After Xin Huan revealed the secret of heaven, a very illusory divine position appeared on the Investiture of the Gods.

Jiang Ziya issued the jade talisman and golden edict, and Ma Shi was thus made a jinx in Heaven and attained a divine position.

"By the mandate of Heaven, I have finally completed the great task of bestowing titles upon the gods today, and thus have not failed in my mission!"

After Ziya conferred titles upon the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (the righteous gods of the heavens), the gods received their divine registers and went to the Heavenly Court to perform their divine duties.

Before long, the mournful wind by the Conferred God Platform subsided, the gloomy fog cleared, the red sun shone brightly in the sky, and a gentle breeze rippled through the air.

After finishing his business here, Ziya returned to Fenggao, entered the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and went to the Prime Minister's residence to rest.

Before we knew it, the evening had passed.

The following morning, King Wu ascended the main hall for the court session.

In an instant, fragrant mist filled the air in Fenggao City, along with auspicious smoke, the rising sun surrounded by golden light, and celebratory clouds spreading their colors.

All that could be heard was the tinkling of jade pendants at the waists, as the sleeves of the officials' robes danced in the breeze; the shadows of snakes and dragons flickered, and the imperial tents on all sides welcomed the dawn.

After the whip cracked three times, the civil and military officials lined up in their respective ranks.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and a roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami erupted from the main hall.

King Wu, wearing a crown and tassels, arrived at the palace and raised his tent. He then heard the official in charge of the procession deliver an imperial edict: "If there is anything to report, step forward and speak; otherwise, roll up the curtain and the court session will be over."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ziya stepped forward from his rank and entered the hall, prostrating himself as a subject, and said that he had a very important matter to report!

King Wu asked, "What matter does the Prime Minister have to report this time?"

Ziya replied, "Your Majesty, this old minister has already completed the great task of bestowing titles upon the gods yesterday, as ordered by my master!"

"After this, the celestial gods will each have their own masters. After the gods return to their positions, they will be worshipped with incense and will have the power to control the weather and ensure good harvests, as well as the power to reward the good and punish the wicked."

"From this day forward, the Great Zhou dynasty can be passed down for ten thousand generations!"

Ziya then recounted the matter in a few words.

King Wu Ji Fa was originally the ruler of the human race, but due to various coincidences, he failed to become the king and instead became the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, thus greatly diminishing his status.

The Son of Heaven is the son of Heaven!

Although the Zhou emperor was noble, he was slightly inferior to the human king and was no longer destined to become the supreme ruler.

"Okay, okay!"

"Now that the investiture of the gods is complete, and the righteous gods of the Zhou Dynasty have returned to their positions, they should rightfully enjoy the incense offerings and worship of the mortal world!"

Once the Zhou emperor spoke, the Zhou Heavenly God was given a formal title, and thereafter he could preach and manifest his divine power in the human world, earning a continuous stream of incense offerings and merits!

"After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it further enfeoffed various kings!"

"You are all meritorious individuals, and I wish to bestow upon you fiefdoms, but you are all determined not to accept them!"

"Alas! My old friends of yesteryear, now that we have achieved our goals, we must part ways. Who knows when we will meet again!"

King Wu looked at Xin Huan and the others, all of whom were cultivators who had achieved godhood through physical cultivation, and today they had all resigned.

"We were originally hermits who cultivated in seclusion in the mountains, but we were ordered by our master to descend the mountain and come here to survive this tribulation of the immortals!"

"Now that the world is at peace and the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has ended, we should return to the mountain and from now on, we will not concern ourselves with worldly affairs, but focus on cultivating in seclusion in the mountains and strive to attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

Xin Huan stepped forward and spoke to Ji Fa.

"Good, good, good!"

"Worldly riches and honors are not my desire; I thirst for immortality and the fruit of immortality. I beg Your Majesty to order us to return to the mountains."

Li Jing nodded and continued.

"How reluctant I am to part with him!"

Ji Fa knew in his heart that he could not keep these people. These men had made great contributions in battle and were all people whose merits overshadowed their lord!

If they remain in the human world, they will only bring trouble!

Ji Fa feigned reluctance for a while before finally relenting and personally seeing everyone off at the city gate!

"His Majesty!"

"We take our leave now!"

Yang Jian, as the Great Emperor Gouchen, was about to ascend to heaven to report on his duties. After bidding farewell to King Wu, he departed on a cloud of light.

"Emperor Gouchen of the Upper Palace!"

"This is one of the Six Great Emperors of Heaven. Having connections in court makes things much easier; the ancients were right!"

Yuan Hong was extremely envious and couldn't help but say something.

"Yuan Hong, you're not bad either!"

"The Twelve Zodiac Gods, General Shen Monkey!"

"You are a righteous deity of the Heavenly Court's Tai Sui Department, and you achieved godhood in the flesh; such merit is not insignificant!"

Nezha looked at Yuan Hong with great envy.

After Yuan Hong achieved physical godhood, he was selected as one of the Twelve Divine Lords and became the Great General Shenhou of the Heavenly Court!

"Being the Monkey God is no easy task!"

"You are the Great God of the Three Altars and the Seas. When Yang Jian is ordered to subdue demons in the future, he will inevitably rely on you to command troops!"

"At that time, who knows, our Twelve Yuan Chen Divine Lords might also have to chime in on his behalf!"

The Great God of the Three Altars and Seas commands the Taoist army of the three altars. This army is divided into the Upper Altar, the Middle Altar, and the Lower Altar, and can control billions of Taoist soldiers!

"Yang Jian is a true Taiyi True Immortal!"

"He is also the Jade Emperor's nephew and a great protector of the Chan Sect. Having him preside over the Upper Palace is a win-win situation!"

"For this position, just being a good scorer isn't enough!"

"Without a powerful background, Yang Jian would be no match for countless demons. With the two of you here, we have nothing to worry about!"

Xin Huan slowly opened her mouth and spoke to the two of them.

"Sir, where should we go now?"

Both Wu Long and Jin Dasheng were granted divine titles; Jin Dasheng became the Golden Ox Star Lord, and Wu Long became the Mars Star Lord.

However, since they are gods in the flesh, they are not required to obey orders or proclamations, and do not need to be called to work like others!

"You two are hereby conferred divine office!"

"A new opportunity and destiny will surely come in the future!"

"Let us return to the Wuyi Mountain Grotto-Heaven first, so that we can also send the Jade Toad to the Heavenly Court."

"Yu Chanzi is the destined God of Finance!"

"Zhao Gongming is not only the god of the spring plague, but also the righteous god of the Ministry of Finance. Now that he holds both positions, it is time for Yu Chanzi to take over his divine position after he goes to the Heavenly Court!"

Xin Huan turned her gaze to Jin Dasheng and Wu Long!

These two also play a significant role in Journey to the West: The Great Tribulation. Jin Dasheng is the Golden Ox Star in mythology, which is the ox under the command of the Cowherd!

In mythology, the ox in Niulang's name is the Golden Ox Star Lord of Heaven, and Niulang is the Cowherd Star Lord!

The Cowherd Star Lord was banished to the mortal realm because he fell in love with the Weaver Girl, one of the Seven Fairies, and thus had mortal desires.

During the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the Monkey King wreaked havoc at the Peach Banquet.

The Seven Fairy Maidens were tricked by the Monkey King and were punished by the Queen Mother for dereliction of duty. Furthermore, because Zi Nu had fallen in love with mortals, the Seven Fairy Maidens were banished to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation.

After these seven people descended to the mortal realm, they were reborn and entered into tribulations, becoming one of the eighty-one tribulations in Journey to the West!

These seven fairies are none other than the Seven Monsters of the Spider Cave!

After the Cowherd Star Lord descended to the mortal realm, Jin Dasheng also came to the Immortal Realm to undergo tribulation together with the Cowherd Star Lord.

With Jin Dasheng's help, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl finally got married, which became the origin of the Qixi Festival in later generations.

Jin Dasheng cleverly used the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to escape his tribulation, and then embarked on the Journey to the West, becoming one of the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan.

The Seven Fairies also formed a bond with Wu Long because of this incident.

Wu Long and the Seven Fairy Maidens became sworn brothers, and together they became the tribulations in the Journey to the West.

Kim Dae-seung, who faked his death to escape, was even more remarkable.

Who would have known that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, who would later roam the Immortal Realm, was none other than Jin Dasheng before their very eyes.

"Fellow Daoists, farewell!"

"This humble Taoist priest will take his disciple and depart ahead!"

After saying this, Xin Huan bid farewell to the group and, with Wu Long and Jin Dasheng, arrived at the Wuyi Mountain area.

"Ugh!"

"The primordial world is shattered, the earth's veins are gone!"

"Given time, the teleportation arrays in Wuyi Mountain will gradually become ineffective due to the power of time!"

"At that time, if cultivators want to go to the Wuyi Mountain Grotto-heaven, they will probably have to cross hundreds of millions of miles of ancient starry sky roads to reach this strange grotto-heaven world."

Xin Huan sighed and then said softly.

Now, the primordial world is shattered, the innate spiritual energy has disappeared, the six realms have been separated, and the world is no longer a unified whole.

The geological nodes in Wuyishan are also rapidly weakening, and perhaps one day they will be completely annihilated.
