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

Chapter 4 Emperor Xin ascends the throne, the first edict!
I, Emperor Xin, have ascended the throne of the Human Emperor, received the mandate of Heaven, and rule over all the realms. I should reflect on the roots of the human race and trace back to the glory of the past.

Today I issue the first decree concerning the important matter of offering sacrifices to the ancient human race.

Thinking back to our ancient human race, the Holy Mother Nuwa created humans, and they began to develop spiritual intelligence and make their mark in the world.

At that time, although various tribes in the ancient times emerged, our human race was intelligent and diligent, and we overcame all difficulties and gradually became a powerful force.

They gathered tribes to establish states, created writing to pass on the torch, promoted agriculture to fill granaries, and established etiquette to clarify human relations.

Its wise ones devote themselves to understanding the truth and comprehend the principles of heaven and earth;
The brave men wield sharp weapons and wear armor to protect the safety of their clan and land.

There are also human ancestors who can move mountains and fill the sea, and change the world.

There are many Daluo Jinxian, which makes the immortal path of the human race flourish and become the third tribe in the prehistoric world.

For a time, the human race prospered and shone brightly. Talented people emerged in large numbers, and countless heroes emerged. Their reputation spread far and wide, and they were respected by all races.

However, the demons are rampant and brutal. They covet the prosperity of the human race and want to kill them all in order to dominate the world.

Then the whole clan came to attack, bloody storm broke out, and the flames of war spread across the country.

Although the ancient human race rose up to resist bravely and fearlessly, the demon race was powerful, their methods were strange, and they were unscrupulous in their slaughter.

After this battle, the ancient human race almost suffered a devastating disaster, the country was broken, the people were devastated, and all the members of the tribe were killed or injured. The former prosperity turned into ruins and desolate.

Fortunately, the Xuanyuan Sword exists in the world. This sword was forged by the demon race with the essence of hundreds of millions of ancient human cultivators, and it carries the indomitable will of our human race.

The spirit of the ancient human race is all gathered in the Xuanyuan Sword, and has been silent for many years.

As the Emperor of Mankind, I bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the human race. How dare I forget the heroic sacrifices and profound legacy of the ancient human race?

Today, I hereby issue this decree, ordering the whole country to build a grand sacrificial site to commemorate the souls of the ancient human race in the Xuanyuan Sword.

We wish to use the sincerity of the Great Shang to comfort the heroic spirits of our ancestors, and pray that they will protect our human race, bring us continued blessings, and continue our glory.

I should govern diligently, lead the human race, strive for strength and progress, revive the glory of the past, and live up to the expectations of the ancient human race.

Now that this decree has been issued, I hope that all officials and people will work together to make this a success, so as to demonstrate our determination to respect our ancestors and not forget our roots.

After Emperor Xin ascended the throne, he immediately read out his first edict.

Yin Ziyu listened quietly. This edict was written by himself, and it contained countless things. Now it was still called Xuanyuan Sword, and it was not the time to change its name yet.

However, Yin Ziyu added some key points in the edict!
The first point is that thinking about the roots of the human race and tracing back to past glory is in itself a challenge to the order of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but it is not expressed explicitly. Instead, it is testing the transformation of the human race's legal system.

The legal tradition inherited from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors began to shift towards the ancient human race.

The second point is that our ancient human race owes its creation to the Holy Mother Nuwa. This point can be said to be leaving aside anyone other than Nuwa, and all the shackles on the human race's head have been removed.

The third point is that in the ancient human period, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had already done these things, and to add to that the prosperity of the ancient human race's immortal path, this itself was an invisible impact during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period.

Fourthly, the ancient human spirit had been trapped within the Xuan-Yuan Sword for ages, remaining silent until now. This in itself was a challenge to the legitimacy of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' order. All of these points were included, but Yin Ziyu hadn't expressed them directly. Naturally, they were dissatisfied, but they had no way to refute it, nor could they question its correctness.

Therefore, this edict was a test. If it was issued on the first day, the fifteenth day would not be far away.

This was Yin Ziyu's first conspiracy against the prehistoric world since he traveled through time.

Yin Ziyu knew that in this ancient world, conspiracies and tricks could not cause any trouble and were not acceptable in the upper class. The only thing that could be done was to make open plans and take honest actions.

"Your Majesty is wise! Upon ascending the throne, you've managed to recall the tragic past of the ancient human race. In those days, humanity was so glorious, cultivating immortality and seeking the truth, prospering to the extreme. Yet, they were ruthlessly slaughtered by the demons and nearly wiped out. Your Majesty now wishes to honor the spirits of our ancestors within the Xuan-Yuan Sword. This is to allow the heroic spirits of our race to rest in peace. It is truly a great act of kindness!"

"That's right. I often hear the elders in my family tell stories of the ancient human race. Those ancestors were brave and fearless, fighting against the demons with their flesh and blood to protect our human race. Your Majesty's actions remind us where we come from. In the future, we must follow Your Majesty and restore the glory of our human race!"

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, who had not participated in Yin Ziyu's decision-making on state policy, also had a look of approval in his eyes. He stroked his long beard and said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, upon ascending the throne, has been concerned with the roots of the human race. This demonstrates extraordinary foresight and responsibility. Offering sacrifices to the ancient human race not only comforts the spirits of our ancestors, but also unites the hearts of all the people of the Shang Dynasty and the human race."

After saying this, Wen Zhong turned to look at Prime Minister Shang Rong beside him. Shang Rong nodded slightly, smiling, and added, "Grand Master, you are absolutely right. Your Majesty's decree is of profound significance. The ancient human race achieved remarkable success in the path of immortality. Although they suffered great adversity, their indomitable spirit will live on forever. Offering sacrifices to them is a way for the Great Shang to honor our ancestors and remember the ancient times."

Almost everyone failed to understand the deeper meaning of this edict at the moment.

However, it was indeed praised.

This is a political correctness that no one will object to and no one can question.

Anyone who has doubts would ask why we still remember the hatred of the ancient human race, but cannot offer sacrifices to the souls of the ancient human race?
Offering sacrifices to the ancient dead could easily shake the order of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Therefore, this matter was always ignored from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Xia Dynasty.

When Shang Tang conquered Xia, he also continued the legal tradition of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

However, now that the Shang Dynasty is in danger, changes should be made.

However, the ministers discussed it and thought it was natural.

Yin Ziyu looked at the Xuanyuan Sword. Suddenly, an inexplicable and powerful force from the Xuanyuan Sword surged into Yin Ziyu's brows.

Yin Ziyu immediately mobilized this power and began to gather it in his heart!
The heart with seven orifices is shaped like a celestial sphere carved from glass, with the seven holes corresponding to the positions of the Big Dipper.

Chaotic energy of different colors flows in every hole!

When this overwhelming power surged in, Yin Ziyu took a deep breath: "Three days later, I will come here again. Perhaps I can use my Seven Apertures Heart to break the Heavenly Pivot Aperture!"

Although Bi Gan had a very smart mind, he never thought about developing this talent.

After Yin Ziyu traveled through time, the young man began to practice, seek immortals, and began to use his seven-orifice exquisite heart.

After visiting many famous teachers, Yin Ziyu has basically understood everything!

If you want to achieve your own way, you must first open up the seven orifices. To open up the seven orifices, the methods of the three religions are not feasible. You have to rely on yourself!
When Yin Ziyu was talking with Emperor Yi, he proposed that the method suitable for him to open the seven orifices was the method of cultivating the mind, that is, there is nothing outside the mind, and the mind is refined through things.
