The investiture of deities continued in an orderly manner.
Soon, Cao Yu's daughters were also named the Seven Fairies.
However, when Cao Zhixi's fans saw a Bai Xiuxiu woman named Bai Xiuxiu being named Chang'e, they couldn't sit still and started expressing their opinions in the live chat.
"Why, why! Although this woman surnamed Bai is indeed beautiful, but..."
"This is unfair to our beloved wife, Zhi Xi!"
"It's rare to find a deity with such a beautiful name, Chang'e, Chang'e, this should be taken up by our first wife, Zhixi."
"I think I know the inside story."
At this point, a bunch of fans immediately flooded the chat with questions. "What's the inside story? Tell us quickly!"
"I think I found some information about this Bai Xiuxiu woman named Bai Xiuxiu, wow... and her relationship with the Heavenly Emperor seems to be more than just casual!"
What's their relationship?
At this point, some people recognized the account as belonging to the recently famous hacker, Xue Hong.
With this powerful figure personally handling things, how could they possibly fail to uncover the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and Bai Xiuxiu?
"This Bai Xiuxiu enrolled in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy midway through her studies, just in time for the Heavenly Emperor to become an exchange student."
And he even shares the same mentor as the Heavenly Emperor. Isn't that a coincidence?
"This isn't just a coincidence, it's an absolute coincidence!"
"Some people's chance encounters are all carefully planned, and according to the comments on the forum, it seems that Bai Xiuxiu once had feelings for our Heavenly Emperor!"
"Holy crap, this is shocking! Looks like our Heavenly Emperor really is quite the ladies' man."
"This isn't about being popular with women, it's more like a love trap!"
At this point, everyone understood why Bai Xiuxiu was able to obtain the divine position of Chang'e; their beloved Zhixi's first wife's defeat was not unjust.
After all, this is a woman who almost became the Heavenly Emperor; she's someone you can't afford to offend.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm still held the Investiture of the Gods in its hand, reading aloud its contents.
"Next, the Five Dipper Star Lords will be appointed. Hear the decree!"
" Xuan Ziwen was conferred the title of Eastern Dipper Star Lord."
Ji Juechen was conferred the title of Northern Dipper Star Lord.
Jing Ziyan was conferred the title of Western Dipper Star Lord.
Zhang Xiaomin was conferred the title of Central Dipper Star Lord.
"Confer the title of Southern Dipper Star Lord upon Su Xiao!"
Zhang Xiaomin and Su Xiao are respectively the current wives of He Caitou and Huo Yuhao.
True God positions available, it's natural to take care of them.
The husband could not have gone to the Heavenly Realm alone, leaving his wife behind on earth.
After all, doing that would be somewhat unethical.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's verbal skills didn't stop until the investiture ceremony was over, more than an hour had passed.
Those who had a relatively good relationship with Cao Yu were all granted titles, while the common people who were not granted titles could only look up at him longingly.
This Heavenly Emperor is so biased!
We won't let them take advantage of us.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If they were in that situation, they would most likely do the same.
After all, this involves interpersonal relationships and social interactions, so there's no room for carelessness.
Cao Yu raised his hand and took the Investiture of the Gods from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's hand. He went around bestowing titles, but the number of remaining divine positions was still the same.
This year's friends and family don't seem to be very supportive!
Looking at the longing eyes of the people below, Cao Yu thought carefully for a moment, and then spoke:
"My beloved ministers, although the investiture ceremony has now concluded successfully, those who did not receive an investiture should not be discouraged."
"My beloved ministers, do you see the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals behind me?"
"We see them!" The entire city suddenly erupted in a deafening roar. After all, the magnificent array of heavenly soldiers and generals was right in front of them. Unless someone was blind, how could they not see them?
"From this day forward, I will hold a trial for the divine positions of celestial soldiers and generals in the mortal realm. Those who pass the trial will obtain the divine positions of celestial soldiers and generals."
"By accumulating military merits, or by improving one's own strength and influence, one can be promoted to a Heavenly General, or even a civil or military official in the main hall."
"Wow!" Everyone was shocked at this moment, and the joy on their faces returned, because this time they really saw great hope!
After arranging everything, Cao Yu led the celestial officials back to the Heavenly Realm. As for setting up the Heavenly Soldiers' assessment, Cao Yu naturally assigned several of his sons to do it, and some of his daughters also went along to join in the fun. So, naturally, not all of his children returned to the Heavenly Realm this time.
After all, they'll be a step behind.
When Cao Yu's relatives and friends arrived in the Heavenly Realm, they were naturally amazed by the scenery.
Everywhere was filled with an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere.
Is this the air of the Heavenly Realm? It smells so good!
Xuan Zi laughed even more heartily, putting his arm around the old man's shoulder and laughing nonstop.
Then he went up to Cao Yu and showered him with praise, "Your Majesty, you are truly remarkable!"
Xuan Zi couldn't help but give a thumbs up, never expecting that he would one day become a god himself.
" Xuan Zi, please call me Little Yu, otherwise I feel really uncomfortable."
"Hey! Now that I've become a god, I'm naturally under your jurisdiction. I owe my godhood to you; otherwise, how could an old man like me have any hope? Haha!"
"Please call me Little Yu in private, it's more friendly that way."
"Alright, I can't resist you. Let's go, Little Yu, show us inside. This place is really huge!"
Cao Yu first led everyone on a tour of the celestial palace where they would be living, and they were extremely satisfied with the furnishings inside.
The greenery surrounding the fairy palace is not only well-planned but also very beautiful, making it a pleasing sight to behold.
In some places, there are even cranes, and in addition to ponds, there are quite a few goldfish.
However, the most spectacular view is undoubtedly above the Hall of Miraculous Mist.
Nine enormous golden dragons coiled and danced there, their gaze encompassing the entire Heavenly Realm.
They observed different directions, but their gazes were lazy, showing no concern whatsoever that anyone might invade the Heavenly Realm.
Xu Jiawei smiled and said to Cao Yu, "You're living a pretty comfortable life, aren't you? You're really putting on a high-class act."
"Haha, those dragons insisted on going up to the roof and tearing off the tiles; I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to."
Xu Jiawei was amused by him, "You're really getting the benefit and still acting innocent, you little rascal, haha!"
After entering the main hall, everyone found their respective seats and sat down.
Cao Yu's thirteen wives were arranged on the left and right sides directly in front of him, followed by the celestial officials of the main hall.
After everyone quieted down, Cao Yu, seated on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, announced a shocking piece of news. He slowly said:
"Actually, there are more than just gods like us in this universe."
"Perhaps you've noticed that this is quite different from the Divine Realm you're familiar with, and that's normal."
"There are no first to Third-Level God here, nor any so-called supreme gods or God of Law Enforcement, and certainly none of the ancestors you know who have already become gods."
Mu En was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Then... Little Yu, are you saying that this is a realm independent of the traditional Divine Realm?"
Another world?
Does that mean they've become elders of the Heavenly Realm?
Cao Yu nodded. " Mu En, you're right. Moreover, the strength of those so-called deities is like that of ants before us, whether it's the Supreme God King or the God of Law Enforcement."
Ultimately, we follow a different path than they do; they follow the path of the gods.
"But our true nature is that of immortals!"
"We have all embarked on the path to immortality!"
