This Investiture of the Gods Scroll Is So Brittle!

"Ding, how dare this mere Investiture of the Gods Scroll try to harm me! Let me show you the power of my background! Mission issued: Destroy the Investiture of the Gods Scroll!"

Just as Qin Hong was feeling dejected, the system dropped a mission that was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

What the heck?

What did you say?

Are you kidding me? Destroy the Investiture of the Gods Scroll? Is this a joke?

Even though Qin Hong had developed some psychological resilience from the system's antics in the past few times, he was still shocked by this one.

It wants me to rush to my death? Destroy the Investiture of the Gods Scroll?

And under the watchful eyes of all the Saints in the Primordial Era?

The difficulty of this is no different from saying "I'm going to kill you" to Hongjun's face, is it?

Deep down, Qin Hong was very willing for the Investiture of the Gods Scroll to be destroyed, but willingness didn't mean he had to be the one to do it!

This difficulty is just too great!

If it were actually destroyed, would his background even be useful? Moreover, this thing represents the will of the Heavenly Dao and is protected by its power. Is it something that can be easily destroyed?

Qin Hong's heart faltered.

"If the host destroys the Investiture of the Gods Scroll, they will receive the Ancestral Dragon Remnant Soul. Once nurtured, the Ancestral Dragon can reappear."

"And it will be an Ancestral Dragon that completely obeys the host. If you tell it to go east, it will never go west!"

The system enticed Qin Hong patiently.

"This system will never issue impossible missions. After calculation, the Primordial Chaos Origin Power is sufficient to destroy the Investiture of the Gods Scroll!"

Under the system's instigation, Qin Hong's gaze fell upon the gleaming golden Investiture of the Gods Scroll.

This was the very thing that had utterly doomed the entire Sect of Interception, sealing their fate before the Calamity had even begun.

"Hmph, I don't know anything about an Ancestral Dragon Remnant Soul. I just don't like this Investiture of the Gods Scroll!"

"It dares to be detrimental to my Sect of Interception and my father!"

"Hmph, what use is there in keeping it?"

"Father, what does this Investiture of the Gods Scroll look like? I want to see it too!"

Just as Sect Master Tongtian was about to sign it, Qin Hong said with a pout.

"Hmm? What's so interesting about this thing? It can't be eaten or used, it's not even as good as the Yellow Middle Plum."

Sect Master Tongtian said, but he still brought the Investiture of the Gods Scroll to Qin Hong.

Since his son wanted to see it, he would let him. That's how much he doted on his son.

Besides, what trouble could a small child get into?

Taking the Investiture of the Gods Scroll from Sect Master Tongtian's hand, Qin Hong examined it carefully. Apart from its gaudy golden color, it had no other special appearance. However, within the scroll, there was a powerful force so immense that it could annihilate everything.

"Wow, so this is the Investiture of the Gods Scroll, it's so beautiful!"

Qin Hong exclaimed verbally, but in his heart, he directly commanded:

"Primordial Chaos Origin Power, manifest!"

Boom!

A powerful force surged out from within the system.

In the blink of an eye, an incredibly powerful, all-encompassing, and peerlessly dominant force enveloped Qin Hong.

Instantly, Hongjun, who was seated on the futon, paused and suddenly opened his eyes.

The other six Saints were also greatly alarmed and quickly began to calculate with their fingers, trying to find the source.

At this moment, with a swish, the Investiture of the Gods Scroll in Qin Hong's hand was cleanly torn in half right down the middle.

Holy crap!

Breathing stopped.

All the Saints were collectively dumbfounded!

Can someone tell me what just happened?

The Investiture of the Gods Scroll, torn in half???

The Investiture of the Gods Scroll is passed down from the Heavenly Book.

When Pangu created the heavens and earth, the Green Lotus of Creation gave birth to three books: the Heavenly Book, held by the Heavenly Dao.

The Earth Book, held by Zhenyuanzi at the Mount Shou Five Villages Monastery.

And the Human Book, held by Empress Pingxin in the Underworld, also known as Houtu, the sole survivor of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

This Heavenly Book had always been in the possession of the Heavenly Dao and had never appeared. Now, with the arrival of the third Calamity, it had manifested as the Investiture of the Gods Scroll.

It could be said that the Investiture of the Gods Scroll itself was an unparalleled treasure. Even if it wasn't an Innate Supreme Treasure, it was a top-tier Innate Spirit Treasure, extremely difficult to damage.

Even Saints would find it difficult to damage a top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure without a major conflict.

But now, this Investiture of the Gods Scroll, in the hands of Qin Hong, a young fellow who had only recently emerged, was directly torn in half?

This was utterly bizarre!

At this moment, in Zixiao Palace.

The atmosphere was incredibly strange and utterly silent. The highest echelons of the Primordial Era were gathered here, not a single person speaking.

It was understandable. No matter how many storms they had weathered and overcome, the scene before them was simply too shocking.

The silence was eventually broken. Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning spoke with great gravity:

"Tongtian, is this your son?"

"Can you even control him?"

"Look at the mess he's made!"

"The Investiture of the Gods Scroll is destroyed, what is to be done?"

"Master refined the Investiture of the Gods Scroll precisely to safely navigate the Calamity. Now, with it ruined, the disciples of the Three Sects will die without their souls entering the scroll. What immense karma and slaughter will this bring?"

Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning had already been humiliated by Qin Hong before. Now that he finally had such a good opportunity, he naturally intended to suppress Tongtian and Qin Hong to the death.

He was inherently ruthless and would disregard anyone for his own benefit. Even if Qin Hong was his nephew, it was of no consequence.

Now that Qin Hong had made a mistake and was caught, it was the perfect time to attack him directly, ideally sending him back to the womb.

"Master... this Investiture of the Gods Scroll..."

"What should we do now..."

"With the Investiture of the Gods Scroll destroyed, countless beings will suffer!"

"Alas, the Primordial Era is full of hardship!"

Unlike Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, Zhunti and Jieyin's approach was clearly much more sophisticated. The two spoke in tandem, their every word seemingly concerned with the beings of the Primordial Era, yet every sentence was designed to ensure Qin Hong's demise.

Truly a prime example of sanctimonious hypocrisy.

Meanwhile, Qin Hong was examining his rewards.

Within his spatial dimension, a giant egg covered in inscribed Innate Dao patterns rested quietly. Blood energy surged around the egg, and faint dragon roars could be heard.

Qin Hong could clearly see a wisp of remnant soul sleeping at the center of the egg. Even though it was not awake, it gave him a feeling of power only slightly less than his father's.

"Ancestral Dragon Remnant Soul. If it can be cultivated, in time, this will be another peak Quasi-Saint existence!" Qin Hong mused:

The Ancestral Dragon had already reached the peak of Quasi-Saint. It wouldn't need to re-cultivate, just follow the established path.

"Haha, then I'll have a peak Quasi-Saint enforcer. Yes, that would be awesome..."

Pulling his thoughts away from the system, Qin Hong looked at the situation before him, contemplating a way out.

He saw Zhunti and Jieyin still spewing nonsense to Hongjun, while Heavenly Lord of Morality continuously calculated with his fingers. Nuwa, with a slight shift of her lotus-like steps, moved a few paces away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Sect Master Tongtian was also utterly shocked. However, after his shock, he directly took the Qingping Sword from his back and held it, shielding Qin Hong behind him. He spoke gently, "Hong'er, you... how did you destroy this Investiture of the Gods Scroll?"
