Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1314: After today, I will become a legend
Chapter 1314: After today, I will become a legend
"In the boundless starry sky, one of the very foundations of the Prehistoric World, just like that it was destroyed. No wonder the Prehistoric World became weaker by the day."
The sight before him was deeply melancholic for Jiang Chen.
As the Cycle of Stars turned, they could incessantly transform Chaos Qi from Chaos itself, replenishing the loss within Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, as long as the boundless starry sky existed, there were no mere mortal things to be found between Heaven and Earth. Even those reputed as the weakest, the Human Race, were born with Innate strength, true Cultivators in every right.
But later on, as the boundless starry sky shattered and no longer could the Cycle of Stars transform Chaos Qi from Chaos to replenish Heaven and Earth’s loss, Spiritual Energy of the world naturally thinned, and the greater environment changed accordingly.
All people say that the reason the Prehistoric World transitioned from the Innate era to the Acquired one was due to the Taoist Ancestors punishing all creation. But who knows, the Taoist Ancestors were also driven to do this out of helplessness.
If he did not turn Innate Spiritual Energy into Acquired Spiritual Energy, the consumption of the world would increase by the day; the Original Source would eventually dry up due to the Cultivators, resulting in the Age of Dharma Decline for Heaven and Earth.
On the contrary, once Innate Spiritual Energy became Acquired Spiritual Energy, although its quality decreased, the quantity increased substantially, barely maintaining the normal consumption of Heaven and Earth.
Under the circumstance of limited resources, in order to keep the Prehistoric World running, it was simply about tapping into new sources and conserving existing ones. Converting Innate to Acquired was just a way of conservation. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Similarly, living beings becoming weaker was also a method of conservation. When most extraordinary creatures regressed to Mortals, the pressure on Heaven and Earth naturally decreased.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the increasing number of Mortals between Heaven and Earth was related to the destruction of the boundless starry sky.
Had the boundless starry sky not been destroyed, all the myriad spirits of Heaven and Earth would have been exceptional from birth; where then would the notion of birth, aging, sickness and death come from?
Remember the Ancient Era when the boundless starry sky was still there. Did one see Mortals between Heaven and Earth?
And furthermore, everyone says that a day in Heaven is a year on Earth, but who knows that a day in the Ancient Era was equivalent to a year now?
What this saying means is that a day in the Ancient Era was as long as a year is now.
And ever since the Ancient Era, this change kept shortening, until the end of Ancient Times. Except for the time realm of Heaven, which still synchronized with the Great Ancient, the rest of the places fixed time as it is now.
There was no division between day and night in the Ancient Era; Sun and Moon shared the sky; that is to say, there was no such unit as a day in the Ancient Era, only the year.
And as the Cycle of Stars turned about the Prehistoric Chaos World, it marked one year, and that’s how time was measured.
But after the Ancient Era, with the Cycle of Stars shattered and no points of reference left, the timing in the Prehistoric World became confused.
The rising and setting of the sun, the cycle of Yin and Yang, were all redefined by the sages of the Human Race after the Ancient Era.
Not until the Investiture of the Gods concluded and the Cycle of Celestial Beings was perfected, taking the place of the Cycle of Stars, was the timeline of the Three Realms reestablished.
The shattering of the Cycle of Stars had such a profound effect on the Prehistoric World that even time itself, a fundamental aspect of Heaven and Earth, was thrown into chaos.
Of course, it was also thanks to this that the later rise of the Human Race was forged. The greatest deed of the Human Race was not their strength dominating all clans but rebuilding order from the ruins.
The original order of Heaven and Earth had been disrupted by the Witch and Demon Clans, and it was the Human Race that reestablished order, bringing the Prehistoric World back on track. Because of this, the Human Race became the protagonist of Heaven and Earth by virtue of reordering the world.
To become the protagonist of Heaven and Earth having strength alone is not sufficient. One must contribute to Heaven and Earth, and only then can one gain recognition from the Heavenly Dao.

"Rebuild order!"
"The prosperity of the Human Race began with the merit of rebuilding order. For the Human Race to become the strongest, they must go one step further based on this foundation, that is, reshaping Heaven and Earth."
Jiang Chen now understood why the development of the Human Race had slowly reached its limit. The benefits bestowed upon the Human Race for the merit of rebuilding order had reached the limit.
Thus, for people to become stronger, they must accomplish greater feats. Just like how in the past, why Di Jun insisted on attacking the Demon Clan.
It was not that he had to fight, but that he had no choice but to fight. The development of the Demon Clan had reached its limit, and the merits of establishing the Heaven Court could only support the Demon Clan’s development to this point.
To become stronger, they must achieve even greater merits, to unify the entire Prehistoric World.
The path of the Demon Clan, from the moment they established the Heaven Court, was destined. To reach the peak, they would have to unify the entire Prehistoric World.
As for the Human Race, the path was also determined at the moment the sages rebuilt order. To reach the apex, they inevitably had to reshape Heaven and Earth.
When the Prehistoric World returns to its former glory, the Human Race will too ascend to the most revered throne.
"Reshaping the boundless starry sky is the beginning of my path to Dao, and the first step for the Human Race to become the master of Heaven and Earth."
"As of today, the Demon Clan will become history. Within the boundless starry sky, there will be imprinted the indelible marks of me, and the Human Race."
Taking slow steps, Jiang Chen arrived at the very center of the boundless starry sky, which is also the location of the Purple Mist Star, as well as the highest point between Heaven and Earth. So high that advancing even a fraction more would mean leaving the Three Realms, entering the domain of Chaos beyond.
This place is known to all as the Middle Heaven!
In that Great Ancient, the Jun Heaven situated at the center of the Nine Heavens, was located directly below the Purple Mist Star. To be more precise, Di Jun, Tiandi of the Great Ancient, he reigned over Heaven and Earth from directly below the Purple Mist Star.
This is why many Great Divine Transcendents do not pay homage to the Jade Emperor; they do not consider him legitimate. The reason lies here. The newly built Heavenly Realm is not at the center of the boundless starry sky but rather above the human world.
