Chapter 362
What was left to everyone was the feeling of being on the verge of death.
Once the Shattered Dream Dagger was drawn, everyone truly felt themselves jumping on the edge of death, but they had no ability to resist the arrival of death.
"The Shattered Dream Dagger splits its attacks, silent and soundless, and even true essence and divine sense cannot feel it."
"When you see it with your naked eye, the next moment is when you die."
"This is a top-tier spiritual artifact of the assassination Dao. Although it is difficult to control, once mastered, it can even threaten enemies stronger than oneself."
Yelan looked at the Shattered Dream Dagger in Jiang Yan's hand with burning eyes.
Although this thing only exerted such divine power in Jiang Yan's hands.
But that doesn't mean she couldn't exert such ability after mastering it.
But Yelan knew herself very well.
She is currently only at the initial stage of Refining Essence and Transforming Qi, and even controlling magical tools is difficult.
How can she talk about top-tier spiritual artifacts?
Moreover, she is penniless, how can she exchange for it?
In the short term, even if she had contribution points, she would have to prioritize exchanging for spiritual stones and pills for cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, Yelan suppressed the impulse in her heart.
Treasures are good, but she doesn't have the life to use them now.
Now, only the last two magical treasures glowing with golden light remained.
An unfolded scroll, and a stick-like thing that looked like gold but wasn't.
Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at these two magical treasures, and felt a sense of déjà vu no matter how she looked at them.
She always felt she had seen them somewhere.
But Jiang Yan didn't continue to speak, just stared at Alice with a deep meaning in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ningguang asked suspiciously:
"Sect Master, what are these last two magical treasures?"
"These last two, in essence, have a symbiotic relationship. They can be said to be two, but they can also be said to be one."
Jiang Yan seemed to be answering, but actually reminded Alice.
A bright light flashed in her eyes, as if she had remembered something.
Before others could continue to ask, Alice gasped, looking at Jiang Yan in disbelief.
"Sect Master, could it really be…"
Jiang Yan raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.
"As you thought."
"Really? It really is that thing!"
Alice stood up excitedly, looking at the two magical treasures in Jiang Yan's hands with burning eyes.
"Does Elder Alice know these two magical treasures? It seems these two magical treasures have quite a background."
Diluc probed thoughtfully.
Alice nodded heavily.
"If they really are those two things, I can only say that all the magical treasures that have appeared before are not even one ten-thousandth of them!"
"If they really are… these two magical treasures can take the entire Teyvat into an era of gods."
Lumine was stunned for a moment, and in a trance, the memories hidden deep in her mind seemed to return a part.
Two deeply impressed words appeared in Lumine's mind.
Looking at the things in Jiang Yan's hands again, suddenly, Lumine also realized.
Pointing at the scroll excitedly, she said:
"It's… it's the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Beating Whip!"
Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, acknowledging the guess of Lumine and Alice.
"Investiture of the Gods? What is that?"
In the dark, Furina and Ningguang and others suddenly perceived that this thing was of extraordinary significance to them.
Jiang Yan nodded to Alice.
"Since Elder Alice knows, why don't you explain it."
Alice stared fixedly at the Investiture of the Gods, her eyes still a bit trance-like.
She really didn't expect that there would be such legendary things in Shushan's sect treasury.
This is the Investiture of the Gods!
Even if it couldn't be the original Investiture of the Gods, since it could be called the Investiture of the Gods, it must have the same effect.
It's just that the power level might be a bit worse.
"Elder Alice, the Sect Master wants you to introduce this Investiture of the Gods."
Seeing Alice always a bit dazed, Ganyu reminded her in a low voice.
Alice came back to her senses, looked at the Investiture of the Gods reluctantly, and then said in a deep voice:
"Do you remember the story of King Zhou of Shang and Daji that I told when Miko visited the mountain?"
"That is natural."
Miko smiled bitterly, feeling a bit helpless that Alice suddenly mentioned Daji.
Back then, Daji did things like the cannon-branding punishment and digging out hearts.
How could such a story be easily forgotten?
Because of Daji's affairs back then, Miko was also considered to have taken the blame for Daji.
She didn't need to be questioned, and she made a special trip.
But for Daji, Miko's feelings were very complicated.
Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, Heavenly Charm Body.
Strictly speaking, Daji is Miko's charming ancestor.
She even left behind the Nine Transformations of the Celestial Fox.
It's just a pity that the ancestor was a bit ruthless, did things too absolutely, and the reputation left behind was not very good.
While she was thinking, Alice continued:
"The story of King Zhou of Shang and Daji is actually something I saw in a novel from another world. That novel is called… Investiture of the Gods."
Looking at everyone's surprised and enlightened expressions, Alice laughed secretly in her heart.
"Just as you thought, the story of King Zhou of Shang and Daji is just a small episode in this story."
"And the true root and main line of this story lies in the investiture of the gods."
"In other words… the Investiture of the Gods is the most core existence in this story."
Having said that, Alice paused and looked at Jiang Yan cautiously.
"Sect Master, can the stories about those existences in the Investiture of the Gods be told?"
Jiang Yan didn't commit.
"The Investiture of the Gods circulates in the heavens and worlds. Although many facts are not like this, since it can circulate, there is no problem."
"Just like I said before, those existences don't care about everything in these heavens and worlds at all. The only things that can enter their eyes are existences who are also Daluo."
Hearing this, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the curious crowd, and said softly:
"The story of the Investiture of the Gods involves countless Daluo and the change of human dynasties in the past, as well as… the establishment of the Heavenly Court."
"There are many conspiracy theories involved, so I won't say much, I don't dare…"
Alice scratched her cheek, recalling the various analyses about the story of the investiture of the gods back then.
The more she cultivated, the more she felt those analyses were nonsense and daring.
Does Daluo need to calculate a human dynasty?
If they don't like them, they just pat them to death.
That is Daluo, not some Chinese cabbage.
They are absolute free beings in the heavens and worlds, and no rules can limit them.
"In the late years of Shang Tang, a demon fox caused trouble, bewitched the Human Emperor, and caused chaos in the world."
"At the same time, the Heavenly Court was newly built, and it was the time when talent was scarce. Since then…"
"One of the Three Pure Ones, the Primordial Heavenly King, ordered his disciples Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya to go down to the world to invest the gods and fill the Heavenly Court."
"The story of the Investiture of the Gods seems to be a conflict between the change of dynasties of Shang Tang and Great Zhou."
