Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 6: Under the Great Avenue, We Are All Ants
As a soul-shaking voice reached the ears of every citizen of Da Shang.
Ming!
Kong Xuan let out a loud cry and transformed into a colorful peacock appearing in the sky above the Song City of the Shang Dynasty, gathering the national destiny of the Shang Dynasty and achieving the true body of destiny. At this moment, Kong Xuan actually used the destiny of the Shang Dynasty to kill the corpse of good again. From then on, both the corpses of good and evil were killed. Kong Xuan directly broke through to the middle stage of the standard, and this is just the beginning. The benefits to come are endless. Perhaps one day, Kong Xuan will really be able to use the destiny of the Shang Dynasty to climb to the top.
However, with this move, Kong Xuan was completely tied to the warship of the Shang Dynasty.
However, this was also Kong Xuan's choice. Under the warning of the Great Shang luck, Kong Xuan chose to obey without hesitation. Breaking through the middle stage of the Quasi-Sage, is there any need to choose? He was originally connected with the Great Shang luck, and now it is just a little deeper. What does it matter? Just go ahead.
Not only him, Kong Xuan seemed to have seen an opportunity for the Phoenix Clan to rise in Da Shang. Maybe it was possible.
Kong Xuan seemed to be thinking about something, but the people of Chaoge City cheered, "Xuanniao, the Xuanniao has appeared."
The subjects all saluted Kong Xuan. At this moment, all the luck and fortune gathered together, making Kong Xuan's determination even more determined.
Kong Xuan is the first peacock in the world. Human beings have no idea what species Kong Xuan is, but they can see that Kong Xuan can fly, and if he can fly, he is a bird. The word "Xuan" is the Chinese character of the Shang Dynasty, so Kong Xuan was named Xuanniao. Now, Kong Xuan has been given a supreme opportunity.
Emperor Xin and Kunlun both smiled when they saw Kong Xuan appear. Everything was going as planned.
The Phoenix Clan cannot resist this temptation and will definitely tie up the human warships. After the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe, in order to pay for their sins, the Phoenix Clan is forever imprisoned in the Undying Volcano, like a cage. They need to earn merits to make up for their sins, but merits are not generated for no reason, and it seems that the Phoenix Clan can only rely on suppressing the Undying Volcano to earn merits.
But this time it was different. Kong Xuan discovered that the human race actually had great merits and could help the Phoenix race offset their sins.
This is what really tempted Kong Xuan.
"Imperial Dynasty!"
Emperor Xin murmured, gathering the power of the Great Shang Dynasty and the luck of the nine states and eight hundred towns. Once the Great Shang Dynasty was established, it reached the level of an imperial dynasty.
With the foundation of the Great Shang Dynasty, it is also at the top level among the imperial dynasties.
If Emperor Xin was a Daluo Jinxian at this time, once he established the Heavenly Dynasty and accumulated foundation, it would only be a matter of time before he was promoted to the Heavenly Court.
However, this is already in line with the expectations of Emperor Xin and Kunlun, and is sufficient for use.
The Jade Seal, the Imperial Edict, the Nine Cauldrons, and the Imperial Sword, the four sacred artifacts of the dynasty, all reached a level matching the spiritual treasures under the blessing of the dynasty's luck.
With the blessing of luck, Emperor Xin's martial arts level even broke through to the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
If one gathers all the luck of the day, even the Golden Immortal can defeat him. This is the power of luck.
All the officials in the court and the eight hundred princes looked at Emperor Xin at this time, and they felt as if they could not look him in the eye.
King Ji Chang of Xibo was even more shocked and confused. He had told fortunes before and got some results. He saw a hint of the future in the fortune: the fortune of the Shang Dynasty was declining and purple air was rising in Xiqi.
But now it seems that this does not mean decline at all.
With the copper coin in his hand, he was in a mess, and the fate of the world was in chaos. Ji Chang did not dare to reveal his little thoughts at all. He did not dare to show them at all.
Although Xiqi is powerful, it is nothing compared to the Shang Dynasty.
If Emperor Xin wanted to take action against Xiqi, he wouldn't have to do anything, as he had plenty of people to help him. Not to mention anything else, Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, alone could destroy Xiqi.
No one can afford to offend the Shang Dynasty now. Emperor Xin has the momentum to destroy the Dongyi people, and now he has established the Yun Dynasty. As long as Emperor Xin does not mess around, the entire Shang Dynasty can be unbeatable.
"Now, we, the Great Shang Dynasty, have established the Great Shang Imperial Dynasty. I am the Emperor of Mankind and shall confer titles and rewards on all officials.
Kunlun Taoist priest was appointed as the national teacher, enjoying the blessing of super national fortune;
The emperor conferred Jiang as the queen, and she enjoyed the blessing of first-class national fortune;
Yin Jiao was appointed as the crown prince, enjoying the blessing of first-class national fortune;
Yin Hong was conferred the title of the second son of the emperor, a prince, and enjoyed the blessing of first-class national fortune;
Wen Zhong was appointed as the Grand Master, enjoying the first-class national fortune..."
As Emperor Xin began to confer titles, the civil and military officials found that their power was constantly increasing. They felt that as long as they held official positions, they could mobilize the power of the Shang Dynasty and perform all kinds of magical operations.
He enjoys super national fortune, his authority is only slightly weaker than that of Emperor Xin, and his strength is comparable to that of a Golden Immortal.
A first-class national destiny can be compared to a mysterious immortal.
A second-class national destiny is comparable to that of a true immortal.
…
By analogy, there are only a few people who enjoy first-class national fortune. Even the Four Marquises, Shang Rong and Bigan only enjoy the blessing of second-class national fortune.
At this time, Jiang Huanchu and other princes were already horrified enough. If they could have such power, how powerful would Emperor Xin be?
However, they did not dare to delay and quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Emperor Renzong, for the honor."
What they didn’t know was that after they accepted the title, a large amount of luck would gather together.
To be precise, there are differences between each territories. Just like the Nine Provinces are completely controlled by Emperor Xin, the destiny of the Nine Provinces is 100% controlled by Emperor Xin. However, the territories of the eight hundred princes are different. The Great Shang only collects taxes from them, which is just a nominal matter. To be precise, if the Great Shang is compared to a real dragon, then the eight hundred princes are also like dragons or snakes.
They all have the possibility of transforming into dragons.
But now they bowed to Emperor Xin, the title was set, and Emperor Xin could gain fortune from the eight hundred princes. Sometimes, in a dynasty, title is more important than anything else, and a righteous title makes sense.
Directly take 30% of the luck of the princes of the Eight Hundred Towns. Whether you can take more in the future depends on whether you can continue to increase their loyalty or completely take over their territories. On the contrary, if the luck of any prince suddenly begins to decrease and is less than 30%, it may be that this prince has rebelled.
Therefore, luck is sometimes like data, which can reveal many things.
"Stand up."
Emperor Xin felt his own power, and there was a hint of intoxication in his eyes. This was the power of Yun Dynasty, just like the power in the world of Liao Zhai. However, the Yun Dynasty he established in the world of Liao Zhai could not be compared with the current one at all. The difference was too great. At that time, it was just an empire, and the lowest level empire at that. His power was only equivalent to that of a true immortal.
Now, it’s a top dynasty, at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
And this was just the beginning. Emperor Xin looked at Kunlun. Having lived with his elder brother for a long time, he knew that even if he was a pig, his elder brother could make him a divine pig of creation, not to mention that he was above his elder brother in all aspects. This time, he must catch up with his elder brother and create a new world for him.
And at the moment when the Great Shang Dynasty was established, the aura of calamity in the entire world became increasingly dense.
It turns out that it was not the two little gods of Jiejiao who started the robbery, but the Great Shang.
The six saints all looked towards Da Shang. They never expected that Da Shang would do such a thing. It was a mess, everything was in chaos.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the Shang Dynasty, which had already reached its peak of prosperity, and then looked at the List of Gods in his hand. He actually had a sense of déjà vu: What use is there for this heavenly book?
In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun also sighed: "The catastrophe has come, the destiny has been disrupted, what can we do?"
Hongjun is the Way of Heaven. During this great catastrophe, it is the Way of Heaven that dominates Hongjun rather than Hongjun dominating the Way of Heaven. He has paved so many roads in front of him, but he can no longer interfere too much in the future. He can only exist in the name of the Way of Heaven to maintain the progress of the great catastrophe. Next, where will the great catastrophe go? Even Hongjun is not clear now.
Taiqing Laozi also had a blank expression on his face at this time, but Master Xuandu, as Taiqing Laozi's disciple, could actually feel that his master seemed to be angry.
The strong always like to control everything. They don't like people and things that are beyond their control. The previous catastrophes have always been under the control of Taiqing Laozi, but now, everything has deviated from the original track, but he needs to set things right. Everything in front of him is not what he needs, and it can't help him fulfill his ideas.
Wahuang Palace.
Nuwa was also watching all this in shock. She originally had a calamity aura around her, which had nothing to do with life or death. She was also very surprised before. She was already a saint and should be immune to all calamities, so how could there be a calamity aura around her? Later, as the calamity approached, Nuwa seemed to understand something. This was asking her to start the calamity.
Although she didn't know the correct way to open it, Nuwa didn't care.
Disaster is also fate. It is just a beginning of disaster. It can also be exchanged for some benefits. Why not do it?
But just now, this calamity energy suddenly disappeared. She shouldn't have cared about it. Everything is born and dies, it's all fate.
But then boundless calamity energy loomed over her, and she could no longer remain calm. Under the way of heaven, saints were immune to all calamities. That one calamity energy might not be a big deal, but the boundless calamity energy now was different. It might endanger her practice.
Moreover, with so much calamity coming, even her luck was affected.
Although Nuwa did not establish a religion, she carries the luck of the human and demon races. In theory, her luck is not necessarily less than any of the three religions, and may even be more. Her luck was originally stable, but now it is showing signs of decline. This is very frightening . In other words, this catastrophe will actually involve a saint?
Our eyes fell on the Shang Dynasty and on Emperor Xin. The root of all this lies with Emperor Xin. This is a variable.
However, just when they were thinking about whether to kill Emperor Xin directly, they felt a great terror coming. Only then did they remember that this was the Human Emperor, and the human race was the protagonist of heaven and earth. Now that the human race is at its peak of fortune, killing the Human Emperor is tantamount to going against the entire human race. Under the backlash of fortune, even they, the saints, might not be able to bear it, and might be directly deprived of their sainthood.
They absolutely dare not take this risk.
All of a sudden, the Six Saints looked up at the sky. Before Emperor Xin established the Yun Dynasty, he swore an oath to the Great Dao. After all, it was the Middle Thousand Worlds, and the Great Dao was very respectful. It actually appeared directly and sent down a will, forcing the Heavenly Dao not to get involved in anything. But the Great Dao came, and now that things were done, why not leave?
Below the sage, all are ants, but to the Way of Heaven, sages are also ants. Similarly, to the Great Way, the Way of Heaven is also just an ant.
The power of the Six Saints all comes from the Way of Heaven. In the past, they were the pyramid of this world, the sky.
But now, the sky was covered by a layer of dark clouds, and there was an additional threat above them, the Avenue!
The will of the Great Dao actually did not leave. It took over this catastrophe. At this moment, Nuwa and others seemed to understand why they were beset with calamity. This time, perhaps even the saints were not safe. Originally, they did not care, but the Great Dao was there, and they could not help but worry.
The saint had a gloomy expression on his face, and Haotian in heaven was not much better.
If we talk about who is the biggest threat posed by the establishment of Yun Dynasty by Da Shang, it would be none other than Tian Ting and Hao Tian. Tian Ting is actually Yun Dynasty, but it is already standing at the top of the pyramid of Yun Dynasty. According to Hao Tian's idea, he wants to control Da Shang and the human race, make the human dynasty, and make the human race a place of faith under Tian Ting.
From then on, there was no more human emperor, and the divine power was granted by heaven, only the Son of Heaven.
This was Hongjun's idea, and Haotian was also very willing to do so. After all, this would be of great benefit to the Heavenly Court. Since it was Hongjun's idea, the tone was set. No matter how much the Six Saints fought, they could only proceed within this framework. As for the destiny of the human race, in fact, a dividing line had begun to appear since the Shang Dynasty. After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, the destiny of the human race was no longer stable.
As long as they give a helping hand, they can turn the human race into their playthings. In fact, the fate of the Shang Dynasty was doomed from the very beginning.
But Emperor Xin's bold move this time really caught them off guard.
The method of luck!!
Right! How could Emperor Xin know the method of ruling the country? Who gave it to him? It is impossible that he figured it out by himself. There are variables, variables.
Haotian cursed in his heart and went to Zixiao Palace in a rage. How great was the potential of the human race? How could he not know it? If he ignored it, in time, Emperor Xin would really lead the human race to attack the Heavenly Palace, and he might even have to give up his position to Emperor Xin. Wasn't that what happened to the demon emperor Di Jun? It was because the Six Saints and Hongjun did not want to see such a threat that the great calamity of the liches and wizards occurred.
Haotian just doesn’t believe that Hongjun and the Six Saints would be willing to see the human race threaten their rule.
If the human race has its own beliefs, where do the beliefs of Xuanmen and Buddhism come from? Therefore, this has been an irreconcilable contradiction from the beginning, and Hongjun and others will definitely not ignore it.
Haotian's arms are still thin, so it is impossible for him to resist the human race.
After all, the human race is not just Emperor Xin. They certainly don't take the mere Emperor Haotian seriously, but the human race also has the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and many sages in the Huoyun Cave. If it were before, they might not move, but now it may not be the case. This must be paid attention to.
The Three Sovereigns are all just below the Six Saints, and the Five Emperors are all at the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortals.
There are also the three ancestors of the human race, the ancestor of literature, and so on.
Thinking of this, Haotian's pace quickened.
It was only when he arrived in the chaos that Haotian discovered that the Zixiao Palace had disappeared. This made Haotian even more frightened. If Hongjun wanted to see him, he would definitely not let him not even be able to see the Zixiao Palace.
It's a mess! It's all a mess!
"Master, you are confused."
Complaining in his heart, Haotian searched again, but found nothing. In the end, he could only leave in despair.
Meanwhile in Zixiao Palace, Hongjun was also somewhat distressed, looking at the will of the Great Dao. It was not that he was confused, he understood the truth, but the Great Dao was in front, what could the Heavenly Dao do? It was like in a dynasty, the prince was abusing power, but the emperor really started to intervene, what else could the prince do? Not being killed was the best thing.
"Variables!"
On Jinao Island.
Taoist Tongtian looked at Jiale in front of him and was also a little silent. "Is this all your arrangement?"
Others may not know, but how could he not know? Wen Zhong has already reported it, and Jiale also left a clone in Da Shang, and is now the national teacher of Da Shang. Others don't know where Emperor Xin got the method of ruling the dynasty, but Tongtian Taoist has some guesses. He is afraid that it must have been given by his own good disciple.
This plan probably started before he became his disciple. Even if he hadn't accepted any disciples, nothing would have changed. It's just that the positions and roles of Jiejiao and him might be different.
Jiale looked at Tongtian Taoist.
"Master, what is the difference between a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and a saint?"
Tongtian's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
“The Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is beyond the heaven and earth. Although he cannot borrow power from the world and the way of heaven and needs to practice on his own to supplement it, he is not controlled by the world and the way of heaven and has a greater future and potential.
Saints are under the Heavenly Dao, and their power is all granted by Heavenly Dao. If the world is destroyed, the saints will not exist. If Heavenly Dao is destroyed, the saints will be destroyed together. The future and potential are all determined by Heavenly Dao. If the world cannot be promoted, our future is doomed. "
Jiale nodded, which was pretty much what he thought.
"If Master were asked to choose again, would he be willing to achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian or the Sage?"
Taoist Tongtian took a deep breath and said, "Of course it is the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. The reason why we became saints was partly out of helplessness and partly because of temptation. It is true that we brought it upon ourselves, but becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is much more difficult than becoming a saint. At that time, we did not know the difference between a saint and a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. We were tempted by the saint's Dao fruit and jumped into the deep pit."
Jia Le smiled and said, "Master, if I asked you to abandon the Saintly Dao Fruit and start practicing again, would you be willing?"
Taoist Tongtian’s expression became even more solemn.
"Do you have any connections?"
Obviously, it was almost impossible in the eyes of Tongtian Taoist. After all, in Tongtian Taoist's opinion, Hongjun was probably planning this but failed. How could Jiale have any solution? But for some reason, his heart was still pounding and he had some hope.
He nodded, "Master, are you willing to believe me?"
