Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 1430 - 506: The Mystery of Deification, Contest for Supremacy in the Heavenly Court (Part 2)
"My respects to World Venerable, it is indeed an anomaly caused by the Heavenly Emperor His Majesty!"
Jing Qiu’s eyes flickered and he said, "Causing such a commotion, has something happened recently in the Heavenly Court?"
"His Majesty is benevolent, repeatedly tolerating the probing of various forces in the Sea of Realms."
"Who would have thought the forces across the Sea of Realms would become increasingly presumptuous, probing instead of retreating. Not long ago, they almost infiltrated the significant area of the Heavenly Court, prompting His Majesty to decide on a slight reprisal to demonstrate power to all, giving them a lesson."
Jing Qiu glanced at him, "You follow by my side, yet can contact the Heavenly Court anytime, and learn about the situation there?"
The coachman replied respectfully, "In response to World Venerable, this is the efficacy of the Investiture of the Gods; we subordinate gods can not only communicate across realms at any time but also establish anchor points using the Investiture as a base, paving the way with starlight to quickly reach any colleague’s side."
Jing Qiu slightly nodded, waves stirring in his heart.
The Sea of Realms is vast beyond measure, even True Saints traveling longer distances without a specific portal in the void would require centuries or millennia, not to mention the circulation of information.
The lack of a unifying force within the Sea of Realms, in Jing Qiu’s knowledge, largely owes to this reason.
Even the myriad Transcendence Gates largely focus on their core realms, radiating outwards to establish influence, mainly through conquest, with few instances of long-term occupation.
Yet centuries ago, the Heavenly Court had solved the problem of information circulation, no wonder it can govern the entire Sea of Realms.
Eighty-four thousand Gods communicate swiftly through the Investiture of the Gods, with information reaching the central hub, where the Heavenly Court deploys troops instantly, what rebellion cannot be quelled promptly?
The starlit skies captivate one’s gaze, and the coachman operating the Nine Dragon Imperial Carriage exclaimed excitedly:
"The Heavenly Emperor His Majesty is about to reclaim the Dao Fruit of old, and the Heavenly Court’s return to its peak, ruling over the realms, is near!"
Jing Qiu observed this man’s demeanor, and doubts gradually emerged in his heart.
Judging by this man’s conduct all along, he does not resemble a True Saint, but rather an ordinary coachman in the human world, cautious and meek.
Such a person, theoretically, lacks the qualification to attain True Saint status.
While the number of True Saints seems "vast" from Jing Qiu’s current perspective, this arises based on the Boundless World.
Behind every True Saint, countless sentient beings vie for superiority, only by surpassing all with outstanding qi can one have the mere possibility of certifying the True Saint Domain to become an immortal stalwart.
Every True Saint emerges from endless tribulations and bloody fire, owning distinct characteristics unique to themselves.
But this man before me... has the Investiture of the Gods erased most of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, or is there more to the name?
Seeing this person seemingly answer any question, Jing Qiu suddenly spoke, his voice calm yet piercing into the core:
"Before joining the Heavenly Court, where did you reside, in which realm?"
The coachman visibly started, as if the sudden inquiry triggered long-buried memories, then respectfully replied:
"In response to World Venerable, this little god used to be a coachman in the human world, due to merits in supporting Dou Department God’s reincarnation, accumulated minor achievements, I received heavenly grace and was exceptionally elevated to the Heavenly Court, listed among the eighty-four thousand Assistant Gods, exclusively to drive for the Gods."
"However, as the Gods have yet to return, I temporarily hold the vacant position of Star Monarch, assisting the Heavenly Court in guarding the Investiture of the Gods."
Seated within the carriage, Jing Qiu’s heart surged like a turbulent tide.
Really just a coachman from the human world?!
Simply due to meritorious support to a Heavenly Court God, elevated exceptionally to the Heavenly Court, now merely enjoying the Star Monarch position of the Investiture has already attained True Saint status?
In this world, there truly exists such a "dream" of stepping into Heaven!"
Divine Dao, Divine Dao...
Even with the Divine Dao’s capacity to authorize and confer, arbitrarily appointing a mere coachman as True Saint rank, what extent of robust and uncanny power does the Divine Dao of the Heavenly Court possess?
This is no longer authorization, but creation!
Creating a True Saint out of thin air! Even if his temperament or realm falls far short of reality, the overwhelming Divine Power is unmistakably genuine.
Moreover, judging by his recent actions, he is not considered weak within the True Saint Domain.
And such Divine Positions, the Heavenly Court possesses a total of three hundred sixty-five of them...
As Jing Qiu’s thoughts were surging—
BOOM!!!
A terrifying sound indescribable by words suddenly erupted from the depths of the boundless void ahead!
Not a sound, but a reconstruction of fundamental rules and Dao, causing conflict among portions of the Dao, crushing one another!
Jing Qiu gazed towards the distance, the resonating endless Group Stars rewriting the fundamental rules of this starry sky, this realm, and even the Endless Boundary Sea.
His heart felt heavy, unsure if this was the individual power of Doumu Yuanjun or aided by the Heavenly Court and Investiture of the Gods.
If solely individual...
That is the indisputable Great Dao Ancestor!
Within the Sea of Realms, the definition of Great Dao Ancestor remains blurry yet clear; even the Ancestor Masters know not how to tread into this domain, but agreed is one rule—
A path transmitting through realms, with one’s Dao impacting the Heaven and Earth Dao of the Boundless Realms within the Sea of Realms, regardless of realm, can be named Great Dao Ancestor.
At this moment.
Within the Endless Boundary Sea, within the worlds numbering millions of heavens, countless sentient beings instinctively lift their heads, clearly seeing in the celestial torrents of starry brilliance a figure... the shadow of a God!
That Divine Spirit stands infinitely high above Heaven and Earth, with stars as its eyes, overlooking the mortal world.
Even though separated by endless time-space, all beings and spirits need only lift their heads to clearly see its visage and form.
Its form, divine appearance exalted, like a celestial forest jewel tree, naturally above the earthly dust.
