Chapter 94: Golden Merit Rune
"No, you cannot attack the realm of Saint."
Although Gu Chuan felt as if he could immediately break into the Saint Realm, with the laws in his body transforming, he still stopped himself with great willpower, forcibly suppressing the urge to ascend to the Saint Realm.
If he were an ordinary chaos demon god, he might have seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to step into the Saint Realm already. However, Gu Chuan's ambition was too great to simply act in haste.
The issue is, if he is promoted before reaching the perfect state, he would still be just an ordinary Saint. If he wishes to go further in the Saint Realm, it would become exponentially harder.
The three thousand demon gods of later generations, each standing at the peak of chaos, were powerful—yet when facing the invincible Pangu, they were easily crushed, like ants.
This highlights the importance of foundation and roots, which ultimately determine how far one can go after being promoted to Saint.
Some claim that under the Realm of Saints are all ants, but the difference between an ordinary Saint and a powerful Great Saint is akin to the difference between the clouds and the mud.
However, this does not mean that every demon god needs to take such steps. Gu Chuan's ambition, however, is clearly greater. If he is to become a Saint, he must become the strongest Saint and establish the strongest foundation.
This is Gu Chuan's ambition.
