Gone!
After a moment of smug satisfaction, Feng Xue gradually calmed down. Although the [Heavenly Court] Group Supernatural Tale was clearly a level above [Hundred Tales] in terms of prestige and effort, it was not as scalable as Hundred Tales... and even less convenient than Libra.
Because it is almost completely locked into this world.
The reason he was able to create the Heavenly Court Group Supernatural Tale in this world is fundamentally due to the accumulation of knowledge by his two predecessors, and the fact that they were completely dead.
In another world, it would take Feng Xue hundreds of years to popularize the concept of the Heavenly Court in a world without a cultivation system. Although this time scale is not too large for a long-lived species, Feng Xue has only been Weird Tale for less than ten years. It is clear that she will need a considerable amount of time to transition to the mindset of a long-lived species.
However, even in worlds that already possess cultivation civilizations, the Heavenly Court cannot make a difference. Firstly, in the case of fantasy Webnovel worlds, the divine path system is the weakest among cultivation systems, belonging to the category of "eternal spirits struggling to attain sainthood," and it simply cannot cause any trouble.
If it were a traditional mythological world, then a celestial court would already exist. If the celestial court weren't just Weird Tale, then Feng Xue would obviously be no match for it. If it were Weird Tale, then the Progenitor Supernatural Tale would be revived within him.
Even if he were to return to Chen Xiyao's side now, he wouldn't dare to use the power of the Lord of the Heavenly Court casually, otherwise, he might accidentally trigger the revival of the Progenitor Supernatural Tale of Heaven and the Underworld.
"So, after creating this Weird Tale, I actually gained an ability similar to war projection?"
Feng Xue sighed, then realized a rather troublesome problem, which was...
Abe is no longer useful.
After all, he is the Supreme God; how could he use something that only works for those of lower status?
Although he could now directly summon a naval cannon-level Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to blast it, you Weird Tale know what kind of outrageous powers these supernatural beings might possess. For example, a power like [Heart Over Matter] might allow them to perform absurd operations like "Naval cannons are beam weapons, so I can deflect them with a mirror," or even something like [Technological weapons are ineffective] (which is common in various horror and thriller movies).
However, this distress didn't last long, because Feng Xue quickly came up with an idea—
He simply reached out and a massive tome, thick enough to kill someone without needing a ramming head, appeared in his hand. Without further ado, he flipped to the end, pulled out an expensive fountain pen, and wrote on the newly blank page:
"From a legal perspective, the Heavenly Emperor's status is equal to that of mortals."
As the last stroke was made, the originally black characters were instantly tinged with a light gold, blending seamlessly with the content at the front of the book and becoming part of the Heavenly Rules.
That's right, what he just summoned was one of the auxiliary Phantom Object of [Phantom Object - Heavenly Palace] - Heavenly Rules.
Although generally speaking, Heavenly Rules cannot be changed so casually, what can he do when he is the [Supreme God] and [Lord of the Heavenly Court]?
After adding this rule to the Heavenly Rules, Feng Xue can now use Abe no Katsuki to attack whomever she wants, simply by holding up the Heavenly Rules.
Do you even understand the true value of "acting in accordance with the law"?!
The only pity is that the Heavenly Rules can only bind members of the Heavenly Court Group Supernatural Tale supernatural beings. Otherwise, Feng Xue could have simply written "all women must unconditionally obey the Heavenly Emperor," and with the addition of Gynomorphic Filter, it would have been a perfect hypnotic story, right?
Just as Feng Xue was sorting through her possessions of Phantom Object to ensure she still met the requirements for Phantom Object use, in the distant West...
"Senior brother, something terrible has happened!"
The kind-faced, plump Daoist priest rushed up the mountain in slight panic. The gaunt Daoist priest, seated on his lotus throne, looked on with a hint of sorrow, but his tone remained perfectly calm.
"Don't rush, tell me slowly."
"The Reincarnation Platform left behind by Master..."
"Now is the time for the Investiture of the Gods as foretold in Master's dying wish. It is normal for the List of Deities and the Investiture of the Gods Platform to tremble and trigger the Reincarnation Platform." Jieyin Zhunti calmly, as if he had expected all of this. However, Zhunti, who usually had a kind smile, changed his expression and Jieyin with a face as sorrowful as Jieyin's:
"It's not an anomaly, it's disappearance! The Reincarnation Platform has vanished!"
"What?" The sorrow on the previously Jieyin Jieyin's face was instantly replaced by panic. Although he quickly recovered, his speech, which was noticeably faster than usual, still spoke volumes.
"It's gone, but the array for guiding souls is still there. It doesn't seem like it was stolen; it's more like it vanished into thin air."
Upon hearing Zhunti's reply, Jieyin, his face still showing distress, rebuked him:
"Nonsense! That Reincarnation Platform was a supreme treasure left by our master for proving his Dao. He had already refined it completely before his fall, and it hasn't changed at all in a mere five hundred years. How could it just disappear into thin air?"
"If you don't believe me, senior brother, then follow me." Zhunti also looked aggrieved and immediately walked in front. When Jieyin this, he immediately followed. Before long, they arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru and saw thousands of spirits wandering aimlessly on an array that covered the entire underground cavern.
In that true eye, the Reincarnation Platform, originally used to transform the guided souls into Spirit Cultivator, had vanished without a trace.
"What should we do?" Looking at the spirits that were still pouring out, Jieyin naturally understood that the Reincarnation Platform was indeed gone. His face was even more bitter than before, to the point that any mortal who looked at him would feel as if they had drunk bile.
But he didn't care at all. He waved his hand to shut down the Jieyin array, used his Magic Treasure to collect thousands of souls, and then began to examine the array's structure, searching for clues.
When the Reincarnation Platform was lost, his first thought was that his junior brother had stolen it, but upon closer reflection, there was no need for that. After all, the Reincarnation Platform was, in essence, just a device for soul transformation. For mortal souls, it could grant them Spirit Cultivator aptitude, but for the two of them, who were already at the highest level of Spirit Cultivator talent, "Celestial Beings," it was completely useless.
As for building influence, they were already using this thing to convert novice Sami and establish the Western Teachings. Even if they stole it, how many more people could they convert?
However, it wouldn't be right to say it's unimportant, since as long as this Reincarnation Platform can convert three thousand celestial beings, it can create Merit Supreme Treasure, allowing the Master to respectfully mold Merit Golden Body and be reborn.
Normally, those mortal souls would barely reach the realm of the "human realm," not even reaching the Sami of the "Asura." At most, they could become novice monks. However, the Jie Sect, where Myriad Immortals Paying Homage pay homage, is full of talented people. If they were to convert them, they might be able to meet this requirement.
However, given the size of the Western Teachings, they certainly wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the Jie Sect. Fortunately, their master's last words contained a prediction about the Investiture of the Gods, and now, the Investiture of the Gods has arrived, but the Reincarnation Platform has been lost...
Jieyin turned the entire formation upside down, but after a long while he found no clues, he immediately lost all composure as the leader of the Western Teachings, slumping to the ground with a blank stare, muttering to himself:
"Zhunti..."
"Senior brother, I'm here."
"When Master was alive, he said that if you can't find the culprit behind something, then look for the person who can benefit from it. Tell me, if the Reincarnation Platform is lost, who benefits the most?"
