Chapter 502 Divine Position
After hearing the conditions proposed by Lin Fei, the masters present had different expressions on their faces, but they all admired Lin Fei's methods and magnanimity.
You must understand that each of these positions as a Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (a deity of the Zhou Heaven) is a treasure that people would fight tooth and nail for. Possessing a Zhou Tian Zheng Shen position can instantly create a powerful Celestial Master.
Everyone assumed Lin Fei would keep such a treasure for himself, but to their surprise, he shared it with everyone. They couldn't help but admire Lin Fei's resourcefulness.
For these grandmasters, the immediate emergence of a new Celestial Grandmaster within their sect would be the best possible outcome. Moreover, if the Demonic Sect were to spiral out of control, their respective sects would face annihilation. Following Lin Fei's method was the only way to resolve the problem.
Whether those disciples would continue to obey the sect's orders or serve Lin Fei after obtaining their divine positions was no longer their concern.
None of them were fools. Lin Fei possessed a priceless treasure like the Investiture of the Gods, and they no longer had the right to challenge him. If they stubbornly refused Lin Fei's proposal, they would only end up in a lose-lose situation. It was better to take this opportunity to gain some benefits and arrange for their outstanding disciples to be included in the Investiture of the Gods list, becoming members of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (righteous gods of the Zhou Dynasty).
The grandmasters present didn't hesitate much; after a brief moment of thought, they all nodded in agreement. They pledged to do everything in their power to find the lost divine position on the land of Shenzhou and to seal it away again before the Demonic Sect completely spiraled out of control.
……
Lin Fei was naturally very satisfied with this result. He said to the grandmasters present, "In that case, I'll leave it to you all. We only have ten days left. We must find as many divine positions as possible within these ten days. I will remain on the Island of Saints for the time being, partly to observe the movements of the Demonic Sect, and partly to allow you all to send your outstanding disciples from various sects to the Island of Saints during this time of searching for divine positions. If they pass my test, they will be listed on the Investiture of the Gods on the day of the Investiture of the Gods!"
Being listed on the Investiture of the Gods, instantly transforming an ordinary cultivator into a powerful righteous god of heaven and earth, is an immense blessing for all cultivators.
Now that Lin Fei possesses the Investiture of the Gods, it seems almost inevitable that he will dominate the field. The current focus of these grandmasters is not on how to limit Lin Fei, but rather on ensuring that their outstanding disciples occupy as many spots as possible on the Investiture of the Gods.
It should be known that the positions of the Heavenly Gods correspond to the number of stars in the heavens, totaling 365. The most powerful of these positions, without a doubt, would be reserved by Lin Fei for his trusted confidants.
Of the remaining divine positions, whichever faction can occupy more spots will become the strongest force after Lin Fei.
Now that the Investiture of the Gods has appeared and the position of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen has been revealed, the entire land of China will likely undergo a complete reshuffle.
Those who gain more divine positions during this power shift will have greater influence across the land after the Demonic Sect is sealed.
The number one power in the world will naturally be Lin Fei's Southern Tang in the future, but the second place is something everyone will have to fight for.
With this in mind, the masters present did not delay and took their leave of the Island of Saints, returning to their respective sects in the Divine Continent.
On one hand, they dispatched all their disciples to search the land of China, digging deep and exhausting all their efforts to find the lost divine position.
On the other hand, they also carefully selected a group of outstanding disciples from their sects to go to the Island of Saints to undergo Lin Fei's test, striving to occupy more divine positions on the Investiture of the Gods Mountain.
Due to the depletion of spiritual energy within their bodies, these grandmasters temporarily lost their ability to swiftly travel between the Divine Continent and the Island of Saints. Therefore, the Hidden Sword Elder, with immense supernatural power, opened a spatial passage between the Divine Continent and the Island of Saints, enabling direct travel between the two regions.
……
During this period, Lin Fei stayed on the Island of Saints, checking the movements of the Demonic Sect every day to see if there would be any unusual changes.
On the other hand, the outstanding disciples selected by various sects also arrived at the Island of Saints one after another through the spatial passage opened by the Hidden Sword Elder.
He then followed his agreement with those celestial masters and conducted tests on the outstanding disciples carefully selected by these major sects to choose those who could be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
These disciples were the core members of their respective sects, possessing not only exceptional talent but also impeccable character. Even with Lin Fei's discerning eye, he couldn't find any major flaws in them.
Ultimately, among the disciples sent to the Holy Island by various sects, Lin Fei selected nearly two hundred people to become candidates for inheriting the divine position.
There are a total of 365 positions of the Heavenly Gods. Apart from those positions whose original owners have not yet perished and cannot be found, there are approximately 300 remaining positions that can be located.
Of these three hundred or so divine positions, Lin Fei naturally wouldn't leave those at the Earth Immortal level or above to outsiders. Although once a name is on the Investiture of the Gods list, it will be subject to Lin Fei's control, Lin Fei still intends to reserve the divine positions at the Earth Immortal level and above for his trusted confidants.
As for the remaining nearly two hundred divine positions, Lin Fei planned to take them all out and distribute them among the major sects of the world.
Although there were no divine positions above the Earth Immortal realm, this was already enough to make the major sects happy. It should be understood that the top powers in the world today each have three or four, or at least only one, Celestial Grandmasters.
Now, Lin Fei has made a move and brought out nearly two hundred divine positions, which can be described as extremely generous.
……
With all the major sects working together to find the divine position, the efficiency was exceptionally fast.
If Lin Fei were to search alone, even with his abilities, it would take him at least a year or two to find all the lost divine positions.
However, with the help of these sects, they found all the lost divine positions they could find in just seven days.
This made Lin Fei marvel at the immense power of these sects; if he didn't have the Investiture of the Gods, he probably wouldn't have been able to subdue them.
After all the divine positions had been gathered, Lin Fei began the conferment of titles upon the gods on the Island of Saints. He assigned the divine positions to the pre-determined candidates and inscribed their names on the Investiture of the Gods list.
