Today's second update: Chapter 2520! 2/4!
The two had developed differently both before and after their deaths. Before entering the Investiture of the Gods List, they had aided Lü Yue in helping King Zhou commit evil deeds and poisoning the people of the world.
After their souls entered the Investiture of the Gods List and they attained godhood, they became two of the Six Plague Gods alongside the Four Plague Gods. Their natures and missions underwent earth-shaking changes as well.
That could perhaps be called karmic retribution. Unlike the Three Hundred Sixty Plague Shamans or the Five Plague Envoys, they had been representatives selected by Plague God Lü Yue from among mortals, people who had risen from the common folk.
Before attaining godhood, the Six Plague Gods and Lü Yue, the chief god of the plague path, had all used their arts to bring chaos upon the world. Their ascension had also bound them; unlike innate deities, once they entered the Investiture of the Gods List, they would be trapped by it for life.
Their Heavenly Dao mission after attaining godhood was to pay for the mistakes they had committed in the past.
Thus, they had gone from perpetrators of violence to saviors.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Lü Yue bore the most, followed by these two junior brothers of his.
After attaining godhood, Master of Persuasion Chen Geng was responsible for "guiding the world toward goodness." Through dreams or illusions, he warned people when plague was approaching and urged them to do good and accumulate virtue to avoid disaster.
He was rather like a prophet~
After attaining godhood, Taoist of Plague Harmony Li Ping was responsible for regulating the spread and mortality rate of plagues, preventing extreme situations such as entire clans being wiped out.
