Chapter 536 Humanity Awakens, Yang Jiao Becomes a God
The indomitable will of humanity awakens at this moment.
They have spent their entire lives in submission; now, they are raising torches and beginning to rebel.
Yang Jiao stood on the Fengshen Platform atop Qishan Mountain, gazing into the distance. Below the mountain stretched a vast expanse of light.
They, in their mortal bodies, held torches high, echoing those who strived for the fate of humanity.
"The Investiture of the Gods has been merged into one... The power of wishes can be used to enhance it."
Yang Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the power that had flowed out of her body returned to her with ten times, a hundred times, more abundant force.
The humanitarian tremor beneath their feet was amplified.
Down the mountain, the people's shouts echoed:
"The fate of humanity should be decided by humanity itself!"
"I do not seek immortality! I only seek to establish the survival of the human race!"
Faith spreads like wildfire.
The shackles of Heaven cracked inch by inch at this moment of great unity among humankind, and finally turned into dust and dissipated.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, the Grandmaster Hongjun suddenly flicked his finger away from the Jade Disc of Creation, his expression abruptly changing from his previous composure:
"Humanity has gone against the will of Heaven?"
Those farmers in the fields, merchants in the market, soldiers, elderly women, young children... all those who inherited the bloodline of the mortal race felt a burning passion in their hearts, and an indomitable will was born from the depths of their souls.
Reversing fate!
"Humanity must stand on its own."
Yang Jiao suddenly laughed.
My eyes feel a little hot.
From her feet, withered grass sprouted new shoots, gradually turning the barren land green.
The spiritual energy that should have been detectable only by those who cultivate the Tao gradually permeated the mountains and rivers.
Spring returns to the earth, and plants grow wildly.
Endless vitality began to nourish the human race.
Yang Jiao stared blankly at the completely transformed scene before her.
“Yang Jiao, humanity has arrived! There is humanity in the Three Realms!” Nezha said, pulling her along.
If humanity exists, everyone can become a dragon.
It is no longer nourishment for the beings cultivating in the Three Realms, nor a tool for vying for destiny.
Luck is not a spoil of war that resides within humanity; it is a blessing upon humanity.
"Is this what it means to have humanity in the Three Realms?" Yang Jiao was still somewhat dazed.
"Yes, some people say that person is no different from a god."
“There is no difference between humans and immortals... Humans can be blessed with good fortune and create the impossible.” Yang Jiao murmured, “The Dao of the Three Realms is finally complete.”
Humanity has also developed its own path.
It is no longer a path that is dependent on the Heavenly Dao, used under the guise of protection to plunder destiny; it is a path belonging to the human race.
When people unite, they can even defy the heavens!
The way of Heaven can be reversed!
At this moment, the phantom images of the Three Sovereigns in the Nine Heavens couldn't help but shed tears.
Shennong secretly turned his head to wipe away his tears. He tasted hundreds of herbs not so that future generations would become mere straw dogs.
As long as people don't believe in fate and dare to rebel, humanity will be the strongest.
Fuxi's throat went dry: "Look, something that none of us could do, someone else has done!"
Xuanyuan's bloodshot eyes faded, and he choked out, "Their power is so strong; even my eyes are sore from their light."
As he spoke, he wiped the corner of his eye.
"If you're crying, then you're crying. What are you pretending for?" Fuxi turned his head to look at him.
"Who cried? Do you think I'm Shennong? He's the one who cried," Xuanyuan denied.
"Hmph." Shennong snorted coldly, then turned and disappeared.
Fuxi and Xuanyuan exchanged a glance, then looked back one last time at the magnificent scene of the human world illuminated by the fire of the stars, before returning together to the Fire Cloud Cave.
The Heavenly Dao was reversed by the force of the awakened will of the human race, and at this moment there was no movement whatsoever.
Nezha praised it with delight:
"Yang Jiao, you're amazing! Even the Heavenly Dao can't do anything about you."
Yang Jiao shook her head:
"It is a person's own light that illuminates themselves."
Now that humanity has been awakened, Yang Jiao is full of energy.
He scanned the crowd and spirits on the Investiture of the Gods platform and shouted:
"The Investiture of the Gods ceremony begins."
Jiang Ziya's position was suddenly taken from him. He shrugged and spread his hands, revealing a youthful air despite his aged hair.
"That's why I gave her the Investiture of the Gods when I met her."
"You've figured it out again?" Shen Gongbao sneered. "Old fox."
With nothing to worry about, Jiang Ziya grabbed Shen Gongbao by the shoulder and pulled him down from the Investiture Platform. The force was considerable, but it was nothing to Shen Gongbao's cultivation level, and breaking free was a piece of cake.
Shen Gongbao appeared to be being forcibly taken away.
"What are you doing? You're not going to confer the title of god? You're almost dead, aren't you just waiting for today to be conferred the title of god and become an immortal?"
Jiang Ziya gave up in disgust:
"Why do you still speak so rudely? Can't you express yourself properly? You've been like this for decades, never learning your lesson."
Shen Gongbao, with his neck stiff, replied:
"Are you still going to bestow titles upon gods? If you don't, I'll have to."
"You? You've been swindling people everywhere to get on the list, do you really think Master doesn't know? I told you long ago to work with your senior brother, but you insisted on causing trouble on your own. See, Master is sending you to block the sea eye to atone for your sins, serves you right!" Jiang Ziya mocked.
Shen Gongbao suddenly stopped.
Jiang Ziya replied in confusion, "What? Don't you want to become the Water Dividing General?"
Shen Gongbao looked at Jiang Ziya and asked, "I'm going to the North Sea to block the sea eye. Where are you going?"
Jiang Ziya looked annoyed and tossed his now completely white hair back: "Where else can we go? To the North Sea to guard you? With your small frame, you might not even be able to block the eye of the sea."
"Let's hurry up, or we'll be late."
Jiang Ziya strode down from the Investiture of the Gods platform.
Shen Gongbao watched his retreating figure, then suddenly cursed:
"You damned Jiang Ziya, now you can finally speak nicely!"
"Hey, why are you walking so fast when you're almost dead?"
Shen Gongbao gave chase, only to hear a sound coming from ahead:
"They're in a hurry to plug the sea eye."
……
The Investiture Platform.
Yang Jiao holds the brand-new Investiture of the Gods in her hands, and slowly unfolds it.
Everyone looked up at her.
Yang Jiao raised her hand, her fingertips brushing across the Investiture of the Gods.
Hundreds of people awaited the investiture of gods.
"By the decree of the Supreme Primordial Beginning, all gods are hereby enshrined on the Investiture of the Gods!"
As Yang Jiao's voice fell, a magnificent and majestic gate, shrouded in ethereal mist, suddenly descended from the heavens.
In the very center are three large characters: South Heaven Gate.
Seeing that the gate to the Ascension Realm, which had come to receive the 365 righteous gods, had already descended, Yang Jiao no longer delayed and gave a reminder before beginning the conferment of the gods:
"Humanity has awakened, and the will of the human race is strong. From now on, you gods must protect all directions. If you go against the will of the people, those who are removed from the list of gods will die and their souls will be destroyed."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Jiao began the process of bestowing titles upon the gods:
"The foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, Huang Feihu."
Huang Feihu stepped forward with his son and bowed.
Yang Jiao paused for a moment, then continued:
"Thunder Department, receive your appointment!"
"Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens, commands the twenty-four righteous gods of the Thunder Department."
Wen Zhong bowed deeply.
Behind him, twenty-four more divine souls lit up with points of light, each stepping forward to express their gratitude.
"Fire Department, receive your appointment!"
"Feng Luoxuan, the Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Lord, commands the five righteous gods of the Fire Department."
After Yang Jiao called out names, several more people came out to express their gratitude.
She continued:
"The Plague Department shall be granted its command!"
"Lu Yue is hereby appointed as the Great Emperor Haotian, the Plague God, and given command of the six righteous gods of the Plague Department."
Lü Yue cupped his hands in greeting.
"The Dou Department is hereby granted its appointment!"
“The Goddess of the Dipper Palace, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, and the Great Emperor of the Purple Star of the North Pole of the Central Heaven, Boyi Kao, command the twenty-seven Four Dipper Star Lords of the Dipper Department.”
The spirits of the Holy Mother Jinling and Boyi Kao entered into it.
"Ministry of Water Affairs, please grant this order!"
"Lu Xiong, the Water Virtue Star Lord of the Five Elements of the Big Dipper, shall command the four righteous gods of the Water Department."
Lu Xiong expressed his gratitude.
"The Tai Sui Department, please issue your decree!"
"Yang Ren, the Grand Duke of Jiazi, was appointed to command the eleven Grand Dukes of the year in the Grand Duke Department."
Yang Ren bowed in gratitude.
"The smallpox area is sealed!"
"Feng Bixia Yuanjun Yu Hualong, commander of the five directions of smallpox righteous gods."
Yu Hualong cupped his hands in greeting.
"Xuantan Department, await your appointment!"
After shouting this, Yang Jiao winked at Zhao Gongming, then, remembering the long list of titles bestowed upon the God of Wealth, took a deep breath:
"I hereby decree! Zhao Gongming, the True Lord of the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon Tiger Mysterious Altar, leading four righteous gods of the Mysterious Altar Department to distribute wealth to the human world."
