Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1313: Eight Nine Seven Divine Dao!_2

"Transforming Xianyang City a little would turn it into a divine artifact whose power can rival that of Great Divine Transcendents, no less impressive than the innate Cycle Star Array Divine Palace."

"However, when Emperor Qin constructed Xianyang City, he used fragments of the Cycle stars as the core, harnessing the starlight they emitted as the power source to maintain the operation of the entire city."

"If I were to remove the fragments of the Cycle stars, then Xianyang City would almost be considered ruined."

In the command center of Xianyang City, Jiang Chen was constantly deciphering the structure of the city.

Xianyang City is large and strong, and maintaining the operation of such a divine city requires an extremely vast amount of power. The power of a divine artifact comes from the world within it. But since there is no Great Thousand Worlds within Xianyang City, from whence does its power originate?

The answer lies in these fragments of the Cycle stars.

Emperor Qin scoured heaven and earth and managed to gather three hundred and sixty fragments of the Cycle stars from the Great Ancient era. He then used supreme magic power to refine them into star cores, reconstructing the Cycle Star Array.

Thus, with the rotation of the stars, not only did they release a vast amount of star power, but they also drew Chaos power from Chaos itself, enhancing their own capabilities.

It is precisely for this reason that Xianyang City has an endless source of power and can unleash force powerful enough to contend with Great Divine Transcendents.

The entire Xianyang City is founded on these fragments of the Cycle stars; once they are removed, the city would be largely ruined.

"The matter of advancing to the Cycle Divine Palace cannot be delayed, even if it means the ruination of Xianyang City is of no concern. However, Xianyang City may not necessarily be ruined."

"After the completion of the Cycle Divine Palace, it won’t be long before it merges with the Boundless Starry Sky. By then, I will have only four artifacts left in my hand: Chaos Divine Palace, Boundless Bowl, Eight-Tribe Pagoda, and Cold Prison!"

"Chaos Divine Palace stands in the Eastern Sea, now the largest market there, bringing me an enormous fortune every day, as well as many messages. Therefore, Chaos Divine Palace cannot be touched."

"As for the Boundless Bowl and Eight-Tribe Pagoda, these are treasured relics of the Buddhist door, one managing Xiniuhe Continent for me, and the other presiding over Spiritual Mountain, also untouchable."

"Cold Prison presides over Tang Valley, facing the Chaos Divine Palace, and cannot be moved."

"After all calculations, without the Cycle Divine Palace, I unexpectedly find myself without a suitable divine artifact to wield, which is unacceptable. How can the progenitor of Divine Dao not have a divine artifact?"

"Even though Xianyang City would lose the fragments of the Cycle stars, its foundation remains intact, with the potential to become a Primordial Chaos divine artifact. Moreover, the Human Race also needs a divine city as its hub to consolidate hearts and suppress Fate."

Jiang Chen evaluated his own worth and made plans for the future of Xianyang City. Using it as the base, he planned to reshape it into a world-covering divine city to replace the Cycle Divine Palace.

This newly constructed divine city would be the future Imperial City of the Human Race, the center of human power, and the premier divine city on the land.

Not only that, if there were an opportunity in the future, Jiang Chen would also refine Fengdu City in the Netherworld with Divine Dao power, eventually making it the first city of the Netherworld.

With this in place, he would have the Cycle Divine Palace in the heavens, the Human Race Imperial City on land, and Fengdu Ghost City below. This trinity would allow him to suppress the Three Realms and gather supreme Fate.

If he could actually accomplish this, Jiang Chen felt that if he were to seize the Fate of Heaven Court, it should not be difficult; he could effortlessly take away the Fate of Heaven Court, even the authority of Tiandi.

By then, transforming the Cycle Divine Palace into Heaven Court, he would become the true master of Heaven and Earth, ruling the Three Realms, commanding life and death, and governing myriad tribes.

"This method is also feasible, splitting the ascent to Tiandi into three steps: first occupying the Boundless Starry Sky, then seizing the Netherworld, and finally governing the prehistorical land. As long as these three steps are achieved, what is missing to become Tiandi is merely a title."

Suddenly, Jiang Chen felt that he was treading the old path of Di Jun. The path to becoming emperor that Emperor Lord had set for himself was quite similar to his own.

Starting with the Boundless Starry Sky as the base, he worked hard to grow his own power, then went on to campaign against the Witch Clan, seizing the land of Chaos. After occupying the land, he would continue to dispatch forces to the Netherworld.

As long as he could capture the Netherworld, his Dao Fruit of Tiandi would be perfected, achieving an unprecedented feat. Not only would he achieve Dao by Fate, but he would also become the most powerful existence between Heaven and Earth.

Everyone says that those who achieve the Dao through strength are the strongest, but that’s not the case. The truly mightiest ones should be those who achieve the Dao through fate.

To unite the Prehistoric World and to absorb the Heavenly Earthly Origin into oneself, not to seek the Dao would be enough, but once one sought it, one became invincible in the Prehistoric World. Because what they achieved was not the realm of Primordial Chaos, but the Limitless Dao Realm that transcended this realm.

"Di Jun’s ambition was great, but unfortunately, his luck was poor, for he encountered a stronger Witch Clan. Thus, his plans fell short, and he failed to see them come to fruition before his death."

"However, I must thank him. If he had not led the Demon Clan and Witch Clan to mutual destruction, shattering the entire heaven and earth, I wouldn’t have had an environment suitable for me to achieve the Dao."

Indeed, Jiang Chen really had to thank the Witch and Demon Clans. His Tao was meant to be found in reshaping heaven and earth, and if the Witch and Demon Clans hadn’t shattered the world, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to reshape it.

It was the Witch and Demon Clans who destroyed the Chaos World, giving Jiang Chen the opportunity to achieve the Dao. Otherwise, with the Boundless Starry Sky intact, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have had the chance to intervene. Precisely because it was in fragments, Jiang Chen had the chance to take control.

"To thank you, let me repair this heaven and earth that you shattered, to atone for the sins you’ve committed."

Jiang Chen reached out his hand toward the starry sky above Xianyang city.

In a mere instant, the stars above began to revolve and shrink, soon turning into a small Star Whirlpool, about the size of a fist, which Jiang Chen clutched in the palm of his hand.

As the starry sky vanished, a profound Void Passage appeared in its place on earth.

"A passage to the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds?"

Jiang Chen knew the origin of this Void Passage—it was left intentionally by the First Emperor, who had set this path for his subjects.

When the First Emperor suddenly fell, various forces attacked simultaneously and broke into Xianyang city, trying to seize the treasures he left behind. It was then that Xianyang city vanished without a trace, and the immortals and gods who stormed in were all trapped within, perishing at the hands of Martial Dao puppets.

But the disappearance of Xianyang city didn’t just trap the invaders; it also trapped his subjects and family members. And this Void Passage was what the First Emperor had prepared for them so that they could travel from here to the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

The First Emperor had long anticipated his own end, so he had made arrangements early on, leaving a fallback in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds specifically for resettling his subordinates and family.

As for why he didn’t let them continue to stay in the Three Realms, Jiang Chen could probably guess the reason. It was likely because he feared these people would not be content and would use his remaining foundation to continue competing for supremacy.

The First Emperor deeply understood this, as in his previous life, he had a son who nearly ruined his lifetime reputation.

Xia Qi, the son of Yu the Great, brazenly broke the rules, abolished the abdication system, and converted the publicly-owned world into the family-owned one, establishing the Xia Dynasty.

This had a profound impact on Yu the Great. In later generations, many people revered him as "King" rather than "Emperor" because of this incident. Part of his Imperial fate was absorbed by the Xia Dynasty, resulting in an incomplete Imperial Dao.

"Leaving might be for the best; otherwise, it would be another troublesome affair."

Jiang Chen shook his head, offering no judgment on the First Emperor’s family troubles. The chaos of the Ji Family began with Xia Qi. After him, the descendants of Xuanyuan vied for the title of sovereign not through virtue, but through force.

"Let’s go!"

With a flicker of his figure, Jiang Chen disappeared from his spot and appeared in the devastated Boundless Starry Sky.

From the ground looking up, the starry sky was beautiful, speckled with stars, profound and vast, and utterly mysterious.

But once one truly arrived in the Boundless Starry Sky, one would realize that it was not as one might think; instead of beauty, it was full of danger.

The broken stars, the bloodstained wreckage, the bloodstains that remained moist to this day, as well as the destructive waves rampaging across the starry sky, and the undying aftereffects of Divine Abilities, all heralded that an unprecedented great war had once taken place here.
