Three hundred years later, River Styx and the Seven Sages came to the Purple Cloud Palace again. This time, it was the deadline to decide on the Investiture of the Gods. When the eight of them entered the Purple Cloud Palace, they saw that the Investiture of the Gods was still floating in the main hall, as if it had not moved at all for three hundred years. The treasure light was tempting, but it was a hot potato, which made some of the Sages feel very frustrated.
After everyone sat down, Lao Tzu was the first to speak. "Three hundred years have passed. Now, it is the deadline set by Teacher to decide on the Investiture of the Gods. If you have any opinions, you can speak up. The names of the people on the Investiture of the Gods need to be decided as soon as possible, so as to avoid delaying Teacher's arrangements and causing other unforeseen events."
River Styx was the first to speak. "The Investiture of the Gods this time has nothing to do with the Blood Sea. I'm just here to watch the show. Please go ahead." Watching the show? Only River Styx could say these words in front of the Sages. Moreover, he said it so clearly, without any concealment. He did not even consider the feelings of the other Sages.
After River Styx said this, Nüwa also said, "I don't have any disciples. This Investiture of the Gods this time is beyond my ability. Please go ahead." Nüwa did not establish a sect or accept disciples. She only had one child, Ling Zhuzi. The Investiture of the Gods had nothing to do with her.
Houtu's evil corpse, Ping Xin, also said that the Investiture of the Gods had nothing to do with the Wu people. Lao Tzu and the Five Sages were a little depressed when they heard this. It seemed that the three of them were just here to watch the show, and to watch the show. Nüwa and Houtu were fine, but River Styx was not involved in the Investiture of the Gods. This was a little strange.
River Styx looked at the Sages' expressions with a faint smile on his face. Would he say that he had already set a trap for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors back then? If it weren't for the fact that the last six of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were involved, he wouldn't have given it up so easily to the four sects, even though River Styx didn't intend to target any of the sects.
Then, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Lao Tzu saw that Yuanshi, the Tongtian Sect Leader, Summon, and Zhunti were all silent, so he spoke first. "Now that the time limit given by Teacher is up, it's time for the people on the List of Deification to be decided. We can't afford to offend Teacher."
Seeing that the four of them were still silent, Lao Tzu gritted his teeth and reached out to sign another name on the List of Deification. When the crowd saw this, they were all shocked. There were two more words on the List of Deification: Taishang Laojun. They didn't expect Lao Tzu to sign his own good corpse. He was really ruthless.
Lao Tzu said indifferently, "There are very few disciples in the Ren School, and Xuan Du is the only one who can enter the Inner Hall. Xuan Du needs to pass on my teachings, so he can't be on the List of Deification. The Poor Way is to replace Xuan Du with a good corpse. What do you all think?"
Seeing this, Yuanshi didn't say anything. He could only grit his teeth and write down more than ten names on the List of Deification. Lao Tzu had already signed his own good corpse, so what else could he say? He could only write down more disciples' names to fill in the numbers.
After Yuanshi finished writing, he looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader. When the Tongtian Sect Leader saw that everyone was looking at him, he waved his hand, and more than twenty names appeared on the List of Deification. Finally, everyone looked at Zhunti and Summon, obviously wanting them to sign more names.
Summon's face was bitter and sorrowful, while Zhunti's face was conflicted. In the end, he said directly, "Everyone, there are very few disciples in the Western School. There is really no one who can be on the List of Deification. Tongtian Daoist Friend, you have many disciples, so it's better for you to decide on the List of Deification as soon as possible so that we can proceed with the Deification as soon as possible, so that we won't delay Master's matter."
The Tongtian Sect Leader was too lazy to be angry. He just said coldly, "Zhunti, you often come to the East to ferry people, but you've sent many people to the West. Why do you say that there are very few disciples in the Western School today? There are already more than sixty people in the List of Deification. There is no one else who can be on the List of Deification. Just now, we all signed again. Now, it's your turn. "
When the Tongtian Sect Leader said that, Summon's face was full of bitterness. He stretched out his hand and slowly signed a few more names on the List of Deification. However, his face was full of reluctance, as if he had lost his beloved treasure. It really made people feel pity for him. But everyone present knew that Summon had always been like this, so there was nothing strange about it.
Lao Tzu looked at the List of Deification. There was still a long way to go. It was not a good idea to go on like this, so he could only say, "Since everyone is unwilling to sign more names, then let's do it this way. In the Cultivation Tribulation, each sect will use their own means. In the end, who will be on the List of Deification will depend on God's will. What do you think?"
When Lao Tzu said that, the Tongtian Sect Leader was the first to say, "That's the best. In the Cultivation Tribulation, everything will depend on God's will." His Sect Leader was powerful. If they relied on the means of each sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not afraid of any sect. Moreover, in comparison, his own disciples were not necessarily worse than the disciples of other sects. It was still unknown who would win.
When Yuanshi saw that the Tongtian Sect Leader agreed with Lao Tzu's suggestion, he could only nod in agreement. When Summon and Zhunti saw this, their eyes flashed. They also agreed with Lao Tzu's suggestion. When Lao Tzu saw that the Four Sages had agreed with his suggestion, he bowed to the high platform and said, "Teacher, we have finished our discussion. Please show yourself."
When Lao Tzu bowed, a faint figure gradually became clear on the platform. Finally, it solidified. It was Daozu, Hong Jun. When Hong Jun appeared, Lao Tzu said, "Teacher, we have already agreed that in this Cultivation Tribulation, everything will depend on the fate of each sect's disciples. Who will be on the List of Deification will depend on God's will. What do you think, Teacher?"
Hong Jun looked at everyone and then said lightly, "In that case, let's do it this way. Don't delay the Cultivation Tribulation. As for who will be on the List of Deification, it will depend on fate. None of you can go back on your words." Hearing Hong Jun's words, the Sages naturally had no objections. In this way, everyone finally reached a consensus and the Cultivation Tribulation was settled.
At this time, Yuanshi suddenly had an idea. He asked Hong Jun, "Teacher, the Cultivation Tribulation is no small matter. Which sect will be in charge of it? Or who will be in charge? Teacher, please tell us who will be the one to become a Deification in the future? "When the Sages heard this, their eyes lit up. They all looked at Daozu and waited quietly.
Hong Jun raised his eyelids slightly and said leisurely, "The Cultivation Tribulation is to eliminate the disasters of Heaven and Earth. Naturally, there will be another person who will wield the God's Whip and the List of Deification to exercise the power of the Cultivation Tribulation." After saying that, a long whip appeared in Hong Jun's hand. It was the best Innate Lingbao, which was the same as the List of Deification.
Lao Tzu, Yuanshi, the Tongtian Sect Master, and the Two Sages of the West were all very excited when they heard this. If the person to become a Deification was from their sect, then wouldn't it mean that this matter could be decided by them? At that time, they would also be able to take advantage of the Battle of Deification. Moreover, even if their disciples were on the List of Deification, they could take care of them and give them a better position.
Yuanshi hurriedly asked again, "Teacher, who is the person to become a Deification? Please tell us." Yuanshi's question was naturally what the others were thinking. They all looked at Hong Jun, hoping that he could tell them a thing or two.
Seeing this, Hong Jun said lightly, "There is still a glimmer of Heaven's Will under Tendo. As for the person to become a Deification, I don't know. I only know that this person was born with a strange appearance. There is the appearance of a flying bear on his back. He is a mortal. In the future, he will be a disciple of one of your sects. When the Battle of Deification really begins, the List of Deification and the God's Whip will fly into that sect together.
As soon as Hong Jun's voice fell, he had already disappeared. Seeing that Hong Jun had left, everyone bid farewell and left with their own thoughts. After returning to the Taoist temple, they opened the mountain gate and began to recruit disciples again. They hoped to be able to accept the person to become a Deification under their own sect so that they could have a slight advantage in the Battle of Deification and not fall into the trap of others.
