Investiture Of The Gods
Adapted from Fengshengyanyi, the founding book of many Eastern Fantasy Novels published here.
In an era shadowed by the corruption of the Shang Dynasty, a lone figure stands against the tide of tyranny. Jiang Ziya, once a simple fisherman, now a disciple of the great sage Yuanshi Tianzun, is destined to change the course of history. Betrayed by fate and burdened with an impossible mission, he is thrust into the heart of a celestial war that transcends realms.
“Destiny cannot bind me, for I wield the will to defy the heavens.”
As the corrupt King Zhou, swayed by the enchanting yet malevolent Daji, plunges the kingdom into chaos, the celestial realm watches in dismay. The gods and immortals, bound by ancient laws, cannot directly intervene. Yet, the tides of destiny shift with the emergence of Jiang Ziya, chosen to lead an army of mortals and immortals alike.
Armed with a divine list bestowed by the heavens, Jiang must enlist legendary heroes and demigods, each with their own unique powers and tragic fates. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to overthrow the tyrant king and restore balance to the world.
But in this realm where gods meddle and demons lurk, Jiang Ziya finds that the greatest battles are often within. As he confronts his own demons and the burden of his destiny, he must navigate a world where the lines between right and wrong blur, and where every victory comes with a price.
In this epic tale of gods and heroes, destiny and defiance, Jiang Ziya's journey transcends mere mortal struggles, venturing into the heart of what it means to be a hero in a world governed by gods and shaped by magic.
