Honghuang: I am Kuiniu, and I instructed Nuwa to create humans at the beginning.

As soon as Laozi said this, Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned for a moment. After a while, he asked Laozi.

"Brother, what you mean is that we can secretly unite with Tongtian and use this opportunity to send the Western Sect disciples to the Conferred God List?"

Laozi shook his head expressionlessly, "Tongtian will not unite with us. Because the moment you wanted to put Jiejiao disciples on the list, he no longer regarded us as brothers."

After hearing what Laozi said, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but collapse on the ground, even talking to himself.

"I just want the Chan Sect to flourish and allow my disciples to avoid being included in the Conferred God List. Am I wrong to do this?"

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's expression, Laozi sighed and shook his head. He did not argue with Yuanshi Tianzun about right or wrong.

Instead, he directly said to Yuanshi Tianzun: "Since what happened before cannot be undone, there is no need to regret it anymore."

"Now what we need to do is to let Jiejiao and Xifangjiao send their disciples to each other to be on the list. And what we need to do is to reap the benefits."

"Doesn't the Western Church want Bo Yikao to establish himself as King Wen of Zhou in the Southern Capital? Then let's follow his wishes and let Ji Fa submit a letter of homage to them."

"As for Shen Gongbao, he is a man of destiny. No one can kill him before his destiny ends."

"In that case, why not use their own trick against you? Let him temporarily replace Jiang Ziya and take charge of the List of Gods and the Divine Whip."

"After all, he is just a man of destiny. Once the number of people on the Conferred God List is full, his luck will no longer exist. Then we can let Jiang Ziya send him to the list."

Hearing Laozi's arrangement, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded his head, "What a good move. This way, whether it is the bad reputation or the karma, the Western Church will bear it."

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun understood his intention, Laozi nodded with satisfaction and then spoke.

"But we can't make it too obvious. We must have the right attitude for Xiqi. The disciples of the Chan Sect must go down the mountain."

"We can even send troops to attack Sishui Pass directly, but when should we capture Sishui Pass? That depends on when Nandu can capture Sanshan Pass."

"In short, you have to remember one thing, that is, no matter what time, you must not let Bo Yikao and the Western Religion reach out to Xiqi."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother. I already know what to do. I will definitely not let you down."

"Now my elder brother's disciple Xuandu is serving as the state teacher in Chaoge City. I wonder if my elder brother can let Xuandu cooperate secretly to help Ji Fa obtain the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu and the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Laozi shook his head and said, "Don't think about it. Although Xuandu is in Chaoge now, he is also under Niu Kui's eyes."

"Besides, what difference does it make whether Ji Fa has the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hands now?"

"After all, rebellion is rebellion. If he wins, he is following the will of heaven, but if he loses, he is a traitor. Even if there are saints behind him to vouch for him, it cannot change."

After hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but sigh, "Thank you for your guidance, brother. I almost let justice trip me up and made an irreparable mistake."

After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun said goodbye to Laozi directly, then left the Bajing Palace on Shouyang Mountain and went directly back to the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun return, the Taoist Master Ran Deng, who had been waiting in Yuxu Palace, couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, can I take back the List of the Gods?"

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said, "There is no need to take back the Investiture of the Gods for the time being. The master has new arrangements..."

Afterwards, Yuanshi Tianzun explained Laozi's plan to Randeng Taoist in detail, and asked him to go to Xiqi to take charge. Randeng Taoist nodded after hearing this, and then said goodbye to Yuanshi Tianzun and went directly to Xiqi.

Although in the original prehistoric trajectory, the Taoist Master Ran Deng eventually joined the Western Religion, but now the Taoist Master Ran Deng is loyal to Yuanshi Tianzun.

It can even be said that at this time, the Taoist Master Ran Deng truly regarded the Chan Sect as his own home. Everything he did was to protect the interests of the Chan Sect.

As for the end, the Taoist Master Ran Deng became the Buddha of Buddhism. What unknown secrets were there? It is estimated that only he and Yuanshi Tianzun knew.

So at this time, the Taoist Master Ran Deng, after receiving instructions from Yuanshi Tianzun, headed all the way to Xiqi.

……

In the palace of Chaoge City, on the ninth floor.

Emperor Xin sat high on the throne and looked down at his ministers, listening to the civil and military ministers reporting to him on the development of the territories directly under the Shang Dynasty during this period.

It can be said that the current territory directly under the Great Shang Dynasty is absolutely prosperous. However, this prosperity was not obtained for no reason, but was paid for with blood.

In order to enable the human race to develop better, Emperor Xin accepted the advice of the great master Xuandu, which was to implement new policies in the territory directly under the Shang Dynasty.

The New Deal included abolishing slavery, nationalizing land, encouraging people to reclaim wasteland, and a series of other policies that benefited the people.

In terms of politics, the first thing that was implemented was the separation of military and political power. At the passes directly under the Shang Dynasty, the generals were no longer in charge of the power, but governors were appointed to be in charge of government affairs.

He also implemented the county system to strengthen the central power, which allowed Emperor Xin to control the territories directly under the Shang Dynasty to an unprecedented level.

At the same time, Emperor Xin also sent human monks to search for crops suitable for human cultivation in the wild, and began to promote them vigorously.

Of course, the content and ideas of these new policies did not come from the Xuandu Grand Master. It was Niu Kui who made Emperor Xin aware of them through the Xuandu Grand Master.

The purpose of Niu Kui's doing this is to make the reputation of Master Xuandu reach an unprecedented height among the human race.

Even when humanity truly awakens, what Master Xuandu has done will be the greatest contribution to humanity, and he will surely gain enormous merit for humanity.

Although these ideas came from Niu Kui, the real executors were the Great Master Xuandu and Emperor Xin.

Every time a new policy was implemented, it was accompanied by a bloody storm. The resistance of slave owners and nobles caused great trouble to the implementation of the new policy.

But in the end, under the iron fist of Emperor Xin, it was forced to be implemented. Of course, the process was also full of killings.

As for the slave owners and nobles, Emperor Xin either confiscated their property and exterminated their clans, or relocated their entire clans and fled to other princes for refuge.

By doing this, Emperor Xin naturally ensured that the people in the territories directly under the Shang Dynasty lived a life without worries about food and clothing.

At the same time, Emperor Xin became a tyrant in the eyes of the nobles and slave owners, providing an excuse for the various princes to rebel.

But Emperor Xin didn't care about it at all. After all, the great catastrophe of the Conferred God had already begun, and those princes were destined to rebel. (End of this chapter)
