Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 447 - 260

What Mo Shan said was very brief, yet the meaning contained within was unmistakably clear.

First, he explained the reason for the disappearance of the Immortals and Buddhas.

This was the matter that concerned everyone who came here the most.

After all, the Immortals and Buddhas disappeared too quickly, and moreover, all of them vanished without a trace, which implied something deeply frightening for them, just thinking about it.

But now, there finally was an answer.

Even if the answer was very simple, it was far better than knowing nothing at all.

As for the Great Calamity, what kind of calamity it was, no one dared to ask, nor did anyone dare to imagine.

For such a calamity to cause all the Immortals and Buddhas to form such a front, it was far beyond what they, who weren’t even Immortals, could involve themselves in.

At this moment, what truly concerned these people was what they should do next.

Each of them respectfully looked at Mo Shan, awaiting instructions from this "celestial envoy."

"The Heavenly Court is vacant, yet the order of heaven and earth still needs to be fully maintained," Mo Shan continued, "I will select some of you to temporarily assume the positions of the Divine Spirits of water, fire, thunder, and wind, to maintain the order of heaven and earth. Additionally, there are positions for the waterways of the Four Seas, the Underworld’s City Gods, and the land and mountain gods of the Mortal World, all to be temporarily filled. You will carry the Heavenly Seals, and upon the return of all Immortals, merits will be rewarded according to contributions."

Even though everyone present had somewhat prepared for this, Mo Shan’s words still caused an uproar.

After all, the implication of these words was that they were to temporarily assume the roles of Immortals and Buddhas!

Even if only temporarily, it would still allow them to enjoy the blessings of a Divine Position, and even offerings and incense from the Mortal World!

Whether for spirits, demons, or cultivators of both Immortal and Buddha paths, this was of great significance.

The benefits were numerous!

After all, the Divine Seals and Divine Authority themselves represent a kind of power on the path of cultivation.

"This matter indeed represents an Immortal Fate and opportunity for you all," Mo Shan said, observing their evident delight, but then slowly added, "However, the challenges are equally numerous. If you choose to accept a Divine Position, you must undergo comprehensive oversight for a period of time. Any violation of the heavenly order or Heavenly Court rules will result in severe punishment, even the disappearance of your path. Once you’ve considered, come to me to receive your respective Divine Seal."

As he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and several seals radiating divine light appeared before them!

These items had not been taken away.

Shen Yu, upon finding them, was somewhat astounded.

Because these items, in this world, essentially represented a manifestation of "Heavenly Dao Rules."

Hovering between innate Divine Spirits and average cultivators.

Moreover, they incorporated rules that clearly did not belong to heaven and earth itself, but to the order of Immortals and Buddhas.

It was evident that achieving this level required complete mastery over the rules of heaven and earth.

Even allowing for self-modification, supplementation, and deletion.

Compared to Shen Yu’s current realm, this was still far superior.

At this moment, these spirits and Immortal cultivators looked at each other, and eventually, someone gathered the courage to step forward.

The first to step up was the Heavenly Master from Mount Longhu.

"Your mastery of thunder magic is outstanding; you shall temporarily take the position of the Thunder Department’s Deity," Mo Shan directly handed a seal shimmering with thunder light to him.

In an instant, the sky illuminated with lightning, and an Immortal robe appeared on the Heavenly Master’s body.

His face revealed excitement and ecstasy immediately.

If he followed normal cultivation practices, he would also surely ascend to immortality, but could only start from a Junior Immortal Official position; how could he possibly qualify to become such a Thunder Department Deity?

It was simply impossible.

Even if the Immortals and Buddhas return later and reclaim the Divine Position, as long as he held the position for even a day, he could utilize the position to swiftly enhance his Taoist cultivation and power!

This was an unimaginable Immortal Fate in the past!

Without exaggeration, at this moment, the Heavenly Master’s heart even hoped that the Immortals and Buddhas would return a little later!

And now, seeing that someone actually obtained a Divine Position, others eagerly came forward as well.

Those who received Mo Shan’s invitation naturally possessed notable Taoist cultivation.

At this moment, Mo Shan followed the previous arrangements, preparing important Divine Positions for them one by one.

Primarily, as previously mentioned, to maintain the order of heaven and earth.

For instance, wind, fire, thunder, water, and the earth’s mountains.

In this Mythical World, indeed, these matters required management; otherwise, problems could easily arise.

In other All Heavens Worlds, which one doesn’t have original natural calamities and death zones?

In a world possessing Extraordinary Power, natural calamities would also become terrifyingly formidable.

If Immortal and Buddha didn’t isolate the Mortal World, it’d be one thing, but given the isolation, the Mortal World stands defenseless against such calamities.

If left unchecked, it would easily incite colossal disasters, even ones capable of annihilating entire civilization.

After some arrangements, everyone had their position.

Even the Buddhist practitioners were included.

Although generally Buddhist monks wouldn’t partake in Heavenly Court order, there were indeed many posts that involved them.

Especially within the Underworld.
