Resetting the Investiture of the Gods
Hongjun's anger increased the already tense atmosphere among the crowd.
All the saints simultaneously showed expressions of fear.
Even though Hongjun never attacked them, they felt as if they were facing the Heavenly Dao when they faced Hongjun.
The idea that saints are immortal is relative.
Hongjun was precisely the being that could threaten their lives.
Because of the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, once Hongjun attacks them, they have no chance to resist.
How could they not be careful and respectful when facing Hongjun?
"I hope the teacher will forgive us. The great calamity in the space-time was indeed caused by our selfishness!"
After returning this time, I will definitely strictly discipline my disciples.
No more reckless behavior!
The saints almost simultaneously admitted their mistakes.
"Fine, I originally wanted to give you a chance."
But if you are unwilling to do so, then I will set my own rules!
Hongjun's anger flashed by, and he returned to calm.
It wasn't that he believed in the saints, but rather that he had already made up his mind.
With a wave of his hand, the Investiture of the Gods flew out of the Heavenly Court and appeared in Hongjun's hand.
"The Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods was to reduce the calamity Calamity Qi."
To prevent the great calamity from spiraling out of control again, you shall all sign the Investiture of the Gods right here in the Zixiao Palace!
Hongjun unfolded the Investiture of the Gods, upon which were branded the positions of the Heavenly Court deities.
These divine positions are now empty, awaiting the signatures of the saints.
Looking at the Investiture of the Gods, the expressions of the saints below were not good.
For cultivators, the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods is an inescapable constraint.
Moreover, signing the Investiture of the Gods doesn't guarantee a divine position.
It requires a contest of strength and luck.
Even if the positions of gods in the Heavenly Court are not favored by the saints, not every cultivator can obtain them.
None of the sages spoke, their expressions inscrutable as they gazed at the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods.
Hongjun did not urge them; whether they wanted it or not, there had to be a result today.
Luohu let out a sneer, breaking the silence of the hall and drawing everyone's attention.
"My demon race was reborn due to the Calamity Qi, so we should not be included in the list of Investiture of the Gods."
"However, if you don't mind, I can fill up this Investiture of the Gods."
As he spoke, Luohu channeled his magic power and fingertips, preparing to inscribe the true names of the demon cultivators on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods.
"Wait a minute, the demon race is not included in the Investiture of the Gods, so naturally they don't need to sign the Investiture of the Gods!"
Hongjun waved his hand, interrupting Luohu.
If the demons were truly granted Investiture of the Gods, the world would likely descend into even greater chaos.
"Okay, it's not that I'm unwilling to cooperate!"
Luohu nonchalantly withdrew his magic, continuing to display an expression of watching the show.
Seeing that Hongjun had stopped Luohu, all the saints breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were unwilling to sign the Investiture of the Gods, they also did not want the demons to take over the Heavenly Court.
"Dao Ancestor, all of Zhenyuanzi's disciples are Earthly Immortal, and therefore cannot be included in the Investiture of the Gods!"
Zhenyuanzi then spoke, simultaneously summoning the Earth Book, which echoed the Investiture of the Gods.
The two seem to originate from the same source, yet they are also mutually opposed and exclusive.
"Can!"
Hongjun had no way to refute it, nor did he intend to stop it.
It was Heaven's Dao that wanted to suppress the Earthly Dao, not Zhen Zhenyuanzi.
"The Netherworld Underworld claims to be a unified entity and is not included in the Investiture of the Gods!"
Compared to Zhenyuanzi, Houtu is more powerful.
She didn't mention the Witch Race because it was completely unnecessary.
The Witch Race does not cultivate the primordial spirit; their true spirit merges with their physical spirit, and they are not affected by the Investiture of the Gods.
Moreover, the Witch Race is born with the power of bloodline laws, making them natural-born deities.
However, it is not within the Heavenly Court system.
Hongjun also agreed with Houtu's words.
Then Hongjun looked at Cihang and the Five Saints of Heaven.
"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the tribulation of my Mount Luojia lineage has passed!"
And it continues to accumulate good fortune and merit!
He is not among those appointed to the Investiture of the Gods!
Seeing that the saints had not yet made a move, Cihang stepped forward and spoke.
Cihang finished speaking, the saints wanted to stop her, but they had nothing to say.
They could only watch as Hongjun accepted Cihang's explanation.
Yuanshi and Zhunti, in particular, looked even more unwell.
In this way, the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods once again became a struggle among the Heavenly Dao Sage.
As Hongjun's gaze fell upon them once more, all the sages stepped forward and left their names on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods.
Unlike Luohu and Cihang Houtu, they had no way to avoid it.
Cihang discovered that although they had all signed the Investiture of the Gods, there were still differences among them.
The most signatures were obtained from the Tongtian Temple.
Although these disciples of the Interception Sect did not receive the true teachings, they all possessed extraordinary strength.
Clearly, Tongtian had given it careful consideration and hadn't done anything too ugly.
Compared to Tongtian, Taiqing and Yuanshi are only known by a few unfamiliar names.
It's clear that this was a very perfunctory effort.
Even the Jieyin to the Investiture of the Gods left behind many Western cultivators.
Jieyin was not so resistant to the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.
For some disciples whose potential is nearing its end, the Heavenly Court is clearly a good place to go.
After all, not every cultivator can make it to the end.
This would also allow the West to have a certain say in the Heavenly Court.
Nuwa also signed the Investiture of the Gods.
Although she did not establish a religion, she was the ruler of the demon race and the Holy Mother of the Human Race.
The selected individuals included not only demons but also humans.
Looking at the familiar clans on the Investiture of the Gods, Cihang couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
The situation in the Primordial World had long since deviated from its original course.
But now, in a way that surprised everyone, it has returned to its original trajectory.
But given all these changes, will this calamity of becoming Investiture of the Gods still have the original ending?
"Alright, now that the Investiture of the Gods has been signed, you can all go back!"
Remember, in this tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods, you must not act recklessly!
Hongjun naturally noticed the shared attitude of the group.
But he didn't care.
The Investiture of the Gods has been signed; whatever the outcome, they themselves must bear the consequences.
The group bid farewell to Hongjun once more and left Zixiao Palace together.
As she was leaving, Nuwa looked at Cihang as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, ultimately not speaking to stop her.
Cihang completely ignored it, acting as if she hadn't discovered anything.
Although he had his own private affairs, his help to Nuwa was no less than that to Houtu.
But when he was in danger, he never saw Nuwa.
Since we have different paths, there's no need for us to become close friends.
In this revision of the Investiture of the Gods, he has effectively protected the disciples of the Mount Luojia lineage.
The great calamity to come will still be centered on the Eastern Continent.
I just don't know how this will unfold.
Although the cultivators of the Mount Luojia lineage are not included in the Investiture of the Gods, they are not entirely uninvolved.
After all, he still planned to use this great calamity to break through his current realm.
Moreover, he was not alone in having such plans.
Although Primordial World were no Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, there were quite a few Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
Among them are even some powerful beings who existed since the beginning of time.
Because he has always lived in seclusion, he is not well known to the general public.
No one knows their trump card or their true strength.
Cihang didn't dare to be careless either, as his opponent was no pushover either.
Especially Luohu, who gave him a sense of unfathomable depth.
