Chapter 575 The Holder of the List, Haotian! All have their reasons for not wanting it!
Before Dao Ancestor Hongjun could reply, Dijiang Zuwu stepped forward and hurriedly said:
"The Dao Ancestor".
"Our Wu tribe also exists independently outside the primordial world, residing in the Wu realm."
"Our Wu clan should not participate in this great calamity."
"So, no living being will be listed on the Investiture of the Gods, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Dao Ancestor remained unmoved, only smiling meaningfully.
At this moment, Haotian frowned slightly.
Even now, he still doesn't understand.
He came to Zixiao Palace to seek help from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, hoping that Hongjun could help the Heavenly Court recruit subordinates.
However, after Hongjun summoned all the sages of the heavens, he only talked about the Investiture of the Gods calamity.
It seems that this has little to do with helping the Heavenly Court.
After a moment of hesitation, Haotian suddenly realized something.
"Just now, the Dao Ancestor said that all the beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods are subject to the command of the list holder."
"Could it be... that Master intends to hand over the Investiture of the Gods to the Heavenly Court?"
Upon thinking of this, Haotian's heart was filled with excitement, and he hurriedly looked towards the Dao Ancestor:
"Lord Dao Ancestor".
"This disciple wishes to ask, who is in charge of the Investiture of the Gods?"
As Haotian asked this question, all the saints present became curious and looked towards Hongjun.
Hongjun smiled slightly, and without keeping them in suspense, answered directly:
"Haotian".
"You have now attained sainthood, taken charge of the Heavenly Court, and ruled over the Three Realms."
"This Investiture of the Gods list will be entrusted to you."
Haotian was overjoyed as soon as Hongjun uttered these words.
"Thank you very much, Dao Ancestor!"
Upon hearing this, Haotian bowed and thanked him with an excited expression.
Now I finally understand why Hongjun mentioned the Investiture of the Gods and the Investiture of the Gods.
At the same time, the other saints present all had a fleeting look of surprise in their eyes after hearing what Dao Ancestor Hongjun said.
Just now, Hongjun did not specify who would be in charge of the Investiture of the Gods, so none of them wanted their disciples to be included in the Investiture of the Gods.
Now, the Investiture of the Gods must be handed over to Haotian.
Deep down, the great sages naturally felt even more resistance.
"I wondered what was going on. It turns out that Haotian came to the Dao Ancestor to complain."
Di Jun muttered to himself, glancing sideways at Haotian.
He originally thought that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had summoned all the saints here simply for the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.
But now it seems that things are not like that.
After all, before this, Haotian had traveled all over the place, visiting various sage sects, all in order to recruit manpower for the Heavenly Court.
Unfortunately, all the major religious sects and ethnic groups rejected Haotian.
Currently, the Dao Ancestor has entrusted the Investiture of the Gods to Haotian, and those beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods must obey the orders of the wielder.
Isn't this a disguised way of recruiting manpower for the Heavenly Court?
"The Dao Ancestor still seems to favor this pageboy!"
"Even the Investiture of the Gods list was entrusted to him!"
Emperor Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, muttered to himself, feeling that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was somewhat biased towards Haotian.
Meanwhile, the other sages also had their own plans.
They were naturally unwilling to let the Heavenly Court snatch away the people they had painstakingly nurtured.
After a brief silence, Di Jun glanced at Hongjun again and said:
"The Dao Ancestor".
"Our demon race resides in the demon realm, not in the primordial world."
"There's no need to be on that Investiture of the Gods list, is there?"
Upon hearing Di Jun mention this matter again, Di Jiang, the Ancestral Witch, immediately bowed to Hongjun and said:
"Dao Ancestor, the Witch Clan seconds this!"
Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at him slightly, but still did not reply.
"snort!"
Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but let out a cold snort, glancing sharply at Di Jun and Di Jiang, and said:
"Di Jun, Di Jiang!"
"What do you mean by that? You mean if you're not in the Primordial World, you don't need to go? Then everyone in the Primordial World should go?"
Di Jun's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said:
"Master Tongtian, I am merely stating the facts."
"Our demon race is indeed not in the prehistoric world; the Heavenly Tribulation should only target the beings of the prehistoric world."
"Furthermore, the demon race already suffered enormous losses during the previous great calamity. Shouldn't they be exempt from this calamity?"
Upon hearing what Di Jun said, the Tongtian Sect Leader's anger flared up instantly, and he couldn't help but shout out curses:
"fart!"
"What kind of twisted and heretical logic is this?"
"During the previous great battle with the Xuanhuang Realm, your demon race was the most eager to seize the credit!"
"Afterwards, didn't the Primordial Heavenly Dao allocate any merit to your demon race?"
"When there are benefits, the demon race will step in; now that there's a calamity, they want to hide?"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
Upon hearing Tongtian Jiaozhu's words, Dijun's expression immediately turned ugly.
In his view, he hadn't said anything, so why had he angered the Tongtian Sect Leader so much?
Before Di Jun could recover, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly and spoke coldly:
"Di Jun and Di Jiang, now that you have attained sainthood and enjoy the holy positions of the Heavenly Dao, you are connected with the destiny of the primordial world."
"Although the demon race and the witch race live in the demon realm and the witch realm respectively, they still have countless connections with the primordial world."
"The Investiture of the Gods is a predetermined fate of Heaven; how can you expect to avoid it just by saying so?"
The Supreme Sage did not speak, but nodded slightly.
His appearance clearly indicated that he supported what the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Lord had said.
After all, the three religions are now closely connected, and the Three Pure Ones are naturally on the same side.
"Clang!"
Seeing the Three Pure Ones targeting him in this way, Emperor Jun's anger flared up, but he dared not retaliate.
Although he is also a saint, he cannot afford to offend the Three Pure Ones.
After being angry for a while, Di Jun gave a cold snort and said nothing more.
Upon seeing this, the ancestral witch Dijiang pursed his lips, as if he had something to say.
But after thinking about it again, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
The sage Nuwa saw this, but remained calm and did not interrupt.
For her, she didn't have many disciples, so whether or not they were on the Investiture of the Gods list didn't matter much.
There's no need to argue heatedly with other sages in such a setting.
Just then, Niu Ba stepped forward, first glancing at Di Jun and Di Jiang, then looking at Hong Jun and saying:
"The Dao Ancestor".
"If what the Demon Emperor and the Ancestral Witch Dijiang said is true..."
"My Niu clan has always been law-abiding, only active in the area of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and has not interfered in any major events of the primordial era."
"Does this mean they no longer need to be included in the Investiture of the Gods?"
Upon hearing his father's words, Niu Ben couldn't help but smile faintly.
He didn't interrupt at this moment, and he appeared completely calm.
Just then, Di Jun's face darkened, and he unexpectedly glared at Niu Ba, saying:
"What's wrong?"
"Your Bull Clan boasts two Saints, making you stronger than any other sect or race. Do you still intend to remain uninvolved?"
Niu Ba gave a cold laugh, glanced back at Di Jun, and said:
"Di Jun".
"Isn't this what you said, according to your standards?"
