Four Sages Vie for the Investiture of the Gods

At this moment, seeing the Investiture of the Gods, the faces of the two from the West and Yuanshi turned ugly again.

Even before the Great Tribulation, some of their disciples had already ended up on the list!

What an insult!

"The Investiture of the Gods shall be kept by one of you!"

Hongjun said directly after taking out the Investiture of the Gods.

The Investiture of the Gods was a crucial part of the Great Tribulation, which was why Hongjun brought it out, so that the Great Tribulation could proceed as planned.

When Hongjun took out the Investiture of the Gods, all the Saints except Tongtian had their eyes drawn to it, and they began to ponder how to obtain it.

After all, as long as one obtained the Investiture of the Gods, there would be nothing but benefits when the Great Tribulation arrived.

Even though they all knew the benefits, it wasn't that easy to get their hands on it!

Upon seeing the Investiture of the Gods, even Taishang's eyes showed desire.

Perhaps, only Nuwa and Tongtian showed no desire for the divine list among them.

Even if Nuwa held the Investiture of the Gods, it wouldn't be of much help to her, as she only had one disciple. She felt no fear of the Great Tribulation at all.

As for Tongtian, he already knew that Hongjun would hand the Investiture of the Gods over to Yuanshi.

Therefore, he had no aspirations for the Investiture of the Gods either.

Hongjun naturally knew their thoughts, and he glanced at them faintly.

Hongjun wasn't in a hurry to speak. At this moment, everyone except Tongtian was getting impatient.

Taishang immediately spoke, expressing his sincerity, "The Investiture of the Gods is best kept by me. My sect has fewer people, and I'll even send one of my three corpses to the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Therefore, entrusting the Investiture of the Gods to me is the best option!"

"Moreover, this would be the fairest!"

Upon hearing Taishang's words, Yuanshi chuckled hypocritically and said, "Brother, what you said is not right."

"Your sect only has two people. If you keep the Investiture of the Gods, will it just be for decoration?"

"It's different for me. After all, my sect has many disciples, so its use would naturally be greater."

Taishang's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and he replied, "Giving it to you would be wrong. That would be completely unfair and unjust."

"In that case, what about the Intercepting Sect and the Western Teachings?"

Hearing this, Yuanshi said with a fake smile, "You can completely trust me on this. I will definitely maintain fairness and justice!"

Hahaha!

It was truly remarkable that Yuanshi could say something so insincere with such a sincere expression.

Even Hongjun found his words to be utterly false.

Now, he was even flattering and guaranteeing it. It was likely that as soon as he got his hands on it, he wouldn't be able to resist dealing with the Intercepting Sect.

Shouldn't Tongtian also come forward to contend for it at this point?

The Two Western Saints were waiting for Tongtian to make a move before they made their next plan.

However, they seemed to be disappointed. After a long while, Tongtian still showed no intention of contending for it.

At this moment, all the Saints were filled with questions.

What was wrong with Tongtian today?

Was he really going to let this opportunity pass?

Meanwhile, Tongtian watched them fight with a cold smile.

At this moment, the Two Western Saints couldn't hold back any longer.

"Master, giving the Investiture of the Gods to me is the best option!"

"After all, the Western Teachings' strength is too low, and we have no power at all."

"Therefore, entrusting the Investiture of the Gods to the Western Teachings will perfectly maintain the balance between the three major sects!"

Zhunti said. If Tongtian wasn't going to fight for it, they certainly would.

Hearing Zhunti's words, Jieyin also chimed in, "What Zhunti said is absolutely correct!"

"The Western Teachings is the weakest of the three major sects. Without the help of the Investiture of the Gods, we definitely won't be able to survive the Great Tribulation!"

"By then, my Western Teachings will cease to exist!"

After saying this, Jieyin put on a show of fake tears.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Taishang both laughed.

Couldn't survive?

Cease to exist?

Heh heh heh, no matter how terrifying the Great Tribulation was, the two of them, as Saints, would certainly be fine. In that case, the Western Teachings would definitely endure.

What the Two Western Saints said was a joke!

At this very moment, the four individuals who had spoken up to seize the Investiture of the Gods exchanged glances, each contemplating how to get their hands on it.

Undoubtedly, whoever obtained the Investiture of the Gods would have a much greater chance of victory during the Great Tribulation.

Furthermore, if any of their disciples were already on the list, perhaps there was a way to...

...avoid being listed!

It was precisely for this reason that they all desired the Investiture of the Gods!

Next, it all depended on what their masters thought.

Watching the four of them scramble for the Investiture of the Gods like clowns, Nuwa observed with an air of detachment.

At this moment, she glanced at Tongtian, a hint of surprise flickering across her face.

Did Tongtian have no desire for the Investiture of the Gods at all?

Was he not competing for it, or had he already understood the outcome?

Tongtian watched the four of them engage in their deceitful schemes to obtain the list, as if he were watching a play.

Let them scramble however they wished; it had nothing to do with him anyway.

Besides, he already knew the outcome and saw no need to fight for it.

Tongtian already knew that the Investiture of the Gods would ultimately belong to Jiang Ziya.

Even without the divine list, I can still firmly suppress the Western Teachings and the Heavenly Origin Sect!

It's like playing a game where you already know all the ways to win, but no one else does. Wouldn't you be incredibly powerful then? Watching them, each speaking in turn, while Nuwa and Tongtian showed no interest, Hongjun looked at them and spoke again, "There is one more matter. The Great Tribulation requires the appearance of a Tribulation Responder!"

"But as of now, this person has not yet appeared!"

"The Investiture of the Gods belongs to him!"

Hearing Hongjun's words, did all their efforts in fighting for so long amount to nothing?

The Tribulation Responder was the one who would successfully obtain the Investiture of the Gods!

However, they still had a chance!

As long as the Tribulation Responder was someone from their sect, wouldn't that suffice?

Thus, their minds began to burn with renewed fervor. The Great Tribulation was imminent, and the heavenly secrets were obscured, so no matter how they calculated, they had no way of knowing who the Tribulation Responder was.

Since they couldn't figure it out, Yuanshi directly asked his master, "How can we determine if someone is the Tribulation Responder?"

Hongjun understood what they were thinking: "There will be celestial phenomena signifying the event, and at that time, the Tribulation Responder will appear!"

With that, Hongjun said no more.

At this moment, the four Saints' heads were spinning.

Celestial phenomena?

Even with this piece of information, it was useless!

How could they possibly discern which individual it was?
