Chapter 820 - 809: Cao Mengde Ascends to Godhood
Let us not speak of Yhiuu Ji’s matter for now.
Time flows back to when Zhen Mi and Cai Wenji were conversing.
From that day on.
Ding Ling almost secluded himself in the Jasper Pool area of the Celestial Court without venturing out.
If anything needed handling, naturally Zhao Zilong, Tian Feng, Jushou, and others took care of it.
His only appearance was on the day the Dragon Ladder connected the Late Qin and Late Sui Worlds.
Cao Mengde brought many people onto the Immortal Path, arriving at the Celestial Court on a Dragon Boat.
Among these people were Li Dian, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, Xuu Chu, Cao Mengde, and others.
Their martial powers and other attributes met the standards.
Moreover, they held remarkable status in the Lower Realm.
Ding Ling personally came forward to ennoble them as deities.
Cao Mengde’s wishes were fulfilled, and he was overwhelmed with joy, grateful beyond words to Ding Ling!
Dian Wei, Xuu Chu, and others also knelt in thanks.
At this moment.
Ding Ling became their true ’superior’!
He was their ’Your Majesty’!
Even Cao Mengde, the Human Emperor, had to call Ding Ling Your Majesty; naturally, Xuu Chu, Dian Wei, and others would not foolishly refrain from calling Ding Ling Your Majesty.
Thus, they ’inexplicably’ switched lords!
Dian Wei, Xuu Chu, and many others who were loyal to Cao Mengde were somewhat baffled!
But having become deities, achieving immortality, and seeing the fervor Cao Mengde had towards Ding Ling, they could only accept this reality!
After the Divine Enthronement.
Ding Ling returned to Jasper Pool to continue training with Diao Chan and the others.
Meanwhile, Cao Mengde became Marshal Tianpeng, in charge of the Celestial River Navy, with the Divine Paper hidden in his Sea of Consciousness, immortal, living as long as heaven and earth. He eagerly went to handle his affairs like a new official full of enthusiasm.
He went toward the Celestial River laughing, his joy and excitement visible to all.
Though Xuu Chu muttered, wasn’t the title of Marshal Tianpeng belonging to Zhu Bajie?
Cao Mengde cared little; on the contrary, he thought the position of Marshal Tianpeng was very fitting. In his words, arriving at the Celestial Court late and obtaining such a high position was unexpected, and he was grateful to Ding Ling beyond measure.
How could he possibly reject a position like Marshal Tianpeng from a literary novel?
As for how Xuu Chu knew "Journey to the West," it was naturally due to the proliferation of ’copycat’ Aliens.
"Splash!"
Cao Mengde fell into the Celestial River.
Because he was in charge of the Celestial River, the Divine Paper granted him considerable control over it. And with the increase in cultivation, this control would only grow stronger.
Thus, when he stepped into the Celestial River, he was unharmed.
In the Celestial River, now after a year or two of development, there were quite a few Celestial Soldiers and Generals.
Among these Celestial Soldiers and Generals, there were players and natives.
Seeing an additional leader.
They were greatly astonished.
And when they saw that Marshal Tianpeng was indeed Cao Mengde.
Players and natives were incredulous:
"Has Your Majesty become Marshal Tianpeng?!"
"Why are you still calling him Your Majesty?! Do you want to die?! The true Majesty is none other than the Jade Emperor, high on the Lingxiao Palace! An Emperor in the mortal world, at most, is a Human Emperor!"
"Hehehe, yes, yes, yes. Who would have thought Cao Mengde, a Human Emperor, would come to the Celestial Court and work alongside us."
"How can these be the same? They are deities, immortal. We are just Celestial Soldiers and Generals, though protected by rules, it’s difficult to live as long as heaven and earth. The treatment is completely different!"
...
Players and natives, amidst their astonishment, also wore faces filled with envy and jealousy!
They had arrived earlier than Cao Mengde.
Yet did not receive the treatment of Divine Enthronement!!
Cao Mengde observed all this, growing more complacent, happy, and excited, lifting his appreciation and admiration for Ding Ling to an extreme!
Several years ago.
Before Ding Ling’s ascension, Cao Mengde had been very wary and uncomfortable with Ding Ling.
Now that Ding Ling had become the Jade Emperor.
He had become Ding Ling’s subordinate.
Instead, he felt much more at ease and comfortable! With no pressure at all!
Especially since he had realized his heart’s desire, his sense of pleasure and satisfaction was soaring!
"Throughout history, how many Great Emperors could not achieve immortality, yet I, Cao Mengde, have achieved it!"
Cao Mengde knew all this was thanks to Ding Ling.
Hence, he resolved to perform his duties well, not wanting to betray Ding Ling’s trust in him.
...
Time flowed by gently, like water.
Huang Yueying also followed her father onto the Immortal Path into the Immortal Realm.
She longed to see Ding Ling, but now that Ding Ling was lofty and unreachable, she felt powerless, and even her father could hardly help her.
She looked up at the faintly visible palace community on Cloud Peak, secretly determined: I must strive to ride the Dragon Boat and ascend to the Celestial Court!
The cultivation environment in the Immortal Realm was a hundred times better than that in the Lower Realm!
After a few years of cultivation here, more and more people were meeting the standard and entering the Celestial Court to become Celestial Soldiers and Generals.
Huang Yueying was confident that she too would eventually meet the standard and become a Female Immortal in the Celestial Court!
Only by constantly striving.
𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Would she draw closer to Ding Ling!
Huang Chengyan saw all this, smiling bitterly, knowing he couldn’t stop the intelligent and highly capable Huang Yueying from a young age!
Knowing he couldn’t stop her, he chose to help her!
He also hoped that one day Huang Yueying would truly become a Goddess in the Celestial Court, allowing Huang Yueying to also achieve immortality.
The matter of Cao Mengde, Cao Ang, Cao Chong, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, and others being ennobled and achieving immortality had already spread throughout Jiuzhou in the Lower Realm.
The number of envious and jealous people was countless!
All were sighing that the Cao Family had such good fortune, encountering a figure like Ding Ling!
Becoming a Human Emperor was due to Ding Ling’s support.
Becoming an immortal deity of the Celestial Court was also thanks to Ding Ling’s assistance!
And with all this.
Cao Mengde and the others naturally also understood. To avoid any gossip, they became increasingly diligent in their work, increasingly loyal, and never negligent in their duties!
On this day.
Diao Chan, Du Qingcheng, Da and Xiao Qiao, Zhen Jiang, Cai Wenji, and others successively reached the Shattered Realm with Ding Ling’s help.
Cai Wenji was the last to reach the Shattered Realm.
Seeing that they all met the standards.
Ding Ling decided to leave this world.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed Diao Chan and transferred the power of Divine Enthronement to Diao Chan.
How was the transfer done?
The Celestial Heart Mark could not be conferred.
Ding Ling took the Divine Paper from his Sea of Consciousness and placed it into Diao Chan’s Sea of Consciousness.
At that moment.
Diao Chan simultaneously held the responsibilities of the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor.
She naturally also gained the ability to bestow low-level divinities.
Appointing Earth Gods, Mountain Gods, ordinary Immortal Fairies of the Celestial Court posed no issues for her.
After this matter was declared in the Lingxiao Palace.
Ding Ling, amidst the reluctance of Diao Chan and others, took one step and arrived at the Celestial Ladder in the Lower Realm.
This time.
Due to the Dragon Ladder Immortal Path linking the other two Historical Planes.
He could choose among three Celestial Ladders.
Which were the Late Sui, Late Qin, and Three Kingdoms worlds.
But he did not go to the Late Sui or Late Qin.
He still chose the Three Kingdoms.
