Stillness! Silence!
Utterly quiet.
A silence beyond words.
A terrifying silence!...
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
As Hongjun spoke.
The tense Primeval Lord of Heaven and Sect Master Tongtian stopped arguing and fell completely silent.
After all.
Their teacher, Hongjun, had spoken. In the Primordial World, who would dare not give him face? The Purple Cloud Palace instantly fell silent.
Seeing that the Purple Cloud Palace had quieted down, Hongjun continued, "This tribulation is no ordinary one. Sacrificing a single sect will not be enough to fill the Investiture of the Gods List. If the list is not filled, the tribulation will not end."
"It will continue to shroud the Primordial Continent until every place on the Investiture of the Gods List has been filled."
Taishang Laozi said, "Teacher, did you not say that the Investiture of the Gods List was meant to appoint three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods?"
"Couldn't a mere three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods be filled by one sect?" In Taishang Laozi's view, using the strength of a single sect to fill the entire Investiture of the Gods List would be more than enough.
There would even be people left over.
Hongjun said flatly, "The Investiture of the Gods List was indeed easy to fill in the past, but it is different now."
"It is fundamentally impossible to fill it. Do you know the crucial requirement for filling the Investiture of the Gods List now?"
The Six Saints looked at one another in confusion, utterly unable to understand what Hongjun meant.
Taishang Laozi said, "Please enlighten us, Teacher."
Hongjun said, "The Investiture of the Gods List now has three hundred and fifty-six righteous god positions. Three Saints, ten Quasi-Saints, fifty Great Luo, and three hundred and two Taiyi must be placed on the list. In
