Just invincible, the reincarnation wife asked me to give her inheritance

Chapter 492 Ascending to the Celestial God Rank, Comprehending the Great Dao Laws
"This progress is too slow."

For Ning Qingxuan, obtaining divine power through accepting missions from the Investiture of the Gods was a relatively slow way to advance his strength.

To acquire the combat power of a God-King of the Fourth Tribulation as soon as possible, a new breakthrough must be found.

Furthermore, the Council of Gods may hold the truth behind the world's version changes, which can only be glimpsed by examining the fundamental laws of the universe.

With this thought in mind, he headed to the highest point of the Council of Gods, to the long stairway to godhood atop the endless cosmic palace.

Surrounded by countless stars, each of the floating continents forms a node, making the area around the Divine Ladder seem like a microcosm of the entire Boundless Universe.

Brilliant, magnificent, ancient, and incomparably grand and majestic.

"Xia Li, who has ascended to the divine position, challenges the 149th position of the Investiture of the Gods."

Ning Qingxuan's calm words spread and resounded throughout the world on the Ascending Divine Ladder.

This is the fastest way to obtain a higher divine position within the Council of Gods: defeat the former, replace the former's divine position, and thereby obtain the corresponding authority of the divine position, including the share of divine power source distributed within the Investiture of the Gods.

If the most conventional promotion method is followed, it would undoubtedly require dozens, or even hundreds, of escort missions for starry sky nomads.

The intervals between each mission and opportunity can be as long as decades or even centuries.

Ning Qingxuan couldn't wait, nor did he intend to.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Investiture of the Gods at the end of the Divine Ladder immediately manifested the laws of the Great Dao, the ladder disappeared, and the starry sky and universe changed, causing Ning Qingxuan to stand in a vast space.

Looking up, countless ancient characters are densely distributed around the starry sky, vaguely revealing the true essence of the laws of the Investiture of the Gods.

"Is this the inner space of the Investiture of the Gods?"

Ning Qingxuan seemed to be deep in thought. When he looked ahead again, the void was distorted, and the 149th ranked god in the Council of Gods appeared—the Illusionary God.

His face was cold, his eyes indifferent, and he looked at Ning Qingxuan with contempt.

"Since the beginning of time, you are the first person to dare challenge my divine position."

It is actually quite rare for a god of a lower rank to challenge a god of a higher rank within the Council of Gods.

Because gods of higher ranks are inevitably much stronger than gods of lower ranks, this rule inherited from the Investiture of the Gods is mostly meaningless and merely a formality.

Historically, not only have the number of gods who successfully challenged them been extremely limited, but even the number of gods who attempted to challenge them was very small.

If they fail, they will not only lose face, but also be ostracized by other gods, and will be forever relegated to the margins.

"It wouldn't hurt to give it a try."

Ning Qingxuan replied.

The Illusionary God stood with his hands behind his back, his face still indifferent.

"I remember you. You are the god who has never failed among the high gods, and the god with the best chance of ascending to the position of celestial god in the last thousand years. You should think carefully. If you fail to challenge me, the consequences will be unbearable for you."

Ning Qingxuan cupped his hands in greeting: "Please enlighten me."

The Illusionary God narrowed his eyes, then stopped talking and unleashed an ancient and majestic divine power from his body with a cold snort. The moment it poured out, it caused the entire space to tremble.

A terrifying pressure swept over Ning Qingxuan. Although this power, at the fourth level of the God King realm, was enough to easily suppress a third-level God King, Ning Qingxuan remained unfazed. In fact, this pressure did not even tear through his divine domain.

The reason Ning Qingxuan dared to challenge Huan Tianshen was that he had already thoroughly understood Huan Tianshen's strength, supernatural abilities, and techniques.

"Remove the divine finger."

He extended a finger towards the Illusionary God, his divine domain enveloping the spell, annihilating the Illusionary God's oppressive storm along its path. Upon descending before the Illusionary God, the latter suddenly sensed the collapse of his own divine power. His heart sank, and he drew his divine weapon from his spatial storage—a seven-colored trident—attempting to counter this unprecedented divine technique.

Unexpectedly, the moment the two forces collided, Ning Qingxuan's figure suddenly disappeared from sight.

A chill suddenly ran through Huan Tianshen's heart. He looked up abruptly, his pupils shrinking sharply.

He saw an immeasurable giant, in the form of Ning Qingxuan. The giant's palm, pressing down on him, instantly blocked his entire vision, and even before it got close, it had already generated terrifying destructive power.

Along the way, it seemed that even the space of the Investiture of the Gods was on the verge of destruction!

"What is this?"

The Illusionary God was greatly alarmed and felt a chill run down his spine.

He could only hold the seven-colored trident and turn it to stab the giant with a palm strike.

boom!
Ripples spread through space, and the destructive power swept across the eight wastelands. If one were not within the space inside the Investiture of the Gods, the collision of this power would have already shattered countless stars.

Immediately afterward, the Illusionary God sensed that the strange spell that stripped away divine power had also arrived before him, causing the source of power within his body to dissipate on the spot.

This battle, which was originally a foregone conclusion and was far superior to Ning Qingxuan's strength, became unbearable due to the combined attack of the two spells. In an instant, he was struck by the giant's palm, causing his eyes to bulge, blood to spurt from his seven orifices, and his divine body to be splattered with blood mist.

Rumbling--

The Illusionary God was completely suppressed. The Seven-Colored Trident struck his chest, and with his hair disheveled, he lost the ability to continue fighting.

"Where did you learn your divine magic?"

Huan Tianshen struggled to his feet. The two divine techniques Ning Qingxuan used did not exist in the Council of Gods, nor in the Investiture of the Gods.

"I created it myself."

Ning Qingxuan replied calmly, without any concealment.

"Homemade?"

The God of Illusion paused slightly, then fell into a deep silence.

The next moment, the surrounding starry sky changed, the God-Ascension Ladder reappeared, and the divine position belonging to the Illusionary God was stripped away and replaced by Ning Qingxuan.

In an instant, Ning Qingxuan discovered that he had formed a closer connection with the Investiture of the Gods, and that he now had the authority and qualifications to go to other areas of the Council of Gods that he had previously been unable to reach.

The Illusionary God did not seem to be disappointed by the defeat. He just gave Ning Qingxuan a deep look, then left without saying a word, returning to the floating continent under his jurisdiction to heal his wounds.

“Every so often, the Investiture of the Gods will distribute divine power, just like a salary from a dynasty. All you have to do is wait.”

Ning Qingxuan did not leave. He continued to sit cross-legged at the bottom of the ladder to godhood, waiting for the divine power to descend while trying to decipher the ancient characters he had seen inside the Investiture of the Gods.

Under the influence of primordial divinity, photographic memory was merely the foundation of his comprehension.

Even though he had left the inner space of the Investiture of the Gods, he was still able to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao.

However, this may be the most complex and highest-level Great Dao Law that Ning Qingxuan has ever seen in his life.

To comprehend its profound mysteries and master it is no easy task; even with primordial divinity, it may still take a considerable amount of time.

At the same time, the news that Ning Qingxuan challenged the Illusionary God and successfully advanced to the position of a god also affected the entire council due to the changes in the ranking of the gods on the Investiture of the Gods.
