Chapter 578 The Great Tribulation is About to Begin, Who Will Prevail?
At this moment, Yaochi is waiting inside the Lingxiao Palace.
Seeing Haotian return, Yaochi was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Seeing Haotian's appearance, she felt a sense of relief at first, and then asked:
"Senior brother, how was the trip?"
"Has the Dao Ancestor given any instructions?"
Upon hearing Yaochi's question, Haotian couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
He laughed for a moment, then stopped talking and replied:
"Junior sister, you're so smart. You let me go find the Dao Ancestor."
Upon hearing this, Yaochi smiled slightly, her face filled with excitement, and said:
"So it is said that..."
"Did the Dao Ancestor help my senior brother resolve his troubles?"
Haotian nodded and didn't hide anything. He then briefly explained the Investiture of the Gods and the Investiture of the Gods list to Yaochi.
Upon learning that a new great calamity was about to erupt, Yaochi was naturally shocked.
But Yaochi was also very happy to learn that Haotian had taken control of the Investiture of the Gods.
"Very good."
"This upcoming calamity of the conferment of gods is of great benefit to the Heavenly Court."
"Senior brother, you are in charge of the Investiture of the Gods here, and there should be disciples of all the great sages on the list."
"At that time, those beings who are on the list will obey my senior brother's orders."
Haotian neither confirmed nor denied what Yaochi said, but smiled smugly and nodded:
"yes!"
"Now, we just wait for the great calamity to officially begin!"
……
At the same time, a figure descended upon Penglai Immortal Island.
The person who arrived was none other than Niu Ben.
Soon, Niu Ben arrived at the main island of Penglai Immortal Island.
The three sages were sitting and discussing when Niu Ben arrived, and a strange expression flashed across their faces.
"Greetings, Master and two Senior Uncles!"
Niu Ben stepped forward and bowed to the Three Pure Ones.
The Supreme Sage smiled slightly and nodded, saying:
"My disciple, what brings you here?"
Before Niu Ben could reply, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly interjected:
"You little rascal, you're not thinking of joining forces with our three sects, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben smiled faintly and said:
"Uncle-Master, you are mistaken."
"I am the senior disciple of the three religions."
"By saying that, Uncle-Master, you're essentially excluding me from the Three Teachings!"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, the Tongtian Sect Leader was taken aback, then smiled somewhat awkwardly and said:
"You idiot, I... I can't argue with you!"
At this moment, the Supreme Sage turned his gaze and looked directly at Niu Ben, asking:
"Disciple, it was you who proposed that all living beings enter the calamity and that the dead be listed on the Investiture of the Gods."
"So, you must have your own ideas about this, right?"
As the Supreme Sage asked this question, both the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master looked at Niu Ben with curiosity in their eyes.
Niu Ben remained calm and was about to speak.
Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind:
【Ding! 】
[The critical event "The Great Tribulation of Godhood" has been detected. The host faces a major decision, triggering a god-level choice mission!]
[Option 1: Fully support the Three Religions to ensure their complete victory in the Investiture of the Gods calamity and minimize the number of their disciples who end up on the list.]
[Quest Reward: 1 Cultivation Pill (significantly boosts cultivation, aiding the host in advancing towards the Heavenly Dao Realm).]
Option Two: Remain neutral, allowing the three religions to develop their own systems without actively interfering in the process of bestowing deities.
[Quest Reward: 1 Innate Spiritual Treasure (Random, Powerful)]
"Um?"
Upon hearing the system's notification, Niu Ben was secretly surprised, but the turmoil in his heart quickly subsided.
"System, choose one!"
Without much thought, Niu Ben made his choice.
For him now, innate spiritual treasures are nothing special.
The cultivation pill can help him advance towards the Heavenly Dao level.
In addition, Niu Ben himself is the senior disciple of the three religions.
Now that the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin, he, as the eldest brother, should naturally consider the interests of the three religions.
Both morally and logically, he could not stand idly by and watch a large number of disciples from the three religions be listed on the list.
Seeing Niu Ben's absent-minded expression, the Supreme Sage frowned slightly and called out in doubt:
"My disciple?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben quickly snapped out of his daze and immediately said:
"Rest assured, Master."
"Although the Investiture of the Gods is a perilous calamity, I have my own strategies to deal with it."
"As many disciples of the three religions as you can protect, I will protect as many as you can."
Upon hearing Niu Ben's reply, the Supreme Sage nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's expression softened slightly, and he said calmly:
"Nephew Niu Ben, now that you say so, we are relieved."
At the same time, the Tongtian Sect Leader also spoke:
"yes!"
"With you saying that, we can rest easy."
Niu Ben did not linger on Penglai Island. After bidding farewell to the Three Pure Ones, he headed towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.
……
At this moment, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, within that independent, naturally blessed land.
After returning from Zixiao Palace, Niu Ba immediately summoned all the high-ranking members of the Niu Clan.
"Chieftain, what has happened?"
An elder of the bull clan cautiously inquired.
"Whoosh!"
Niu Ba took a deep breath and, without delay, recounted the events surrounding the investiture of gods in the Zixiao Palace.
After hearing what Niu Ba said, all the high-ranking members of the Niu clan were shocked.
"What?"
"The Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods?"
"All living beings are afflicted by calamity, and the dead are listed?"
"This...this is too ruthless!"
"Chieftain, although our Bull Clan has two Saints, other forces are not weak either!"
"Especially the Western religion, the demon race, the witch race..."
"These forces all have deep-rooted foundations; what do we have to compete with them?"
"..."
Immediately, many high-ranking members of the Niu clan were discussing the matter with great anxiety.
Although the current Bull Clan is no less powerful than other major sects and clans in terms of top-tier combat strength.
After all, there was Niu Ben, the foremost sage, in charge.
However, under the two sages, Niu Ben and Niu Ba, the Niu clan's foundation was not as strong as that of other forces.
Upon hearing what the high-ranking members of the Bull Clan had said, Bull Overlord immediately frowned.
Although he is a saint, he is not good at strategy and planning.
Faced with this catastrophe that was about to sweep across the three realms, Niu Ba was at a loss for what to do.
Just then, a figure flashed over.
The person who arrived was none other than Niu Ben!
Upon seeing Niu Ben arrive, Niu Ba was startled, but then his face lit up with wild joy.
Meanwhile, the high-ranking members of the Bull Clan inside the hall were greatly encouraged and immediately bowed in unison to Niu Ben:
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Niu Ben waved his hand lightly, helping the group of high-ranking members of the Niu clan to their feet.
At this moment, Niu Ba burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!"
"That's great, son, you're back."
"Your father is really worried about this!"
"Tell me quickly, what should our Bull Clan do when the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods arrives?"
