Investiture of the Gods
The news that the Yang Household planned to establish Imperial Dynasty did not cause much of a stir in the Lu Wu Realm. Many powerful forces had anticipated this. If they were in the same position, possessing the same strength and influence as the Yang Household, they would also seek the greatest benefit for themselves, and establishing Imperial Dynasty would be the best solution.
Moreover, the Yang Household Heavenly Mandate Race, and only by becoming the ruler of the Imperial Dynasty can they make the most of this identity.
The major powers didn't react much, but some smaller powers, unaware of the true strength of the situation, put up a tough fight and refused to obey the Yang Household's orders.
In fact, these small and medium-sized forces are just thinking about gaining more benefits for themselves. There is nothing inherently wrong with their actions. If given enough time, the Yang Household would certainly use both kindness and force to provide more compensation and reassure people.
However, the Yang Household's higher-ups didn't have much time to argue with these guys anymore. They directly set off with their army, and within half a month, hundreds of forces with Spirit Transformation cultivators in charge were uprooted. For a time, all forces were silenced and dared not put up any resistance.
The reason for this situation is mainly due to the information gap. The powerful forces with the presence of Sage Manifestation almost all know that the top cultivators will Ascension to the upper realm soon. Therefore, they immediately realized that the Yang Household's time is running out, and their subsequent actions will inevitably be more violent.
At this critical juncture, anyone who dares to undermine the Yang Household will certainly not have a good ending.
Therefore, these powerful forces had long ago notified their subordinate forces to behave themselves and not resist.
As for the smaller, less powerful factions with whom they have only a casual relationship, they are not included in this warning. The disappearance of these factions means one less group to share the spoils, doesn't it?
With the Interface War over, the original alliance of life and death had already crumbled rapidly without anyone noticing. Thinking about uniting against a common enemy was wishful thinking.
Thus, the Yang Household's grand undertaking proceeded steadily under this calm yet eerie situation.
In the blink of an eye, Three-Month has passed.
Purple Moon Mountain, Purple Moon City
The original city was expanded several times, and based on the Two-Polarity Origin Magnetism Formation, a series of sky cities were built that float in the air.
At the very top was a Palace, entirely crimson and adorned with gold and silver patterns, radiating boundless splendor.
The Palace is surrounded by 108 Great Dao paved with rainbow colors, with soldiers of the Yang Household, clad in armor and exuding an imposing aura, guarding both sides of the roads.
One by one, powerful figures of different appearances and races ascended the clouds and entered the Palace.
"Great White Palace!"
Looking at the few sharp, golden characters on the palace plaque, the old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Taibai intends to become emperor!"
Tian Yuanzi, standing beside him, nodded slightly and said, "It's to be expected. A dynasty with a strong destiny is different from ordinary cultivation forces. The emperor's strength is usually the strongest, only in this way can he withstand the pressure of destiny. If a dynasty is a house, then the emperor is the pillar. Moreover, the emperor must be able to make decisions independently. The Ziyue Yang family was led and developed by Fellow Daoist Taibai, and only he can sit firmly on the throne. If someone else were to sit on it, not to mention the discussions among the clansmen, the backlash from the dynasty's destiny alone would be an unbearable burden."
The old man clapped his hands and chuckled, "Excellent, excellent! Then we will wait and welcome Fellow Daoist Taibai to ascend the throne."
"Please come this way, seniors. This is the viewing area specially arranged by our Old Ancestor." A junior member of the Yang Household family, whose cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Realm, stepped forward, bowed, and said.
After the high-ranking members of the major powers were seated, Yang Tianyou led a group of Lineage leaders out from the side hall. After looking around, he solemnly said, "You are all my dear friends and relatives who have fought alongside the Yang Household in countless battles. I will not waste any more pleasantries. Please join me in offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth."
After speaking, Yang Tianyou took the lead and stepped out to the altar. He first read the text, which was almost identical to the previous content on the achievement of the Heavenly Mandate Race. Then he announced to heaven and earth that the Yang Household's Purple Moon Imperial Dynasty had been established.
As heavenly music resounded, the Purple Moon Imperial Dynasty was officially established.
Then, Yang Tianyou waved his sleeve, and a golden list Storm, instantly transforming into a sky-covering curtain. The mysterious patterns woven from strands of Primordial Power on it were dazzling and mesmerizing to behold.
"This is the Investiture of the Gods. From now on, anyone who makes a contribution to the Imperial Dynasty can be listed on this list, enjoy the Imperial Dynasty's incense offerings, and achieve the path to immortality!"
Yang Tianyou's announcement caused an uproar at the scene. The major powers did not expect that the Yang Household would be willing to offer such a precious spot. It should be noted that the number of Heavenly Mandate Fruit Positions in a realm is limited. If others occupy one more, the Yang Household will have one less. This disparity is not a good thing for the Yang Household's power.
Sure enough, Yang Tianyou then announced various restrictions, but compared to the allure of becoming a god, these restrictions were nothing.
Looking at the eager and fervent gazes of the crowd below, Yang Tianyou smiled calmly.
What the public didn't know was that the Investiture of the Gods was divided into two parts: the visible part was the Fruit Position of the Lu Wu Realm, and the hidden part was his Fruit Position of the Great White Grotto Heaven.
Undoubtedly, the value of the Fruit Position in Great White Grotto Heaven is higher. Although Great White Grotto Heaven is only a hundred miles in diameter now, its potential is enormous. It is no exaggeration to say that it is possible for it to grow to the level of the Immortal Realm.
As for the Lu Wu Realm, at best it would only be Great Thousand Realm, and it's highly unlikely they could even reach the level of Three Thousand Great Worlds; their potential is far too low.
For this reason, Yang Tianyou divided the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods into two parts: the open and the hidden. The open part, the Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position of the Lu Wu Realm, were granted by the Imperial Dynasty according to merit, while the hidden part, the Great White Grotto Heaven Fruit Position of the Taibai Cave, were reserved for the core members of the Lineage.
For example, Yang Tianyou planned to have his parents, Yang Qiongchu and Yang Tianyou Duan Hongyu, follow the Deity Immortal Dao and become Deities in his Great White Grotto Heaven.
The same was true of our Old Ancestor, Yang Haoyu.
There are many other members of the clan in similar situations; they lack the talent for cultivation and need to switch to the Deity Immortal Dao.
Releasing a portion of the Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position positions was very effective in winning people's hearts; at least the original barriers between the Yang Household and many Sacred Land forces disappeared quietly.
The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of gain.
There are no eternal friendships between powerful forces, only unchanging interests.
Having accepted the Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position offered by the Yang Household, they became a subordinate force of the Purple Moon Imperial Dynasty, truly one of their own.
The better the Imperial Dynasty developed, the greater the benefits the Deities received from the offerings. The interests of both sides were once again intertwined, and the atmosphere in the main hall became increasingly harmonious.
Subsequently, Yang Tianyou declared himself the ruler of the Imperial Dynasty and appointed Yunhua his empress.
We honor our Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu as the Empress Dowager of the Earth, who emulates Heaven and follows its example!
We honor our mother, Duan Hongyu, as the Goddess of Grain and the Nation!
Respectfully honor my father Yang Qiongchu, as the Star Lord of Fortune and Longevity!
More than twenty members of the Yang Household Member were granted divine titles, and thirteen other major powers in the Lu Wu Realm were also granted Deities. Relying on substantial benefits, the Purple Moon Imperial Dynasty was already extremely stable as soon as it was established!
