Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I pioneered a divine kingdom of faith.

Chapter 157: It doesn't matter who you hang out with.

Big businessman!

The war between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi has begun. In a sense, it is not a conflict between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi, but a clash between the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect.

The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has officially begun.

In the Heavenly Court.

Haotian looked at the beginning of the Investiture of the Gods with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Fight, the more the better," Haotian murmured, a glint of light in his eyes. For Haotian, the more people who died, the more useful people the Heavenly Court would have in the future.

Yaochi looked at Haotian from the side, silent but with a hint of helplessness.

Yaochi also knew that Haotian had no choice but to do this, and that the sages would definitely settle scores with them later, otherwise they would not be sages.

From the Queen Mother's perspective, Haotian did nothing wrong, but from Yaochi's perspective, Haotian went a bit too far.

"Passing through" means that when the saint settles scores later, the trouble will be much greater.

Why has the Heavenly Court been plagued with troubles in later generations? To put it bluntly, it's because the sages were plotting against the Heavenly Court.

The niece of the Cowherd, the Seven Fairy Maidens, and the Third Holy Mother, among others, all existed through scheming. To some extent, none of these were without reason.

In Journey to the West, Haotian's face was practically trampled and kneaded by Sun Wukong.

But what can Haotian do? He can't do anything.

The fact that they could only let Sun Wukong wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace, with a sage behind him, means that the entire Journey to the West is essentially a slap in the face to the Heavenly Court.

This highlights the incompetence of the Heavenly Court.

In a sense, these things are not strange; there is a cause and effect.

The current Investiture of the Gods can be seen as Haotian scheming against the saints, but it's also normal for him to be outmaneuvered later.

"Haotian, sometimes things don't need to be done so drastically," Yaochi said slowly to Haotian.

Upon hearing Yaochi's words, Haotian frowned but did not refute them.

However, thinking of the humiliation he had suffered over the years, Haotian did not speak of Yaochi.

Those disciples of the sages didn't take him seriously, and for Haotian, this was the most painful thing.

Haotian was a person who cared a lot about his reputation in the prehistoric world; in fact, it could be said that all the great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world were people who cared a lot about their reputation...

Haotian was no exception; as the Heavenly Emperor, he was also a disciple of Hongjun.

Seeing Haotian's expression, Yaochi knew that he hadn't listened, but there was nothing she could do; this was all she could manage.

As for the rest, Haotian is the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor is the true ruler of the Heavenly Court.

In the chat group!

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of Bruce: @Bruce, how's the situation now?]

Bruce Wayne: Not very good.

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big boss: ?]

Bruce Wayne: The problem in that mutated neighborhood wasn't solved; in fact, it spread.

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big shot: Uh...]

[Tony: So why did you refuse to help?]

Bruce Wayne: I didn't refuse to help; I just wanted to use my own strength to solve these problems.

Liu Feiye was speechless at Bruce's pedantic words.

[Zhu Wushi: @Ying Zheng, after the spiritual energy revived, some monsters were born in my world. What about your world?]

[Ying Zheng: Same here, this is inevitable. With the revival of spiritual energy, even ordinary animals will eventually be able to absorb it and cultivate into demons.]

[Bai Yuekui: Is there really such a thing?]

[Ying Zheng: Although humans are the most intelligent beings in the world, they are merely one species within it. With the revival of spiritual energy, other animals can naturally cultivate as well.]

[Bai Yuekui: So that's how it is. If my world upgrades, then those Devouring Beasts can also cultivate?]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big shot: It's very possible.]

[Ying Zheng: However, without cultivation methods, if they rely on instinct to cultivate, they are completely inferior to us, which is actually quite good.]

[Zhu Wushi: Indeed, although those animals have developed sentience, they can only cultivate through instinct, and are certainly not as good as us.]

[Bai Yuekui: However, the Devouring Beasts are no ordinary creatures; what I fear is a second mutation.]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big shot: Ah, that's actually quite possible!]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the boss: Logically speaking, what is a second mutation of a Devouring Beast? A Devouring Demon?]

[Sasuke: Why think so much? Just like Zheng said, we've mastered the cultivation method, and our cultivation speed is much faster than theirs, so why think so much?]

[Ying Zheng: That's right. My world is already raising those monsters. We can sell them to the chat group's shop to earn points.]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big shot: Points? What do you guys need points for?]

[Ying Zheng: A lottery? Although you don't need cultivation techniques, getting some blueprints or something is still very useful.]

[Zhu Wushi: Yes, that's what I did too. We don't need cultivation methods, but we still need things that benefit the country and its people. What if we draw a treasure that can assist in cultivation?]

[Tony: Does the lottery have these features?]

[Ying Zheng: ? Otherwise, why would you think Xiong Ba and the others were earning points? These guys have probably already drawn quite a few good items.]

[Liu Feiye, a devoted fan of the big shot: Damn, I thought you guys didn't care about points anymore.]

[Ying Zheng: Emmmm, although we can rely on the God, it's not good to always cause trouble for the God. Since we can rely on ourselves, why do we always think about relying on the God?]

[Liu Feiye, a big fan of the boss: I'm outta here, going to farm points. By the way, anyone want to run a dungeon?]

[Sasuke: ? Weren't you going to collect points?]

[Liu Feiye, a big fan of the pro player: Yeah, but you can ask, just in case someone wants to run a dungeon with me, we can run the dungeon first and then work on the points.]

[Bai Yuekui: 6!]

Wild world.

Di Fang looked at the Shang Dynasty with a thoughtful expression. Di Xin was currently sitting calmly in Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, while the other feudal lords, under the influence of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, had begun to oppose the Shang Dynasty.

The reason why other feudal lords dared to do this was not because the Shang Dynasty was cruel, but because of the instigation of the Marquis of Xibo. After all, the power of Emperor Xin, the human emperor, had reached its peak.

Other feudal lords also feared that Emperor Xin would completely annex them.

As mentioned earlier, this relates to the relationship between the Shang Dynasty and the feudal lords.

The Great Shang refers to the entire human dynasty, while the feudal lords are the various small states within the Great Shang. Each feudal lord's territory is equivalent to a small state, and they are ruled by the feudal lords.

If Emperor Xin was the human emperor, then these feudal lords were like emperors in their own territories.

The fear that the large merchants would swallow them up was not entirely unfounded.

The Shang Dynasty is now extremely powerful, and Grand Tutor Wen Zhong is constantly fighting against foreign tribes to expand the Shang's territory.

When a nation is at its most powerful, its martial virtue is also abundant.

They also saw the ambition of Emperor Xin in this area, which is why they were worried.

With the instigation and promises of the Marquis of Xibo, it was not unreasonable for these feudal lords to rebel, as territorial expansion had always been Di Xin's doing.

Their willingness to follow Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was largely due to the Chan Sect behind him, which was, after all, the lineage of the sages.

In short, it doesn't matter who you follow.

Since we're all just living under someone else's command anyway, what difference does it make whether we're under Di Xin or Ji Chang?

No, on the contrary, Ji Chang treated them better and was not so harsh.

Most importantly, Ji Chang was not as powerful as Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin, as the emperor, always had absolute authority, but this did not align with the interests of the feudal lords.

This is why the feudal lords agreed with Ji Chang's words and began to unite against the Shang Dynasty.
