Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 189 Advanced
"After the meeting of princes is over, I will go to the Heavenly Palace in person to test the Jade Emperor's opinion and see if I can make this happen."

Ao Bing could still see what the Shang officials were thinking, so he took the initiative to take charge of the matter without waiting for their proposal.

Regarding the relationship between the Shang Dynasty and the Heavenly Palace, who else besides him can have a say in front of the Jade Emperor?

"With Long Bo's intervention, this matter will be accomplished!"

Everyone smiled when they heard this. In their opinion, with Ao Bing's intervention, the matter was at least half done.

Although their relationship with the Heavenly Court was not good, they had never stopped hearing about it. Knowing that Ao Bing was a new noble in the Heavenly Court, he had helped the Jade Emperor a lot. If Ao Bing had something to ask for, the Jade Emperor would definitely not refuse.

"We can't be too sure. The Jade Emperor has suffered many misfortunes and his mind has changed a lot. It is beyond the ability of outsiders to guess. So in my opinion, we should make other plans in case the Jade Emperor disagrees with this matter."

Seeing everyone so confident, Ao Bing couldn't help but say, "It's not that he deliberately poured cold water on them, but the probability that the Jade Emperor would disagree with this matter is too high."

It can't be said that he disagreed. According to Ao Bing's understanding of the Jade Emperor, he should have agreed to this matter verbally, and then kept finding various excuses to shirk it. It doesn't need to be delayed for long, just until the Conferred God Killing Tribulation is over.

By then, the Shang Dynasty would probably be gone. The Jade Emperor would not only lead the water of the Tianhe River to Tongtian Lake, but he might also take this opportunity to take Tongtian Lake into his possession.

Don't think that the Jade Emperor doesn't need resources because he is the master of the three realms. The Jade Emperor also needs to train a team, which requires resources. It is impossible for him not to be tempted by such a good place as Tongtianze.

"If we have a choice, we don't want to ask the Jade Emperor for help."

Hearing Ao Bing asking them to find another solution, the Shang monarchs and ministers could not help but sigh. This was not the only option. If there was a choice, why would they do this?
Bowing to the Jade Emperor was not a glorious thing for the Shang Dynasty.

"Now that the void has changed, it is inevitable that the resources on earth will become less and less. If Da Shang wants to continue its glory, it is best to develop in the void."

"There are countless opportunities hidden in the thirty-six layers of the void, but no one is paying attention to it right now. Da Shang can seize the opportunity and be the first to develop this place."

"In the future, when the Void is booming, Dashang may be able to take advantage of the situation and rise to a higher level."

It was difficult to tell the people of Da Shang what the Jade Emperor was thinking, so Ao Bing had to persuade them to give up Tongtian Lake and develop towards the thirty-sixth level of the void instead.

This is not to cheat Da Shang, but to consider them sincerely. As the existence that divides the thirty-six layers of the void, Ao Bing is very clear about the positioning of the void world by the Heavenly Dao, which is the future fairyland.

The thirty-six layers of the void are the immortal world, where the immortals live. The thirty-six layers of heaven are the heaven, where the gods live.

Even if it is not as good as the heaven, it is not much worse. No one has realized this yet, and they are not paying enough attention to its thirty-six layers of void.

If Da Shang can seize the opportunity and take the lead in developing this place, then there is a great chance that it will rise up in the future and become the overlord of the fairy world.

Of course, Ao Bing said this out of selfish motives. The void was divided by him, which meant that he opened up the fairyland, so the more prosperous the fairyland, the greater the benefits he would get.

In the fairyland, there must first be fairies.

Without immortals, the thirty-six layers of the void are just an empty world and cannot be considered a world of immortals.

Therefore, from Ao Bing's perspective, he definitely hopes that all the immortals in the prehistoric world will go to the Void World to establish its name as an immortal world. Only in this way can he bring him infinite luck.

As the orthodox human race, if Da Shang were the first to enter the void world, it would be able to set an example and attract more human immortals to the void world.

The human race is the overlord of the world. Seeing that the human race attaches so much importance to the void world, other races will definitely follow suit.

In this way, it won't be long before the void world will turn into the prototype of the fairyland, and over time, the fairyland will naturally be established. "Tongtianze needs to be saved, and the void world must also enter. Not long ago, Long Bo dragged out a lich battlefield from the depths of the void, which is really enviable."

"It turns out that the void is just as Long Bo said, full of good fortune. This kind of treasure land, our Great Shang must not miss it."

Everyone nodded, expressing their approval of Ao Bing's words. People are greedy, Tongtianze and the others don't want to give up, and they also want to get involved in the Void World.

In fact, even if Ao Bing didn’t say it, Da Shang would focus its next efforts on developing the void world.

There was no way out. Tongtian Lake was about to dry up. Even if the officials of the Shang Dynasty were unwilling, they had to find another way and find a new piece of precious land to meet the needs of the Shang Dynasty.

However, all the treasures in the ancient world were owned by people. After searching everywhere, they finally found that the only place they could go was the void world that had just been opened up.

When this world was first created, the creations inside were all ownerless, and whoever grabbed them first would own them. If Da Shang wanted to increase its revenue, it could only cultivate this place.

"Da Shang has its own system. I won't say much about how to develop the void world. I will do my best to lead the water of the Tianhe River to Tongtian Lake. I hope it will succeed."

At this point, the business of Da Shang was over. But Ao Bing's business had not yet begun, so he said, "It just so happens that I also have two things that I need your help with."

"What is it? Long Bo, just speak frankly, and I will help you with the whole country's strength."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin hurriedly said, "Ao Bing has helped the Shang Dynasty a lot this time. He was just wondering how to thank Ao Bing. Now that he has a request, the Shang Dynasty will definitely do its best to satisfy him."

Although Ao Bing's proposal has not been implemented, it is a great achievement for Da Shang. After all, he pointed out the direction for Da Shang.

In fact, it is not necessary to have the consent of the Jade Emperor to divert the water of the Tianhe River into the Tongtian Lake. Asking the Jade Emperor to agree is to give him face. If the Jade Emperor is shameless, then does the Shang Dynasty have no other way?

Not necessarily. The Shang Dynasty could have sent strong men to sneak into the Heavenly Palace and secretly dig up the Heavenly Dike, causing the water from the Heavenly River to pour into the Tongtian Lake, creating a fait accompli.

In this case, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to accept the matter. Otherwise, how could he block the dike again?
Of course, there was no need to tell Ao Bing about this. After all, he was also from Heaven. Such matters were tacitly understood by both parties. There was no need to tell him out loud and make things difficult for him.

"It's not a difficult matter. I think you all know that I am compiling history in the Heavenly Court, so I would like to ask Da Shang to come forward and communicate with the other princes to compile history for the human race."

Ao Bing did not lay any groundwork and directly stated his first purpose, which was to compile history for the human race. He was not afraid of Da Shang's rejection, because compiling history for the human race was also a good thing for Da Shang, which could enhance its legitimacy.

At the same time, recording history is also beneficial to governance. Let the princes record their own history, not only their own history, but also the history of neighboring countries.

In this way, when the princes gather for an alliance, all the historical records of each prince will be taken out and compared carefully.

If the princes were loyal, the history they recorded would naturally match. On the contrary, if the princes had ulterior motives, the history they recorded would not match.

It is called "history record", but it is actually "account record". This is a method invented by Duke Zhou during the reign of the Shang Dynasty to strengthen the central government's control over the princes.

I have to say that Duke Zhou was really amazing. His method is still used in modern society. It is really advanced.

"The ancestors of the human race blazed a trail through hardships and overcame countless difficulties to create the current situation of the human race."

"Their heroic deeds should indeed be recorded for the world to admire."
