Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

"Tongtian... Sage Tongtian, Sage Hongyun, please help me!" Seeing that Hongjun remained silent, Haotian turned to Hongyun and Tongtian for help.

Haotian probably habitually wanted to use his previous title, but suddenly remembered his current identity and changed it. After all, it's not a good thing for the Jade Emperor to call anyone "Master".

Hongyun knew that the Investiture of the Gods was about to be published.

Hongjun calculated with his fingers, then said with a gloomy face, "Stop arguing. Go back to Heaven and take charge!"

Although, it means he doesn't need to worry about the problem.

Haotian still hesitated and refused to leave, looking at Hongyun with a stammering expression, clearly having something to say.

But Hongyun didn't want to hear what he had to say, and urged him again, "Aren't you going back?"

Haotian left dejectedly, which made Hongjun sigh deeply.

Hongyun didn't dare to offend Hongjun, and found a place to calm herself down.

The next day, Hongjun ordered several Heavenly Saints to gather at Zixiao Palace.

Hongyun was also a Heavenly Saint, so he was naturally on the futon below. However, the hatred of the people next to him gave Hongyun a big surprise!

*Ding! 50,000 Anger Points added!*

*Ding! 30,000 Anger Points added.*

Hongjun interrupted Hongyun's conversation with the system, even though she couldn't hear him.

"Alright, the reason I summoned you all here is to discuss the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods."

"Now that a great calamity has befallen us, even the lineage of sages cannot escape it."

"Only by entering the Investiture of the Gods can one have a glimmer of hope," Hongjun suddenly said, taking out the Investiture of the Gods.

"Investiture of the Gods!"

Upon seeing this treasure, all the sages immediately turned their gazes in awe.

After Hongjun finished explaining, everyone understood the origin of the Investiture of the Gods.

In the primordial world, there were three books: the Book of Earth, the Book of Man, and the Book of Heaven. The Book of Earth was in the possession of Zhen Yuanzi, while the Book of Man transformed into the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen when Houtu underwent reincarnation. The Book of Heaven was the Investiture of the Gods and the God-Slaying Whip.

A calamity is imminent, and even saints will find it difficult to escape, let alone their disciples.

Only by filling the Investiture of the Gods list, establishing the divine path, and completing the cycle of celestial fortune can there be hope of resolving the great calamity.

However, the biggest drawback of those who are included in the Investiture of the Gods is that they will be subject to the control of others.

Those whose true spirits have fallen and entered the rankings find it difficult to make any progress in their cultivation; they can only cultivate the divine path and rely on the power of incense offerings to cultivate.

Even if someone is listed in the Investiture of the Gods while still alive, they will be subject to the limitations of the Investiture of the Gods, with a limited upper limit. The biggest drawback is undoubtedly that their true spirit will be imprisoned, and Haotian can decide their demise with a single thought.

However, the Investiture of the Gods was a glimmer of hope amidst the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods. Otherwise, those who perished in the calamity would have no chance of survival, their bodies and souls extinguished.

Hongjun: "The Zhou Tian is incomplete. The Heavenly Court is still missing 365 righteous gods. This great calamity is for the Heavenly Court to confer gods. All those who die because of the calamity will be listed on the Investiture of Gods and will be used by the Heavenly Court from then on."

As soon as the Daoist Ancestor finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. At this moment, anyone who spoke would only invite trouble.

"I respectfully inform the Dao Ancestor that I only have three disciples, so I don't need to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods, right?" Hongyun thought with a glimmer of hope.

Tongtian suddenly realized that his eldest brother's Human Sect only had Xuandu, his second brother's Chan Sect only had twelve disciples plus a Qilin, and Nuwa only had two disciples. It seemed that the Western Buddhism that guided them didn't have many disciples either. So, wouldn't most of these so-called 365 righteous gods have to come from his Jie Sect?

"Master, there are countless wandering immortals in the primordial world, and even more minor demons who fail to achieve their goals through cultivation. Why must they come from the orthodox Taoist sect?"
