The reason Martial Virtue Star Lord managed to stay alive despite his shattered soul was probably because the Jade Emperor had written his name on the Investiture of the Gods list in advance.
Thus, after Martial Virtue Star Lord's death, a strand of his True Spirit remained undying. The list of Investiture of the Gods beckoned to it, and it fell into the ranks of the list, reshaping his body within it, transforming from immortal to god, and coming back to life.
Not only did he come back to life, but one could say that from now on, as long as the Investiture of the Gods list is not destroyed, then Martial Virtue Star Lord can go on living eternally, no one can kill him. He is on par with an Innate Dao Sovereign.
After realizing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel speechless. No wonder the Jade Emperor seemed so generous, giving away a magic treasure with a power comparable to that of an innate spiritual treasure. The real reason lies here.
