Lin Qing didn't know much about the Investiture of the Gods war, but he had read a post before that explained the Investiture of the Gods in detail.
There are six causes for the Investiture of the Gods war!
First, the twelve disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, the leader of the Chan Sect, committed a sin in the mortal world and were to be punished by death. This was the calamity of the Twelve Golden Immortals!
Second, the Jade Emperor ordered the twelve immortals to submit to him, and the conferment of gods was to select servants for the Jade Emperor!
Third, the three teachings of Manchu, Chan, and Jie were discussed together, and a total of 365 gods were compiled, which were divided into eight parts: the upper four parts are Thunder, Fire, Plague, and Fighting, and the lower four parts are the constellations, the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the gods of rain and clouds, and the gods of good and evil.
Fourth, the Shang dynasty will be destroyed, the phoenix will sing on Mount Qi, and the Zhou dynasty will rise again.
Fifth, all the gods and immortals in the Three Realms have broken the precepts, and a cleansing is needed!
Sixth, Jiang Ziya enjoyed the blessings of a high-ranking official!
The three religions of Man, Chan, and Jie consulted and established the Investiture of the Gods. Those with good fortune were included in the Investiture of the Gods and became gods.
What is a god? To put it nicely, a god is immortal and high above; but to put it bluntly, a god is just a laborer.
He's a high-level employee working for the Jade Emperor, and if he doesn't do a good job, he'll get whipped a few times by the divine whip!
The purpose of the Investiture of the Gods was to deify people and grant them immortality, but at the same time, the souls and spirits of those listed were locked inside the Investiture of the Gods.
The God-Slaying Whip is used to strike the souls of these gods. Once someone is included in the Investiture of the Gods, they can only obey the master of the Investiture of the Gods.
Therefore, no one wanted to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods. Moreover, the cultivators of the three religions—Human, Chan, and Jie—were all high-ranking immortals, backed by the sages of the three religions; none of them wanted to become servants of Haotian!
Therefore, Lin Qing was extremely shocked when he saw the punishment for failing the mission.
If it's just that I can't travel to the next world, Lin Qing doesn't think it's a big deal; it's not something to be ashamed of.
However, if the mission fails and Lin Qing is listed on the Investiture of the Gods, it would mean that his life would be in the hands of others, making him like a slave.
Can Lin Qing hold back? Therefore, this time Lin Qing will go all out. Lin Qing doesn't think he can defeat the entire Heavenly Court or the three religions of Humanity, Chan, and Jie.
Having made up his mind, Lin Qing prepared to take a look around at the surrounding environment.
He then saw that he was actually hovering on a huge stone pillar, and his body was almost fused to it, it looked like he hadn't moved for at least a hundred years.
A piece of information automatically appeared in his mind: Ao Qing, that's Lin Qing's name.
[Ding! Side quest issued. Please check it yourself.]
Side quest: Seize the Spirit Pearl before Shen Gongbao and put it into Ao Bing's dragon egg.
Mission Reward: 10 million Evolution Points.
Mission failure: No penalty
"Spirit Pearl? Shen Gongbao?" Lin Qing racked his brains but couldn't think of any Spirit Pearl in Nezha's body. He then thought about the name of the world.
"Ne Zha" should be a movie. Lin Qing hasn't seen it, so it seems he filmed it after he traveled through time.
Lin Qing frowned and said, "Sigh, not having the advantage of knowing the plot is really troublesome."
"System, is there any way for me to find out the plot of this world?"
Please check the World Shop.
Lin Qing's expression immediately changed from ecstatic to hesitant: "World Shop? Oh my god, I'd completely forgotten about this. Hmm, no, why would I forget about the World Shop?"
The World Shop only sells items that the host needs; once the host no longer needs them, they will be automatically forgotten.
Lin Qing: ""
What could he say? Helpless, Lin Qing hurriedly opened the World Shop. There weren't many products; only two.
World Player: Displays this world as a movie (TV series, novel, anime). (This product will exist permanently upon the next host advancement.)
Price: One million evolution points.
The Heavenly Secrets Formation: Can conceal one's own heavenly secrets, preventing them from being known to outsiders. (Except for the Honggou Ancestor (Heavenly Dao) of this world.)
Price: 5 million evolution points + 100,000 luck points.
"These are great products!" Lin Qing's eyes lit up as she looked at the two products.
The World Player is essentially allowing Lin Qing to read the original story of that world, which greatly gives Lin Qing a significant advantage.
The Heavenly Secrets Formation is even more powerful. You must know that in Nezha's world, there are countless powerful beings, and many of them can predict Lin Qing's fate.
With the Heavenly Secrets Formation, things become much easier, and it also allows Lin Qing to advance without revealing his identity.
Otherwise, if some powerful being comes to cause trouble during his tribulation, or tries to capture Lin Qing as a mount, then he's doomed.
As for the Ancestor of the Honggou Valley, Lin Qing was not worried. Unless the three great saints fought a great battle, the Ancestor of the Honggou Valley would not interfere.
Ignoring the price, I excitedly bought both items. Considering their usefulness, the small price was a real bargain.
Lin Qing then spent nearly two hours watching the "movie" from beginning to end.
It even has production staff, directors, voice actors, production companies, and hair styling companies.
"Holy crap, it's actually shown in movie format, but this animated movie is still pretty good."
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. Whether I am a demon or an immortal, only I can decide who I am." Lin Qing pondered these words repeatedly.
These words deeply moved Lin Qing. Yes, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. If fate is unfair, I will fight it to the end.
Lin Qing was stunned as he recalled his ultimate goal: to go home. Home—what a distant thought!
"Chentang Pass, Chentang Pass, we should go to Chentang Pass first. Shen Gongbao hasn't arrived yet, so it shouldn't be too late."
Lin Qing began to move his body, and crackling sounds rang out as the gray stone layer on the surface slowly peeled away.
"Hmm?" Tens of thousands of dragons in the underwater hell all looked towards Lin Qing.
There are real dragons of all colors: silver, white, red, crimson, cyan, and more.
Chapter 327 Chen Tang Pass (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend!)
Clan Chief Ao Guang was the first to look over: "That's where Uncle Ao Qing is. Is he already on his deathbed?"
Ao Qing, also known as Lin Qing, is Ao Guang's uncle and the younger brother of the previous Dragon King.
Thousands of years ago, when the Dragon Clan accompanied the Heavenly Court to suppress the evil beasts of the sea, Ao Guang's father's generation all died, except for the seriously injured Ao Qing.
Thousands of years have passed, and in the underwater hell, Ao Qing's injuries have not only failed to improve, but have become increasingly severe. Ao Guang even thought that Ao Qing was already beyond saving.
Who lives there?
[There are still dragons there? I thought there weren't any.]
Yes, it seems to be an elder, but I haven't seen any movement there for hundreds of years.
Yes, I didn't know either. I originally wanted that place, but my dad told me that an elder lived there.
[Son, that was the most senior dragon in our family, but sadly, he's now past his prime. Alas!]
Tens of thousands of dragons were discussing it, and more than 80% of the dragons did not know of Ao Qing's existence. Only the old dragons who survived the great war thousands of years ago knew about him.
As time went by, the stone layers on Lin Qing's body finally fell off completely, revealing his golden-yellow body.
A powerful aura emanated from them, directly overwhelming the aura of the tens of thousands of true dragons present.
Its entire body was golden, unique among the tens of thousands of dragons, and its majesty was unmatched by any other dragon.
Indeed, these dragons have been trapped in the underwater hell for thousands of years, without leaving for even a moment. They haven't gone mad, aren't bloodthirsty, or cruel, which is already quite good.
Do you really expect them to be able to compare to Lin Qing, who has been invincible and reckless all the way?
Ao Guang slowly poked his head out and said urgently, "Second Uncle, what's wrong?"
I thought Ao Qing was on his deathbed, preparing to appear in the world one last time to see the dragon clan.
Unexpectedly, the moment this second uncle appeared, his powerful aura was even stronger than that of his father, the Old Dragon King.
Lin Qing's majestic voice rang out: "I was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but Heaven did not forsake me and allowed my cultivation to advance further. I have now fully recovered from my injuries."
"I am preparing to leave the underwater purgatory to prepare for the tribulation. As long as I successfully overcome the tribulation, I will be able to evolve once again, and that will be the time for my dragon race to rise."
As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, the entire underwater purgatory erupted in chaos, with voices of doubt, arguments, and laughter filling the air.
"Quiet!" Ao Guang shouted, and instantly, all the dragons in the entire underwater hell fell silent.
"Second Uncle, are you telling the truth? Are you really going to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation?" Ao Guang was still a little skeptical.
To understand how difficult this hurdle is, most dragons today are merely three-clawed true dragons.
There are no more than a hundred four-clawed true dragons, and he, Ao Guang, the leader of the dragon race, is only at the peak of the four-clawed true dragon level.
The strongest dragon in the entire dragon race is still a long way from his next evolution. Now, a dragon that is already seriously injured and on the verge of death is saying that it is going to evolve?
Lin Qing said calmly, "Not bad."
Upon hearing his second uncle's irrefutable answer, Ao Guang's face lit up with ecstatic joy, but his expression quickly darkened as he said:
"Second Uncle, if you sneak out, the Heavenly Court won't find out. But when you undergo your tribulation, that's when you'll be exposed!"
Lin Qing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way. Even the three great sages won't be able to find out."
"However, I can't just leave like this, otherwise my place might be breached by the beasts."
As he spoke, a golden light flashed from Lin Qing's body, and a clone appeared on the spot. The clone Lin Qing slowly wrapped around the stone pillar to suppress the evil beast.
Lin Qing's true form flew out of the underwater purgatory under the watchful eyes of the entire dragon race.
Once outside the underwater hell, the vast ocean stretched out before him. With a snap of his divine sense, a magnificent customs house appeared within Lin Qing's range of consciousness.
"Fortunately, fortunately, it seems it's not too late. Madam Yin is still pregnant." Lin Qing smiled as he looked at Madam Yin.
However, we still need to confirm the time to see whether to advance to the next level or wait for Taiyi to come and deliver the spirit pearl at Chentang Pass.
All the sounds within Chentang Pass reached Lin Qing's ears.
Some chatted about everyday things, some argued over trivial matters, and some haggled with vendors at the market.
Suddenly a voice caught his attention, and Lin Qing immediately focused on it.
【Oh dear, what a disaster! The General's wife has been pregnant for two months, and the baby still hasn't been born.】
Two years?
Lin Qing was relieved. It was three years after Madam Yin became pregnant that Taiyi brought the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Pill to Chen Tang Pass.
