Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 104: Paying Homage to Su Shao Chen as the Teacher of the Human Emperor, Xiqi Struggles for the Imperial Way, and the Righteous God of the State Ranks Below the Holy Mother.

But Shang Wu was wrong this time. If Xiqi was really just a business for one generation, then as Shang Wu said, it was nothing to be afraid of. But if it was a business for generations, and it also had the methods of a sage?

"What dynasty in this world is immortal? Our Great Shang Dynasty has stood firm in the primordial world for ten thousand years without incident. As the emperor, you should have greater achievements and a broader vision. The Great Shang Dynasty is too small. You are not only the king of the Great Shang Dynasty, but also the emperor of the human race. You should consider the entire human race and lead the human race to stand firm in the primordial world. This is what an emperor should do. Don't you see the Xia Dynasty of Emperor Yu?"

Shang Wu's words were like a thunderclap in Tai Mao's ears. After hearing this, Tai Mao respectfully bowed to his junior. "What the ancestor said has enlightened me. But how can we abandon the foundation of our Great Shang ancestor? If I enter the Fire Cloud Cave, the affairs of Great Shang will no longer be my concern..."

"The foundation of the Great Shang Dynasty cannot be abandoned, and we must fight even at the cost of everything. However, entering the Fire Cloud Cave is your best choice. The Great Shang Dynasty still has us." After Shang Wu finished speaking, several more patriarchs appeared.

The Great Shang Dynasty has existed in the prehistoric world for less than ten thousand years, yet within that time it already had nine Taiyi Golden Immortals and twelve peak Golden Immortals. Add to that Shang Wu himself, who was at the initial stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, and it can be said that its accumulation was quite terrifying.

Shang Wu and these elders are all of royal blood from the Great Shang Dynasty. They are the Great Shang Elders Group, which is selected and trained generation after generation, with bloodline as the key!

In the end, Shang Wu persuaded Tai Mao, and after Tai Mao made his decision, he entered the great formation.

He wanted to try again to see if he could subdue the Hongming Blade.

But the result was the same as before; he showed no reaction whatsoever. Even when Tai Mao activated the imperial intent within him, the Hongming Blade remained completely still.

Seeing this, Tai Mao couldn't help but sigh deeply. Perhaps from the moment he chose to live in Huoyun Cave, he would never have the chance to obtain the Hongming Blade again?

…………

On the other side, after the Martial Dao Stele completely transformed into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, Huang Tian rolled up the remaining materials and put them away, returning the fortune of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Four Ancestors of the Human Race, and the current Human Emperor to his body.

The original realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal has fallen to the initial stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal, and the path of humanity has reappeared in various parts of the human race, slowly growing...

He returned to Guanjiangkou, preparing to go into seclusion for a while before traveling through the ancient wilderness for ten thousand years. He was not in a hurry to enter Huoyun Cave.

At the same time, Emperor Yu's voice also rang out.

"combine!"

Instantly, the Nine Cauldrons Barrier reconnected, forming a terrifying array.

At this point, the Emperor attained the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal in martial arts, and humanity was revived, manifesting its power in the primordial world.

The human race's fortune has soared, and the martial arts fortune is flourishing among the human race like dragons and tigers.

Just as the matter of the Heavenly Emperor was over, the voice of Emperor Tai Mao, now blessed by the fortune of the human race, resounded throughout the entire human race.

"I, Tai Mao, have ruled the eight wastelands for a thousand years. I have diligently governed and cultivated virtue, governing the country and caring for the people, bringing great peace to the world. Now I pass the throne to Zhong Ding. His position as emperor shall govern the eight wastelands of humanity, with all the feudal lords of the land submitting to him, so that humanity and the Shang dynasty may prosper!"

Outside the palace of the Shang Dynasty king, a ceremony for the enthronement of the emperor and a sacrificial ceremony are currently being held.

Countless humans, officials of the Shang Dynasty, and Zhong Ding all respectfully bowed to Tai Mao.

At the same time, Shang Tang and Tai Jia (Shang Tang's eldest grandson), who came from Huoyun Cave to escort Tai Mao, also looked at Tai Mao's imposing presence. Shang Tang couldn't help but exclaim, "Tai Mao should be the greatest emperor in the history of our Shang Dynasty. Our Shang Dynasty has a worthy successor."

Taijia agreed with his grandfather, saying, "Taimao has a broad mind and has reached the peak of martial intent. He will have even greater opportunities in the Fire Cloud Cave."

Once Shang Tang and Tai Jia entered the Fire Cloud Cave, they would no longer interfere in the affairs of the Shang Dynasty, not even during the subsequent changes of human dynasties...

Now, after countless years of cultivation, they understand that no dynasty lasts forever, and future generations have their own destiny. The future of the Shang Dynasty depends on these descendants; how far they go is up to their own fate.

……

Zhong Ding's appearance is roughly that of a human in his thirties. For thousands of years, he has cultivated martial arts, and his appearance has remained at the age of thirty. At this moment, he is walking step by step to the highest position, towards the position of the human emperor.

Tai Mao looked at Zhong Ding and patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction. Zhong Ding was the heir to the Human Emperor and had studied literature and governance under Emperor Wenchang. When he returned, he assisted him in managing the Great Shang Dynasty. Tai Mao was extremely reassured by his abilities.

But at this moment, he still gave his final instructions: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. As emperor, you should be diligent in your duties and cultivate virtue, so that the people may live in peace and happiness. You must never abandon the realm of martial arts and strictly guard the legacy of your ancestors. If you encounter any political issues that cannot be decided, you should consult with your ministers."

"We must guard against the traitors of Xiqi. We, the Shang, are the ancestor of Shangwu, who has established our existence and secured our destiny. If any powerful figure tries to disrupt Shang, we should seek out the ancestor and use his influence to suppress all enemies."

"The Great Shang Dynasty may seem vast, but it is also small. It is an independent yet complete world. I believe that within this world of the Great Shang, you can become an unparalleled and supreme ruler!"

"As Empress, you should frequently speak with Emperor Wenchang. Emperor Wenchang and you share a teacher-student relationship, and he also comes from the Jie Sect. When you govern the people and pacify the Nine Provinces, you should also observe the changes in the power dynamics of the primordial world..."

Upon hearing his father's words, Zhong Ding, though somewhat reluctant, nodded firmly, his eyes filled with determination.

Tai Mao also removed the Heavenly Crown, which only the emperors of the Shang Dynasty could wear. The fortune of the Shang Dynasty transformed into a black bird and manifested in the sky above the nine provinces of the human race. The half-form fortune of the human race also transformed into wisps of mysterious Daoist rhyme.

The human race's fortunes fluctuated slightly, causing countless sages from the Fire Cloud Cave to turn their attention to the Great Shang Dynasty.

As Tai Mao placed the Pingtian Crown on Zhong Ding's head, Zhong Ding was immediately blessed with the fortunes of the Shang Dynasty and the human race.

At this moment, the Nine Cauldrons seemed to be awakened as well, causing ripples in the barrier above the Nine Provinces, as if Zhong Ding had become the center of the human race in the Nine Provinces.

After Tai Mao relinquished his human destiny, the aura emanating from him was different from before.

At this moment, Zhong Ding wore the Pingtian Crown, and the fortune of the human race was bestowed upon him, as the will of the Human Emperor manifested in the human race.

A phantom of a new emperor stood in the sky above the Nine Provinces, allowing all humankind to see this somewhat young Emperor Zhong Ding. At this moment, he wore a flat-topped crown and an emperor's robe, on which the images of the Great Shang Dynasty's myriad domains, mountains, rivers, plants, the sun, moon, and stars were faintly visible.

"We pay our respects to the Emperor and bid farewell to Emperor Zhongzong!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Throughout the entire land of the human race, whether human or cultivator, all bowed and paid their respects upon seeing Zhong Ding's body.

The Ji clan of Xiqi also bowed respectfully at this moment, but their eyes could not hide their burning ambition.

"The throne of the Human Emperor rotates, and next year it will be my turn. This Human Emperor Shang can sit, and so can my Xiqi. Today, my Xiqi has the assistance of the Sage of the Chan Sect, and we, the descendants of the future, shall honor the Human Emperor..."

At the same time, the Shang official in charge of the sacrifices proclaimed throughout the human realm, "For nine days, all the feudal lords will pay homage, and the world will submit!"

Countless feudal lords also bowed respectfully, and then began to prepare for the ceremony of paying tribute to the new emperor.

"Excellent. You have created the human race, and your virtue makes you a great sage of the human race. You should enter the Fire Cloud Cave." Taijia looked at his grandson with satisfaction.

With Shang Tang and Tai Jia leading Tai Mao to the Fire Cloud Cave, Tai Mao's era ended, and the era of Zhong Ding began...

……

This commotion was even felt by Su Shao Chen, who was in seclusion. The literary fortune was soaring, especially among the human race, which prompted Su Shao Chen to make some deductions before looking towards the human race's territory.

It turns out that Zhong Ding ascended to the throne of the human emperor and personally went to Longshan to order the widespread construction of temples dedicated to the Wenchang Emperor.

Encourage all people to study literature and martial arts, and send some exceptionally talented individuals to Bixia Mountain to seek the Dao.

Furthermore, on Dragon Mountain, Zhong Ding worshipped Su Shaochen as the teacher of the Human Emperor, whose status was second only to the Holy Mother, and as the righteous god of the state.

Its literary and moral aura was noticed not only by Su Shao Chen, but also by Kong Sheng Sheng and Zhong Hui.
