Investiture of the Gods: What Does It Mean to Grow Stronger When Fate Calls?

The moment he transmigrated into Deng Hua, Deng An knew he was finished. In the original story, Deng Hua was a second-generation registered disciple of the Chan Sect, sent by the Primordial Heavenly Lord to aid Xiqi. He had barely managed to get his lines out on the battlefield before Qin Tianjun struck him with the Heaven-Absolute Banner and blew his brains out. From his entrance to his exit, he got no more than fifty words in the entire story. He was one of the most ignominious nobodies to die in Investiture of the Gods. Fortunately, all was not lost! The Calamity-Facing Dao Book had arrived! For every tribulation he survived, he could exchange it for cultivation, spells, treasures, anything he wanted. And so the Red Sand Formation, the Soul-Snatching Formation, the Golden Light Formation... one after another, the Ten Absolute Arrays fell. At first, Jiang Ziya saw him as nothing more than “that registered disciple sent by Uncle Primordial.” But later... Wen Zhong set up the Plague Formation, leaving Xiqi’s generals utterly helpless. The tent fell silent. Then someone softly suggested, “Should we... ask Immortal Master Deng Hua to come?” Can’t break the Yellow River Formation? Hurry and ask Immortal Master Deng Hua! Can’t bring down the Myriad Immortals Formation? Hurry and ask Immortal Master Deng Hua! Even when Kong Xuan, a quasi-sage, blocked their way, the first thing that came to mind was still: ask Immortal Master Deng Hua! “When I first came down the mountain, you called me Immortal Master. I didn’t take offense.” Five dazzling rays of light shone behind Deng Hua. His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Great Luo realm. “Now, what should you call me?” The generals of Xiqi cried out, “We welcome the Boundless Mystic Strategist, Heaven-Answering Dao Venerable!”
