Chapter 1416 - Divine Soul
After Jiang Chen had spent a great deal of effort to decipher the painting on the wall, his expression changed drastically, while indescribable feelings welled up in his heart.
It seemed as if his eyes were able to penetrate the painting and watch scenes as they were really occurring.
The Ascending Heaven Tower broke apart, and he could now see far and wide. He was floating among the clouds, overlooking the world.
As Jiang Chen raised his head, he discovered in surprise that he was wearing a formidable divine armor, and a heavy spear had appeared in his hand.
The spear’s shiny head reflected his appearance like a mirror. He was glowing with spirit and possessed an heroic look.
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen detected something and turned his head. There were 100,000 divine soldiers and divine generals floating among the boundless clouds behind him also holding spears. They all wore solemn expressions.
When Jiang Chen’s gaze met their gazes, he could feel great zealotry from them.
“The eighth floor? His divine soul must have awakened.”
As Yue’e stood among those people, she seemed like a crane in a flock of chickens, and the disparity between them was as great as the disparity between an immortal and a mortal.
The scene witnessed by Jiang Chen on the eighth floor changed once again, and this time it was even more shocking. The sky was dusky with no daylight, while all the lands were engulfed by the flames of war. All lands before his eyes were ravaged, and many irreversible cracks appeared on walls.
Jiang Chen was standing atop a mountain’s peak, and many corpses were lying at his feet. They had died long before, and their bodies still emitted a terrifying aura. One didn’t need to ponder much over this matter to discern that they had been people of great power when they were still alive.
Blood was flowing ceaselessly from his spear, and it was also the case for his divine armor. Some of the blood belonged to him, while some of it belonged to other people.
At this moment, Jiang Chen found an answer to all his questions. He had gotten the Invincible God of War’s title in the Three Middle Realms, and, in the ancient era, he was also the strongest War God, who had never suffered a defeat.
His mother was a Heavenly Goddess, while his father was the reincarnation of the Golden-Pupils Wielder, which meant that he was just a mortal. He was the fruit of the bonding of a god and a mortal, meaning he was half-human and half-god.
He hadn’t been recognized by anyone since he was born, while his mother had been imprisoned by the divine king, and he had only been able to rely upon his father to survive.
Growing up, he had managed to possess peerless martial prowess because he was half-human and half-god, and he practiced many marvelous techniques. He had entered the Heavenly Palace and run amok in it. He had fought until both Gods and Buddhas alike shivered with fear, and he had saved his mother.
At that time, Heavenly Gods were divided into Doctrine and Buddhist Camps. But they cooperated with each other and lived in harmony.
However, after a long time elapsed, conflicts broke out between them. As people with hidden agendas variously instigated them, a great war broke out between the Heavenly Gods, and the outcome of the war was the Xuanhuan Realm’s destruction.
The Gods and Buddhas ran away in a panic, but he wasn’t willing to abandon the world’s living beings, and he strove hard to save the Xuanhuan Realm. This was why he had escaped into the Reincarnation Cycle.
Jiang Chen let out a long breath and closed his eyes. By the time he opened them once again, he was back in the Ascending Heaven Tower.
“I’m just me.”
As these words echoed, the stairs leading upstairs appeared for the first time, and Jiang Chen proceeded toward them calmly. His gaze was so profound that it seemed as if it encompassed the whole galaxy.
Jiang Chen didn’t have a Sovereign Spirit, but he had a divine soul, and he had finally gotten to experience what the Sovereign Spirit’s reincarnators felt upon awakening.
Three lives’ memory wouldn’t turn him into someone else. It would just help him find his true self.
There wasn’t any distinction between them, and it didn’t matter whether they were good or bad lives, or whether the previous selves were good or vile people.
“I’m just me! ”
However, people would in most cases resemble their last life’s self, and Jiang Chen, whose divine soul had awakened, got to understand many matters. But he still wasn’t affected greatly.
