Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 190: A large group of backstage
"Recording history can also help us learn from the experiences of our ancestors and avoid going astray."

The Shang Dynasty would definitely support the compilation of history because they had learned painful lessons and knew the importance of history books.

The significance of history books lies in summarizing the wisdom of predecessors and learning from their lessons, so that future generations can avoid detours in development.

When the Shang Dynasty was first established, the inheritance system was that the son inherited the father's property and the younger brother inherited the elder brother's property. The consequences of such a chaotic inheritance system can be imagined.

After only a few generations, the Shang royal family started a nine-generation war to fight for the throne, which lasted for more than 100,000 years. It was because of this that the Shang Dynasty was seriously injured and has not recovered to this day.

The later Shang emperors learned the lesson of the Nine Generations of Chaos and gradually explored the system of primogeniture, which made the succession of the throne more stable.

The significance of history books lies in this, allowing future generations to see the chaos of the Nine Generations, understand its causes, understand its consequences, and then learn lessons and make corrections.

In this way, as long as it is passed down from generation to generation, future generations will definitely be able to live better and better based on the experience of their predecessors.

In theory, this is correct.

"The second thing is related to combing the earth veins. As you all know, I have previously invited immortals from all over the world to go to Longzhou to discuss combing the earth veins."

"However, the wilderness is vast and it is not easy for immortals to travel. By the time they arrive at Longzhou from their respective caves, it will take who knows how long."

"Therefore, I intend to let these immortals go to the nearby vassal states, and then build void passages between the major vassal states and Longzhou to shorten the time they need to travel to Longzhou."

After finishing the first thing, Ao Bing went on to talk about the second thing, which was to build void passages in the vassal states. Although this matter was of great justice, it would certainly encounter resistance in the actual implementation.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just say one thing, after the void channel is built, who will have the control over this void channel?

If he returns to Ao Bing, the princes will definitely not be happy.

What a joke, they built a void passage directly to Longzhou in their house, but it was not their responsibility. Doesn't that mean that their house has become Longzhou's back garden, and they can come and go as they please, without even saying hello.

If they come into conflict with Longzhou in the future, this void passage will become even more deadly, as countless armies can rush out at any time and penetrate directly into their heartland.

Therefore, if a void channel is built in a vassal state, the control of the channel must be handed over. However, why should the void channel that Ao Bing built with great effort be handed over to outsiders?

Neither side is willing to give up control of the void channel, so the conflict is here. If this matter cannot be resolved, there is naturally no way to build a void channel among the vassal states.

Although Ao Bing spoke cryptically, most of the people present were smart and could understand what he meant. After hesitating for a while, Bigan said awkwardly:
"If it's just about building a void passage, it's not difficult. If someone offers to help, how could those princes refuse?"

"But Long Bo specifically mentioned this matter and wanted us to help. I'm afraid it's not as simple as building a void channel. He probably doesn't want to hand over the control of the channel."

"If that's the case, this will be difficult."

"Long Bo also knows that the Shang Dynasty is not as powerful as it used to be, and many of the princes in the world are unwilling to obey. If it was at the beginning of the dynasty, only one order would be needed to accomplish this. But now, the princes may not obey orders."

Bigan's tone revealed helplessness amidst embarrassment. He felt guilty for not being able to help Ao Bing, as well as unwilling to accept the current situation of the Shang Dynasty.

How could the Shang Dynasty become like this? It was looked down upon by the princes of the world and many of them refused to obey it. Although this was not a sign of national demise, it was a sign of national weakness. If it was more serious, it would be similar to the situation before the fall of the Xia Dynasty.

"I will speak to the princes. You just need to promise to stand by my side no matter what happens."

Ao Bing could more or less see the situation of Da Shang, so he did not force Da Shang to help, which was unrealistic. He just asked them to promise to always stand on his side.

Even if the Shang Dynasty was on the brink of collapse, it was still the common ruler of the world and held the title of righteousness. As long as they could gain their support, many things would become much easier.

"Da Shang and Jiejiao share weal and woe. No matter what decision Long Bo makes, we will fully support it. I just don't know how Long Bo plans to make this happen?"

Shang Rong asked, knowing Ao Bing's thoughts in advance so that he could cooperate with him during the alliance meeting later.

Now it is Yuanshi Tianzun who wants them to die. They have no other way to survive except to cling to Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Therefore, they had no choice at all. Even if Ao Bing led them to death, they had to bite the bullet and follow him.

"Combing the earth veins is a move that will benefit the ancient world. I have reported this to the Heavenly Dao, the Saints, the Jade Emperor, and the Earth Emperor, and they all agreed and expressed their full support for this matter."

"If someone refuses to cooperate in such an important matter, he must be an evil demon who wants to ruin the great plan and destroy the future of heaven and earth. As a descendant of the Xuan Sect, how can I tolerate him?"

Ao Bing said murderously. As it concerns the future of Longzhou, he has already made up his mind that if soft tactics don't work, then he will use hard tactics.

First, offer them a huge profit. If they still refuse, then you can only ask them to die. If they refuse to accept your toast, then you should drink the wine of punishment. If they want to die, then let them do it.

“Although the princes are not as powerful as the three religions, the forces behind them are complicated. Some are descendants of the Saint Queen, or the heirs of great supernatural powers. If they are forced too much, there may be a big chaos.”

Bigan and the others sensed the murderous intent in Ao Bing's words and could not help but persuade him. They thought Ao Bing would have some good ideas, but they did not expect him to be so direct and ready to kill all the princes who disagreed.

Well, this is indeed a good idea. Kill all the opponents, and the rest will naturally be in favor. But the princes are not made of clay, and everyone has a backer behind them.

It's no big deal to mess with them, but if you provoke their backers, then things will become serious.

"Your worries are totally unnecessary. No matter how powerful the princes' backers are, can they be more powerful than the Heavenly Dao, the Jade Emperor, the Saints, and the Emperor of Earth?"

“If someone with great magical powers takes action, there will surely be someone even stronger who will come forward to persuade them to understand the greater good.”

"Also, if the princes cause rebellion, it will be a good thing for Da Shang. I can pacify them, which will not only enhance Da Shang's national strength, but also improve Da Shang's prestige. Why not do it?"

Ao Bing replied in a relaxed tone, not taking the princes' backers into consideration at all. He knew very well that what he was doing was an offensive job. Therefore, he had brought in a bunch of backers for himself in advance.

Regarding the matter of combing the earth veins, Ao Bing really reported it to the Heavenly Dao, the Six Saints, the Jade Emperor and the Holy Emperor in turn. According to their positions, they must support this matter.

With this group of big guys backing him, what is Ao Bing afraid of?
