Investiture of the Gods in the Age of Declining Dharma: My Ancestor Is Jiang Ziya

My name is Jiang Xuan. I’m an orphan, or at least that’s what I’ve always believed.

Then one day, as usual, I went to a Taoist temple to mooch a meal. After I happened to bow before a statue of a god, I met an old man who said he was Jiang Ziya, and that he was my ancestor.

I never imagined the jade pendant I’d worn since childhood could contain the Investiture of the Gods. But why did the gods disappear, and where did the apocalypse on earth come from? There’s more to it than meets the eye.

The spirit pearl nurtured by the Ghost Mother turns out to be Nezha reborn, with two personalities: one tied to the spirit pearl, the other to the demon pearl.

Why did the reincarnation of the blind Yang Jian destroy his own eyes before being reincarnated?

The reincarnation of Lei Zhenzi: “Get over here! I’m used to people calling me ugly, but you’re the first to insult me in such a clear-headed and original way!”

The Investiture of the Gods is revealed, and the 365 righteous gods will eventually return to their places.

But by then, the human world has changed beyond recognition. After all, once people discover that even gods bleed, they no longer fear them.

In Bagua City, the imprisoned Jiang Ziya finally sees the light of day.

Jiang Ziya: “The Investiture of the Gods was a conspiracy. We were all deceived!”

Jiang Xuan: “Don’t be afraid, Ancestor. We’ve got two of Heaven’s three biggest rebels on our side. Wait, no, the third one’s here too!”
