Investiture of the Gods!

Ying Hao gazed at the churning cosmos, the commotion this time even greater than when he had slain two Supreme Beings previously.

He wasn't surprised by this, for the words "Heavenly Court" held such power.

The history of the Heavenly Court was untraceable, but in this universe, it originated from the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Back then, the Desolate Heaven Emperor was undergoing his Immortal King tribulation and encountered an Immortal King slaughter, accidentally drifting to this universe.

With his memory lost, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, relying on instinct, established the Heavenly Court and opened the Immortal Ascension Path.

It was also at that time that the Desolate Heaven Emperor left behind the Desolate Pagoda and the Bronze Immortal Palace, two Immortal Artifacts.

He even suspected that Cao Yusheng's drifting to this universe might also be related to the Desolate Heaven Emperor.

Even after countless eons, the Desolate Heaven Emperor still held a profound influence over their universe.

The Immortal Ascension Path went without saying; the Supreme Beings self-amputating their cultivation and sealing themselves in the Forbidden Zones were all waiting for the Immortal Ascension Path to open.

The Heavenly Court was the same, possessing an extraordinary magic that made countless powerhouses, past and present, wary.

Great Emperors were already invincible in the world. Logically, establishing a Heavenly Court again should not have been difficult.

But over the long years, why was it that only Emperor Zun re-established the Heavenly Court?

In fact, as far as he knew, it wasn't that no one else tried to re-establish the Heavenly Court, but they never lasted long, encountering all sorts of accidents.

Over time, the Heavenly Court became a taboo, something even Great Emperors dared not touch lightly.

"The destiny of the heavens!" Ying Hao thought to himself.

The words "Heavenly Court" were no simple matter; they were connected to supreme powerhouses and could gather the destiny of the heavens.

Destiny was mysterious and intangible, yet it existed.

Those who could become Great Emperors all possessed great destiny, but compared to the Heavenly Court, it was insignificant.

The destiny of the Heavenly Court was immense; if one could not bear it, even a Great Emperor would perish halfway.

But if one could withstand this great destiny, they would ascend to the heavens like the Desolate Heaven Emperor of old, traversing all epochs.

After the Desolate Heaven Emperor, Emperor Zun was actually the person with the greatest hope of succeeding, but unfortunately, he fell short in the end.

Although Emperor Zun did not die, he abandoned the Heavenly Court and retreated behind the scenes, having lost the destiny of the heavens.

This perhaps also laid the groundwork for Emperor Zun's future failure!

Now that he was re-establishing the Heavenly Court, he wondered what Emperor Zun's reaction would be upon hearing the news.

Perhaps Emperor Zun would dismiss it with a smile, not taking it seriously at all, and continue to scheme his world-shattering plans.

But Emperor Zun would never know what opportunity he had missed!

Abandoning the Heavenly Court to achieve himself would be Emperor Zun's most mistaken choice.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for possessing unparalleled talent and becoming the Lord of the Heavenly Court, achieving the 'Heavenly Emperor Suppressing the World' achievement. Reward: Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods!"

Ying Hao was slightly stunned. The system actually rewarded him with the Investiture of the Gods?

Before this, he had completed several system tasks and achieved some accomplishments.

But the system had only rewarded him with pills, divine abilities, or Innate Spiritual Roots. This was the first time the system had rewarded him with a magical artifact.

He had naturally heard of the Investiture of the Gods; it was the Heavenly Book among the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, a supreme treasure.

But this was the Veil of Heaven world; did the Investiture of the Gods still possess its heaven-defying effects?

After eagerly claiming the system reward, a surge of information flooded his mind.

The divine ability Heaven and Earth Manifestation, once unleashed, could mimic the scale of heaven and earth, becoming as tall as the heavens and as vast as the earth.

Without a doubt, this was a peerless divine ability, on par with the Five-Colored Divine Light in terms of its tier.

Now, with just a thought, his body could instantly grow tens of thousands of feet tall, making stars appear minuscule beneath his feet.

This was a manifestation of Great Emperor might, not that his physical body was actually growing so large. It could be considered a Dharma Body, condensed from energy.

But Heaven and Earth Manifestation was different; once this divine ability was mastered, his own body could become as tall as heaven and earth.

In this state, both his physical strength and might would be greatly enhanced.

This was equivalent to a tenfold increase in his combat power, demonstrating how astonishing this divine ability was.

To put it bluntly, like the Five-Colored Divine Light, Heaven and Earth Manifestation could definitely become one of his trump cards.

However, this divine ability was extremely difficult to master and would not be accomplished overnight.

Afterward, he looked at the scroll in his hand, which was precisely the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods.

With a thought, information about the Investiture of the Gods appeared in his mind, giving him a detailed understanding of this magical artifact.

As the name suggested, the Investiture of the Gods possessed the power to enfeoff deities, capable of inscribing the names of three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods.

Once a name was on the Investiture of the Gods, one would be bound by it, and their life and death could be decided with a single thought.

Besides the binding, there were naturally benefits. The Investiture of the Gods was a sacred artifact of the Heavenly Dao, possessing the power to condense destiny.

Once on the Investiture of the Gods, one would be blessed with destiny. The higher the divine position one was enfeoffed, the stronger the destiny bestowed upon them.

The benefits of destiny would not immediately manifest, but over the long term, they would have unimaginable effects.

When cultivating, one achieves twice the result with half the effort. Breakthroughs feel divinely aided, encounters are frequent, and misfortune turns into good fortune.

Besides luck, the Investiture of the Gods can also protect those on the list, ensuring their souls remain indestructible.

In other words, as long as one is on the Investiture of the Gods, even if they die unexpectedly, they can reconstruct their physical body using the soul imprinted on the list.

"But this is the Veil of Heaven world!" Ying Hao murmured to himself.

It had to be said that the effects of the Investiture of the Gods were incredibly powerful, but all of this had a prerequisite.

In the Great Desolation world, the Investiture of the Gods possessed Heavenly Dao Authority and was bound to the Heavenly Court, which allowed it to have all sorts of miraculous effects.

However, in the Veil of Heaven world, the Investiture of the Gods lacked the blessing of Heavenly Dao Authority, and the Heavenly Court here was not the Heavenly Court of the Great Desolation world.

"If I can combine the Investiture of the Gods with the Heavenly Dao Record..."

A thought flickered through Ying Hao's mind, and a possibility dawned on him, immediately invigorating his spirits and giving him hope.

Luck was easy to solve; the Heavenly Court could condense luck, and the Investiture of the Gods could serve as a supreme treasure to suppress it.

Although the Great Desolation world evolved by the Heavenly Dao Record was still in its nascent stage, the Primordial Violet Qi already possessed a certain power of the Heavenly Dao.

Through their combination, he might truly be able to bestow godhood in the Heavenly Court!

Even if the effect was poor now, as long as he worked hard, it wasn't impossible for the Investiture of the Gods to exert its true power.

"It seems I need to make the Heavenly Dao Record evolve as soon as possible!"

The Heavenly Dao Record was a supreme treasure crafted with great effort, and it had undergone transformation in the Immortal Ascension Path, imprinting Dao Traces from the Primordial Ancient Stars.

However, in terms of its level, the Heavenly Dao Record was merely an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, which undoubtedly restricted the evolution of the Great Desolation world.

After living his second life, he had advanced further, his strength now approaching the Heavenly Emperor level.

At this level, he was qualified to forge Immortal Artifacts!

Once the Heavenly Dao Record transformed into an Immortal Artifact, the Great Desolation world could continue to evolve, becoming more complete and vast.

At that time, he could attempt to bestow godhood and see how much efficacy the Investiture of the Gods could display in the Veil of Heaven world.
