Star Dou and the First Discussion of Investiture of the Gods

The birth of Luohu completely shocked all cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness, and the fear of being dominated by the demon race and Luohu once again took hold of their hearts.

Many cultivators no longer cared about propriety or face, and were even more unaware of the rules. Some came to the Heavenly Court clamoring to see the Six Emperors and the Holy Venerable, while many others directly requested to see Donghua.

Some cultivators also came to Kunlun Mountain, Golden Ao Island, and the Taishang Daoist Temple Taixuan Mountain, where all sorts of bizarre things happened frequently.

This shows that the fearsome reputation of the Demon Ancestor Luohu can indeed stop children from crying at night.

But regardless, the once peaceful Primordial Wilderness is now in turmoil!

Donghua ignored those who came to the Heavenly Court seeking help and determined to eliminate demons, and simply persuaded them to leave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fight Luohu, but that he couldn't find Luohu, and he wanted to kill Luohu more than anyone else.

Judging from the commotion caused by Luohu's birth that day, his cultivation had already broken through to the sixth level of Hun Yuan Primordial Chaos Realm, and his strength was above mine. It would be best if I could strike first.

Having just returned, Luohu must be in a weakened state; he is absolutely confident he can defeat him.

However, after experiencing two failures, Luohu became wiser and, upon his birth, did not flaunt it but instead hid himself away.

After Luohu was born, Donghua went to the Nine Nether Demonic Realm, but he couldn't find any trace of him. He even searched the entire Primordial Wilderness, but still couldn't find him.

According to his speculation, Luohu must have left the Primordial Wilderness and was lurking in the chaos, familiarizing himself with his own power.

"Letting things take their natural course is fine too!"

"However, we still need to plan ahead; Luohu is not one to be complacent."

Donghua murmured something, then left the Heaven Realm and arrived in Chen Du, the capital of the human race.

"I wonder what important matter brings the Great Heavenly Venerate here?"

Fuxi personally poured tea for Donghua, and the two sat facing each other. Time seemed to have returned to the time when they sat in the Purple Mansion of the East Sea, where they often discussed the Dao.

In fact, Donghua didn't want to come to Fuxi at this time, or rather, he wanted Fuxi to come to him.

This time, the purpose is the Star Dou Great Formation, which was originally discussed with Nuwa to return chaos to its original state. It is also to establish a natural barrier for the Primordial Wilderness world and protect Primordial Wilderness.

Whether it was because Fuxi was patient or because he was too busy, he hadn't come to see Donghua, so he had to go in person.

"The spiritual energy of the Primordial Wilderness has now recovered to that of ancient times, but with the squandering of cultivators, it will inevitably decline one day. Therefore, I have come today for the Star Dou Great Formation."

"I intend to set up the Star Dou Great Formation in the Starry Sky, transforming chaos into the primordial state, using the Primordial Wilderness Star Dou Great Array as a barrier to protect the safety of the Primordial Wilderness!"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi fell silent, a rare occurrence. Nuwa had indeed mentioned this matter to him, originally intending it as a backup plan for his Attain Hunyuan Dao.

Unexpectedly, his path to enlightenment went very smoothly. He caught a good opportunity, as the Three Pure Ones and others were not in the Primordial Wilderness, but were cultivating in the Land of Dao Origin.

Therefore, he didn't really care about setting up the Star Dou Great Formation; instead, he focused on cultivation. It wasn't that he neglected Donghua, nor would he dare to.

However, to his surprise, Donghua actually came to his door.

Only now do I understand why Donghua valued this matter so much; it's because he wanted to establish more than just a Star Dou Great Formation that could restore one's innate nature.

Instead, it uses the Starry Sky as its map and the Star Dou as its pieces, arranging them into Star Dou Great Formation covers the entire Starry Sky and overlooks the Primordial Wilderness.

If this formation is completed, then the Heavenly Court can use the Star Dou Great Formation to monitor any place in the Primordial Wilderness, and the Heavenly Court's troops can also use the formation to reach any place.

Most importantly, this formation can isolate the inside from the outside, that is, it separates the Primordial Wilderness from the Chaos. In the future, if Great God being of the Primordial Wilderness wants to leave the Primordial Wilderness and go to the Chaos Land, he must obtain the consent of the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, the Star Dou Great Formation would no longer be protecting the Primordial Wilderness, but would instead fall upon those who forcefully venture into the chaos.

Of course, no matter how powerful this formation is, it cannot monitor the Hunyuan Saint, nor can it prevent the Hunyuan Saint from leaving the Primordial Wilderness.

But what does it matter?

There were only a handful of Hunyuan Saint in the entire Primordial Wilderness!

Thinking of this, Fuxi took a deep look at Donghua. He could no longer see his former friend clearly; looking at him was like looking into an abyss or a prison.

This has nothing to do with cultivation level, but simply with planning. He handles everything with ease, and can change the situation of the Primordial Wilderness with a casual arrangement.

That's really scary!

Although the Primordial Wilderness trend is irreversible, what exactly is this trend?

The Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos in the Primordial Wilderness constitute the grand trend!

Therefore, the Tao is the general trend!

But the grand trends of the world are reflected in people; isn't even the Tao something that people cultivate?

As the ruler of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, Earth, and Man, and the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor the Primordial Wilderness, Donghua commands the submission of the three realms. Even the Hunyuan Saint now submits to the Heavenly Emperor.

In the present Primordial Wilderness, it is no exaggeration to say that Donghua is the most powerful force. As long as Donghua does not want to destroy the Primordial Wilderness, no one can kill him, not even seal him away.

Hongjun is powerful, but he is also the representative of the Heavenly Dao. If he wanted to seal Donghua, even the Heavenly Dao would probably not allow it.

Therefore, Donghua has no solution!

This is also the real reason why so many Saints in the Great Luo Heaven submit to him.

Because further resistance is pointless, half of the power in the Three Realms is already in their hands, and uniting again would be useless unless they could truly defeat Donghua.

But we really can't beat them!

"What? Fellow Daoist Fuxi has a different opinion?" Donghua asked with a smile when he saw Fuxi staring intently at him without saying a word.

Fuxi shook his head, withdrew his gaze, took a sip of tea, and then said:

"I have no objection to this matter, but it is quite difficult to actually accomplish it."

"The Star Dou Great Formation that Di Jun and Taiyi set up in the past was only based on 365 main stars. It drew upon the power of the Star Dou and combined their primordial energy to launch unparalleled attacks!"

"The Star Dou Great Formation that the Great Heavenly Venerate wants to set up now is exactly the opposite. Killing is not important. The most important thing is its function: to return chaos to its original state."

"Using the Starry Sky as a map and the stars as an array, it must cover the entire Primordial World and possess defensive capabilities to resist the Hun Yuan."

"However, the defense is also the simplest. If this formation is completed and operated at full power, even ordinary Hunyuan Hun Yuan cannot withstand it."

"The real challenge lies in the formation itself!"

"If the Great Heavenly Venerate wants to set up the Star Dou Great Formation in his mind, then it's not just the 365 main stars, but also the remaining 48,000 auxiliary stars, in order to cover the entire Primordial Wilderness."

Donghua nodded silently. What Fuxi said perfectly matched his vision of the Star Dou Great Formation. It was so much easier to talk to a smart person.

Fuxi's idea was not wrong at all. The Star Dou Great Formation he wanted to set up was to install a monitoring system for the Primordial World, that is, a satellite that could cover the Primordial Wilderness.

Its offensive and defensive capabilities are not important; what matters most is its functionality.

Another point that Fuxi did not anticipate was that he also wanted to use the Star Dou Great Formation as a foundation to establish a network connecting the Primordial Wilderness.

And all of this is inseparable from two magical treasures: the River Diagram and Luo Book!

And the most important person to accomplish all of this.

One of them is the one who deduces the formation!

One of them is the person who operates the formation!

He could deduce the new Star Dou Great Formation by himself, but it would take too much time, so he would need someone's help.

Fuxi is one person you can never avoid, and another is Tongtian.

A Star Dou Great Formation, derived by Donghua, Fuxi, and Tongtian.

But the person who operates the great formation is the one who faces the greatest difficulty!

If the stars are used as the foundation of the formation, then the person in charge of the formation must be a Star Lord.

Currently, half of the Star Lords in the Starry Sky are still empty. These Star God cannot be appointed as so easily; they must have suitable destinies.

If he's missing ten or eight, it's no big deal; he can easily change his fate. Even if he's missing a hundred or two, he can still manage it.

But now he's short of 10,000 or 20,000, which he really can't do. Even if he could, he doesn't want to go against the tide.

If he really succeeds, Hongjun will probably use the Zixiao Divine Thunder to blast him to death and reincarnate in the next moment.

"Fellow Daoist is right. The most difficult thing now is still the human element. The Primordial Wilderness has gone through several great calamities, and half of the Starry Sky Lords are missing. It is indeed impossible to operate the Star Dou Great Formation."

"However, for now, the most important thing is to calculate the new Star Dou Great Formation. As for the personnel, I will take care of that!"

Fuxi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "I wonder what method the Great Heavenly Venerate has? Is it truly necessary to defy fate?"

Donghua laughed and said, "No, no! As the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerate, if I were to defy Heaven, wouldn't that be tantamount to rebelling against myself? How could I possibly do such a thing!"

"Then what does the Great Heavenly Venerate mean?"

Donghua slowly rose from his seat, walked to the window, looked up at the sky from outside the hall, and said in a deep voice:

"Investiture of the Gods!"

"Investiture of the Gods?" Fuxi exclaimed in surprise, rising to stand beside Donghua.

He didn't know what Donghua meant, but he had never seen the other person so solemn.

The Heavenly Court has already conducted two large-scale Investiture of the Gods, so Investiture of the Gods is nothing new.

"Yes, it's the Investiture of the Gods, a unique Investiture of the Gods!"

Donghua turned around and looked at Fuxi beside him, saying, "Now that the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, Primordial Wilderness, and Man have reached perfection and the Primordial World has advanced, the immortals Immortals and Gods who once fell should soon be reincarnated and return, including some Innate Deities who fell during the ancient times."

"Boom!"

Donghua's words resonated deeply with Fuxi. He gave Donghua a long look, then immediately summoned the River Diagram and Luo Book, and a set of eight trigrams rose up.

The Eight Trigrams Great Dao operates, the River Diagram and Luo Book slowly unfold, the trigrams open, and the Heavenly Secret are revealed.

The Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos appeared together on the River Diagram and Luo Book, Fuxi once again exerted all his strength to try to find out what was going on.

But at this moment, the backlash from the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos came, manifesting on the River of Time and Space and the River of Destiny. A wave surged and directly drove Fuxi back.

"Puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of Saint Blood!

"How so?"

"How so?"

Why is that?

Fuxi murmured, as if he couldn't believe it.

Upon seeing this, Donghua pointed a finger, and the three backlashes vanished without a trace.

"Great Heavenly Venerate, the Witch-Demon Tribulation has just passed, could a new calamity be about to descend? How could it be so soon!"

Fuxi asked in disbelief, finding it utterly unbelievable, and a sense of fear instantly arose within him.

It's not fear of a great calamity, but fear of the unknown.

You must know that he is now the Hun Yuan Human Emperor, the Lord of Humanity, yet he couldn't predict this great calamity.

Donghua patted Fuxi on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't overthink it. This great calamity hasn't arrived yet; it's just one of my trials."

"The Heavenly Secret you've deduced are merely the Heavenly Secret I want you to know!"

"What do you mean?" Fuxi asked.

Donghua slowly said, "Do you still remember Shen Ni who appeared within the Taiyi Body in the past? This time, I intend to use his power to artificially create a great calamity."

"I call it: The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods!"

"Firstly, it's for the sake of those returning Immortals and Gods, to bestow Investiture of the Gods upon them!"

"Secondly, we want to explore the power of the Shen Ni to see if we can resolve this calamity; otherwise, the Primordial Wilderness will inevitably face one great calamity after another until the Immeasurable Calamity arrives."

"As the Lord of the Primordial Wilderness, the Heavenly Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate, I have an inescapable responsibility!"

After hearing this, Fuxi was at a loss. He didn't know if this was Donghua's true thought, but in any case, he had no other choice.

You have no choice but to get on Donghua's pirate ship!

"I am willing to serve the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable!"

Donghua laughed heartily, gently patted Fuxi on the shoulder, and said, "Everything is for the sake of the Primordial Wilderness, everything is for the sake of the Great Dao. You and I are fellow Daoists, and we should encourage each other!"

Fuxi smiled bitterly, then asked, "When will the Great Heavenly Venerate initiate the Investiture of the Gods?"

Donghua shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be rushed. We must wait for a suitable opportunity, for the arrival of a great era for cultivation, and for the return of Immortals and Gods!"

"However, I estimate that day is not far off. It will either be during the term of the next Human Emperor or the reign of the last Human Emperor, when those fallen immortals Immortals and Gods will return."

"At that time, I will display the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods the Gods, and conduct a comprehensive Investiture of the Gods of the gods throughout the Primordial Wilderness, perfecting the Heavenly Court and ruling the world with gods."

"Great idea!" Fuxi exclaimed in admiration.

He was very clear about the function of the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods the Gods. Now that the Heavenly Court was powerful, the Heavenly Book was equivalent to a supreme treasure in Donghua's hands.

With the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods, this man-made calamity was completely under control.

"This is simply a perfect plan!"

After some mental calculation, Fuxi couldn't help but admire Donghua, his eyes filled with reverence.

"I wonder which Immortals and Gods will return this time; I'm really looking forward to it!"

Donghua laughed and said, "Don't worry, some old friends will return, but the more ancient and powerful they are, the harder it is for them to return. It all depends on who's lucky!"

P. S.: I'm thinking of writing a different Investiture of the Gods. What do you guys think?
