Reborn as King Zhou

In the original novel *Investiture of the Gods*, it can be argued that the Jade Emperor and the Three Sovereigns held a higher status than any other deity. Even the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun had to pay homage to the Jade Emperor and the Three Sovereigns. The matter of the Investiture of the Gods was decided solely by the Jade Emperor; Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones were merely executors or project managers.

If you kill Ma Yuan for defecting to the West, who will dare to help you in the future? He was, after all, a member of the Jie Sect who risked his life for you. It would be better to arrange for Tongtian to kill him.

Of the Three Sovereigns, the Yellow Emperor, Ji Xuanyuan, was the most self-serving! He always wanted his son to inherit his throne, but unfortunately, his son was incompetent and was overthrown! Ji Fa was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor sent General Bai Yi to help Ji Fa overthrow the monarch.

Many people below are discussing the world-building of this book. I believe that a thousand people reading *Investiture of the Gods* will have a thousand different prehistoric worlds. Every author has the freedom to create their own prehistoric worldview; after all, it's mythology, and mythology is written by others… 🤫

The poems about battles and landscapes are quite good and evocative. Don't pander to the reader; find an audience that suits you. That's better for everyone.

There are two types of readers who are most annoying when reading this kind of novel. One type is what the author calls "historians." If you talk to them about fantasy and gods, they talk about technological development; if you talk to them about the will of heaven and destiny, they talk about the course of history.

We need a few minor character names. We've already mentioned the extraterrestrial demons, so these are mainly names of demons.

In the Investiture of the Gods, the Three Pure Ones would have to kneel before Nuwa! They seem to be a generation below Nuwa.

Did the Shang Dynasty have crown princes? And were the Shang Dynasty rulers called "Son of Heaven"? This feels like watching a Qing Dynasty drama. I can't do that! 😰😰

This is a clever move; they directly seized the divine position. But there's a question: if they directly seized it, why would Jiang Ziya later ascend the stage to bestow divine titles? What if Jiang Ziya later changed the divine position? If not, what's the point? Forget about Jiang Ziya; he's nobody's business. So I think at most this person is just a celestial soldier.
