Chapter 1, The Successor of Jiang Ziya
Regardless of their goodness or evilness, they will not easily establish a contract; once a promise is made, it must be fulfilled, and they have never considered engaging in any tricks within the contract
Demigods are such a magical being, their secrets can only be hidden in the human world, yet they are quickly spread in their own realm
Upon receiving them, Chen Zhi realized that this vast land of Huaxia had actually nurtured so many wondrous beings, who were immensely powerful and varied in form
The Wu Jia, dressed in ceremonial attire, entered various regions of Huaxia from underground, conveying the rules of the Jiang clan to the divine offspring in each area, selecting the finest demigods to meet Chen Zhi
The news of the emergence of an heir to Jiang Ziya spread quickly to every corner of the world
Especially for Xuan Niao, Chen Zhi represents the highest point in this world
Perhaps just like the last words that Zhu Lin said to him, he wanted to become strong, and he would draw ever closer to the divine
What are your thoughts on the events three years from now
In three years, I will have a showdown with her!" This was Chen Zhi's response to Bao Ping at that time
Chen Zhi remembered that he once had a strong sense of morality, viewing matters in black and white. He would feel flustered when women became close to him and held a certain belief in human ethical norms.
Many demigods have already integrated into human society, expressing their willingness to belong and pledging oaths. However, some demigods cannot accept this harsh condition and, being aware of the three-year agreement of Fengdu's underworld, refuse to sign the contract and quietly retreat into seclusion, remaining in a state of observation
Everything is unprecedentedly calm, the dark forces have been completely destroyed, and this is the first peace enjoyed in thousands of years
However, at this moment, Chen Zhi no longer cares about these things. He leans against Xuan Niao's body without any pressure, inhaling her unique youthful fragrance, feeling her hair softly brush against his cheek, yet he feels no guilt regarding this relationship
I will select outstanding demigods among them to be conferred as deities, thereby increasing my chances of victory
The dark bird is his slave, and there is no doubt about this
However, under the leadership of Chen Zhi, there is indeed an opportunity for deification. Even if it means going through fire and water, serving as a slave or a servant, and ultimately sacrificing one's life, there is no hesitation!
Chen Zhi felt that his thinking had clearly changed, and his aura exuded an indescribable strength
However, this does not mean that he will forget the events of three years later, nor will he forget the angry deity locked behind the great door
Then, Chen Zhi granted the totem and divine seal, incorporating them under his banner
Everything that occurred in the Fengdu Underworld soon spread quietly throughout the demigod realm, causing countless stirrings in the darkness and secrecy
Once realized, it signifies that this bloodline will henceforth rise to glory, with divine blood being passed down through generations, its noble status towering above countless beings. This is a transformative change of monumental proportions, how could it not attract eager followers
During this period, many demigods came upon hearing the news, kneeling before Chen Zhi and voluntarily offering themselves as servants.
Alright, I will await your message
During this large-scale annexation operation, Chen Zhi discovered one thing: that the demigods place great importance on commitments
The promise made by the divine offspring must never be violated
Of course, they also understand that the opportunity for deification is extremely slim, depending on their own potential and merits
But no one weeps in vain anymore, they simply keep them forever in their hearts
The Jurchen lineage, son of the goddess Fokuren, Puljijitai Xuanlin, has been conferred the title of the God of All Things of Changbai Mountain
May the business prosper and endure forever
Chen Zhi conferred the title of the Wu Jia priest upon him, allowing him to hold the banner of the Jiang clan and convey Chen Zhi's will
No one experiences great joy or sorrow, nor does anyone speak of those who perished in the last battle, even though those individuals once vividly existed in their lives, creating indelible miracles
During this period, Chen Zhi also accomplished a significant task, which was something he had not completed at that time, namely, the consecration of his first deity.
Just like the Investiture of the Gods personally performed by Jiang Ziya 5,000 years ago
If it does not work, then let's resolve it my way
Upon hearing Chen Zhi's response, Bao Ping's deep gray eyes flickered momentarily, and he gazed at Chen Zhi for a long time with a somber expression, before giving a slight nod.
Yet beneath this peace lies a tremendous crisis, and everyone knows what they will face in three years. They all understand that when the blue fury descends, there will be no place in this world that is spared.
Passed down through generations
By that time, his humanity will diminish increasingly, and his thoughts and feelings will differ from those of the past
This is indeed a great temptation for all demigods
He has been thinking and planning, but the emotions of fear and anxiety have gradually faded from his mind
She is a deity, her power second only to the three ancient gods, and her identity determines her abilities
In the rumors, Chen Zhi not only wields the God-Slaying Whip but also possesses the ability to confer divine ordination, making him the true recognized successor of Jiang Ziya
However, Chen Zhi himself underwent significant changes, which probably began when he acquired the art of becoming a deity
Most of these demigods are descendants of the new gods, while some are descendants of the ancient old gods. They possess noble identities and a diverse range of abilities
I will recruit a large number of demigods and organize a divine army to confront him
Chen Zhi enjoys this feeling of being worshipped, like the demigods who are attached to the Xuan Bird, who regard him as more important than their own lives, and ask for nothing in return
Everyone is preparing, and everything is quietly progressing in secrecy
A demigod, as long as they possess the potential for greatness and achieve merit under the leadership of the Jiang clan, may be conferred the title of a true deity.
On the day of the canonization, the scene was extraordinarily magnificent, leaving all who witnessed it with an unforgettable memory for a lifetime
She hates us, and when she comes out again, she will surely take revenge in a frenzied manner
A few months have passed quickly since the issuance of Bao Ping's prohibition on mourning, and a different sentiment has emerged in Xiqi.
This was the question that Bao Ping later asked Chen Zhi during a private meeting.
He is very confident, no longer anxious about anything, no longer saddened by sacrifice, he knows that his heart has grown cold
Since the great door deep within Changbai Mountain was closed, nothing has happened since then
Being conferred the title of a true deity is the dream of all divine descendants, and even the long-held aspiration of several generations.
In their hearts, Chen Zhi could not be refused any request he made; in their hearts, Chen Zhi was the entire world, and apart from loyalty, he desired nothing else
After joining the Jiang clan, there is a rule that one must not consume human flesh, and in connection with Chen Zhi, a blood bond is established, signing the covenant of divine blood
As for the consequences of violating the divine covenant, no one knows for certain; it is only known that this rule has been acknowledged since the time of our ancestors.
