When heaven and earth were first formed, the Great Dao was without order.

Now, the immortals together establish the List of Deified Gods, setting the order of heaven and earth, founding the Celestial Court in the Nine Heavens, the Netherworld in the underworld, and sealing the gods of all realms.

The Daoist acolyte Brian Carter of the Purple Cloud Sect, born with little fortune, a short life, and no immortal roots, descends to the mortal world due to his single-minded pursuit of the Dao.

This book has no Hongjun, no Three Pure Ones, no Ziya, no Yang Jian, no Nezha—this is another story of the Investiture of the Gods.
