When he stepped into the hall, the golden mist twirling around the Nine Cloud Crown gradually receded, and the white cranes on his crimson silk robe flew amidst the clouds, adding a touch of ethereal elegance.
No matter how one looked, he appeared as a classically handso man of exceptional grace.
The Great Emperor of Shang—Cheng Tang.
Nuwa and Spiritual Treasure turned their gazes towards him.
This Cheng Tang was none other than Yuan Feng, who had replaced Yuan Huang to transform the Dao on the battlefield of Buzhou Mountain!
"Daoist, have you reached the Other Shore Realm now?" Nuwa asked.
Cheng Tang gently shook his head, "I am ashad to say I still lack so aspects despite the tutelage of both Supres."
Lingbao Tianzun said, "No matter, when the Investiture of the Gods is born, the Qi Fortune of the Mortal Realm will reach its peak, and by then Nuwa and I can assist you in reaching the Other Shore!"
"Then I must thank both Supres!" Cheng Tang smiled, his deanor very amiable, as if he was very familiar with the two Supres.
Subsequently, Cheng Tang and the two Supres laid out detailed plans for the upcoming battle.
Nuwa, while chatting with Cheng Tang, transmitted her voice to Spiritual Treasure Tianzun.
[Daoist, what do you think is the relationship between Yuan Feng and Yuan Huang?]
[The two great ancestors of the Phoenix Clan, what sort of relationship could they have?] Spiritual Treasure Tianzun replied casually, as this was a fact well-known among the Primordial Gods.
Nuwa, however, had a different opinion.
[Is that truly the case?]
As one of the possessors of the Heavenly chanism Dao Fruit, Nuwa had substantial accomplishnts in the Eight Diagrams path.
The Phoenix Clan's [Yuan Feng] was sanctified through Yuan Huang's ability to turn falsehood into reality.
This sanctification occurred on the very day the Dream Demon God first descended upon the Primordial era.
At that ti, shortly after his birth, he utilized the power of the Phoenix Clan to reap a share of the Devouring Demon God's Dao Fruit.
"Alright, the ti has co, let's begin our preparations!"
Saying this, the three Supres arrived at the God Sealing Platform.
With one step, Spiritual Treasure was already atop the Nine Heavens Cloud Peak of the Great Shang Imperial City.
He took out a mysterious list woven with endless cause and fate.
Then, with the unsurpassable great power of an Other Shore Great Power, he transmitted his voice to every corner of the Three Realms!
"I, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun!"
"Today, feeling the disorder of the heavenly order and the impending massacre of immortals, specially established this [Investiture of the Gods] to conform to the mandate of heaven!"
"Beginning today, any with cultivation across the Three Realms, immortals, gods, humans, demons, devils... all who carry cultivation and bear discontent, are welco to enter this great calamity!"
"This battle is not about good or evil, nor right or wrong, but for the chance at a single line of transcendence!"
"All fated ones may enter this list; even if life perishes and the Dao vanishes, the True Spirit shall remain immortal!"
"When the great calamity concludes, and the epochs transition, all those whose nas appear on this list shall receive my decree and accompany through the catastrophe at the end of the epoch into a whole new era!"

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.
Decrees continuously issued from the cloud platform above.
One by one, powerful innate spiritual treasures, strong enough to suppress the fortune of one region, were generously bestowed by Xuanqing upon the various disciples below.
Finally, when everyone had accepted the Dharma Decree and obtained the magic treasures,
Xuanqing slowly stood up.
He spoke loudly to the outside of the mountain gate:
"The mandate of heaven is determined."
"Go forth!"
"Respectfully sending off the Master!"
The Immortals of the Chan Sect collectively perford the final ritual towards Yuxu Palace.
Afterward, they transford into radiant Immortal Light of various hues, casting themselves into the great calamity of the mortal world.
And just as the Immortals of the Chan Sect descended en masse,
in the mortal realm, at the heart of the fortune's gathering place for the Human Race, and currently the most prosperous center of human Dao—the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty, Chao Ge City,
was a scene entirely different.
At the Dao Field of the Jie Sect, Biyou Palace, by then had already transford into an embodint perfectly integrated with the fortune of the entire human Dao dynasty—a mortal world paradise.
Tens of thousands of Jie Sect Immortals from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses had all shed their Immortal deanor and changed into the various levels of official robes of the Great Shang Dynasty.
In the court, they assisted the sagely talent and grand strategy of the Human Race's Common Lord—Shang Tang, handling complex administrative affairs.
Within the military, they trained the fearless soldiers of the dynasty, empowering them with various powerful arrays and runes.
They were also in the fields and countryside, teaching ordinary mortal peasants various Immortal thods to improve farming tools and increase yield.
"Education without discrimination, the Great Dao is fifty, the heaven deducts forty-nine, leaving one for humans!"
This is the doctrine of the Jie Sect.
This is also the foundation upon which Lingbao Tianzun dared to oppose the whole heaven and earth and dared to initiate this Investiture of the Gods great calamity!
On this day, within Biyou Palace, too, the summoning Golden Bell resounded.
Jie Sect's Ten Thousand Immortals gathered here.
Lingbao Tianzun, seated high on the Cloud Platform, with the Exterminating Immortal Array Map filled with endless murderous intent slowly rotating behind him.
His gaze swept across the densely packed mass below; varied in form and differing in race, yet all filled with endless reverence and fervor toward him among the thousands of disciples.
His voice echoed throughout the entire Biyou Palace.
"The Chan Sect has already descended the mountain."
"The Heavenly Court has also deployed troops outside Jiepai Pass."
"They intend, by the so-called 'Heavenly Dao,' to destroy our Jie Sect's teachings and annihilate the foundation of our Human Dao!"
"Are you willing to join in confronting this heaven and battling it out?!"
"Willing to follow the Master, fight to the death!"
"Willing to follow the Master, fight to the death!"
The deafening cries almost seed to turn over the entire ceiling of Biyou Palace.
