Chapter 1470: He is your father

Chapter 1470: Chapter 1470: He is your father

"Chant—"

Di Yanlong’s roar pierced the air, his howl reigning supreme across the Heavenly Emperor’s Universe, causing the souls of all beings to tremble.

Wují’s Primordial Robe transformed into the Heavenly Emperor’s Golden Armor, exuding a commanding presence; his imperial crown swayed with Qin Jun’s steps. Strands of jade beads jingling, they could not obstruct his gaze.

In the midst of the deafening cheers from countless creatures, Qin Jun marched step by step toward the summit.

All eyes were focused on him.

Boom—

Thunderclouds gathered abruptly, the thunderbolts were those of the Heavenly Dao, and now that the Great Qin Heavenly Court had unified the inner universe, many divine generals had transcended the Heavenly Dao, forcing it to submit.

The Torch Dragon, Double-pupil Bird, and Qiongqi interwove as they flew, circling around the massive tripod. Their forms began to enlarge, becoming like colossal mountains, vast and imposing.

Before long, Qin Jun reached the top of the million-step white jade staircase and stood before the colossal tripod.

His gaze intensified, his form instantly towering tens of thousands of Zhang tall, standing proudly upon the sacrificial platform, making even the giant tripod seem small in front of him.

He slowly turned around, looking down at the countless beings below, taking the entire universe into his view.

Countless gazes looked up to Qin Jun, their expressions filled with fervent adoration.

"Today marks the grand Investiture of the Gods ceremony of the Great Qin Heavenly Court! I am the Heavenly Emperor, the deity who confers titles. All beings must show reverence!"

Qin Jun slowly spoke, the Great Qin Heavenly Cauldron gathering the qi movement of the Heavenly Dao, but as the Heavenly Emperor, he would not kneel to pay homage, for even the Heavenly Dao must bow at his feet.

As he spoke, the entire platform fell silent immediately. All beings fell quiet, their eyes excitedly on him, waiting for his words.

Especially the gods and celestial officers of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, they were beside themselves with excitement, for today was their day of glory.

"Investiture of the Gods ceremony..."

Mo Ruohe murmured, a bitter smile on his face.

To mortals, gods and immortals seemed unattainable, and it was unthinkable that there would come a day when they, too, would worship divine beings, which was an enormous blow to the confidence of overlord-like figures like themselves.

Zhou Xuwang, a temperamental man, was at this moment extremely sullen. He wanted to leap out and stop Qin Jun, but the tremendous pressure prevented him from moving a muscle.

"Yang Jian! I hereby appoint you as the Grand Divine General Erlang, ranking as a first-grade divine general in the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

Qin Jun began the enshrinement. The first to be named was Yang Jian, who was placed first, unquestioned by anyone.

For the Investiture of the Gods ceremony to be meaningful, he deliberately raised his voice, letting it be heard across all universes under the Great Qin Heavenly Court’s dominion.

In an instant, the creatures of various universes were shaken to their core by his voice.

"Investiture of the Gods ceremony! It truly is the appointing of deities!"

"Yang Jian... This fellow is really set to rise above all living beings."

"Is there really no one who can overthrow the Great Qin Heavenly Court now?"

"Mighty is the Heavenly Emperor of Qin! Even I am boiling with fervor, wanting to join the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

"This day is destined to be eternally remembered!"

The creatures were all discussing, unable to contain their excitement, and more and more began to believe in the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

After taking control of their celestial domains, the Great Qin Heavenly Court did not rule with cruelty. Instead, it relaxed domain regulations, granting them more freedom. The common creatures did not care who was the ruler of the universe; whoever made their lives better would win their allegiance.

At the edge of the inner universe, two figures were flying.

It was Liu Ruolai and her daughter Ruoxin.

The mother and daughter had been in the inner universe for several days, searching for a place to settle down when they were startled by Qin Jun’s voice.

"This voice... how can it be..."

Liu Ruolai’s cool and beautiful face changed color instantly as if she had seen a ghost.

Ruoxin, head tilted and thumb in her mouth, asked, "Mother, whose voice is that? Is it that of an immortal god?"

Alas, her mother did not answer her, for she was engulfed in immense shock.

"Li Yuanba! I confer upon you the title of Great Golden Peng Divine General, ranking as a first-grade Divine General in the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

"Guan Yu! I confer upon you the title of Azure Dragon Great Martial Saint, ranking as a first-grade Divine General in the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

"Qiang Liang! I confer upon you the title of Ancestral Thunder Divine General, ranking as a first-grade Divine General in the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

"Liu Bowen! I confer upon you the title of Saint Duke of Great Qin, ranking as a first-grade Immortal Official in the Great Qin Heavenly Court!"

Qin Jun began consecutively bestowing divine titles, each statement reverberating throughout every universe, bringing fame to the Divine Generals and Immortal Officials whose names were called.

Eight Wilderness.

The Grandmaster of Heaven stood under a tree, his face filled with astonishment, his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long while.

After a long time, he finally murmured to himself: "How is this possible... These names..."

Qiang Liang, Di Jun, Di Jiang, Immortal Zhenyuan, Fuxi, the Grand Supreme Elder Lord, Evening Star, Xuandu, Guangchengzi, South Pole Immortal Elder, Daoist Lu Ya, and others, names from his past life he was all too familiar with now appeared. Even his own disciples, Her Highness Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming and others, filled him with utter disbelief.

On his way to the ancient path of the Holy Emperor’s Way, he had fully recovered the memories of his past life, yet to no avail.

Saints here cannot stir up much turmoil.

"Who is this Heavenly Emperor, after all?"

The Grandmaster of Heaven fell into deep thought, suddenly feeling that within the Great Qin Heavenly Court there lay an opportunity for him.

Elsewhere, Liu Ruolai lowered her head, remaining silent.

Hearing the names of Li Yuanba and the others, she became certain that this Heavenly Emperor was none other than Qin Jun.

She didn’t understand how Qin Jun had reached a higher plane of the universe before she did, given that she had been racing at full speed. She had just arrived when Qin Jun had already conquered the inner cosmos?

Suddenly, she wondered if she were in a dream.

Because the rate of development of the Great Qin Heavenly Court could no longer be described as miraculous.

"Mother, what are you thinking about? Why are you not talking to me?"

Ruxin shook Liu Ruolai’s arm, complaining in a chirpy voice with pouting lips that looked pitiable.

Liu Ruolai snapped out of it, with a complex expression on her face, and said softly, "Ruxin, do you want to know who this Heavenly Emperor is?"

"Yes, Mother, do you know him?" Ruxin immediately asked with surprise, her young age not allowing her to understand the intricacies of right and wrong, but Qin Jun’s voice made her feel his power.

"He is your father." Liu Ruolai said softly.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Ruxin’s hands cupped her cheeks, and her small mouth hung agape in shock.

...

It wasn’t until half an hour later that Qin Jun came to a halt.

Every God and Demon was granted a divine title, along with many other Divine Generals and Immortal Officials of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, numbering over ten thousand, their might shaking the universe.

Standing proudly in front of the Great Qin Heaven’s Cauldron, Qin Jun was like a titan of creation, declaring: "This cauldron shall be known as the Great Qin Heaven’s Cauldron. From now on, it will suppress the qi movement of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, bringing blessings to all beings. After you Domain Lords return, each of you shall construct this cauldron!"

The domain lords of the immortal realms all looked towards the Great Qin Heaven’s Cauldron, committing its every detail to memory.

"Your Majesty’s might is as imposing as it ever was!"

Xuandang remarked with emotion, as Guo Jia and others nodded in agreement.

"That fellow is already scared witless."

Ji Qiankun teased, pointing towards someone behind him; everyone turned to look, seeing Xia Shenwu standing at the edge of the altar, his expression extremely complex.

Xia Shenwu had been present for quite a while, having witnessed the majestic scene of Qin Jun conferring divine titles, and his heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

This Great Emperor had never known such grandeur.

"Did he come here to challenge Your Majesty?"

Xuandang frowned and asked. Xia Shenwu was a junior he favored, a potent Human Clan emperor he hadn’t expected to provoke Qin Jun.
