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

Chapter 299 Breakthrough in Chaos in the Thirteenth Year of Emperor Xin

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Daji finally accepted the situation.

Although her brother Boyi Kao is good, she still has to think about the whole of Ji Province.

If she disobeys the king's orders, it will bring great disaster to Ji Province, which she cannot afford.

In her boudoir, Daji slowly finished dressing and dressing, and then, accompanied by Su Hu, Su Hu's wife, Su Quanzhong, and Su Quanxiao, she slowly boarded the imperial carriage that Huang Feihu and Shang Rong had prepared in advance.

From the day the royal decree was issued, Daji was no longer the only daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou, but an imperial concubine!

Watching Huang Tianhua and Shang Rong escort the imperial carriage away, Su Hu exhaled a breath of stale air, and his mood was not as bad as he had imagined.

What happened in the Longde Hall is quite clear: the king first issued the Edict of Grace, and then ordered Daji to enter the palace, clearly preparing to take action against the feudal lords.

Among the feudal lords, Xiqi was the most powerful, so this time they directly targeted Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo.

"His Majesty is a man of great talent and ambition, and with the addition of a cunning strategy like the Edict of Grace, he may truly be able to eliminate the threat posed by the feudal lords. In that case, my Ji Province will naturally be ours."

Su Hu pondered for a long time, and decided to wait and see.

Let's first look at the impact of this "Decree of Grace" after it spread to the east, west, south, and north.

Half a month later, the decree of grace spread to every corner of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Almost all the illegitimate sons of the eight hundred feudal lords went mad.

According to the original inheritance system, they could only receive a share of the wealth and a portion of the riches.

But now, they can also share in their father's legacy. They will inherit their father's business and enjoy endless wealth and honor. What a great favor this is from Your Majesty!

The illegitimate sons were happy, but the feudal lords were all sullen.

Of course, one loves one's own son, but the matter of the family business is of utmost importance, as it concerns the issue of succession, and there is only one share.

If it were divided into several or even a dozen parts at once, wouldn't such a vast enterprise crumble in an instant?

Of all these feudal lords, Ji Chang was the most troubled because he had too many sons, more than a hundred in total.

If Xiqi were divided into one hundred parts, not to mention the rebellious Shang Dynasty, even the lower-ranking vassal states would be no match for it.

On the other hand, Su Daji had a smooth journey and entered the palace successfully, where she was named Consort Su by Emperor Xin.

Even Jizhou received an extraordinary reward from Emperor Xin, with a large amount of taxes exempted.

At the same time, a certain amount of white sugar, salt, and white paper can be purchased from large merchants at low prices each year.

This made Su Hu extremely happy, as these three items alone could save him a large sum of money in Ji Province every year.

If white paper, white sugar, and salt are already so mysterious, then what great function does the legendary curved plow have?

Su Hu felt a chill run down his spine upon thinking about it. He had heard that the curved plow could greatly save manpower when used to cultivate the land.

The Shang Dynasty's grain reserves are now unmatched by any other feudal lord in the land, and in this era, having grain means having the power to control everything.

Time flies, and it is now the thirteenth year of Emperor Xin's reign. In these three years...

As expected, Daji fulfilled her mission of ensuring the continuation of the Shang dynasty's ancestral temples, giving birth to a boy and a daughter in the same year—two children in three years, demonstrating the extent of Emperor Xin's favor towards her.

Under the rule of Emperor Xin, the Shang Dynasty flourished, its national strength increased, and its people lived in peace and prosperity, gradually ushering in a golden age.

Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, one fishing and the other selling fish, were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

In the Jade Void Palace of the Kunlun Holy Land, Yuanshi's expression was solemn!

The evil energy spreading across the Nine Heavens and the Wilderness has grown even larger!

But the real calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has only just begun.

It's hard to imagine how strong the tribulation energy spreading in mid-air would be when the Investiture of the Gods tribulation reached its peak.

Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in the sacred land of Sumeru, Zhunti and Jieyin's faces shone with excitement. The great calamity was finally about to begin.

After so many years of poverty in the West, it has finally seized an opportunity to prosper.

If they are right, after the Investiture of the Gods, it will be the era of the West.

As for the Jie Sect, even if ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, and it flourished for a time, with the number of disciples and the highest cultivation among the three sects, so what?

After the Investiture of the Gods, the name of the Intercepting Sect will no longer exist in the world.

On the shores of the East China Sea, on Jin'ao Island, in the Biyou Palace, Tongtian, still dressed in a blue Taoist robe, stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching the surging tribulation energy above the nine heavens. His expression was extremely calm; he had long been prepared for the confrontation between the Chan and Western sects.

At that moment, in the Great Shang territory, high in the heavens, the surging evil energy transformed into a phantom phoenix, which then cried out three times above Xiqi.

After three cries, the phoenix phantom dissipated, turning into countless points of light that scattered across the sky.

Although the sound of the wind was not loud, it had a very strong penetrating power.

From the highest heavens to the deepest depths of the netherworld, the sound clearly reached everyone's ears.

At the same time, the saints in the Eight Views Palace of Shouyang Mountain, the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Western Paradise, the Golden Turtle Island of the East Sea, and the Tai Su Heaven all focused their eyes on each other.

"The phoenix sings in Qishan, the true master of destiny resides in Xiqi."

"Nanji, go quickly and tell Jiang Ziya to go to Xiqi to assist the True Lord of Destiny. The sooner the better."

"Yes, teacher."

The Old Man of the South Pole nodded and flew directly towards the Great Shang Dynasty.

"The calamity is manifesting, and the true master of destiny has appeared. Junior brother, immediately inform Gongbao and have him go to Xiqi to assist the master of Xiqi."

"Yes, senior brother."

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhunti broke through the void and flew towards the Great Shang Dynasty.

On the edge of the Wei River in the Great Shang Dynasty, the Antarctic Immortal and Zhunti arrived one after the other and informed Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao that the True Lord of Destiny had appeared.

He told them to go to Xiqi immediately and assist the true master of destiny.

Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao had no objection to this. After making some preparations, they set off directly for Xiqi.

Meanwhile, in Luofu Cave on Mount Emei, Zhao Gongming looked at the churning evil energy above the heavens, a slight smile playing on his lips.

As the calamity of heaven and earth intensified, the Chan Sect sent Jiang Ziya to Xiqi, and the Western Sect sent Shen Gongbao to Xiqi. Meanwhile, the state religion worshipped in the Shang Dynasty was the Jie Sect.

This means that all the disciples of the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and the Jie Sect have entered the calamity.

The Chan Sect and the Western Sect helped Xiqi, while the Jie Sect supported the Shang Dynasty, creating a one-against-two situation.

However, as the great calamity continues to develop, the Human Cult and Nuwa may also be subject to it.

In the early stages, it may have been a contest between the disciples of the various sages, but as the great calamity develops to its extreme, it becomes a contest between sages themselves.

Zhao Gongming needs to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he can compete with the sages before the end of the Investiture of the Gods. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that the Investiture of the Gods will repeat the same mistakes, and he cannot bear such a heavy price.

As soon as Zhao Gongming had a thought, the laws of time, space, and cause and effect appeared all at once, transforming into countless threads that wrapped around Zhao Gongming.

The power of the laws was extremely terrifying; Zhao Gongming had actually comprehended 60% of it.

When one comprehends 50% of the laws, one is considered an early-stage Primordial Golden Immortal; when one comprehends 60% of the power of the laws.

This is the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, equivalent to a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection stage.

However, in reality, with the power of the laws upon them, ordinary Quasi-Saints at the Great Perfection stage in the Primordial World would find it difficult to be a match for a Primordial Golden Immortal.

After giving instructions to Chen Jiugong and having Yao Shaosi take good care of Mount Emei, Zhao Gongming went directly to Chaos to break through.
