Chapter 579 Going Against the Grain! All on the List?
As Niu Ba asked the question, all the high-ranking members of the Niu clan in the hall looked at Niu Ben in unison.
With Niu Ben back, they had a pillar of support.
Everyone wants to hear what arrangements Niu Ben will make for the upcoming Investiture of the Gods calamity.
Niu Ben remained calm, glancing at the numerous high-ranking members of the Niu clan before turning his gaze to Niu Badao:
"Father."
"It's very simple."
"Let's get as many of our bovine creatures on the list as possible!"
As soon as Niu Ben spoke, Niu Ba was stunned, and the high-ranking members of the Niu clan in the hall were also dumbfounded.
"What?"
"I...I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
"Ben'er, are you saying you've made a mistake?"
Niu Ba cried out in surprise, his face filled with bewilderment and confusion.
It should be noted that during the previous meeting at Zixiao Palace, none of the great sages wanted their disciples to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
After all, being listed on the Investiture of the Gods grants immortality and indestructibility.
However, there is a limitation: they must obey the orders of the person holding the list.
Right now, Niu Ben suddenly said that as many of the Niu clan's creatures as possible should be listed on the list. Wouldn't this be handing over the Niu clan's talents to the Heavenly Court?
Not only was Niu Ba stunned, but so were many of the high-ranking members of the Niu clan in the hall.
"Your Majesty?"
"Isn't it... that nobody wants to be on the Investiture of the Gods list?"
"What's going on?"
"Why is Your Majesty doing the opposite?"
"Now that these bull-like creatures have made it onto the list, won't they be subject to the control of others from now on?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, what exactly do you mean?"
"..."
Many high-ranking members of the Bull Clan were astonished and looked at Niu Ben in bewilderment.
No matter how much they guessed, they never expected it.
The solution proposed by Niu Ben here is surprisingly like this.
Stared at by Niu Ba and the others with puzzled expressions, Niu Ben remained calm and composed, and said with a faint smile:
"Gentlemen."
"Once someone is listed on the Investiture of the Gods, their life and death are indeed controlled by the Investiture of the Gods."
"but……"
At this point, Niu Ben suddenly paused, then added with a meaningful look on his face:
"What if this Investiture of the Gods ultimately falls into my hands?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, the hall fell silent instantly.
After a long silence, Niu Ba and the others finally came back to their senses from the shock.
"yes!"
Niu Ba said excitedly, then looked eagerly at Niu Ben:
"Old Niu, how come I didn't think of that?"
"Ben'er, are you confident?"
Niu Ben smiled slightly, nodded firmly, and asked in return:
"Father, what do you think?"
Niu Ben paused for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
"My son is the foremost saint among all the heavens."
"As long as a Heavenly Dao-level being doesn't intervene, no one can defeat us!"
"Getting my hands on that Investiture of the Gods list is no problem!"
Niu Ba was extremely excited when he said this.
Just now, while discussing the Investiture of the Gods calamity with a group of high-ranking members of the Bull Clan, he was filled with worry.
After all, the Bull Clan had two sages, him and Niu Ben, in charge.
However, the other beings of the Bull Clan are considerably weaker in cultivation and strength compared to other religious sects and major clans.
Once the great calamity erupts, even with the protection of these two saints, many beings will likely still be included in the Investiture of the Gods.
Now that's good, Niu Ben can just say that all the creatures of the Niu clan can be included in the list, so Niu Ba will naturally feel no pressure anymore.
At this moment, many of the high-ranking members of the Bull Clan present also recovered from their shock.
"yes!"
"How could we not have thought of that?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"We'll make the list! We'll all make the list!"
"That's right, with the King protecting us, what's there to be afraid of?"
"..."
Many high-ranking members of the Bull Clan spoke excitedly.
I was originally very worried about being listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
But after Niu Ben said that, they actually had a great expectation of being listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Seeing this, Niu Ben smiled slightly and said:
"Those beings listed on the Investiture of the Gods will not die as long as the Investiture of the Gods remains."
"In other words, as long as the Investiture of the Gods exists, the true spirits listed on it will live on forever."
"Even if the physical body perishes, one can use the Investiture of the Gods to rebuild a divine body and live as long as heaven and earth."
"At that time, our bull clan can use this to create a group of immortal beings. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Niu Ba and the others had no objection to what Niu Ben said.
After a moment's hesitation, Niu Ba burst into hearty laughter:
"Ha ha!"
"well!"
"Son, you always have such a good idea!"
"How could I not have thought of that?"
"Let's go straight for the Investiture of the Gods!"
Niu Ben remained calm, though he knew the truth in his heart.
The Investiture of the Gods was bestowed upon Haotian by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so other sages naturally dared not covet it.
But Niu Ben thinks differently.
Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun gave Haotian the Investiture of the Gods, he did not say that others were not allowed to compete for the Investiture of the Gods.
It's true that Hongjun gave the Investiture of the Gods to Haotian, but he might not be able to protect it, which is another matter for Guanzu.
After a moment's thought, Niu Ben came to his senses and looked at Niu Ba with a serious expression:
"Father."
"Before the Great Tribulation begins, the Bull Clan still needs to make more preparations."
"It seems that other forces are currently actively preparing for the Great Tribulation."
"We cannot become complacent just because we want to be on the list."
"Be fully prepared, just in case anything goes wrong!"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's words, Niu Ba nodded solemnly, patted his chest and belly, and said:
"Don't worry, Ben'er!"
"Over the next period, I will personally supervise and fully prepare for the upcoming great calamity!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben smiled slightly and then left without delay.
After Niu Ben left, Niu Ba quickly made arrangements.
……
Time flies, and before we know it, a period of time has passed.
At this time, the demon realm is located.
Inside the main hall, Emperor Jun sat on his throne, his expression slightly solemn, still troubled by the matter of the Great Tribulation.
At this moment, a figure appeared, it was Donghuang Taiyi.
Seeing Di Jun's worried expression, Donghuang Taiyi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Elder brother, are you still thinking about that great calamity?"
Di Jun came to his senses and nodded slightly, saying:
"The matter of this great calamity is no small matter; if we are not careful, my demon race..."
At this point, Di Jun stopped abruptly, then sighed helplessly.
After a slight pause, Donghuang Taiyi asked softly:
"Is there really no way for us to avoid this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods?"
Di Jun smiled bitterly and replied:
"The oath of Heaven has been made, and all the saints have already branded and signed it on the Investiture of the Gods. There is no way to escape it."
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi frowned and said coldly:
"It's all that bull's fault!"
"If he hadn't suggested to the Dao Ancestor that everyone enter the tribulation, things might have turned out differently."
"Our demon race..."
To Donghuang Taiyi's surprise, before he could finish speaking, Dijun suddenly frowned and muttered:
"Someone's coming!"
Donghuang Taiyi was stunned for a moment, and after a brief examination, his expression suddenly changed.
