Cao Ya knew very well that the Tongtian Sect Leader was restricted to the top of the Heavenly Realm, where he opened up the Shangqing Yuyu Heaven and could not easily descend to the mortal world. As for the Jie Sect's immortals, there were only a few big cats and small cats left. How could they support the Yin Shang Dynasty?

The Xiqi army swept through the Shang Dynasty with unstoppable momentum, conquering and destroying the Shang Dynasty and establishing the Zhou Dynasty!

The last emperor of the Shang Dynasty also committed suicide by self-immolation, his body and soul perishing.

Jiang Ziya then quickly began the final process of bestowing titles upon the gods.

This scene attracted particular attention from the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

During the great calamity, the immortals who had perished were resurrected one after another, and their true spirits were listed on the Investiture of the Gods and joined the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, they are subject to numerous restrictions, and their lives are controlled by the Jade Emperor, making it impossible for them to improve their cultivation!

Ordinary incense-burning deities do not have so many drawbacks. Breaking through in one's cultivation is difficult, but not impossible. Moreover, one's own life is not controlled by the Jade Emperor's whim.

However, with the Jie Sect as their backer, and Yu Yu Tian located in the sky visible to everyone, no immortal or god dared to slight the newly appointed gods.

Finally, the Investiture of the Gods ended, and on earth, the Zhou Dynasty's prestige spread far and wide in the Southern Continent, with feudal lords protecting it. Even the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent paid tribute to it.

Only Beiju Luzhou, being the territory of the demon race, was ignored.

Because of the existence of Donghuang Taiyi, it is impossible for him to extend his tentacles to Beiju Luzhou.

They were quite satisfied that they could subdue the Southern Continent and the Zhou Dynasty emperor.

In the ancient, primordial land, the influence of the Xia and Shang dynasties was limited to a small area.

Leaving aside the division of fiefdoms in the human world, Cao Ya also returned to the northern starry sky and took up residence on Jidu Star.

After the gods returned to their places, Cao Ya looked out and saw countless rays of divine light wandering through the starry sea and traversing the heavens!

"Whoosh!" One of the figures, imposing with purple aura, traversed the void and soared into the northern starry sky!

Cao Ya bowed slightly, showing proper manners and not ignoring the Great Emperor of the North Pole.

In the four corners of the starry sea, there are now Great Emperors, with divine titles bestowed upon them. Even those who were originally mortals can immediately ascend to the pinnacle of Quasi-Saints! If they have a solid foundation and are located on their home turf, they may even have the potential to catch up with the weak Primordial Chaos Realm!

The Heavenly Court, in name, governs all the heavens and myriad realms, including the Underworld.

The vast starry sea and the positions of the four great emperors are no ordinary occurrences; they are truly unique!

Cao Ya looked around and also noticed a strange figure, shining with golden light, residing in the Dou Palace, commanding all the stars in the sky, driving away all the evil spirits, sitting eternally in the Kan Palace, the supreme Doumu Goddess!

This divine status is not only comparable to, but even superior to, that of the Four Great Emperors!

At their home ground, they are basically a weak mixed force, but incredibly powerful!

Unfortunately, he could not make any progress and was trapped in this situation for the rest of his life.

Of course, for the vast majority of practitioners, reaching this level is already a dream come true!

When Jiang Ziya bestowed titles upon the gods of the Zhou Dynasty, he also took into account the powerful figures of the Jie Sect and did not skip any.

"Golden Spirit Mother, a direct disciple of the Saint of the Intercepting Sect, was originally thought to be between the middle and peak of Quasi-Saint? According to her aptitude, the probability of her becoming a Saint is small, but it is not unfounded that she can attain the Weak Hunyuan realm on her own."

"Although I am currently only a weak Hunyuan, I am trapped in a corner and have no hope of reaching the Hunyuan realm. Moreover, the Jade Emperor has complete control over my life and death, leaving me with no autonomy. In addition, with my divine position, I also have responsibilities and cannot be carefree. I must enforce the laws of the Heavenly Court and govern the Star Sea. If I fail in my duties, there will be serious problems..."

"It can only be said that it is a kind of compensation. It has not been completely ignored. At least the increase in strength is real! It can be considered a consolation."

Cao Ya whispered, "The Holy Mother Jinling's position is arguably the most noble among all the immortals listed in the Investiture of the Gods!"

Even the Great Emperor of the North Pole and others are inferior to the Goddess Doumu.

In the vast Heavenly Court, only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West can reliably surpass Doumu!

The Supreme Lord Laozi of Lihentian is a special case; he is a weak primordial incarnation of the Moral Heavenly Venerable and cannot be generalized.

Nuwa Heaven, Taiqing Great Crimson Heaven, Yuqing Great Luo Heaven, Shangqing Yuyu Heaven, and the Western Paradise were created by Hunyuan. Although they are in the Heavenly Realm, they are different from Lihen Heaven and do not belong to the Heavenly Court.

"The Heavenly Court has suddenly gained one or two weak Primordial Chaos Realm experts! If they can protect the Jade Emperor and control the great fortune, this Great Heavenly Venerable will have a better chance of proving the Primordial Chaos Saint Realm."

Cao Ya shook his head, not believing that "Doumu Zhengshen" Jinling Shengmu and others would completely obey the Jade Emperor; at most, they would obey orders but not summons.

Not to mention the immortals of the Jie Sect, even the immortals of the Chan Sect who achieved godhood in their physical bodies are the same.

The most obvious example is Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation, at the mouth of the Guan River! He's also the Jade Emperor's nephew!

Only a few will submit to the Jade Emperor and become his vanguard and general.

After all, not everyone on the list is a direct descendant of a sage.

"I must go to the North Pole Purple Star Emperor to pay my respects to the new emperor." Cao Ya stepped out of Jidu Star, showing no intention of neglecting the North Pole Purple Star Emperor. Since he was his superior in the Heavenly Court's divine path, and "Bo Yikao" was not a cruel and bloodthirsty person, Cao Ya still gave him the respect due to him.

Not only Cao Ya, but also the old gods of the northern starry sky, such as General Zhenwu and Marshal Tianpeng, as well as the newly conferred gods, all travel through the Milky Way to the North Star, Ziwei Emperor Star.

"Whoosh!!" Countless streams of light filled the starry sky, their divine radiance dazzling and magnificent.

The same applies to the three star systems in the south, east, and west.

The departments of Doufu, Leibu, Huobu, and Wenbu should also have both old and new deities, who worship their leaders.

Regardless of their stance or former allegiance, now that they are serving in the same court, proper etiquette is still essential.

The true spirit is controlled by the Investiture of the Gods, and since it is its duty, it cannot afford to make any mistakes and must perform its duties faithfully.

Aside from their divine duties, the Jade Emperor's other orders can be ignored, for they have the backing of a sage to give them this confidence.

"Buzz." The North Star, the Purple Emperor Star, high in the northern star sea, radiates billions of purple energies, covering countless light-years and illuminating the heavens and the universe.

The gods arrived one after another and entered the Ziwei Emperor Star to pay homage to the Great Emperor of the North Pole, "Bo Yikao".

Bo Yikao died in place of his father, and his remains were even cooked by King Zhou and sent to King Wen, a true tragedy.

This story completely opened the prelude to the Investiture of the Gods, and how could the gods and immortals not know it?

It's not surprising that he was given the title of "Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star".

In some respects, Boyi Kao is now more powerful than his father, King Wen of Zhou, who died and went to Huoyun Cave, as well as his brothers, King Wu and Duke Dan of Zhou, who are still alive!

Among the human ancestors of Huoyun Cave, only the Three Sovereigns were stronger than him, and the Five Emperors were about the same.

Of course, the Five Emperors could still cultivate and improve themselves, but Boyi Kao could not.

There are differences in their prospects.

But in any case, this is a huge improvement for Boyi Kao!

At the pinnacle of Quasi-Sainthood, touching the threshold of Weak Primordial Chaos... not everyone has this ability!

The immortals who were listed and conferred divine titles, born into prestigious families and direct descendants of sages, might not be satisfied.

But other wandering immortals are not truly unable to accept it... Of course, under Jiang Ziya's decree, their positions are not comparable to those of "Doumu Zhengshen" or "Beiji Ziwei Dadi," but are quite ordinary, generally in the Great Luo realm. Occasionally, there are a few who are comparable to Quasi-Saints, but they are far from reaching the pinnacle.

So, to be honest, everyone from top to bottom was not very satisfied, and there were various criticisms.

Only a few people, such as Boyi Kao, were completely satisfied and had no disagreements.

"The Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star." All the gods of the northern starry sky bowed in respect.

Bo Yikao was a refined and cultured man, gentle and refined. Even when he was alive, he was the heir of Xiqi and had experience in handling government affairs and dealing with people from all walks of life.

However, being in the Heavenly Court and having been granted divine status, rather than ascending through cultivation, he possessed extraordinary power and received an imperial decree.

Bo Yikao was also quite worried that he would not be able to win over the people and that the gods below would not give him face.

He didn't expect anyone to be able to challenge him once he issued a command; he wasn't such a domineering person to begin with.

As long as everyone performs their duties, manages the northern starry sea without making mistakes, incurring blame, or implicating others, Boyi Kao has no further instructions.

There are also two other crucial points—this star system has two great supernatural beings who are famous throughout the prehistoric world and whose fame is known in all directions!

One is General Zhenwu, and the other is Lord Ketu!

Their attitude is the most important thing!

Neither General Zhenwu nor Cao Ya provoked the Great Emperor of the North Pole, which showed them respect.

Bo Yikao felt slightly relieved, returned the greeting, and said with a smile, "In the future, everyone should try their best to complete their duties in the Heavenly Court and not delay, lest they incur the displeasure of the Jade Emperor."

"The Great Celestial Venerable, by order of the Dao Ancestor, has established a new Heavenly Court to govern all realms!"

"Our duties are also related to the stability of the starry sky. If problems arise, it will endanger the billions of living beings in the heavens. How innocent they are!"

"I have no instructions, but I hope that everyone will live up to their divine position and fulfill their duties."

"Now that we have divine power, we should also fulfill the requirements of our divine duties."

"You don't need to come to the North Star, the Purple Star Emperor, to worship me."

Bo Yikao explained his attitude by appealing to emotions and reason.

As long as nothing goes wrong, I don't care whether I respect him or not.

What he cared about was not power or influence, but all living beings in the world!

Cao Ya and General Zhenwu exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is as you say."

With the two most powerful gods having given their approval, what objection could the other gods possibly have?

Even if it exists, you'll just have to keep it to yourself.

If it is said that Boyi Kao reached the ranks of the strongest quasi-sages only by relying on the divine status of the "Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star".

So, General Zhenwu and Lord Jidu relied entirely on their own abilities!

The gods of the north held the latter two in even greater awe!

There are reasons why Cao Ya and General Zhenwu did not provoke Boyi Kao.

First of all, Boyi Kao was also of human origin, and was not a cruel or vicious person.

Secondly, to consolidate the trend of "the great rise of the human race", in addition to the Hunyuan Saint realm, the weak Hunyuan, Quasi-Saint, and Daluo realms also need more and more experts to rise!

Bo Yikao has leaped to the ninth level of Quasi-Saint, which is a great help!

Although confined to the northern starry sky, its power would decline if it went to the outside world.

But the northern cosmos is vast enough, spanning countless light-years, and influencing billions of beings in the lower realms!

The two men felt that they and Boyi Kao were not enemies, but rather allies.

As for the Star Sea in the south, east, and west, as well as the Heavenly Court's departments of authority such as the Dipper Palace, Thunder Department, and Fire Department, normal interactions are sufficient; there is no need to try to win them over, lest one offend the Jade Emperor.

They didn't have the innate advantages of Bo Yikao, and even if they were born into the human race, they wouldn't be in key divine positions.

"Buzz." Suddenly, a beam of starlight burst forth from the sky.

The gods looked at Cao Ya, then at General Zhenwu, while the two of them looked at Boyi Kao.

Bo Yikao had no choice but to reach out and take it. He was surprised as the message was transmitted to him.

“General, Star Lord.” Boyi Kao understood and shone starlight in front of the two of them.

Cao Ya scanned the area with his divine sense and suddenly seemed to understand. It turned out that this starlight originated from the Jade Emperor, summoning all the celestial gods to the Heavenly Court headquarters for a grand court assembly!

"What do the General and the Star Lord mean?" Boyi Kao asked, not making a decision on his own.

General Zhenwu pondered for a moment and said, "We can go. The Jade Emperor himself sent a letter, how can we refuse? We don't have the backing of the Primordial Saint."

Cao Ya nodded and said, "Furthermore, with all the gods returning to their positions, there should be a grand court assembly."

"In the future, cooperation between the parties is inevitable, so it's never a bad thing to get to know each other in advance."

Moreover, I also want to see how the immortals of the Jie Sect treat the Jade Emperor!

Cao Ya didn't say the last sentence. The Jade Emperor was, after all, a weak Hunyuan, backed by the Dao Ancestor. Among the gods present, there were definitely some who were loyal to him. If he offended him without cause and was reported, it would only bring trouble!

Let the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and the Jade Emperor's faction fight it out within the Heavenly Court!

Those in the human faction should just keep quiet and make a fortune.

“Alright, let’s go.” Boyi Kao laughed, setting up a purple beam that stretched across the sea of ​​stars.

Then, the gods headed straight for the celestial realm, and soon after, they left the outer realm and entered the celestial realm.

They did not descend to the mortal realm, but only flew in the sky, entering the Heavenly Court through the North Heavenly Gate.

Cao Ya looked around and saw a great many gods flying around in all directions of the Heavenly Court. The South Heavenly Gate, East Heavenly Gate, and West Heavenly Gate were also crowded with people.

Soon, the gods arrived at the Lingxiao Palace and filed in.

Although the number is large, including the Four Directions Starry Sky, the Dipper Palace, the Thunder Department, the Fire Department, etc., the total is no less than a million!

The Lingxiao Palace, the core of the Heavenly Court, is shrouded in auspicious clouds, surrounded by divine spirits, and filled with celestial energy.

Inside, there is a completely different world, capable of containing Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, which is not difficult for a weak Hunyuan.

It can easily accommodate a million gods, and even ten million more would be no problem.

The gods are divided according to their divine status and position.

In the northern part of the sky, the first to appear is the "Great Emperor of the North Pole Purple Star," followed by General Zhenwu and Lord Ketu.

Beside them were the gods of the other three star systems, as well as the star deities of the Dou Mansion.

The gods in the Heavenly Court's departments of authority are located in a slightly more distant place.

At the head of the table, the Jade Emperor sat upright, looking down at the gods below. Beside him, slightly behind, was the Queen Mother of the West.

"Great Heavenly Venerable." The gods bowed, putting on a show of respect.

"My beloved ministers, now that the gods of Heaven have returned to their positions, they must not neglect their duties," the Jade Emperor said with a smile, quite satisfied with the number of people below.

This is the true Heavenly Court! It is the ancient Demon Court that has reappeared. Apart from Donghuang Taiyi, whom he is still no match for, its overall power is not inferior at all!

Cao Ya quietly observed that the "Doumu" of the Dou Mansion was the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, who commanded all the star gods. Her expression was indifferent, and she made no comment.

The God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortal Maidens of ...

Do they need you to tell them about the responsibilities of the clergy?

Beyond authority, don't expect them to contribute any extra effort or undertake any additional tasks!

If you're so capable, then crush their true spirits!

Just look at the wrath of the Tongtian Sect Leader! Can you, the Jade Emperor, withstand it?

As for the constraints imposed by the Dao Ancestor... they had not made any mistakes and had fulfilled their duties. How could the Jade Emperor's arbitrary punishments convince the people?

Even if the Dao Ancestor were to reappear, there would still be something to say about him!
