Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1368 - 925 Ancient Times Clan Plan_2

If you betray your clan, you’re finished; even after death, your name will stink for ten thousand years.

"Is he Emperor Jiuchen of Shenxiao?"

"But isn’t he a god? How could he become the Human King?"

"Moreover, every Human King in history has been a figure of great renown, all have made countless contributions to our Human Race and have left behind numerous legends in the historical records."

"If the Emperor Lord is the Human King, then what accomplishments has he made for our Human Race? Is it expanding territory or governing the world in peace?"

"What legends about him have been left in history? Or perhaps, is he the incarnation of some sage from the Human Race?"

At this moment, Cai Zhaoji turned into a questioning young girl, bombarding Cai Yong with questions.

If you’re to be the Human King, it can’t be that you’re unknown; at the very least, in the history of the Human Race, you must have left a profound mark with achievements difficult for later generations to surpass. Otherwise, how could you be the Human King?

"This..."

"This your husband does not know, as your father, I am but a mortal, with a body of flesh, how could I see through the disguise of such a great person to discern if he is the Human King? It was because he revealed himself. As for his background, how would I know if he doesn’t tell me?"

"Perhaps, as you said, he may well be the incarnation of some sage from the Human Race."

Jiang Chen’s deeds were only known among the Immortals; mortals knew little about it. Therefore, how could Cai Yong know Jiang Chen’s background, what he had done, how he became the Human King, or when he was born? He knew nothing at all.

Between mortals and Immortal Persons, there is an invisible veil; Immortal Persons can see the world of mortals, but mortals cannot see the world of Immortal Persons.

"Don’t inquire about these matters. Being a person of great stature like the Human King, with a cultivation that reaches the heavens and pierces the earth, if you mention him behind his back, he might sense it."

Seeing his daughter about to say more, Cai Yong glared at her irritably. Then he walked out of the room, heading towards the gatehouse.

Since Jiang Chen personally instructed him to take Amitabha Buddha as a disciple, how could he not take it to heart? Now, going to the gatehouse was to receive Amitabha Buddha’s letter of introduction and see how his writing was.

...

...

High above in the heavens, Jiang Chen stood there, silently gazing upon the boundless Nine States Continent.

In his eyes, various strands of fate rose and fell across the Nine States, representing different powers, both large and small, all unstable factors.

Those lesser powers need not be mentioned; they don’t make any difference and are of no concern. Among the greater powers, the strongest were not the Dao of Great Peace but the Ancient Clans that had just moved to the Nine States.

These Ancient Clans, each prouder than the last, not even entirely submissive to the rule of the Human King, let alone the mortal emperors. Even if the Nine States faced no upheaval, after their move to the Nine States, they would covertly cause trouble and overthrow the rule of the Great Han.

Of course, their intention to overthrow the rule of the Great Han didn’t include any desire to declare themselves emperor. As emperors could not live forever, why would they sacrifice their long lifespans to chase a transient throne in the mortal realm?

What these Ancient Clans sought was merely a return to the Distant Ancient Era, a time of autonomous tribal governance. As for the emperor, he could also be chosen collectively as a sovereign, just as in ancient times.

Simply put, they wanted to recreate the environment of the distant past and then, with the combined strength of all the great clans, elect a new Human King.

The sovereign rulers from the Distant Ancient Era were all Human Kings and were the strongest among them, such as Ge Tianshi, the leaders of the Feng Clan, the rulers of the Jiang lineage, the leaders of the Youxiong Clan, and so on.

Not only were the sovereigns Human Kings, but the leaders of those great tribes could also be regarded as Human Kings, such as the chiefs of the Feng Clan, the Jiang lineage, the Youxiong Clan, and others.

Shaodian, the father of Xuanyuan, the Human King, was the Human King of the Land Emperor era and the lord of the Youxiong Clan.

Because of Jiang Chen, these Ancient Clans that emerged from the Ancestral Land recalled the might of the Human King. And then, they hatched a plan to create a new Human King.

"You think you’re so mighty, Jiang Chen?" "Then I’ll just create another Human King to battle you in the arena."

But now, the environment is no longer suitable for the birth of a human king, so what do we do? That’s no problem, not a problem at all, if the environment is unsuitable, then we just transform it into a suitable one, don’t we?

Taking advantage of the upheaval in the Nine States, these Ancient Clans began to stir trouble in secret, preparing to seize the opportunity to overturn the rule of Great Han and return the Nine States to the primeval era.

At that time, the major clans joined forces to focus the scattered fate into a single force, which would surely bring about the birth of another Human King.

After all, there’s no rule that only one Human King can be born in an era; if the Human Race’s fate is strong enough, then it is entirely possible for an era of multiple kings to emerge.

Looking back to the past, during the reign of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there were numerous Human Kings within the Human Race. At one time, there were even over a dozen Human Kings coexisting, silencing Heaven and Earth, with no one daring to challenge the Human Race.

"Create another Human King?"

"No, their plans don’t stop there; they’re also scheming to claim the Dao Fruit of the Great Divine Transcendents nurtured within the Nine States."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh when he saw their plans. How could these Ancient Clans’ schemes escape his perception?

Sending the Nine States back to the Distant Ancient Era and using the power of the major clans to create a Human King was just the beginning. Next, they would support this Human King in a struggle against Jiang Chen for fate, to pluck the Dao Fruit of the Great Divine Transcendents nurtured within the original source of the Nine States.

"Fools know no fear!"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but shake his head; these Ancient Clans would be disappointed if they truly believed that a Human King could be created just by having enough fate.

Fate is important, but it’s not key to the birth of a Human King. It takes more than fate; it requires a broad-minded concern for the Human Race.

Only with both these conditions can one resonate with the fate of the Human Race, giving rise to the Dao Fruit of a Human King and ascending to the throne.

Suppose these Ancient Clans were successful, and the Nine States returned to the primeval era. If they didn’t elect a Human King, that would be one thing, but if they did, he certainly wouldn’t be wholeheartedly on their side, opposing Jiang Chen at every turn.

He would choose to join hands with Jiang Chen, pushing the Human Race to unprecedented heights.

How could these people of the Ancient Clans understand the thoughts of a Human King? They lacked such magnanimity; their hearts had already fallen, and for their own interests, they would sacrifice the welfare of the Human Race.

"Just like the current scholars, these Ancient Clans have already decayed, all of them nothing but a bunch of short-sighted scavengers, not even worth mentioning."

Jiang Chen merely glanced at these Ancient Clans and then withdrew his gaze, knowing that however sophisticated their plans might be, they’re as good as chicken and dogs before absolute power.

Take now, for instance, Jiang Chen decided to cut the chaos with a swift stroke, directly attacking the Emperor and the civil and military officials to quickly quell the unrest in the Nine States, an act surely beyond everyone’s expectations, and definitely catching them off guard.

By directly extinguishing the cause of the unrest at its source, Jiang Chen made it difficult for them to revolt again.

After all, if they were to revolt before Jiang Chen took action, it would be considered a rebellion against Great Han. But once Jiang Chen intervened, exterminating Great Han and usurping the throne, any subsequent rebellion would be against Jiang Chen.

The former is a rebellion against the Emperor, a change of dynasty, but rebelling against a Human King? That would be treason against the Race.

Of course, that wasn’t the most important point. The Emperor would be powerless against them, even if he saw them as rebels; he couldn’t do anything in his rage.

But Jiang Chen was different; he could squash the rebels with the back of his hand.

Whatever plans these Ancient Clans might have, as long as Jiang Chen controlled the situation, they could only bury their thoughts deep down, daring not to reveal a trace.

Returning to the primeval era, creating a new Human King, they should just try and see if Jiang Chen wouldn’t dare to put them to death.

That’s inertia in thinking. Since the birth of the Human Race, there’s been no case of directly killing the Emperor to appease public anger, unheard of.
