Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

It turns out that the divine crystals didn't come first, and then the ancient planet with life;

Instead, the ancient planet with life existed first, followed by the Creation Crystal. The purpose of the Creation Crystal was to balance the distribution of planetary resources and to nurture strong individuals who were loyal to Him and their race, thereby further protecting the planet.

In an ancient era too distant to trace, an ancient human cultivator was the first to come into contact with the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal and receive its blessing, after which he possessed the power to sweep away all other races.

Later, the power gradually spiraled out of control. The ancient human race's 'emperor' wanted to refine the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal and possess it for himself, leading to an unprecedented war. The strongest beings of the other four races were blessed and began to besiege the ancient human race, thus beginning the ancient war.

This battle lasted for countless years. In any case, according to the Venus Divine Crystal, the power of the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal was severely depleted and fell into a deep sleep, leaving the entire planet on the verge of collapse.

In order to completely suppress other races, the ancient human race set its sights on the stars in the sky, intending to seize new divine crystal power. They dispatched their most powerful divine warriors to begin the war, and the Venus Divine Crystal became one of their captives from that time onward.

According to it, nearly 30% of its power was taken by the ancient human race. By the time it gradually developed consciousness, it had already lost too much. In a fit of rage, it unleashed its primal power, destroying the gods stationed on this planet and the spirit-stealing array at the Earth's core.

The cost to it was immense, and because it was off-center from the original inscription, it was unable to use the planet's power to regain its consciousness, leaving it in a state of limbo.

It wasn't until many years later, with the appearance of Jiang Mo, that the near-eternal stalemate was broken.

During His slumber, the solar system, which originally had dozens of planets, many of which nurtured the Creation Crystal, could not avoid having its power plundered by the ancient humans and the other four races.

Furthermore, the ferocity of the ancient war and the primal desire for mutual devouring among the divine crystals led to the destruction of many planets.

After the Venusian Divine Crystal had basically finished explaining the situation of the Primordial Era to Jiang Mo, it couldn't help but ask:

"Child, have you come here also to steal my power?"

Jiang Mo felt a hint of tension and helplessness in the cold hand that was holding his, an emotion of not wanting to be controlled by fate.

He frowned slightly and spoke truthfully: "When I first came here, I just wanted to see if 'you' existed. To be frank, if you didn't exist, I would have wanted to develop this planet as much as possible."

"But now it seems unnecessary."

Since the other party already possessed a life consciousness, and Jiang Mo had no grudge against it, he could not refine this star for the sake of his own selfish reasons.

"......"

The Venusian Divine Crystal remained silent for a few seconds before speaking, offering an unexpected suggestion:

"Child, would you be willing to become my guide?"

"what is that?"

This was the first time Jiang Mo had ever heard of this term.

"To become a guardian who carries out my will, similar to your current symbiotic relationship with the secret realm."

"But 'Guardian of the Way' is a term used in our time. I can give you power and resources."

"You and I will become the masters of this planet together, and what you have to do is protect it and protect me until the end of time, until the end of the world."

"Well, child, are you willing?"

Venus Crystal extended a warm invitation, as if a discerning eye had discovered a fine horse.

Chapter 591 Two Gifts, Moving Star Positions

Objectively speaking, Jiang Mo is the strongest being that the Creation Crystal has ever seen after its consciousness and wisdom have fully taken shape. He far surpasses the great powers of various races in the Primordial Era and is even more terrifying than many of the wielders of the Creation Crystal.

Furthermore, through his conversation with Jiang Mo, He was able to discern that the human being before him was inherently orderly and gentle.

This is why the Creator Crystal was so eager to win him over upon their first meeting.

However, Jiang Mo smiled slightly and gave a negative answer to His invitation.

"I can't protect you for that long."

"In a few days, I will leave this world and go to beyond its borders."

"Besides, my lifespan is limited."

"You are a miracle that witnesses the passage of time. The passage of millions or tens of millions of years is nothing more than a day for humans, while whether I can live for more than two thousand years is still unknown."

Jiang Mo's voice was honest and calm, and it was indeed true. Originally, his cultivation level was theoretically enough to allow him to live for 1,500 to 2,000 years, but these continuous cultivation sessions had shortened his lifespan considerably.

What was a century to his contemporaries was a millennium to him.

He intends to spend the remaining centuries of his life conquering beyond the realms and exploring a wider world, not to become the lord of a star, but to remain trapped in the Abyss for the rest of his life.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Upon hearing Jiang Mo's words, the hand transformed from the Creation Crystal slowly unfolded, creating a new scene, and His voice followed.

“My child, I know your lifespan is indeed nearing its end.”

"However, by becoming my heir and coexisting with me, you can still live for a thousand years, and I will bear the erosion of time for you."

“A thousand years from now, if you choose to be reincarnated, I will protect you and help you return to your current level. In the endless years to come, you will have the opportunity to reach the pinnacle and challenge even higher realms. Isn’t that good?”

"Moreover, if you encounter an accident in the outer realms you are going to, and are seriously injured or even perish, with my help, you will surely be able to extend your life and keep your soul intact."

As the Creation Crystal spoke, the fabricated illusion displayed the steps of casting a spell to allow the two parties to refine each other.

To unite oneself with the Dao is to rule the world.

From the perspective of cultivation, achieving immortality and becoming the strongest within a fixed world can make one the highest, only, and unshakeable deity in history.

Despite such temptation, Jiang Mo did not readily agree, instead jokingly saying:

"Aren't you afraid my wife will find out about this opportunistic attempt to take advantage of my misfortune?"

"The Celestial Abyss Divine Crystal... It is either on the verge of shattering or in a deep slumber. Among us stars, the beings it nurtured are the strongest, which also means that it suffers the most cruel exploitation. After the bloody war between the five ancient races, it is already extremely weak..."

"However, I can smell His scent on you, but I can't tell whether you are Him or He is you."

"You mean the secret realm?"

Jiang Mo was extremely perceptive and roughly guessed the unspoken meaning behind the other party's words.

The Creation God Crystal couldn't distinguish between them because it couldn't determine whether it was a fragment of the Heavenly Abyss God Crystal's consciousness that had been reborn as Jiang Mo, or whether Jiang Mo's similar aura was due to his refinement of the secret realm and possession of a portion of the Creation God Crystal's origin.

Given these two situations where it's difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, and the fact that there's a fatal factor at play, Venus Crystal chose to conduct further testing.

If Jiang Mo had developed from a fragmented Tianyuan consciousness, he certainly wouldn't have accepted His invitation to become a Dao Bearer.

Because both belong to the same category, the Venus Divine Crystal, which occupies an absolutely powerful position, can devour this part of the Tianyuan consciousness without leaving any trace, and then devour the entire divine crystal buried deep underground.

This is a secret known only to each other, who are each other's creator crystals.

At this stage, the Venusian consciousness is no match for Jiang Mo. All it can do is protect itself, unleash the primal power of the entire planet, form a chaotic barrier, and resist any potential plundering from Jiang Mo.

Secondly, if Jiang Mo had already become the master of the secret realm and had only recently acquired the aura of the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal, he could have used his methods to recruit him.

In either case, Venus Crystal is in a proactive position.

He gazed intently at Jiang Mo and said:

"The secret realm is also a blessed land nurtured by the Creation Crystal, belonging to the essence."

"And you Masters are like incomplete Enforcers. When the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal is restored to its full form and its consciousness is clear, it can manipulate your fate at will, causing you to fight by chance, and then select the strongest Master to be promoted to Enforcer."

"Of course, this depends on the personality of different divine crystals. Some divine crystals directly notify all masters to fight each other or voluntarily give up their authority. Once a Dao Enforcer is established, they are immortal and can easily control all secret realms, including stripping other masters of their identities."

Following His words, Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "So, Master is a pawn of the Creation God Crystal?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the specific divine crystal chosen. Some are too lazy to leave the source of chaos, that is, to nurture the Master to become stronger and subtly change the Master's cognition and thinking, making Him a weapon to protect the planet and expand outwards; others plan to seize the body, directly erasing the Master's personality, eating him clean, replacing him from the inside out, and letting the divine crystal's consciousness dominate him as he walks in the world."

As the truth was gradually revealed, Jiang Mo pondered whether, with his current cultivation level, he could withstand the erosion of Tianyuan's consciousness.

Maybe.

He was fairly confident, but he wouldn't dare say that nothing in life is absolute.

The Venusian Crystal noticed the hesitation on Jiang Mo's face, and regardless of whether it was genuine or not, it said with a gentle laugh:

"Giving up your current Master status won't have much of an impact on you."

"For a being of your level, even if a secret realm were completely drained, it might not be able to restore you from your weakened state back to your full strength. In that case, why bind your future..."

That's not how it works.

Jiang Mo interrupted him midway, saying directly:

"Even if there is a fragmented divine crystal consciousness manipulating the situation behind the scenes in the secret realm over Tianyuan, it may not be able to possess me. But compared to you, the complete you are obviously much stronger. If you want to scheme against me, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

"However... I still want to thank you. It's time to remove the title of Master."

Given the hidden dangers mentioned by the Venus Divine Crystal, Jiang Mo decided to abandon the secret realm, but he didn't intend to let his disciples inherit this danger. Fortunately, his thirteen avatars, with their chaotic physiques, could refine the Three-One Secret Realm...

Seeing that Jiang Mo wouldn't listen to reason, the Venus Divine Crystal remained patient and slowly said:

"You just said you're going to the outer realms. Have you considered what will happen to you after you're gone?"

"If after you leave, the lineage and the master you leave behind are not recognized by the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal, and it chooses a master of another race, what will you do then?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Mo said calmly, believing that his reincarnated body would suppress everything.

"......"

Now it was Venus Crystal's turn to fall silent. It had invited them several times, but all attempts had failed. The human before it was unwilling to become its follower.

"Then let's make a deal."

"Appreciate further details."

“I give you all the power of the Way, and you promise me that if I am in danger before you die, you will lend me a hand.”

“You are still young, and it’s normal for you not to want to be bound. Just like a fledgling eagle that has grown up, it always yearns for the high sky.”

"What I want to tell you is that I have no ill intentions towards you. In the future, thousands or tens of thousands of years, when your lifespan comes to an end, you will have one more chance to choose. I welcome you to come at any time."

The Venus Divine Crystal focused on the key point, not discussing symbiosis, but only seeking Jiang Mo's martial prowess to prevent him from being devoured and refined by his own kind or a stronger cultivator in the future.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Jiang Mo smiled faintly: "I wonder what conditions you can offer. It is said that ancient life-bearing stars that possess the Creation God Crystal have a high probability of giving birth to innate magic artifacts. Is there any truth to that?"

"Have."

"It is possible to nurture innate magical artifacts, which are essentially the ultimate evolution of the primordial chaos. You and I, including all living beings, are substances nurtured by different primordial chaos."

The pale blue hand held Jiang Mo's wrist, pulling him slightly forward, then pointed to the brownish-gray spiritual energy spreading around them, and explained:

"This is the origin of all things, the primordial chaos, also known as the origin of chaos."

"Through it, I create all kinds of life, laws, magical artifacts, and so on."

"I haven't created the innate magical artifact you mentioned yet, but I have created a law of destruction, a power that causes all things to die and decay."

At this point, the Venus Divine Crystal trembled slightly, and an extremely dense and profound black light split out from within, radiating a power no less than that of an innate magic weapon.

"That's it!"

Jiang Mo thought to himself, recognizing at a glance that this was the source of the black mist from ancient times, the source of the devouring gods and the great powers of the ancient human race, the Law of Destruction.

“You are not the one who upholds the Way, so I cannot truly give it to you. Your body and soul are not compatible with it, but with my blessing, you can use its power for a short time.”

May it bring you ease in overcoming obstacles, may it become your sharp sword in dire straits, and may it bring peace to both of us.

As he spoke, his pale blue right hand gently extended forward.

The black light flew as lightly as a feather to Jiang Mo's palm. Only when it touched him did he see its true form: a black lotus flower. Each petal carried a terrifying power, perfectly restrained and not leaking outwards.

"I wonder if this gift will persuade you?"

“Okay.” Jiang Mo carefully sensed the power of the black lotus and was quite surprised, as it was not much inferior to his Immortal-Breaking Sword.

At the same time, he still had doubts, so he asked, "Can this power of law be used outside the realm?"

"of course."

"This is also one of my considerations. With its help, you will have an extra layer of protection when you travel abroad in the future."

Hearing Him say this, even Jiang Mo couldn't help but chuckle. Travel? This was hardly a travel; he was blocked by numerous powerful enemies the moment he stepped out the door, and he also had to face the baptism of heavenly tribulation. It was hard to say whether he could even successfully step out of his home.

"By the way, is yours the only one in the entire world that possesses this power of 'destruction'?"

"No, innate magical artifacts are unique, but pure laws are not unique. They are powers that have existed since ancient times. I created them using the origin of chaos according to a certain path of enlightenment. This does not mean that other divine crystal consciousnesses cannot do the same. They may give birth to other laws, and destruction is included in them."

Jiang Mo pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding, then asked, "So how many laws have you actually conceived?"

"As you can see, one is in your hands. If there were multiple laws, I wouldn't need to rely on your power to defend against the stars."

The meaning behind Venus Crystal's words is clear: He is worried that after Tianyuan Star or other ancient life-bearing stars are revived, they will devour and assimilate Him.

"The Book of Time in your hand is one of the creations of the Heavenly Abyss Divine Crystal. If I remember correctly, it nurtured three innate magical artifacts back then, which is why I have always been inferior to it."

"I am too close to the sun, and I am constantly enduring its scorching heat. As a result, I need to divert some of my power to maintain the balance of the earth's surface. If it weren't for this, I might still have the strength to nurture a new innate magical artifact."

“I can help you change course,” Jiang Mo said frankly, adding that it wouldn’t be difficult for him with his cultivation level.
