No one would be foolish enough to try and seize the List of Deities.

After all, the List of Deities couldn't directly increase a powerful individual's strength. It was more of a symbol, a symbol belonging to the Lord of the Heavenly Court.

In the past, the Heavenly Court lacked sufficient deities, which led to the birth of Calamities in the world, allowing the Heavenly Court to become the true governing power of this realm.

And now, Haotian had accomplished this.

However, this was not how Haotian had envisioned it. Despite being the Lord of the Heavenly Court, Haotian could do nothing about it.

Therefore, he had merely placed the List of Deities on the Investiture Altar, not keeping it by his side.

Suddenly.

"Buzz... buzz..."

The opened List of Deities began to hum, and wisps of light spread out from it, growing brighter and more intense.

Characters floated out from the List of Deities.

Dou Mu Yuan Jun, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Wen Zhong, Qin Wan... these were names inscribed on the List of Deities.

These names represented their respective true spirit imprints.

Their true spirit imprints were bound to the List of Deities, granting them immortality, but at the cost of their freedom.

"This..."

"How could this happen? What's going on?"

The surrounding Heavenly Soldiers on guard were shocked. They were powerless against the changes in the List of Deities.

They lacked the ability to suppress the turmoil of the List of Deities.

Furthermore, the List of Deities was not something they were qualified to touch.

"Quick, hurry and report to His Majesty! Tell His Majesty that the List of Deities is acting strangely," a general shouted to a Heavenly Soldier.

"Yes, General," the Heavenly Soldier replied.

Just as the Heavenly Soldier was about to leave, a faint voice echoed, and a man in magnificent attire appeared in the heavens and earth.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," the surrounding Heavenly Soldiers and Generals knelt respectfully, not daring to look down.

Because they had discovered something that shocked them.

This time, it wasn't an avatar of the Jade Emperor who had arrived, but the Jade Emperor himself.

This Heavenly General understood the Lord of the Heavenly Court somewhat, especially regarding the management of the List of Deities.

"You may go," Haotian said calmly. "I will handle this here."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this subordinate takes his leave." The general waved his hand and led the Heavenly Soldiers to retreat slowly.

As they left, these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals did not raise their heads, departing with their gazes lowered.

"List of Deities," Haotian stood in mid-air, watching the changes in the List of Deities.

He had to admit that even he couldn't grasp the current changes occurring within the List of Deities.

"What exactly has happened?" Haotian's gaze sharpened.

It was foreseeable that such a change in the List of Deities must signify that something significant had occurred.

"Boom! Boom..."

An astonishing tremor suddenly erupted from the List of Deities.

Two characters transformed into white light and detached themselves from the List of Deities, vanishing in an instant before Haotian's eyes.

The List of Deities then slowly returned to its calm state.

"How is this possible?" Haotian's expression changed, his eyes widening in disbelief at what he had just witnessed.

"Someone who was to be invested has escaped from the List of Deities!" Haotian gasped.

This was truly an inconceivable event.

It had never happened before, and Haotian had never imagined it could.

After all, the List of Deities was, to some extent, a product of the Calamity of the world.

To escape from it would require a power capable of resisting the Heavenly Dao.

"Those two names just now were Yunxiao and Qiongxiao," Haotian mused, his gaze thoughtful. "Is this due to the future Calamity? Or is it some other issue?"

Haotian recalled the incident not long ago when Ksitigarbha had attacked Spirit Mountain, an event that had also been extremely shocking.

"Rumble..."

A deafening roar suddenly erupted across the heavens and earth, and a terrifying aura made even Haotian tremble.

It was the power of heaven and earth, the tribulation of the world.

This was the punishment for escaping the List of Deities.

Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Dark clouds stretched for tens of millions of miles, within which lightning crackled incessantly.

The power of heaven and earth was gathering.

Heaven and earth were about to unleash a lightning punishment.

Many Quasi-Saint powerhouses also sensed this terrifying aura.

A heavenly lightning tribulation.

This was something that hadn't happened in ages.

Could a Quasi-Saint cause such a disturbance? It was probably only possible for a Saint, as the legends said.

Huoyun Cave, Spirit Mountain, Heavenly Court, Wuzhuang Temple, the Northern Sea, the Netherworld Blood Sea...

Countless Quasi-Saint powerhouses turned their gazes over.

They wanted to see who exactly was causing these changes in heaven and earth.

However, because the scope of this lightning tribulation was too vast, even those Quasi-Saint powerhouses couldn't discover in a short time that it was happening on Flower-Fruit Mountain.

And above Flower-Fruit Mountain.

In the sky covered by dark clouds, a massive eye slowly opened.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

That was the true tribulation of heaven and earth.

It could be said that even a Saint couldn't make the Heavenly Dao possess such an attack and reaction.

Immediately after, the Eye of Heavenly Dao's gaze fell upon the General Store.

The Heavenly Dao could sense that the power interfering with the List of Deities was emanating from within.

"So..."

"Crack..."

Chapter Fifty: I, Heavenly Dao, Am Running Away!

"Crack..."

On the colossal Eye of Heavenly Punishment, cracks began to appear, like glass.

These cracks gradually grew larger.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao, with only a sliver of consciousness, was instantly stunned.

How had it sustained such heavy damage?

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao had a feeling that if the power had been even slightly stronger, it would have been killed.

This made the colossal Eye of Heavenly Punishment blink, then look at the General Store below.

It understood.

It must be the power from that building below; there was a terrifying existence more powerful than itself within.

Immediately after, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment's reaction was completely unexpected. It directly closed its eye and slowly disappeared from this world.

The dark clouds that had covered tens of millions of miles also rapidly vanished.

As for the so-called tribulation.

Don't be ridiculous. If it was weaker than the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't hesitate and would directly attack.

But if there was an existence stronger than itself, it would wish it could grovel. Fortunately, the current, bewildered Heavenly Dao didn't have such awareness.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao might have actually gone to grovel.

Through the brief contact just now, the Heavenly Dao understood that the gap in strength between itself and that being was like heaven and earth.

As for all these events, Wu Feng, who was currently in the General Store, was completely unaware.

At the same time.

Those Quasi-Saint overlords who were paying attention to this heavenly tribulation were also completely bewildered.
