Chapter 577 Finalized! The Saints Return!
Chapter 577 Finalized! The Saints Return!
At the same time, the Western Sect's Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances, a cold glint flashing in their eyes.
You should know that their western lands are barren.
However, over the years, thanks to the various management and planning of Jieyin and Zhunti, the Western Sect has actually developed rapidly and has a large number of disciples.
If what Niu Ben said is true, then all of them will be afflicted, and the deceased will be listed on the list.
Then, in the case of Western religions, there will probably be many beings on the list.
This is certainly not what Jieyin and Zhunti would want to see.
After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already made it very clear.
All beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods must obey the orders of the person holding the list, and Haotian was the person appointed by Hongjun to hold the Investiture of the Gods!
Of course, despite their reluctance, Jieyin and Zhunti didn't argue, and waited for the decision of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Soon, all the saints in the hall fell silent and looked at Hongjun.
Hongjun sat upright on the futon, and seeing that the saints had stopped arguing, he slowly spoke:
"It seems that you all have no objection to Niu Ben's proposal."
"In that case, let's do as Niu Ben says."
"All the sages jointly signed and made a vow to uphold the Heavenly Way."
"During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, all the disciples of the sages and many rogue cultivators were subject to the tribulation."
"Those who perish in the calamity will have their true spirits listed and will be deified after death."
After saying this, Honghuang suddenly raised his hand.
Then, the Investiture of the Gods floated down from the void and hung before the saints.
On the list, golden light shimmered, awaiting the marks of the saints.
"Please, everyone!"
Hongjun said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Sage did not hesitate and was the first to step forward.
He raised his hand and pressed a Taiji diagram mark onto the Investiture of the Gods.
Soon, the mark disappeared from the list.
Following closely behind, Yuanshi Tianzun also left his mark on the Investiture of the Gods.
"Ha ha!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed loudly and, with a wave of his hand, branded his mark on the Investiture of the Gods.
They saw that all three saints had their seals and marks on the Investiture of the Gods.
The other saints in the hall did not hesitate either.
Soon, Haotian, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, Dijun, Dijiang, and Niu Ba all signed the Investiture of the Gods.
In the blink of an eye, only Niu Ben remained motionless.
Upon seeing this, all the sages present fixed their gazes on Niu Ben.
Niu Ben remained calm as he slowly stepped forward. With a wave of his hand, a hazy gray mark disappeared directly into the Investiture of the Gods.
As Niu Ben also left his mark on the Investiture of the Gods, the entire Investiture of the Gods suddenly shone with golden light.
"boom!"
Before long, all the marks of the saints merged into one, and then transformed into a huge "seal" character, which floated on the list.
At this point, the sage's signature was finalized.
Once the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods officially begins, no one can remain uninvolved!
Seeing that all the sages had branded and signed their names, Hongjun smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Alright, now that this matter is settled, everyone may leave!"
After saying this, Hongjun's figure vanished.
Seeing this, the saints did not linger and immediately got up and left Zixiao Palace.
Soon, the various sages returned to their respective residences.
The location of the demon realm.
As soon as Di Jun returned, Donghuang Taiyi appeared.
"Brother."
Where did you go before?
Donghuang Taiyi asked aloud.
Di Jun frowned and replied:
"Previously, the Dao Ancestor summoned all the sages of the heavens to Zixiao Palace for a meeting."
"I went to Zixiao Palace!"
Upon hearing what Di Jun said, Donghuang Taiyi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked:
"What is it about?"
Di Jun did not hide anything and told Donghuang Taiyi about the Investiture of the Gods and the Investiture of the Gods List.
After hearing what Di Jun said, Donghuang Taiyi was immediately shocked.
"What?"
"Is another great calamity about to begin?"
"Must my demon race also face calamity?"
As he spoke, Donghuang Taiyi stared blankly at Dijun.
Di Jun's face darkened, and he said coldly:
"It's all that bull's fault!"
"He demanded that all living beings undergo the tribulation, including my demon race."
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi's face turned extremely ugly, and he roared fiercely:
"hateful!"
"This bull... is he deliberately trying to make trouble for my demon race!"
"He has already banished my demon race to this demon realm, yet he still intends to drag my demon race into calamity!"
Seeing Donghuang Taiyi so angry, Dijun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"This matter has been settled!"
"All the great sages have already been marked and signed on the Investiture of the Gods."
"What we should be doing now is figuring out how to deal with the upcoming great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods."
Donghuang Taiyi neither agreed nor disagreed with what Dijun said, and nodded slightly.
"What you say is very true, elder brother."
"This matter of a great calamity certainly needs careful planning!"
……
On the other side, in the Pangu Temple, where the Witch Realm is located.
Upon his return, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang immediately summoned the other Ancestral Witches and informed them of the Investiture of the Gods calamity.
After hearing what the ancestral witch Dijiang said, all the other ancestral witches were shocked.
"What?"
"Is a new great calamity about to begin?"
"Is it called the Investiture of the Gods Calamity?"
"How could that be?"
"Are the Witch Clan, already imprisoned within the Witch Realm, also destined for tribulation?"
"..."
The ancestral witches exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with astonishment.
"well……"
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang sighed helplessly and said:
"The Dao Ancestor has already finalized this matter, and I have also branded my holy mark on the Investiture of the Gods; there is no way to change it!"
"Now, let's see how our Witch Clan deals with the impending catastrophe!"
After speaking, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang opened his eyes and scanned the other Ancestral Witches.
The reason for gathering so many ancestral witches at this time was to discuss this matter.
Next, the various ancestral witches shared their opinions and discussed with the ancestral witch Dijiang the specific details of dealing with the upcoming great calamity.
……
Penglai Fairy Island.
After the Three Pure Ones returned, they also summoned the main disciples of the three religions.
He informed his disciples about the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods so that they could be mentally prepared.
……
Beyond the heavens, in the palace of Nuwa.
After the sage Nuwa returned, she appeared calm and composed.
After all, compared to other saints, she didn't have many disciples.
Therefore, the subsequent Investiture of the Gods calamity did not actually have much impact on Nuwa.
……
Western religion, Mount Sumeru.
When Jieyin and Zhunti returned, they both looked grim.
"Senior brother."
"What should we do?"
"With so many disciples in our Western Sect, if the deceased are listed, wouldn't that mean... many disciples would be on the list?"
Zhunti said in a deep voice, and then glanced at Jieyin.
The guide's face was full of sorrow, and he looked deep in thought.
After a moment's thought, he came to his senses and said:
"The teacher has already agreed to this, so there is no room for negotiation."
"What we should be thinking about now is how to protect ourselves during this great calamity."
Upon hearing this, Zhunti was stunned and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
……
Meanwhile, the celestial realm is located.
Haotian returned to the Heavenly Court with the Investiture of the Gods.
Her complexion was rosy and her steps were light, a stark contrast to the gloomy look she had when she left.
