CHAPTER 2030: CHAPTER 322: THE GRAND FINALE (PART 2)

But the next moment, the scene before them left them utterly shocked.

They saw Taiyi using the Chaos Bell to hold Di Jun in place, then transforming himself into a brilliant light that enveloped Di Jun’s body, gradually merging into him.

"Taiyi, stop! Doing this won’t save Di Jun, it will only harm yourself."

Realizing what Taiyi was doing, the Taoist Ancestor immediately intervened.

He didn’t care about Di Jun, but he cared about Taiyi. After all, Taiyi was his only true disciple, and he couldn’t stand by watching him self-destruct.

"As expected, Di Jun’s retribution has arrived."

Watching the scene unfold, a knowing look flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

He knew his scheme had succeeded, and Di Jun was paying the price for his own greed.

It had been said earlier that because Di Jun absorbed too much of the Power of Faith at once, his body had issues, showing signs of being assimilated by the Power of Faith.

Initially, this problem was annoying for Di Jun, but it wasn’t fundamentally threatening. He just needed to patiently sort out the Power of Faith within himself and would eventually regain his self. However, this came with a condition: he must not be disturbed.

Under normal circumstances, during Di Jun’s seclusion, no one could disturb him. The Realm of Light itself was a Supreme World, enough to fend off the invasion of any Chaos Stronger.

Besides, with Taiyi, a powerful guardian in creation, protecting him, who could disturb him amidst such tight defenses?

From the external world, indeed no one disturbed Di Jun, but he couldn’t guard against the enemy within his own body.

The most durable fortress often collapses from the inside, and so it was with Di Jun. He could guard against outsiders but couldn’t prevent the internal enemy within his own body.

The Light Demon, whom he had previously seized, suddenly revived during his critical moment of retreat, beginning to fight him for control of his body.

During that lightless era of Chaos, the Light Demon was indeed among the weakest Chaos Demigods. However, in the Primordial Era, light became an essential element.

As the status of light rose, so did the Light Demon’s power and status, growing increasingly strong, even reaching the point where as long as light existed, he would be undying.

So, even though he was annihilated by Di Jun, with the passage of time, he managed to revive once again.

And because of the Light Demon’s emergence, spurred on, the Power of Faith within Di Jun also transformed, manifesting a new persona.

This was the Light God, a deity born from the fantasies of all beings, fulfilling every imaginations of his followers for light.

Thus, a great battle erupted among Di Jun, the Light God, and the Light Demon, each vying for control over the body.

Among the three, Di Jun was originally the strongest, but he was first struck by the Power of Faith and then ambushed by the Light Demon, suffering critical injuries, leaving him the weakest of the three.

Therefore, shortly after the battle erupted, Di Jun’s situation became precarious.

While Taiyi, who was protecting Di Jun, sensed something was wrong with him, and immediately rushed in, trying to help.

But with Di Jun’s three personas in a fierce battle, even Taiyi was at a loss on how to assist Di Jun.

Seeing Di Jun’s aura weakening rapidly, in desperation, Taiyi indeed thought of a solution.

Di Jun couldn’t defeat the other two personas merely due to a lack of power. As his brother, Taiyi shared the same Original Source.

By sacrificing himself and infusing his Original Source into Di Jun, he could help him conquer the other two personas and restore his self.

Truly earning his title as Di Jun’s good brother, Taiyi, without hesitation, chose to sacrifice himself to fulfill Di Jun.

Of course, Taiyi was an immortal being. Even if he perished now, as long as Di Jun could regain himself, it wouldn’t take long before he could resurrect Taiyi.

With such thoughts in mind, Taiyi took action. He first used the Chaos Bell to secure Di Jun’s body, then transformed into a brilliant light, merging with Di Jun.

Thus unfolded the scene witnessed by Jiang Chen and the Taoist Ancestor.

In some sense, Jiang Chen did play a part in Di Jun’s predicament.

Had it not been for his coercion, would Di Jun have ever absorbed so much Power of Faith at once? Even now, Power of Faith continuously surged towards Di Jun.

The former could still be attributed to Di Jun’s greed. But now, the influx of Power of Faith flooding towards Di Jun was all orchestrated by Jiang Chen.

Take advantage when he’s down, deliver the final blow.

Due to his own greed, Di Jun’s issues emerged. Jiang Chen, finally encountering this opportunity, how could he miss it?

Thus, he subtly aided the situation, expanding Di Jun’s worship during his seclusion, providing him with more faith power, making his problem increasingly severe and leading him to be entirely consumed by the Power of Faith.

Di Jun had always borne a blood feud with the Human Race and continuously schemed against Jiang Chen after his revival. Even if Jiang Chen is exceptionally magnanimous, how could he allow Di Jun to continue living?

Earlier, he refrained from acting against Di Jun only because he still had a use. But now, his value has depleted, thus there was no reason to keep him.

So Jiang Chen slightly manipulated the situation, pushing Di Jun into the Abyss. No matter what, Di Jun also contributed to the Prehistoric World, and Jiang Chen couldn’t just kill him outright.

But if he were assimilated by the Power of Faith and turned into another entity, Jiang Chen then had a reason to kill him.

Such is the current situation.
