I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 886 Wanting to be the Scalpel Bearer of the Great Calamity

These ten years.

Jiang Ming's plan is very clear: he has now completely taken control of the entire Shang Dynasty, possessing a vast amount of imperial fortune exceeding one million.

However, Jiang Ming had originally sensed that he had extended the dynasty's fate by three hundred years. Unfortunately, Jiang Ming directly consumed most of it, leaving only thirty years.

For Jiang Ming, the dynasty's fortune value is something that needs to be constantly harvested; he wouldn't hoard a useless number. What's most important is the talent he needs in various industries.

Now, Jiang Ming is ready to charge into battle, sword in hand, at any moment, and sweep across the surrounding tribes and nations.

Ten thousand cannons were deployed and swept across the land.

Of course, Jiang Ming didn't want to make a big fuss unless absolutely necessary.

In theory, he still has eight years to develop. By then, he will have planes, cannons, warships, and land, sea, and air forces advancing in unison, sweeping across the land.

As things stand, everything is proceeding according to plan.

At that time, Jiang Ming will proactively trigger the Great Tribulation. During the Great Tribulation, he will try his best to develop while simultaneously letting his dynasty of destiny sweep away the surrounding demons and monsters, ensuring that those who submit to him prosper and those who oppose him perish.

Wasn't a great calamity about to descend? Then let his Great Shang Dynasty become the sharpest blade in the calamity, acting as the law enforcer of Heaven, bringing great calamity upon those demons, monsters, and alien races who refuse to submit!

It can be said that Jiang Ming's current thinking is very simple, direct, and ambitious; he is just waiting for the moment to erupt.

As for Goddess Nuwa, Jiang Ming already sensed that she had long since calmed down. Now, she had also reaped great benefits; the human race was one she had created, and as the Holy Mother of Humanity, her fate was intertwined with hers.

As humanity grows stronger, a great deal of fortune and merit will be bestowed upon her invisibly.

Therefore, some people say that in the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, Nuwa was only the first to appear on the surface.

In reality, Nuwa was severely harmed; the human race was weakened, and the human king became the emperor. Much of the human race's fortune and merits were directly distributed to the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, Nuwa, in a fit of anger, suffered greatly during the Great Calamity, being outmaneuvered by others.

It took Jiang Ming twenty years after becoming the Human King for him to gradually understand all of this. The better he did, the more Nuwa would sense it and the more direct the benefits she would receive.

In fact, over the years, Jiang Ming personally visited the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Huoyun Cave, as well as some Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Daluo Golden Immortals who had cultivated there.

Jiang Ming then understood that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were backed by the Goddess Nuwa. The sage behind them was the Holy Mother Nuwa, and the human race was not weak.

Humanity had already kept a low profile enough, yet they were still outmaneuvered. In the original storyline, the Great Tribulation of the Gods weakened humanity's development.

However, now, Jiang Ming, with his absolute strength, has carried on the legacy and ushered in a new era for humanity. It's impossible to weaken humanity.

Moreover, Jiang Ming had unknowingly won over two sages to his side, namely, the Goddess Nuwa and the Master of the Heavens.

Because the Shang Dynasty already had many generals who became disciples of the Jie Sect.

Jiang Ming himself developed a very good relationship with the outer disciples of the Jie Sect.

Not only that, even true disciples of the Jie Sect have occasionally visited the Three Immortal Islands in recent years. At the very least, the Golden Spirit Mother, the Tortoise Spirit Mother, the Wudang Mother, and even Daoist Duobao have visited once. In gratitude, they gave him a spiritual treasure.

The seven immortal attendants of the Tongtian Sect Master were all at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and were the seven disciples most favored by the Tongtian Sect Master. Their situation was clear: if they could break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, they would become future true disciples. Currently, they were in the preparatory stage for becoming true disciples.

Because all seven of them possess formidable combat power; a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of cultivation already possesses the combat power to sever a single corpse and become a Quasi-Saint.

For example, in the original storyline, in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, Wuyun Xian unleashed the Hunyuan Hammer to strike Zhunti Daoist. He dared to attack a saint, something that most quasi-saints wouldn't dare to do.

For example, Huanglong Zhenren, who is a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal among the Twelve Golden Immortals, is a five-clawed golden dragon with pure blood. The fact that he could become a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, who dislikes those who wear fur and armor, is enough to show that he is very outstanding.

As a result, Huanglong Zhenren encountered the Golden Hoop Immortal. In just one round, Ma Sui used the golden hoop to firmly bind Huanglong Zhenren's head, causing him unbearable headaches. The immortals of the Chan Sect were helpless against this, and it was only after the intervention of Yuanshi Tianzun that the golden hoop was removed from Huanglong Zhenren.

Of course, some were warlike, but unlucky enough to be taken as mounts.

For example, three of the other five immortals became the mounts of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and they were strictly disciplined.

Two others, being more astute, directly sided with the Western religion and became the future Buddha of Joy and Vairocana.

Of course, the most unfortunate one was probably Qiu Shou Xian, who revealed his true form as a green lion. Later, the Antarctic Immortal hung a sign around the green lion's neck bearing Qiu Shou Xian's name, and Qiu Shou Xian subsequently became the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. In the Journey to the West storyline, he was even castrated.

Although it's possible for someone at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to grow it, it's still a disgrace. Their fate is tragic.

Jiang Ming didn't have any intention of standing up for them; he just recalled the plot details and felt a little emotional about what was happening.

Because he had already met the seven immortal attendants of the Tongtian Sect Leader, and they were all dressed as Taoists, with an air of otherworldly elegance, giving off a sense of being reclusive masters.

Of course, Jiang Ming couldn't help but sigh that Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect was truly a teacher without discrimination. His disciples included innate beings, ancient humans, and even demons, as well as some who were simply heretical cultivators.

In Jiang Ming's view, it wasn't without reason that the Jie Sect was targeted during the Great Tribulation. Firstly, there were too many problems; secondly, the sect was rife with corruption and filth. The Tongtian Sect Leader was indiscriminate in accepting disciples, resulting in the Jie Sect becoming a corrupt and treacherous entity that protected all those with vested interests.

Jiang Ming did mention something, mainly to the Golden Spirit Mother. The Golden Spirit Mother hated evil as if it were her enemy. She was a primordial chaotic golden spirit, born in human form and close to humans. Jiang Ming told her that many of the disciples of the Jie Sect had committed numerous evils. If they were to attract the Great Tribulation, it would inevitably bring disaster to the Jie Sect.

Jiang Ming had already given all the necessary hints.

He also said this to the Holy Mother of Wudang, the future Old Mother of Lishan. Since she was an ancient human, Jiang Ming added that they were all human.

Because when the Holy Mother of Wudang was curious about Jiang Ming's birth, Jiang Ming said that he was an ancient human.

Jiang Ming has said what he needed to say and offered the guidance he needed to offer.

After he actively triggers the Great Tribulation, Jiang Ming himself cannot predict what the consequences will be. Because when the Great Tribulation occurs, in the original storyline, even the saints will get involved in the battle, and Jiang Ming simply cannot foresee how things will develop in the future.

All we can do is make the Shang Dynasty stronger and stronger, so that our enemies will be nothing but chickens and dogs, and we won't have to worry about anything.
