The Outcast: Rising from the Coffin with the Investiture of the Gods

I don't understand why the protagonist would create trouble for himself and insist on getting involved in the plot. No matter how capable he is, wouldn't he just become someone else's tool if he joined the company?

... I thought they were using the Investiture of the Gods to bestow titles upon the gods...

I don't understand at all. I don't understand the protagonist's motivation for participating in the plot (he just joined the company and followed Zhang Chulan around). Moreover, the protagonist is an unknown person. How could Xu San and Xu Si let such an outsider get involved in Feng Baobao's affairs?

I was misled by the title. I thought it was about using the Investiture of the Gods to confer titles and establish a new Heavenly Court. I was even wondering if the protagonist would wear a helmet while fishing. 🙂

The Investiture of the Gods must be accompanied by the God-Slaying Whip, otherwise what if the gods don't listen to you?

It's already past twenty-odd chapters, but I still don't have a clear image of the protagonist in my mind. Not even a hint of their personality or character. If you want to be involved in everything, you can take a cue from Wang Zhenqiu. To be someone who enjoys themselves, you at least need to feel some enjoyment in everything; that gives you a reason to participate.

The Investiture of the Gods = A Powerful Soul-Capturing Sail

The synopsis makes me wonder what's so great about being able to summon so many gods. Who can write a novel where the direct lineage of the Daoist patriarch is established, the Daoist school flourishes, and everyone vies for the Eight Extraordinary Skills?
