Selecting the Gifted

The Wu Tribe had returned, and Chen Yang had come with them to the Buzhou Region.

After arriving in the Buzhou Region, Chen Yang settled in Buzhou City and sent word of the Investiture List far and wide.

Xingtian took a drink of wine. "Brother Chen Yang... That Investiture List you've stirred up has drawn plenty of powerful figures across the Primordial World into conflict. What are you after?"

"I don't understand it either. With the Investiture List in our hands, we can grant divine thrones to whomever we please. Now you've put it out there for the whole Primordial World to share, telling every living being that divine thrones are theirs to claim if fate allows it. Aren't you just asking for trouble? If people from the Buddhist Sect or demon cultivators take those thrones, that'll be quite a spectacle," Houyi said, equally puzzled.

Ever since Chen Yang had arrived in Buzhou City, he had spread news of the Investiture List. He had also refined Divine Throne Talismans. Anyone who obtained and refined one could become a deity. More importantly, anyone could refine the talismans he had distributed, regardless of who they were.

That alone had drawn a flood of cultivators. Of course, many others believed it was all a plot by Chen Yang.

Chen Yang sighed softly, then smiled. "Don't worry. I've long had plans for the Investiture of the Gods. Obtaining one of the Divine Throne Talismans I sent out doesn't mean becoming a Star Deity. It only gives someone an opportunity—or a cultivation system.

"I've placed the Star System and a Star Seed inside each Divine Throne Talisman. Whoever obtains and refines one will gain access to the Star System. If they choose to cultivate it, the Star Seed will let them take their first step.
