Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ze was crawling all over the floor inside the Pangu Palace.

This child is indeed a genius.

At the age of three, he could help the Holy Mother of Wudang check accounts, and at the age of five, he could point out the waste in the cost of refining weapons by Daoist Duobao. Now, Duobao avoids him whenever he sees him, fearing that this little ancestor will deduct his allowance.

Meanwhile, the general trend of the primordial world was also quietly changing.

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun has been in a bad mood lately.

Very bad.

According to his original plan, the Jie Sect, those "wet-born and egg-transformed" people, should have already been in decline and plagued by internal strife.

But now?

The Jie Sect not only didn't fall into chaos, but its fortune soared because of its marriage alliance with the Wu Clan.

Even Wudang, who was originally virtually invisible, had a son who became the acting leader of the Jie Sect and managed the sect very well.

The disciples of the Jie Sect used to be very undisciplined, but now they are all as well-behaved as quails, and they even know to line up when they go out.

How could the Chan sect, which has always prided itself on its "rules," possibly accept this?

"We can't wait any longer."

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on his cloud bed, holding the Investiture of the Gods in his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods must begin as soon as possible. Since the Intercepting Sect is not causing chaos, then I will help them cause chaos."

"White Crane Boy, go and summon Jiang Ziya."

After a while.

An old Taoist priest with white hair and a frail appearance walked in.

Jiang Ziya has been on the mountain for forty years, but his cultivation has been in vain. Now he can't even climb the clouds, and he's good for nothing except eating.

But in the eyes of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, this was a treasure.

Because he has the "appearance of a flying bear," he is destined to be a god.

"Disciple Jiang Shang greets Master." Jiang Ziya knelt down tremblingly.

"Ziya, how many years have you been on the mountain?" Yuanshi Tianzun tried his best to make his voice sound kind.

"Reporting to Master, it has been forty years."

"Yes, forty years have passed. You were born with a short life, unable to achieve immortality, and can only enjoy the blessings of the mortal world. Now, the fate of the Shang Dynasty has run its course, and the Western Zhou should rise. Go down the mountain now, assist a wise ruler, and bestow divine titles on behalf of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziya burst into tears.

"Master! This disciple doesn't want to go down the mountain! This disciple only wants to serve Master on the mountain, even if it's just sweeping the floor!"

He really didn't want to go down the mountain.

What's so great about being down the mountain? It's a chaotic place, full of war. Even though your cultivation level is lower up on the mountain, at least you get food and lodging, and you're a disciple of a sage—that's a lot of prestige to talk about.

"Nonsense! Fate has been decided; how dare you try to shirk your responsibilities?"

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning's expression darkened.

"Pack your things and get out of here... oh no, get out of here now."

Jiang Ziya had no choice but to pack a small bundle with a long face and leave Yuxu Palace, looking back every few steps.

What he didn't know was.

The moment he stepped out of Kunlun Mountain.

The Pangu Temple is located hundreds of millions of miles away.

Lin Xuan was holding a fishing rod, fishing in the void in front of him.

"The fish has finally taken the bait."

Lin Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"Husband, what are you fishing for?"

Ao Ling, dressed in red dragon scale armor, was munching on an apple when she curiously approached.

"Let's catch a bear," Lin Xuan said.

"Bears? Iron-eating beasts? Aren't there a bunch of them in the back mountains?"

"Not that kind of bear, but a flying bear with wings."

Lin Xuan put away his fishing rod and stood up.

"System notification: Jiang Ziya has descended the mountain."

[Ding! Main quest triggered: The God-Investiture Mastermind.]

[Mission Objective: Intercept Jiang Ziya and seize control of the Investiture of the Gods.]

[Note: Although the Investiture of the Gods is in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun, the God-Slaying Whip is in the hands of Jiang Ziya. As long as we control Jiang Ziya, how the Investiture of the Gods is conducted is entirely up to us.]

Lin Xuan stretched.

"Wife, prepare the car... oh no, prepare the dragon."

"Where to?"

"There's a traffic jam on the way to Xiqi."

A glint of wisdom shone in Lin Xuan's eyes.

Did Yuanshi Tianzun want Jiang Ziya to assist Xiqi in bringing down the Shang Dynasty?

Keep dreaming.

Jiang Ziya was an honest man, and he was the easiest to fool.

As long as I intercept him first, brainwash him, and make him understand what "true justice" is and what "the hypocrisy of the Chan Sect" is.

If Jiang Ziya were to take the God-Slaying Whip and defect to the Shang Dynasty, or perhaps to the Wu tribe...

Just thinking about that scene is exciting!

"Yuanshi, Yuanshi, you treat the Investiture of the Gods as a treasure, but you throw the person who holds the list down the mountain like trash."

"Don't blame me for taking advantage of this."

Lin Xuan took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, Jiang Ziya was riding a Qilin (actually, he wasn't riding it yet, but walking), walking alone in the wilderness, his heart filled with confusion.

"What can this old man do down the mountain?"

"Fortune telling? Setting up a stall? Or selling noodles?"

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly, a teahouse appeared ahead.

A young gentleman sat in the tea stall, smiling at him and holding a steaming cup of tea in his hand.

"Grandpa, you must be tired after walking for so long. Would you like a cup of tea?"
