Whether Jiang Chen can achieve the realm beyond Primordial Chaos hinges on whether the Nine Heavens can devour the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Sanqing Heaven.
If he can accomplish this, even without seizing Dongsheng Divine Continent, Jiang Chen can still step into the state beyond Primordial Chaos, the realm of infinite creation.
In truth, for Jiang Chen to break through to the realm above Primordial Chaos, his options far exceed the imagination of those Great Divine Transcendents.
Beyond Dongsheng Divine Continent and the Thirty-Six Heavens, he has several other paths to take.
For example, in the depths of the Ruined Land, numerous remnants of Chaos Demigods lie scattered. If Jiang Chen can refine them and enhance the Original Source of the Prehistoric World, he can similarly achieve infinite creation.
Moreover, in the Endless Abyss, the scattered souls of Chaos Demigods are abundant. Refining them would also enable a breakthrough.
