prehistoric great transcendents.

At that moment, Taiyi suddenly realized he might not understand the Immortal World alliance as well as he thought, their thoughts were far more terrifying.

"Ah, of course we’re going to see, since the teacher personally went to the Mount Buzhou site, as disciples, how can we merely watch from the sidelines?"

Mindful of the discord, Taiyi didn’t show it, instead opting to take the two to the Mount Buzhou site to pay respects to the Honjan Daizu.

Though not explicitly stated, everyone knew that Taiyi was the favored student of the Taoist Ancestors, the only inheritor of his true teachings. Now that the Taoist Ancestor appeared, Taiyi had to visit no matter what.

Thus Taiyi took the two to the Mount Buzhou site.

...

"Turning false into reality?"

"It’s an approach, but insufficient."

At this time, at the Mount Buzhou site, the six sages saw the suddenly appearing Mount Buzhou, guessing Jiang Chen’s method in reconstructing it. While marveling at his ingenuity, they felt it was not enough.

Jiang Chen should have other means, thinking so, the sages eagerly watched him, curious about his further ingenious ideas.

But before Jiang Chen could act, figures of Great Divine Transcendents appeared in the distance; they were the great transcendents from the Prehistoric World, rushing over to help upon sensing the situation.

"Stop, all of you, go back!"

As soon as the Great Divine Transcendents appeared, the Taoist Ancestor, with a sweep of his whisk, commanded them all to retreat.
