Investiture of the Gods, Counterfeit

Zhang Jiao leaned closer to Liu Bing and asked, "Mister, if our Yellow Turban Army doesn't participate in killing enemies, can we still get rewards?"

Since he couldn't get a chance to kill, would there still be rewards?

Those seeds were too important, he didn't want to give them up. So he needed to ask if there would still be rewards if he didn't kill.

"Yes, as long as you come to this world and do what you can, you will get something."

Those seeds were something Liu Bing could get as many as he wanted. So he didn't mind giving a little more.

"Then thank you, Mister." Zhang Jiao cupped his hands towards Liu Bing and bowed, expressing his gratitude.

Liu Bing waved his hand and looked at Zhang Jiao's pale face and extremely weak appearance, asking, "Have you already severed the Han Dynasty's destiny?"

"Yes." Zhang Jiao nodded.

Over there, Liu Che, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing, who were discussing with other emperors about where to deploy their troops, heard the conversation and their eyes immediately sharpened as they looked at Zhang Jiao.

Liu Che hadn't paid attention to Zhang Jiao at first. After all, he hadn't expected to actually encounter Zhang Jiao. And at that time, he had already been distracted by Qianlong.

Later, he was busy assembling his army and preparing for the mission, so he hadn't paid attention to the new group member called General of Heaven. He didn't expect this General of Heaven to actually be that Taiping Daoist Zhang Jiao who severed the Han Dynasty's final destiny!

Liu Che walked over with a grim expression, his eyes fixed on Zhang Jiao like knives.

"You are Zhang Jiao?" Liu Che's voice carried endless pressure and anger, "The Zhang Jiao who cut off my Han Dynasty's final destiny?"

Facing Liu Che's questioning, Zhang Jiao appeared exceptionally calm. He smiled slightly and slowly said, "This humble Daoist is indeed Zhang Jiao. Greetings, Your Majesty Martial Emperor."

With that, Zhang Jiao bowed to Liu Che, showing respect.

Zhang Jiao was very respectful towards Emperor Wu of Han. After all, he wasn't a true traitor. He simply couldn't bear to see the common people suffer and wanted to find a way out for them.

The Han Dynasty he lived in was already terminally ill, unlike the Han Dynasty during Emperor Wu of Han's reign.

If he had been born during Emperor Wu of Han's reign, perhaps he wouldn't have been so tired.

Seeing Zhang Jiao bow, Liu Che snorted coldly. He sized Zhang Jiao up and down, seeing his haggard face and thin frame, looking as fragile as a candle in the wind.

"Hmph!" Liu Che mocked, "To sever my Han Dynasty's destiny, you must have paid a great price."

Zhang Jiao didn't get angry upon hearing this. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face. He nodded gently, agreeing with Liu Che's statement.

Indeed, to sever the Han Dynasty's final destiny, he had sacrificed all his lifespan.

Zhang Jiao turned his gaze to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing standing beside him and bowed again, saying, "Greetings to both generals."

As he spoke, he reached into his robes and took out a pill that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.

When Zhang Jiao learned that Liu Che was among those executing the mission, he had specifically prepared this pill. Although it couldn't extend one's life, it could quickly nourish the body and ensure good health at critical moments.

He also felt great pity for the young general Huo Qubing.

He offered the pill to Huo Qubing, saying, "General, please accept this pill. It might be useful in the future."

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Huo Qubing coldly looked at the pill Zhang Jiao offered, wanting to swat it to the ground. This person was the one who had ended the Han Dynasty's final destiny.

As one of the twin pillars of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing's loyalty to the Han Dynasty was unquestionable. At this moment, Zhang Jiao was an enemy to him. How could he possibly accept something from such an enemy?

Liu Che knew Huo Qubing's stubborn and fiery nature, so he unhesitatingly stepped forward and quickly took the pill from Zhang Jiao's hand.

Liu Che couldn't access the group mall at the moment, and the pills sold by Liu Bing were too advanced and expensive for him to afford.

If he couldn't find a way to ensure Huo Qubing's health, then this SSR-rank general would be hard-pressed to avoid his historical fate, disappearing like a fleeting meteor after shining brightly in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Liu Che accepted the pill. Then he checked it through the chat group.

[Body Strengthening Pill: Meticulously refined using various precious nourishing medicinal ingredients, it has the effect of nourishing the body and enhancing the body's immunity.]

Liu Che nodded with great satisfaction. This medicine was good and perfect for Huo Qubing.

He said to Zhang Jiao, "In consideration of this pill, I will not pursue the matter of you severing my Han Dynasty's destiny."

With that, Liu Che handed the pill to Huo Qubing and instructed, "Qu Bing, you must keep this medicine safe. It will be of great use in the future."

Liu Bing, watching the exchange between Liu Che and Zhang Jiao, slightly curved his lips. As long as they didn't fight, it was fine.

Next, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Daoist Zhang Jiao, do you wish for the people of the world to live better lives?"

Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up and he replied without hesitation, "Naturally! My lifelong pursuit is to save the world's common people from suffering. I just don't know what brilliant plan Mister has?"

However, soon, the excitement on Zhang Jiao's face diminished somewhat, replaced by deep melancholy and helplessness.

He slowly shook his head and sighed softly, "Alas... my life is nearing its end, and I fear I cannot personally complete it. However, my brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang can inherit my will and fulfill Mister's request."

As he spoke, he casually pulled the brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who were behind him, to the front, as if wanting to introduce them to Liu Bing.

Liu Bing could see that Zhang Jiao had at most two or three months left to live, but with him here, Zhang Jiao wouldn't die.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

As Liu Bing spoke, he took out a scroll that resembled an imperial decree.

This item was the Investiture of the Gods.

Of course, it wasn't the genuine article, but a replica.

However, the person who made this replica was Haotian himself, so it lacked none of the effects the Investiture of the Gods should have.

Of course, this thing is a replica after all and cannot be used in Hong Huang, only in worlds outside of Hong Huang.

The Investiture of the Gods is the Heavenly Court Group's base, and there cannot be a second one in Hong Huang.

Liu Bing opened the Investiture of the Gods, then introduced its basic functions, and then said: "I will record you on my Investiture of the Gods first. As long as the Investiture of the Gods is not destroyed, you will not die. When the time comes and there is a cultivation method, I will remove you from the Investiture of the Gods. At that time, you will still be able to cultivate."

"Mister, can I also be on the Investiture of the Gods?" Before Zhang Jiao could speak, Liu Che couldn't help but ask. Upon hearing that the Investiture of the Gods could make people immortal, he was immediately tempted.

"Hmm, are you sure? If you are on the Investiture of the Gods, you won't be able to earn points. Being on the Investiture of the Gods is equivalent to being my person, and all the points and national fortune obtained can only be controlled by me." Liu Bing glanced at Liu Che and the emperors who had gathered around after hearing his introduction to the Investiture of the Gods, and explained calmly.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author, maybe it's just been renamed!
