Chapter 93: It Is Simply Too Frustrating

Inside Pangu Hall.

Dijiang had just seen off the Lord of the Earthly Dao, Luohu, when Pangu Hall received some more special news.

"Hongjun is initiating the Conferring of the Gods???"

"This is coming far too quickly, and how does he even dare to do this!!!"

Dijiang was truly shocked by this move from Hongjun.

The Investiture of the Gods Calamity was supposed to come after the Witch-Demon Calamity.

This calamity had another name.

It was called the Humanity Calamity.

From then on, the Human King would be called the Son of Heaven, implying they were a subject of Heaven.

But right now, the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors hadn't even been experienced, and the Human Race hadn't grown strong yet.

And he was going straight to the Conferring of the Gods??? Had Hongjun really become so unscrupulous in his efforts to resolve the Great Calamity?

Dijiang began to ponder; he felt there must be a major scheme behind this.

Even if Hongjun were desperate, he couldn't possibly be acting blindly.

In Zixiao Palace.

In the original story, Hongjun had indeed done exactly this.

It was just that the way he handled it now was different.

In the original story, he had only plotted to kill all of Tongtian's disciples and grand-disciples, while not touching a single one of Yuanshi's or Taiqing's.

But times were different now; Hongjun didn't have the time to play politics with these Heavenly Dao Sages.

So he issued direct orders.

Yuanshi wasn't convinced, but so what? He still had to endure it.

"Tongtian, you have the most disciples; all of them must be on the list!"

Having dealt with Yuanshi, Hongjun looked toward the Tongtian Saint.

At this moment, Tongtian did not say much.

He only gripped his Qingping Sword even tighter.

"As for Nuwa... find an opportunity to re-forge the Demon-Summoning Banner."

"The Heavenly Court cannot be without the stars of the sky, nor can it be without the shroud of night."

Hongjun looked at Nuwa.

At this time, not only was the merit around her body nearly exhausted.

Her battle with Dijiang had completely drained her of her personal wealth.

"Yes."

Nuwa readily agreed.

"Teacher Hongjun, now that all matters are arranged, who shall face the calamity???"

In a Great Calamity, there must be a protagonist.

So Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance, hoping Hongjun would let one of them gain some benefit.

"The merit will last for a thousand autumns, the benefits for ten thousand years."

"This time, let the Human Race enter the calamity."

"Taiqing, Yuanshi, you two go and make the arrangements."

For a Saint, time is measured in cosmic cycles.

But for the Human Race, ten thousand years is already a very long time.

And Hongjun's abacus was clicking loudly; he simply wanted to use these ten thousand years to reverse the predicament of the Heavenly Dao.

"The protagonist is set, but what about this Lord of Heaven??"

The Saints looked at Hongjun.

"Rest assured, I have long since made arrangements."

At Hongjun's signal, Haotian and Yaochi stepped out.

"Haotian and Yaochi pay respects to all brothers and sisters!!"

Haotian and Yaochi performed the full prostration ritual to the Saints.

But at this moment, the Saints were looking at each other in dismay.

They hadn't expected that after sacrificing their own sects, they would end up serving two child attendants.

The Saints were actually no strangers to Haotian and Yaochi.

They were the attendants who served by Hongjun's side; how did they suddenly transform into the co-rulers of the Heavenly Court?

If this wasn't a joke, then what did it mean?

We sacrificed all our disciples, only to be fit to serve as subordinates to your attendants?

And these mere children actually dared to call them brothers and sisters.

This was simply a slap in the face!!!! The Three Pure Ones were unconvinced, and Nuwa remained silent.

"Good, good, the two of you, please rise quickly."

Jieyin said nothing, but Zhunti became the representative of the Western Sect.

With a way out, Haotian and Yaochi stood directly on the left and right sides of Hongjun without a word.

"Fuxi is well-versed in the art of the Innate Eight Trigrams; he conforms to the heavenly position and shall be the Heavenly Sovereign!!"

Seeing that among the Heavenly Dao Six Sages, only the Western Two Saints were humoring him.

He then looked at the only female among the Six Sages, who was also the one with the greatest ambition: Nuwa.

"Thank you, Teacher!!" Seeing this, Nuwa had no choice but to step out and accept this favor.

It was only because, regardless of whether she was willing or not, once Fuxi became the Heavenly Sovereign, she would become a target for the Saints.

It was better to show her loyalty to Hongjun now.

With things as they were, although she had lost the Demon Race, the Human Race was now flourishing.

Her title as the Human Race Holy Mother would soon bring her a continuous stream of merit.

Seeing Nuwa yield.

Hongjun sneered.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao stripping away his authority, dealing with these Heavenly Dao Saints would not be so troublesome.

It had reached the point where he felt like he owed them something and still had to appease them.

"Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi?"

"Junior Sister truly has great fortune."

"."

Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other, unable to help but feel envious.

Every Great Calamity heralded infinite merit.

Now, the first wave of merit had all been snatched away by Nuwa.

"The Human Race possesses the Virtue of Fire, which must belong to the Qian Ancestor; he may be the Earthly Sovereign!!"

Hongjun looked toward Taiqing.

The original Human Race were the earliest Human Ancestors.

Unfortunately, living until now, only nine ancestors remained.

Among them, the Qian Ancestor had the greatest strength and was skilled in the art of medicine refining.

Although he was not a grand-disciple of Taiqing, he had followed Xuandu to practice alchemy during the Witch-Demon Calamity.

So, to put it bluntly, he was actually a grand-disciple of the Taiqing Saint.

Now that the Human Race had entered the calamity and become the protagonist of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, there must be those who respond to the calamity.

And the Three Sovereigns.

Were the first to bear the brunt.

Next.

Were the Five Emperors.

"Teacher, the first two Sovereigns have been established, so what about the third, the Human Sovereign?"

Zhunti and Jieyin were not yet willing to give up.

Although the Western Sect existed in name only, they were unwilling to give up even if there was the slightest chance.

"The Human Sovereign?"

"Yuanshi, you have a disciple named Guangchengzi who seems to have high prestige among the Human Race; he may take Xuanyuan as his disciple."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhunti and Jieyin immediately became dejected.

And Yuanshi instantly understood; could this be Hongjun's compensation?

First there was Nuwa, then Taiqing.

Now it was his turn.

"Tongtian!!!"

Hongjun looked toward Tongtian.

This existence, possessing the strongest desire for battle among the Primordial Spirits of the Great God Pangu.

Following Hongjun's voice, the Saints also cast their gazes over.

The Three Sovereigns had passed, and what remained were the Five Emperors.

Could it be that he was going to give all the merit of the Five Emperors to Tongtian!!! The eyes of the Saints were already red with jealousy at this moment.

"You have many disciples; the path of the Human King toward destruction must be initiated by you!!!"

What did this mean??? Was he giving it?

Or not giving it?

"I ask Teacher to speak clearly."

Tongtian's expression was cold.

Since the battle at Pangu Hall, he had already made a vow.

The moment he was resurrected again would be the moment he sought the Sword Dao.

Therefore, he did not care at all about Hongjun's arrangements.

The only thing he cared about were his disciples and grand-disciples, who had now become sacrifices for Hongjun's calamity.

As he was now, he was also powerless, so he did not resist much.

"With the support of your Jie Sect, the momentum of the final generation of Human Kings will surely be as glorious as the midday sun."

"Your Jie Sect disciples shall be on the list and all enter the Heavenly Court."

Hongjun spoke, and Tongtian's eyes turned blood-red.

That terrifying sword intent was forcibly suppressed deep within his body.

He was terrified that in the next second, he would draw his sword and hack at Hongjun.

Although Hongjun had just said that the Jie Sect disciples were to enter the Investiture of the Gods, he had not expected them to enter the Investiture of the Gods in this way.

Humiliating, it was truly too humiliating!!!
