At the Divine Contest Arena, the fortunes of Huaxia have fallen to rock bottom. Its divine pantheon is gone, and its immortal registers and divine genealogies have vanished completely!
Only the spirits of Huaxia's ancestors endure. In mortal bodies, they stand against the Western gods and protect the descendants of Yan and Huang... But how can mere mortals slay gods?
Even as the people of Huaxia grieve until their hearts break, weeping blood and tears as they curse the heavens, there is nothing they can do!
Human strength has its limits, while the gods can endlessly draw upon humanity's thoughts and faith. Their power is inexhaustible... How could Huaxia avoid defeat if things continued this way?
In utter despair, Xu Shou, a summoner from the Great Yu Academy of the Dragon Kingdom, awakens a damaged half-scroll of the Investiture of the Gods.
With the Investiture of the Gods in hand, Xu Shou discovers that he can actually appoint gods!
“With my flesh and blood, I offer a sacrifice to the Investiture Altar and appoint:
Yue Wumu, the Sagely Emperor Lord Yue, Heavenly Worthy of the Three Realms who Subdues Demons with Loyalty, Filial Piety, and Wondrous Arts!”
“With one bow, the Gate of Heaven opens. With a second, the Earth Gate splits apart. With a third, I invite the Sagely Emperor Lord Yue to the Divine Contest Arena!”
As the strange, heavy fog parts, imperial charts, divine genealogies, immortal registers, and more will gradually reappear before the descendants of the Huaxia Dragon Clan, protecting the people, securing the nation's fortunes, and proclaiming the might of Huaxia!
“Fellow cultivator, please wait! I am Xu Shou, and your great opportunity has arrived. Come and join the Huaxia Investiture of the Gods!”
Izanagi and Izanami of Japan, Zeus of Greece, Odin of the Norse, Brahma, Shiva, and the rest: ???
“I, Xu Shou, answer Heaven's mandate and sever the connection between Heaven and Earth. I establish the heart for Heaven and Earth, the destiny for the people, continue the lost teachings of the sages, and bring peace to all generations!”
“Investiture of the Gods, begin!”
