Shennong's relocation of the capital to Quwo seemed to be a signal.

Many people are paying attention to this change.

The Chan sect behind Xuanyuan moved.

Guangchengzi took the lead and invited the Jiejiao immortals to meet.

They wanted to understand Jiejiao's intentions.

The supporters behind Chiyou were also ready to make a move.

In their view, Shennong moved the capital eastward instead of northward in an attempt to suppress Chiyou.

In particular, the envoys who came to meet the common lord were blocked outside the new capital.

This made the Jiuli tribe even more convinced that Shennong favored Xuanyuan.

"Brother! This Shennong is clearly biased towards Xuanyuan. We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

Chi You's eighty-one brothers were filled with righteous indignation. Having fought in many battles, they were never willing to suffer humiliation.

Chi You had a pair of ferocious horns on his head, and a faint light flashed in his deep eyes. He looked far into the north, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Beside it, a huge black and white creature was crawling. It reached out and grabbed a pile of metal, opened its bloody mouth and started chewing it.

Seeing this, Feng Bo, who was standing by, clasped his fists and said, "Shennong is the common lord. He ruled the world with virtue and intimidated the world with weapons. All the gods of heaven and earth respect him.

Of the three religions , the Jie Sect strongly supports Shennong, and hundreds of its immortals have already migrated to the new capital. If we openly attack, we will lose the support of the people, not to mention whether we can defeat them.

Yu Shi Pingyi advised: "Although our clan is good at fighting, the immortals of Jiejiao are disciples of the saints and must not be underestimated.

If we conquer the common leader and lose the support of the people, Xuanyuan will definitely take this opportunity to attack Jiuli.

By then, even if the adults behind us come out, they may not be able to save the situation.

You must know that Xuanyuan is backed by the Chan Sect. Therefore, we cannot act impulsively and must temporarily avoid the limelight."

The Great Shaman Hou Qing nodded and said: "My tribe is just starting out, and Shennong has the upper hand. He is coming east with the upper hand, and we, the Jiuli, will give in.

"It's not too long, we still have this little time. Besides, Shennong's target may not be us!"

"He moved the capital eastward, if it wasn't to suppress my Jiuli, could it be that his target is still Xuanyuan?" The iron-headed guy shouted.

Hou Qing laughed and said, "Moving the capital eastward is just to deal with us? Don't forget, Quwo is close to Mount Tai!

What if the leader plans to abdicate, ascend Mount Tai, and offer sacrifices to the gods, then choose my eldest brother to go to the new capital as his successor?

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.

Even Chi You, who was looking north at the Ji River, withdrew his gaze and looked at Hou Qing with a strange expression.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Brother, I have something I need you to do."

Hou Qing's expression straightened, and he clasped his fists and said, "Brother, please speak freely!"

Chi You smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's just a small matter. Come closer and listen."

Hou Qing followed his instructions and stepped forward, listening attentively.

Soon after, twelve large flags were erected around the Jiuli tribe.

Immediately afterwards, Hou Qing solemnly led the eighty-one shamans of the Jiuli tribe to the new capital.

This time they met Shennong as they wished.

On behalf of Chi You, Hou Qing sincerely expressed his previous mistakes to the leader and said that the eighty-one tribes of Jiuli would become the best weapon for the human race in the future.

"I wonder why Chief Chiyou didn't come?"

When Shennong asked, Hou Qing calmly replied: "The clan leader has made some progress in martial arts training and is in seclusion, so he cannot come. Please forgive me, Lord."

Shennong didn't ask any more questions.

Being kind and merciful, he had no intention of pursuing the Jiuli tribe. He even entertained them well for a few days before sending Hou Qing and the others back.

However, Hou Qing and others who left Xindu did not return directly to Jiuli.

Instead, they are scattered throughout the human race.

As their footprints spread across the world, a piece of news was also widely circulated among the human race.

The common lord moved the new capital to the land of Dongyi in order to make it easier for Chiyou to succeed him after he returned to the throne.

You say you don't believe it?

Then is it true that the common leader summoned the 81 shamans of the Jiuli tribe and held a banquet for seven days and seven nights not long ago?

Three people make a tiger, Zeng Shen killed people.

Although there is no such story in this era, the principle is the same.

Even if you don't believe it at first, you will believe it after hearing what others say.

As this rumor spread widely, the voices among the human race supporting Chiyou to succeed the position of common leader inexplicably increased.

When the news reached Ji Shui, Xuanyuan didn't believe it at all.

Rumors stop at the wise.

He knew it was fake.

Shennong couldn't have done that.

But the wise men in the world are ultimately a minority, and Chi You's reputation is quite high, so many people believe it.

Even many immortals among the human race believe this rumor.

Because they found that they couldn't calculate the matter correctly.

The less accurate the calculation, the more important the matter is.

What is even more bizarre is that Shennong did not refute this rumor.

This might be true!

For a time, the power of immortals was actually leaning towards the Jiuli tribe.

…

The Jiuli tribe does not emphasize martial virtues but literary virtues.

This put the Youxiong tribe in a somewhat passive position.

"Chief, the Jiuli tribe is too treacherous. We can't just sit there and wait. We must fight back!" As the number one civil official under Xuanyuan, Cangjie volunteered. He was determined to fight this war of public opinion.

Although Xuanyuan recognized Cangjie, he did not have much confidence in this because Shennong's attitude was vague and it would be useless even if the matter was explained clearly.

But he still handed the matter over to Cangjie.

He also asked his secretary Lu Zhou to assist Cangjie.

Two people, one created writing and the other created mathematics, they can be said to be top-notch experts.

They joined forces to fight this war of public opinion and were truly confident.

The two of them learned without any instruction how to expose Chiyou's conspiracy, satirize Jiuli's brutality, boost their own morale, and spread Xuanyuan's deeds from the bottom up, hoping to gather people's hearts for Xuanyuan bit by bit.

The public opinion war between Jiuli and Youxiong was a back-and-forth battle .

But in the end, Jiuli acted early and gained huge benefits.

The gods of the ancient times were all confused. Only then did they realize that in the world of humanity, war could be fought like this?

"Master, will this really work?" As a practitioner of the Tianyan Dao, Tianlu knew very well that the earliest news was false.

In the eyes of the powerful, this kind of public opinion war is very absurd and even a little ridiculous.

Because it is actually not difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Mingyu was also a little surprised by this. She didn't expect to see a prehistoric quarrel between human mythological figures.

In response to his disciple's question, Mingyu smiled and replied , "Times have changed. This is a world of humanity. To accomplish great things, one must rely on the support of the people. If one can grasp the hearts of the people, then nothing can stop them!"

The position of the common leader of the human race was ultimately chosen by the millions of people. When people's hearts lean towards one side, even if Shennong wanted to change it, he would be powerless. Do you think it is useful or not?"

To accomplish many things, the word "convince" is crucial. Whether it is establishing credibility through words or forcing people to submit through force, both are means.

Mingyu lay in the rocking chair, looking at the unpredictable fate of humanity and smiled.

“How interesting!”

On top of Mount Tai, Fuxi looked at the three-point destiny of the human race and frowned slightly.

Ju Mang on the side seemed a little happy.

Originally, Shennong's relocation of the capital was not a good thing for Jiuli.

But Chi You's actions made him see the light.

This method of breaking the deadlock is truly inexplicable.

Ju Mang pretended to cough, then looked at Fuxi: "Now it's time for Shennong to return to his position!"

Fuxi glanced at him and then continued to look at the human world.

Ju Mang said with a smile: "The luck of the human race has begun to decline. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for Shennong.

If, in the end, the fate of the human race really tilts towards Xuanyuan and Chiyou, it is still unclear whether he can prove his position as the Emperor of the Earth!"

Fuxi said calmly: "It is his place, and no one can shake it."

Ju Mang firmly believed that Fuxi was just trying to save face and didn't want to admit defeat, so he yawned lazily and said, "Okay, then we'll just keep watching."

…

The busy immortals and gods in the Nine Heavens became even busier.

First, the formulation of the Heavenly Laws had reached the final stage, and second, they were keenly aware of the changes in human nature.

A great chaos was about to break out, and they no longer wanted to stay in heaven.

There is opportunity in the world!

…

Shennong also watched Chiyou and Xuanyuan quarreling with each other with a smile.

Chi You's response really surprised him.

"good!"

This is his evaluation of Chiyou.

Even if the other party has spread rumors about you.

But in comparison, Xuanyuan's side is not so outstanding.
