Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“Investiture… Investiture of the Gods!?” Right now, the players still had no idea what the four words represented, but an indescribable feeling rose in them as they saw the antique characters on the tablet and understood the meaning of the investiture of the gods.
The scene turned to the top of Mount Qi where golden phoenixes sang in harmony. Vaguely, the players could see the extremely ingenious ancient array built by the troops dressed in battle armor. The wind and clouds swept backwards as the Heavens and Earth dimmed!
The vast immortal palaces stood upon the stars and above the Great Dao, immortals bowed to a human dynasty, major demons created catastrophes in the mortal world, and the Gold List of the Gods’ Investiture was born in accordance to the operation of the Heavens and Earth!
The scenes flashed before them like a vast endless mythical scroll.
“Three eyes… is that Erlang Immortal Master!?” Jiang Xiaoyue’s eldest brother, Jiang Xuan, especially liked Erlang Immortal Master. He exclaimed, “How come there’s the Erlang Immortal Master here?!”
“Look! The qin, se, and pipa musical instruments. Are they the Four Great Heavenly Kings!?” Even the elves in the Canglan City Shop recognized some of the gods.
“Ahh-! I seem to see Pagoda Bearer Devaraja Li-!” In the new shop at the East Continent, Jiang Xiaoyue exclaimed as well, “Is this the Heavenly Court?!”
“No. It looks like the mortal world!” Shen Qingqing, a fan of plots, had obviously thoroughly studied the story. “This is a human dynasty named Yin Shang-!”
“How can it be-!?” In Journey to the West, it was these immortals and gods who had built the Immortal Court which even the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal couldn’t destroy!
But now, these powerful immortals and gods were all officials working for a human dynasty; it flipped everything they knew about the world, immortals, gods, and humans in the past 1,000 years upside down!
How powerful is this dynasty?!
What had happened to cause such a huge transformation?!
Does this Investiture of the Gods tell the story about how the Heavenly Court was established and the backgrounds of the gods?!
These people were horrified by this thought! What kind of existences had the ability to establish the absolute order in the world where even the immortals and gods served as officials?!
Does that List of Gods’ Investiture have something to do with all this?!
Greatly stunned and extremely curious, they wanted to continue watching.
“This Investiture of the Gods…” Su Tianji yelled, “It has my highest recommendation!”
“It’s absolutely a miraculous TV Series! It will be at least as good as the Journey to the West!”
“I want to watch it-! I want to watch it-!” Some elves almost jumped up from their seats. “Ya-! Sir! We want to watch it!”
“Aren’t you watching it right now?!” Mr. Fang said immediately.
“What do you mean?!” Elf Queen Kellybel walked over. “It’s just a trailer! How much can you watch?”
“We want to watch Investiture of the Gods!”
“It’s not released yet,” Mr. Fang said, “You can watch the trailer today. When the TV Series is released, you can watch it then.”
With that said, Mr. Fang stood up to do his work.
“Thud!”
Elf Queen Kellybel put a hand on the wall and stopped Mr. Fang with others standing behind her. “Then, when will it be released!?”
At this moment, she saw a group of young elves standing behind her in support.
She was proud that she finally regained some of her queenly dignity.
“I’m not sure; maybe next month,” Mr. Fang said casually.
“Next month-!?” The Elf Queen raised her voice several pitches up.
“Or the month after the next,” Mr. Fang said.
“The month after the next-!?” Kellybel’s voice rose higher, attracting many people’s attention.
“Maybe three months later,” Mr. Fang said.
“Ya-! You-!” Kellybel’s ears turned red with fury. You’re bullying us elves!
Do you think you can do anything you want just because you’re the shop owner?!
Mr. Fang shrugged and walked away.
“Humph! I’m furious!” Kellybel stomped her foot and said, “This scummy shop owner. When Investiture of the Gods comes out, we’ll boycott it! I’ll see what he will say!”
“Um…” Sala looked hesitant. “Sister Kelly, that’s a bit unnecessary…”
Elder Sewell also looked torn as she said, “I think… we’ll still watch it?”
Before Kellybel could reply, an old figure behind her said in a low voice while stroking his silver beard, “This… Your Majesty, if you don’t like it, you can read the important documents in the Elf Royal Palace… I can watch Investiture of the Gods for you. What do you think?”
“…”
…
Of course, Mr. Fang wasn’t sure about the release time since the task wasn’t finished yet. At this moment, all he could think about was making money. For example, Nalan Hongwu and a few others had successful entered Innumerable-Immortal Sea.
At this moment, the Innumerable-Immortal Sea put all the energy into the mortal world and spared no attention to the things happening right under its nose.
“Can we build a teleportation array?”
“It’s impossible to build the array with materials from the mortal world. But we can solve the problem by acquiring materials from this world.” Gu Tingyun looked experienced as they walked through the market dressed in the same clothes as the immortals thronging on the streets.
At this moment, two young masters dressed in luxurious robes walked over from the opposite direction. “The useless servants are really… with so many powerful spiritual spells, they can’t make some fun stuff for me to relieve boredom. Instead, they think of nothing but cultivation. Are they morons?!”
“Our major families enjoy prosperity for endless generations, and our patriarchs will never die. What’s the use of cultivating hundreds and thousands of years? Aren’t they stupid?”
“Go! Find some entertainment for us!”
A servant standing beside them said immediately, “Yes… Young Master!”
…
“According to the legends, the gods living beyond the Heaven obtained ‘Dao’ in the distant past but lost ‘Fortune’.
No one knew what ‘Fortune’ was, but it drew the gods to this place.
This place was… the mortal world.
“Oh, Qingqing, Celestial Warrior has updated again?!” In the Jiuhua City Shop, Xu Zixin saw an exquisitely-made book on Shen Qingqing’s desk. While flipping through it, she said, “The contents in this book are unintelligible. What’s it about?”
“This book is about the previous events. I can’t tell you the specifics since I haven’t read it yet.” Shen Qingqing watched the trailer of Investiture of the Gods again and again and obviously had no time for the book now.
…
Meanwhile, in Innumerable-Immortal Sea, the masters of great powers who were living as hermits in different places were summoned together. All immortals had assembled!
Above the Gods’ Palace, countless ancient gods who had ruled the Heavens and Earth for numerous years also assembled!
If it were only to defend their dignity or the rules that they had made for humans, they wouldn’t need to pay much attention. But the situation had changed…
If that ultimate treasure came out, they would do anything for it, including sending an army from the Godly Court into the mortal world to shatter the whole mortal world into dust!
Such huge forces were impossible for the humans to withstand! Even the most ancient gods would be shattered into dust by the forces from the whole world!
What kind of force could block the gods in the whole world?!
Such force didn’t exist, in fact, it was impossible for it to exist!
