Chapter 1055: 762 Emperor’s Divinity Enshinement Technique_2

And this divine ability is called the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique!

Indeed, this divine ability was deduced by the two based on the innate divine prohibitions listed on the Investiture of the Gods. This divine ability has no offensive power, but it can confer titles upon thousands of gods, granting them the ability to communicate with and penetrate through heaven and earth.

The main purpose of the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique is to condense divine talismans by consuming the national fate, which can then be used to confer titles upon a plethora of gods.

The operational rules of this divine ability, like the Investiture of the Gods, are the same. However, the gods listed on the Investiture of the Gods are well-known deities, whereas the gods conferred titles by the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique are the official deities worshipped by the state whose life, death, honor, and disgrace are all tied to the national fate, interconnected with each other.

The Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique can completely replace the role of the Investiture of the Gods. King Wen and the Ancestor of Soldiers created this divine ability with this intent in mind.

At the critical moment of investiture, Jiang Ziya would take action and exert the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique to the fullest, using the human race’s fate snatched away by the Heavenly Dao to confer titles upon the gods. In this way, the gods who should have belonged to Heaven Court became the gods of the human race. Naturally, their loyalty would then belong to the human race, not the Heaven Court.

If King Wen and the Ancestor of Soldiers’ plan had succeeded, the strength of the human race would not only have been undamaged, but would have been significantly enhanced as a result.

It’s a pity, though, that in the end, the plan of the Ancestor of Soldiers and King Wen undoubtedly failed. They did not triumph over the Heavenly Dao. The gods who were conferred titles still fell under the influence of the Heavenly Gods, and the human race’s fate was ultimately plundered.

...

......

"We failed!"

"Though King Wen and the Ancestor of Soldiers were greatly talented and their plan was very perfect, they were not saints after all, and their power was limited. Therefore, no matter how perfect the plan, without sufficient power, it could not be perfectly executed."

"Therefore, they failed!"

Withdrawing his gaze from the wall, Jiang Chen felt a surge of emotions. The Ancestor of Soldiers and King Wen were indeed greatly talented, but ultimately "Man proposes, but heaven disposes." At the final hurdle, they fell short by a sliver, leading their plan to fall short of completion, unable to achieve its full effect.

The death of the Ancestor of Soldiers, Jiang Ziya, was also related to this matter.

At the time of conferring titles upon the gods at the Enshrinement Platform, the Ancestor of Soldiers, Jiang Ziya, pushed the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique to its limit, attempting to refine the fate of the human race within it, and turn passivity into initiative.

However, his strength was too weak to contend with the Power of the Heavenly Dao on the Investiture of the Gods. Not only was his divine ability broken, but he himself also suffered the backlash from heaven and earth.

As a result, not long after the Enshrinement Calamity ended, he silently perished.

The death of Jiang Ziya was not caused by anyone else but fell to the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, and therefore, the human race fell silent, as did the fiercely protective Primordial Heavenly Sovereign.

There was no way to seek revenge, not to mention rescue. If one dies from the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, there is no chance of revival, and even if one were revived, once discovered by the Heavenly Dao, a similar fate would be difficult to avoid.

The Ancestor of Soldiers, Jiang Ziya, was like this, and so was King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang; in a state of insufficient strength, forcibly burning one’s life in accord with the myriad laws, how could one possibly end well?

Under the onslaught of myriad laws, how many lives King Wen had would not suffice, and like Jiang Ziya, there was no way to save him.

The two prodigies of the human race, in their fight to break the calculations of the Heavenly Dao and protect the fate of the human race, all died under the Heavenly Dao. It truly is regrettable.

"Man will conquer heaven!"

"The Ancestor of Soldiers must have felt extreme unwillingness before his death, leaving behind these four words!"

Having learned the full story, Jiang Chen took another look at the words "Man will conquer heaven," deepening his understanding of them.

Though the Ancestor of Soldiers was defeated, he didn’t blame his plan, but rather the lack of power! If he had the strength of a saint, the course of events would have had a different outcome.

How resentful he must have been! Cursed at the scant time Cangtian had allotted him. If given another million years, how could he have been defeated? He would have surely turned heaven and earth upside down and continued the human race’s glory.

Therefore, filled with extreme resentment, the Ancestor of Soldiers, Jiang Ziya, left behind the words "Man will conquer heaven." He wanted to tell the successors that Cangtian is not invincible. A temporary failure means nothing; if the human race unites, they will surely conquer the Heavenly Dao.

"Admirable and lamentable!"

Jiang Chen felt a deep sense of regret. Two such brilliantly talented individuals had perished in their prime, undoubtedly a colossal loss for the human race.

Furthermore, the heroic deeds they accomplished are known to but a few. To fight against heaven and to best it—one needs tremendous courage; how many people from the past to the present possess it?

"The upper echelons of the human race have their concerns. How can the matter of the human race being plotted against by the Heavenly Dao be made public? If it were, wouldn’t it cause the people to panic and the clan to become unstable?"

Jiang Chen had only now come to understand why the higher echelons of the Human Race avoided discussing the matters concerning the Martial Ancestor and King Wen, because it could not be proclaimed to the outside world!

Could they really tell their people proactively that their race was being targeted by the Heavenly Dao, what was this for? The people below would definitely panic.

Such words unfavorable for stability could not be spoken!

Therefore, they could only wrong King Wen and the Martial Ancestor by sealing away their deeds. If Jiang Chen had not come here today, he would not know when he would have learned the truth about the two of them.

...

"Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique!"

Regaining his composure, Jiang Chen took his mind off those tumultuous years of Ancient Times and once again looked at the wall before him.

The Supreme Divine Power, "Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique", painstakingly created by King Wen and the Martial Ancestor together, must be within this wall.

This is the so-called legacy of the Martial Ancestor!

The Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique was of paramount importance, and the news of this Divine Ability could not be leaked. Therefore, the Martial Ancestor Jiang Ziya used his own legacy as a decoy to confuse the outsiders, leading them to believe that the legacy in his mausoleum was the Martial Ancestor’s legacy, in order to cover up the news of the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique.

It must be said that the Martial Ancestor’s intentions were painstaking indeed.

"This Divine Ability is fated for me!"

By now, Jiang Chen had also guessed that the opportunity he sensed here was the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique. It could be seen from the name that this Divine Ability was related to his Incense Fire Divine Path, which could help make it more complete.

"Divine Dao talisman, condense!"

After looking up and down the wall in front of him, Jiang Chen had a thought and suddenly activated his Divine Dao Divine Ability. He reached out and grabbed a large cluster of Cangtian’s willpower, condensed it into a mass, and transformed it into a profound Divine Dao talisman.

The so-called Divine Dao talisman was the foundation of the Divine Dao, used to transform incense willpower. The willpower produced directly by sentient beings contained all sorts of mixed thoughts and could not be absorbed directly. Only through the transformation of the Divine Dao talisman, could it be turned into pure Divine Power and absorbed by the Gods.

Boom!

At the moment when the Divine Dao talisman in Jiang Chen’s hand took shape, a vast divine might spread out, enveloping the entire hall.

Simultaneously feeling the breath of the Divine Dao, the wall before Jiang Chen trembled suddenly, accompanied by a dazzling brilliance.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

All the Innate divine inscriptions on that wall began to glow and levitate, intertwining in mid-air and generating one mysterious rune after another.

Before long, those runes turned into a golden scroll, which fell into Jiang Chen’s hands. This golden scroll was the Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique.

Both being part of the Divine Dao, the scroll was ultimately triggered by the contingency left by the Martial Ancestor Jiang Ziya, allowing the Supreme Divine Power, painstakingly created by the two, to reappear in the world.

"Emperor’s Divinity Enshrinement Technique!"

The instant the scroll landed in his hand, Jiang Chen couldn’t wait to open it and began to ponder it seriously.

The Divine Dao was not originated by Jiang Chen.

The appearance of Gods was extremely ancient, even predating the Prehistoric World, in the era of Hongmeng; it had already appeared. As the saying goes, "In the Hongmeng there was the Tao; Gods and Tao are one," this shows the antiquity and nobility of the Divine Dao.

No one dared to claim that they created the Divine Dao, and neither did Jiang Chen. What he created was not the Divine Dao but a branch of it, the Incense Fire Divine Path or the Willpower Divine Path.

What the Martial Saint and King Wen created was another branch of the Divine Dao, the Fate Divine Path.

The Fate Divine Path rooted in the fate of Heaven and Earth, the fate between Heaven and Earth, is the source of power for this path’s Gods.

Both part of the Divine Dao, although the essence of the two is the same, the sources of their power are completely different, one is fate, and the other is willpower.

ps: These Chapters are very difficult to write, it’s all original, and the settings are also newly created.

Damn, to write fanfiction to this extent is also phenomenal, these Chapters could serve as a theme, and I could write another Investiture of the Gods based on them.
