Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 14 explains the secrets of sacrifice to the Goddess of Luo!

The atmosphere in the Chaoge Palace was solemn and dignified.

Yin Ziyu led Luo Shen in slowly. Luo Shen had a graceful figure and a beautiful face, but her expression revealed a hint of coldness and solemnity.

The two walked into the hall. Luoshen slightly bent her knees and bowed respectfully. Her voice was as clear as a yellow oriole singing in a valley: "Luoshen Mi Fei, pays homage to His Majesty the Human Emperor."

Emperor Xin was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, sitting upright on the throne, with an upright posture and eagle-like eyes, showing the heroic spirit of a young emperor.

At this time, Emperor Xin was full of ambitions to expand the territory and prosper the Shang Dynasty. Naturally, he was not stupid at all.

Emperor Xin nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on Luoshen, and said, "So you are the daughter of Emperor Fuxi. No need to be so polite."

Yin Ziyu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Luoshen is well versed in the Emperor's inheritance. I believe that it would be most appropriate for her to serve as the Junior Priestess."

Emperor Xin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "Since she is the daughter of the Emperor, she must have inherited the Emperor's wisdom. The lesser priest duties are suitable for Fairy Mi Fei. Since the Emperor's uncle has recommended her, everything will be decided by the Emperor's uncle."

After hearing this, Luoshen once again thanked Emperor Xin: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Concubine Mi will do her best to live up to your expectations."

After the performance, Yin Ziyu led the Goddess of Luo River out of the hall and came to the Chaoge Ancestral Temple.

The ancestral temple is the most important place controlled by the Ministry of Sacrifices. Not only does it enshrine the Nine Cauldrons that symbolize the power of the human race, it is also the place where the luck of the human race gathers.

Its importance is self-evident. Even for a powerful saint, it is not easy to peek into the situation inside the ancestral temple.

If you want to forcibly break through the protection of luck and peek into the secrets within, what is the point once the ban is broken.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for anyone to know what happened and what was discussed in the ancestral temple without being noticed.

As the two stepped into the ancestral temple, a solemn atmosphere hit them in the face, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which made people feel awe.

Yin Ziyu's expression was solemn as he whispered to Luoshen, "This is the ancestral temple, the seat of the human race's destiny. From now on, we will comprehend the principles of heaven and earth here together."

Luo Shen nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation: "Brother Bigan, it's all up to you."

Yin Ziyu smiled and said, "My Cheng Tang royal family uses Zi as their surname, so you can also call me Ziyu, Fairy!"

Emperor Xin's name was Zishou, also known as Xin Shoude. After he became the Emperor of Man, the word "Emperor" was put in front and the word "Heavenly Stems" was put in the back. This was the name of the Emperor of Man.

Yin Ziyu's father was Wu Ding, and after he became the Human Emperor, he became Emperor Ding. The previous Human Emperor was Emperor Yi, and this one was Emperor Xin.

However, Yin Ziyu felt that the name Bigan was not nice, and that his original name Ziyu was quite good.

It can be said that Zi Yu can be called by his formal name, while Bigan is called by an alias similar to a pen name.

Yin Ziyu walked side by side with the Goddess of Luo River, slowly entering the sacred ground dedicated to the veneration of past emperors. A solemn and awe-inspiring atmosphere permeated the air, and the ancient temples, weathered by the passage of time, seemed even more profound.

Yin Ziyu's expression was solemn. He glanced at the surrounding sacrificial facilities and spoke, "You and I are now the Grand Priest and Junior Priest of the Shang Dynasty respectively. We are responsible for the sacrifices to the successive Human Emperors. The number of sacrifices we perform represents the amount of luck that the successive Human Emperors can enjoy."

Yin Ziyu paused slightly, raised his hand and pointed to a magnificent temple in front of him, and continued: "Look, that is the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven. Among all the emperors in history, Emperor Fuxi enjoyed the most sacrifices."

Luo Shen listened to Yin Ziyu's explanation, and was moved. She said softly, "Thank you, Ziyu, for allowing my father to enjoy the most sacrifices!"

Yin Ziyu smiled faintly, then shook his head. "Fairy Luoshen, there's no need to thank me. My ancestors, Cheng Tang, seized the Xia Dynasty. Since the Yellow Emperor, every emperor has been a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. And today, all the nobles in the world are descendants of the Yellow Emperor. After my ancestors, Cheng Tang, ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave, they were inevitably ostracized by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in the Fire Cloud Cave. Therefore, we should offer more sacrifices to the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi. Now that you have assumed the position of the lesser priest, you naturally need to understand these matters clearly."

It can be said that since the Five Emperors, it has become a foregone conclusion that the throne of the Human Emperor must be held by a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.

As the descendants of the Yellow Emperor gained more power, resources, and luck, other human races gradually declined and were no longer able to compete for the human race's territory.

After tens of thousands of years from the Five Emperors to the Xia Dynasty, it can be said that Huangdi had become the de facto ancestor of the human bloodline, while other bloodlines other than Huangdi's had basically lost the way to advancement.

A black bird descended from the sky from the east and gave birth to Qi, the ancestor of Cheng Tang.

When the Xia family declined, Cheng Tang was supported by the Jiejiao sect and eventually seized the human kingdom and became the new human emperor. Only then did other ethnic groups that were suppressed by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor have a chance to breathe.

At the beginning, Cheng Tang was faced with the descendants of Huangdi who accounted for half of the human race. He could only try his best to maintain a balance and let them hold high positions. For example, the Xibohou of all generations were direct descendants of Huangdi.

The Jiang family of Dongbohou is the direct descendant of the Earth Emperor Shennong.

The Southern Marquis E Chongyu was a collateral descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and the Northern Marquis Chonghouhu was a descendant of the Gaoyang clan, who were also descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

Therefore, Emperor Xin is now getting married and preparing to marry the daughter of the Jiang family to stabilize the situation and stabilize the resistance of the descendants of Emperor Huang.

Then, later the nine-tailed fox instigated Emperor Xin to kill Queen Jiang and Duke Dongbo, forcing Jiang Wenhuan to rebel, which cut off an arm of the Shang Dynasty. This was also one of the reasons.

Yin Ziyu paused briefly, gathering his thoughts, and continued, "Earth Emperor Shennong was supported by human teachings. Although he did nothing, sacrifices to him were indispensable. Sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor should naturally be ranked after Fuxi and Shennong. This is also to enhance the luck of the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor. There should be a difference between the two. After all, the number of sacrifices symbolizes the amount of luck flowing in. After the Shang Dynasty ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave, the Emperor of our Shang Dynasty had already formed an alliance with Fuxi, the Heavenly Emperor. This is a relationship of lip and tooth dependence. In the Xia Dynasty, sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor far exceeded those to the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor. This is contrary to etiquette!"

Luoshen listened quietly, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

After a moment, Luo Shen nodded gently, a look of sudden enlightenment on her face: "So that's how it is, but when I went to visit my father, he never mentioned this to me!"

Yin Ziyu said calmly, "In order to protect you, the Emperor made you a god in Luoshui, so you don't participate in the battle of destiny. You must know that this battle of destiny is the most brutal. Even saints will turn against each other. Even the successive emperors of Huoyun Cave will fight to the death. This time I traveled to Chaoge, and I never thought I would meet a fairy. This is our destiny!"

"Mi Fei thanks Fellow Daoist Zi Yu very much. If not for this, Mi Fei would never have realized this!"

Yin Ziyu looked towards the west. "Perhaps, soon, the competition for destiny will become even more intense. Someone might even attack your father, Emperor Fuxi. No matter what, you and I must complete the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the twelve zodiac guardian gods as quickly as possible!"
