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

Chapter 9: Plotting against the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
Looking at the two people in front of him, Yin Ziyu was very happy.

Dragon clan, even if it is not Ao Cunxin, Yin Ziyu will find other people from the dragon clan to act as his agent.

Luo Shen's words really made Yin Ziyu happy unintentionally.

The background of Luoshen is that she is the youngest daughter of Fuxi, which involves the relationship between the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Fuxi was from the line of Nuwa and the descendant of the Lich. In order to repay Nuwa for his karma, Laozi promised Fuxi that he would be the first human emperor.

He is also the emperor of the human race.

What Yin Ziyu has to do now is to rely on the ancient human race for the legal system of the Shang Dynasty. Fuxi is the brother of Nuwa, so he will naturally support Yin Ziyu.

The second Emperor of Earth, Shennong, was a descendant of Laozi.

The third emperor of mankind, Huangdi, and the five emperors who followed him all belonged to the school of orthodoxy. Even the Xia Dynasty belonged to the school of orthodoxy.

Shang Tang's seizure of the Xia dynasty was the result of cooperation between Shang Tang and Jiejiao.

Today's Cheng Tang Dynasty seems glorious, but in fact it is in danger. The success or failure of Cheng Tang Dynasty depends not only on the competition of human race, but also on the competition above.

Why is there a scene in Fengshen (Investiture of the Gods) where Emperor Xin blasphemes the goddess Nuwa?

When this incident happened, Cheng Tang's legitimacy was almost completely lost, and the future time would be garbage time.

Now that he had Luoshen, Yin Ziyu would recruit others to join his group and form a community of interests, which would naturally maintain the legitimacy of Cheng Tang's regime.

When Emperor Xin ascended the throne, read the imperial edict, and offered sacrifices to the ancient heroes, Yin Ziyu believed that the saints would definitely be speculating, and even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would be discussing it, and it was impossible for them to just sit there and do nothing.

However, Yin Ziyu judged that even if all parties would discuss the matter, it would not lead to a major war.

However, no matter what, Yin Ziyu must now actively stabilize the situation.

Let the entire situation develop as you expected.

Yin Ziyu would not tell these two people. In the future, the benefits obtained by Luo Shen would encourage the people behind Luo Shen to secretly become his helpers.

After all, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Huoyun Cave themselves have huge differences.

It is estimated that if the Human Emperor Cheng Tang had not entered the Fire Cloud Cave, Fuxi would have been very uneasy.

After all, the entire Huoyun Cave is made up of Xuanyuan’s descendants!

When Yin Ziyu knew that it was Luo Shen, he was happy. With Ao Cunxin also there, it was just the right time to complete one of his plans.

After Yin Ziyu took charge of sacrifices, the divination methods of the entire human race became too primitive.

Ever since Emperor Fuxi created the world with a single stroke of the brush and deduced the Eight Trigrams, a unique group naturally emerged among the human race - the hexagram masters.

At that time, the sixty-four hexagrams were still hidden in the chaos and unclear, but they would come into the world soon!
The perfection of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches will not be truly integrated into the world until the sixty-four hexagrams are reached!

Today, the art of fortune-telling is still in its primitive and pure initial stage.

When fortune-tellers perform divination, yarrow is their crucial medium for communicating with heaven and earth, allowing them to discern the mysteries of the universe. Within the deep, quiet divination room, where incense curls, the fortune-tellers, with solemn expressions, slowly reach into the quaint bamboo tubes containing the yarrow.

The bamboo tube has been rubbed by the years, and its surface texture is delicate and warm, as if carrying the wishes of countless ancestors to explore the unknown.

The fortune tellers gently picked out a handful of yarrow and placed it on the table.

These yarrows are tall and tough, exuding a faint herbal fragrance.

Afterwards, the fortune teller muttered something, and his hands were like nimble butterflies, moving quickly among the yarrow stalks, separating, combining, and arranging them.

As the hands dance, the yarrow gradually takes on a specific combination of shapes, and finally settles into one of the eight trigrams.

The fortune tellers stared at the hexagrams in front of them and then used them to determine good or bad luck. Although this kind of divination was far less complicated and sophisticated than that of later generations, it was able to provide some guidance to people in this chaotic world.

In the future, Ji Chang evolved the sixty-four hexagrams and became a great sage of the human race. Yin Ziyu did not dare to plagiarize the sixty-four hexagrams now.

However, the Ganzhi were only supplemented and improved after the rise of the sixty-four hexagrams.

Moreover, the entire Shang Dynasty itself is named after the Heavenly Stems, and it only needs to be integrated into a system.

It can be said that this opportunity is within Yin Ziyu's reach, so how could he not take it?

Once it is accomplished, there will definitely be great fortune, even merit.

Luo Shen and Ao Cunxin were both curious. Luo Shen asked first, "May I ask Brother Bigan, how should we proceed with this matter?"

Yin Ziyu smiled faintly: "The father of Luoshen is the Emperor Fuxi. He used the Eight Trigrams to prove his truth. Naturally, he knew that the Five Elements were the foundation of this ancient world."

Luoshen nodded, "That's right. Father, in the Eight Trigrams, Qianze represents gold, Kungen represents earth, Zhenxun represents wood, Kan represents water, and Li represents fire. This is because the Five Elements are the origin of the universe, and the Five Elements are the foundation of all things!"

Yin Ziyu nodded: "That's right, and the Ten Heavenly Stems are also like this, but they are more refined than the Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams are the ancestors of the essence of the Five Elements, but they still need to be supplemented to perfect this way. Jia is Yang Wood, which is thunder in the sky and trees on the ground. Yi is Yin Wood, which is wind in the sky and flowers and plants on the ground. Bing is Yang Fire, which is the sun in the sky and furnace fire on the ground. Ding is Yin Fire, which is stars in the sky and fireworks on the ground. Wu is Yang Earth, which is rosy clouds in the sky and mountains on the ground. Ji is Yin Earth, which is clouds in the sky and fields on the ground. Geng is Yang Metal, which is the moon in the sky and weapons on the ground. Xin is Yin Metal, which is frost in the sky and pearls and jade on the ground. Ren is Yang Water, which is the Milky Way in the sky and rivers, lakes and seas on the ground. Gui is Yin Water, which is dew in the sky and streams on the ground. These ten Heavenly Stems are the more refined essence of the Five Elements!"

After hearing this, Luo Shen couldn't help but ponder deeply: "What Fellow Daoist Bigan said is very true. The Ten Heavenly Stems have been passed down since ancient times. My father comprehended the Eight Trigrams through the River Map and the Luoshu. The name of the Heavenly Stems also often appears on innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots. This is the great way of the ancient world, containing the ultimate truth of the ancient world!"

Yin Ziyu nodded and said, "That's right. In my opinion, the origin of the heavens is the pure and spiritual energy, the origin of the netherworld is the heavy and turbid energy, and the origin of the primitive world is the five elements. The five elements dominate the primitive world, and the five elements also dominate the fate of all living beings in the primitive world!"

Luo Shen was immediately surprised after hearing this: "The Five Elements control the fate of all living things in the prehistoric world? Is this really the case?"

Yin Ziyu replied confidently, "Indeed, if Luoshen is willing, you can serve as the Grand Shang Sacrifice Director and offer less sacrifices! Fairy, as the daughter of the Emperor, this position is only natural. This will help me perfect the laws governing the operation of the Five Elements of the Primordial Realm!"

At this moment, Ao Cunxin asked in surprise, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, how does this relate to the guardian gods of the twelve zodiac animals?"

After hearing this, Yin Ziyu looked into the distance with a distant gaze!

"If there are Heavenly Stems, there must be Earthly Branches. The Heavenly Stems must have a foundation. Therefore, I want to perfect the twelve Earthly Branches to complement the ten Heavenly Stems. This will perfect the transformation of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, forming a sixty-year cycle. Then the laws governing the operation of the Five Elements will also be perfected! The twelve Earthly Branches will only need to be combined with the twelve guardian gods!"

At this moment, Yin Ziyu has at least created a complete set of stems and branches, which can further enable him to control the law of the five elements, and the law of the five elements can help him comprehend yin and yang. By knowing that the essence of the prehistoric world is the five elements and yin and yang, he can have a ladder to reincarnation and destiny!
