Chapter 76: The Gods' Fate Lines, the Rice's Reward

The gods below also looked toward Cangtian and the others with faces full of envy.

If Cangtian had attained such a status, how could Qingtian and Huangtian be absent?

Sure enough, the gods soon heard the subsequent conferment from His Majesty the God Emperor.

"I confer upon the former Guardian Divine Envoy Qingtian the title of Northern Qingtian Dadi of the God Race's Divine Court, to govern the justice and punishments of all heavens, and to enjoy the Qi Luck of the God Race!"

"I confer upon the former Guardian Divine Envoy Huangtian the title of Earth Deity Huangtian Supreme Emperor under the Divine Court, to govern all matters concerning the Earth Deities of the Underworld, and to enjoy the Qi Luck of the God Race!"

"I confer upon the former Ancestral Witch of the Wu Clan, Houtu, the title of Houtu Supreme Great Emperor under the Divine Court, to govern all matters concerning the Earth Deities of the Underworld, and to enjoy the Qi Luck of the God Race!"

To the lower left, Qingtian, Huangtian, and Houtu all replied respectfully upon hearing this.

"Your subject thanks Your Majesty!"

Gu Zhangqing saw this, nodded slightly, and then spoke to the kings of the nine pantheon systems and the group of Guardian Divine Envoys.

"Among the kings of the nine pantheon systems, except for the Infinite Great God King Xingchen and the Heavenly Dragon Great God King Zhulong, all other God Kings shall station themselves in the Western Continent. You must ensure that after the Great Calamity ends, eighty percent of the Western Continent's territory is brought under the Divine Court!"

The seven God Kings, including the Light Great God King Yewenhua, all said respectfully: "We shall strictly obey Your Majesty's divine decree!"

Next, Gu Zhangqing looked toward the group of Guardian Divine Envoys.

Originally, including Cangtian and the other two, the Divine Court had thirty-six Guardian Divine Envoys.

However, with Cangtian and the others proving their Rice, three positions had become vacant.

Fortunately, there were already four Supreme Gods who had newly joined over the past ten thousand years.

Their appearance was just enough to fill the three vacant Divine Envoy positions in the Divine Court today.

As for the extra one, because she was a female Supreme God, Gu Zhangqing had her go to guard the Zhutian Gate!

In any case, as a Supreme God, one could manifest thousands of bodies at will.

And since there were countless World Gates, having one Supreme God guard the Zhutian Gate was just right.

Thus, Gu Zhangqing said.

"The original thirty-six Guardian Divine Envoys shall have their seats automatically advanced by three, and the three vacant seats shall be taken by the newly joined Supreme Gods: Maya, Pusi, and Among!"

"Additionally, I confer upon the newly joined Supreme God, Tian Yuzhong, the role of Guardian of the Zhutian Gate!"

As soon as Gu Zhangqing finished speaking, the group of Supreme Gods said respectfully: "We shall strictly obey Your Majesty's divine decree!"

Gu Zhangqing nodded, then said to Ao Qing of the Dragon Race and the Heavenly Dragon Great God King Zhulong.

"The numerous forces in the Eastern Continent are deeply intertwined; I leave them to your Dragon Race and the Mountain and Sea God System.

I do not require you to occupy eighty percent, but you must find a way to settle thirty percent yourselves!

At the same time, I will have the Earth Deities of the Underworld, where Huangtian and Houtu reside, provide you with assistance.

Even, at necessary moments, the Shengling Nüwang and her Shengling God Race will descend!"

Upon hearing this, Ao Qing and Zhulong both said with solemn expressions: "We shall strictly obey Your Majesty's divine decree!"

It was not that they could not be solemn, but that the waters of the Eastern Continent were truly too deep.

Not to mention the many intertwined innate Spirit Races, the Witch and Demon Clans alone forced them to be cautious.

Furthermore, there were the three sects of Rice, Chan, and Jie, as well as the Human Race—a newly rising great clan of Honghuang—and the forces of Loose Cultivators, among others.

Yet their task was to contend with these forces while simultaneously securing thirty percent of the territory for the Divine Court!

One could see how immense the difficulty was.

However, there were also many benefits to be gained.

Not to mention exclusively enjoying thirty percent of the Eastern Continent's Qi Luck, they could also obtain a large amount of contribution points from the Divine Court.

This could be called a benefit with multiple gains.

After finishing the arrangements for them, among the Supreme Gods present, only the Infinite Great God King Xingchen Laozu remained without an arrangement.

And since Xingchen Laozu himself was a beneficiary of the Creation God position, it was evident that His Majesty had other plans for him.

All the gods thought this in their hearts.

While Xingchen Laozu was constantly guessing the intentions of His Majesty the God Emperor, he was also thinking about what kind of great opportunity and great merit the "great opportunity" mentioned by His Majesty could be.

Just as he was deep in thought, Gu Zhangqing continued.

"Xingchen!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Hearing Gu Zhangqing's voice, Xingchen Laozu immediately responded respectfully.

"Your Star God Race shall abandon the Primordial Land and migrate the entire clan to the Primordial Starry Sky. Afterward, lie low and do not take the initiative to engage with the Demon Clan. Wait for the birth of the Star Lords in the Primordial Starry Sky, and invite them to join your Star God Race! In the future, I will have other great uses for you all!"

Gu Zhangqing said with a calm face, his eyes revealing a profound Divine Light.

This did not just leave Xingchen Laozu with doubts; the gods in the great hall, even the three-day Great Emperors and the Houtu Earth Deity who had already proven their Rice, could not fathom the thoughts of His Majesty the God Emperor.

However, Xingchen Laozu still said respectfully: "Your subject shall strictly obey Your Majesty's divine decree!"

"Hmm!"

With the strengthening of the Will of the Gods, Gu Zhangqing's strength had also undergone a earth-shaking change.

Originally, after proving his Rice, he was only at the initial stage peak of a Creation God, but now, because of the Gods' Great Will, his cultivation had risen like a building constructed on flat ground, directly reaching the late stage peak of a Creation God.

At this moment.

Even if he no longer channeled the power of the Gods' Great Will, he could contend against the Heavenly Rice Hongjun solely with his own Concept God Rice Law Power.

And with the increase in cultivation, his perspective on things had also undergone some changes.

Because.

When all things no longer hold secrets before you, you might feel novelty at the beginning, but as time passes, your considerations will shift from acting on impulse to viewing things rationally.

For instance.

A person's destiny, with everything presented before your eyes, with countless possibilities and countless outcomes, you can perceive them all one by one.

Then you will certainly choose to develop in the direction that possesses a good outcome.

But the process is inevitably somewhat unspeakable.

When the outcome is unknown, you might not make a choice, but when you already know the outcome, would you still let him continue to make mistakes?

Obviously not!

At this moment, Gu Zhangqing was exactly like this.

As the manifestation of the Gods' Great Will, he could see through the fate of the gods at a glance! This is the Gods' Great Will, this is the power of the Tablet of Fate!

The gods discern the fate of mortals to herd the masses, while he discerns the fate of the gods; he is the one herding the gods!

Life is like a game of chess, with its highs and lows all seen in the eyes of the gods.

The fate of the gods is also like a game of chess; whether good or bad, it is all under Gu Zhangqing's control.

Gu Zhangqing appears to be enfeoffing the gods, but in reality, is he not also playing a game of chess?

For instance, he knew clearly that a traitor would be born among the gods, yet he still granted him a high position in the Divine Court.

After finishing the enfeoffment of the gods, Gu Zhangqing stood up and said to the gods.

"Gentlemen, for this journey of the Great Calamity, I hope you all return in triumph!"

"We shall certainly not fail your high expectations, Your Majesty!"

The gods all shouted respectfully.

Yuanyi World villa area.

The figure of Yuanyi Gu Zhangqing appeared out of thin air, and then he sat on the sofa to wait.

Just at this moment, the figure of Shengling Huang also appeared out of thin air.

He then sat down on the sofa as well, with a faint smile hanging on his face.

"What is it? Have you seen the fate lines of the gods clearly?" Gu Zhangqing asked curiously upon seeing this.

"Yes, their fate lines are generally quite good. If everything goes smoothly, then it means our plan should be a success!"

Hearing this, Yuanyi's eyes lit up, and he said joyfully: "Is that so? Let me see!"

As he spoke, he reached out his slender hand toward Shengling Huang!

Seeing this, Shengling Huang could not help but roll his eyes.

He sized up Gu Zhangqing's slender hand and then said: "Every time I see your hand, I find it incredible. So I really am that repressed inside! The hand manifested from my form is actually more slender and more perfect than my own Shengling body!"

Gu Zhangqing was furious upon hearing this: "What did you say?"

"Fine, I was just talking nonsense, alright!" After finishing, Shengling Huang feigned surrender and also reached out his slender hand, clasping it with Gu Zhangqing's.

In an instant, countless fate lines of the gods appeared in Gu Zhangqing's mind, with every process and result presented before him.

This, of course, included the fate lines of the three Creation God who had already achieved Proof of Rice, Houtu, and Shengling Nüwang.

Because fate is not immutable, Gu Zhangqing would conduct a fate investigation of the gods every so often.

After a hundred breaths, Gu Zhangqing let go of Shengling Huang's hand.

He pondered for a moment, then chuckled lightly, though it was unclear what he was laughing at.

Afterward, he exchanged a glance with Shengling Huang, and both saw a trace of mockery in the other's eyes.

Obviously.

Among the gods, there was a trace of a fate line that made both of them feel very displeased!

The next day, Gu Zhangqing cleared the skies of all worlds.

Linyuan Realm.

This was a Small Thousand World fused together by Gu Zhangqing, similar to the Underworld, both formed by fusing the Small Worlds of sacrificed God Race warriors.

At the same time, Gu Zhangqing had also remodeled it.

At this time, the Linyuan Realm, through Gu Zhangqing's remodeling, had become a Qianji Shijie filled with Innate Divine Prohibition.

Except for the God Race, anyone appearing here would have their power suppressed to the extreme.

Demon Clan, Wu Clan, and others here would all be suppressed into becoming a mortal, or a mortal possessing power.

Even if a Daluo Golden Immortal were here, their power and cultivation would be instantly suppressed to the Heavenly Immortal level.

Conversely, if the God Race were here, they would receive a fifty percent law amplification! As an important point in Gu Zhangqing's plan, he had basically focused his efforts here for the past few years.

Everything started before Yuanshi and Tongtian achieved Proof of Rice.

After the three-year period passed, Gu Zhangqing also successfully completed the obstruction of Yuanshi and Tongtian from achieving Proof of Rice and becoming saints for three years.

He forcibly delayed the Proof of Rice for Pangu's Three Pure Ones, and even the two saints of the West, by more than three years.

Thereby winning room for development for the God Race.

This day was when Gu Zhangqing intended to claim his rewards.

【Ding, detected Pangu's Three Pure Ones, Yuqing Yuanshi has delayed establishing his sect for three years. The will of the Great Rice grants you a reward; the reward has been issued!】

【Ding, detected Pangu's Three Pure Ones, Shangqing Tongtian has delayed establishing his sect for three years. The will of the Great Rice grants you a reward; the reward has been issued!】
