From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 345 You Wasted Your Political Education Classes in Your Past Life
The origin of the Book of Derivation is both mysterious and not mysterious. Apart from a few high-ranking beings at the very top, many people know about it.

The appearance of this thing is rather strange. There was no such thing before the Investiture of the Gods, in the primordial era, but it suddenly appeared during the Investiture of the Gods.

And the first one to fall into the trap was the Jade Emperor.

His sister and his daughter were both harmed by this thing. His sister was inexplicably married to an ordinary man, and his daughter, Longji, was mistakenly tied to a red thread and married to Hong Jin.

These two things were simply unbelievable to many powerful beings.

How could such a thing happen?

Unless Haotian is a useless person!

In fact, many people thought so at the time.

Before the Investiture of the Gods, why were no people from the three religions willing to serve in the Heavenly Court? One reason was their powerful backgrounds, but another was that no one wanted to be a subordinate of a useless person, as it would lower their own status.

Until the very end of the Investiture of the Gods, several great sages personally intervened and noticed a clue. Then, the disgruntled Tongtian Sage personally pulled out the culprit from the void, who turned out to be an extraterrestrial being. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that this extraterrestrial being was a remnant of the Yuanfu Daluo Heaven. This Yuanfu Daluo Heaven existed in the future world, created by an unknown Daluo, which later caused great chaos and was ordered to be eradicated by the Jade Emperor. This extraterrestrial being was one of the survivors who escaped the net. After the destruction of the Yuanfu Daluo Heaven, he survived through the protection of the Destiny Talisman Derivation Heavenly Book and even traveled through time to the Investiture of the Gods period.

Driven by a desire for revenge, he solidified the original process of the Investiture of the Gods into his own Destiny Talisman Derivation Heavenly Book based on his understanding of the Investiture of the Gods. Of course, he added a few strokes to it as revenge against the Jade Emperor.

He succeeded.

The Jade Emperor was successfully outmaneuvered, but he overlooked one crucial point: the Investiture of the Gods involved far too many layers. By solidifying the process according to the prevailing trend, he also affected those who shouldn't have been affected. The Jade Emperor's momentary lapse in judgment was his misfortune, but those sages were not made of clay. Even if you knew the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods, you shouldn't have written it in the Book of Destiny. Even if the All-Encompassing Sage knew that the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods wouldn't be affected by the Book of Destiny, seeing someone clearly write their failure on that book...

Even saints have their pride.

Therefore, the fate of that extraterrestrial being was predictable. As for the destiny talisman, it was extracted and made into a magic weapon, which is now the Destiny Book, and was brought back to Zixiao Palace.

But after bringing it back to Zixiao Palace, the Dao Ancestor didn't care about it, nor did the Sages. They simply placed it in the square in front of Zixiao Palace. Since it had been refined into the shape of a stone book, it was just used as decoration.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, any powerful being capable of reaching the Purple Cloud Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens can use it.

However, there is a queue because this thing has a cooldown period. After each time a destiny is solidified, you need to wait for the whole thing to evolve before you can solidify the destiny again.

for example.

Guanyin solidified the Journey to the West process into the Heavenly Book. To use it again, it would have to wait until the Journey to the West was over before it could be solidified again.

But this time a problem arose. The fixed destiny was changed. Because the destiny was changed, Guanyin's fixation failed. And someone took this opportunity to fix another prediction, targeting Yang Jian and the Third Holy Mother.

"So, it was you who told the Jade Emperor about this?!" (In the Temple of the Eastern Peak Emperor)
Ao Qian listened as Jiang Chen recounted everything about the Book of Derivation before finally speaking.

“The position of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak is also part of the Heavenly Court system, so naturally he needs to maintain a good relationship with the Jade Emperor. Harmony brings wealth, after all.” Jiang Chen smiled and took a sip of tea. “He has been hiding in the underworld for a long time. Now that he has reappeared, he will definitely have to deal with favors and obligations. Moreover, Yang Jian is involved here. He has done Yang Jian such a big favor, which he will have to repay in the future.”

"Does Yang Jian deserve such a huge favor?!"

"Of course, do you think he's only good at fighting and killing? He's one of the most prominent second-generation figures in the Three Realms, and even in all the heavens and myriad worlds. He was born to be a young master, much better than you, a wild dragon king."

Ao Qian's face darkened. "Since we're going to do a favor, we should see it through to the end. Yang Jian wants to investigate Liu Yanchang's ancestral background for eight generations. Can he find out?"

“It’s been prepared for a long time.” Jiang Chen smiled and tossed a jade talisman to Ao Qian. “Liu Yanchang’s ancestors for eight generations are nothing special, they just have some luck. You can’t find out anything through this line of inquiry.”

Ao Qian took the jade talisman, scanned it with his divine sense, and frowned. It was just an ordinary family. Because their ancestors had accumulated good deeds and had some reputation, they lived well in the underworld. One of their ancestors was even a minor official in the underworld. Apart from that, there was nothing special about them.

"I have a question: is it true that as long as I can reach Zixiao Palace, I can use the Destiny Derivation Book?!"

"Yes!" Jiang Chen nodded. "The problem is, even if we have the ability to reach Zixiao Palace, are we qualified to go?"

"qualifications?!"

"That's the Purple Cloud Palace. Do you think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can barge in? Even if you have the ability to get there, you still need permission to enter the Purple Cloud Palace. Otherwise, you'll definitely be in trouble. I don't even dare to go now," Jiang Chen said, pursing his lips.

"Then how did you know..."

"Third Holy Mother, Chenxiang, don't you know? Considering what happened to the Jade Emperor, it must be because of the Book of Evolution. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?"

"We all know, but they don't?"

"You think the Jade Emperor is truly all-powerful? The Jade Emperor you see now is merely an avatar. The true Jade Emperor has already reincarnated. As for Yang Jian, he doesn't have that ability yet. The Three Realms now are not the same as the primordial world of yesteryear. Even in the primordial world, no one dared to manipulate the timeline at will. As for why we know..." Jiang Chen glanced at Ao Qian and said, "After the Calamity of the Stars, the Great One took the opportunity to dig out the roots of the Chaos Outer Gods and incorporate them into the Underworld, causing the power of the Underworld to become distorted, connecting every timeline and every moment of all the heavens and myriad realms. So there are many things we know that they don't know. It's not that they can't do it, but that they dare not know, they can't know. There's a Dao Ancestor watching from above."

Seeing the blank look on Ao Qian's face, Jiang Chen said bluntly, "The Dao Ancestor represents order. If you want order to operate smoothly, it is impossible for people to really see the future and travel freely on timelines. Even when he achieved the Great Luo, he could not cover all timelines. In the end, he could only choose one. If a timeline is covered, then that timeline is useless. The Boss represents chaos and disorder. In chaos and disorder, he connected countless timelines and took a different path. We just benefited from the Boss's influence."

"So, the eldest brother and the Dao Ancestor are enemies?!"

"To be precise, they are a unity of opposites. Did you waste your time studying political theory in your past life?"
