Chapter 348: Unavoidable Tribulation, Godly Conferment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A battle between heaven and earth!
After Heavenly Jing’s court announced the news, the world was in an uproar. After the attack of the God of Heaven and Earth, the martial artists did not find it unbelievable. However, when the news reached the ears of the myriad races, it was a huge shock.
They realized a possibility.
That was, the heavens were dominated by humans!
For the powerful races in the Great Wilderness, they all thought that their race was the protagonist of heaven and earth. Even though the Human Race had been influential recently, once they knew that the outer world was dominated by the Human Race, it would have a huge impact on their beliefs.
This matter spread widely in the next ten years. Most races did not believe it and believed that the humans wanted to take the opportunity to unify the Great Wilderness. As for Heavenly Jing, it began to prepare for war.
Ten years passed.
Jiang Changsheng looked up and his gaze pierced through the sky. He saw a vast ray of light similar to the Celestial River that was about to reach the Great Wilderness. Following the ray of light, he saw that there were indeed many martial worlds or stars connected. This allowed him to peek into those martial worlds hidden in the darkness.
It turned out that there were many martial arts worlds that were the same as the Great Wilderness. They were normally far away from the Celestial River and were hidden in the dark. But, right now, they were connected by the light formed by the power of the Celestial River, forming a magnificent scene in the void.
At first glance, it looked like a halo surrounded the spiral Celestial River, but the diameter of the halo was unimaginable.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly thought of an idea.
Would the experts of the Upper Realm descend on the other martial worlds?
When the competition began, the martial worlds would be isolated from the Upper Realm, and existences that surpassed the Martial Emperor Realm could do as they pleased.
On second thought, he felt that he had worried too much.
There were only two people who likely wanted to kill him. One was Divine Lord Zi Huan, and the other was Emperor Jiu Jue. He had already diverted the latter’s attention. Why should the former beat around the bush?
Jiang Changsheng looked at Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan had been imprinted with a reincarnation mark by Jiang Changsheng when he was young. No matter how far away he was, Jiang Changsheng could quickly lock onto him.
Ever since he traveled around the Great Wilderness, Jiang Shan’s potential had been completely unlocked. Although he did not cultivate the Heaven -Deriving Martial Law, he could still become stronger quickly in battle.
The Eternal Killing Star could become stronger by killing!
Even though his hands were stained with blood, fortunately, Jiang Shan did not lose his mind and maintained his original personality.
From the legends that Chang Yaoling had told them, it seemed like the Eternal Killing Star had not lost his mind.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and began to consider something else.
When the martial world opened, should he establish the Heavenly Court in advance and let Jiang Ziyu completely control Heavenly Jing while he allowed the Heavenly Court to grow in the martial world?
Two-pronged development!
The stronger the Heavenly Court was, the stronger Jiang Changsheng’s luck would be. At the same time, the immortal gods would become revered by all living beings, and as the Ancestor of All Immortals, he would naturally obtain more incense points.
Heavenly Jing’s plate was no longer enough. He wanted to look at the other martial worlds.
Heavenly Jing was only the foundation he left for his descendants. In the future, his focus would inevitably be on the Heavenly Court.
Jiang Changsheng made a decision.
This year was the 140th year of the Immortal Era. Jiang Ziyu had trained his troops and expanded his army, waiting for the Martial World Competition to start.
Above the vast galaxy, a floating island floated quietly.
Divine Lord Zi Huan stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down at the vast sea of stars. From this point of view, a ray of light divided the dark void into two, which was extremely eye-catching.
The power of the Celestial River that connected martial worlds in all directions!
The woman in the white dress and the woman in the green dress stood behind her and were also watching.
Divine Lord Zi Huan faintly said, “People of the Ye Clan, the Eternal Killing
Star, and the unknown Dao Ancestor, I’m afraid this Martial World
Competition is not that simple.”
The white-robed woman asked curiously, “You mean that the mysterious existence that brought the Great Wilderness Martial World into the competition is not Emperor Jiu Jue, but someone else?”
Divine Lord Zi Huan said, “That’s right. Even I found that the Ye Clan had escaped into the Great Wilderness Martial World. Naturally, not to mention those existences, but they did not dare to ignore the Divine Martial Realm and invade the martial world. In addition, the descent of the Eternal Killing Star has yet to be investigated. The Great Wilderness Divine Lord might know, but unfortunately, he is already dead.”
“Even though I am afraid of the Dao Ancestor, I have no choice but to sympathize with him. He is really plagued by calamities. I wonder if he can escape the calamity this time.”
Speaking of this, Divine Lord Zi Huan sighed.
When she conversed with Jiang Changsheng previously, she was not pretending to be helpless. She was indeed helpless. She even regretted agreeing to the Great Wilderness Divine Lord’s proposal. She was afraid that she would not be able to protect herself in the vortex of unknown conflict.
A purple-dressed woman suddenly said, “Divine Lord, our people have already descended to the Lower Realm. We will definitely detect any movements down there.”
Divine Lord Zi Huan nodded. She turned her head and looked into the distance. On the other side of the Celestial River, there was also a floating island standing above the resplendent galaxy.
In the 141st year of the Immortal Era, the power of the Celestial River passed through the Great Wilderness Martial World, causing a drastic change in the weather, but the earth did not trigger a natural disaster.
The Martial World Competition had officially begun!
In July, Jiang Changsheng summoned Jiang Ziyu and told him about the conferment.
“This list is for the gods in the court. Prepare in advance and get someone to replace them.”
Jiang Changsheng handed over a scroll and Jiang Ziyu hurriedly opened it. Just the first few names made his eyelids twitch.
With the arrival of the Martial World Competition, he still wanted to show off his skills. However, with Jiang Changsheng’s ascension, many of his plans would be disrupted.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable when that day came. He was now standing on the side of the emperor.
“Father, once you become a god, the court of Heavenly Jing will change!” Jiang Ziyu said with a bitter expression.
Jiang Changsheng snorted and said, “Can’t you promote and nurture them yourself? Don’t forget, if I take them away, you will still have to lead them when you ascend in the future. Sooner or later, the position of the Heavenly Emperor will be yours.”
When the order of the Heavenly Court stabilized, he would give up his position to Jiang Ziyu sooner or later. Then, he would be the high and mighty Dao
Ancestor, the Ancestor of All Immortals, and concentrate on his cultivation.
Just like in the past, Jiang Ziyu was the Emperor’s son, and he was his backer.
However, in the Heavenly Court, such a relationship would last forever.
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu’s mood improved and he could only accept it helplessly.
After the father and son discussed, they decided to start the ascension on the day of the new spring ten years later. At the same time, Jiang Ziyu would ascend the throne.
Godly Conferment!
The Crown Prince issued a public decree to the world to announce this huge matter, causing the world to be greatly shocked!
With the exception of Jiang Changsheng’s believers, most people thought that the Dao Ancestor was just making a fool of himself. However, they did not expect that day to really come.
The Dao Ancestor would soon ascend, and while doing so, promote 365 legitimate gods and 100 ,ooo Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. From the officials in the court to the commoners, it was possible for anyone to gain merit. This made the people of Heavenly Jing excited and this matter was also spread to the other races.
Lin Haotian, who was far away in the Bluestone Tribe, hastily found Jiang Jian.
“Jiang Jian, hurry up and go back. Senior is about to become a god, we can’t miss it!”
Lin Haotian said excitedly. He wished he could pull Jiang Jian away immediately.
Ever since they led the warriors of the Bluestone Tribe to Heavenly Jing, the Bluestone Tribe had been greatly affected. All these years, they had been discussing whether they should rely on Heavenly Jing.
Jiang Jian was training in the forest. When he heard Lin Haotian’s words, he hesitated.
Lin Haotian glared at him and said in exasperation, “What are you hesitating for? Haven’t you been with your woman long enough? Jiang Jian, don’t forget who you were before. Did you train in martial arts to indulge in lust? If that’s the case, why did we come to the depths of the Great Wilderness?” Jiang Jian’s expression changed drastically.
“The gap between us is getting wider and wider. Do you still want to be surpassed by the Five Dragons of Heavenly Jing? Not to mention Jiang Tianming, even the youngest Jiang Shan has already revealed his talent. You want to waste your talent? Are you worthy of your father and the nurturing of your seniors?”
Lin Haotian expected better from him. If it were not for Jiang Jian, he would have left the Bluestone Tribe a long time ago. He had been waiting for the day when Jiang Jian would let go.
Jiang Jian’s expression changed.
Lin Haotian’s words were like a knife that pierced through his heart.
At the thought of his grandfather, he felt ashamed.
That’s right, he could let down anyone, but could he let down his grandfather?
He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, but I want to bring them back to Heavenly Jing.”
“Haha, of course. Hurry up and prepare. Ten years is too short. Don’t miss it!” Lin Haotian patted Jiang Jian on the shoulder and then disappeared.
Jiang Jian looked up. The sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves and shone on him, making him feel as if a lifetime had passed.
It had been many years since he returned, but Great Jing had already begun to confer gods…
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Bai Qi wagged her tail in front of Jiang Changsheng and begged.
Golden Crow and White Dragon had also arrived and looked at him pitifully. Tai Wa was calm while Tai Xi was nervous.
They all wanted to become gods!
“Master, please take me with you. You can do whatever you want with me. I am your most loyal lackey!”
Bai Qi licked Jiang Changsheng’s sleeve and said in an extremely charming manner.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly enjoyed its disgusting behavior. After all, he had not seen her for many years.
He said, “You have accompanied me for so many years, so I will naturally not forget you. As the saying goes, once a person obtains the Dao, even chickens and dogs will ascend to the heavens. I can let you ascend to the heavens, but the position of god requires your performance. If you let down the responsibility of a legitimate god, be careful of losing the position of god.”
As soon as he said that, Bai Qi, White Dragon, and the others thanked Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng was also a human. Humans were selfish, but to a different extent. Even though he always bullied Bai Qi, he had long regarded her as one of his own. He had always favored his own people.
He suddenly thought of those old immortals in Journey to the West who had mounts and pets by their side. If Bai Qi and the White Dragon became invincible existences in the world, what would Jiang Changsheng’s image be in the eyes of the common people?
He was looking forward to it!
After some excitement, Tai Wa and Tai Xi left with Golden Crow and White Dragon, leaving Bai Qi behind.
Bai Qi was so excited that she was about to faint. The moment the door of the Purple Cloud Palace closed, she transformed into a coquettish woman and began to…
“Don’t be unbridled. I asked you to stay because I want to teach you. Even though I have given you the fate of an immortal god, your growth is too slow. Besides, you can’t be so indulgent when you become a god in the future.”
Jiang Changsheng said solemnly, scaring Bai Qi.
Bai Qi hastily nodded and said, “I am only like this in front of you. In front of outsiders, I am very cold…”
She was not lying. There were many aristocrats in Jingcheng who wanted to curry favor with her, but she did not even look at them unless the other party gave her a lot of gifts.
Then, Jiang Changsheng began to tell it the role of a god.
Bai Qi listened obediently, but she was thinking about how to seduce Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng was also considering what position Bai Qi should assume.
The Plague God?
This fellow will be very compatible with this position!
