Chapter 563 Cheng Tang established the Shang Dynasty, and his holy might spread!
After the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, Cheng Tang established the Shang Dynasty and made Bo its capital.
On this day, Cheng Tang held his coronation ceremony. He stood on a high platform and offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth:
"Jie lost his virtue, and Heaven decreed his punishment."
"I, Cheng Tang, am acting on behalf of Heaven to punish the guilty, not to usurp the throne, but to bring peace to the people."
"From this day forward, the human race will no longer worship blood sacrifices, nor will it wage war recklessly. We will establish our moral order through rites and music, and build our nation on agriculture and sericulture."
"In the past, the Xia dynasty used divine authority to subdue all nations, causing people to kneel and worship totems and sacrifice young girls to ghosts and gods."
"Now Tang has overturned the mandate, abolished human sacrifice, established the Tang Penal Code, and made it clear to all directions."
"Human destiny is not controlled by ghosts and gods; human fortune does not depend on the amount of sacrifices made, but on diligent farming and weaving, upholding social norms, and respecting Heaven and ancestors."
"..."
Upon hearing Cheng Tang's announcement, countless human beings below the stage were thrilled and knelt down to pay their respects.
"King Tang was benevolent and virtuous!"
"Though the Xia Terrace has fallen, the oath of Tang remains."
"With King Tang alive, our people will prosper!"
"..."
Just as Cheng Tang was establishing the Shang Dynasty, all the great sages of the prehistoric world were paying close attention.
Penglai Immortal Island, the main island of Shouyang Mountain, is located within the Bajing Palace.
"The Xia Dynasty fell, and the Shang Dynasty was established."
"It's getting closer and closer!"
The Supreme Sage glanced at the screen and muttered something meaningful.
As the head of the Three Pure Ones, he naturally knew this.
Countless years have passed since the Lich Wars.
The primordial world may appear peaceful and serene now, but in reality, the aura of calamity is growing stronger.
The new great calamity is drawing ever closer.
Kunlun Mountain on Suboshima Island, inside the Jade Void Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat upright on his cloud bed, his gaze slightly raised, piercing through the endless void and falling into the territory of the human race.
"With the establishment of the new Shang Dynasty, the human race will enter a new stage of development."
After a moment of reflection, Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew his gaze, glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Realm, and muttered to himself with a hint of doubt:
"We obtained the Heavenly Dao merit from Haotian to support the ascension of the new human emperor."
"Plus, the fortunes of the human race and the Heavenly Court are also a blessing."
"It should be close to success, right?"
……
On another secondary island, there is Biyou Palace.
The Sage of Heaven glanced at himself, looking as if he were deep in thought.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled faintly and said:
"Humanity is developing steadily and seemingly peacefully, but some things are ultimately predetermined by fate!"
"In the previous great calamity, the Lich and Demon races were the main forces."
"Now, although humanity has become the dominant race on this vast and ancient land, the calamities to come will also befall them!"
……
Western religion, Mount Sumeru.
Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Golden Pool, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions darkened slightly after sensing it.
"Senior brother."
"With the fall of Xia and the rise of Shang, the human race entered a new phase."
Zhunti spoke in a cold and indifferent tone.
Upon hearing this, Jieyin nodded slightly and said:
"yes!"
"The calamity energy between heaven and earth has been growing stronger lately."
"I'm afraid the next great calamity is not far off."
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Zhunti's eyes, and he said:
"Actually... this great calamity may not necessarily be a bad thing for our Western religion."
"Perhaps we can even take advantage of the chaos to prosper."
"Many of our Western Sect disciples went to the human realm this time, not only to help Cheng Tang destroy the Xia dynasty, but also to greatly spread the doctrines of the Western Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin narrowed his eyes slightly, his face showing deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke:
"Let's wait and see!"
……
Beyond the heavens, in the palace of Nuwa.
After sensing Cheng Tang's announcement, the sage Nuwa slowly opened her holy eyes.
Then, he lowered his gaze slightly, looked down at the humans in the lower realm, and couldn't help but sigh:
"What will become of humanity's future?"
As the Holy Mother of the Human Race, Nuwa had made this deduction more than once.
Unfortunately, the secrets of heaven are very mysterious, and she has no way of calculating them.
……
Meanwhile, in the Ten Thousand Mountains, in that isolated, naturally blessed land...
The cattle-like creatures within quietly cultivated themselves.
Upon learning that the human race had entered the Shang Dynasty era, Niu Ba was filled with mixed emotions.
"I really don't understand."
"Why has Ben'er consistently refused to let my Bull Clan contend for supremacy?"
Niu Ba muttered to himself, his brows furrowed with doubt.
Back during the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King, he personally went to the Netherworld to find Niu Ben, wanting the Bull Clan to participate in the struggle for supremacy.
After all, in Niu Ba's view, the Niu Clan now has two saints, himself and Niu Ben, in charge, and their strength is not what it used to be.
Even the demon race and the witch race are no match for the bull race.
If they participate in the struggle for supremacy, the Bull Clan will surely become the supreme ruler of the primordial world.
However, Niu Ben resolutely rejected Niu Ba's offer.
Before the great battle with the Xuanhuang Realm, Niu Ben also gave Niu Ba the small world where he had his own innate blessed land, allowing the creatures of the Niu clan to enter and cultivate.
Although this independent, naturally blessed land is rich in spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to cultivation.
But no matter what, it's just a small world.
Niu Ba felt that the Bull Clan was like the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan, trapped in a small world.
"call……"
After a moment's thought, Niu Ba let out a long sigh, then came to his senses and muttered to himself:
"That's enough!"
"Ben'er must have his reasons for doing this."
Although he didn't understand it very well, Niu Ba still trusted his son Niu Ben immensely.
……
Meanwhile, the Netherworld is located there.
Niu Ben awoke from his cultivation.
"Cheng Tang established the Shang dynasty."
"After the Shang Dynasty, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods will begin!"
"I wonder if my existence will cause this great calamity to take a different turn?"
Thinking of this, Niu Ben frowned slightly.
He knew this very well, though others might not.
The end of the Shang Dynasty marked the beginning of a new great calamity.
After a moment's thought, Niu Ben took a deep breath and muttered calmly:
We'll see when the time comes!
"No matter what, the stronger you are, the more confident you will be!"
"When will I be able to take another step forward and reach the Heavenly Dao level?"
……
Time flies.
Before we knew it, a period of time had passed.
On this day, deep within the Heavenly Court, a beam of purple-gold light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire celestial realm.
From that light was contained an unparalleled sacred pressure.
"boom!"
With just a slight perception, he made all the immortals submit and all the gods kneel in worship.
"this?"
"Holy...Holy Might?"
"Is His Majesty Haotian about to attain sainthood?"
"Definitely!"
"Very good!"
"..."
When the many immortals and gods in Heaven sensed this, they were all greatly encouraged.
Long ago, Haotian descended to the mortal realm and supported Xia Qi to ascend to the throne as the new emperor of the human race, thus ushering in an era of hereditary rule for humanity.
It was precisely because of this that Heaven bestowed merit, and the fortune of the human race was also blessed by Haotian.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Realm, Haotian immediately announced his seclusion.
Everyone knows that Haotian is trying to break through to the Saintly Path.
After all, after the great war between the Primordial World and the Xuanhuang Realm, Haotian was bestowed with a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for becoming a saint.
With this purple aura, as long as Haotian accumulates enough, he can steadily step into the level of a sage.
