Honghuang: I Am the Investiture of the Gods, Creating Gods for Humanity from the Start

I transmigrated into the Investiture of the Gods.

The good news: I am one of the three heavenly books, and all the immortals and gods of the Three Realms are under my control.

The bad news: Hongjun and the Six Sages are already seated in the Zixiao Palace, ready to write names on me.

Once the 365 righteous gods take their places, the nascent consciousness that has just awakened within me will be completely erased by the Heavenly Dao. I will be condemned for all eternity to serve as a tool for the Heavenly Court, rounding up unwilling recruits.

So when Hongjun asked which disciples of the three teachings should be put on the list, Shen Xuan burned the decree on the spot, seized all 365 divine offices of the Zhou Tian, smashed through the Zixiao Palace, and plunged into the mortal world.

The Heavenly Court needs gods, so why should the human race be used to fill its ranks?

From this day on, these 365 divine offices will no longer appoint Heavenly Court gods. Instead, they will become 365 seeds of civilization.

Soldiers defend their homeland, and the seed of the art of war takes root, forging an indomitable military spirit in an army of a hundred thousand mortals.

Blacksmiths swing their hammers, and the seed of the art of forging takes root, allowing ordinary iron from Chaoge to slay Golden Immortals.

Farmers sow their crops, and the seed of agriculture takes root, allowing a single acre of spirit farmland to feed a million soldiers.

Healers practice medicine, and the seed of medicine takes root, freeing the human race from fear of demonic poisons and plagues.

Craftsmen build cities, and when a million people work as one, mortal cities become sacred bastions of civilization capable of suppressing immortals and gods.

Yuanshi leads the Twelve Golden Immortals to attack.

The Two Sages of the West seek to ferry the entire human race to salvation.

Haotian leads the Zhou Tian Star Gods to seize the list.

Shen Xuan unfurls the Investiture of the Gods once more.

But this time, those standing upon it are no longer righteous gods of the Heavenly Court, at the mercy of others.

Sage of War, Sage of Medicine, Sage of Agriculture, Sage of Crafting, Sage of Letters, Sage of Engineering…

Among the 360 trades of the mortal world, every one has its own sages and worthies!

Di Xin points his sword at the heavens.

“Who says mortals can only end up on the list?”

Standing before three thousand sages of the human way, Shen Xuan slowly rolls up the Divine Scroll of the Human Way.

“The Heavenly Court wants gods?”

“Today, let every immortal and Buddha in the heavens see the gods of the human world!”
