"Approved! Houtu, who governs reincarnation, is hereby granted the title of Lady Pingxin and made Emperor of Fengdu!" Ye Chen's heavenly voice echoed throughout the entire prehistoric planet, while a large amount of merit power surged towards Houtu. Golden light of merit lit up the entire city of Fengdu, and countless Yin ghosts were bathed in light for the first time.
Looking at the scene in Fengdu City, Ye Chen was overjoyed. Although the continuous conferment of titles had cost him a lot of merit points, it had also brought many powerful people to the entire Honghuang Star.
Like Nuwa, Houtu's strength began to break through to the seventh rank after she took charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and continued to rise until it gradually stopped in the late stage of the seventh rank.
But Ye Chen could sense that this was not the limit for her and Nuwa; they were simply limited by the territory level and could not break through to the seventh rank.
Ultimately, it was he, as the lord, who had dragged down these clansmen, and Ye Chen couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Of course, the most important thing about Houtu entering Fengdu and taking charge of reincarnation is not the improvement of her own strength, but the perfection of the rules on the entire Primordial Star. With the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Ye Chen could feel that the entire Primordial Star seemed to have grown a bit larger, and even many natural satellites appeared around it.
While Fuxi was building the Zhou Tian Star Array with Kunpeng, he suddenly discovered that the meteorites he had moved over had naturally transformed into small planets orbiting the Primordial Star. At the same time, more planets appeared in some of the locations he had originally planned, saving him a lot of time.
"The primordial land is becoming more and more powerful!" Fuxi exclaimed with joy as he looked at the land beneath his feet. For them, nothing was more exciting than the rise of the primordial planet.
"What a pity, you've all reached the seventh rank, while I'm still stuck at the peak of the sixth rank!" The young-looking Kunpeng muttered from the side. Unlike ordinary beasts, he had cultivated the transformation technique early on, allowing him to transform into human form.
This technique wasn't a secret on the Primordial Star. After Ye Chen obtained it, he immediately made it public. Many demonic beasts could easily learn it. However, strange beasts like the Three-Legged Golden Crow disdained using transformation techniques and instead waited patiently for themselves to break through to the seventh rank, naturally mastering the ability to transform.
"Don't worry, the Primordial Star has already advanced, and it's only a matter of time before you break through! The most urgent task is to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, which will also lay the foundation for the demon race to cleanse themselves of their sins!" Fuxi comforted them.
Kunpeng nodded, though he was unwilling, he stopped complaining and continued to set up the Zhou Tian Star Array with Fuxi. The appearance of many stars had caused considerable interference to their actions, and they needed to adjust those places as soon as possible.
Although the Primordial Star has advanced to the seventh rank, breaking through to the seventh rank is not an easy thing for most people. Only those with great merits and achievements, such as Nuwa and Houtu, can break through in a short period of time. Most people can only look up at the sky with envy.
Examples include the Rakshasa King in the Blood Pool, the Mage Lynn in the City of Hope, and even within the Witch Clan, not all Ancestral Witches can break through in a short period of time. Only Dijiang, Jumang, Zhurong, Gonggong, and Zhang Liang have broken through. If Houtu is included, it can be considered half and half within the Witch Clan.
Then there are the Dragon King of the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix of the Phoenix Clan, and so on. However, their strength grows differently after advancing. The powerful Nuwa and Houtu directly stepped into the late stage of the seventh rank, achieving great success in one step. Although the others are not exactly new to the seventh rank, they are basically still at the early stage and need a period of time to settle down and hone their skills.
"I am the light of the primordial world, and I shall illuminate heaven and earth!" A low but loud voice rang out on the primordial star. It was the three-legged golden crow that had broken through to the seventh rank and entered the middle stage of the seventh rank. It was the most powerful seventh-rank demigod after Nuwa and Houtu.
A handsome young man with striking features and an imposing presence emerged from the Sun Star, bathed in the golden sunlight, and slowly bowed towards the Heavenly Court.
"Granted! Confer the title of Sun Emperor, who will govern the Sun Star and oversee the alternation of day and night in the world!" Ye Chen's voice rang out again. In the past few days, his imperial decree had been issued several times across the Primordial Star.
After Ye Jun, Ye Xi and Tai Shan also broke through to the seventh level. However, she did not take charge of the Sun Star like the Three-Legged Golden Crow. Instead, she stayed by Ye Chen's side, seemingly intending to continue serving as his personal maid. As for the Moon Star, she left it to Ye Chang to manage.
As for Mount Tai, he finally got his wish and entered the Heavenly Court, becoming a full-fledged judicial god. His name as the Thunder God resounded throughout the prehistoric world, and he became one of the most powerful forces in the Heavenly Court.
"It's a pity that this batch of seventh-tier demigods all have their own responsibilities, so it's not good to directly confer them into the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, their strength could have been further improved!" Ye Chen looked at the empty Investiture of the Gods list and sighed in his heart.
Fuxi and Nuwa must be connected with the human race, and Ye Chen believes that Nuwa's palace must be located in the Nine Heavens that were later opened.
As for Houtu, there's no need to elaborate. Putting aside her identity as a member of the Wu clan, after taking control of Fengdu City, her position and responsibilities should be listed in the Book of Life and Death, not on the Investiture of the Gods.
The only ones left who could be officially conferred titles were the dragon and phoenix, the three-legged golden crow, Ye Xi, and Mount Tai.
Among them, the Dragon and Phoenix clans were sent down to the mortal world as the Dragon King and Phoenix Mother, in charge of all affairs in the mortal world. The three-legged golden crow stood on the Sun Star as the Sun Emperor, in charge of the daytime in the world. In the end, only Ye Xi and Mount Tai were left. The number of the righteous gods in the Heavenly Court remained largely unchanged.
"In today's Heavenly Court, everything is in need of rebuilding. You two shouldn't be idle either. Taishan, you will also serve as the Giant Spirit God, in charge of all wars; Yexi, you will serve as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the female war goddess of our Heavenly Court!"
Ye Chen finally looked at the only two true gods in the Heavenly Court and said, "You two work hard. My Heavenly Court is, after all, a force on the Primordial Star. We can't be easily surpassed by other clans!"
"Yes, sir!" the two bowed and said, but there were faint smiles on their faces. They knew that this was the lord's slight dissatisfaction. However, the Heavenly Court should indeed find a way to strengthen itself. Otherwise, the lord's power was not as great as that of the clans below. It was not a good thing to say!
As everyone made breakthroughs, the effects of the advancement of the Primordial Star gradually subsided. Of course, this time was measured in years. It took several days in the Time Cave to finally digest everything.
Finally, Ye Chen led his many followers and flew towards the direction where Grandpa Jian was. Now that his strength had stabilized, it was time to go and cause some trouble for the source of darkness.
