The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 108 On the Investiture of the Gods

"How will this great calamity of the gods begin? And how will the divine positions be divided?" Yuanshi asked again.

"The Great Tribulation of the Gods begins with the change of dynasties in the human world. Cultivators are not allowed to participate in wars in the mortal world, but can only fight against other cultivators."

Those who hold a divine position are not allowed to take action.

The better one performs during the great eons, the higher the divine position that suits them will be.

There are two factions to choose from, and all cultivators can choose freely. Once a faction is chosen, it cannot be changed.

The victorious faction in the Great Calamity will have the opportunity to obtain a better divine position.

"Of course, those of low character, even if they win, will not be able to make it onto the list." Zhou Chen gave a brief introduction to the Investiture of the Gods.

Yuanshi nodded and said, "In that case, our three religions can hedge our bets on both sides to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Brother Tongtian's words are exactly what I think. In this way, no matter which side wins, we, the Chan and Jie sects, will be invincible." Tongtian Sect Leader agreed.

"In that case, let us summon our disciples and give them our orders! Now that we have ascended to the divine throne, we should also pass on our lineage. The mortal realm is, after all, the place where we were born and attained enlightenment," Lao Tzu said.

Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded in agreement.

Zhou Chen then took his leave and returned to the Great Luo Heaven to study the Heavenly Mirror.

The Three Pure Ones then summoned their disciples and informed them of the Investiture of the Gods. They did not elaborate on the specific functions of the divine positions, only instructing them to give their all.

Meanwhile, the Nuwa Palace was overflowing with people, all of whom were powerful members of the demon race, led by Di Jun and Tai Yi.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this great calamity?" Di Jun asked.

Nuwa pondered for a moment before saying, "The Heavenly Emperor has not told us the specifics of the Great Tribulation, but based on the previous Great Tribulations, it should begin with a struggle between two or more forces."

"At that time, you can join one side and exert your full strength."

Di Jun nodded. That should be the case. After all, every great calamity requires struggle to repay the karma of heaven and earth. Although the world has advanced, the karma of heaven and earth has not disappeared.

"Your Majesty, what are the wondrous uses of the divine position?" At this moment, Taiyi also asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

Since Zhou Chen is preparing to confer godhood, the mysteries of the divine positions will surely be known to everyone. It's not a big deal for her to mention it in advance.

"I don't know what the effects of the later divine positions are, but I can tell you that the divine positions are very powerful, much more powerful than the previous positions of saints."

After I attained godhood, my power grew to an unimaginable level.

"Therefore, let us strive to attain the highest divine position during this great calamity!" said Goddess Nuwa.

The group of powerful demons nodded in agreement. Having gathered the information, they took their leave to prepare for the tribulation.

Nuwa thought for a moment in the Nuwa Palace and then summoned Jin Ning.

"Jin Ning, this opportunity to be conferred as a god is rare. Go to Yuanshi's sect and obey his orders!"

"Perform well during the Great Tribulation, and I believe the Heavenly Emperor will not treat you unfairly," said the Goddess Nuwa.

With a joyful expression, Jin Ning bowed deeply and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

"Go!" Nuwa waved her hand, and Jin Ning withdrew and headed to the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

Originally, Goddess Nuwa intended for Jin Ning to go to the Jie Sect, but after thinking it over, she chose the Chan Sect instead. She felt that the mature and steady Yuanshi Tianzun was a better choice. In any case, the three sects are one family, so it doesn't matter where he goes. Moreover, the causes and effects of Yuanshi Tianzun's various fruits are similar to the creation she herself governs, so she chose Yuanshi Tianzun.

After Jin Ning left, she immediately unleashed her great magical power, preparing to move the Nuwa Palace into the Great Luo Heaven.

But as soon as she entered the Great Luo Heaven, she was stunned by the scene before her.

The Great Luo Heaven was filled with Daoist energy, and each Daoist energy was constantly growing stronger, comparable to the power of creation she currently controlled.

Moreover, there is no spiritual energy in the Great Luo Heaven. Instead, there is innate primordial energy, which is divided into primordial energy, primordial energy, and primordial energy. Countless primordial primordial energies fill the entire Great Luo Heaven.

At the very center of the Great Luo Heaven stands a grand palace, inscribed with a Daoist script that reads "Heaven," presumably the residence of the Heavenly Emperor.

The palace continuously emitted countless tiny bubbles, which disappeared after entering the Great Luo Heaven.

Nuwa took a closer look and realized that these were not bubbles at all! They were real worlds that merged into the Great Luo Heaven after entering it.

After the world was integrated, the area of ​​the Great Luo Heaven continued to increase. Although it was not visible from the outside, the Great Luo Heaven was countless times larger than the current prehistoric world, and it was still growing.

In front of the Heavenly Palace were three smaller palaces: Pangu Palace, Zixiao Palace, and Reincarnation Palace, all exuding boundless energy.

This should be the palace of Pangu, Hongjun, and the Goddess of Peace.

After thinking for a while, Goddess Nuwa moved her Nuwa Palace to the front of Zixiao Palace.

Although she had a good relationship with Zhou Chen, the palaces of Pangu Heavenly King and her master Hongjun were located below the Heavenly Palace. She dared not overstep her bounds in the slightest and should stay obediently below her master.
The moment the Nuwa Palace descended, countless forces of creation surged from the Great Luo Heaven and merged into the palace, only ceasing to flow in after a long time.

Although the appearance of the Nuwa Palace remained unchanged, Nuwa could clearly sense that the palace had been completely transformed by the power of creation, with every brick and tile formed by the power of creation.

Nuwa was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. With more experience and knowledge, she had become accustomed to such things.

As she prepared to enter the Nuwa Palace, a graceful figure emerged from the Heavenly Palace; it was none other than Doumu Yuanjun, the Queen Mother of the West.

"Congratulations on your new home in the Great Luo Heaven, Your Majesty! His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is currently in seclusion, refining the Heavenly Mirror. He would surely be delighted to know of Your Majesty's arrival," Tai Zhen said with a smile as she approached.

“Fellow Daoist Taizhen, let’s address each other as fellow Daoists! We are both disciples of the Xuanmen sect and colleagues, so let’s not be so formal,” Nuwa said with a smile.

"Then I, Taizhen, will presume to do so, Senior Sister Nuwa!" Taizhen did not refuse. After all, after accepting the divine position, her strength had reached an incredible level, although the power possessed by those of different divine positions was also different.

However, in a duel, the one with a higher divine rank can at most suppress the one with a lower divine rank. It's impossible to instantly kill the one as before.

Since both are infinite, there is a difference between large infinity and small infinity, but in reality, the difference is not that obvious.

“That’s exactly right! Come, Junior Sister Taizhen, let’s go into the Nuwa Palace for a chat.” With that, Nuwa warmly pulled Taizhen into the Nuwa Palace.

……

Meanwhile, in Western religions at this time...

Jieyin and Zhunti were frowning with worry. The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa had all obtained divine positions and their strength had increased by leaps and bounds, but the two Western Saints had been forgotten by the Heavenly Emperor, which made them very anxious.

"Senior brother, how can we regain our former status?" Zhunti couldn't help but ask.

"Alas! The Heavenly Emperor is ultimately a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. Born of the human race, his heart is with the Three Pure Ones, so it is only right that Nuwa should follow suit."

"We are willing but powerless, and can only fight with all our might during this great calamity. With our accumulated strength over the years, we are not without a chance," Jieyin sighed softly.
