You were tasked with assisting Di Xin, and you turned him into a Human Emperor?

"Ding dong, detected Spiritual Energy environment, System activating!"

At this very moment, a mechanical prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.

"My cheat is finally here!"

Deng Jiugong was incredibly excited.

"Ding dong, System activation successful, binding to host!"

"Ding dong, Binding successful, God-Tier Selection System activated!"

"Ding dong, Newbie Gift Pack has been issued, please check it quickly, host!"

A series of system prompts echoed in Deng Jiugong's mind, causing him to freeze.

It was actually the God-Tier Selection System!

As long as the System presented options and he made a choice, he would receive rewards.

Did this mean he was about to take off?

"Open the Newbie Gift Pack!"

Deng Jiugong said.

"Ding dong, Newbie Gift Pack opened, host obtained Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll!"

"Ding dong, Newbie Gift Pack opened, host obtained Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing Divine Ability Jade Slip!"

"Ding dong, Newbie Gift Pack opened, host obtained Time Dao Disk!"

"Ding dong, Newbie Gift Pack opened, host obtained 1 million points of Great Dao Merit!"

After a series of system prompts, Deng Jiugong was ecstatic.

First, the Pangu Divine Art was the cultivation method of Great God Pangu, encompassing both the Nine Revolutions Profound Art and the Nine Revolutions Origin Art.

In the Primordial Era, very few could cultivate it successfully. Only the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan had mastered the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, Great God Pangu's body-refining technique.

Even the Three Pure Ones had not fully mastered the Nine Revolutions Origin Art, Great God Pangu's Nascent Soul cultivation method.

The Supreme Clarity Art, Jade Clarity Art, and Upper Clarity Art that the Three Pure Ones cultivated were all derived from the Nine Revolutions Origin Art.

As for the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, during this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation period, the Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan had already perished in the Primordial Era during the Witch-Demon Calamity. The Nine Revolutions Profound Art was almost extinct. The Eight-Nine Arcane Art cultivated by the Three Pure Ones' disciples was a derivative body-refining technique of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art.

Currently, the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll Deng Jiugong obtained, although only a mortal scroll, contained both Nascent Soul and body-refining methods.

Sensing it with his mind, Deng Jiugong discovered that this Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll could only allow him to cultivate to the Mystic Immortal Realm.

Even a cultivation method that only reached the Mystic Immortal Realm was incredibly powerful for Deng Jiugong.

Perhaps it was the System's special care for him, knowing that the Pangu Divine Art was too difficult to cultivate, it had broken down a mortal scroll for him.

During the Investiture of the Gods period, the cultivation realm divisions were: Refining Essence into Qi, Qi Refining to Spirit Transformation, Refining Spirit Returning to Void, Refining Void and Merging with Dao, Earth Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal Realm, True Immortal Realm, Mystic Immortal Realm, Golden Immortal Realm, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint, Saint!

Among mortals, Deng Jiugong was already an existence with immense strength, capable of resisting Immortals and Gods.

His cultivation realm had already reached the stage of Refining Void and Merging with Dao. Among mortals, he was already in the most powerful tier.

That's right!

Despite being a mortal, Deng Jiugong possessed cultivation.

In the Investiture of the Gods period, there were very few mortals with comparable strength, such as Huang Feihu.

Even Deng Jiugong's strength was slightly superior to Huang Feihu's!

Deng Jiugong could contend with Immortals because his realm was Refining Void and Merging with Dao, only one step away from the Immortal realm. With such a small difference in cultivation, he could contend with Immortals.

However, he couldn't cross that final step. He remained a mortal general, lacking Immortal magic. When encountering an Immortal, he was at a disadvantage.

Now, Deng Jiugong had obtained the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll. Although it was only a mortal scroll, it was enough for him to step into the ranks of Immortals.

Next was the Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing Divine Ability Jade Slip from the Newbie Gift Pack!

Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing was one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Arts, a divine ability.

Upon mastering this divine ability, one could subdue dragons and use mana to control tigers.

Of course, this divine ability wasn't solely for subduing dragons and tigers. Once mastered, the power of Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing would surge, granting the strength to subdue dragons and tigers. Naturally, those weaker than dragons and tigers could be easily subdued.

However, to cultivate a divine ability, one needed at least to cultivate mana, meaning their realm must reach the Earth Immortal Realm!

Deng Jiugong was currently at the Refining Void and Merging with Dao realm. The next realm was the Earth Immortal Realm!

Then came the Time Dao Disk!

With a raise of his hand, the Time Dao Disk appeared in Deng Jiugong's palm.

Sensing it with his mind, Deng Jiugong was astonished to discover that once this Time Dao Disk was activated, it would provide a hundredfold time acceleration effect.

"This!!!"

Deng Jiugong was stunned.

Frankly speaking, he had transmigrated a bit too late. What he lacked the most was time.

After all, Grand Shang's Grand Tutor Wen Zhong had already fallen in battle. With Wen Zhong's demise, the Great Shang's destiny had begun to plummet rapidly, and the Investiture of the Gods was nearing its end.

Deng Jiugong had very limited time.

Therefore, this Time Dao Disk was of great use to him.

It wasn't about changing the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, but at the very least, he could safely pass through it without suffering the same tragic fate as in the original history.

The final reward was Great Dao Merit!

One must know that Merit was like a universal solvent in the Primordial Era; it could be used to improve both one's foundation and cultivation.

Strictly speaking, the Six Sages of the Primordial Era all attained sainthood through Merit, and they used Heavenly Dao Merit at that.

At this moment, Deng Jiugong directly obtained one million points of Great Dao Merit from the Beginner's Gift Pack, which was quite satisfying.

Personal Panel!

Name: Deng Jiugong

Cultivation Technique: Pangu Divine Art (Mortal Scroll)

Foundation: Top-Tier Acquired Root

Weapon: Crimson Copper Saber

Exotic Treasure: Time Dao Disk

Divine Ability: Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing (Pending)

Great Dao Merit: One Million Points!

Looking at his personal panel, Deng Jiugong was stunned.

In the original history, Deng Jiugong had long failed to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm precisely because his foundation was not deep enough.

Without a way to improve his foundation, he might not have been able to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm even after cultivating for another hundred years.

Even with a Top-Tier Acquired Root, it was ultimately a mortal root. If his foundation didn't improve, he would likely never be able to step into the realm of Immortals in his lifetime.

"I'll use the Great Dao Merit to improve my foundation first!"

Deng Jiugong muttered.

Immediately, he activated the Time Dao Disk, amplifying the time flow around him by a hundredfold, and consumed Great Dao Merit to improve his foundation.

Buzz!

The Great Dao Merit entered his body, quickly integrating into him, all of it used to improve his foundation.

In Deng Jiugong's perception, his foundation was rapidly improving.

Top-Tier Acquired Root!

Beginner Innate Root!

Intermediate Innate Root!

Advanced Innate Root!

Top-Tier Innate Root!

It was only at Top-Tier Innate Root that Deng Jiugong's foundation finally began to improve slowly.

In the Primordial Era, foundations were divided into Acquired Roots, Innate Roots, Innate Demon God Roots, and Chaos Demon God Roots.

Each tier was further divided into Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Top-Tier!

The further along one progressed, the harder it was to improve one's foundation.

Moreover, neither foundation nor cultivation could be infinitely improved in one go. At this moment, Deng Jiugong had only consumed one hundred thousand Great Dao Merit and had already raised his foundation to the level of Top-Tier Innate Root.

Buzz!
