Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1777: Dispute Over Immortal World Leadership
Chapter 1777: Dispute Over Immortal World Leadership
Of course, if possible, Taiyi would naturally be unwilling to hand over control of the Immortal World. But the current situation does not allow it; without yielding, today’s matter cannot be resolved amicably.
Since they must hand it over, they would certainly prefer to pass the control of the Immortal World into the hands of their allies.
Not only did Taiyi think this way, but even the Great Divine Transcendents behind him shared the same thought. It would be better to entrust control of part of the Immortal World to the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, rather than let it fall into Jiang Chen’s hands.
"But, with the two saints of Taiqing and Primordial here, everyone should be satisfied and stop suspecting that we are secretly devouring the original source of the Immortal World, right?"
A most sacred figure addressed Jiang Chen with a stern expression. In his view, he and his companions had already compromised, so Jiang Chen ought to take what he could get.
The Thirty-six Heavenly Venerables of Three Realms, a master of a single day, is a strong person at the initial stage of Primordial Chaos. While a realm master, under the blessing of the fate of the Twelve Heavens, can at least elevate one’s strength to the Primordial Chaos 5th Level.
Just because of Jiang Chen’s single remark, they had been forced to relinquish two Dao Fruits at the level of the Primordial Chaos 5th Level. The heartache of the crowd was understandable, and naturally, their gazes towards Jiang Chen were even more filled with hatred.
"With the two saints to guarantee, it is naturally acceptable."
Seeing Taiyi and others already submitting and retreating, everyone, on one hand, did not want to press too hard; on the other, they did not want to offend the saints, so they nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Taiyi and others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their expressions eased up considerably. But just then, Jiang Chen spoke again: "Wait, I still have something to say."
As soon as Jiang Chen opened his mouth, all eyes immediately focused on him.
Some were puzzled, some gloating, while others’ gazes towards Jiang Chen were as sharp as a sword, wanting to make a million holes in him.
"Everything has already been discussed, what more does the Star Lord have to say?"
Taiyi really didn’t want to deal with Jiang Chen, but he couldn’t ignore him completely, so he just glared at Jiang Chen hatefully.
"I’m just a bit puzzled. When the Immortal World was created, the Saint of Taiqing contributed significantly, so it makes sense for him to go to the Immortal World and become a realm master."
"But what about the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign? He didn’t contribute anything when the Immortal World was created, so what virtue or ability allows him to become a realm master?"
"Taiyi, dear friend, isn’t your approach somewhat unfair? Someone who doesn’t know the situation might think that we are joining forces to trouble you and are forcing the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign to become the master of a realm in the Immortal World."
Jiang Chen spoke leisurely, as his purpose had not yet been achieved; how could he just give up like this?
"Star Lord, what exactly do you mean? You might as well speak more clearly."
Taiyi didn’t want to play riddles with Jiang Chen and asked directly, still a bit angry. Wasn’t Jiang Chen right? It was because you joined forces to apply pressure that they had to back down and give up two realm master positions to the Saint of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.
Everything has already been done, and now you start playing the noble? This kind of attitude is truly contemptible.
"What I mean is that although your opinions, as the creators of the Immortal World, are important, you cannot decide the future of the Immortal World on your own."
"The future ruler of the Immortal World is not for you to decide alone; you also need to take into account everyone’s opinions and make decisions together with the people."
With a smile, Jiang Chen spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
"Star Lord, you’re pushing this too far!"
Jiang Chen’s intent was too obvious, and Taiyi and others could not hold back and were ready to turn hostile.
In an instant, hundreds of Great Divine Transcendents stepped forward, their eyes coldly fixed on him, ready to attack at the slightest disagreement.
But Jiang Chen remained unfazed. Though he stayed still, the Great Divine Transcendents who had accompanied him, seeing Taiyi and the others on the verge of making a move, instinctively closed in on Jiang Chen to share the pressure.
Altogether, there were nearly a thousand Great Divine Transcendents on both sides. If they were to fight, it is feared that nothing would be left of the entire Prehistoric World.
Seeing the situation growing tenser, the powerful figures who came to watch the commotion couldn’t help but be vexed. They couldn’t let them fight; otherwise, everything would be lost.
At this critical moment, the Saint of Taiqing stepped forward to mediate: "Everyone, let’s take a step back. Since the Primordial doesn’t fit, we can simply choose another candidate. There’s no need to hurt harmony over such a trivial matter."
If possible, the Saint of Taiqing truly wished the two sides would fight to the death. That way, the Chaos World would completely belong to their brothers.
Unfortunately, as the senior brother and acting sect master of the Mystic Sect, the Saint of Taiqing had no reason not to intervene when seeing an imminent internal conflict in the Mystic Sect.
"Alright, today we will do the Saint of Taiqing a favor."
Taiyi, who was originally filled with anger, stepped back directly after hearing the words of the Saint of Taiqing.
He now regretted being too impulsive just a moment ago. Given the proximity of this place to the Immortal World, if they really started fighting, regardless of the outcome, the Immortal World would surely be lost.
Therefore, under any circumstances, he must restrain himself and absolutely avoid clashing with the other party. Otherwise, billions of years of preparation and planning would immediately be reduced to nothing by his impulsive actions.
And now, Taiyi vaguely understood why Jiang Chen was so fearless. If he were in Jiang Chen’s place, he would act just as arrogantly. If it were in the Nine States, Taiyi could guarantee that he would be even more arrogant than Jiang Chen.
