To be honest, Yuanshi Tianzun, who placed great importance on lineage and origin, looked down on Jiang Ziya, who was born into the Later Heaven Human Race and had a very poor lineage.

If Jiang Ziya had not been born as the chosen one of the great calamities of the Investiture of the Gods...

Otherwise, Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't even bother to glance at Jiang Ziya, let alone accept him as a disciple.

Because he looked down on Jiang Ziya, after taking him as his disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately banished him to the Peach Garden without even glancing at him.

Now, after being brutally beaten by the wealthy merchant Emperor Xin and losing face.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable increasingly looked down on Jiang Ziya, who also came from the Shang Dynasty, and even developed a deep aversion to him!

However, I dislike it as much as I like it.

Jiang Ziya was the son of the great calamity necessary for the grand plan of the Investiture of the Gods. Even though Yuanshi Tianzun disliked him, he never showed it openly.

......

Looking down at Jiang Ziya, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke:

"Jiang Shang, how long have you been studying Taoism at Yuxu Palace?"

Jiang Ziya replied:

“Reporting to Master, I came up the mountain at the age of thirty-two, and I have been studying the Tao for thirty-eight years now.”

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded slightly and said:

"Jiang Shang, you were born with a tragic fate; you are destined to have little chance of achieving immortality and are only fit to enjoy the blessings of the mortal world..."

"Now, the fortunes of the Great Shang Dynasty are waning, and the Seven Hills Kingdom in the West is poised to rise!"

"You will descend the mountain on my behalf, assist the Seven Hills Kingdom in unifying the West, destroying the Great Shang Dynasty, bestowing titles upon the gods, and completing the Great Tribulation of the Gods. You shall then enjoy the ultimate wealth and honor in the mortal world!"

......

Upon hearing these words from Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Ziya was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Oh my god!

The master summoned him not because he had passed the test and was going to teach him real skills, but to send him down the mountain.

He... is destined to be forever barred from the path of immortality, with no hope of ever achieving eternal life?!

This was an enormous blow to Jiang Ziya.

After all, it wouldn't have mattered if he had no hope of cultivating immortality in the first place.

Unfortunately, he was taken into the Jade Void Palace and became a disciple personally taught by a sage, where he saw the hope of achieving immortality.

As a result, after working hard for half his life, Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly told him, "You are too incompetent. Stop cultivating immortality and go down the mountain."

Anyone would find that unacceptable!

......

Jiang Ziya trembled all over from the blow.

"Thump..."

He knelt on the ground and prayed to the Primordial Celestial Venerable:

"Master, please, don't send your disciple down the mountain!"

"Since I came up the mountain, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to cultivating the path of immortality, and I have never dared to be distracted in the slightest!"

"Please, I beg you, please spare me, for the sake of my sincerity!"

As he spoke, Jiang Ziya kowtowed to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said:

“Jiang Shang, you have cultivated in the Sage’s Dojo for thirty-eight years, yet you have only achieved your current level of cultivation. You should understand what kind of cultivation aptitude you have.”

"Even if I allow you to stay, many years later, you will be nothing but a handful of dust, with no chance of immortality!"

"However, if you properly perform the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, I might be able to give you a chance to return to the mountain to cultivate again!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up immediately.

He repeatedly assured them:

"Rest assured, Master, your disciple will do his utmost to achieve godhood and will absolutely not disappoint you!"

......

Seeing that Jiang Ziya was fooled by the empty promises he had made, Yuanshi Tianzun's disdain for Jiang Ziya grew even stronger.

Of course, looking down on someone is one thing.

In order to enable Jiang Ziya to better complete the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun spared no effort in supporting Jiang Ziya.

After telling Jiang Ziya the task he needed to complete.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable bestowed upon Jiang Ziya a series of top-tier treasures, including the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods, the Divine Weapon of the God-Slaying Whip, the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, and the Divine Beast of the Four Uniques, encompassing weapons, armor, and mounts.

He practically armed Jiang Ziya to the teeth!

Even the old man from the South Pole standing next to him was filled with envy at this setup.

After bestowing the treasure.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable looked at the Antarctic Immortal standing beside him and said:

“Nanji Zi, Jiang Shang’s mission is of vital importance to our Chan Sect, but his cultivation is still shallow. It may be dangerous for him to go down the mountain alone to promote the Investiture of the Gods.”

"You should go down the mountain with him, protect his safety, and help him complete his deification!"

It turns out that even after bestowing so many top-tier treasures, Yuanshi Tianzun was still not entirely at ease, so he arranged for a powerful expert to protect Jiang Shang.

Top-tier treasures, plus top-tier bodyguards—Jiang Shang's setup is top-notch!

This treatment is simply too good.

To outsiders, it would be hard not to suspect that Jiang Shang was the illegitimate son of Yuanshi Tianzun!

......

Jiang Shang was deeply moved to tears when he saw how much Yuanshi Tianzun valued him.

He patted his chest and assured Yuanshi Tianzun that he would do everything in his power to help Yuanshi Tianzun complete the Investiture of the Gods!

soon.

Under the protection of the Antarctic Immortal, Jiang Shang rode the divine beast Qibuxiang and left the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, heading towards the Seven Hills Kingdom, a branch of the human race ruled by winged gods in the western lands.

at the same time.

The sacred site of the Shang Dynasty's Yin family.

After receiving their respective Dao inheritances, the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa opened their eyes.

"Buzz..."

As they opened their eyes, endless divine light shone within them, as if they contained the boundless Dao.

At this moment, the auras of the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa have undergone a tremendous transformation compared to before.

Their aura far surpassed that of other saints, possessing a transcendent quality that transcended everything.

......

However, as a sage of the Heavenly Dao, his primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao.

This caused the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa to be subtly constrained by the Heavenly Dao.

This conflicting feeling made them very uncomfortable.

In the past, the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa were able to tolerate the constraints brought about by the Heavenly Dao Saint Position.

Now, having received the inheritance of the Great Dao and witnessed the prowess of the powerful beings of the heavens, they have the hope of advancing towards the Great Dao and even higher realms.

In the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Goddess Nuwa, the Heavenly Dao Saintly Position suddenly became utterly worthless.

To them, the Heavenly Dao Saintly position, which countless people in the primordial world dream of, is nothing more than a burden that drags them down.

This damned Heavenly Dao Saintly position, whoever wants it can have it, they don't want it!

They want to relinquish their Heavenly Dao Saintly positions and attempt to reach the Supreme Dao Realm!
