Chapter 1945: Chapter 1225: The New Saint (Part 2)

Therefore, if they were to vote, they would definitely choose the new generation of young people, and not the old figures from the past.

In this way, the young man Duobao became the best candidate. Actually, Jiang Chen was a better choice, but Jiang Chen was clearly unable to become a Saint, so they chose Duobao, who was second to him.

Another point, Duobao had a more unique feature, which was that he was well-versed in both the East and West. He was not only a disciple of the Sanqing but also a disciple of the two Western Saints.

With the sacrifice of the two Western Saints to save Heaven and Earth, they have completely melded into the Prehistoric World. The convergence of East and West has become the trend.

At this time, someone well-versed in both cultures becoming a Saint would undoubtedly better promote the integration of both sides.

Whether in terms of identity or future trends, Duobao was chosen. So, Duobao becoming a Saint was inevitable.

All the Great Divine Transcendents present were wise people, and with a little thought, they understood the reasoning behind this. Then, they said no more.

Not to mention that Duobao was indeed the most suitable person, just the fact that he was the one chosen by everyone’s vote meant that no one dared to say he was unqualified to become a Saint.

As for claiming there was manipulation behind the scenes, would that not be accusing the Taoist Ancestor of losing the heart of fairness? That would be less preferable than opposing Duobao becoming a Saint.

“Hmm, Duobao, once this is over, follow me to Zixiao Palace, and I will teach you for a period.”

Hongjun nodded, found Duobao who was sitting in the back, and told him to follow him to Zixiao Palace later.

As for this blatant favoritism, none of the Great Divine Transcendents present found it inappropriate.

Having experienced a cataclysm, Duobao was now already a Great Divine Transcendent. Although his cultivation level was indeed not weak, in terms of foundation, he was still lacking.

Therefore, for the Taoist Ancestor to give him special instruction was perfectly normal. After all, he was about to become a Saint, and if his foundation was insufficient, it had to be remedied somehow.

It is universally acknowledged that Saints have privileges.

“Thank you, Master Ancestor!”

Duobao replied excitedly.

It was really like a pie falling from the sky. Now all the powerhouses of the Prehistoric World were gathered here, and among the young people, Duobao was indeed not bad, but among these powerhouses, he was a little lacking.

So, he always thought he was just here to fill out the background. But who would have thought that fate would favor him so much, thinking he was just a bystander, he unexpectedly gained the greatest benefit.

He mysteriously obtained a Sacred position!

If it were another Sacred position, Duobao might have had some probability of refusal. But this Sacred position came from his master, so Duobao would not refuse no matter what.

This Saint, he was determined to take!

Filled with excitement, Duobao momentarily did not know what to say, he could only make his way excitedly to the side of the Upper Qing Saint, hoping his master could give him some guidance.

In response to this, the Upper Qing Saint had only one comment, which was that he hoped Duobao would not emulate him.

…

……

Thus, one Sacred position was determined, and everyone shifted their gaze from Duobao to Jiang Chen.

Duobao becoming a Saint was inevitable. As soon as he returned from Zixiao Palace, he could immediately become a Saint. Meanwhile, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng in Jiang Chen’s hand still had no owner.

So everyone was curious to know who Jiang Chen would choose to become a Saint.

“To give the New Era a chance, I shall leave this Purple Qi of Hongmeng in my hand to a living being of the New Era.”

Jiang Chen definitely would not choose a new Saint from the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, so his choice was for the living beings of the New Era.

If he were to choose a Saint, it would surely be someone beneficial to him. The powerhouses of the Old Era were basically all supporters of the Taoist Ancestor.

Only the powerhouses born in the New Era were Jiang Chen’s staunchest supporters. Thus, if he were to choose a Saint, he must choose from among these people.

“Every generation has its legend, and I look forward to the rise of a Saint belonging to them in the New Era, to speak on their behalf.”

As he spoke, Jiang Chen raised his hand and tossed the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, letting it choose a master on its own to bring forth a Saint for the New Era.

“Good!”

Recognizing this, the Taoist Ancestor smiled and praised it as a great virtuous act.

Jiang Chen was right; every generation has its legend. If Heaven and Earth were only filled with old figures, what fun would that be? A new Saint should emerge, to bring different changes to this old Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, as time goes by, for resources and benefits, the powerhouses of the New Era are bound to clash with those of the Old Era.

At that time, the New Era would need a Saint of its own. Otherwise, how could they possibly contend against the powerhouses of the Old Era?

Honjan Daizu wanted to see a vibrant Prehistoric World, not one that was lifeless, so certainly, he would support Jiang Chen.

Their era had already passed, and they should retreat according to the current trend and make way for the new protagonists, instead of continuing to covet power and occupying resources.

If the rulers of Heaven and Earth were forever those people, what future could there be for this Heaven and Earth?

“Indeed, we old figures are no longer suitable to become Saints.”

“As the teacher said earlier, an opportunity missed is missed, in the last Era, we were given the chance, but we failed to seize it.”

“In our Era, it was so, how could it possibly succeed in this Era that doesn’t belong to us?”

“Staying honestly in Supreme Heaven to cultivate is our best choice.”

There was a Great Divine Transcendent who came to this realization and spoke with emotion.

He had realized that the Heavenly Dao had grown weary of them, not wishing to see them again. Therefore, Jiang Chen followed the destiny of Heaven and allowed them all to go to Supreme Heaven.

Yes, it was the Heavenly Dao that allowed them into Supreme Heaven, not Jiang Chen, nor the Taoist Ancestor.

Grasping this clearly, they naturally knew what to choose next. Staying peacefully in Supreme Heaven and relying on their merits, they could live freely without tribulation.

Yet, if they could not withstand solitude and kept interfering in the development of the Chaos World, then even they would face tribulations and destruction.

Indeed, the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial would not fall, but not falling does not mean they cannot be weakened. Just like those Chaos Demigods, they have not fallen, but their state is even more painful than falling.

Compared to their peak, how much of their power remains? Turning from giants to ants, such a disparity is not something everyone can accept.

Many realized this point, and for a moment, the atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

The recently resurrected ones had not yet had a chance to make a big impact but suddenly discovered that they were rejected by the Heavenly Dao, a truly unpleasant feeling.

But no one comforted them.

Being rejected by Heaven and Earth could only mean they had not done well enough. Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao not reject Jiang Chen or Fuxi or Nuwa?

Before blaming Heaven and Earth, it would be better to reflect on oneself, on what one has done for Heaven and Earth.

“Everyone, since everything is settled, why not join me in opening the Chaos Heaven?”

Sensing the atmosphere was a bit off, Jiang Chen timely spoke up, inviting everyone to join him in opening the Chaos Heaven, also known as the Celestial Heaven, which was to be the habitation for Quasi-Saints.

The location of Chaos Heaven was between the Chaos World and Supreme Heaven, which was the original location of the Chaos of Outer Heaven, hence also known as the Celestial Heaven.

The Celestial Heaven, the Heaven beyond Heaven, its existence replaced the previous Outer Chaos, being a secluded retreat arranged by Jiang Chen for the Quasi-Saints of the Prehistoric World.

Though its position and role were similar to the Outer Chaos, the Celestial Heaven, due to its proximity to Supreme Heaven, was filled with the mysteries of the Great Dao, and to cultivate there would surpass the outside by countless times, exceeding even the Holy Land of the Old Era.

It could be said that the Celestial Heaven was extremely precious, and if, in the past, there were knowledge of such a place’s existence, the Quasi-Saints of the Prehistoric World would have preferred a great war to enter it.

This was a benefit Jiang Chen prepared for the Quasi-Saints entering the Celestial Heaven. After all, without such benefits, the Celestial Heaven would truly become a cage.
