Chapter 1980: Chapter 1244: Destiny Demon God (Part 2)

“Judging from the outcome, the Destiny Demon is not as formidable as the Space-Time Demon. In the Prehistoric World, the River of Destiny is beneath space and time, and their disparity in strength is evident.”

The Great Dao inherently has no distinction of high or low, but the Chaos Demigods who wield it vary in strength. It is precisely because of this that the Great Dao is perceived to have strength disparities.

It is not the Great Dao that is strong, but those who wield it elevate it to a supreme level, thereby creating its strength.

The strength of the Great Dao can be seen in the structure of the Prehistoric World, the more foundational a Dao is in supporting heaven and earth, the stronger it is. Because during the creation of the Primordial World, they contributed the most effort, hence they are the strongest.

The essence of the Primordial World evolving into the Eternal World is to transform all Daos to perfection, elevating them to the eternal level, making them indistinguishable in terms of strength.

“Is it because you absorbed the power of the Destiny Demon that you were cursed by him, making it impossible to refine this place?”

Jiang Chen had surmised the cause, more or less.

No wonder the powerful Thunder Demon God encountered so many unexpected events when refining this place; it turns out it was due to the interference of destiny.

“Yes, the Curse of Destiny causes me to encounter various unforeseen events when refining this place. Moreover, because the power of the Destiny Demon surpasses mine, I am unable to remove this curse.”

“Could it be that if only I refine this place, even Pangu might not be my match.”

The Thunder Demon God said discontentedly, as he was truly only one step away from attaining the Dao.

This place indeed gathered the power of the two supreme demons, the Space-Time Demon and the Destiny Demon, and previously, he even brought in Thunder Marsh, which contained Pangu’s power.

Thus, with the combined power of three supreme Demon Gods, plus his original strength, once integrated perfectly, it surely could lead him to further sublimation, bringing him closer to the Great Dao.

By then, even if he could not rival Pangu, he would likely be not far off. Afterward, he could devour the Time Storm God and the Space Devil, perfectly recreating the power of the Space-Time Demon.

In this way, the Thunder Demon God was confident he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Pangu. After acquiring power comparable to Pangu, the next steps would become much simpler; he only needed to devour the Prehistoric World to attain the Dao!

“The idea is good, but if you can’t even break the Curse of the Destiny Demon, don’t expect to defeat the Pangu Great God. Moreover, even if your plan succeeds, you might not be a match for the Pangu Great God.”

Jiang Chen acknowledged that the Thunder Demon God’s plan was perfect, almost comparable to his own.

But unfortunately, he chose the wrong enemy. The strength of the Pangu Great God far exceeded imagination and could not be rivaled by the Thunder Demon God just by devouring a few Chaos Demigods.

“Hmph, Pangu is indeed strong, but the Space-Time Demon is not weak. He was able to construct the River of Space-Time in chaos; his power already threaded through existence and non-existence, akin to reincarnation, being both the beginning and the end, nearly omnipotent.”

“If he were to face Pangu, he might not win, but together with the Destiny Demon, at least it would be a draw. Adding me into the equation, we could definitely secure the final victory.”

The Thunder Demon God refused to accept this; he felt Jiang Chen overly mythologized Pangu. He indeed was strong, but not unbeatable.

“Practice is not a simple matter of addition and subtraction, by your calculation, wouldn’t three thousand Chaos Demigods combined be strong?”

“Yet you were still defeated.”

“Moreover, the Space-Time Demon is not as strong as you claim; at least he didn’t reach the level of Reincarnation; otherwise, he wouldn’t have perished.”

“What is Reincarnation? Eternal and indestructible, neither increasing nor decreasing, forever cycling. If the Space-Time Demon truly reached this level, how could he have died from chaos backlash?”

“It’s you who mythologized the Space-Time Demon too much, or perhaps because you haven’t faced Pangu Great God for too long, you’ve lost the sense of his greatness.”

“Thunder Demon God, do you think the current Pangu Great God is still the one who fought with you all those years ago?”

Jiang Chen’s gaze was indescribably profound, like an endless abyss, causing the Thunder Demon God’s mind to tremble at his stare.

“What do you mean?”

The Thunder Demon God asked, puzzled, yet he did not doubt Jiang Chen’s words.

He was after all the Reincarnation Demon; no one in the world understood reincarnation better than him. If he said the Space-Time Demon did not reach the level of Reincarnation, then he certainly did not.

What puzzled him was Jiang Chen’s description of Pangu. Had Pangu undergone some transformation?

After all, since the opening of heaven, they indeed hadn’t seen Pangu again, much less engaged in combat with him. If they didn’t know Pangu wouldn’t fall, they might have thought Pangu was dead.

“You should awaken to reality; do you truly believe the Prehistoric World was only created once? Since the Pangu Great God opened the heavens, the Heaven and Earth of Prehistoric have been born and perished countless times. And you have been reincarnating in this cycle of life and death, completely unaware.”

“With this, you still dare to claim surpassing the Pangu Great God?”

“In fact, countless ages ago, Pangu Great God no longer viewed you as opponents. If he wanted to annihilate you, it would take but a thought, and you wouldn’t even notice.”

Jiang Chen spoke without emotion. Compared to the Chaos Demigods, Pangu Great God was indeed much more benevolent to the creatures of the Prehistoric. At least, the creatures of Prehistoric could barely sense that it had existed more than once.

But the Chaos Demigods were entirely unaware, still believing that it was the first time Pangu Great God opened the heavens and earth.

Precisely because of this, they couldn’t properly recognize the might of the Pangu Great God.

After all, during the first creation of the Prehistoric World, although Pangu Great God was powerful, he did not seem invincible to the Chaos Demigods.

“This is impossible?”

The Thunder Demon God exclaimed. Jiang Chen’s words were revolutionary for him, directly toppling his worldview, nullifying all his efforts.

For according to Jiang Chen, in the eyes of Pangu, all their endeavors were like the childish games, no, not even that, merely like ants moving home.

They were practically a joke, always living under Pangu’s dominion without realizing it.

“Nothing is impossible; the realm in which Pangu Great God resides is very close to omnipotence. Except for not being eternal, he is capable of everything else.”

Jiang Chen told the Thunder Demon God these things to make him understand that Chaos Demigods absolutely could not seek revenge against Pangu Great God.

Rather than being absurdly caught up in a fantasy of vengeance, it would be better to quickly face reality, and willingly embrace the Prehistoric World. This way, there might yet be an opportunity to achieve eternity.

The Chaos Demigods were too powerful; from the start, Jiang Chen never intended to exterminate them all because it wasn’t practical.

They were all immortal and indestructible, and after killing them, it would still be necessary to find ways to prevent them from resurrecting, which would undoubtedly require a great deal of effort.

Rather than that, it would be better to have them willingly merge with Prehistoric, becoming a part of it. This way, the Heaven and Earth of Prehistoric could not only grow stronger but also forge more possibilities, perhaps even facilitating its consumption of Chaos.

Once the Chaos Demigods have willingly merged into the Prehistoric World, the Chaos having lost its guardians, it’s only a matter of time before it is swallowed by the Prehistoric World.

As for whether integrating the Chaos Demigods into the Prehistoric World would lead to conflicts with the native creatures, Jiang Chen expressed indifference. Conflict brings progress; a united front only increases the burden on heaven and earth, detrimental to its transformation.

An appropriate introduction of external adversaries not only could foster internal unity but also could kindle their resolve to strive.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was uninterested in these matters. What he was concerned about was how to elevate the Prehistoric Heaven and Earth to Eternal Heaven and Earth. Allowing the Chaos Demigods to merge into Prehistoric would undoubtedly accelerate the realization of this goal.

For this reason alone, it was worth everything.

Heaven and Earth have their tribulations, and chaos too has its share; without becoming eternal, the strongest existence will ultimately turn into Tribulation Ashes. Even the Pangu Great God is no exception.

Therefore, transforming the Prehistoric into the Eternal World became an imperative act.
