CHAPTER 1935: CHAPTER 1220: MERIT OF THE GREAT DAO (PART 2)

After all, that is the Great Dao’s Merit. One might say there might be potential pitfalls in the Heavenly Dao’s Merit, but the Great Dao’s Merit has none. After all, the Great Dao is flawless and perfect; if its essence was flawed, how could it claim to be perfect?

By absorbing these Great Dao Merits, one can step into the Chaos Realm without any hitches. Who could resist such temptation?

The strong ones of the Prehistoric World couldn’t, and neither could the Chaos Demigods. Judging others by themselves, they naturally didn’t think Jiang Chen could resist either.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Chen did refuse.

Jiang Chen didn’t refine the Great Dao Merits as they thought to elevate his cultivation; instead, he gave all these Great Dao Merits to the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao to devour, allowing it to continue evolving.

Now, Jiang Chen is extremely calm, not blinded by the endless Great Dao’s Merit. He knows what kind of choice is in his best interest.

Refining these Great Dao’s Merit indeed allows him to break through to the Chaos Realm, but what meaning does that hold?

What after breaking through to the Chaos Realm?

What about the upcoming Half-step Eternal Realm, and the true Eternal Realm? How would Jiang Chen break through then?

At that time, there won’t be as much Great Dao’s Merit for him to absorb.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen knew that letting the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao absorb these Great Dao’s Merit was the best choice for him.

The Daoist Lotus of Great Dao itself is a Half-step Eternal level treasure; absorbing these Great Dao’s Merits will undoubtedly make it stronger and manifest more mysteries.

As the master of the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, the stronger the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, the more benefits Jiang Chen receives.

By comprehending the mysteries shown by the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, although his cultivation speed was much slower, it was enough for Jiang Chen to cultivate to a higher level. Whether he can achieve a truly Eternal Realm is uncertain, but achieving the Half-step Eternal Realm is definitely no problem.

Absorbing the Great Dao’s Merit, Jiang Chen could indeed ascend to the Heavens in one step, but in this lifetime, he might just stop at the Chaos Realm.

Conversely, if he lets the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao devour the Great Dao’s Merit, Jiang Chen, based on it, could at least achieve the Half-step Eternal Realm.

With two outcomes before him, how to choose is needless to say. Choosing the latter requires more time but yields greater benefits. And now, what Jiang Chen lacks the least is time.

Rumble!

Purple light surged like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring backward, vast and mighty rushing towards the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, allowing it to continue growing.

"Such audacity!"

"Instead of directly absorbing the Great Dao’s Merit, he gave it to the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao. Is Jiang Chen truly planning to open up an Eternal World?"

Even the Chaos Demigods were shocked by Jiang Chen’s choice. Then, they felt genuine admiration.

What a firm Dao heart it is to maintain calm in the face of tremendous temptation and make the best choice in the shortest time.

The Daoist Lotus of Great Dao is a ladder to Eternity; the more perfect it becomes, the closer to Eternity it is. And since it’s a ladder, it means that through it, many people can directly reach the Eternal Realm.

So, choosing to hand the Great Dao’s Merit to the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao is the best choice. In the future, when it becomes perfect, perhaps many people can use it to step into the Eternal Realm in this vast Heaven and Earth.

One person’s achievement of Eternity is still not enough. How bold is it to want everyone to achieve Eternity with him!

"This Daoist Lotus of Great Dao is becoming stronger and the mysteries it exudes more mesmerizing. Even I feel a compulsion to integrate myself into it."

"Alas, the future where Chaos is swallowed by the Prehistoric World is a trend that cannot be avoided. Likewise, Chaos Demigods merging with the Prehistoric World is already a trend, inevitable, just a matter of time."

A Chaos Demigod sighed, seeing the future of himself and his kind, that is, to abandon the Chaos Devil’s Body and completely integrate into the Prehistoric World.

Moreover, unlike before, previously their integration into the Prehistoric World was forced. But in the future, they will willingly integrate into the Prehistoric World.

There is no unwillingness because the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao’s allure is precisely a ladder to the Eternal Realm, the stronger one’s cultivation, the harder it is to refuse its temptation.

It can be foreseen that in the future, for the sake of comprehending the eternal mysteries contained in the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, the Chaos Demigods will definitely abandon their own origins and completely integrate into the Prehistoric World.

This is to lure with benefit!

The Daoist Lotus of Great Dao’s temptation is too great, even the Chaos Demigods cannot refuse.

Of course, the Chaos Demigods could also resort to force, using their immense power to seize control of the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, and even control of the Prehistoric World.

In this way, they don’t need to integrate into the Prehistoric World to comprehend the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao. However, this is very difficult, as the current Chaos Demigods are no longer confident they can achieve this.

After all, the previous mutual destruction caused them great losses, untold ages of accumulation all went to waste, requiring some time to recover.

...

Differently from the Chaos Demigods, the strong ones of the Prehistoric World are all genuinely grateful to Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen had directly absorbed the Great Dao’s Merit, only he would benefit. But he gave the Great Dao’s Merit to the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, so many people could benefit, essentially everyone could gain something.

How could everyone not be grateful to Jiang Chen for that?

However, though grateful in their hearts, this was not the time to express thanks. Everyone kept their eyes fixed on the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, observing its changes, engraving every detail in their minds.

It could be clearly seen, after absorbing the Great Dao’s Merit, the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao, originally with only a few cracks on its bud, was now half-blooming, the Supreme Heaven inside becoming increasingly clear.

Clear enough to clearly see a huge Divine Fetus of the Great Dao floating inside.

"Divine Fetus of the Great Dao?"

This sight left everyone immensely puzzled.

Why would the Supreme Heaven be nurturing a Divine Fetus of the Great Dao? Could it be that as the Supreme Heaven is born, a world ruler will also be born with it?

If so, that would be quite troublesome. After all, the beings born inside the Supreme Heaven are surely the future masters of the Supreme Heaven.

And everyone, in the future is to rely on the Supreme Heaven for practice. Now with a sudden emergence of a master inside the Supreme Heaven, does it mean they would all have to adhere to this person’s will in the future?

"How strange!"

"The Supreme Heaven is supposedly formed from Dao and logic, logically it shouldn’t be nurturing life?"

Everyone was deeply puzzled, then directed their gaze at Jiang Chen. If anyone understood the Supreme Heaven best, it must be Jiang Chen.

The Supreme Heaven is his creation, so he must be clear about the origin of that Divine Fetus of the Great Dao.

"No need to be so concerned, everyone. That Divine Fetus of the Great Dao was formed from my true self."

Noticing the puzzled looks from everyone, Jiang Chen explained.

The previous secrecy was out of fear that someone might destroy the Divine Fetus of the Great Dao to sever his Dao. But now, the Divine Fetus of the Great Dao is complete, no one can harm it, and there’s no need to keep it hidden anymore.

"I see!"

On the surface, everyone remained calm, but inside they were utterly astounded.

Previously, without looking closely, now with attentiveness, they discovered that this Divine Fetus of the Great Dao has existed for a long time, even longer than the history of the Daoist Lotus of Great Dao.

From this, it was clear Jiang Chen had been secretly planning many years ago.

It was then that everyone realized, why Jiang Chen had been so brazen, seemingly not afraid of death. He had this backup plan, even if he died, he could start over again, hence he acted with such abandon.

"Breaking through to Primordial Chaos, this is said to be achieving Dao. In other words, reaching the stage of Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial, one is no longer just a living being, but the Dao itself."

"And the Supreme Realm is completely constructed from Dao and logic. Therefore, to enter the Supreme Heaven, one must at least possess the cultivation of Primordial Chaos, only then can one avoid being assimilated by it."

At this moment, the Taoist Ancestor spoke, changing the subject.
