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

Chapter 90 The Human Race's Holy Fire Appears
At this time in Chaoge, with the completion of the Zhaixing Tower, Emperor Xin also moved into the Zhaixing Tower with his concubines.

On the top of the Zhaixing Tower, the gilded eaves pierced the clouds. Emperor Xin held Su Daji's waist and looked at the ant-like Chaoge City below him. The black bird pattern on the emperor's robe sparkled in the sunset glow.

"Uncle Emperor's towering Star-Picking Tower truly makes me feel like I'm reaching for the moon! I imagine the Emperor's Sky-High City in Heaven is no more impressive than this!"

Yin Ziyu cupped his hands and said, "It is my duty to share your majesty's worries."

At this time, Fei Zhong said beside him: "Your Majesty is the Human Emperor, and now the Emperor of Heaven is alone, how can he compare with Your Majesty!"

"Hahahaha!"

After hearing this, Emperor Xin burst into laughter. Suddenly, a divine light containing the aura of the Human Emperor appeared in his eyes and instantly shot straight to the Lingxiao Palace on the 33rd floor.

Emperor Haotian of the Sky Palace, feeling the impact of Emperor Xin's gaze on the Sky Palace, roared in anger: "Arrogant!"

Yao Chi, who was standing beside Haotian, asked, "Brother, calm down and don't take it seriously!"

After hearing this, Haotian snorted coldly: "Emperor Xin, you dare to be disrespectful to me, you will be punished one day in the future!"

Now Emperor Xin actually provoked him in such a way, but Haotian could only endure it when he looked at the ruined Heaven.

If he really wanted to fight with Emperor Xin, he might not be his opponent because he was protected by the aura of the Human Emperor. Then the majesty of the Emperor of Heaven, who already did not exist, would be even lower!
The only thing to do is to wait until the Conferred God Ceremony is over before making any plans.

Su Daji, who was standing beside Emperor Xin, lightly twisted the jade hairpin on her temples with her fingertips, and her eyes swept across Yin Ziyu's calm profile.

"What a great Ya Xiang! He is so amazing! His aura of virtue makes me tremble. However, Bigan has always protected the queen. Even if the queen wants me to bring disaster to the country, I still need to get along well with Ya Xiang. Well, I'd better listen to them!"

The two people sent into the palace by Yin Ziyu were earlier than Su Daji, but these two people also had great influence and did not hinder Su Daji, but asked Su Daji not to touch a few people.

Although Yin Ziyu can make the master unconscious, he has to do it within a certain range.

Although Su Daji seemed to be seductive and disruptive to the palace, she was within Yin Ziyu's control.

After all, Su Daji's coming to the palace was Nuwa's proof to the prehistoric world that she could not be desecrated.

Yin Ziyu did not let the two demons tell Su Daji who to persuade Emperor Xin to kill, but told him not to kill anyone. That was enough.

Su Daji had to create a chaotic situation, otherwise Nuwa would lose face.

Yin Ziyu would not touch Su Daji, and Su Daji also avoided Yin Ziyu, which created a balance in the court.

Even if Fei Zhong and You Hun wanted to sow discord, there was nothing they could do.

As for Fei Zhong and You Hun, Yin Ziyu understood that they were pawns arranged by other forces of the saints, but Yin Ziyu also kept these two people. As long as Emperor Xin's mind was under his control, these two people would not cause any big waves. However, many things still needed these two people to do.

At this moment, a golden bell suddenly rang, and the beauty transformed from the jade pipa spirit came over with her silk skirt lifted, and the peach blossom hairpin in her temples trembled with her steps.

"Your Majesty, this Star-Picking Tower should be accompanied by celestial music to live up to its splendor."

Watching the Jade Pipa Fairy performing an alluring dance in the Zhaixing Tower, Emperor Xin naturally laughed heartily with joy.

However, something unexpected happened at this moment. Concubine Huang, who had long since fallen out of favor and had been hiding in a corner, suddenly appeared before Emperor Xin and pointed at him with trembling hands: "You tyrant! You are addicted to wine and women, and you murder loyal officials. You allow a few evil spirits to wreak havoc on the country. Sooner or later, the foundation of the Shang Dynasty will be destroyed by you!"

Unexpectedly, after the queen was killed, Concubine Huang suddenly went crazy, which immediately aroused Emperor Xin's anger!

This made Emperor Xin furious: "You crazy woman, you actually insulted me!"

Concubine Huang roared in anger, "I cannot bear to see Your Majesty being so indulgent. These people are all monsters, everyone knows it, but Your Majesty is the only one who has been deceived by them. How can you be a human emperor at all? The Cheng Tang Dynasty will ultimately be destroyed by Your Majesty!"

"presumptuous!"

Emperor Xin was immediately furious. He grabbed Concubine Huang and threw her directly from the Zhaixing Tower.

Emperor Xin was furious, carrying the power of the Emperor. Even though Concubine Huang came from a family of military honors, she had no way to escape and was smashed to pieces by Emperor Xin!
Yin Ziyu looked at Concubine Huang's sudden impulse, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

However, Yin Ziyu did not say much and did not stop him.

Yin Ziyu now understood: "Perhaps, Concubine Huang's behavior was arranged by someone, just like Empress Jiang. Huang Feihu is probably going to rebel. This junior brother who grew up with Emperor Xin is actually a pawn of the Chan Sect! After Huang Feihu defected to Xiqi, he immediately took charge of the army, and Ji Fa didn't even have the slightest suspicion. After the Conferred God Cultivation, the father and son's high divine status is enough to know all this!"

Yin Ziyu instantly remembered the divine positions of the father and son. Huang Feihu was the Great Emperor Tianqi Rensheng of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak, and Huang Tianhua was Duke Bingling!
Chong Heihu is the Great Emperor Sitian Zhaosheng of Nanyue Hengshan. Their positions as gods are equal, so their identities are also the same.

Then, the two of them are Xiqi's internal accomplices and are of equal level.

After a brief comparison, Yin Ziyu knew some of the secrets contained therein.

Yin Ziyu had known for a long time that countless people had been infiltrated, and the two brothers Weizi and Qi were executed. Naturally, there were others, so the biggest fish was Huang Feihu!
"The Huang Fei's behavior at this time, could it be that Xiqi has decided to rebel?"

Thinking of this, Yin Ziyu immediately said goodbye and went downstairs, leaving Emperor Xin and these people to have fun here.

As for Emperor Xin, Yin Ziyu just wanted him to enjoy himself. In his current situation, enjoying himself was the best outcome.

As soon as Yin Ziyu stepped down the last white jade step, he felt the air suddenly become scorching hot.

A flash of bright red came through the air like a stream of fire, and in the blink of an eye stopped three feet away from Yin Ziyu.

It turned out to be a girl in red. Seeing the girl in red falling to the ground, Yin Ziyu immediately looked at the girl. A blue light flashed in his left eye, but he couldn't see the girl's true form, which made Yin Ziyu stunned.

The young girl raised her lips slyly, "The High Priest's Heart Lamp is indeed powerful, but he still can't see my true form!"

Suddenly, a Dingsi flag appeared in Yin Ziyu's hand, with flames rising from it, which actually echoed with the girl's voice from afar.

In an instant, it was revealed that what was lingering around the girl was not the aura of immortals or demons, but a ball of vibrant red light, just like the rising sun penetrating the clouds at dawn.

"The incarnation of flame, with a holy aura and a spirit of merit, echoes with the Dingsi flag of this phase, could it be..."

The girl was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect her identity to be seen through so quickly. She immediately put her finger to her mouth and said, "Shh, so impressive! You are worthy of being the High Priest and the wisest person of the human race!"

Yin Ziyu looked at the girl and asked, "Why are you here?"

The girl said with a smile: "I have been observing you for a long time in Chaoge, but this is not the place to talk!"

Yin Ziyu nodded: "Come with me!"

Yin Ziyu brought the girl straight to the ritual office.
After returning to the Sacrifice Department, we can basically stop some people from making deductions during the catastrophe period, which used to be done in the ancestral temple.

Luo Shen was stunned when she saw Yin Ziyu bringing back the girl in fiery red clothes. It was the first time she saw Yin Ziyu bringing someone in.

This made Luo Shen surprised and curious.

The girl looked at Mi Fei in front of her and said, "Mi Fei, you have a great opportunity. You have actually received the merit of the Heavenly Dao. Your father is so happy now!"

Mi Fei was stunned when she heard this: "Who are you?"

Yin Ziyu laughed and said, "Human Holy Flame, you actually came to Chaoge? Why did you come here?"

After hearing this, Luo Shen exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, you are the Holy Flame of the human race? Why did you come to Chaoge?"

The girl nodded. "I came to Chaoge because of you. Look, my flame was almost fading. Thanks to your planning, I was given a new life. You two can be said to have saved my life!"

Luo Shen was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

The girl sighed, "When I was in the Fire Cloud Cave, the Emperor had already calculated that the human race was about to face a crisis. As I am the Holy Flame of the human race, I know the fate of the human race best. Later, Emperor Fuxi deduced that the human race had a glimmer of hope and asked me to go to the human race to find a glimmer of hope. I have been in Chaoge for a long time. I have seen everything you do, High Priest. In my heart, you are the glimmer of hope!"

Luo Shen exclaimed, "It was father who sent you to the lower world!"

Holy Fire nodded: "Of course, after the Third Ancestor retired from the world, the three sacred objects were in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor, the Earthly Emperor, the Holy House, and the Human Emperor, the Holy Clothes."

Yin Ziyu asked curiously, "Why are you so sure that the true form is a ray of hope? Many people are calling me a traitor now. Besides, Ji Chang also comprehended the sixty-four hexagrams, so why don't you think it was Ji Chang?"

The girl curled her lips after hearing this: "Ji Chang? You are just a hypocrite. I am the Holy Fire of the human race. Loyalty, treachery and hypocrisy cannot escape the identification of the Holy Fire. Ji Chang is called a great sage, but I can sense the darkness in this person's heart. This dark aura can actually extinguish my flame. I am afraid of meeting this person. Although others call you a treacherous villain, I can feel the infinite light in your heart, especially when you get merit. The strength of this light shocked me, and it really makes me curious. This light is even stronger than the Holy Fire of the human race. Being close to you can make my flames rise. I even want to see what the scene is like in your heart!" After hearing this, Yin Ziyu immediately knew that the perception of this holy fire was indeed powerful.

After my heart has entered a new stage, my heart is bright, what else can I say? At this time, conscience is gathered in my heart, and naturally I am in a completely different situation from Ji Chang!
Ji Chang has already chosen to betray the human race, so when the Holy Fire encounters Ji Chang, it will naturally feel that its own flame is being suppressed even more.

After hearing this, Yin Ziyu said, "So, you think I'm the only hope for humanity. Can you see how dangerous this is?"

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment. "This crisis is different from the ancient demon tribe's extermination of humans. In the ancient times, although there was a crisis, my body was never as weak as it is today. The crisis now is threatening to break the backbone of the human race. Only by seeing you can my flame be revived. Emperor Fuxi asked me to descend to the mortal world, and I became even weaker when I met Ji Chang. Only by seeing you can I survive. Therefore, you are the only hope for the human race!"

Yin Ziyu naturally knew what the future would hold, but he couldn't say a word.

"So, this crisis comes from Ji Chang!"

The girl nodded: "That's right, Ji Chang can make me feel fear, even to the point of almost extinguishing my energy!"

Luo Shen exclaimed, "It really is Ji Chang. Brother Zi Yu said back then that there was something wrong with Xiqi. Now it seems that the future crisis of humanity comes from Xiqi. How should we deal with it now?"

Yin Ziyu looked towards the west: "Perhaps, in the near future, Xiqi will rebel. Today, Concubine Huang suddenly scolded His Majesty and was thrown to death!"

"Ah, Concubine Huang was thrown to death, why would Xiqi rebel?"

Luo Shen suddenly exclaimed.

As Luo Shen finished speaking, a voice rang out: "Huang Feihu is now preparing to flee Xiqi!"

The person who spoke was naturally the Golden Spirit Holy Mother who had been here all the time.

Yin Ziyu took one look and quickly said, "Greetings, Teacher Jin Ling!"

The Golden Spirit Mother looked at the girl and said, "The human race's holy fire has also taken shape! However, you won't be able to maintain this shape for long!"

The girl smiled bitterly: "The human race is in crisis now, which makes my transformation unstable. However, High Priest Zi Yu, please let me go to your inner world to cultivate!"

Yin Ziyu nodded after hearing this: "Alright, come to my mind world to cultivate yourself!"

"Heart Realm?"

Luoshen and the Golden Spirit Mother both looked at Yin Ziyu in surprise.

Yin Ziyu said: "This time, with the help of merit, I was able to understand my own way and also condense the bright heart realm!"

After he finished speaking, Yin Ziyu's mind moved, and a world entrance appeared. The three of them looked at the entrance, and the scene inside was clearly visible.

There is nothing surprising about opening up a small world. It is not popular nowadays. The future Journey to the West period will be the heyday of opening up small worlds. Tathagata has three thousand worlds and countless sentient beings.

Because the opened up world is not the real world, and the primitive world is the only real world.

But Yin Ziyu's world surprised the three of them.

The whole world is a flowing light and shadow woven by the silver-white threads of thoughts. There is no rotation of the sun and the moon here, only the flickering of the fire of the heart to represent day and night. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers can be shrunk to a mustard seed, and the rise and fall of a thought can span thousands of years.

"This time, with the help of merit, I was able to connect and integrate the third orifice of my Seven Apertures Heart, opening up this realm. I call it the Heart Realm. However, it has just been opened up. If the Holy Fire is willing, you can reside here!"

After hearing this, the Holy Flame immediately cheered and said, "Yes, in this heart world, I can indeed feel the extraordinary vitality. Don't worry, since I am the Holy Flame of the human race, I can also help you with many things!"

Yin Ziyu remembered something and immediately asked, "Can you see the change in the Human Emperor?"

The Human Race Holy Flame tilted its head and said, "It seems someone has plotted against it, increasing its demonic nature and suppressing its true nature. However, I am now powerless to break this demonic nature!"

Yin Ziyu was slightly stunned after hearing this. It was indeed as he had judged. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Devilish nature. One thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a devil. Buddha and devil are like yin and yang to each other. Could this be a conspiracy of the West?"

After hearing this, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother exclaimed: "The West, could it be..."

Yin Ziyu said solemnly: "Teacher Jin Ling, I can't say, but since the Holy Fire can be broken, let's wait for the future!"

"it is good!"

After the Holy Fire saw Yin Ziyu's heart realm, it immediately entered into the heart realm, while Yin Ziyu put away his heart realm.

When the news that Concubine Huang was thrown to death by Emperor Xin quickly reached Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng, who was the guardian of the country.

When Huang Feihu heard about the incident at Zhaixing Tower, he roared in anger, "My Huang family has been loyal and righteous for generations, and yet my virtuous sister was thrown to death!"

Huang Feihu's eyes, red with anger, looked towards Zhaixing Tower. "Your Majesty! We were both disciples of Wen Zhong, and we grew up together. Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Huang Tianhua was also filled with grief and anger: "Father! We will return to Chaoge and avenge our aunt!"

Huang Feihu shook his head violently, his palm stroking the plaque on the wall that read "Unparalleled Loyalty and Bravery" bestowed upon him by the late emperor. "My Huang family has been loyal and righteous for generations. It is the incompetent emperor who has wronged our Huang family. We cannot stay in Chaoge for long. Xiqi has a wise ruler and talented people. Let's leave Chaoge and head for Xiqi!"

After Huang Feihu made the decision, the entire Huang family immediately set off for Xiqi.

At this time, Xiqi had also undergone great changes. Shortly after Ji Chang returned to Xiqi, he invited back a fisherman named Jiang Ziya and appointed him as prime minister.

"Ziya, I have a reputation for being a virtuous man. I have devoted my heart and soul to the creation of the sixty-four hexagrams. I never imagined that the treacherous Bigan would surround me and humiliate me. Now I have no chance to seek revenge. I will use this sixty-four hexagram robe to protect me and the Prime Minister. I will trouble the Prime Minister to maintain my reputation after my death!"

Seeing Ji Chang giving him such a treasure, Jiang Ziya's eyes filled with tears.

Recalling his time carrying wood in Chaoge and thinking of Ji Chang's current regard for him, Jiang Ziya knelt and said, "My Lord, I have been grateful to you for your kindness. I will redeem you for your humiliation. I will do my utmost to protect your reputation after your death and will not let treacherous people destroy your reputation!"

"Good, good, good!"

After even saying which good word it was, Ji Chang died suddenly.

Because he was canonized as a sage, his true spirit naturally would not go to the List of Gods, but would directly ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave.

With Ji Chang's death, the reputation he had built up over the years caused the entire Xiqi to burst into mourning, resounding through the sky.

Jiang Ziya holds the divine whip in his hand and the holy robe of merit of the sixty-four hexagrams bestowed by Ji Chang in his hand. This is the holy robe of merit condensed from the merits of Ji Chang's sixty-four hexagrams.

This was also Ji Chang’s last wish!
Jiang Ziya looked at Ji Chang's body and said, "Don't worry, Bo Hou. Ziya will live up to your trust and help Prince Ji Fa ascend the throne! Ziya will also settle the grudge between Bigan and Bo Hou for Bo Hou!"

When the Holy Fire entered Yin Ziyu's mind, the Golden Spirit Mother sighed, "Ziyu, Huang Feihu is my disciple's grandson. I never thought he would defect. How will you respond?"

Speaking of which, Emperor Xin can be regarded as the disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, because Emperor Xin and Huang Feihu are both disciples of Wen Zhong, and Wen Zhong is the direct disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.

Yin Ziyu said, "Teacher Jin Ling, the Xianjiao has been making plans for Huang Feihu for a long time. Huang Feihu is a disciple of Wen Zhong, but Huang Tianhua became a disciple of the Xianjiao. Just like Chong Heihu was originally a disciple of the Jiejiao, but eventually chose to kill his brother to seize the throne and defect to Ji Chang. Now in this great calamity, it can be said that you are in me and I am in you. Many people are actually unreliable. Teacher Jin Ling should be on guard against this!"

Yin Ziyu's words immediately made the Golden Spirit Holy Mother look solemn.

"So, Concubine Huang has been fine for over a decade, yet today she's seeking her own death. This is clearly a premeditated plan!"

Yin Ziyu sighed, "The power to confer gods is in the hands of the Chan Sect. When the time comes, those who die during the calamity can be conferred a great godhood. For some people who have no interest in the great Dao, conferring gods is better than cultivating immortality!"

After hearing this, the Golden Spirit Mother frowned slightly: "Zi Yu, you are right. Those who are not destined to become Daluo Jinxian will at least not reincarnate after being deified. If they practice cultivation, they will face the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man. If these people can become a good god, it is better than becoming an immortal!"

"It's human nature. After all, Daluo is like a chasm that is difficult to cross. It's common sense for some people to seek death in pursuit of a good godhood."

Luo Shen asked, "Brother Ziyu, if Huang Feihu wants to escape, can we stop him?"

Yin Ziyu pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Since they want to escape, they've already made all the necessary preparations. Stopping them is almost impossible. Just like when the two sons of Queen Jiang fled, the Chan Sect's people were clearly ready to meet them. We couldn't stop them at all!"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother asked, "Zi Yu, how about I give it a try?"

Yin Ziyu shook his head after hearing this, then pulled out a piece of intelligence and said, "Teacher Jin Ling, don't take any risks. Huang Feihu is just a nobody. News has come from Chentang Pass that Taiyi Zhenren killed Shiji with the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover!"
