With a slight thought, the entire Myriad Laws Source Pool suddenly erupted with chaotic divine light that pierced the sky!
Countless other world laws that had been analyzed and tamed surged into that golden-green special law, like rivers flowing into the sea!
The divine tree itself trembled violently, and its main roots, as thick as mountains, reached into the source pool, pouring in the purest core laws of the Heavenly Court, representing "order," "rule," "plunder," and "eternity," as if casting divine iron!
"Congeal!"
Uchiha Ei's decree was like a divine pronouncement!
At the center of the Pool of Myriad Laws, the struggling source of laws began to undergo a dramatic change in form under the tempering of the vast power!
A phantom image of an ancient, thick book, neither gold nor jade, neither leather nor silk, slowly coalesced into shape!
The book's cover has no text, only a relief of a towering divine tree that pierces through the stars, exuding supreme majesty that suppresses all realms!
Within the pages of the book, there is not paper, but a river of laws flowing with chaotic colors. Countless intricate runes rise and fall within it, and the golden-green essence of "spiritual symbiosis" and "true name contract" can be vaguely seen as the core thread running through the entire book.
"The Investiture of the Gods! Its prototype is complete!"
An indescribable, immense pressure instantly swept across the entire Great Luo Realm!
No matter where they were in the Heavenly Court, all the celestial officials, generals, soldiers, and goddesses who had reached a certain level of cultivation, as well as the "sinful gods" imprisoned in the Well of Conversion, felt a sudden tremor in the depths of their souls!
It was as if a pair of supreme eyes had opened, scrutinizing their true names and existence!
A yearning and agitation originating from the very source of life, accompanied by a hint of fear of being bound by the unknown, grows wildly in the hearts of all living beings!
"Longevity... the true Dao Fruit of Longevity, which is based on the Heavenly Court's order... is about to appear in the world!"
The same shocking thought resonated in the hearts of countless ancient beings.
……
The Grand Ceremony of Conferring Gods at the Lingxiao Palace.
The Heavenly Calendar, year 258, Frost Month, Jiazi Day.
The entire Great Luo Realm was shrouded in an atmosphere of unprecedented solemnity and fervor.
Celestial music filled the air, auspicious clouds stretched for miles, mythical beasts roared, and rosy light illuminated the eternal celestial palace.
However, beneath this magnificent spectacle lies a surging desire and competition powerful enough to consume the heavens!
The Lingxiao Palace was more magnificent than ever before. The imperial throne hung high, and the figure of Uchiha Sō was shrouded in chaotic divine light, exuding boundless majesty, like an embodiment of the Great Dao.
Before him floated the final version of the Investiture of the Gods!
It is no longer a phantom, but a real entity.
The dark gold book exudes a warm and timeless luster, and the bas-relief of the divine tree on the cover is lifelike, as if it were rooted in all the heavens and the myriad worlds.
The book opened slightly, revealing a river of chaotic laws flowing within that exuded an aura that both thrilled and inspired boundless longing—the key to immortality and the chance to share in the Great Luo Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Emperor!
Beneath the main hall, all eight celestial deities were seated!
They represented the core and most powerful force of the Great Luo Heavenly Court, yet at this moment, without exception, their gazes were fixed intently on that dark gold book.
Deep within the crimson Rinnegan of Madara Uchiha, the master of the fighting faction, burns an absolute thirst for eternal power.
Immortality? To him, it meant having unlimited time to pursue greater power and conquer a wider world!
Restraint? As long as the power is strong enough, what is there to fear from restraint?
He was the first to step forward, kneeling on one knee, his voice cold yet resolute: "Your subject, Uchiha Madara, Lord of the Fighting Division, is willing to offer my true name on the list, to forever guard the Heavenly Court and protect Your Majesty's lineage!"
The Lord of the Lightning Department, Hashirama Senju, had a complex look in his eyes, but more so a determination to establish an eternal order of peace.
Immortality means that he can forever protect this hard-won order.
He followed closely behind Madara and said in a deep voice, "Your subject, Hashirama Senju, Lord of the Raibu clan, is willing to offer his true name to oversee all the heavens and uphold the laws of the Heavenly Court!"
The Plague Queen, Tsunade, was elegant and noble, with a glint of shrewdness in her eyes.
For her, the pursuit of immortality and the sharing of the fruits of enlightenment were the ultimate temptations, as she delved into medicine and poisons and sought the mysteries of life.
"Your Majesty, Tsunade, the Queen of Plague, is willing to offer her true name to control all plagues in the heavens and protect all living beings!"
(She specifically mentioned "protecting living beings," which not only showed her loyalty but also implied her expectation of benevolence towards Uchiha Zō.)
Orochimaru, the Lord of the Ministry of Works, has golden snake eyes filled with a fervent passion for the unknown.
The Investiture of the Gods itself is an unprecedented research subject!
Immortality means he has eternal time to explore the truth!
"Hehehe... Your subject, Orochimaru, the Minister of Works, is willing to offer his true name! He is willing to explore the mysteries of the heavens for Your Majesty!"
He licked his lips, his voice hoarse with excitement.
Lord of the Spirit Beasts Department, the Azure Serpent Immortal, possessed a colossal serpentine body coiled around his head, his vertical pupils filled with awe and longing. As a non-human race, his desire for immortality was even greater.
"I, Xuanqing, Lord of the Spirit Beast Tribe, leading billions of spirit races, am willing to offer my true name and pledge eternal loyalty to the Heavenly Court!"
Takahashi, the head of the Commerce Department, is a shrewd logistics manager whose eyes gleam with calculation.
Immortality means the eternal accumulation of wealth and power!
"Your subject, Takahashi, the head of the Commerce Department, is willing to offer his true name to control the wealth of all heavens and enrich my Heavenly Court!"
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the Lord of the Stars, has a cool and aloof demeanor, but deep in her eyes lies a longing for her "home".
Being deified means completely integrating into the Heavenly Court and becoming a true "one of our own".
"I am Kaguya, the Lord of the Stars. I offer my true name to control the movement of the stars and build a heavenly palace."
Obito Uchiha, the head of the Detective Department, has eyes as sharp as an eagle's beneath his mask.
Immortality means eternal execution. For the "perfect world" in Lin's heart, he needs power and time!
"Your subject, Obito, head of the Reconnaissance Department, is willing to offer his true name to command the eyes and ears of the heavens and to discern opportunities for Your Majesty!"
The eight righteous gods, representing the highest level of the Heavenly Court, did not hesitate to offer their true names!
They knew that this was the only ladder to eternity and true core power!
As they made their vows, the Investiture of the Gods shone brightly, and the pages turned automatically. Lines of golden names condensed from pure laws were imprinted on them, each carrying its own unique aura, establishing an unbreakable connection with the Divine Tree Heavenly Dao and the Great Luo Dao Fruit of Uchiha Eboshi!
A powerful, pure force, imbued with the aura of eternity, flowed back, instantly nourishing their immortal bodies and divine souls!
The lifespan constraint that had plagued countless powerful individuals was completely shattered at this moment!
"The path to immortality is within easy reach!"
This scene ignited a frenzy throughout the entire Heavenly Court!
"Wang Hu, Captain of the Vanguard Battalion of the Sinful Army, is willing to offer his true name! He is willing to fight for the Heavenly Court in the myriad realms until his death! He begs for Your Majesty's grace!"
A general who had made great contributions in conquering the world of One Piece, but was still a criminal because of his pirate origins, was so excited that he trembled all over and shouted hoarsely in the square outside the palace.
"Li Yan, the chief of the Seventh Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry, presents the blueprints and principles of the 'Small Thousand Worlds Law Resonance Accelerator'! This is the culmination of my life's work, and I am willing to exchange it for a place at the bottom of the list!"
A technocrat nearly broke his head while offering up his research findings, which he considered his life's work.
"Zhao Ming, Deputy Commissioner of the Thunder Department's Inspection Division, has reported that Liu Neng, the Chief of the Third Division of the Ministry of Commerce, embezzled three thousand catties of stardust and gold dust. The evidence is conclusive! I humbly request Your Majesty to grant me a divine title!"
Informing and infighting become blatant in the face of absolute self-interest.
"All soldiers of the Third Legion of the Heavenly Army of the Doubu, hereby pledge: We will conquer the next Lesser Thousand Worlds within three months! We all agree to reduce our salaries by a hundred years, and beg Your Majesty to grant us... ten slots!"
The legion's collective petition was a desperate act of desperation.
For a single spot on the Investiture of the Gods, the people of Heaven were plunged into an unprecedented and brutal "involution"!
The mission to conquer the minor worlds was fiercely contested, completion time records were constantly being broken, and casualty rates were skyrocketing, all without regard for the consequences. As long as enough "merit points" were accumulated, one could exchange them for a qualification assessment to be included on the leaderboard!
Treasured elixirs, rare minerals, and otherworldly artifacts acquired by chance... anyone would risk everything to increase their chances of making the list. Some even went so far as to infiltrate conquered worlds to steal their very essence.
The Ministry of Works' research institute was brightly lit, with all sorts of ingenious ideas and forbidden technologies emerging one after another.
If you can produce results that impress Orochimaru or even the Heavenly Emperor, you'll have a chance to rise to the top in one step.
……
With the emergence of the true Investiture of the Gods, the cohesion of the Great Luo Heavenly Court reached a new level, and the numerous worlds under its rule became increasingly stable.
After all, immortality is the most fundamental pursuit of countless lives.
Now, as long as they join the Great Luo Heavenly Court and make enough contributions, they can "live forever," so how could they not go crazy?
Chapter 273, The First Celestial Gods Assembly
Uchiha Ei sat atop an imperial throne woven from pure Heavenly Laws, surrounded by a chaotic vortex of energy. His aura was now immeasurably deeper and more expansive than before his ascension to godhood.
He slowly opened his eyes, and in those purple-gold pupils that contained the birth and death of all things, it seemed as if billions of stars flowed and countless worlds cycled in creation and annihilation.
The establishment of the Investiture of the Gods was not only the birth of an unparalleled divine artifact, but also a fundamental sublimation of the Heavenly Dao of the Great Luo Realm!
With the true names of the eight righteous gods, and even countless celestial officials and generals of the Heavenly Court, imprinted on it, their "Dao" was established.
The carnage of battle, the judgment of thunder, the life and death of plague, the mysteries of creation, the wildness of spirit beasts, the movement of merchants, the trajectory of stars, the insight of reconnaissance...
These insights into laws and the origins of power from different worlds and systems are continuously flowing into the Great Luo Heavenly Dao controlled by Uchiha Eiji through the invisible bond of the Investiture of the Gods.
The Great Luo Realm Heavenly Dao (Uchiha Eizo's Dao Fruit) is as if it has been infused with the most surging and diverse living water, and it is perfecting, expanding and completing itself at an unprecedented speed!
The once somewhat thin core of plunder and domination is now filled with countless fine "branches" and "leaves" from all the heavens and myriad worlds, becoming lush and verdant, with its roots deeply embedded in the chaotic sea and its canopy covering all the heavens and myriad worlds!
"Hahaha, the conquest of all heavens and the positive cycle of the Great Luo's ascension to the next dimension have finally been achieved!"
Every inch of the Great Luo Realm itself was filled with jubilation.
The concentration of spiritual energy surged once again, and the laws manifested as tangible ribbons that hung down, nourishing all things.
The world's barriers have become more robust and solid, shining with an immortal purple-gold brilliance.
The divine tree itself grew wildly, with countless new branches reaching into deeper levels of the chaotic void, drawing upon more primordial chaotic energy. Its root system, like a purple neural network covering the heavens, injected the order and power of the Great Luo Realm into every conquered world more efficiently and domineeringly.
Uchiha Sō could clearly feel that his power was increasing every moment.
The flashing of each name on the Investiture of the Gods is like a tiny engine, providing him with feedback on faith, understanding of laws, and the origin of the world.
He is the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven is him!
This is the true Great Luo Dao Fruit—I am the world, and the world is me!
