Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 151: The Conferred Gods are about to begin, Emperor Xin is born

One day, Ling Xiao was practicing when he suddenly felt the stars moving. In the starry sky, the Wenqu star was moving.

Wenquxing was born.

This Wenquxing is none other than Bigan, the uncle of Emperor Xin, the last human emperor in the original ancient history, whose heart was dug out during the Conferred God Tribulation.

Is this really the case? Not necessarily!
Is Emperor Xin really incompetent and tyrannical? Not necessarily.

History is written by the victors.

On this day, Ling Xiao came to Chaoge City, which is the place where the human race has the strongest luck. Even Hongjun's spiritual sense cannot detect it.

The Shang Dynasty lasted nearly four hundred years and had begun to decline.

This is the consequence of a family dynasty. Humans are selfish by nature. Even if none of their descendants can gain recognition from the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the Black Bird of Fortune, and are unworthy of being the Emperor of Mankind, they are still unwilling to pass the throne to outsiders.

The consequence was the decline of the dynasty.

For example, the current King Di Yi of Shang Dynasty cannot get the recognition of Xuanyuan Sword and Black Bird of Fortune. He is a mediocre person and unworthy of being the emperor of mankind.

Human nature is also greedy. At the beginning, the eight hundred princes were not satisfied with the territories under their rule and attacked each other. In the end, they were unwilling to be just princes.

In addition, the mediocrity of the emperor at that time further encouraged their arrogance, and they felt that they should be the princes.

After four hundred years, the human race is no longer as united as it was during the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, with their shared purpose and fearless spirit of sacrificing for the sake of humanity.

This is inevitable because during the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the population was small and there was no worry about insufficient resources or uneven distribution.

Now, after thousands of years of recuperation, the human race number exceeds billions, spread all over the east and south of the primitive land.

There are only so many resources in the east and south of the ancient land. If the human population exceeds that limit, they will find that the resources are insufficient and unevenly distributed.

In order to survive, they have to steal from others, and that causes chaos.

To solve this problem, one must either shift the conflict outward, continue to expand outward, and conquer the north and west.

Or it could be internal governance, birth control, mountain moving and land reclamation, etc.

As for the family-based empire and the selfish inheritance within the royal family, those who are not recognized by the Xuanyuan Sword and the Black Bird of Fortune are definitely not people of great talent and strategy.

After living in comfort for so long, why would one think of external expansion?

For example, Emperor Yi was already overwhelmed with managing the territory of the Shang Dynasty, so how could he have extra energy to manage the princes?

As the princes become more powerful, their ambitions naturally grow.

With internal and external troubles, war will break out and the country will be consumed by internal consumption.

Dynasties changed, wars broke out frequently, many people died in battle, the population decreased, resources were redistributed, and the country could be stable for a few hundred years again, and this cycle repeated itself.

There is no way around it; humans reproduce too easily and too quickly, and yet we are born as mortals and need to eat.

Only an emperor with great talent and strategy can alleviate the crisis and bring about prosperity.

The human race has its own path to follow, and it would be bad if he interfered.

If he solved all the problems for the human race, the human race would lose the virtue of self-reliance and self-improvement, become dependent on him, and think of gaining something without working, and the human race would become weaker and weaker.

In this year, Emperor Xin was born. The black bird, which had not moved for hundreds of years, suddenly moved, transformed, and soared over Chaoge.

The Shang royal family spread the news that Prince Di Xin was born, and the black bird congratulated him, saying that Di Xin would definitely become the emperor of mankind.

Ling Xiao knew that this was true. How could Emperor Xin be a tyrannical and incompetent person if he could gain the approval of Xuanniao? He was just being plotted against and slandered by the victors of the Zhou Dynasty.

Why did the Shang Dynasty fall? Because the Zhou Dynasty bowed to the heavens, betrayed the human race, and received help from the gods and even from the saints.

But those ambitious princes did not believe it. They spread rumors that Emperor Xin was a monster who came to the world and that the black bird was a warning.

For a time, there were many different opinions, and the people were divided into two camps. Some believed that it was the incarnation of the Human Emperor, while others believed that it was the incarnation of a demon.

Ling Xiao did not intervene. From the moment Emperor Xin was born, the Conferred God Calamity officially began. The secret was clear, Zhou destroyed Shang, and Xiqi rose. The saints began to plan. Calamities are often accompanied by good fortune. The saints wanted to gain more benefits, so they sent their disciples to the human race to recruit disciples, or reincarnated into the human race.

Ling Xiao didn't care, and just took the opportunity to eliminate those human traitors who surrendered to Tian.

On this day, Emperor Yi died and Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne. He began to work hard to govern the country and save the Shang Dynasty from decline. He appointed wise ministers such as Bigan, Shang Rong, and Ehou.

The Shang Dynasty was located in the east of the ancient world, and the saints naturally did not want the Shang Dynasty to revive.

Two years later, the princes reported to the emperor that there was a big monster in the northeast, connecting to the North Sea, leading soldiers to invade the human race, and requested Emperor Xin to send troops to fight against it.

Emperor Xin then recalled the Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, who was learning from the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit of Jiejiao, and ordered Wen Zhong to lead his troops to the North Sea.

At this time, the human race was still very strong. The generals were all immortals who had transformed from mortals into gods, and the soldiers were all gifted in martial arts. They formed formations and could fight against the earthly immortals and celestial immortals.

These formations were passed down to the human race by Chang Xi, Xihe and Sanxiao, and some were created by the Three Emperors.

There are too many disciples of Jiejiao, and Jin'ao Island cannot accommodate them all, so many disciples of Jiejiao do not live on Jin'ao Island, but have their own temples outside.

Wen Zhong was gifted with extraordinary talents. He had worshipped the Holy Mother of Fire as his teacher since he was a child. He had already become an immortal and had lived for hundreds of years. He had always been the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty.

Like Yang Jian, he has awakened the innate supernatural power of the third eye, and is now a master in the early stage of the Golden Immortal. He has the magic weapon the King Whip, an acquired top-grade spiritual treasure, and possesses the destiny of the human race.

The great masters of the human race during the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are all in seclusion in Huoyun Palace. Wen Zhong should be the one with the highest level of cultivation among the human race now.

Ling Xiao saw clearly that Emperor Xin was indeed a man of great talent and strategy.

On this day, Ling Xiao went to the palace to meet Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin was tall, intimidating without even getting angry, and had a strong aura. He was discussing state governance strategies with Bigan.

"who?"

Emperor Xin noticed someone coming in and immediately drew out the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Yes, being able to pull out the Xuanyuan Sword means that he has been recognized by the Xuanyuan Sword and can be the emperor of men. The fate of the Shang Dynasty is not over yet."

Ling Xiao revealed his true appearance and walked over.

"Your Majesty, do not blaspheme. He is the holy father of the human race." Bigan quickly grabbed Emperor Xin.

"How can we prove that there is no evil spirit pretending to be the Holy Father?" Emperor Xin remained on guard.

"I'm afraid no one in the prehistoric world dares to pretend to be me. If I were a fake, Xuanniao would have already issued a warning."

"Bigan, do you know who you were in your previous life?"

Ling Xiao walked over with a smile.

Emperor Xin put down his sword. Indeed, if it was an evil spirit, the moment it entered Chaoge City, the Black Bird would move unusually.

"I don't know. Please give me some advice, Holy Father." Bigan bowed respectfully.

"In your previous life, you were the human race's saint master Cangjie, who created characters and passed on human civilization."

"When you were born, the Wenqu star moved, and it took thousands of years for you to reincarnate. Your birth at this time was a plan by heaven, and I didn't even notice it."

As he spoke, Ling Xiao's expression became serious.

"Ah? Why? Why would Heaven plot against me?" Bigan was confused.

"You are the Saint Master of the human race, carrying a great deal of the human race's luck. Heaven wants to use the Human Emperor to kill you and destroy the human race's luck."

"The Way of Heaven, or rather, Hongjun wants to seize the destiny of the human race."

Ling Xiao said with narrowed eyes.
