Chapter 86 Investiture of the Gods, God-Slaying Whip

Lu Zhi analyzed in a deep voice: "With Brother Li's extraordinary comprehension, the only things that can be of any value to him, besides luck and willpower, are the most basic rules of this world!"

"Sister Lü, you can rest assured. When I captured those gods back then, I kept all the fragments of their divine positions!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes again.
There was nothing they could do; the gods of the Douluo world were both weak and stubborn. After several purges, not a single one remained!
"Actually, if we want the Douluo World to be stable, a suitable pantheon is something we can consider!"

Lü Zhi spoke again.

Compared to the martial arts world, a key feature of the fantasy world is that the world's will or the laws of heaven are more pronounced, and there is also the possibility of gods appearing as agents of the heavenly way.

Specifically, they are a group of relatively advanced beings who work for the will of the world. While enjoying long lifespans and a certain amount of power, they also need to be responsible for the scope of their duties.

To put it more bluntly, in the mortal realm, when there is a drought, one can pray to the water god for rain; when one is sick, one can seek treatment from the god of life; when one goes to sea, one can pray to the sea god for calm seas, and so on.

Although it seems very complicated, if the deities in charge are competent, the operation of the whole world will be more efficient. It's just that the deities chosen in the past were all incompetent due to the nature of the world's will.

"That's definitely a good idea!"

"Following this line of reasoning, the gods in the Douluo world could actually be considered a group of customer service personnel with certain processing authority. Their competence could be judged by the satisfaction of their followers, and rewards and punishments could be applied accordingly!"

Li Changsheng appeared in the temple and spoke with a smile.

"Brother Li, when did you arrive?"

Qian Renxue and Lü Zhi both exclaimed with delight.

"It seems you guys were really distracted; you didn't even realize you'd sent out time-travel invitations to the chat group together!"

Li Changsheng replied with a smile.

Qian Renxue and Lü Zhi's pretty faces immediately flushed crimson.

They had kept the chat group interface on the screen where they invited Li Changsheng, and the reason they had just lost focus was also because of Li Changsheng.

Fortunately, their awkwardness wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Coupled with their surprise at Li Changsheng's arrival, they quickly recovered and exchanged pleasantries with him.

"Let's get down to business first. The god fragments you've collected are quite complete, which should give me a deeper understanding of the rules of the Douluo world!"

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said,

He couldn't possibly be unaware of Qian Renxue and Lü Zhi's straightforward intentions, but since he was here for the sake of the future and evolution of the Douluo World, the important matter naturally took precedence!

[Ding! You have comprehended the divine essences of the Sea God, the God of Slaughter, and other deities in the Douluo World, gaining a deeper understanding of the nature of gods!]

[Ding! Based on the essence of the gods and combined with the magical treasures of the primordial world, you have deduced the methods for crafting the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip!]

After all, it was a fantasy floor tile. After a stick of incense's worth of comprehension, Li Changsheng had already seen through the essence of the gods. They were just a group of laborers who entrusted their souls to the rules of the world and relied on the protection of the world's will to maintain their lifespan and supernatural powers!

Li Changsheng also understood more and more why so many ancient immortals in myths and legends disdained the Investiture of the Gods.

To put it bluntly, after becoming a deity, although one can gain considerable benefits depending on the level of their divine office, and with good luck, can directly ascend from mortal to godhood, since it's not something they cultivated themselves, unless they are promoted in their divine office,
Otherwise, one's cultivation level will be essentially fixed!
This was undoubtedly the greatest despair for the ancient immortals who always pursued higher ideals!

Moreover, unbeknownst to many, those whose souls and spirits were entrusted to the Investiture of the Gods could obtain almost endless lifespans, and even if they died in battle, they could be resurrected through the Investiture of the Gods.
But this also means being completely controlled by the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip. Even if someone has a great opportunity to surpass those with higher divine positions, they still have to obey obediently.

Li Changsheng also understood a little why the gods in the Douluo world were so rotten before. Besides the limitations of the world's will itself, they really couldn't see any hope of improvement and became more and more decadent over countless years!

"Is this the true nature of the gods I once longed for?"

After listening to Li Changsheng's introduction, Qian Renxue suddenly began to doubt her life!

"At least gods have something to do and some goals to strive for. Living in the ordinary world and watching your loved ones die of old age, after countless upheavals, even the most normal person would go crazy!"

Lü Zhi, still shaken, said...
Without a chat group, even if the elixir of immortality were truly created in the Qin Dynasty world of "Mythology," it would only bring initial joy; as time went on, it would only become more and more torment! [Ding, you have gained a deeper understanding of the nature of gods and can make certain adjustments to the Investiture of the Gods!]

With a thought, Li Changsheng made some modifications, and a golden Investiture of the Gods was produced again, along with a brand-new God-Slaying Whip.

"It's not as hopeless as it seems!"

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Brother Li is getting more and more humorous. Let's hear the bad news first!"

Qian Renxue and Lü Zhi exchanged a glance, then both blushed with delight and said coquettishly,

Regardless, being able to get along so easily with Li Changsheng is already a huge gain...

"The bad news is that the divine system is just that tricky; after all, you always have to pay the price for what you gain!"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly.

"So what's the good news?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to ask questions, Qian Renxue and Lü Zhi moved closer to Li Changsheng and spoke softly.

"The good news is that, since the Douluo world is of a very low level, I can make some modifications to this god system. For example, I can extend the term of office, and the person in charge of the Investiture of the Gods can dismiss and reappoint gods."

"So, the weakness of the Douluo world can actually be a good thing!"

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly.

"That's already pretty good. In my previous Qin Dynasty world, there weren't even the most basic body-refining techniques!"

Empress Lü breathed a sigh of relief.

With these new rules redefined by Li Changsheng, the god system of the Douluo world can function smoothly. All that's needed is to grant Hu Liena the authority of a god-king and to conduct rewards and punishments regularly.

"Now that you understand, let's begin!"

Li Changsheng and the two women exchanged glances, then Li Changsheng took out the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip from his inner world and released his aura.

"boom!"

Rainbows and golden lotuses, auspicious symbols, emerged from the void, welcoming Li Changsheng.

Immediately afterwards, another wisp of primordial purple energy appeared, with two strands of it entering and merging into the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip respectively, officially establishing its status as a celestial book of its own realm.

The other part was a gift to the immortal Li Changsheng!
"Indeed, the will of this Douluo world understands the rules quite well."

Li Changsheng smiled slightly.

"Actually, it's because Brother Li is too strong!"

A hint of admiration appeared in Lü Zhi's eyes.
With her and Qian Renxue's current strength, they can severely injure the Douluo World. If it were Li Changsheng, he could kill them instantly!

For an unparalleled powerhouse like Li Changsheng, disobedience means certain death, while obedience can grant the opportunity for evolution. Unless the world's will is hopelessly stupid, it will make the most correct choice.

"By imperial decree, Qian Renxue is appointed as the Empress of All Gods, wielding the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip, and is authorized to bestow titles upon God-Kings and all other gods!"

"By imperial decree, Lü Zhi is appointed as the High Priest of the Martial Arts Temple of this Realm, with the Daoist title of Taihua Qingling Zhenjun!"

As Li Changsheng finished speaking, the will of the Douluo World manifested once again, expressing its submission to Li Changsheng on one hand, and on the other hand, it separated two strands of primordial purple energy, which merged into Qian Renxue and Lü Zhi respectively!
