I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 389: Secrets Of The Celestial World, Shen Tian’s Idea

“Tian’er, step back.”

The Divine Firmament Sword Leader’s body trembled as he slowly walked in front of Shen Tian. He faced the Golden Crow Thearch’s projection head-on with his sword beam.

“You old bird, if you dare to touch my Martial Nephew, I will stab you to death!”

Golden light flickered within Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ body. The two figures were ready to charge out at any moment.

This was the supreme secret technique of the Three Pure Ones in One Breath. It could allow Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’ combat strength to instantly soar to a level that surpassed his limits.

At that moment, none of them took half a step back.

The pressure of a Thearch was clearly not something an ordinary Sage could withstand.

Although the Golden Crow Thearch only had a wisp of his soul left, he was not an ordinary Thearch either. He was a great Thearch who had ascended to the Celestial World 80,000 years ago.

No one knew how terrifying his cultivation had become after his ascension to the Celestial World 80,000 years ago.

But it was clear that his cultivation would not remain stagnant for 80,000 years.

Therefore, even if it was just a wisp of the Golden Crow Thearch’s soul, it was not something a mere Sage could measure up to.

If they were completely rational, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus would not have stood in front of the Golden Crow Thearch and gone against him.

This was because fighting against such an opponent was no longer a situation in which one still had a small chance of surviving.

Instead, it meant certain death. It was simply a situation where they would definitely die.

However, they still walked out resolutely and stood in front of Shen Tian without hesitation.

This was because they firmly believed that Shen Tian was the future of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. He was the Son of Providence that would lead the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to a new peak.

That was because they firmly believed that even if ten of them died for a single Shen Tian, they would still profit from it.

That was because they firmly believed that the Golden Crow Thearch would not attack.

…

Cough, cough. Yes, they firmly believed that the Golden Crow Thearch would not attack.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus’s ears and heads were fine, so they naturally heard what the Golden Crow Thearch had said.

He had said, “I wanted to borrow Shen Tian’s body to live a second life. I thought that only I would be able to reverse the calamity.”

What did he mean by ‘I wanted to’ and ‘I thought’? It meant that he didn’t think that way anymore!

Furthermore, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus did not sense any hostility or killing intent from the Golden Crow Thearch.

Not to mention that a super bigshot from the Celestial World was hidden in Shen Tian!

They were both remnant souls. Why would they be afraid?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus felt that there was a high chance that even their godfather would be able to fight the Golden Crow Thearch.

After all, the old man had been developing and recovering in the five regions for so many years. No one knew how many trump cards he had or how strong he was.

Since that was the case, they might as well make use of this opportunity to show off their ‘benevolence’ and fiercely increase Shen Tian’s favorability.

Yes, Tian’er must be so touched that his eyes are brimming with tears!

I am simply too quick-witted!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus exchanged looks and nodded secretly.

Yeap, they were still the same from the past!

…

“Master, Martial Uncle, I think you have misunderstood.”

Shen Tian gently poked both of their shoulders. “Senior said that he had originally wanted to possess me, but he probably doesn’t have such thoughts now, right?”

Shen Tian then turned to the Golden Crow Thearch. “Senior, Master, and Martial Uncle were too concerned and have offended you. Please forgive us!”

Hehe!

The Golden Crow Thearch looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus with a faint smile, causing the latter to feel goosebumps.

After a long while, the Golden Crow Thearch said calmly, “You’re neither arrogant nor impetuous. You’re still so rational when facing me. You’re quite remarkable, young friend.

“That’s right. I’ve been trying to prove my Dao for 80,000 years. I don’t want to hide it.”

“Since I have agreed to give you my Immortal Abode Island, I might as well tell you the truth about this tomb.”

The Golden Crow Thearch sighed softly. “Do you all know that every 10,000 years, the five regions will be invaded by the evil beings of the outerworld?

“It’s just that every time the Evil Spirits attempted to invade, they would be intercepted by the Thearchs of the various eras, and thus they had never broken into our realm.”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded slowly. “Junior knows of this. There were no Thearchs in the five regions 10,000 ago. The evil beings from the outerworld successfully broke through into the five regions and created an unprecedented calamity.”

The Golden Crow Thearch nodded slowly. “I had also sensed that battle. But compared to the upcoming catastrophe, the war 10,000 years ago can only be considered an appetizer.”

The Golden Crow Thearch’s words caused everyone to tremble.

The battle 10,000 years ago had almost destroyed the entirety of the five regions. Countless spirit veins and blessed lands had been reduced to ruins, and the ancient battlefield was still unapproachable.

Countless sacred grounds and races had suffered heavy losses in that catastrophe. Some sacred grounds and races had even been directly destroyed.

If such a war was only an appetizer and was nothing compared to the upcoming calamity, what would the upcoming calamity be like?

What would the five regions welcome? Could it be that the entire world was going to be destroyed?

The Golden Crow Thearch sighed softly. “Do you know that the various great powers and races of the Celestial World are actually also resisting these outerworld evil beings?

“The evil beings from the outerworld that the Celestial World is facing are not as weak as the evil beings invading the five regions.

“Or rather, the Evil Spirt race that attacked the five regions once every 10,000 years was just a small group of enemies specially released by the Celestial World’s guardians.

“This was meant to train the cultivators of the five regions and create more experts. After they ascended, they would become part of the force to fight against the main force of the Evil Spirit race.”

The Evil Spirit race that attacked the five regions once every 10,000 years was specially released by the Celestial World’s guardians?

The Golden Crow Thearch’s words were shocking.

If it was a childish and immature teenager, they might have started doubting life and might even start cursing.

However, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, and Shen Tian weren’t idiots with low IQ and EQ, so they naturally thought more about it.

The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s body rippled gently. “In other words, every calamity in the past was actually driven by the guardians of the Celestial World, or even set up by them?”

The Golden Crow Thearch nodded slowly. “That’s right. The fact that the Evil Spirit race broke into the five regions 10,000 years ago and turned the five regions into a river of blood was also tacitly approved.”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura fluctuation increased slightly. “Is it necessary to sacrifice so many lives?”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not ask why because he had already guessed the reason.

The Golden Crow Thearch calmly replied, “There is a need because… an unprecedented war is about to begin.

“A war between races is not something meant for the faint-hearted.

“Compared to the survival of the entire celestial and mortal worlds, the losses caused by a training that was under control are completely within acceptable limits.

“In fact, after the war 10,000 years ago, the five regions have indeed produced many elites that have shocked even the Celestial World.”

With that said, he looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus before saying with a faint smile, “The two of you are also considered outstanding among the successors of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

“There are only so many resources. If the five regions remain in a stable environment, they will only exhaust each other.

“On the contrary, after learning about the powerful external enemies that they would face, would everyone be united.”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader then asked, “What is the unprecedented war referring to?”

The Golden Crow Thearch said, “The guardians of the Celestial World won’t be able to hold out much longer.”

Another bombshell was thrown. The Golden Crow Thearch then continued. “Why do you think I suddenly died 80,000 years after my ascension?

“My cultivation base has long surpassed that of a Thearch, reaching an unimaginable stage.

“However, even I myself was only a pawn in that war. I was unable to even become a real player in the war.

“If not for the fact that I had obtained two pages of the Blood God Sutra before I ascended and made use of Immortal Abode Island’s special domains to establish the imperial tomb and set up a world-shocking rebirth array, my soul would have long been destroyed.”

The Golden Crow Thearch was definitely being modest when he called himself a pawn in the war.

However, for a Thearch to sigh with emotion like this, the strength of the experts of the Celestial World was obviously beyond imagination.

Shen Tian then asked, “Blood God Sutra? Since Senior has set up the rebirth array, why do you still want to possess my body to be reborn?”

The Golden Crow Thearch replied calmly, “You must have found that broken eggshell in my herb garden, young friend! My True Spirit Samsara left that behind.

“However, what has returned to this world is only my true spirit. My divine soul and physical body have long been destroyed. There is no way for me to be reborn independently. I have to use the Dao Fruit of a peerless paragon as a furnace to achieve Nirvana.”

While speaking of reincarnation through possession, the Golden Crow Thearch’s tone carried a hint of guilt, but it was extremely firm.

He said calmly, “Perhaps you will think that my actions are ungentlemanly and even selfish and vicious, but war is that cruel. If young friend’s talent is only considered good, then in this great calamity that is about to befall the five regions, you might not even have the chance to cultivate to become a Thearch before dying.

“Since that’s the case, I might as well send you to Samsara ahead of time in exchange for the opportunity for my rebirth.

“That’s because my resurrection will be more effective than a genius who has yet to mature.”

Was he supposed to die because he was useless?

Shen Tian instinctively felt repulsed by Golden Crow Thearch’s words. After all, he had been born in the 21st century, and the education and worldview he had received were completely different.

However, he did not retort because he was afraid of being beaten up. He was even more afraid of angering this old bird. What if he really possessed him on a whim?

…

Shen Tian looked at the great Thearch. “Then why did Senior give up on this idea?”

The Golden Crow Thearch’s gaze was deep as he said seriously, “Because your appearance is truly extraordinary, young friend. It reminds me of my youth. I simply can’t bring myself to do it.”

Shen Tian, “-_-”

“Haha, just kidding.”

The Golden Crow Thearch laughed. “To be honest, my young friend, your talent is the most incredible I’ve ever seen.

“If you ascend to the Celestial World and undergo the baptism of heavenly aura, even the supreme paragons of the Celestial World will pale in comparison to you.

“If I possess you, even if I revive and return to my peak, I will only be able to protect the five regions for 10,000 years. Then, I will be a dispensable warrior in the Celestial World and die in battle.

“Since that’s the case, I might as well leave my hope to you. If you succeed in growing up, I’m sure those damned evil beings will have very interesting expressions!

“A single person who possesses ten extraordinary items. If anyone were to make an enemy of you, they would likely not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.”

After sighing softly, the Golden Crow Thearch said, “I’m also indeed tired after fighting for 80,000 years.

“Returning to the cycle of reincarnation and walking the path of invincibility again from young might bring me a new experience. I might even be able to take another step forward!”

Shen Tian could clearly sense that the Golden Crow Thearch was relieved of a heavy burden when he said this. His tone instantly became much more relaxed.

So, the crisis had ended so easily?

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian with gratification.

As expected of Tian’er. As expected of a Son of Providence.

Even a Thearch was ashamed of his own inferiority, saying that he was just a pawn in the Celestial World. Tian’er’s talent is comparable to the supreme paragons of the Celestial World, and he even has a chance to become a leading figure in the Celestial World!

He does not merely have the potential of becoming a Thearch. He has the potential of becoming an Immortal Monarch!

In the future, I will just say that my disciple Shen Tian has the bearing of an Immortal Monarch!

The talent of the Purple Mansion Sacred Leader’s disciple is nothing!

Hehehehehehe~

Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was secretly satisfied.

Previously, in order to hide myself, I had no choice but to miss out on many opportunities to suck up to my Master and nephew.

Luckily, this time, by standing against a Thearch, I have given Tian’er a good impression.

Hehehe, in the future, when I go out with Tian’er to gain experience, I will definitely have a lot of good fortune!

…

Shen Tian looked at Golden Crow Thearch and said seriously, “Senior, please be rest assured and reincarnate. When I become a Thearch and ascend, I will definitely protect the five regions and kill all enemies in the world.”

The evil beings from the outerworld wanted to join in the fun? Then let’s fight!

Shen Tian would not allow the five regions to fall into danger. After all, there were so many cute juniors here.

If the world fell into a calamity, where would he go to seek opportunities?

Yes!

When I become a Thearch, I will definitely protect the five regions and suppress all the enemies in the world!

Cough, cough!

Of course, before becoming a Thearch, he still had to hide!

After all, he was still a weak and helpless little Golden Core cultivator for now.

Not even Thearchs were able to survive the calamity alone and would be immediately killed like small fries.

Even if he could jump realms to fight and defeat Heavenly Venerables and Supermacies, he couldn’t possibly defeat a Thearch!

Wouldn’t that mean that… he should at least reach the Soul Formation stage and undergo a tribulation first?

Be steady. It was never wrong to develop wretchedly.

As for why he had expressed such a grand ambition?

Hehe, he had to let Senior Golden Crow Thearch see his attitude!

If this junior of his already had such a grand ambition, it wouldn’t be good for the Golden Crow Thearch to go back on his word and possess him!

Perhaps this big brother would be so happy that he would give all his assets to him instead!

After all, the nine sons of the Golden Crow Thearch were all dead. If they were to be sent to Samsara, he would have to find someone else to inherit his huge family business!

“Very good. I’m ashamed that you have such awareness.

“I have made a promise from the start. If anyone could send my nine children away, my Immortal Abode Island would belong to them.

“Apart from that, my weapons and treasures will also belong to them. Now that you’ve successfully assisted them in transcending, I won’t go back on my words.”

The Golden Crow Thearch slowly stretched out his right hand, and a golden token flew out of his sleeve. “This is the Immortal Abode Island Token. After refining the Immortal Abode Island Token, you will be able to control the Immortal Abode Island’s protective array.”

The token flew into Shen Tian’s hands and emitted a resplendent golden light after being bound by his blood.

Shen Tian immediately felt a special connection between him and the massive Immortal Abode Island.

This connection was extremely mysterious. It was as if he could control the numerous formations on the island with a single thought and everything on the island!

…

Shen Tian stroked the token with a fervent gaze.

With this token in hand, it meant that he was also considered an Island Master from today onwards!

He would build a tourist attraction and sell some sea view houses. He would fish and collect rent while admiring the bikini girls on the beach every day.

Such days would be simply wonderful!

So wonderful!
