Since returning to the Zixiao Palace, the Sanqing have gathered more than once, all to discuss the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods.

After the signing of the Investiture of the Gods, this calamity became very clear: the Chan and Jie Sects would be the main forces.

As for the West and the demon race, they were directly excluded.

While they were unwilling for their disciples to be on the list, they were even more unwilling for the West and the demon race to be involved.

It's true that they look down on Haotian, but the authority and rules of the Heavenly Court are real.

Given their desire for control over the Primordial World, it would be impossible for them to allow the West and the demon race to take over the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, the West is currently entangled with the Demon Race and obviously has no opportunity to intervene.

The demon race had long since fallen, and at most, some humans were added to the list, which was enough to save face for Nuwa.

In this respect, the Sanqing Ones are of one mind and there is no disagreement.

However, when it came to who from the Chan and Jie Sects would be on the list, a huge shock erupted.

The Interception Sect was known for its pilgrimage of ten thousand immortals, and its disciples numbered far more than ten thousand.

To uphold the friendship between the Sanqing, Tongtian also expressed his willingness to allow some outer disciples with shallow foundations to be included on the list.

However, this attitude was refuted by Yuanshi and Taiqing.

They believed that those disciples with shallow foundations were neither qualified nor worthy of being on the list.

Only those disciples who have received the true teachings and possess profound knowledge are qualified to be listed.

The true purpose of Taiqing and Yuanshi was not to fill the Investiture of the Gods, but to take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the Interception Sect.

If Tongtian's approach were truly followed, the Interception Sect would not only remain unaffected, but would also indirectly gain control of the Heavenly Court's fortune and authority.

Not to mention Yuanshi, even Taiqing would disagree.

But Tongtian could not possibly agree to their demands.

The attitudes of Taiqing and Yuanshi repeatedly chilled Tongtian's heart.

In the end, Tongtian compromised, allowing his inner disciples to be included on the list, but the Chan Sect also needed to have its own inner disciples on the list.

Yuanshi would naturally disagree with this.

The Sanqing Ones discussed the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods several times, but each time the discussions ended in discord because of this.

Clearly sensing the hostility between Taiqing and Yuanshi, Tongtian then decided to form an alliance with Cihang.

However, Cihang clearly did not intend this.

Although Tongtian failed to form an alliance with Cihang this time, he did ascertain Cihang's attitude.

He wasn't too disappointed with the result.

What he was really worried about was Cihang's targeting of the Interception Sect.

Tongtian had absolute confidence in facing the Chan Sect alone.

His strength was comparable to that of Yuanshi, but the Interception Sect was far superior to the Chan Sect.

Even if Taiqing were to aid Yuanshi, he was confident he could fight him.

"Now, the Sanqing Ones are only one opportunity away from turning against each other."

After seeing Tongtian off, Cihang let out a sigh.

However, this outcome was the most favorable for him.

Tongtian is right; he never intended to give up this opportunity for merit and good fortune.

Now that the Investiture of the Gods is about to be restarted, it's time for him to make his move.

A thought struck Cihang, and she began to make arrangements for the disciples of Mount Luojia, allowing them to rejoin the human race and assist many kings and nobles.

Although the Shang Dynasty had been established and nominally unified,

However, in reality, there were many other powerful kings and nobles outside of the Yin Shang.

These human forces were nominally subordinate to the Yin Shang and ruled by the Human Emperor.

In reality, however, they each ruled their own territories, establishing a series of small dynasties.

The core of this great calamity was the conferment of divine titles upon the Heavenly Court Investiture of the Gods, and also the changing of the fortunes of the human race.

It is also a suppression of Human Dao authority.

Cihang needs to do is to obtain the greatest possible fortune of the human race without harming himself.

The disciples he dispatched this time were all cultivators above the Great Luo level.

Even in the midst of a great calamity, as long as one is careful and cautious, Great Luo Realm cultivator is still capable of protecting themselves.

The Mount Luojia lineage is mainly composed of the Five-Colored Human Race.

Although they have long since separated from the human race, they still maintain extremely close ties with it.

Coupled with the prestige of the Mount Luojia lineage among the human race, these cultivators quickly gained the recognition of many kings and nobles, and became their support.

Cihang's actions did not escape the notice of those powerful individuals, nor did he need to hide them.

In fact, it wasn't just Cihang; many powerful figures in the Primordial World had already begun to make their plans.

However, they all exercised restraint and did not affect the overall situation of the Chan and Jie Sects.

They wanted to seize the Calamity Qi's fortune, not to sacrifice themselves and suffer for the cultivators of the Chan and Jie Sects.

Time passed in this calm yet turbulent atmosphere.

The Shang Dynasty also experienced several generations of Human Emperor changing hands.

One of the main characters in the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, King Zhou, has successfully ascended to the throne.

Contrary to the later portrayal of him as a foolish and incompetent ruler, King Zhou, who had just ascended the throne, could be considered a wise and benevolent monarch.

Although far from comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they still brought the Shang Dynasty to its peak.

Possessing the aura of Human Emperor, he caused many immortals and gods to retreat.

Unfortunately, even as the Human Emperor, he was still merely a mortal and could not escape the fate of being a pawn.

As the Yin Shang dynasty reached its zenith, many kings and nobles submitted to King Zhou.

As the original trajectory unfolded, with Nuwa's birthday approaching, King Zhou led a group of ministers to the Nuwa Palace.

Actually, there are some differences.

In the original course of history, the Human Teachings flourished, and thanks to the joint efforts of the Sanqing, Nuwa's prestige among the human race greatly diminished, and she was even forgotten.

But things are different now. Now Nuwa is above the Three Sovereigns and is the sole supreme ruler of the human race.

In order to gather the power of all living beings, Nuwa often manifested her divine power.

Nuwa Palace is a popular place of worship, attracting not only human pilgrims but also a large number of cultivators.

As human beings, no one dared to act recklessly in the Nuwa Palace, including King Zhou, who had already become the Human Emperor.

No one could have imagined that something unexpected would happen in the Nuwa Palace.

But the unexpected still happened.

Just as King Zhou stepped into the Empress Wa's Palace, a hidden figure appeared.

It was Zhunti had already been reincarnated.

However, at this moment Zhunti was not at the level of a saint, but only at the Taiyi realm.

However, possessing the mindset and insights of the Saint Realm, even with cultivation only at the Taiyi realm, he is still far superior to ordinary cultivators.

None of the immortals and gods in the Nuwa Palace discovered any trace of her.

No, it's not that no one noticed.

Cihang, who had been keeping a close eye on this place, immediately detected Zhunti's aura.

He was initially curious about how this tribulation would begin.

Although King Zhou was merely a mortal, he possessed the aura of Human Emperor, making it impossible for ordinary immortals and gods to get close to him, let alone affect his sanity.

Now that I see Zhunti, everything is clear.

Cihang did not intend to intervene, but simply watched as Zhunti his methods of salvation to influence King Zhou.

As was originally intended, he picked up his pen and wrote a couplet that was extremely offensive.

King Zhou's actions instantly shocked the court officials and countless immortals and gods in the Nuwa Palace.
