Jiang Chen felt like he’d been taken for a ride. He didn’t know how to respond to Emperor Peafowl’s speech.

Responsibility?

Duty? 

Jiang Chen didn’t know what to say. If his father the Celestial Emperor knew about his current circumstances, his father would never encourage him to take the coward’s way out and escape from it all.

“I don’t know how I’ll do, Your Majesty, but I will work as hard as I can.” Meeting Emperor Peafowl’s fervent gaze head on, Jiang Chen made a manly promise.

“Excellent! I’d expect no less from someone as unparalleled as you.” Greatly pleased, Emperor Peafowl showered Jiang Chen with praise. “I don’t know why I feel this, but I feel that you are the only one that can break down the invisible barrier holding back the Divine Abyss Continent. Only you can bring an end to this warring chaos.” His words weren’t baseless. Though his All-Seeing Eyes were only open to a certain degree, he could still see things that ordinary people could not. The fortune surrounding Jiang Chen’s fate was one of them.

It wasn’t the first...
