Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 159 The toughest tone, saying the most cowardly words

Chaos Island.

"This Shen Gongbao, his words are truly outrageous." Di Fang couldn't help but shake his head. He had originally thought that Shen Gongbao would go directly to the Jie Sect.

Unexpectedly, Shen Gongbao did not go there. Instead, he bypassed Di Xin and went directly to Wen Zhong. Taking advantage of Wen Zhong's emphasis on the Shang Dynasty, he persuaded Wen Zhong to return to the capital.

As for why Shen Gongbao did this...

Firstly, Wen Zhong was a member of the Jie Sect. If Wen Zhong could resolve the situation in Xiqi, that would be ideal. If he couldn't, then Shen Gongbao would have to seek help from the Jie Sect.

Otherwise, if Shen Gongbao were to go find the Jie Sect members now, you could see if he would get kicked out.

At this time, the Chan and Jie schools are vying for power.

At this moment, Shen Gongbao went up for no apparent reason.

Do you think the Jie Sect members would give Shen Gongbao a friendly look?

of course not.

This is where Shen Gongbao's cleverness lies. If Wen Zhong succeeds, he deserves some credit; if Wen Zhong fails, then he has a reason to seek out fellow Daoists from the Jie Sect.

Wasn't history just like this before?

After Wen Zhong's defeat, Shen Gongbao began to persuade the members of the Jie Sect to send themselves to their deaths one by one.

If Wen Zhong hadn't gotten into trouble, do you think the Jie Sect would have paid any attention to Shen Gongbao?

Definitely not, so Shen Gongbao's move was well-planned.

Di Fang squinted at Wen Zhong.

Although Wen Zhong was a member of the Jie Sect, he was wholeheartedly devoted to the Shang Dynasty. As a result, he was eventually listed on the Investiture of the Gods and became the highest righteous god of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable!

While it's not bad, it still comes down to this: once you're on the Investiture of the Gods list, it's like having a chain around your neck; there's no way to get out of it.

Cultivation is impossible if you want to cultivate. There are no restrictions on the physical body being on the list, but there are restrictions on the primordial spirit being on the list.

They were basically no different from slaves; they couldn't cultivate, and although they had their own status, they ultimately had no freedom.

It's a real shame.

Then the Emperor turned his attention to Xiqi Fangxiang.

From the Emperor's perspective, he had changed many things, but many things remained unchanged. For example, Nezha, Yang Zai, and Lei Zhenzi, as the chosen ones destined for the Investiture of the Gods, still came to Xiqi.

"It's all about timing and fate," Di Fang murmured.

There are many regrettable characters in the Investiture of the Gods, such as Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and Wen Zhong.

In the end, none of them turned out well; they were all directly listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

However, this is also the natural order of things; the principle of decline follows prosperity.

To some extent, aren't these great calamities that humanity has faced also a result of humanity's own excessive strength?

Heaven's justice is impartial, yet it is also unjust!

The greatest fairness is the greatest unfairness.

From any perspective, this is true. To some extent, the Jie Sect was destined to decline; it's just a matter of how it declined.

The fortune of the Jie Sect is too immense, especially now.

The Heavenly Court needed to fill its manpower gap, and the Jie Sect was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Every drink and every bite is preordained." Di Fang couldn't help but shake his head.

"Dad, what are you saying?" Di Zixuan quietly ran up behind Di Fang and asked him.

Di Fang looked at Di Zixuan.

"You little rascal, where's your little brother?" Di Fang asked, looking at Di Zixuan.

This little one was locked up by her mother, but now she's run away again.

"Solitary confinement is too boring, so I came out to clear my head," Di Zixuan said with an air of maturity, her hands behind her back.

"?" Di Fang looked at Di Zixuan. Being confined was too boring, so she came out to relax.

Good grief, you really don't respect your mother at all.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by your mother?" Di Fang asked Di Zixuan, his lips twitching slightly.

"I'm scared," Di Zixuan said loudly, using the hardest tone to utter the most cowardly words.

Di Fang looked at Di Zixuan with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. This little one only remembers the good times but not the bad ones. Every time she gets punished, she cries and whine, but she basically forgets about it very quickly and goes back to doing whatever she wants.

"I'm afraid you'll sneak out again. Aren't you afraid your mother will beat you?" Di Fang said helplessly.

"Beat me up? I'll take it if you want, I'm used to it anyway," Di Zixuan said with a pout.

Di Fang looked at Di Zixuan. This little one didn't get a beating for nothing; she really asked for it.

In the chat group!!

[Liang Bing: @Big Boss Fan Girl Liu Feiye, come out and do some dungeon runs, I'm going to beat it today!]

[Big Boss Fangirl Liu Feiye: ? Stop talking, go find someone else. You fucking torment me every time, not once have you shown any kindness. And the most outrageous thing is that every negative buff is brutal, ruthless, and indiscriminate. I've been killed by you so many times.]

[Liang Bing: Trust me, baby, it was just an accident, you should know that.]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the boss: ? You said the same thing last time, and the time before that too. I want to team up with Keisha, and Keisha always says virtuous things.]

[Liang Bing: Damn, what do I lack compared to Keisha?]

[Keisha: Is that even a question? What do you have that I can match?]

[Tony: Emmmm, they're all pretty much the same, but Liang Bing, your torture of me every time is really outrageous.]

[Liang Bing: ....]

[Ye Hei: Another new person in the group?]

[Big Boss Fangirl Liu Feiye: Ye Hei, you're finally out! How have you been lately?]

[Ye Hei: It's alright. Things are still the same lately, but we're back on track, thanks to the Immortal Martial Arts.]

[Tony: I've always wanted to ask a question, what does it feel like to cultivate?]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big boss: That's the feeling when you're cultivating.]

[Tony: That feeling?]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big shot: That's exactly right.]

Tony: ...

[Nangong Bushe: They're not from the same system. Actually, cultivation and technology aren't that different. The only difference is that cultivation relies on oneself, while technology relies on external tools.]

[Ye Hei: Yes, we're on different paths, so there's no way to compare. Technology can also produce incredibly powerful weapons.]

[Nangong Bushe: I remember there was a mecha comparable to the Great Sage or a saint in the later parts of Ye Hei's memory instance, right?]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big shot: Yes, but it's not purely technology; there are also weapons that combine fantasy elements. The inscriptions on them are the key.]

[Tony: So, does that mean I can also go down this path?]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of Tony: Theoretically, it's possible. In the Marvel multiverse, there's one where you even became the Sorcerer Supreme, which means Tony also has the potential to embark on a path of spiritual cultivation.]

In the Marvel universe, Tony stroked his chin, looking at the cultivation methods in the store, wondering if he should give it a try.

Tony: Now that you mention it, I guess I could actually give it a try.

[Nangong Bushe: It's worth a try.]

[Tony: It's decided then. I'm still thinking about how to improve the nanotech armor's strength. If we could add runes from the cultivation system, it would be pretty good.]

[Big Boss Fangirl Liu Feiye: 6, the current timeline is at most the Iron Man 2 timeline, and you've already developed nanotech armor?]

[Tony: Yeah, what's the problem? Isn't this something anyone can do?]

[Liang Bing: ? Armor? Isn't that obsolete? No way, no one would pursue the technological path and not become a god, right?]

Tony: ...
