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

Chapter 143 Emperor Yi Entrusts His Son to the Throne and Bestows the Golden Whip upon the King of Strike; The Sages of Fire Cloud Cave Enter Tribulation to Defy Heaven, Man Will Conquer Heaven!

"Humanity inherits the status of the protagonist of the Great Primordial Era and is valued by the Heavenly Dao. This is not my will, but the will of Heaven and the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. You have nothing to worry about."

"Fellow Daoists of Fire Cloud Cave, even if they knew, they wouldn't blame you, so you can rest assured."

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Ji Chang fell into deep thought. Seeing that Ji Chang was interested, Haotian smiled and said, "Then you can consider it first. You can come to me at any time when you have made a decision."

"This is the essence of the stars, which can be used to restore the soul. It should be of use to you."

As Haotian spoke, he waved his sleeve, and strands of star essence appeared above Ji Chang's head. Then, like quicksand, they fell into his body, causing Ji Chang's damaged soul to begin to slowly recover.

Although the essence of the stars is not abundant and its effects may not be very obvious, it gave Ji Chang hope and made him understand the meaning behind Haotian's actions.

After Haotian's figure disappeared, Ji Chang fell into endless contemplation, his expression filled with hesitation and inner conflict...

Finally, he let out a deep sigh, his gaze seemingly hardening. "Since we're going to start this, let Ji Chang be the sinner. When the supreme ruler is established, Ji Chang will commit suicide to atone for his sins..."

The wise men of Huoyun Cave looked solemnly at the fate of the human race. The sudden drop in fate seemed to make all the humans feel the lament of fate.

That was a fall in status, a fall in the fortune that humanity held in the primordial world.

"Yan!" Fuxi held the Luoshu and gave a soft shout.

The Kongtong Seal, empowered by the eternal fortune of the human race, unleashed boundless profound meaning. The Earth Emperor Shennong, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, the Five Emperors, and the Five Ancestors of the human race all joined forces to unfold the secrets of the heavens.

At this moment, a glimpse of heavenly secrets appeared before the eyes of the ancient sages of humanity, allowing them to understand the reason for the great change in the fate of humankind.

"Heaven is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Our human race, since its emergence from the primordial chaos, has conquered the world with its bare fists, battling against all races, and standing on the shores of the East Sea. Without the help of sages or great powers, we have relied on human determination to overcome Heaven!"

"Now our human race has passed on the martial arts and reached its peak, but the Heavenly Dao wishes to diminish our human race's fortune and strip us of our Human Emperor's position. Since that is so, we should fight!"

Suirenshi's voice was filled with vicissitudes and profoundness. He was the first ancestor of the human race, and together with Ziyishi and Youchaoshi, he witnessed the development of the entire human race.

This course of Heaven's will is something that other human races cannot accept, much less follow.

"Heaven is unjust, forcing me to go against the tide. If that is so, my Fire Cloud Cave shall also face calamity!" Emperor Yu's voice was filled with boundless imperial majesty, and his fighting spirit soared to the heavens.

"Good, that's how it should be. The human race's fortune is complete, and the Ninth Emperor should be born. Since our birth, we have already had the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The Ninth Emperor should be the ruler of the world and bring great fulfillment to the human race's fortune. If the Ninth Emperor does not appear this time and instead the emperor takes the throne, the human race's fortune will be damaged." Fuxi's voice was gentle, but at this moment it also gave people a faint sense of killing intent.

"The throne of the Human Emperor must be preserved regardless of the general trend of humanity. Anyone who diminishes the fortune of our human race is an enemy of the human race," Yao said with a firm gaze.

When the sages of Huoyun Cave chose this place to enter the tribulation and went against the way of heaven, the sages of the primordial world also felt something. Taiqing Laozi of Shouyang Mountain glanced at the human race and then stopped paying attention.

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, as if the human race were nothing more than ants in his eyes, and he did not care about the human race's choice at all.

On Jin'ao Island, after sensing the choices of the human sages, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but laugh loudly, "All those who defy the Dao are my fellow Daoists!"

Meanwhile, in Chaoge City, Huang Tian had already relayed the news of the Fire Cloud Cave to Su Shao Chen.

When Su Shao Chen heard about the grand trend of Heaven's will, which proposed that the human race should reside as emperors, he couldn't help but think of the Heavenly Court.

This great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods took the human race as the stage, the sages and their disciples as the chessboard, and the Heavenly Court as the beneficiary, not only filling the gaps in the divine positions but also indirectly weakening the human race's fortune...

The rulers of the Shang Dynasty all resided as the Human Emperor, but it's hard to say about Ji Chang.

Bo Yikao is the reincarnation of the Ziwei deity, from the Heavenly Court's camp. Ji Chang's foundation has been severely damaged this time, and if nothing unexpected happens, the deal between him and Haotian should be a deal to have him reside as the emperor...

This isn't a bad thing for the Great Merchant, at least they still have the support of Huoyun Cave!

Since the battle between Di Yi and Ji Chang, Shang Wu has exhausted countless resources of the Shang Dynasty, yet still failed to cure Di Yi. The same is true for Su Shao Chen. Moreover, Di Yi is already showing signs of dying, and his aura is growing weaker day by day.

If it weren't for the protection of human fortune, Emperor Yi would probably perish in the primordial world in an instant.

On this day, Emperor Yi, wearing a flat-topped crown and the robe of the Human Emperor, appeared in the Human Emperor's Palace, and the Great Shang Dynasty's Qi Yun Xuan Niao (mysterious bird) also let out a mournful cry.

All the officials of the Shang Dynasty knew that the king was about to die and was about to give his final instructions.

Di Xin, Wei Zi Qi, and Wei Zi Yan all had bloodshot eyes and were breathing heavily. They looked at their father with reluctance and unwillingness.

Before the Emperor, Emperor Yi coughed several times, speaking with difficulty, "After my death, the throne of the Human Emperor will be inherited by my son. I hope the Imperial Tutor will devote much effort, the Ancestor will provide much guidance, and all the ministers will offer much assistance. On behalf of the Great Shang and the human race, I thank you all!"

"Furthermore, Wen Zhong is hereby granted the title of Martial Minister and Grand Tutor of the Great Shang Dynasty. He will enjoy the national fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty, and will not bow to the king. He will be given a golden whip to strike the king, which can be used to strike the tyrannical ruler of our Great Shang Dynasty and to strike the treacherous ministers."

"By imperial decree, Bi Gan is appointed as the Second Prime Minister of our Great Shang Dynasty, to assist the Emperor in governing the country and caring for the people, and to manage the Great Shang. He is also granted a golden token of immunity from death!"

After Emperor Yi finished speaking, he forcibly drew upon the human race's fortune, and a golden whip appeared in front of him. The Daoist essence gathered from the Emperor's position and the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty immediately surged into the golden whip.

Instantly, the golden whip unleashed a powerful imperial aura, seemingly capable of ignoring everything and striking down the tyrannical ruler and treacherous officials of the Shang Dynasty.

The fate of the human race, the destiny of the Shang Dynasty, the throne of the human emperor, and the long-cherished wish of Emperor Yi have all been added to the King-Beating Golden Whip. All future rulers of the Shang Dynasty can be struck with this whip!

When Di Xin saw this, he was taken aback. Then, as if he understood his father's meaning, he could no longer hold back his grief and went directly to Di Yi to cry.

Seeing Di Xin's expression, Di Yi stroked Di Xin's face with satisfaction and then said softly, "From now on, the fate of the Shang Dynasty rests on your shoulders. Do not let the Shang Dynasty down, and do not fail the throne of the Emperor!"

After resting for a while, Emperor Yi conjured up another imperial pardon, and then both items fell into the hands of Wen Zhong and Bigan.

Emperor Yi didn't know why he did this; it was as if he was destined to do it...

After doing all this, Emperor Yi rose from his throne, his aura changed, as if all his injuries had been healed at this moment, and a rich imperial majesty swept across the entire Shang Dynasty.

The mournful cry of the Great Shang Black Bird pierced the heavens, and Emperor Yi's voice, filled with imperial majesty, resounded in the Human Emperor's Palace.

"Where is Emperor Xin?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Di Xin suppressed his boundless grief and bowed deeply, saying, "Di Xin is here. What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"I hereby order you to sit upon the throne, to be worshipped by all officials, and by all the people of the nine provinces!" Emperor Yi's voice, filled with boundless anticipation, rang out.
