Primordial Chaos: Let Jie Sect Be Deified? I'd Rather Have the Whole Sect Slack Off

On the eve of the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, Haotian tearfully pleads his case at the Purple Firmament Palace, and the Investiture of the Gods List is about to appear.

Faced with the impending upheaval, the Sages sit high above the clouds, unanimous in their judgment.

With ten thousand immortals paying homage, the Jie Sect has the most disciples and the greatest providence. Naturally, it should fill the Investiture of the Gods List for the Heavenly Court.

But the Jie Sect's eldest senior brother steps forward.

"You want my Jie Sect's disciples invested as gods? Fine."

"From this day forward, the Jie Sect is giving up. All ten thousand immortals will return to the mountains."

"The Heavenly Court needs staff? Recruit them yourselves."

"The Four Seas are in turmoil? Pacify them yourselves."

"Demons and evil spirits are running amok? Slay them yourselves."

"The Chan Sect faces tribulations? Weather them yourselves."

At first, Haotian sneers, the Chan Sect watches from the sidelines, and the Western Sect waits to reap the spoils. Throughout the Primordial World, living beings mock the Jie Sect for cowardly shirking the tribulation.

But soon, no one is laughing.

The Heavenly Court grinds to a halt. Order collapses across the Four Seas. Demons run rampant, and the earth's spiritual veins churn in upheaval.

The entire Primordial World suddenly descends into chaos.

Haotian has no choice but to return, weeping and pleading once more.

"Dao Ancestor, I give up on investing the gods! Please, bring the Jie Sect's disciples back!"
