Previously, Hongjun had told these Heavenly Saints that the next great calamity would be the Investiture of the Gods calamity, and asked them to prepare in advance.

At this moment, Hongjun took out the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip.

"Master, I know that Heaven needs immortals, but my Western Sect is extremely barren. Alas, what should I do?"

“What you say is absolutely right, senior brother. The Western Sect is too miserable. This is something that everyone can see. If... if senior brother Tongtian were here, his Jie Sect would be full of immortals.”

Upon seeing these two items, the two Western Saints panicked and immediately spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun nodded, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. Then, his gaze swept over Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Nuwa.

“Master, I have only one disciple, Xuandu.”

Taiqing put it very bluntly: I only have one disciple, it wouldn't be appropriate to put him on the Investiture of the Gods list, would it?

Immediately afterwards, Nuwa stated that she had no disciples, then stood up and took her leave!

Her attitude was clear, and it also left much to the imagination.

Gentlemen, you may betray your disciples if you wish, and you may bestow titles upon them if you wish.

What calamity or robbery is none of my business.

"Sigh, Junior Sister Nuwa is too decisive, abandoning us again."

Yuan Shi frowned deeply.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Teacher, wouldn't it be wonderful if we selected the immortals and gods from among the disciples of the Jie Sect?"

"Although I once shared a brotherhood with Tongtian, this scoundrel abandoned his master and betrayed his sect, violating the principles of benevolence and righteousness. I despise him!"

"Furthermore, there are countless hairy and horned members of the Jie Sect. If they are allowed to be listed and ranked among the immortals, that would be their good fortune."

What do you all think?

Upon hearing what Yuanshi said, Taiqing neither agreed nor refuted it.

Jieyin said, "What Senior Brother Yuanshi said is absolutely right. Tongtian is far too heretical and disrespectful to his teachers and elder brothers. Such an unrighteous and unjust person should have his disciples enter the tribulation."

Immediately afterwards, Zhunti excitedly said, "In this way, not only will the matter of the Investiture of the Gods be resolved, but countless demons of the Jie Sect will also be eliminated. This is simply to cleanse the world of darkness. Good, great good!"

Seeing all this, Hongjun nodded inwardly. The reason he didn't directly tell the Jie Sect to face the calamity was because he was waiting for his disciples to say it!

Everything is fine now.

Hongjun said, "Since that's the case, then you should all work together to fill the spots on the Investiture of the Gods."

"I will obey the teacher's orders!"

The Four Sages of Heaven responded.

Then, Hongjun said solemnly, "But remember one thing: your target is the Jie Sect, not Kuafu. Also, you must not personally intervene in the calamity; you must send your disciples to do so. Do you understand?"

Hongjun was truly afraid that these disciples would disappoint him once again. If they weren't Dao-Merging cultivators, he would have wanted to get involved himself!

The disciples nodded in agreement once again. They were well aware that while the attack was ostensibly aimed at the Jie Sect, it was actually a fundamental attack on the Changsheng Sect.

at the same time.

Penglai Immortal Island, Changsheng Palace.

“Very good, a million years have passed, but only one day has passed in the outside world.”

Kuafu muttered to himself, then emerged from his secluded retreat.

Fortunately, he had perfected his control over the laws of time; otherwise, he would never have been able to achieve this.

"The Law of Life, the Law of Devouring, the Law of Destiny—I have finally mastered them all perfectly!"

Although he is currently only at the fifth level of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, Kuafu's true cultivation level is already high enough to easily defeat any eighth-level expert.

"Ding! A temporary mission has been triggered: Go to the human race to check in and improve the overall strength of the human race. The reward is that the host's realm will increase by one level!"

"I accepted it."

Upon hearing the system's task, Kuafu accepted it without hesitation.

The rewards for this mission are absolutely amazing!

"For a Primordial Golden Immortal to advance even a minor realm, it's harder than climbing to heaven. Now that we have this shortcut, it's awesome!"

"As for improving the overall strength of the human race, with my current level, it's too easy."

With a flash, Kuafu arrived at Shouyang Mountain, the ancestral home of the human race.

This is the area of ​​Laozi's Daoist temple, where hundreds of millions of humans live on the endless mountain range.

Humanity worships Nuwa as the Holy Mother and Laozi as the leader of the religion. Nuwa is relatively kind to these two saints, after all, she has the grace of giving birth to them.

The earliest humans were the first innate humans, who then multiplied into the acquired humans, eventually accumulating into the hundreds of millions of humans we see today.

Although Nuwa never intervened when humanity faced peril, humanity respected her from the bottom of their hearts, for reasons of blood and soul.

However, the human race treats the Sage Taiqing differently.

The Sage Taiqing attained sainthood by establishing the Human Religion and accumulating merit, and then by severing his corpse, which enabled him to achieve the position of sage!

Afterwards, Taiqing bestowed upon the human race a manual called "The Great Dao of Golden Elixir," but this cultivation method could only be practiced up to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm!

Because it is incomplete.

Then, the Sage of Taiqing abandoned the human race, even though he still possessed 20% of the human race's fortune!

At first, all of humanity were grateful to the Sage Taiqing, and they felt very fortunate to be protected by him.

However, during the previous Lich War, countless demons frequently killed and devoured humans.

The three ancestors of the human race cried out, leading countless humans to kneel outside the shrine of the Taiqing Sage. The three ancestors pleaded desperately, but it was to no avail; the eyes on the statue remained closed.
