Chapter 463

Since the last Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, the Shang-Zhou battlefield had returned to the wars of the past.

Although there were fewer Chan Sect and Jie Sect disciples,

it did not mean there were fewer immortal cultivators on the battlefield.

On the contrary, for various reasons, countless orthodox forces in the Primordial World had joined either the Great Shang or the Xiqi side to settle their mutual grudges.

There were even many ambitious people who actually delusionally wanted to drag other vassal forces into the war,

wanting to open up a new force outside of Great Shang and Xiqi.

There were more and more ambitious people.

Some vassals were not even willing to submit to Great Shang or Xiqi.

Thinking their strength was sufficient, they also wanted to replace them.

The number of immortal cultivators they recruited was not small.

Unfortunately,

the powerhouses who truly understood the inside story did not care about all this at all.

Did they really think the human race's battle this time was just about power struggles?

It was more about letting the Primordial cultivators complete the killing tribulation as quickly as possible, and then be placed on the list and canonized.

The Shang-Zhou war was just an external form of expression.

As long as the tribulation could proceed normally, in the end, whether Great Shang or Xiqi won would have no influence at all.

However, because of this,

the situation in the Primordial World became increasingly chaotic.

The casualties brought about by the wars between the two sides, and the wars between many sides, were growing geometrically.

Even, under the secret promotion of those with ulterior motives,

the process was constantly accelerating.

The hundreds of millions of spots on the Investiture of the Gods also began to gradually fill up.

As for those important positions, there were not as many as imagined.

It seemed that although many immortal cultivators had fallen in the Primordial World, they did not fit the important positions of the Heavenly Court.

Especially those positions of Star Lords, which were better left vacant than filled with the unqualified.

Without sufficient strength and ability,

even if they were placed on the list, they could only obtain a small position.

Low status and little power.

Wanting to obtain a high position in the Heavenly Court just by being an ordinary mortal who died and was placed on the list, as in fate, was something they shouldn't even think about.

Of course,

it did not exclude those ancient powerhouses who had now reincarnated as ordinary humans.

After they died and were placed on the list, they would gradually recover their past memories.

They would inevitably obtain a high-ranking and powerful position.

Such as Bi Gan of Great Shang, the former Martial King Huang Feihu, and so on.

Although they were now just mortal military generals and their strength was inferior compared to cultivators,

they had other identities.

In the ancient times of the Primordial World, they had all been Great Luo or even quasi-saint powerhouses.

Now reincarnated, they had never recovered their memories from past lives.

Once they died and were placed on the list, they would naturally obtain good positions because of their past identities.

Of course,

even so, it was almost impossible for them to recover their former Great Luo or even quasi-saint realms.

They could only specialize in the Heavenly Court's divine path.

After all, not everyone had the good luck of Lei Ze, who could obtain the protection of Goddess Nuwa.

Not only recovering his former strength, but also obtaining one of the four imperial positions of the Heavenly Court.

Far from comparable to those who had entered the tribulation.

Of course, even such people who had possessed significant identities were in the minority.

One could imagine that not everyone was qualified to obtain the top positions of the Heavenly Court.

And to fill these Heavenly Court positions, they could only rely on the disciples of the four sects to fill them.

Even Holy Mother Jin Ling of the Jie Sect was placed on the list because of this, and several Jin Xian of the Chan Sect were also placed on the list.

Not to mention those disciples with lower status.

As long as they entered the tribulation, if they couldn't grasp that glimmer of life, only death and being placed on the list awaited them.

Filling the vacancies of the Investiture of the Gods.

If the four great sects did not want their own disciples to be placed on the list, they could only try every possible means to have the disciples of other sects placed on the list.

"Die, fellow Daoist, not me."

At this moment, this was displayed vividly.

As long as it wasn't themselves who died, anyone else could die.

Even, the more others died, the safer they themselves were.

For this, the four great sects would spare no cost.

Ordinary cultivators or mortals of the Primordial World being placed on the list and canonized could only fill the lowest positions in the Heavenly Court.

While the four sects were the ones filling the vacancies of the top positions.

The disciples of the four sects tried every effort not to be placed on the list.

While those ordinary cultivators felt that being placed on the list and canonized was a great opportunity.

They did not have much fear of joining the Shang-Zhou war.

Perhaps dying and being placed on the list, entering the Heavenly Court, would lead to better development in the future.

With the protection of the Heavenly Court, although their status was lower,

they could have some security in the future.

As long as they worked hard, it was not impossible for them to rise in the future.

Step by step, rising higher.

It was also because of this

that after the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects left, there were still a steady stream of Primordial cultivators coming to participate in the great tribulation.

All for that tiny chance of being placed on the list and canonized.

Even so, not everyone was qualified to be placed on the list.

Especially those with shallow roots, who, after death, went directly into the Underworld for reincarnation and were reborn.

In their next life, they might not even be human.

Many cultivators who had hoped to be placed on the list and canonized died miserably in the great tribulation and ended up in the Underworld.

Even, because of the killing sins of their past, they would instead fall into the animal path in their next life.

How tragic.

Such unlucky ghosts were not in the minority.

And their numbers would only increase in the future.

The current Shang-Zhou battlefield, as time passed, became increasingly tragic.

Above the Primordial World, a very dense blood-colored tribulation aura had already permeated.

Even Great Luo Jinxian, as soon as they entered the great tribulation, would have their wisdom clouded by the tribulation aura,

completely becoming people of the tribulation who only knew slaughter.

Even a quasi-saint, if not careful for a moment, would be affected by the tribulation aura. ===== CHAPTER 464 =====
