Chapter 1674: 1087 Di Jun has an enemy
Even now, many people still suspect that Jiang Chen might actually be so Great Divine Transcendent taking on a new identity, which is why he seems so unique.
Even Great Divine Transcendents can refine avatars and create alter egos, so it stands to reason that Saints, who are stronger than Great Divine Transcendents, could easily achieve this as well.
Thus, Jiang Chen suspected that this mysterious Great Divine Transcendent before him was actually an avatar of a Saint; otherwise, how could he inspire a feeling of facing a Saint directly?
After all, in this era where everyone is donning alternate identities, it would indeed be unusual for a Saint not to have avatars.
“Incense-derived Willpower is not as pure as the Power of Faith. After all, incense revolves around desires. Where there are desires, there must be responses; only then can Willpower be fully refined.”
“The Power of Faith, however, is different. It involves complete self-abandonnt, where believers are even willing to sacrifice themselves. As such, their thoughts are exceedingly pure.”
While curious about the identity of this Great Divine Transcendent, Jiang Chen nonetheless replied truthfully. Even if he didn’t speak, with enough ti, through deductions and analyses, others could figure out most of the truth.
Given that, why should he conceal anything? Instead, being upfront and clarifying the differences might win him goodwill from the crowd.
“The Power of Faith is so domineering—surely it must co with a price?”
One of the Great Divine Transcendents murmured, seemingly doubtful that the Power of Faith could be so potent without any drawbacks.
“It thrives on the believers and falters because of the believers.”
“The more fervent the faith now, the stronger the backlash will be in the future. In my view, the weakness of the Power of Faith lies precisely in the believers themselves. Once they awaken to their own self-awareness, it will signal the collapse of the foundation of faith.”
Even before Jiang Chen could respond, another Great Divine Transcendent had detected the vulnerability of the Power of Faith. No matter how formidable a power looked, if it wasn’t cultivated by oneself, it invariably carried significant weaknesses.
The sa holds true for Incense-derived Willpower as it does for the Power of Faith.
“This isn’t the path to transcendence. To achieve Tao through faith, one must lead their believers to transcendence alongside them. Such a thod is unlikely to achieve ultimate transcendence.”
Another Great Divine Transcendent spoke up, revealing the inherent nature of the “Faith Path.”
Initially, several Great Divine Transcendents were intrigued by the Power of Faith, but as his voice fell, their curiosity dissipated, replaced by indifference.
Their cultivation was all in pursuit of transcendence. If transcendence weren’t achievable, then what would be the point of cultivating the Tao? Had they not sought transcendence, these Great Divine Transcendents could have long devised other thods to reach the Primordial Realm.
After all, the difficulty of the Primordial Realm does not lie in achieving self-perfection but in how to transcend Heaven and Earth.
“Regardless, the Power of Faith is indeed impressive. In the vast emptiness, below the Taoist Master level, who could traverse it? And yet, the strongest being among the living creatures of this continent is rely at the Golden Immortal level, yet they can safely cross the endless void.”
“Isn’t the accumulation of many years of Power of Faith precisely what enables them to do so? The Power of Faith weaves a protective net that envelops the entire continent, guarding against the dangers in the void, allowing them to safely reach the Prehistoric World.”
No matter their private thoughts, everyone present acknowledged the potency of the Power of Faith. This energy was indeed mystifying, far surpassing Incense-derived Willpower, though still unable to match the Aspiration of all beings.
The Power of Faith might be purer, but it is precisely this excessive purity that makes it inferior to the Aspiration of all beings. For within the Aspiration of all beings lies the heartfelt desires and thoughts of the living creatures.
It is these desires that make the Aspiration of all beings less pure, yet it is also these very desires that imbue it with unparalleled strength.
The Aspiration of all beings thrives on the living creatures;
The Power of Faith transcends Willpower. The two are fundantally different.
“Has anyone noticed sothing peculiar? The Power of Faith in this place isn’t insignificant. By all rights, Di Jun should have taken it long ago, but why hasn’t he acted?”
One Great Divine Transcendent, puzzled, posed this question to their fellow Taoists nearby.
“Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t happen. But from my observation, the statues on this continent, though retaining their forms, lack their divine presence—they seem to have severed their connection to Di Jun long ago.”
“In other words, the living creatures here have already lost connection with their god, and that’s precisely why Di Jun hasn’t harvested the Power of Faith from this place.”
Jiang Chen provided the answer, resolving the doubt.
“Di Jun might have long since been resurrected, but his current situation is likely unfavorable. He might be facing formidable enemies; otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed his followers to lose contact with him.”
From a re fragnt, one could infer the bigger picture. Although Di Jun hadn’t directly appeared before them, this broken continent was enough for them to deduce substantial information about him.
“The truth is likely as such. Judging by this fragnt, it must have separated from a larger landmass, most likely shattered by soone.”
“If Di Jun didn’t have a formidable foe, how could it co to this?”
While speaking, a Great Divine Transcendent employed Divine Ability, beginning to trace the history of this fragnted continent. They sought answers about where this piece of Cang Mountain had fallen, how the living creatures on it had co to be, and what their connection to Di Jun had been.
A Great Divine Transcendent moved into action, and naturally, their thods were extraordinary. It wasn’t long before a faint River of Ti and Space spread from the void, coursing across the fractured land.
This was the River of Ti and Space unique to this land, recording everything from the birth of the continent to its present state.
