Primordial Chaos: A return of ten thousandfold! Sage, please die!

The cold voice echoed in the hall.

Upon hearing Fei Zhong's words, You trembled all over and suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Colluding with the demon race to bring disaster to the Shang Dynasty?"

They looked at Daji in disbelief, then at Di Xin's cold eyes.

"I'm innocent, Your Majesty!"

"We have absolutely no intention of harming the Shang Dynasty."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, spare us! We have accompanied you all the way from the Eastern Palace, and we have never had the slightest intention to deceive you. Heaven have mercy..."

Seeing that Fei Zhong and You Hun were still kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Di Xin impatiently waved his hand and said, "Why aren't you taking them out?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing the order, the guards outside the palace rushed in, dragged the two doctors off the ground, and carried them outside.

"Spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!"

......

"Di Xin, you are a foolish and incompetent ruler who unjustly killed your ministers. You will not die a good death..."

The sounds of struggle gradually faded into the distance.

At this moment, Di Xin, now fully composed, looked at Daji, whose body was trembling slightly, and chuckled.

"Su Daji, what do you have to say now?"

The nine-tailed fox spirit Su Daji, meeting Emperor Xin's gaze in fear, trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I...I don't understand what you mean."

"Where did this demon come from? I am a human from the Xuanyuan clan of Qingqiu. I, I..."

Seeing that Su Daji was still trying to argue, Su Yuan snorted and interrupted, "Hmph, still pretending."

"Don't think that just because you've transformed into a human, I can't do anything to you."

Before Daji could dodge, Di Xin suddenly attacked, and his celestial magic power instantly transformed into a chain of celestial energy, binding Daji's body.

"Huh, you still haven't turned back into your original form? In that case, I'll lock you up for a few days and see how long you can hold out."

In an instant, Su Daji, the nine-tailed fox spirit, was captured and imprisoned by Emperor Xin as soon as she arrived at the Emperor's Palace.

Fei Zhong and You Hun, imprisoned and awaiting execution the next day, have had their original destinies completely altered.

In the blink of an eye.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

The next day.

After a day's journey, Jiang Ziya finally returned to Kunlun Mountain.

The mountain was filled with primordial spiritual energy that swirled into mist, and the essence of stars cascaded down like waterfalls. As one ventured deeper into the forest, one could see sacred cliffs and immortal cypress trees, as well as jade flowers and precious plants, all exuding fragrance.

White cranes cry among the pines, and black deer drink by the stream.

Seeing these familiar fairy mountains and blessed lands, Jiang Ziya was filled with envy and sighs.

"Such a sacred and blessed place, I wish I could stay here forever."

"Unfortunately, my master said that I was born with a weak fate and no opportunity to become an immortal; I can only enjoy the blessings of the mortal world."

"Alas!" Jiang Ziya sighed and shook his head regretfully.

"Enough, enough. As long as I can do a good job in the conferment of godhood for my teacher this time, I might be able to receive guidance from my master again in my next life and gain a chance at immortality."

Jiang Ziya moved with the speed of the wind.

Soon they arrived at the summit of Kunlun, in front of the Jade Void Palace, hidden deep in the sea of ​​clouds.

Above the palace gate, shrouded in ethereal mist, hangs a plaque inscribed with the three characters "Yu Xu Palace".

A Daoist aura, formed at the dawn of creation, was silently circulating around the Jade Void Palace.

Jiang Ziya arrived at the palace gate, knelt respectfully facing inside, cupped his hands and begged for permission, saying, "Disciple Jiang Ziya has returned from the mountain and has something to ask of my master."

Just as he finished speaking...

The gates of Jade Void Palace opened wide, and suddenly a clear light and purple aura broke through the chaotic winds on the mountain peak, revealing Jiang Ziya, with his white hair and silver beard billowing, arriving deep inside the palace.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun sat upright on the cloud platform as if he were the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. His appearance was quite similar to that of Laozi.

He had his hair tied up with a jade crown, his face was as white as jade, his eyes held the myriad phenomena of the Milky Way, and his body was surrounded by purple aura, exuding a natural Daoist charm.

"What is it?"

Yuanshi looked down at Jiang Ziya, his expression dignified and imposing, and asked in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Ziya's heart tightened, and he quickly recounted what he had seen and heard during his trip down the mountain, deducing who had told him.

"Reporting to Master, a few days ago, after I was ordered to descend the mountain, the Marquis of Xibo went to Chaoge to pay homage to King Zhou. However, according to my calculations, the star of the Western Zhou emperor is dim, and Ji Chang will not suffer imprisonment or execution."

"But the Shang dynasty's fate was not yet exhausted. King Zhou's imperial star shone brightly, and there was a strange phenomenon of a trapped dragon ascending to heaven."

"After observing for several days, I have been using my Heavenly Eye to observe secretly. I have seen the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty rise like clouds soaring into the sky, like oil being poured into a raging fire. With such a situation, the Western Zhou Dynasty is truly not destined to have an emperor. I fear that there may be unforeseen changes in the campaign against King Zhou, so I have returned to the mountain gate to ask my master for guidance."

After listening to Jiang Ziya's explanation...

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and softly rebuked, "Nonsense."

"Supporting Xiqi, replacing Shang with Zhou, and completing the conquest of Zhou and the investiture of gods—this was something that I and the other sages had decreed before our ancestor. How could such a change have occurred..."

However, Yuanshi Tianzun could not continue speaking after only half of his words.

Who is he? He is one of the Three Pure Ones, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. He is a disciple of Hongjun Daozu, and can observe the sun, moon and stars and understand all things in the primordial world with a thought. He is a saint of the Chan Sect.

After listening to Jiang Ziya's words, he sensed an opportunity and a great web of fate, formed by numerous causes and conditions, appeared in his palm.

As the eyes of the Primordial Celestial Venerable opened and closed, the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao quietly shifted.

All the uncertainties of a great merchant are determined by one's own will.

However, the calamities that should have been caused by King Zhou's incompetence, such as the rebellion of the feudal lords, Daji's calamity, and Bigan's disembowelment, have become a new, tangled force, completely out of control.

"not good."

"How dare you, you brat!"

The expression on Yuanshi Tianzun's face suddenly changed.

He painstakingly calculated for a thousand years, using the rise and fall of human dynasties as a chessboard, and used the war between Shang and Zhou to complete the killing and establish the divine positions. Now, the chess pieces have all jumped out of their positions on their own!

With a fierce shout, Yuanshi was enraged and smashed the jade ruyi against the cloud bed, causing the entire Kunlun Mountain to tremble.

In an instant, the sage's anger caused the heavens and earth to change color. Cranes were startled and flew away from the cliffs of Kunshan, and golden lotuses in the Eight Treasures Pond collapsed. The twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect all sensed this and looked in the direction of the Jade Void Palace in bewilderment.

Seeing that the master was angry.

Jiang Ziya knelt nervously in the Jade Void Palace, not daring to utter a sound.

"Su Yuan?"

"Who exactly are you?!"

"In such a short period of time, not only did he break through from a mere mortal to an immortal Golden Immortal, but he also helped the people of the Great Shang Dynasty transcend the karmic cycle of fate..."

Muttering to himself, Yuanshi continued his deductions, completely ignoring Jiang Ziya.

After realizing that Su Yuan was the instigator of the change, he wanted to deduce the origin of the change.

No matter how he calculated, the final result was just like Lao Tzu's: Su Yuan's origins were clear, yet his breakthrough was illogical. Everything seemed normal, yet it was the most abnormal thing.

"An anomaly, if not an anomaly."

As he murmured, Yuanshi's expression jolted, and then he suddenly awoke.

"wrong."

"There is another possibility: if a sage of the same level were involved in reversing Yin and Yang and confusing cause and effect, I might not be able to deduce it either."

......

"Hmph, if that's the case, then I don't need to follow the previous plan anymore."

After a while.

Yuanshi Tianzun calmed down, put away his thoughts, and suddenly transmitted his voice.

"Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Ju Liusun, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Cihang, Lingbao Dafashi, Daoxing Tianzun, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, Taiyi Zhenren, Huanglong Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren."

"You shall all proceed immediately to the Jade Void Palace to receive orders!"

The voice of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was like a booming bell, piercing through the nine layers of clouds.

Before long, the twelve Golden Immortals gathered in the Jade Void Palace. They saw that their teacher's face was ashen, and the three flowers on his head were swaying, clearly indicating that he was truly angry.

"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has begun, but the unpredictable changes of Emperor Xin may ruin our grand plan. You should all descend the mountain immediately and seek your own opportunities, either to support the Zhou dynasty or to eliminate the evil forces, so that the calamity may be restored to its proper order."

"If any members of the Jie Sect obstruct this journey, kill them without mercy!"

As he gave the order, Yuanshi Tianzun waved his sleeve and directly suspended the Investiture of the Gods in the void.

Emperor Xin, Wen Zhong, Bigan, Shang Rong, and also members of the Jie Sect, such as Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortal Maidens, and Lady Shiji...

One by one, the names that were originally scheduled to be listed circulated on it.

Just then.

A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky above Chaoge City. It turned out to be the bodies of Fei Zhong and You Hun lying on the ground after being beheaded.

Two murky spirits rose from the corpse, drifting aimlessly and aimlessly into the Jade Void Palace.

At this moment, the Investiture of the Gods unfolded, and after sensing the pull of the calamity, it suddenly shone with golden light. A scroll of text descended like a net from heaven and earth, capturing the two spirits.

Fei Zhongzhen's spirit still struggled, letting out a shrill, mournful cry: "We were merely trying to please the emperor, why have we been subjected to this!"

Youhun's spirit trembled even more, like a candle flickering in the wind.

The notice swept past mercilessly, and the two true spirits, like moths to a flame, were sucked into the depths of the notice, turning into two dim star points, fixed in the positions of "Hooked Star" and "Twisted Tongue Star," forever bound by the divine duties of the Heavenly Court, never to escape.

"this......"

The Twelve Golden Immortals were greatly surprised by this sudden turn of events.

As Yuanshi watched Fei Zhong and You Hun's true spirits enter, his face was ashen, his eyes narrowed, revealing a cold, sharp edge.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were destined to be on the list, but not at this time.

At this moment, seeing that Yuanshi's expression was displeased, Guangchengzi stepped forward, bowed, and said, "May I ask, Master, since King Zhou has already lost his virtue, why not directly send down divine punishment?"

"fool!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sneered, "The Heavenly Tribulation must be aligned with the fate of the mortal realm. If I forcibly intervene, you will also be on the list!"

"Go quickly!"

The twelve Golden Immortals, along with Jiang Ziya, immediately fell silent, each holding their magical treasures, and transformed into streams of light, scattering away in all directions.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun stood alone facing the vast sea of ​​clouds, muttering to himself, "Tongtian, could it be that your Jie Sect is stirring up trouble behind the scenes?"

"This is a calamity set by the teacher; no matter how unwilling you are, what can you do?"
