Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

Tongtian, Hongjun, Houtu, and Nuwa flew towards the Investiture Platform like shooting stars, without wasting a moment.

With the Conferred God Platform almost within reach, Tongtian's voice, as loud as a bell, resounded through the heavens: "The Conferred Gods ceremony shall be temporarily suspended!" His voice was majestic and resolute, leaving no room for doubt.

Everyone was filled with doubt, but they all knew of Tongtian's boundless divine power, so they all fell silent, standing still, holding their breath and waiting for what would happen next.

Hongjun nodded slightly, stepped forward, looked at everyone, and said, "The invasion of alien races is a cataclysmic calamity for the primordial world. You should all focus on cultivation to cope with this great change. Those with extraordinary talent can follow the Path of Primordial Chaos; those with slightly less talent but who have contributed to the primordial world can be promoted to Heavenly Saints, shouldering the sacred mission of protecting the peace of heaven and earth. However, if the three Saints have the opportunity, they can also attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Primordial Chaos once again, raising their own realm to a higher level."

Hongjun's words were like gentle spring rain, quietly seeping into the depths of everyone's hearts, causing each listener to immerse themselves in deep reflection on their own path of cultivation.

Some were overjoyed, believing themselves to be exceptionally talented and with a promising path to the Primordial Chaos; others, however, were filled with unease, pondering that although they had accumulated some merit in the primordial world, the competition on this path was fierce, and they feared their hopes were slim.

Houtu then moved forward gracefully with light, lotus-like steps, her elegant figure swaying in the wind, yet exuding an aura of unwavering determination.

"There are still five vacancies in the position of Earthly Saint. The same principle applies to the Heavenly Dao. Anyone who has made contributions to the primordial world can be included in the ranks of Earthly Saints."

After the two finished speaking, Nuwa stepped forward, and a huge phantom appeared, visible to the entire prehistoric world. She said softly, "Suirenshi guided the eternal protagonist of heaven and earth onto the right path, his merit will last for thousands of generations, and he should be regarded as a saint of humanity."

As soon as these words were spoken, countless acts of human merit surged forth like a surging, endless golden tide, overwhelming Suirenshi.

Suirenshi felt a powerful yet warm and gentle force enveloping him like a cocoon. His originally calm and still magical power was suddenly stirred up like a lake with a boulder thrown into it, rising uncontrollably.

The seemingly indestructible bottleneck in his cultivation that had bound him for so long was easily shattered under the impact of this powerful force, as vulnerable as a clay chicken or a clay dog.

In the blink of an eye, he successfully stepped into the first level of the Human Saint realm.

Suirenshi was filled with joy and gratitude, and quickly bowed to Nuwa in thanks: "Thank you, Ancestor Nuwa!"

Nuwa nodded slightly, then subconsciously glanced at Fuxi.

Fuxi's expression was calm as still water, like a ripple in an ancient well, but his mind was clear as day, understanding that Nuwa's actions were intended to avoid suspicion.

After all, the relationship between the two was special, and Nuwa's actions were truly well-intentioned, aimed at maintaining order and justice in the prehistoric world. He gave Nuwa a reassuring look, indicating that he understood and had no other thoughts.

"Continue with the conferment of gods!" As Nuwa's voice drifted away, the four figures vanished from their spot, leaving only the Conferment Platform and the others standing alone between heaven and earth.

Standing below the Investiture Platform, Jiang Ziya felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to those tense and solemn days and nights when he discussed the matter of bestowing titles upon the gods with Emperor Xin and his ministers.

Jiang Ziya then forced himself to calm down, cleared his throat, raised the Investiture of the Gods high with both hands, and read it aloud in a booming voice.

"By imperial decree, Duobao is appointed the Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole of Pure Splendor, Zhen Yuanzi the Great Emperor of the Southern Pole of Longevity, Suirenshi the Great Emperor of the Southern Pole of Longevity, Dijun the Great Emperor of the Western Pole of Gouchen, and Wen Zhong the Heavenly Venerable of Nine Heavens Responding to Thunder and Spreading Splendor..."

As he issued his decree of investiture, beams of light shot straight up into the sky. Those who were investiture clearly felt an incomparably powerful force enter their bodies through their pores, and their figures slowly rose into the air, drifting towards their respective divine offices.

Under the pull of this immense power, all the former officials of the Shang Dynasty ascended to immortality. Among them, those who held real power were mostly former officials of the Shang Dynasty who had achieved physical sainthood or those who were close to the human race, while the disciples of the Western Sect and the Chan Sect were all assigned to positions that were nominal and without real power.

Di Xin carefully selected a virtuous and talented successor with the demeanor of a king from among the royal family of Yin Shang to continue the bloodline and heritage of the Shang Dynasty.

Thus, thanks to everyone's painstaking efforts and concerted work, the Investiture of the Gods calamity was finally arranged perfectly.

As Zhen Yuanzi gazed at all this, he silently pondered the future structure and layout of the prehistoric world. He knew that the prehistoric world, having just recovered from a serious illness, needed a more complete and stable order to maintain its stability and development.

Guided by Tongtian, he decided to use the Earth Book as a guide to divide the primordial world into three realms and four continents. He slowly took out the Earth Book, gently raised it into the air, and solemnly swore an oath to the heavens.

"With Heaven, Earth, and Man above, from this day forth, I, the humble Daoist, divide the primordial continent into three realms and four continents. The three realms are the Heavenly Realm, the Earthly Realm, and the Human Realm; the four continents are the Eastern Divine Continent, the Northern Julu Continent, the Southern Jambudvipa Continent, and the Western Niuhe Continent. I hope the three realms will consider this!"

His voice resounded throughout the heavens, echoing in every inch of the primordial land and every corner. Heaven, earth, and humanity all responded, granting his request.

Just then, Nuwa's illusory image appeared, her eyes filled with praise and satisfaction: "Great Immortal Zhenyuan established the Three Realms and Four Continents, and also regulated the primordial earth's veins. He has rendered great service to the primordial world and should be recognized as a sage of humanity!"

After speaking, boundless merit flowed down like a golden river hanging upside down. Zhen Yuanzi felt himself being tightly enveloped by a vast and powerful force. Under the baptism of merit, the meridians in his body were reshaped and rebuilt, constantly expanding and strengthening. His cultivation also broke through the shackles smoothly and naturally, entering the second level of the Human Saint realm.

"Thank you, Nuwa, I will forever remain loyal to the Primordial World!"

The people of the primordial world also bowed and knelt in devout worship, saying, "Greetings, Sage Zhen Yuanzi!"

At the same time, the voices of the three Dao Ancestors and Tongtian rang in the ears of all the saints: "A hundred years from now, a meeting will be held at Zixiao Palace. All saints, please come!"

After that, the primordial world ushered in a century of stable development, and a peaceful and prosperous era slowly unfolded on the primordial land.

A century later, in the Zixiao Palace, all the saints gathered, and everyone looked calmly at the three Dao Ancestors sitting in the high positions, as well as the saint with a glimmer of hope.

Tongtian, Hongjun, Nuwa, Houtu and others sat at the highest position, Di Xin sat below the four, the Human Dao Sage sat on the far left, the Earth Dao Sage sat on the far right, and the Heaven Dao Sage sat in the center.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tongtian nodded and said, "There are two reasons for summoning you all here today. The first is the next great calamity—the Investiture of the Gods calamity—and the second is the matter of the alien invasion!"
