Chapter 534 Man can create gods, and he can also destroy gods.
Most of the spirits in the Investiture Platform were officials of the Shang Dynasty, so they naturally knew about Li Jing.
Looking at the three of them, father and sons, they were filled with hatred and gritted their teeth.
"Useless! You can't even handle such a good job!"
"You three, father and sons, not only failed to kill Zhao Gongming, but you yourselves also died. How dare you stand here waiting to be conferred the titles of gods?"
"The thought of having to serve in the same Heavenly Court as you in the future makes me feel unlucky."
Li Jing originally thought that by saying these words he could take the opportunity to let the Three Realms know what this witch Yang Jiao was doing in secret, so that she would be condemned by thousands of people. Unexpectedly, he was the one who was scolded.
His face immediately darkened.
Yang Jiao smiled and bowed to greet Zhao Gongming and the others as they arrived.
"Master Zhao made great contributions in the war between Shang and Zhou, so he is naturally deified. Please."
Zhao Gongming, seated atop the black tiger, landed casually in the center of the Investiture Platform. He surveyed the area and asked:
"Are there any fellow Daoists dissatisfied that Zhao Gongming is still alive?"
The dead all knew that Zhao Gongming was the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, with unfathomable strength. Even the Daoist Ran Deng of the Chan Sect was chased and beaten by him, let alone themselves.
Dissatisfied? Do they dare?
Not to mention Lady Qiongxiao and Lady Bixiao standing on either side of Zhao Gongming, both of them had an air of 'who dares to disobey?' These siblings were extremely powerful.
Immediately, they all lowered their heads, not daring to utter the slightest doubt.
Zhao Gongming then looked at Li Jing, his smile deepening:
"Is this General Li Jing, who cursed me with the Seven Arrows of Nailhead? It's truly a pity we didn't meet sooner."
Li Jing was so frightened that he shrank back.
Zhao Gongming... is he holding a grudge against me?
Offending this person would have dire consequences, so he quickly clasped his hands in apology to deflect the blame:
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended. The Seven Arrows of Nailhead was a gift from Daoist Lu Ya that day. It has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge, you should go find Daoist Lu Ya."
Lu Ya was mentioned.
Zhao Gongming rubbed his temples.
He felt no resentment whatsoever, only the lingering image of him teaching him in the West how to dig out large and useful ley lines remained in his mind, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.
"Ha." Zhao Gongming chuckled.
He stopped looking at Li Jing, walked towards Yang Jiao, and whispered:
"There are restrictions outside the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, so Mosquito Taoist and the others can't get in. They asked me to pass on a message: They are all waiting for you in the Sea of Blood."
Yang Jiao nodded.
"Thank you, Daoist Zhao. I will go to fetch her after the Conferment of Gods is completed. Let's begin the enshrinement ceremony."
Jiang Ziya wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead repeatedly, feeling that the Investiture of the Gods ceremony was somewhat unsettling. He hurriedly started again, not daring to delay any longer.
He walked to the shrine, raised his hands high to receive the Investiture of the Gods, and before speaking, he glanced at the sky to make sure no one would interfere, then declared loudly:
"By order of the Supreme Primordial Lord..."
"and many more!"
Jiang Ziya's first reaction was to look up at the sky, but there was no one in sight in the clear blue sky. Then he suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Jiao.
The person who stopped them was none other than Yang Jiao!
"You, Qingfu Zhengshen..."
You are the Jade Emperor's own niece.
Jiang Ziya had anticipated that the investiture of gods wouldn't go too smoothly, but he never expected it to be this righteous god of the Heavenly Court.
Master Yu Ding and Master Yun Zhongzi exchanged a glance:
"It's over!"
At the same moment, the Investiture of the Gods, which Jiang Ziya was holding in his hands, became hot and suddenly shook violently, with the gold-plated characters on it beginning to twist and deform.
As soon as Jiang Ziya released the Investiture of the Gods, it shone with a brilliant golden light, blinding everyone.
Yang Jiao waved his sleeve, and another scroll of the Investiture of the Gods flew out from it.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Jiang Ziya was shocked: "How can there be two volumes of the Investiture of the Gods?!"
"what happened?"
Shen Gongbao suddenly stood up straight: "Two scrolls! The auras are different, but they are equally powerful."
Nezha slapped Yang Jian on the shoulder, his eyes gleaming:
"As expected of your sister!"
Master Yuding was almost about to burst into tears, standing beside Yun Zhongzi and constantly tugging at his sleeve:
"Junior brother, think of a way quickly! How could she have two volumes of the Investiture of the Gods?"
Yun Zhongzi, however, began to study it:
"How did you forge it? It's amazing! Yang Jiao is a genius. His forgery skills are far superior to mine."
"Is this the time to praise her?!" Jade Cauldron Immortal roared sharply, "Your life is in danger, and you still have the mind to care about the true and false Investiture of the Gods?"
Yun Zhongzi's expression changed.
System mechanical voice prompt:
[Host, please begin your selection.]
[Choosing the Heavenly Path Investiture of the Gods will reward you with the right to use one of the 1 righteous gods' innate cultivation techniques. Once used, it's gone.]
[Choose the Human Gods List; for each person enshrined in each volume, you will receive 10 card-drawing tokens.]
With 365 righteous gods and Yang Jiao himself, there are 3,650 card-drawing tokens.
Judging from the fact that this system returned token fragments in the early stages, this is unprecedentedly generous.
Since Yang Jiao managed to get a free card from Hongjun Laozu last time, she doesn't have a single token in her pocket yet, to the point that you can't even hear the jingle of coins when she walks.
Logically, the safest way to get an SSR is to use gacha tokens. With over 3,000 tokens, even just using the guaranteed drop rate should be enough to get an SSR, and you can collect enough tokens to get a Saint.
Even if the final choice is the Heavenly Investiture of the Gods, there are still 365 divine techniques to protect one's life, and these divine techniques will be used in the future Journey to the West tribulations.
It's almost possible for Sun Wukong to clear all levels.
[Host, please begin your selection.]
But Yang Jiao looked at the two scrolls of the Investiture of the Gods floating in the sky and did not choose either of them.
She curled the corners of her lips, controlled a roll in each hand, and then suddenly brought her hands together!
The two volumes of the Investiture of the Gods collided uncontrollably.
Bang!
A crimson golden light shot into the sky and spread across the heavens.
then,
The earth began to tremble.
The oppressive force of Heaven descended, dark clouds rolled in, making it difficult for those present to breathe.
Yun Zhongzi belatedly realized:
"Is she trying to defy the heavens?"
Yang Jiao formed hand seals and forcibly merged the two volumes of the Investiture of the Gods together, where the forces that initially repelled each other were now accepting one another.
The pressure from Heaven suddenly intensified, accompanied by deafening thunder, as if it intended to strike Yang Jiao to death.
Master Yu Ding was startled, gritted his teeth, and got up from the ground, saying bitterly:
"With fellow Daoists Maitreya and Ksitigarbha absent, it is up to this humble Daoist to turn the tide!"
He shouted and, under Yun Zhongzi's admiring gaze, rushed into the air to help Yang Jiao block the lightning tribulation.
Rumble!
A dragon-shaped lightning bolt surged directly from the clouds, marking the first time I had ever seen such a tangible form within the tribulation lightning.
Master Yuding ran halfway before turning back in terror, shouting, "This humble Taoist can't hold on any longer!"
After shouting, he lay down on the spot, sprawled out in a human-shaped spread, looking utterly hopeless.
"Destroy it, hurry up, I'm tired."
Yang Jiao's face was calmer than ever before as she watched the two volumes of the Investiture of the Gods slowly merge into one.
By merging with the Investiture of the Gods, immortals will no longer need to cultivate with spiritual energy; even those holding divine positions will require the blessing of humankind's will.
Humans can create gods, and they can also destroy them.
From the dark clouds, the destructive lightning bolt descended rapidly. Just when everyone thought Yang Jiao was about to be blasted into nothingness by this lightning bolt,
Yang Jiao showed no fear, raising her eyes:
"It's time to come out."
