I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 203 - 197: Emperor Dongyue
There are over a hundred and thirty members in the God-sealing Group, each with a title that corresponds to one of the Celestial Court's deities.
Jiang Hou only recognized a few well-known titles among them, like True Monarch Xiansheng, after all, he wasn't a professional like a Daoist.
And Jiang Hou noticed that most of the avatars had a red cross on them, and the remaining forty or so were greyed out.
Jiang Hou didn't immediately choose a name, but instead asked: "@Taibai, senior, I see some avatars have a red cross on them, what does it mean?"
"The red cross indicates someone has fallen."
Taibai sighed and said: "The path of the Transcendent becomes increasingly difficult as you go, and after decades, only a few have reached the Divine Realm, while others have perished along the way."
"Even with the protection of the Celestial Court, if one's fate is insufficient, death remains inevitable."
"The protection of the Celestial Court?" Jiang Hou paused once more.
"Haha, no rush. Once your title is written down, I'll explain it in detail to you."
It seemed this group was not as simple as expected. Jiang Hou's gaze swept over the list of members' mythological titles, pondering slightly.
What title should he choose, corresponding to the form of a giant beast like the Heaven-Reaching Great Saint?
Jiang Hou shook his head. The myths and legends of this world were similar to those of the previous Earth, but the Celestial Court did not include titles like Heaven-Reaching Great Saint or Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
"Senior, my title shall be Eastern Emperor." With gentle consideration, Jiang Hou decided on the title.
In mythological lore, Emperor Dongyue was the first lord of the Underworld, ranked above the Ten Halls Yama and Ksitigarbha King, overseeing all souls within the Three Realms and Six Paths.
This aligned quite well with Jiang Hou's Divine Weapon inheritance of Emperor Yama.
"Eastern Emperor, are you sure about this change?"
"I am sure."
"Wait a moment." Taibai replied with a momentary pause, and then the avatar dimmed.
Approximately five minutes passed, and Taibai's avatar lit up again: "War General Jiang, your title has been activated, and I've also granted you the relevant permissions."
"I won't go into detail about the group's rules and introductions; you'll understand when you check the pinned files later."
"Recently, there have been frequent disturbances in the depths of the ruins, so the group is a bit quiet, with everyone busy offline. I have some matters to attend to as well; we'll chat when there's time next."
"Oh, by the way, War General Jiang, when you're done with your matters over there, remember to visit Dragon City; there's something beneficial for you."
"… Alright, senior, you go ahead."
On the roaring fighter jet, Jiang Hou looked at the files, videos, and software sections that popped up after gaining access, directly opening the pinned file.
"Ancient Celestial Court Fragment!"
Jiang Hou's attention was instantly drawn to the six characters on the first page of the document.
This group is not only a chat group for the epoch creators within Heavenly Punishment but also represents the earthly Celestial Court led by group leader Emperor Ziwei!
The Celestial Court Fragment was obtained by Emperor Ziwei more than twenty years ago in the ruins, a legacy item from the Celestial Demon Era's Ancient Celestial Court, with some connections to the legendary Immortal Demon Era.
And although it is called a fragment, it is actually a majestic palace that stands independently outside the world, containing special powers to suppress elusive fortunes.
Moreover, everyone who can develop their own Era Power in this time is a person of great fortune for this era.
The origin of the God-sealing Group is to gather the Power of the Ninth Epoch to reconstruct the Celestial Court and suppress the fortune of humanity.
Each group member can choose a title corresponding to a mythological deity based on their individual characteristics and establish a palace in the space where the Celestial Court resides.
Once the palace stands, and the divine position is seated, the enshrined will receive the ancient Celestial Court's fortune blessing.
Though fortune and luck are elusive concepts that even True God-level beings cannot perceive or touch, remaining as legendary descriptors.
Research over decades by Heavenly Punishment has discovered that those who have been enshrined found their fate strangely improved.
Even those with powers spiraling out of control inexplicably managed to endure a bit longer, leading to the conclusion after various verifications that 'fortune' truly exists.
However, the requirements to join the Celestial Court are very strict; participants must be Ninth Era creators and have a corresponding divine office.
Besides, with the Celestial Demon Era's destruction and the Celestial Court's collapse, the so-called fortune had long dissipated. Over decades, many strong individuals still met their deaths as fated.
Thus, the additional 'blessing' of the God-sealing Group can only be seen as an ancillary benefit; the core remains focused on exchanges.
Normally, members discuss recent 'cultivation' experiences in the group, and using the software, they can project their 'inheritance' in 3D for uploading to the group files as videos.
Currently, there are over sixty videos and two hundred files in the group, consisting of those Transcendents' insights and unique Era capabilities.
After reading through the group introduction materials, Jiang Hou clicked on the video section, and instantly a series of videos with dramatic titles appeared before his eyes.
[All Heaven Star Constellation Map Opening Method]
[Physical Body to Sainthood Technique]
[Cave Heaven Development]
[Eternal Evergreen Technique]
[Innate Sword Array...]
The names of these cultivation techniques were quite awe-inspiring, leaving Jiang Hou greatly astonished as he instinctively clicked on the first All Heaven Star Constellation video.
The video began with a phantom figure appearing, accompanied by a low, majestic voice of a middle-aged man slowly emerging.
"The All Celestial Stars Map, condenses the Destiny Star within the body using Star Power, opening the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations Map. Opening each constellation map awakens special abilities..."
The video was ten minutes long, and after watching it, Jiang Hou fell into silence.
This power named All Celestial Stars was powerful, but it had a problem: one must be able to absorb Star Power to 'cultivate', and it was incomplete.
So far, Emperor Ziwei had only explored up to the seventh constellation map, let alone developing a Four Symbols Star Palace.
Then Jiang Hou clicked on the second Physical Body to God video, stemming from True Monarch Xiansheng's Era inheritance video.
"Using the tangible spiritual will as fire, burn the body, activate potential for repeated life metamorphoses, each metamorphosis is a revolution, Nine Revolutions to Sainthood..."
Apart from a 3D humanoid projection on burning the body, the video also detailed the steps for stimulating bodily potential.
But all of this hinged on having spiritual will that could transform into fire...
The abilities of these creators were each very potent, but like Jiang Hou's primordial energy, they required certain prerequisites to be met, otherwise cultivation would be impossible.
Thus, aside from the creators themselves, practically nobody else could cultivate these abilities.
However, although cultivation wasn't possible, these videos each had unique perspectives; many insights, power applications, and explorations into the mysteries of the human body greatly broadened Jiang Hou's horizons.
Particularly, some ideas on developing the human body could be adapted for use in Jiang Hou's Martial Dao journey.
For the remainder of the journey, Jiang Hou immersed himself in absorbing useful information from the shared content, until the pilot's solemn voice echoed from the external speaker of the cockpit.
"General, we are about to arrive at the Mokagan Corps' base."
"Have we arrived?" Jiang Hou exhaled, put away his phone, and looked ahead.
Before him, the military camp stretched for several kilometers, with soldiers and armored vehicles moving in and out, while further away at the airbase, fighter jets took off and landed.
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Hou's blood surged with excitement.
