234: Chapter 234 All Thoughts Return to One - I Am the Heavenly Dao

Jiang Chen entered meditation on the spot, beginning to frantically absorb and fuse with the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao originated from Chaos, fell into the mortal world of Honghuang, and was tempered into form through the cultivation of billions of living beings.

When all things change and laws condense, only those who turn their hearts toward the light and uphold the righteous path can give birth to the true will of the Heavenly Dao.

The existence of living beings is, in essence, cultivation.

Whether it is active enlightenment or passive experience, everything is cultivation.

It can be said that the Heavenly Dao completes its tribulation among all living beings and ultimately returns to Chaos.

Now, Jiang Chen wished to fuse with the Heavenly Dao, but behind every strand of the Heavenly Dao, a wisp of the original owner's obsession was entwined.

His head felt like it was splitting!

The intense pain, like a knife, repeatedly pierced deep within his Primordial Spirit.

"Protect him!"

Seeing this, Nuwa and Houtu instantly understood the critical situation. They shouted in unison, leaped out, and formed a defensive array.

As his closest companions, stepping forward was only natural.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and the pain diminished instantly.

A single strand of the Heavenly Dao was connected to a wisp of obsession; a wisp of obsession was a lifetime. Within it were joys and sorrows, love and hate, and even more, the condensation of worldviews and the precipitation of memories.

He sat cross-legged, refining the Heavenly Dao while experiencing the colorful lives that each strand of obsession had lived.

His understanding of Honghuang and the laws governing all living beings surged into his sea of consciousness like a tide, becoming deeper and more transparent.

This process was like swallowing countless thoughts; it was also like personally walking through thousands of different lives.

Meanwhile, his Primordial Spirit was constantly being tempered.

The Honghuang cultivation system, from Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Heaven Immortal, to Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Great Luo, and then to Quasi-Saint, Saint, and Hunyuan—

Whether it was severing the Three Corpses, tempering the physique, or accumulating merit, all belonged to the macroscopic path.

Only the cultivation of the consciousness and the sea of spirit had never been detailed.

It was not until after "Eternal in a Single Thought" that he truly realized—

The strength of spiritual wisdom is the foundation.

Only after stepping onto Wuji Star did he truly begin to refine this domain.

Living beings live because of obsession.

Obsession with things, obsession with matters, the pursuit of goals, the longing for the Great Dao—

All can become obsession.

In the end, all living beings exist because of obsession.

Even if one cultivated to the level of Heaven Immortal or Golden Immortal and could suppress or see through many obsessions, only with the blessing of the power of faith could they condense them into intent.

Intent signifies a complete self-consciousness, which can be adjusted, evolved, and ultimately become an undying spiritual wisdom.

And the current Jiang Chen had long since transcended the mundane.

As a Chaos Saint, he had already condensed an undying Primordial Spirit.

His Primordial Spirit was like a sea, vast and boundless, capable of containing thousands of thoughts, absorbing their cultivation, energy, and memories. Yet, everything was controlled by his main consciousness; ten thousand thoughts converged into one, and it would never lose control.

When melting the wisps of obsession entwined in the Heavenly Dao, he only took their energy and discarded the distracting thoughts in the memories.

To him, this was a cultivation practice to temper the soul.

The Heavenly Dao nurtured by Chaos was completely swallowed by him. From then on, he was the sole master of the Honghuang universe—he was the only supreme Wuji!

Melting! Continuous melting!

Devouring! Unceasing devouring! The black hole was like a giant mouth, frantically sucking in everything.

As the devouring deepened, the wills of various Great Venerables were stripped away, turning into fragmented Heavenly Daos that emerged in the void.

Melt!

"I, Jiang Chen, hereby swear to reshape a brand-new Honghuang!"

"We do not need the old world where Hongjun controls the Heavenly Dao!"

"Nor do we need the remnants of Pangu's creation of the world!"

"I am the Heavenly Dao; all spirits must bow and obey!"

Jiang Chen stood on the mountaintop, his body slowly merging with the starlight of Wuji Star, as if he had become the core of the Chaos core.

Nuwa and Houtu sat cross-legged, piously casting spells.

In fact, it did not matter if they did not cast spells at this moment.

Chaos itself was a chaotic dead zone, devoid of life, and extremely dangerous.

The Qi of Chaos was constantly devouring and refining all things.

Under the control of Jiang Chen's will, Wuji Star had long since hidden itself, invisible to anyone.

Quasi-Saints fell!

The Chaos Fiendgods were swallowed, and the Nine Heavens Demon Realm completely disintegrated, merging into the vortex of Chaos clouds.

The entire Honghuang was turned upside down, and order collapsed.

Those high and mighty cultivators of the past hid themselves, closed their doors, and dared not appear easily again.

Who knows how much time had passed.

The black hole finally finished devouring tens of thousands of gods and the Great Venerables of Honghuang.

Those who were lucky enough to escape were terrified into silence.

After returning to Honghuang, they immediately went into seclusion to reflect deeply.

Chaos is the supreme existence of the universe—once it shakes, it can refine all living beings.

This... could it be the will of Heaven?

Whether they were ordinary beings or Honghuang Saints, everyone fell into contemplation.

They concluded that Honghuang would inevitably face a subversive upheaval.

And all of this came from the hands of Chaos.

Yet no one thought that the true mastermind behind the scenes was Jiang Chen.

On the contrary, the entire Honghuang firmly believed that Jiang Chen, Nuwa, and Houtu had long been completely devoured by Chaos, leaving no bones behind.

Gradually, this became a consensus.

When Honghuang returned to silence, everyone had actually forgotten their names.

"Whew—"

As the Heavenly Dao completely merged into his Primordial Spirit and sea of consciousness, Jiang Chen slowly stood up.

At this moment, looking at Chaos, looking at the starry sky, and looking at Honghuang, all things were transparent, the laws revealed themselves, as if he had been reborn after nirvana.

"Husband, too much time has passed... What should we do next?"

Nuwa sat below, looking up and asking softly.

Sensing Jiang Chen's changes, awe welled up in her heart, like looking up at a high mountain.

But she herself was lost.

It was not just her who was confused; Houtu was also puzzled.

Now in the Honghuang universe, All Heavens and Myriad Realms were collapsing one after another, and only the human race was quietly rising.

She did not know where the path ahead lay, and her heart had no place to rest.

"Evolving a new universe and starry sky, you do not need to do anything; just concentrate on comprehending the heavenly secrets."

"I have already grasped the Origin Great Dao!"

Jiang Chen smiled indifferently and moved his hand.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The black hole and the Qi of Chaos violently converged, and a terrifying explosion swept through the void.

The Big Bang of the universe suddenly arrived!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Stars shattered, nebulae were pulverized, and even star regions were collapsing.

The sound of world-destruction rang through the universe, and the aura of death permeated Honghuang.

In the midst of this destructive storm, Jiang Chen's voice pierced through the Chaos:

"All Saints, heed my command; all spirits, return to your positions—enter Honghuang!"

"Under the Divine Net, human civilization shall rise and strengthen itself! Accelerate development!"

Jiang Chen was not dead!

He was not only alive, but he stood at the center of Chaos!

In an instant, whether they were Honghuang Saints or common beings, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and dared not have any reckless thoughts.

Who would dare to question him now? Who would dare to hesitate?

If one was not careful, the next moment, the star region you were in would be the one exploding!

With the Big Bang of the universe, the starry sky shattering, and the destruction of the world by Chaos, all Saints and Great Venerables returned to Honghuang, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

They came to Earth and practiced in seclusion.

They also passed down the Dharma along the way to help the human race rise.

In the Honghuang calendar, the Heavenly Dao first appeared, Hongjun appeared, preached in Zixiao, and Saints emerged one after another.

The former Longhan Catastrophe, the later Lich War, had already been sealed in the long river of history, becoming past clouds and smoke.

But ever since Jiang Chen descended, all trajectories collapsed, cause and effect were reversed, and fates were rewritten.

The current Honghuang was no longer the old world where the Heavenly Dao held the helm and followed the prescribed order.

It was a completely reshaped—brand-new Honghuang!

The Heavenly Dao had long been swallowed and fused by Jiang Chen, rules were reconstructed, and all phenomena were replaced.
