Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 260: The Conferred God is Decided, Hongjun Enters Chaos
At this time, Hongjun continued, "Haotian Yaochi, you two are the masters of the Heavenly Court. Although this slaying of generals and enshrining of gods is for the Heavenly Court, you are not allowed to participate in person."

"After all, the main battlefield of the Conferred God Tribulation is the prehistoric land. Therefore, the Heavenly Court and the Nine Netherworld should not be involved."

"Otherwise, with the involvement of the Heavenly Court and the Nine Netherworld, the Conferred God Tribulation will inevitably turn into an infinite tribulation. By then, I'm afraid the earth, fire, water, and wind will be re-created, and the world will return to chaos."

Haotian God and Yaochi Golden Mother nodded at the same time, "Master, rest assured, this disciple will definitely not interfere in the Conferred God Affairs."

Hongjun nodded and said, "Although the Heavenly Court cannot participate in the Conferred God Tribulation, the gods of the Heavenly Court are destined to kill those who commit the Tribulation."

"By then, they will have violated the laws of Heaven. We only need to send them down to the mortal world. They will then be listed as righteous gods in the Conferred God List and return to Heaven."

The Lord of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool thought they could reap the benefits, but they never expected that even the few petty criminals in their own Heavenly Palace would be killed.

Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he could only nod and say, "Master, don't worry, I will never protect anyone."

Hongjun was very satisfied, then looked at Houtu and said, "Fellow Daoist Houtu, as the spokesperson for the Underworld, you should know that the Underworld does not participate in the Conferred God Tribulation."

"So when the Conferred God Tribulation begins, I hope that Fellow Daoist Hou Tu can control the Nine Netherworld. Don't let the Nine Netherworld participate in the Conferred God Tribulation, causing the Wind God Tribulation to become an Infinite Tribulation."

Hou Tu also understood that Hongjun's main purpose in going through such a long circle was to restrict himself.

After all, the power that Heaven's participation in the Conferred God Ceremony can add to the Six Saints of Heaven is almost negligible.

However, if the Nine Netherworld participates in the Conferred God Ceremony, the power added to Qinglian Island will be extremely terrifying.

Although Hou Tu was unwilling to agree, she was very clear that the Nine Netherworld should not be involved.

After all, Hou Tu, as the spokesperson for the Underworld, could naturally sense the Underworld's will and knew that the Underworld should not be involved in this matter.

It is precisely because Hou Tu is the spokesperson for the Dao that Hong Jun calls Hou Tu "Daoyou". After all, one of them represents the Dao of Heaven, and the other represents the Dao of Earth.

Although there is a huge difference in strength, nominally speaking, there is indeed no difference in their identities, both of them are one of the spokespersons of the Six Paths.

Although Hou Tu received the will of the earth, she did not give up. At least she had to make Hong Jun afraid to act rashly.

So, Hou Tu directly said: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, although I, Hou Tu, am the spokesperson for the underground, I am also a disciple of Qinglian Island."

"Since this Conferred God Tribulation is to allow the disciples of Qinglian Island to compete with the disciples of Xuanmen, Hou Tu naturally cannot stand idly by."

"As for whether the Nine Netherworld will participate in the Conferred God Conferment, Daoist Hongjun need not worry about this. After all, if the underground tunnel does not allow it, the Nine Netherworld will naturally be closed."

Hou Tu's words showed no respect for Hongjun at all. It was clear that this was my earthly affairs, and it was not your place as the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao to interfere.

Hongjun was helpless about this. After all, as the spokesperson of Heaven, he really couldn't control the affairs of the Underworld.

So he simply said, "Since Fellow Daoist Hou Tu knows the key, there is no need for me to say anything more."

"You all should go back and make your own arrangements now. When the Conferred God Tribulation begins, you can each arrange your disciples to go to the human race to respond to the tribulation."

After finishing his words, Hongjun disappeared directly into the Purple Cloud Palace. The saints naturally stood up to see Hongjun off respectfully, and then each returned to their own dojo.

After the Six Saints of Heaven, the Six Saints of Qinglian Island, Haotian and Queen Mother of the West left, Hongjun appeared in Zixiao Palace again.

"In that case, I will have to make some arrangements. If you, the authentic saint, dare to act rashly, I will take the opportunity to replace you with an authentic spokesperson." As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun disappeared in the Zixiao Palace and went straight to the depths of chaos.

As for why Hongjun entered the depths of chaos, naturally no one knew.

……

In the blink of an eye, the Xia Dynasty's territory was passed into the hands of King Jie of Xia.

During the reign of King Jie of Xia, he was tyrannical and unjust, abused the people's power, and built large-scale construction projects, which led to the people's hardship and widespread complaints.

He also favored his alluring concubine, Mo Xi, and neglected state affairs. Countless loyal ministers and generals died at his hands, bringing the rule of Daxia to a precarious point.

Finally, the leader of the Shang Tang tribe, united with other princes, raised an army to attack King Jie of Xia. In the Battle of Mingtiao, King Jie of Xia's army was defeated, the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, and King Tang of Shang established the Shang Dynasty, ushering in a new historical period.

The Shang Dynasty learned from the lessons of the Xia Dynasty and adopted a conciliatory policy both internally and externally, which gradually strengthened the country.

But in the end, the country's system was still a feudal system, although the Shang Dynasty divided the world's eight hundred princes into four regions, each led by one of the four major princes, in order to strengthen centralization.

Little did they know that this approach did have some effect at first, but as the four great princes grew stronger, they inevitably began to harbor rebellious thoughts.

Especially by the time of Emperor Yi, three of the four great princes had already developed rebellious intentions. In order to stabilize the political situation, he had no choice but to marry his sister to Xiqi, which is known in history as Emperor Yi's marriage of his sister.

Even so, the control of the Shang Dynasty over the country had reached its lowest point. And at this time, Emperor Yi met an important person in his life.

This man, named Wenming Zhong, was a Taoist disciple and a disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. He had come down the mountain at the order of his master to assist the Great Shang Dynasty.

Upon learning the identity of the visitor, Emperor Yi regarded him as a savior and directly promoted Wen Zhong to the title of Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty, making him the head of the civil service.

Although Wen Zhong was the head of the civil officials, he often led troops to conquer the four directions, intimidating the four great princes and making them behave themselves.

Even if he had rebellious thoughts in his heart, he dared not show them on the surface. He managed to put the crumbling Shang Empire back on track.

Emperor Yi had two sons, Weizi Qi (the eldest) and Weizi Yan (the second). Although both were intelligent, they were weak in character and could not be of great use.

This inevitably made Emperor Yi worried every day, fearing that a hundred years later, his two sons would not be able to continue the Shang Dynasty.

He even begged Wen Zhong to teach him the method of prolonging life, but was rejected by Wen Zhong.

Although Wen Zhong was able to find elixirs and immortal fruits, allowing Emperor Yi to live for tens of thousands of years.

That only allows him to have such a long life, it does not mean that he can live to the end of his life.

However, Wen Zhong told Emperor Yi that he didn't need to worry about his successor because he would soon have a third son.

This son possessed the destiny of a human emperor, and he could not only continue the fortune of the Shang Dynasty, but also completely change the fate of the Shang Dynasty and make it an eternal holy dynasty.

Hearing that he would soon have a son with the destiny of a Human Emperor, Emperor Yi was extremely happy. After all, even he was only a Human King, not on the same level as a Human Emperor.
