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

Chapter 181 The World of Norse Mythology

"It has always been so since ancient times. Now, we are facing a once-in-a-millennium change. I will be the one to play this game. Do you understand, my beloved consort?" Di Xin said with a smile.

"I only now understand Your Majesty's ambition. But Your Majesty has put yourself in this situation. Are you not afraid that Ji Chang will really take you with him?" Su Daji asked with a hint of curiosity.

Upon hearing Su Daji's words, Di Xin smiled and then looked at Su Daji.

"Anyone could become the Human Emperor, but Ji Chang is the only one who cannot," Di Xin said in a deep voice, a glint of light in his eyes.

"Why is Your Majesty asking this?" Su Daji asked with a hint of surprise.

In Su Daji's view, Ji Chang had a great chance, and the feudal lords also thought so, which is why they pledged allegiance to Xiqi.

However, it seems there's something more to it now.

"The human race has two saints, and with the support of immortals and gods, it is impossible for them to become the human emperor. Do you understand now?" Di Xin said in a deep voice.

Only after hearing Di Xin's words did Su Daji understand.

It turns out it was because of those two saints.

The fact that the human race has two sages is known to all living beings in the primordial world.

The creator of the human race, the Holy Mother Nuwa; a saint of the human race, and also the preacher of the human race, Emperor Fang!

Both of these are saints of the human race.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two saints that the human emperor is destined to be selected from within the human race. If one relies on the power of immortals and gods, it is impossible to become the human emperor.

"My beloved consort, if you ever have the chance to visit the human race's small world, you will understand that the human race relies on its own continuous self-improvement, not on countless gods and Buddhas," Di Xin said in a deep voice.

"Although Ji Chang is now King Wen of Zhou, his biggest problem is that he has sided with the gods. Even if he defeats the Shang Dynasty, he cannot become the human emperor, nor is it because he himself defeated the Shang Dynasty," Di Xin said in a deep voice.

Su Daji nodded, now understanding why Di Xin had said that.

……

On Shen Gongbao's side.

Shen Gongbao returned to Chaoge, and now he looked worried.

As for why?

Of course, it was the unfavorable events of this western expedition against Xiqi.

"Your Majesty!!" Shen Gongbao knelt before Di Xin, while Daji, sitting beside Di Xin, looked at Shen Gongbao with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Grand Preceptor, why such a grand gesture?" Di Xin asked slowly.

Shen Gongbao's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duties. Not only did I fail to conquer Xiqi, but I also lost two great generals. I beg Your Majesty to punish me," Shen Gongbao said to Emperor Xin.

Shen Gongbao believed that since he had already said so, Emperor Xin should not punish him, and now was the perfect time to recruit talent.

If Di Xin were to turn against himself, no one would be able to help the Shang Dynasty.

Di Xin looked at Shen Gongbao.

"Grand Preceptor, please get up. This matter is not your fault. It is all the fault of those people from the Chan Sect, who are truly hateful," Di Xin said angrily.

Shen Gongbao looked at Di Xin with a hint of surprise in his eyes, wondering why Di Xin was suddenly saying these things, but Shen Gongbao also had a bad feeling in his eyes.

"I, the Imperial Advisor, always reward merit and punish wrongdoing!" Di Xin said slowly.

"Since the Imperial Preceptor's western expedition was unsuccessful this time, even though it was not his fault, it was still a failure and a disgrace to the Great Shang Dynasty. The Imperial Preceptor must take responsibility for this. In that case, how about punishing the Imperial Preceptor by making him build a Star-Picking Tower for me?" Di Xin said slowly.

"The Star-Picking Tower?" Shen Gongbao looked at Di Xin.

"I wish to enjoy the starry sky and the magnificent landscape of the Shang Dynasty with my beloved consort. Is there any problem?" Di Xin said slowly.

"Your subject obeys the decree!!" Shen Gongbao said with a hint of helplessness.

To be honest, Shen Gongbao was really exhausted. Although he wanted Emperor Xin to be more incompetent so that he could still have a lot of power.

But I never expected that Emperor Xin would be so incompetent.

Damn it, bro, I'm doing you a favor, don't you understand what I mean?

I'm going to help you build the Star-Picking Tower. Now, what about Xiqi?

But there was nothing he could do; after all, Di Xin was the human emperor.

Shen Gongbao couldn't refuse either.

After Shen Gongbao left.

Daji laughed and looked at Di Xin: "Your Majesty, is it alright for you to tease the Imperial Advisor like this?"

"What's wrong with it?" Di Xin said slowly.

"Shen Gongbao came to join the Shang Dynasty, but he only wanted to use the Shang Dynasty to fight against Xiqi. To put it bluntly, Shen Gongbao was not convinced by Jiang Ziya and wanted to use the Shang Dynasty to defeat Jiang Ziya. So, if there is a mistake, there should be a punishment. What's wrong with that?" Di Xin said slowly.

Di Xin's words made Su Daji giggle.

But this is tough on Shen Gongbao. Now he not only has to help the Shang Dynasty devise strategies and invite people, but also help Emperor Xin build the Star-Picking Tower. It's really going to be a nightmare for him.

Moreover, it was the kind of job where no wages were paid.

Chaos Island!!

Di Fang looked into the endless void with a glint in his eyes.

The next moment, Di Fang appeared in the void.

A vast world appeared before Di Fang, rapidly approaching the primordial world.

Di Fang's divine sense merged into this world.

A moment later, Di Fang withdrew his divine sense, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"So this is the world," Di Fang murmured, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The last one was the world of Greek mythology, and this time it's the world of Norse mythology.

Unlike the world of Greek mythology, the gods in the world of Norse mythology are clearly far more powerful than those in the world of Greek mythology.

This is true from any perspective.

The same god-king.

Compared to Zeus, the stallion, Odin was far more valiant and skilled in battle. In fact, compared to Odin, Zeus was truly an extremely weakling.

Although their ranks are similar, they are not at all in the same league.

Moreover, there are many warlike beings in Norse mythology.

Zeus, Thor, and Valhalla, among others.

"This world can be considered a top-tier Great Thousand World, but unfortunately it lacks a specific cultivation system," Di Fang murmured.

If a world does not have a cultivation system, then its potential is destined to be limited.

Both the Greek and Norse pantheons share a common characteristic: neither of them has a cultivation system.

Simply put, they exist entirely based on their own bloodline; this is true of the Norse pantheon and Greek mythology alike.

Both of these worlds are top-tier Great Thousand Worlds. Just look at the gods in these two worlds; they don't need any cultivation. They can grow continuously over time and eventually become Quasi-Saints, all thanks to their own bloodline.

Both the Greek and Norse pantheons share a striking characteristic: the gods of these two worlds have generally never engaged in cultivation.

Instead, they grow stronger through their own bloodline, and the longer they exist, the stronger they become.

This is without any prior training.

Don't say things like, "You can become stronger without cultivating. Why bother cultivating at all?"

So, who has the strongest bloodline?

The Wu tribe of the primordial world possessed the strongest bloodline, but what was the outcome?

In the end, it was just a matter of time before it all came to an end.

No matter how you look at it, cultivating these things is inevitable, regardless of the world.

Rather than saying that the Greek and Norse pantheons lacked cultivation systems.

It would be more accurate to say that neither of the two pantheons encountered any dangerous enemies.

There was no cultivation system in the beginning of the primordial world.

The paths of immortals and demons were both pioneered, and the same is true for the paths of immortals and martial arts.

In the beginning, there was no system in the primordial world; everything relied on its own bloodline and laws, making it no different from Greek and Norse mythology.

Progress comes from struggle.

In short, the Greek and Norse pantheons lived too comfortably and peacefully.

That is why no cultivation system has emerged.

It's not that his world couldn't develop a cultivation system, but rather that it was too peaceful and comfortable, without any hardship.

That's why a cultivation system never came into being.

Di Fang looked at the world before him, a glint of light in his eyes.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial World is still evolving, and there is no need to push it to the Primordial World now.

"But we still need to take some precautions," Di Fang murmured, as a golden mark was directly applied to this vast world.

Then Di Fang disappeared into the endless void.
