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

Chapter 183 Houtu intervenes in human affairs, Kong Xuan becomes the protector of the Shang Dynasty's destiny, and Emperor Xin's enlightenment.

Upon hearing Di Xin's words, the four barbarian tribes living in the four corners of the Nine Provinces all looked solemnly at the Nine Provinces and then ordered, "The people of today are said to be powerful and formidable; retreat ninety million miles and never approach the Nine Provinces for ten thousand years!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing their ancestor's command, the people of the four barbarian tribes immediately led their people away from the Nine Provinces.

The current Human Emperor is able to cultivate and has even broken through to the same level as the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Such an existence has never existed since Emperor Yu established the Xia Dynasty. This is a great change for the human race, and also a change in the general trend of human affairs. They absolutely cannot resist it!

Upon hearing Di Xin's words, Ji Chang remained expressionless. "Order the army to be on standby at any time. When Di Xin holds his grand sacrifice, that will be the time for our Xiqi to rise up!"

"yes!"

…………

Just as the entire human race was in turmoil, Di Xin, who had just broken through to the next level, was sitting in the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, asking Su Shao Chen one question after another, as if all his questions could be answered by Su Shao Chen...

Just as Di Xin asked when to launch a campaign against Xiqi, Su Shao Chen did not answer. Instead, he waved his sleeve, and the Imperial Tutor's Mansion seemed to transform into a blessed land.

The Seven-Row Ruler unleashed a Daoist aura of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, enveloping the entire Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and concealing all heavenly secrets.

Di Xin also sensed this aura that was closely related to the Shang Dynasty, and couldn't help but look over with some curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist's arrival here today is truly the best opportunity," Su Shao Chen's voice rang out with a faint smile.

Kong Xuan's calm figure appeared in front of Su Shao Chen and Di Xin.

"Kong Xuan greets fellow Daoist and the Human Emperor."

"I have met you, fellow Daoist. May I ask who you are? How come I can sense the destiny of my Great Shang Dynasty in you..." Di Xin asked after the three met.

"Haha, why did Lord Tang of Shang use the totem of the Shang state in the past? This is why," Su Shaochen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Di Xin immediately recognized Kong Xuan's identity. Su Shao Chen continued, "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan is the son of Zu Feng. His subjugation of Shang in the past had its own karmic consequences with the Shang Dynasty."

"This is also why Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan and the Great King have gathered here." As Su Shao Chen spoke, he took out a few top-grade Da Hong Pao tea leaves and used divine fire to boil the innate spiritual water. Instantly, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was filled with countless profound Daoist charms.

Di Xin took a deep breath of the profound Daoist rhyme, as if he had gained some enlightenment from his martial arts cultivation. Kong Xuan, a quasi-saint, couldn't help but take a deep look at Su Shao Chen.

Su Shao Chen actually possessed more than one of these top-grade innate spiritual treasures and top-grade innate spiritual roots; truly a stroke of good fortune!

"Please!" A moment later, cups of tea were served in front of Di Xin and Kong Xuan.

"I won't stand on ceremony, I'll try the Imperial Tutor's tea." Di Xin was no longer reserved, and he no longer had the majesty of an emperor. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, martial arts laws swirled around his body, and his original aura as a beginner in martial arts and his understanding of martial arts laws had greatly improved, even making his aura several degrees stronger than before.

Kong Xuan became much more elegant. After tasting the tea, his eyes lit up. His Phoenix Clan also possessed top-grade innate spiritual roots, but their effects were completely different from those of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao...

Seeing that Di Xin had drunk his tea in one gulp, Su Shao Chen refilled his cup. When Di Xin drank his second cup, the effect was much less. Then, Di Xin sipped his tea and chatted with Su Shao Chen and Kong Xuan.

The Imperial Tutor summoned this son of the esteemed Ancestral Phoenix not simply for a casual discussion, but likely because it relates to the Great Shang Dynasty.

As expected, after a brief chat, Su Shao Chen got down to business: "Fellow Daoist, the cause and effect between you and the Great Shang is close, originating from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, there is a great struggle in the human world, and the Heavenly Dao has the intention to destroy the Shang. When the Phoenix Clan entered the great struggle in the human world in the past, they were already involved in the cause and effect. The cause and effect should be eliminated at this time."

"Therefore, I now invite you, fellow Daoist, for a chat to resolve this karmic debt. Afterwards, wouldn't we be free and unfettered by the Great Dao?"

Kong Xuan nodded in agreement upon hearing Su Shao Chen's words. He had lived in the land of the human race since birth, and most of the land was in the land of the Phoenix Clan, which had entered the world at the beginning of the Shang Dynasty. Since the Phoenix Clan inherited the fortune of the human race, it also had its own cause and effect.

As the son of the ancestral phoenix, he held a noble position within the phoenix clan and naturally had to bear the consequences of his actions with the Shang Dynasty.

"I now have a method: Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan will only serve as the protector of the Shang Dynasty's national fortune during the reign of Emperor Xin, sharing in the rise and fall of the Shang Dynasty's destiny. When the great struggle of humanity ends, regardless of the Shang Dynasty's fate, the Phoenix Clan, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, and the Shang Dynasty will have all their karmic ties severed. Furthermore, the Shang Dynasty's totem will no longer be revered as the Black Bird. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan agrees with this? Does Your Majesty find my words acceptable?"

"Yes, I will accept the position of guardian of the Shang Dynasty's destiny during the reign of Emperor Xin." Kong Xuan agreed immediately upon hearing Su Shao Chen's words.

The struggle for the fate of humanity will last at most tens of thousands of years. For him, tens of thousands of years is just a blink of an eye. After settling the karmic debts, he can then choose to return to the Phoenix Clan or travel the prehistoric world without any restrictions...

Upon hearing the Imperial Tutor's words, Di Xin nodded. "Excellent, naturally the most suitable. Di Xin greets the Protector!"

Although Di Xin said there was no problem, he already had a premonition that even if his Shang Dynasty won the struggle for the future of humanity, it would not be the same Shang Dynasty as before.

The Black Bird totem has accompanied the Shang Dynasty for 100,000 years and has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. When the great struggle of humanity ended, the totem of the Shang Dynasty was no longer the Black Bird. So, did the Shang Dynasty win or lose?

Could Emperor Xin truly honor the ninth emperor of the human race?

In that instant, Di Xin couldn't help but scrutinize the situation, and that familiar voice rang in his ears again: "The Earthly Sovereign is your best choice, and the Earth Goddess Houtu is your Shang Dynasty's final choice!"

"The Phoenix Clan's entry into the Shang Dynasty began with the original workings of Heaven, but now the Shang Dynasty has defied Heaven's will, and its fate will no longer follow the original order of Heaven. When the great struggle of humanity ends, your Great Shang Dynasty can no longer use the Black Bird totem. It is clear that everything in this mysterious world has its own destiny. This is not the way of Heaven, nor the way of Earth, but is determined by the will of the primordial world!"

"Yes, I should have thought of this long ago..." Di Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In this great struggle for humanity, the Shang Dynasty also had no winners or losers; it would simply disappear into the primordial world over time, just like the Xia Dynasty.

Perhaps in the end his Shang Dynasty will still exist in the primordial world, but it will definitely not be the land of the human race's Nine Provinces anymore...

For a moment, his consciousness seemed to appear in a mysterious space, and he suddenly appeared there without even the passage of time around him.

A proud and aloof figure appeared before Di Xin. This figure, simply by appearing before Di Xin, seemed to represent all the great Dao.

He tried hard to see the other person's face clearly, but no matter what he did, he couldn't see through the other person at all, not even the hazy layer in front of the other person.

"Emperor Xin pays respects to the Sage!" Emperor Xin knew who the Sage was, but this was the first time he had witnessed the Sage's methods!

"This is one of my divine consciousnesses. Every day, I will teach you the methods of the Earthly Path. You can combine your own methods of the Imperial Path with the Earthly Path and cultivate the will of the Earthly Emperor. This will be a great help to your cultivation. When you reach the high level of martial arts, or even the peak of martial arts, you can refine your essence blood and reach the middle level of the Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos Path."
