Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 277 Emperor Xin's Accession to the Throne and the Borrowing of the Kongtong Seal

Immediately, Zhunti began to use his supernatural powers to connect with Yuanshi.

A full half hour passed before Zhunti's mind returned to the West.

Jieyin hurriedly asked, "What did the Primordial Lord say?"

"Although I haven't agreed yet, I'm absolutely certain."

Zhunti's face was full of confidence.

Time flies, and another hundred years have passed.

Jiang Ziya was in the Chan Sect, and Shen Gongbao was in the Western Sect. They absorbed the essence of both sects without restraint, and the natural treasures and spiritual essences of heaven and earth were inexhaustible.

Shen Gongbao's cultivation improved rapidly, while Jiang Ziya, on the other hand, had mediocre talent, poor aptitude, and only average cultivation performance.

The land of humanity was destroyed when the last emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Jie, was overthrown due to his tyranny and injustice, which angered the people.

In the ancestral land of humanity, many of the ancestors of humanity united and issued a decree that no human emperor was allowed to cultivate.

Later, a black bird appeared in the sky, descended and gave birth to the Shang dynasty. From then on, a long time has passed since Cheng Tang took control of the country.

The current emperor is named Emperor Yi, but unfortunately, he is unable to cultivate. Even with the supreme human fortune bestowed upon him, rare and precious treasures are of little use.

However, it was extremely difficult for any of the later emperors of the Shang Dynasty to live past one hundred years old.

Emperor Yi was already terminally ill and on his deathbed.

Emperor Yi had three sons: the eldest son was Wei Zi Qi, the second son was Wei Zi Yan, and the third son was Emperor Xin.

Among them, Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan were born out of wedlock, while Emperor Xin was born out of wedlock.

On his deathbed, Emperor Yi summoned all three of his sons to the palace and ultimately passed the throne to Emperor Xin.

Di Xin was exceptionally gifted, quick-witted, and exceptionally brave, possessing the power to pull nine oxen backwards and the strength to move beams and pillars.

At the same time as passing the throne, Emperor Yi also appointed four regents for Emperor Xin.

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong!

Prime Minister Bi Gan!

Dr. Mei Bo!

King Wu Cheng, Huang Feihu!

A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Emperor Xin observed seven days of mourning before formally ascending the throne in the Longde Hall.

After Emperor Xin ascended the throne, the Shang Dynasty remained unchanged, but in the vast wilderness, the malevolent energy suddenly surged.

The raging tide, obscuring the sky and rolling in, made the saints even more solemn, even doubtful.

The current scale of the malevolent energy is comparable to that of the Lich Wars of yesteryear!

But what was the scale of the great calamity of the Lich Kingdom back then? The Demon Emperor lineage and the Ancestral Witch lineage vied for supremacy over the world!

The mere Investiture of the Gods only had a maximum of 365 disciples on the list. How could it possibly compare to the Great War between the Lich King and the Demon King?

The Primordial Beginning of Kunlun Mountain, the Cundi and Jieyin of Mount Sumeru all felt a pressure in the darkness!

They could only do their best to cultivate Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, hoping that the two of them could bring some benefits to their own lineage when they conferred titles upon the gods in the past.

Emei Mountain, Luofu Cave, Chen Jiugong, Yao Shaosi rushed over to report.

"Teacher, Emperor Yi has already passed away, and the Emperor Xin you mentioned has succeeded him!"

The gate slowly opened, and Zhao Gongming walked out, his face showing a complex expression.

Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao have taken their positions. Now that Di Xin has ascended the throne, it is time for his Jie Sect to take action!

After instructing Liu Er, Chen Jiugong, Yao Shaosi, and others to guard the gate.

Zhao Gongming then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the ancestral land of the human race.

Upon arriving at the shores of the East China Sea, the ancestral home of the human race, Zhao Gongming easily saw the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as three ancient ancestors of the human race: Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi.

After exchanging pleasantries, Suirenshi got straight to the point, "The Holy Master has come to the human race; he must have something important to tell us."

Zhao Gongming nodded, pointed to the churning and roaring evil energy in the heavens, and said earnestly, "You should all be aware of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, right?"

"I have heard of the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods."

The patriarchs of the human race nodded in agreement. Although the human race did not participate in the discussion of the Investiture of the Gods among the saints in Zixiao Palace, the human race had a good relationship with the Jie Sect and naturally heard some information.

Seeing that all the human ancestors already knew, Zhao Gongming stopped wasting words and spoke directly.

"In the Lingxiao Palace of the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian had no one to rely on. The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were destined for a killing calamity. In addition, the human race was now very powerful. Therefore, the Dao Ancestor personally devised the Investiture of the Gods calamity."

"This great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has two aspects. First, it is to appoint 365 righteous gods to serve in heaven. Second, the sages are plotting to take advantage of the approaching fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty to transform the Human Emperor into the Son of Heaven, while at the same time spreading their own lineage among the human race and extracting the power of faith."

Before Zhao Gongming could finish speaking, Emperor Xuanyuan slammed his fist on the table.

"These sages have far too ambitious a appetite, actually setting their sights on our human race!"

"The fate of our human race should be in our own hands. The saints may try to turn us into puppets for their own merit, but they can forget about it. We'll just have to fight them!"

Emperor Yu also spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with determination, from the day the human race was born.

Humanity is striving for self-improvement; to turn them into puppets in the hands of saints would be even more painful than killing them.

Suirenshi remained silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "The Holy Master must have a plan for this trip, right? May I ask, Holy Master, what do you need us old folks to do?"

"It's very simple, you just need to give me the Kongtong Seal to use."

After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors returned to their thrones, the human race prospered. Zhao Gongming had no interest in carrying the Kongtong Seal with him, but instead entrusted it to Suirenshi for safekeeping, placing it in the ancestral land of the human race to guard the destiny of humanity.

Upon hearing that Zhao Gongming intended to use the supreme human seal, the Kongtong Seal, Suirenshi did not hesitate for a moment. He flipped his hand, and the Kongtong Seal appeared directly in his hand, which he then handed to Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming took the Kongtong Seal and nodded seriously. "The Jie Sect and the human race are now an inseparable entity, where one prospers and the other suffers. I will do my best to help the human race."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Holy Master."

After leaving the human race, Zhao Gongming did not return to Mount Emei, but went directly to Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. Upon arriving in Chaoge, he immediately revealed his identity as an immortal of the Jie Sect.

He met Di Xin without much effort and took him as his disciple.

In the Longde Hall, the tall and strong-looking Emperor Xin solemnly bowed to Zhao Gongming and became his disciple.

After the ceremony, Di Xin officially became Zhao Gongming's disciple.

Zhao Gongming glanced at Di Xin indifferently, noticing his tall stature, muscular build, resolute facial features, and imposing presence, and nodded in satisfaction.

In the original timeline, Emperor Xin reigned for seven years. He was a man of great talent and ambition, valued agriculture and sericulture, appointed virtuous and capable officials, enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests, and the country was prosperous and peaceful. He expanded the territory, and the country was at its peak. The surrounding barbarians paid homage, and all directions submitted to him, allowing the Shang Dynasty, which had been declining during the reign of Emperor Yi, to regain its vitality.

From this point of view alone, Emperor Xin was definitely a good ruler, but all of this ended on the 14th day of the third month of the seventh year of his reign.

On the 14th day of the third month of the seventh year of Emperor Xin's reign, Emperor Xin led all the civil and military officials of Chaoge City to the Nuwa Palace to offer incense. When he saw the jade statue of Nuwa, he actually wrote a lewd poem, which angered the Holy Mother Nuwa.

From then on, Emperor Xin's temperament changed drastically. He killed his wife, abandoned and killed his son, persecuted loyal ministers, and enslaved the people. He was truly wicked.

Within just a few decades, the Shang dynasty was destroyed.

Zhao Gongming was certain that someone was behind this.

Otherwise, given Di Xin's performance in the seven years after his ascension to the throne, the world would never have fallen into the hands of Xiqi.
