Chapter 462 Granting of Titles
Yuanshi Tianzun: I really didn't dare, but everything is the will of Heaven.
Di Jun carried the cage containing the fox, his heart filled with sorrow and despair. For a moment, he dared not enter the Qiankun Palace, which now seemed no less terrifying than a raging flood or a ferocious beast.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor..." Su Bai looked at Di Jun expectantly. Great! After all this time, she had been delivered to the Demon Emperor's hands. Now she could go home directly.
"How...did...this...happen?" Di Jun gritted his teeth, each word uttered slowly and deliberately, as if the four words were being squeezed out of his throat.
"Your Majesty, spare my life! It was already done, but who knew that the Primordial Celestial Venerable would suddenly appear? How could a lowly demon be a match for a sage?" Su Bai looked utterly hopeless, but his opponent was simply too powerful.
"However, you asked me to bewitch the Emperor, and Yuanshi Tianzun replaced me, which can also be considered bewitching the Emperor. Your Majesty, the paths lead to the same goal, so I can't be considered a failure." Su Bai had no idea that her words were incredibly damaging to Di Jun. Every word she uttered was like a thousand sharp arrows, piercing Di Jun to the core.
The cage in Di Jun's hand suddenly fell to the ground with a 'bang,' creating a large crater in front of Qiankun Palace, just like Di Jun's heart, which had shattered into countless pieces.
Don't ask, the only answer is regret. Heartbreak and despair are not enough to describe it. She was angry at herself for being too clever and giving Yuanshi Tianzun an opportunity. She was even angrier at Yuanshi Tianzun for being so audacious and daring to make a move. Her chest was so tight that she couldn't hide it, and her blood surged, causing her to spit out a mouthful of golden blood.
"Your Majesty..." Su Bai covered her mouth. What had happened now? Had she said something wrong again?
Su Bai had been imprisoned by Taiyi and had no idea that Di Xin was the Heavenly Emperor. Even if she did know, she wouldn't know that the Heavenly Emperor was the son of the former Demon Emperor.
Inside the Qiankun Palace, Chang Hao rested his fingers on his forehead. "Taiyi, go and call Dijun in. Stop wasting the bricks in front of my Qiankun Palace."
His father was getting worse as he got older; Chang Hao even suspected that he had the potential to raise someone to be mentally challenged.
With such a commotion outside, how could Taiyi not hear it? When he came out, he saw that his elder brother was so angry that he vomited blood, so he quickly helped Dijun up.
"Brother, look at you, why are you so angry? It's come to this, just accept it. If you don't, none of us will be happy." Taiyi was both heartbroken and angry. Dijun also wanted to accept it, but he really couldn't swallow it. He even felt like killing someone.
"What kind of taste does Xiao Shi have? What's so cute about that Yuanshi Tianzun? I'm so angry! Fine, I'm not happy." Di Jun was completely puzzled. Why didn't Dao Zu stop it?
"Xiao Shi is calling you. We can talk privately after we go inside." Taiyi placed his palm on Dijun's back, straightening out Dijun's disordered meridians. "Don't get angry anymore, or you'll end up vomiting blood from anger."
Taiyi had warned his elder brother not to get any crooked ideas, but unfortunately, he didn't keep an eye on him and his elder brother got into a mess.
Di Jun didn't want to be angry, but the thought of having to see Yuanshi Tianzun frequently in the future made him extremely annoyed. Also, if Yuanshi Tianzun came, that idiot Shangqing Tongtian would also frequently come to the Heavenly Court, and he didn't want to see either of them.
Seeing the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor about to leave side by side, Su Bai panicked, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten about me?"
She was so unlucky. She was just following orders, and somehow she ended up in jail and in danger of losing her life.
Di Jun blinked. 'Little Ten doesn't know about this, does he?'
"What do you think?" Taiyi glanced at his guilty older brother with a half-smile. If his older brother hadn't appeared in front of Xiaoshi, Xiaoshi probably wouldn't have guessed that it was his older brother who did it.
"The power of a Great Dao Saint is far beyond what you and I can imagine. A Saint can know cause and effect with a single pinch. If we were to guess, a Great Dao Saint could know the cause and effect connection with just one glance." Taiyi said tactfully, "Big brother, you should just honestly apologize to Xiao Shi."
Di Jun's shoulders slumped almost imperceptibly as he waved his hand and released Su Bai. Su Bai was lucky; he had originally intended to silence him so that there would be no evidence against him.
Unaware that she had once again circled the gates of the underworld, Su Bai, upon seeing that he had been released, expressed his deepest gratitude, saying, "Thank you both, Your Majesties."
"Go back to Qingqiu and don't come back," Taiyi said. Dijun was the real culprit in this matter, and Taiyi couldn't shift the blame to a little demon.
"Yes, Your humble servant obeys." Su Bai performed a deep kneeling bow at the bottom of the pit, then rose and rushed out of Chaoge. She never wanted to return to this wretched place again...
When Di Jun went in, Chang Hao glanced at him and said, "I'll send you back to Qingjing Forest to reflect on your mistakes later."
That glance was light and utterly threatening, but Di Jun felt a chill run down his spine. Little Shi, he knew he was wrong, don't do this.
Yuanshi Tianzun released all the disciples and nephews he had taken in. Upon seeing this, Chang Hao also released the few he had captured.
At first, everyone was on high alert, but then they found themselves in an ordinary hall in the mortal realm, with their familiar teachers and elders all there, their appearances and expressions restored to what they had seen before. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stand at the back." Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened. Even the golden crows were very obedient. Even though their father and uncles were there, they stood obediently at the back of the line and did not dare to surround Chang Hao, Di Jun, and Taiyi.
Duobao and the others looked up and saw that the atmosphere was so solemn.
The eleven Golden Immortals looked dejected, glanced at the Investiture of the Gods, and knew they were doomed.
Most of the people to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods have already been decided. Some of the nominal positions are easy to fill, but the positions with real power need to be carefully considered.
The position, which was both powerful and demanding, was very suitable for his team in the mortal realm. They were meticulous and capable, but their magical abilities were weak. In the Heavenly Court and the Primordial World, where cultivation level was highly valued, they would not cause any major trouble.
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak bestowed titles upon Lu Yuan, Huang Tianhua of the Southern Peak, Huang Feihu of the Central Peak, Dou Rong of the Northern Peak, and Chong Heihu of the Western Peak...
Wen Zhong remained the chief deity of the Thunder Department among the Eight Departments, in charge of the Thunder Department, and placed the Ten Heavenly Kings and Mei Shan under the Thunder Department.
Chang Hao gave real power to his confidants, including Wen Zhong, and then gave the position of the Minister of Finance of the Eight Departments back to the unjustly killed Zhao Gongming. Chang Hao was truly convinced; he was Zhao Gongming's nemesis after all.
In the Fire Department, Chang Hao looked at several people with the Fire element and wrote Kong Xuan down. How could his Fire Virtue Star Lord be so weak? The Water Virtue Star Lord was given to Kunpeng, and water and fire are incompatible. If he found someone too weak, Kunpeng could fly to the heavens...
He also has high hopes for Nezha and Yang Jian, among others...
Chang Hao gently inquired where Shen Gongbao wished to take up a post.
Shen Gongbao knew he had offended the disciples of the Chan Sect and the three Western sects. In order to avoid being killed at any moment and then being resurrected by relying on the Investiture of the Gods, Shen Gongbao almost fought with Quan Chang for the position...
"Your Majesty, I don't ask for any real power, I just want to be as close to Your Majesty as possible." Shen Gongbao said with a fawning expression. Does such a position even exist?
Yuanshi Tianzun almost threw Shen Gongbao out; he was ugly but had a beautiful mind.
Chang Hao thought for a moment. It was impossible for him to be by his side, but there was a divine position that all the gods would avoid. "Shen Gongbao acted on your orders. Although there were mistakes, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. I hereby bestow upon you the position of one of the Eight Righteous Gods..."
Shen Gongbao looked expectant. "Which one?"
