Why Are So Many People Missing from the Investiture of the Gods?

Thirty-Three Heavens.

Heavenly Court.

Haotian sat within Lingxiao Palace, originally handling matters concerning the divine paths of the various heavens.

A duty immortal officer hurried into the hall.

"Your Majesty."

Haotian raised his eyes.

"What is it?"

The immortal officer held up a phantom Heavenly Book radiating divine light with both hands.

"There is a problem with the karmic fate of the Investiture of the Gods."

Haotian's gaze narrowed slightly.

The Investiture of the Gods Calamity had always been tied to the Heavenly Court's shortage of gods.

Three hundred and sixty-five principal gods, along with numerous deputy gods, star officials, and subordinate members, needed to be filled through this calamity.

The true Investiture of the Gods and God-Striking Whip were still operating in the lower realm.

Yet whenever a true spirit destined for the tribulation appeared on the list, the karmic fate of the corresponding divine position in the Heavenly Court would change.

Haotian had naturally been watching all along.

He had sensed some time ago that the progress was too slow.

But a Karmic Tribulation lasted a long time.

It was not surprising for one or two points of divergence to appear.

Now that the duty immortal officer had directly said there was "a problem,"

it meant the deviation had already grown too great to ignore.

"Open it."

Haotian spoke.

The immortal officer immediately activated the Heavenly Book.

Buzz!

A massive golden phantom list unfurled within Lingxiao Palace.

Three hundred and sixty-five primary divine positions were arranged in sequence.

Many positions remained vacant.

That was normal.

The Investiture of the Gods had yet to end.

What was truly strange lay elsewhere.

According to the Heavenly Court's prior perception of the calamity's karmic fate, the death tribulations upon many of those destined for the tribulation had long grown so dense
