The Queen Mother of the West arrived on a phoenix chariot, her immortal form graceful.
She smiled and said, “Nuwa accepting a disciple is a grand event for the Three Realms. I have come to congratulate her today.”
Taibai Jinxing stroked his long beard and chuckled, “Heaven-Extending Saint Lord, the Jade Emperor has specially ordered me to come and congratulate you. May your future be bright and your path endless!”
Not only that, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Sun Wukong had all come!
Yang Jian nodded slightly, “Congratulations on becoming Nuwa’s disciple. Your great Dao is now attainable.”
Nezha, standing on his Wind Fire Wheels, waved and laughed. “Su Fu! Come play in the Heavenly Court when you can!”
Sun Wukong, riding the Somersault Cloud, leaned the Golden Cudgel on his shoulder and grinned. “As expected of you! Old Sun is a step too late, but it can’t be helped!”
Su Fu was awestruck and quickly thanked them one by one, staring especially at the Great Sage.
‘Wah, Great Sage!’
‘Long time no see!’
But she couldn’t be too obvious, since all the other gods were big shots in the Heavenly Court!
The Queen Mother of the West, leader of female immortals; Taibai Jinxing, the Jade Emperor’s confidant.
Yang Jian, Nezha, and the others went without saying—they were the combat ceiling of the Heavenly Court.
It seemed that Lady Nuwa’s prestige was maxed out everywhere!
Just as the Heavenly Court’s immortals left, the sky filled with Buddhist chants and golden light shone everywhere.
Su Fu: “…?”
‘More?’
Guanyin, Mahamayuri, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and other Buddhist greats appeared.
Mahamayuri (Kong Xuan) radiated the Five-Colored Divine Light, his phoenix eyes narrowed as he looked at Su Fu with a half-smile.
Su Fu: “…..”
‘Nervous.’
‘Guilty.’
In this dungeon, she had impersonated Yuan Feng, Kong Xuan’s mother.
Even though there was a real karmic connection to Yuan Feng behind her, she was still a bit flustered!
Fortunately, Kong Xuan didn’t say much. He only offered his congratulations. “Heaven-Extending Saint Lord has deep fortune and blessings. Buddhism also offers its congratulations.”
Guanyin held her Net Bottle, a compassionate smile on her face. “Excellent. Fellow Daoist Nuwa has gained such a fine disciple, which is cause for celebration. Heaven-Extending Saint Lord, cherish this fate and save all beings.”
Su Fu quickly responded politely one by one, inwardly sighing with relief.
148- All Gods Congratulate, Joy Over a Beloved Disciple
No sooner had the Buddhist deities departed than the sky changed once more.
The 365 Orthodox Gods of the Investiture of the Gods, vast and overwhelming, descended like a tidal wave covering the sky!
Led by Jiang Ziya and Bai Jian, they were followed by Wen Zhong, Jinling Shengmu, Yunxiao, and others, all present.
“Congratulations to the Heaven-Extending Saint Lord!”
Su Fu was completely stunned and quickly responded respectfully:
“Thank you, everyone!”
She never imagined that every single Orthodox God from the Investiture of the Gods would show up!
It was only at this moment that she truly realized how exalted Nuwa’s status was—the Creator Goddess, with boundless merit!
And she also finally understood what kind of status Nuwa’s disciples held.
“In a way, isn’t Nuwa publicly announcing to everyone—”
“From now on, I’m under her protection?!”
She was making it crystal clear to all that She stood behind her!
Su Fu took a deep breath, left with only one thought:
‘Nuwa—too powerful!’
Finally, the celebrations came to an end.
Everything before her dissipated in a rush, streams of divine light swirling, the lingering awe resounding, refusing to fade.
The echoes of the gods’ blessings seemed to ring in her ears, and Su Fu’s heart surged, unable to calm down for a long time.
Just then, she suddenly felt a stir.
“Huh? Yin Soldiers?”
A troop of Yin Soldiers holding swords and halberds appeared before her eyes.
Su Fu was puzzled. What was going on? She hadn’t summoned them, had she?
The leading Yin General bowed respectfully to Su Fu:
“We pay respects to the Heaven-Extending Saint Lord! By order of the Fengdu Emperor, representing the lineage of the Underworld, we have come specifically to congratulate the Saint Lord!”
Su Fu blinked, then quickly understood.
The gods who had come earlier were all closely tied to the Great Desolation dungeon, bound to it by countless connections, so they could descend easily.
Of course, that excluded top-tier powerhouses like Fuxi and the Sanqing, who could go wherever they pleased.
The Underworld lineage also had ties to the Great Desolation world, but not as deeply as the Sanqing, so they couldn’t descend directly.
But thankfully, they had a connection with her—she had Yin Soldiers—so they sent them to convey their congratulations on their behalf.
She quickly responded with gratitude: “Thank you, Yin General! Please also send my regards to the Fengdu Emperor! Thank you to all the lords of the Underworld for your blessings!”
The Yin General added: “The Fengdu Emperor said that due to the dungeon’s restrictions today, he could not attend in person, and deeply regrets it. Should the opportunity arise, he will surely celebrate on the spot!”
“Such courtesy!” Su Fu hurriedly waved her hand, but couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from turning up.
If that was the case, she was starting to look forward to the next dungeon.
After bowing, the Yin Soldiers, like the divine manifestations before them, transformed into wisps of ethereal light and dispersed.
Finally, everything returned to peace, with no new gods descending.
Su Fu’s heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. It was finally over!
The next second, the scene before her eyes pulled away, and she returned to the Shen Yan Space.
The dungeon was finally over.
Just as Su Fu returned to the Shen Yan Space, the entire StarNet was already boiling over.
Because Shen Yan had once again issued a galaxy-wide announcement:
[Tongtian Jiaozhu personally visited the Investiture of the Gods dungeon and bestowed an S-rank Divine Power upon Su Fu!]
[Yuanshi Tianzun personally visited the Investiture of the Gods dungeon and bestowed an S-rank Divine Power upon Su Fu!]
[Taishang Laojun personally visited the Investiture of the Gods dungeon and bestowed an S-rank Divine Power upon Su Fu!]
[Chinese deities Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Houtu, etc., personally visited the Investiture of the Gods dungeon and bestowed blessings upon Su Fu!]
[Queen Mother of the West, Taibai Jinxing, Yang Jian, Nezha, Sun Wukong, etc., personally visited the Investiture of the Gods dungeon and bestowed blessings upon Su Fu!]
[Guanyin Bodhisattva, Mahamayuri, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, etc., personally visited the Investiture of the Gods dungeon and bestowed blessings upon Su Fu!]
[Jiang Ziya led the 365 Orthodox Gods of the Investiture of the Gods, personally visiting the dungeon and bestowing blessings upon Su Fu!]
[The Fengdu Emperor, along with the Underworld’s Yin Soldiers, bestowed blessings upon Su Fu!]
bang bang bang
The announcements spammed endlessly, and StarNet exploded on the spot.
[Wait, what the hell?]
[Am I seeing this right? I’m still fighting tooth and nail to clear a dungeon, and Su Fu’s already got gods lining up to give her gifts and blessings?]
[It’s not like we’ve never seen a Divine Apostle get blessings from other gods before… but never like this!]
[Oh my god! How many gods are blessing Su Fu?]
[Nuwa really is the Creator Goddess, laying it on this thick?]
[It’s like every single god came to give blessings!]
[Huh? Am I the only one noticing Su Fu got three Divine Powers? I mean, forget the other gods’ blessings, did they really give gifts?]
[Your gods and my gods seem different. Forget gifts, they just handed out Divine Powers?]
[Oh, it’s just Divine Powers, right? Haha, only three, who cares… (gnashing teeth)]
[I care!!!]
[I’m breaking down! No one can cheer me up today!]
[Has anyone counted how many gods there are? The Chinese Pantheon is mind-blowing! Terrifying!]
[Over on our side, there’s at most a dozen or so major gods. What kind of concept is this for China? A system of hundreds or thousands of gods?]
[What’s the point? The point is they not only showed up, they brought gifts!]
[Did you guys notice? Nuwa’s status is way too high. That many gods lining up to congratulate her?]
[Ahem, do you think that’s all? Don’t forget, the only reason Su Fu only got three Divine Powers is because of the dungeon’s own limits!]
[In other words, the first three gods giving Divine Powers maxed out the dungeon’s carrying capacity, so the later ones only gave blessings, not Divine Powers!]
[??? Can you interpret it that way? How am I supposed to get over this!]
[Oh my god! Terrifying! If the dungeon didn’t have limits… Su Fu could’ve gotten that many Divine Powers at once?]
[I’m so jealous my eyes are red! Why?!]
[How can anyone live like this?!]
[Su Fu, can you sleep? I can’t!]
[What a life winner Su Fu is!]
[I want to be Nuwa’s disciple too. Why not me?]
[I can’t take it anymore, bros, I’m giving up… You can’t even compete with someone like this!]
[And that’s not all! Don’t think China only has these gods!]
[You have to know, the ones who could come were all strongly tied to this dungeon!]
[The dungeon is an anchor. For gods to descend, they need a “connection.” So only gods involved in this dungeon would show up!]
[And in reality, Chinese deities are way more than these. Just this one dungeon tied in this many!]
[Oh my god! Chilling to the bone! Terrifying!]
[Huh?! Even among the gods that showed up, there are plenty I’ve never seen! What about Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan…]
[Su Fu! Can you step it up! I believe this isn’t your limit!]
[Su Fu, can you still sleep? Get up and clear more dungeons so we can meet more Chinese deities!]
[Not knowing so many powerful gods will keep me up at night!]
[Su Fu, this isn’t your limit! Come on, log in!]
[I was doubting before, when Nuwa said she would grant Su Fu absolute freedom to walk this world, wondering if she had the power…]
[But now, seeing so many gods come to bless her, I know for sure Nuwa could definitely pull it off!]
[Nuwa’s pulling power is just incredible!]
[Has anyone thought of this? With Nuwa being this powerful, Su Fu can just summon any god anytime now, bros and gals!]
[I’ve thought of something even scarier. The gods who couldn’t give Divine Powers this time due to the dungeon’s limits…]
[So if Su Fu enters the next dungeon…]
[Holy crap! Could gods line up again to give Divine Powers?!]
[Chinese deities are way too generous!!!]
[I’m totally broken! I tell you, I’m totally broken!]
[Jealousy and hatred! Why does Su Fu deserve this?!]
[So what’s limiting Su Fu’s power… the dungeon’s ceiling?!]
[I declare I’m switching to the Chinese Pantheon right now!]
[I can’t live this miserable life another day!]
[Bros and gals, wait for my guide!]
[Here I come! Count me in!]
[I’m switching to the Chinese Pantheon today no matter what!]
[Ah! That makes me so jealous of the Test Takers in Su Fu’s exam hall!]
[They must have seen all these gods in person, right? Even if just replicas, they got to know them firsthand!]
Meanwhile, inside the dungeon, the Test Takers.
Honestly, they were already numb.
Anyone who saw those gods coming one after another like a flowing feast would go numb watching.
It felt like their hearts were shattered beyond repair.
[Thanks for asking. I’m numb.]
[Questioning life…]
[Can’t beat them. Simply can’t beat them!]
[Wait… can’t beat them, right? So why not join them?]
[Mindset shift! I’m ready to convert to the Chinese Pantheon!]
[Good point. Since this dungeon showed me so many Chinese deities… why not switch?]
[Plus, the Chinese Pantheon is all strong and generous. Why not?]
[Switching now! Chinese deities, strong and doting, no more waiting!]
The Test Takers in the dungeon had a collective epiphany.
[I’m switching too!]
[Count me in!]
[Chinese Pantheon, engage!]
Inside the Shen Yan Space.
Everything had finally quieted down.
Stars drifted, deep and boundless.
Chesia was still lost in the overwhelming scene of so many gods descending, silent for the first time.
Su Fu, on the other hand, was grinning uncontrollably, rubbing her hands together impatiently:
“Alright, alright, let me sort through the gains from this exam!”
“Divine Powers, artifacts, blessings… This time, I struck it rich overnight!”
“Thank you to all the great Chinese deities!”
