Chapter 1439: Chapter 509: The Man at the End of Returning to Truth Road (2)

"If it’s the shift in Heaven and Earth that’s causing realms to fall, even if we return to the True Saint domain, our Dao Power will absolutely remain at the Ninth Tier." The Sword Light spoke without hesitation.

"Ji Jingqiu, for now, don’t think about turning against them." Hel spoke, "If she dares to bestow this power upon you, she certainly has the means to restrain you."

Ji Jingqiu couldn’t help but nod; he too thought of this point.

In fact... Dou Mu has already achieved the control she anticipated; the binding on the Divine Embryo has disappeared, but it’s not gone—it just lies dormant.

This is likely why Dou Mu dares to expend ceaseless pure Divine Power to overhaul his Dao Foundation and forge his Divine Dao Fruit Position.

Although he and the Divine Embryo are twofold, and he can mobilize the powerful Dao Power of the Divine Embryo, if Dou Mu suppresses the Divine Embryo, it’s uncertain if this Dao Power can still be freely wielded.

This one indeed helped him step into Heaven, to reach True Saint Perfection, and according to her words, once the Divine Dao returns to its peak, he can directly leap into the realm of Transcendence under the Investiture of the Gods.

But simultaneously, she also held him firmly in her grasp!

If it were someone else without hope for the future, they might have long since worshipped Doumu Yuanjun as the True God, and compared to the Transcendence Fruit Position, the control backstage might seem insignificant.

But for Ji Jingqiu, this is not the grand freedom he desires.

"To seek the Dao of the Other Shore once again..."

Ji Jingqiu murmured; he finally understood another reason why Dou Mu values him so.

A century ago, was the Heavenly Court also pursuing the Other Shore?

Unfortunately, he originally wanted to use the retrieval of the Monkey Mind to attempt to find the Other Shore, but ultimately, it led nowhere.

At this moment, positioned in the Nine States, Ji Jingqiu finally "came to his senses," looking towards the infinite heights.

An invisible gaze had been upon him since just now, descending from the void.

It was a cold, indifferent gaze devoid of any emotion.

Is this the Investiture of the Gods?

To inscribe the True Name upon the Investiture of the Gods...

Ji Jingqiu’s thoughts raced; the "capacity for self-initiated restraint" that Doumu Yuanjun specifically mentioned, though unclear, is likely a warning or punishment from the Investiture of the Gods!

To obtain the Dao through the Investiture of the Gods naturally means to be constrained by it.

Given his current situation, it seems the unlucky one isn’t himself, but the Divine walking out from the Divine Embryo...

Ji Jingqiu’s thought flashed and vanished; if the Divine Embryo loses control, could it be restrained through the Investiture of the Gods?

Ji Jingqiu summoned the coachman with a wave and directly asked, "What does the Investiture of the Gods’ capacity for self-initiated restraint mean?"

Seeing him again, this True Saint Level Star Monarch became even more respectful, actually kneeling before him in an act akin to seeing the Emperor.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this is the Investiture of the Gods’ punishment for the Gods listed. All Gods on the list, if they violate their divine duties, will first be warned by the Investiture of the Gods, then punished. Once it reaches the ’constraint’ stage, the divine position of the Gods on the list will be suppressed to the lowest, causing unbearable pain, potentially having their divine position revoked, their foundation abolished..."

At this point, a look of fear appeared on the coachman’s face, as if he had witnessed a similar horrific scene.

Indeed, this is the Investiture of the Gods’ punishment.

Ji Jingqiu’s face showed a cold expression, feeling the gaze descending steadily, growing ever closer, like a looming warning.

The True Name...

This means to cast the True Spirit into the Investiture of the Gods?

Every person listed experiences this? No wonder the Investiture of the Gods holds them so firmly.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the Divine Embryo in the Divine Temple, trying to communicate, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response, as if it lacked consciousness.

"Ji Jingqiu, don’t think of resisting the Investiture of the Gods. I can feel this thing is very terrifying, especially for all living beings involved in the Divine Dao; it possesses absolute suppression!"

Hel spoke slowly, his voice very solemn,

"Your target is Doumu Yuanjun, not the Investiture of the Gods. Perhaps you can use the opportunity to leave your True Name to glimpse the reality of the Investiture of the Gods. If you can master the Investiture of the Gods, then Doumu Yuanjun and the Heavenly Court will no longer be a menace."

Ji Jingqiu sighed lightly, facing the gradually approaching Investiture of the Gods, he could only try.

He chose to face it head-on, his Spirit God launched like an arrow from a bowstring, charging into the Investiture of the Gods as if a lone leaf boat crashing into stormy seas, unable to steer, drifting passively, without a shred of freedom.

Suddenly, an immensely vast torrent of information and Dao surged down, nearly scattering and assimilating his spiritual consciousness.

The encompassing constraint power came like chains, wrapping around him, dragging him into the depths of the rivers and seas, confined for eternity.

At the critical moment, Ji Jingqiu drove the Divine Dao Fruit Position, as if clad in Divine Armor, manifesting an immortal and indestructible majestic Divine Golden Body, forcibly stabilizing himself amidst the stormy seas, like a pillar in the currents, holding open a calm water domain.

The endless rivers wash upon him but cannot topple that majestic Golden Body.

That indestructible Divine Power became his only anchor at this moment.

Ji Jingqiu focused his mind, surveying the true form of the Investiture of the Gods.

This Investiture of the Gods wasn’t the list he originally imagined, but rather a vast and boundless sea of Dao, or perhaps a sea of Divine Dao!

The climate was awe-inspiring, beyond imagination.

Ji Jingqiu’s Spirit God suddenly trembled.

In the depths of this sea of Divine Dao, he saw two even grander "river shadows," like the origin of everything.

Meandering and flowing, spanning endless void, it seems all comes from them, and ultimately returns to them.

Even the Dao follows such a pattern.

Within one river, myriad worlds rise and fall, the proliferation and silent annihilation of all beings, the ebb and flow of civilizations, all carry a misty breath, elusive and high, like bearing the fate trajectory of All Spirits and Ten Thousand Realms.
