Chapter 392: Investiture of the Gods

Investiture of the Gods, begin!

A voice resonating through the three realms sounded.

Immediately, the beings of the three realms saw a huge Investiture of the Gods list appear.

"Investiture of the Gods, it has begun!"

Above the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the Jade Emperor tightly clasped his hands.

Finally, at this moment, after the Investiture of the Gods, his Heavenly Court will no longer be so desolate.

As the master of the Heavenly Court, he will also no longer be a lonely solitary ruler.

"Confer, Shen Gongbao..."

However, when he heard the first name to be conferred, the Jade Emperor looked puzzled.

With a flip of his right hand, a copy of the Investiture of the Gods list appeared in his hand.

"Oh, Shen Gongbao's name is indeed there, but logically he should only have been conferred the minor post of Eastern Sea Water-Division General; such an insignificant deity position, how could he deserve to be conferred first?"

Although he didn't understand, the Jade Emperor didn't say more, merely waiting silently for the result of the Investiture of the Gods.

After all, these people will eventually be his troops; he doesn't care who gets conferred first or later.

"Confer, Shen Gongbao, Nine Heavens Responding Origin Thunder Voice Universal Salvation Heavenly Lord!"

"Pfft!"

In the Jade Void Palace, the True Person Taiyi, who was drinking wine, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of wine, drenching the two boundary beasts.

"What? Junior Brother Shen was conferred as the Proper God of the Thunder Department? Did our master get drunk when compiling the Investiture of the Gods list?"

Something's off, very off!

Many who know the inside story of the Investiture of the Gods have sensed that the Investiture of the Gods list surely has a problem.

And at this moment, the most dumbfounded is the Jade Emperor holding the copy of the Investiture of the Gods list.

Looking at the list already on the copy, his whole face turned black.

"Who can tell me why Shen Gongbao was conferred as the Proper God of the Thunder Department?"

The Jade Emperor said.

But faced with the Jade Emperor's question, no one below could answer.

The Tai Bai Golden Star closed her eyes to nurture her spirit; since she returned last time, she has continually appeared in the form of a white-clad maiden.

This made the Jade Emperor somewhat unaccustomed.

Because the Tai Bai Golden Star in the form of a white-clad maiden is overly aloof; sometimes even the Jade Emperor finds it hard to command her.

As for Marshal Tianpeng Bian Zhuang sitting opposite the Tai Bai Golden Star, he is now sneaking eating immortal fruits, appearing as if he hasn't heard the Jade Emperor's words at all.

Seeing this scene, the Jade Emperor was furious beyond measure.

"Confer, Emperor Xin..."

Just as the Jade Emperor was angry because Shen Gongbao had been conferred as the Proper God of the Thunder Department, Jiang Ziya's voice sounded again.

"Emperor Xin? How could the second one to be conferred be him?"

The Jade Emperor furrowed his brows, and inexplicably a sense of unease arose in his heart.

Surely, it was not beyond the Jade Emperor's expectation; only Jiang Ziya's voice sounded—

"Confer, Emperor Xin, Central Heaven North Pole Purple Subtle Great Emperor!"

Something's off!

This Investiture of the Gods list absolutely has a problem!

The Jade Emperor fiercely slammed the Investiture of the Gods list in his hand onto the table before him.

Emperor Xin, the Human Emperor!

He is the biggest target of this Investiture of the Gods calamity!

He is also the greatest obstacle to the heavenly realm's rule over the three realms; therefore, conferring a divine position upon Emperor Xin is extremely humiliating.

The Heavenly Joy Star, in charge of mortal marriage and happiness!

For the former Human Emperor who once ruled the mortal realm, this is absolutely a humiliation, and also a method for the Heavenly Court to further weaken the mortal realm's fortune.

According to the original plan, the divine position of Central Heaven North Pole Purple Subtle Great Emperor should have been given to Bo Yikao.

But now the Investiture of the Gods list has given it to Emperor Xin.

Thinking about this, the Jade Emperor calculated with his fingers.

In the next moment, he was utterly stunned.

Because in his calculation, the imperial star destiny originally belonging to Bo Yikao had actually been transferred to Emperor Xin.

This allowed Emperor Xin to be conferred as Central Heaven North Pole Purple Subtle Great Emperor, giving him legitimacy!

Moreover, the Jade Emperor also calculated the source of the problem, which lies in Ji Fa.

This one, who originally should have succeeded the Shang dynasty as the Son of Heaven, actually sacrificed his lineage's fate, contributing it to the Shang lineage.

"Damn it, is this guy crazy?"

The Jade Emperor couldn't fathom why Ji Fa would do such a thing, sacrificing his lineage's fate to fulfill the Shang lineage.

Just considering his spirit of sacrifice, Ji Fa could have become a sage.

"Sir, open your eyes and look; this is the Investiture of the Gods list you gave me, it seems like a pirated copy!"

The Jade Emperor almost cried.

"Clang!"

Just then, a crisp sound came.

His gaze turned cold, and the Jade Emperor glanced sideways.

Only see, the Curtain-Rolling General he personally appointed, because of the Jade Emperor's aura shock just now, accidentally shattered the newly replaced glass cup.

Your Majesty, I'll go replace the new glazed glass cup now!

The Curtain-Rolling General said, hurriedly stepped back, and went to replace the new glazed glass cup.

Looking at that guy's back, Vast Heaven Sovereign's eyes narrowed slightly.

He clearly remembered that it was this person who had captured his cousin, the fairy Yunyang Xianzi, which caused the mission to capture Princess Longji to come to an abrupt halt.

Soon after, there came the later event of Ao Yifan bringing his sister and daughter to the Heavenly Court to recognize kin.

If it weren't for my good son-in-law going to the Heavenly Court, the Jade Pond side wouldn't have……

Thinking this, Vast Heaven Sovereign gripped the Secondary List of Gods in his hand.

No matter what Vast Heaven Sovereign thinks, the investiture of gods at the Gods' Platform continues.

After the appearance of these two variables, Shengong Bao and Dixin, many who knew the inside story began to secretly worry.

And indeed it was so; when the few originally listed members of the Orthodox Tradition's Twelve Golden Immortals were announced, everyone finally realized how great the loss of the Orthodox Tradition this time was.

Invest Guang Chengzi, Puxian Zhenren, Heavenly Venerable Manjusri of the Broad Law, and Goddess Who Responds to the World!

When this title was conferred, even Jiang Ziya, who held the List of Gods, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Damn it, Jiang Ziya, you dare to humiliate us!

Guang Chengzi's face turned livid with rage.

Goddess Who Responds to the World oversees childbirth and reproduction, and is jokingly called the Toilet God.

Of course, this is merely people's misunderstanding; the Goddess Who Responds to the World mainly governs human reproduction, the transformation of all things, and the sensing of fortune and misfortune, and is a true proper god of the Heavenly Court.

However, their reputation spreads, for better or worse.

Guang Chengzi and the other two elders were invested as the Pit Three Maidens, nearly making them die of anger.

Jiang Ziya, you dare!

Puxian Zhenren died the earliest, and even to this day he remains confused about how he got listed.

Now, just having emerged, he was invested as such a divine post, making him instantly jump with rage, rushing over to prepare to fight Jiang Ziya, who conferred godhood upon them.

Seeing this, a flash of innocence crossed Jiang Ziya's eyes.

After all, he is merely an edict transmitter; how could the List of Gods be under his control?

However, holding the List of Gods grants control over the life and death of those listed; before Puxian Zhenren could rush over to cause him trouble, a golden whip flew from the List of Gods and lashed Puxian Zhenren repeatedly.
