Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1060 The Guest Takes Over the Host, Marshal Tianpeng
Fortunately, thanks to the Jade Emperor's arrangements, they arrived in this outer realm early on and were able to establish themselves here.

Several powerful immortals who were mixed in with the Jade Emperor recalled the Jade Emperor's instructions.

Strictly speaking, they did not establish a foothold in the outer realms of the Great Heaven—that place, where the world was created and guarded, is a place that even the Great Luo dares not touch.

These Great Luo Immortals who mingle here are actually just outsiders, existing at the intersection of the Five Great Worlds.

As instructed by the Jade Emperor, once they arrived at this borderland, they were to behave themselves and become ordinary vagrants.

While adhering to the tacit agreement, they also took various measures to evade responsibility for actions outside their territory.

At the same time, if there is a Great Luo summoning someone to plan something at the intersection of the Great Heaven and Earth—that is, in the Chaos—they can respond to the call by manifesting their avatars.

If all the powerful beings at the Daluo level in the Five Great Worlds were brought out and ranked according to their strength, the Jade Emperor's ranking could only be considered near the top, but definitely not at the very top.

But when it comes to controlling and manipulating people's hearts, the Jade Emperor is undoubtedly the most powerful being in the entire universe.

From the very beginning, the Jade Emperor's way of understanding the situation of the Five Directions was not by looking at the big picture, but by understanding people's hearts.

Over this long period of time, the Jade Emperor had developed a unique understanding within these five great realms:

That is, integrity, which is unique to Pantian.

Even in the realm of Pan Tian, ​​the trust and righteousness between people do not appear out of nowhere. They are things that are consciously cultivated by people. They are extremely fragile concepts that can collapse at any time.

The primary condition for building this trust is that someone must take the initiative to trust others and voluntarily relinquish their own interests so that the majority of people can jointly maintain this fragile concept.

Creating something from scratch requires immense sacrifice.

Under this understanding, within the four great heavens outside Pan Tian, ​​although the powerful beings there also realized the importance of trust, no one was willing to give their trust to others, let alone give up their own interests, or even make sacrifices to form a foundation of mutual trust.

That is why, to this day, the four directions of the Great Heaven beyond Pantian have not yet built a unified foundation of mutual trust.

The Jade Emperor's moves to the outer realms were based on this.

According to the Jade Emperor's instructions... if, within that chaos, a Great Luo from beyond the realm gathers numerous Great Luos, intending to plot against Pan Tian, ​​it could potentially lead to a very dire situation for Pan Tian...

All these invited high-ranking officials need to do is break the trust that never existed in the first place, and that will be enough!
Regardless, Pantian is ultimately a complete Great Heaven—except that its top-level power cannot compare to the Four Great Heavens, its power below the top level is no less than that of the Four Great Heavens.

Under such circumstances, if anyone wants to make any plans against Pan Tian, ​​then apart from the Creator taking action personally, the powerful beings below the Creator must unite as one and trust each other in order to have any chance of disrupting Pan Tian's overall situation. Otherwise, they can only follow the trend of Pan Tian and drift with the tide.

Even when Pan Tian was in the midst of a calamity, it was no exception.

And at this moment, the situation in Pantian was about to be disrupted.

That is why these few Great Luo Immortals who were idle in the outer realms did not hesitate to break the 'string' called trust.

This is an invitation from a Great Luo, not an invitation from someone above Great Luo—and these powerful figures from Pantian are all Great Luo.

Therefore, they were not worried about what kind of retaliation they would face after breaking the string, nor did they care whether their identities would be exposed.

Anyway, we're all just Ronaldo.

Just as the Great Luo Immortals fell silent because of the broken trust, the Great Luo Immortal who had invited them here by using the shadow of the World Tree spoke up again, bluntly revealing the identities of Pan Tian and the others.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Jade Emperor's people."

"What a fine Jade Emperor."

"With one hand holding the Heavenly Rules, he pulled back Cheng Tian, ​​who was competing with him."

"Another act of integrity makes it difficult for us to join forces."

"Thus, even if he were to enter the tribulation, the situation in Pantian would still be firmly under his control, moving in the direction he had predetermined."

"You ministers of the Jade Emperor, tell me, has the Jade Emperor entered the game yet?"

The man who had gathered everyone spoke loudly.

Before the other powerful figures could respond, the man's voice rang out again.

"Since there are ministers of the Jade Emperor at this gathering, there must also be other fellow Daoists from Pantian."

"After all, among the five great worlds, your fellow Daoists from Pantian are the most fond of playing chess, placing pieces wherever they please."

“I suspect that there are still some of your subjects who serve the Emperor.”

"Do you really want to see Chengtian bound high in the heavens, maintaining the operation of this calamity, while the Jade Emperor goes deep into the calamity, ultimately using Chengtian's power to take everything away, and then turning around to suppress Chengtian?"

"Did Chengtian and the Jade Emperor plan this all along?"

"Or has their mutual trust truly reached this point?"

"Or is it that Chengtian itself, which symbolizes faith and righteousness, has been bound by faith and righteousness, and is forced to watch as the Jade Emperor seizes the final victory in that calamity?"

"Fellow Daoists, even if you are all Great Luo in Pantian, do not forget that Pantian is still a system covered by karmic positions, a system of authority."

"Whether it is your divine position in Pantian or our divine status, both are the authority over the operation of heaven and earth, and the key to controlling heaven and earth."

"The person who wields this key will certainly gain unparalleled power, but will also be bound by and influenced by this key."

"I know what kind of being the Jade Emperor, the subject of Heaven, is, and you all know as well."

"Do you think the Jade Emperor will let Chengtian go after he has reaped the final reward?"

"Will you be let go?"

This person continued to incite and try to sway the minds of others, trying to get them to join forces and break the rules and laws of Pantian.

As he spoke, the voice of another Great Luo Immortal from Pantian finally rang out from the illusory image of the World Tree.

"Loki, shut up."

"Since you are so eager to break the laws of faith and righteousness, why don't you go to Pantian yourself?"

"Intrigue, trickery, deception—these are all powerful forces, just like the Way of the God of Wealth, which permeates the five directions of the world."

“I know that you have always been trying to extend your authority throughout the five great realms and unify all of them in order to achieve your ultimate goal.”

“It’s not just you—the other gods of trickery and deception in the other great heavens all think the same way.”

"If that's the case, then why don't you dare to step into Pantian and face Chengtian yourselves?"

"The conspiracies, tricks, and frauds of the past are things that everyone fears immensely, as they can penetrate everywhere and sow discord in everything."

"But after Cheng Tian upheld faith and righteousness and achieved the Great Luo, the Way of Faith and Righteousness naturally became the opponent of your Way of Deception." "Although faith and righteousness have not spread throughout the Five Great Heavens, they have not made the Four Great Heavens where you are located embrace faith and righteousness like Pan Tian."

"However, the fellow Daoists of the four directions are already actively embracing faith and righteousness."

"Under the radiance of integrity, your deceit must be suffering greatly from being suppressed, right?"

"And the contract, the secret ritual..."

“You were once a means of resisting fraud, but now, under the guise of integrity, you are not having an easy time either.”

This Pan Tian Da Luo laughed loudly, making no attempt to conceal his identity.

—The Supreme Ruler of the North Pole, Marshal Tianpeng!
Among the powerful figures in Pantian, he is the most well-known.

The supreme commander on that far northern battlefield!

Even the great Luo cultivators of Pantian, once they step into the battlefield beyond the far north, must also abide by the military law of this Grand Marshal Tianpeng.

Marshal Tianpeng stood up on the illusory image of the World Tree, his aura radiating outwards. The surrounding chaos swayed constantly, as if it were about to open and close, transforming into a fruit on the World Tree, making the illusory image of the World Tree real.

"I cannot know the identities of all the fellow Daoists here, nor can I know their requests."

"But you lot... what you seek must be Chengtian, right?"

"Do you want to break the faith of Chengtian and let your darkness once again cover people's hearts, or do you want your way to become the only light in that darkness?"

"If that's the case, why don't you personally step into Pantian?"

"For other fellow Daoists, Pan Tian's chess game is an unpredictable killing game, but for you, Pan Tian, ​​which is covered by faith and righteousness, is your testing ground."

"After stepping into Pantian, your opportunities to advance further are even greater than those of your fellow Daoists."

"If that's the case, why don't you just step into Pantian?"

"I think Chengtian would be very welcoming to you," said Grand Marshal Tianpeng with a smile.

Amidst the smile of Marshal Tianpeng, a deathly silence fell upon the illusory image of the World Tree.

Even the Great Luo Immortals of the Outer Heavens held this supreme commander, who sat serenely in the heavens and commanded the northernmost battlefield, in the highest esteem.

"Tianpeng, how dare you come here? Aren't you afraid of dying here?" A moment later, another voice rang out from the phantom of the World Tree.

Another top-tier powerhouse has revealed his identity on this World Tree.

“Even if what you have here is just a thought, just an incarnation, if this thought or incarnation falls into our hands, it is enough for us to grasp your vital energy and make us take action against you.”

As he spoke, boundless thunder manifested, thunder that seemed to shatter the chaos, causing the world to flash with lightning—the auras of the many Great Luo Immortals who wielded the Dao of Thunder were all stirred by this lightning.

This is, Zhou.

Or, according to Pan Tian's interpretation, he should be revered as 'Emperor Zhou'.

One of the former god-kings of the Southern Heaven!

He was once a powerful figure who, as a God-King, touched upon the realm of Saints.

Although he has lost his authority as a God-King, as a powerful figure who has reached the level of the Great Luo, he is still one of the most outstanding figures among the Great Luo.

"Zhou, I knew you would be here."

The voice of Marshal Tianpeng rang out.

After all, this was an invitation that involved countless Grand Luo Immortals—even Marshal Tianpeng couldn't be sure whether the figures projected in the World Tree's phantom were real or fake.

But in any case, this gathering, mediated by the shadow cast by the World Tree, was earth-shattering in its scale.

In these five great realms, no great Luo who controls the situation of heaven and earth would miss this gathering.

Even Marshal Tianpeng suspected that the Jade Emperor and Ao Bing might have come here as well.

"Just an incarnation."

"Even if you take this incarnation, so what?"

Even if I'm critically injured and barely clinging to life, what can I do?

"I am on this battlefield in the far north, in this camp in the far north."

"When it comes to the Five Great Heavens and Earths, among our fellow Daoists at this level, I am the most open and honest, and I have never concealed my interactions with anyone."

"Why don't you try to kill me?"

Marshal Tianpeng laughed jokingly.

Hearing this, the other Great Luo Immortals on the World Tree, whose identities were unknown, also smiled bitterly.

That's right, Marshal Tianpeng is the most upright and honest person among the top experts of the Five Directions Great World—which also sounds like the easiest person to kill.

But actually?
Where is it located?
Inside the far northern camp!
In terms of safety, it can be said to be one of the safest places in the Five Directions World.

In the center of the heavens, celestial soldiers and generals, as well as human clans, all guard this place.

Those Great Luo Immortals who came from Pantian, as well as those Human Emperors, although they opened up one small battlefield after another on this battlefield outside the domain, each small battlefield was protecting the far northern camp.

Under such circumstances, how could one possibly break into the far northern camp to deal with Marshal Tianpeng?
What a joke!
It would be much easier to sneak directly into Pantian and kill the Jade Emperor or Chengtian than to step into the far north camp and kill Marshal Tianpeng.

"Thor, or Thor..."

"Never mind, there's no difference."

“And Miga.”

"And Bahamut."

Marshal Tianpeng sat there, taking over the role of host, and called out names one by one.

Beyond the heavens, in the vast expanse of the four directions, he had identified all those who were in charge.

Thor, the god of thunder in the far north, or Thor—is the most warlike offspring of the tree spirit who created the world.

Then there is Mika, the vice-ruler of the kingdom of the Western Great Heaven, the most trusted guardian of the Creator.
