Rewriting the Gods

On the second day after Suiren announced his accession to the throne of the Human Emperor, two streams of light streaked across the void and arrived in front of Taihao City. Looking at the human warriors in front of them, they looked at each other and said:

"Phoenix clan Kong Xuan (Dragon clan Ying Long), I have come to visit the Human Emperor. Please report to me!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, Suiren appeared on the city wall, and then stepped into the air to greet the two, smiling and saying:

"I've met two fellow Taoists!"

Seeing Suiren coming to greet them, Kong Xuan and Yinglong also smiled and bowed again, saying:
"I've met the Human Emperor!"

"I wanted to wait until I had dealt with the affairs of the clan and settled down before visiting you two, but I didn't expect you two to come to my house in person."

"Please come in quickly!"

"Your Majesty is too polite. The human race is a great race in the world. Now that you have ascended to the throne of the human king, we naturally have to come and pay our respects to you."

As he spoke, Kong Xuan took out a jade gourd and handed it to Suiren, saying, "This is the immortal divine fire bred in the Immortal Volcano of my Phoenix Clan. Although it is not as mysterious as your fire, it is also rare. It takes ten thousand Hui Yuan Fangs to breed one. This is just the right gift for you to congratulate me on my ascension to the throne of the Human Emperor."

"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan is too polite."

“Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Kong Xuan!”

Yinglong at the side also took out a jade bottle and said, "This is the weak water transformed by my innate magical power. Even goose feathers cannot float on it, and immortals and gods cannot cross it. It can corrode the three flowers on the top of the head and the Hunyuan immortal body, which is not bad."

"Today, I would like to use this lake of weak water to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne of the Human Emperor!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yinglong!"

Suiren thanked them again and then invited the two of them into Taihao City.

In the main hall, three people took their seats as host and guest, and the waiter brought them the innate spiritual tea produced in the human race’s blessed land of Wuyi Mountain.

The three of them drank a few cups of tea, and after taking turns, Kong Xuan put down the cup in his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, we are here today to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne and to discuss our past agreement with you."

"At the beginning, my three tribes signed an alliance together. The Black Dragon and the Black Bird became the sacred beasts of Cheng Tang. Daoist friend Yinglong and I have also stayed in the human world for tens of thousands of years without leaving even a step."

"Now that your majesty has ascended the throne and is ruling the world, the Shang Dynasty will naturally cease to exist."

"I wonder if the alliance between our three tribes in the past will be abolished, or..."

Upon hearing this, Suiren put down the teacup in his hand and said hesitantly:

"I'm afraid we need to renegotiate this covenant."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Xuan and Ying Long became anxious. Although Kong Xuan said it was invalid, if the two really wanted to invalidate it, they would not have made this trip.

The dragon and phoenix clans are burdened with karma, and without sufficient luck and fortune to protect them, even their survival is a problem.

With the recent alliance with the human race and becoming their allies, the two races have been nourished by the human race's fortune. Although they are still a long way from breaking free from the shackles of karma, they have stabilized the current situation and prevented it from deteriorating.

Neither of the two tribes wants to give up such a stable source of luck, especially the Phoenix tribe. After all, the Dragon tribe still suppresses the Four Sea Eyes and has merits. They may not be able to become powerful, but they will definitely not perish.

But the Phoenix clan has nothing. If they lose the nourishment of the human race's luck, the situation will probably continue to deteriorate.

However, before the two could speak, Suiren spoke again:

"It's not that our human race is unwilling to form an alliance with the two races. To be honest, what our human race lacks the least is luck."

"In front of you two fellow Taoists, I won't beat around the bush. My human race's luck only serves to protect me. The rest is not very useful. Sharing a small portion of it won't have any impact."

"If we can form an alliance with the two tribes in this way, it will be a good thing for our three tribes."

"Unfortunately, our clan's ancestor Haofeng discussed the matter of conferring the gods with the saints a few days ago and decided on a new battle for conferring the gods."

"Right now, my human race, Jiejiao, and the Empress Nuwa Palace have re-formed an alliance and are preparing to fight against Chanjiao, the Western Sect, and the Heavenly Court. This is a serious matter, and I am not confident that the Human King will lead all the forces, so I have to go out myself."

"We humans do want to continue the alliance with the two races, but we are afraid of dragging the two races into the vortex of the Conferred God War."

"Whether this alliance continues or not depends entirely on the two of you. Our human race is fine with it. If you two want to continue, then we can continue. If you two don't want to continue, then the alliance will end here!"

As soon as Suiren finished speaking, Kong Xuan and Yinglong frowned. This matter actually involved saints, and five of them were saints of the Heavenly Dao, as well as the human race's strange man from the Three Realms who was comparable to a saint. This meant that six saints were involved.

In addition, they were in the midst of a catastrophe. Ordinary immortals would be in danger of falling if they were not careful, and the clan was in danger of being overthrown. This was a serious matter, and even though both of them were elders of the clan and great monks at the peak of the quasi-saint level, they did not dare to jump to conclusions.

After a moment's silence, Kong Xuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is a serious matter. I am afraid I cannot make the decision alone. I need to return to the Undying Volcano to discuss it with my tribe."

Yinglong at the side also said: "I also need to go back to the tribe to discuss it."

"No hurry. This matter is of great importance. Please think about it carefully and make a decision after you have considered it clearly."

"it is good!"

A moment later, the two left Taihao City with heavy hearts.

The moment the two left, Jiang Haofeng appeared quietly beside Suiren. Suiren, who was standing by, was not surprised to see him and asked, "Haofeng, do you think they will agree?"

"Of course!" Jiang Haofeng nodded without any hesitation.

Suiren, who was standing by, was startled when he heard this and asked curiously:
“How come you see?”

"The Heavenly Court is competing with us for the luck of our clan, and we may not win. In the vortex of the battle between the six saint-level forces, it is best to withdraw from it rather than directly get involved."

"When the time comes, whoever wins the investment will survive, both the Dragon and Phoenix tribes will survive. Compared to the remaining resources of the two tribes, the luck needed to support the two tribes is nothing. There are many people willing to support the two tribes."

Jiang Haofeng nodded and said, "That's true, but this will at most keep the two tribes in their current state, but the two tribes are clearly not satisfied with the current state."

"Compared to a brighter possibility, investing only a portion of our strength is worth the risk for both races!"

"After all, for the two tribes, providing limited support, even if the bet is wrong, the remaining strength is enough for the two tribes to continue to exist."

"That makes sense, but I don't know how the two tribes will choose."

"We'll know in a few days."

······
Seven days later, more than ten thousand princes of the human race gathered in Taihao City. Before the high platform where the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ascended to heaven, more than ten thousand princes stood quietly, just like when Xia Qi had conferred titles on the princes.

The eight hundred princes in Chixian Shenzhou and the former human king Di Xin stood in front of the crowd. There was still a decadent look in Di Xin's eyes, and it was obvious that he still hadn't recovered from the previous changes.

After all, he was the ruler of the Shang Dynasty and the common ruler of the world. He had loyal ministers in the court, abundant finances, elite soldiers, and eight hundred princes who were submissive to him. It was a perfect scene of prosperity, and he was the king who had the final say in that prosperous era.

As a result, with just one sentence, he went from being a powerful king to a puppet king trapped in the palace. The gap was huge.

Suiren could understand the reluctance in Emperor Xin's heart, but that was all. The Battle of the Gods was of great importance at the moment, and Suiren had no time to care about Emperor Xin's affairs.

If Emperor Xin could get out of this, he might be able to become the number one prince in Kyushu after the Battle of the Gods is over.

Compared with the ancient emperors who directly ruled the world, Suiren felt that the current form of enfeoffment of princes was more suitable. He simply divided up all the territories and let friendly princes lead them, and he only needed to command the ten thousand princes in front of him.

Cheng Tang also made contributions to the human race, so it was nothing for his descendants to hold the position of a prince.

Of course, if Emperor Xin can't get out, then someone else will have to take over.

After his thoughts came to an end, Suiren no longer cared about Emperor Xin. He took a step forward and appeared directly on the platform.

"Meet the Human Emperor!"

As Suiren appeared, tens of thousands of people on the scene immediately bowed and paid homage to him. However, it was obvious that everyone was used to receiving homage and had little experience in paying homage to others, so the sounds of homage were somewhat uneven.

But this does not affect everyone's respect and awe for the Human Emperor.

"No need to be polite!"

Suiren smiled and raised his hand, and tens of thousands of people were lifted up at the same time by a force.

"You are all princes of our human race who rule over a region and govern the people there."

"I asked you all to come here today mainly to tell you something."

"The human world is vast. If it is ruled by mortals, it will definitely not be able to take care of everything. If it is ruled by immortals as in ancient times, it does not conform to the current form of the Three Realms, and there is no need for it."

"I think the current feudal system is very good, so we should keep it unchanged. You will still be the rulers of the world, and your territory will not change."

"I won't interfere with your behavior, but I will watch you. If you continue to behave in a way that is unworthy of the people of the world and the princes, I will arrest you with the order of the Emperor!"

"In addition, I have discussed with the elders of the tribe and designated the human race rules. There are a total of twelve rules to regulate the human race in the world. From today on, they will be enforced immediately. If anyone violates them, they will die or their souls will be destroyed."

"Each of your vassal states has its own laws, but the rules of the human race are above all else. If there are any unreasonable points, you can go back and revise your own codes."

As he spoke, Suiren waved his hand, and thousands of streams of light broke through the air and fell into the hands of everyone. It was actually a scroll of bamboo slips, which recorded the twelve clan returns.

Everyone did not delay and started reading it word by word. After a moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. It seemed to have a lot of rules, but it was actually quite strict.

It mainly stipulates the supreme power of the human race, grants the human emperor the power to rule over the immortals and mortals of the human race, and at the same time regulates the powers and obligations of the human race's elders, supreme elders, elders, and princes.

In addition to these, there are some restrictions, but most of these restrictions are aimed at immortals, and the few that are aimed at mortals are also very relaxed.

For example, things like not killing innocent people indiscriminately are things that normal people stay away from.

After everyone finished reading the clan rules, Suiren immediately asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

No one spoke, mainly because there was nothing to ask. The clan rules were not many, only twelve, but they were very clear. There was even a separate rule about the princes in the world, which clearly stated both their rights and obligations.

To put it simply, it means to designate one's own vassal states in accordance with the requirements of the human race's clan rules and obey the orders of the Human Emperor.

It’s that simple, it has been explained very clearly, so there is naturally no need to ask further.

"In that case, let's follow the clan rules."

At the same time, in Zhonghuang Mountain, Zhisheng took out a new scroll of bamboo slips, in which Suiren ascended the throne as the Emperor of Man and promulgated clan rules. The human race entered a new stage.

As for whether this stage is good or bad, we can only wait and see how it develops in the future. (End of this chapter)
