Chapter 860 After today, Zishou will be a tyrant!
"Why does the king ask this?" Cheng Gaoqiang suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
He almost thought that he had been exposed the moment he fell into this body - this was a consequence he absolutely could not accept.
It's not that the consequences are that dangerous.
Instead, he manifested an incarnation as the Emperor of Heaven, but ended up becoming a subject before the King of Man - this was too shameful!
At this moment, Cheng Gao was already thinking about whose avatar he should pretend to be if he was exposed...
"Immortality is a taboo for humans, how could I touch it?"
"Go." Emperor Xin waved his hand.
After Cheng Gao's figure disappeared in the palace, Emperor Xin withdrew his gaze and turned back to the bedroom.
……
However, on the second day, Cheng Gao did not go to Ji Chang to prepare for the grand sacrifice as Emperor Xin had ordered... He just ordered his servants to bring the letter about preparing for the grand sacrifice to Ji Chang, and then he killed his entire family.
Similarly, after delivering the letter, the servant also committed suicide and followed his master.
——What was mentioned in the letter was that Emperor Xin ordered Ji Chang to prepare for the grand sacrifice and to make some decisions at the grand sacrifice.
At the same time, Cheng Gao also clearly wrote about his confusion in the letter.
In his opinion, no matter what the reason, the achievements of the Holy Emperors should not be denied, and one should not cut ties with the Holy Emperors.
Even if we want to rescue the Saint Emperors from prison, at worst, we can start an unprecedented war. Even if everyone dies in the war, it is better than such humiliation...
But he was unwilling to disobey Emperor Xin's order.
He also had no way of refuting Emperor Xin's reasons.
Therefore, he had no choice but to die and destroy his entire family.
Delivering the message to King Ji Chang of the Western Zhou Dynasty was not letting down Emperor Xin - and dying and destroying one's entire family was not letting down the human blood that flowed in one's body.
Thus, with the demise of Cheng Gao's aristocratic lineage as the trigger, the content of Cheng Gao's letter spread throughout Chaoge in an instant, and then became more and more outrageous.
There is a saying that the separation from the Human Emperor gradually turned into Emperor Xin's inability to tolerate the existence of the Human Emperor and his dislike for the ancient Holy Emperors having greater influence than himself.
There is also a saying that the Fire Cloud Cave where the Human Emperor resides is the greatest heritage of the human race. Whether it is the Human King or the Human Emperor, once they step into the Fire Cloud Cave, they can ascend to Daluo and achieve immortality - however, there are a limited number of positions in the Fire Cloud Cave. After Emperor Dayu, there are no more vacancies in the Fire Cloud Cave. Emperor Xin wanted to "expel the Human Emperor" in order to make some space in the Fire Cloud Cave so that he could step into the Fire Cloud Cave.
Etc., etc……
"Ji Chang, are you really planning to prepare for that grand sacrifice?" Wei Ziqi's figure appeared between the pine ponds next to the palace - this was where Ji Chang was 'imprisoned' after leaving Lu Tai.
The most important things for the human race are war and sacrifice.
Simply put, Rong means military power.
Sacrifice is a sacrifice.
The order of the entire human race comes from this.
The human race’s sacrifices are divided into big sacrifices and small sacrifices.
Small sacrifices include sacrifices to ancestors, immortals and gods at various times of the year, and even boasting of the king’s achievements, etc., are all small sacrifices.
As for the great sacrifice - there is only one in the entire human race.
That is the sacrifice to Queen Nuwa and the ancient ancestors of the human race.
It is called Yuanhua Sacrifice.
Yuan means the beginning of a universe and symbolizes the birth of human race.
Hua means the survival of human beings and symbolizes the future of human beings.
This is the biggest festival of the human race.
During the ceremony, the struggle between heaven and earth will come to a temporary halt - no matter who it is, as long as they provoke a dispute at this time, and that dispute happens to affect the human world, they will immediately be regarded as an irreconcilable enemy of the human race.
The energy, manpower, material resources, etc. required to prepare for such a ceremony are almost unimaginable.
Therefore, such ceremonies are rarely held in the human world - more often, the human world would hold small sacrifices for the Holy Emperors on their birthdays, or, on the birthday of Queen Nuwa, use the Holy Emperors as accompanying sacrifices.
As for the entire heaven and earth, when the Yuanhua Festival is held on earth, it also means that there will be unprecedented changes in the human world, and it must be announced to heaven and earth. During such a ceremony, those Daluo must step into the human world as incarnations, so as not to lose first-hand information and misjudge the situation in the human world.
Obviously, given the current situation, Emperor Xin was going to announce the "severance" between the human race and the human emperors to the heavens, the earth, and the world at the Yuanhua Festival.
Only the announcement at this Yuanhua Festival can truly separate the human race from those ancient human emperors.
"Ji Chang, you must not agree to this." Wei Ziqi's attitude was extremely solemn.
——And outside this pine pond, the guards he brought with him had already surrounded the pine pond.
Weizi Qi was a member of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty.
From his point of view, no matter whether the content of Cheng Gao's letter is true or false - as long as the Yuanhua sacrifice is carried out, the content of the letter will be extrapolated and will definitely shake the vitality of the Shang Dynasty's human king.
This is something that he and other members of the royal family would never be able to accept.
Looking at Ji Chang in front of him, Weizi Qi had already made preparations - if Ji Chang insisted on preparing for this Yuanhua sacrifice, he would order the guards to kill Ji Chang!
The scale of the Yuanhua Festival is extremely large - considering the scale of this festival, the number of people who can prepare for this festival is also very small!
As for the current situation of the Shang Dynasty, the only person who has the ability to prepare and preside over this grand sacrifice and has the appropriate status and position is Ji Chang!
Therefore, as long as Ji Chang refused or died, the Yuanhua Sacrifice would not be held no matter what.
As for the impact and turmoil after killing Ji Chang - compared to the sacrifice, that was a consequence that Wei Ziqi and others could fully accept, and Wei Ziqi was already prepared to pay with his life.
"Your Majesty, are those rumors true?" In the palace, Queen Jiang stopped Emperor Xin in front of her.
Jiang was the daughter of Duke Dongbo - and Duke Dongbo's surname was Jiang, which was the surname of Shennong!
The line of Dong Bohou is the bloodline inheritance of the Human Emperor Shennong.
For them, the blood of the Human Emperor flowing in their bodies is the source of their innate nobility.
Once Emperor Xin denied the ancient human emperor, it meant denying the nobility of the Jiang family - for the Jiang family, this was absolutely unacceptable.
Even though they were husband and wife, Queen Jiang would never stand on Emperor Xin's side.
When Queen Jiang stood in front of Emperor Xin, she was holding a letter in her hand.
That was a letter written by Queen Jiang a while ago, in which she missed her relatives and asked Duke Dongbo and others to come to Chaoge for a reunion. After the incident with Cheng Gao, Queen Jiang immediately sent someone to retrieve the letter she had written, and sent an envoy to bring the message back to the Kingdom of Jiang, telling Duke Dongbo and others not to come to Chaoge.
While the Human King and the Queen were facing off in the palace, countless incense sticks were burning in the Human King's Palace shrines all over the world.
"Intercept the messenger privately." Emperor Xin looked at the letter in Queen Jiang's hand with a solemn expression.
"Queen, do you know what you are doing?"
"Does your Majesty know what you are doing?" Queen Jiang asked back.
"Jiang State guards the east and is the leader of the two hundred princes in the east."
"Once the Jiang Kingdom changes, all the princes in the two hundred towns in the east will be unstable."
"Your Majesty, no matter how high the reputation of the Human Emperor is, he is just a clay puppet. If Your Majesty cannot even tolerate this, what will the other princes think?"
"Your Majesty, don't you want to keep this kingdom?" said Queen Jiang.
"Women's opinions!" Emperor Xin's eyes became more and more fierce. "Do you look down on me like this and try to guess my thoughts?"
"Then please tell me clearly what you are thinking."
"Your Majesty, you have been hiding the truth, preferring to discuss it with the ministers outside rather than talking to your wife like me. Now, you are here to blame me for making unwarranted assumptions?"
Compared with Emperor Xin's stature, Queen Jiang's stature appeared extremely thin - but at this moment, this thin stature displayed an incomparably powerful majesty.
During the standoff between the king and the queen, every guard and waiter in the palace was terrified and wished they could dig out their eyes and plug their ears immediately - of course, there were some smart ones who had quietly retreated and quickly reported to the two princes and other elders of the royal family, wanting to call them to persuade the king and queen to stop confronting each other.
"I am too lazy to bother with you!" Looking at the guards who were getting more and more hurried, Emperor Xin's expression became more and more ugly. He exerted a little force with his hands and pushed Queen Jiang aside.
"Mother!" After Emperor Xin left, the two princes who had received the news hurried over, helped Queen Jiang who had been pushed to the ground, and scolded the guards to retreat.
……
"Your Majesty the Green Emperor, it seems that someone else has interfered in the chess game between you and me." The voice of the Demon Ancestor Dong Yuan sounded in Fuxi's ears.
"Three years..."
"Three years later, at the Yuanhua Festival, the human race will sever ties with the Human Emperor."
"This contemporary human king is really a man of swift and decisive character."
"I just don't know if these three years are enough time for His Majesty the Green Emperor to plan?"
In front of the Nuwa Temple, Fuxi was also silent.
The sudden storm in Chaoge City was beyond his control.
The existences of the Human Emperor and the Human King were originally in conflict - and Fuxi was unwilling to infringe on the authority of the Human King. Therefore, although he came to the human world, he never met with the Human King, let alone discussed the next situation with him.
After all, from his brief contact in the Heavenly Palace, he already had a certain understanding of this generation of Human King - he believed that in this matter, even if everyone acted on their own, the Human King's decision should be able to coordinate with his layout.
However, the sudden turmoil in Chaoge City directly disrupted Fuxi's plan.
Emperor Xin didn't give Fuxi any time at all!
"I'll go talk to him." Fuxi sighed, stretched out his hand and pinched into the void, and the spirit of humanity had already been aroused by him.
And at this moment, the court in Chaoge was in great chaos.
The statues of the ancient ancestors and emperors were moved directly into the court by the ministers. Several temple priests knelt in front of the statues, crying and kowtowing. This was the scene that Emperor Xin saw when he came to the court after getting rid of Queen Jiang.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Xin was unwilling to go to the court even. He just turned around and left.
At this moment, the statue of Fuxi, among the statues of the Human Emperor placed in the court, flickered slightly, and Emperor Xin's thoughts were invited into the statue.
"Meet the Human King."
"Greetings to Your Majesty Fuxi," Emperor Xin said, "I think that with Your Majesty's wisdom, you should not come to see me."
"I know that too." Fuxi smiled bitterly. "But Human King, you are too fast."
"Three years - it's too late for anything."
"We don't have enough time to leave our achievements and heritage in the world."
"You, the Human King, are too late to calm the raging fire of the human world."
"Human King, why don't you slow down a bit."
"But that's what I want." Emperor Xin looked at Fuxi and answered honestly.
"Your Majesty Fuxi, I know your plan. With your plan, you can not only leave your own achievements in the human world, but also use unpredictable means to make your separation from the human world become natural, so as to minimize the waves caused by this matter."
"But what happens next?"
"Do you really want the world to forget you?"
"No!"
"Since I am the one in charge of the human race now, I will never let this happen."
"So, this matter can only be done urgently, not slowly!"
"What I want is to cut you, Your Majesty Fuxi, off from the human race - at the same time, I want the hearts of the human race to remain on your side."
"I want you to be able to continue to be worshipped and legends passed down among the human race even if I cut you off."
"It is not like what you planned, Your Majesty. After a smooth transition, the name of the Human Emperor will become a vague symbol and will eventually be completely forgotten."
Emperor Xin looked directly at Fuxi in front of him.
So at this moment, Fuxi also truly realized Emperor Xin’s thoughts.
There was great regret in his eyes.
"Human King, why do you have to do this?"
"Your Majesty, just think that I am still plotting against you." Emperor Xin said calmly, "Your Majesties cut ties with the human race - I know that even if you cut ties, your Majesties' hearts are still on the side of the human race."
"But what if?"
"If the human world really forgets you, Your Majesties, how long can you maintain your desire to protect the human race?"
"So, Your Majesty, just think that I have selfish motives - I want to stir up the existence of your majesties and affect my authority, and I also want to make sure that your majesties, after being squeezed out of the human race, are still privately worshipped by the human race, so that they can help the human race when necessary."
"But you..." Fuxi hesitated to speak.
In just a few words, Emperor Xin's plan was revealed to Fuxi.
——Can the Human King represent the human race?
Of course you can.
But what if the will of the Human King conflicts with the will of the human race?
What if the vast majority of the human race think that the Human King is wrong?
Can the Human King still represent the human race at this time?
It can represent—but not completely represent!
For the future of humanity, humanity must cut ties with the Immortal Human Emperor - but this cut cannot be complete.
After all, no matter what, the human race can never deny the existence of those human emperors, let alone deny the past history.
Moreover, just as Emperor Xin said, he was also worried about those Human Emperors - even if the Human Emperors could make new contributions to the human race, but if the human race itself forgot their existence and denied their existence, then how long could these Human Emperors continue to make contributions to the human race?
Was the human race at that time still worthy of the efforts of the human emperors?
Therefore, the cutting of the Immortal Emperor must be in a state of cutting yet not cutting!
As the King of Mankind, Emperor Xin announced to heaven and earth that the human race did not recognize the existence of those immortal human emperors - when they ruled the world, they were human emperors, but when they abandoned the human race and embraced immortality, they were no longer human emperors.
But among the human race, the millions of mortals who represent the will of humanity cannot deny the existence of the Human Emperor.
And Emperor Xin’s plan began here.
He wanted to use the most radical attitude to "expel" the existence of the Human Emperors from the human race - and the more radical his attitude was, the more "uneasy" the human race under him would be about the existence of the Human Emperors.
The more he tried to ban the legends and incense of the Human Emperor, the more enduring the legends and incense of the Human Emperor became.
In this way, even if the emperors of mankind leave the human race for the sake of the human race and become "real Daluo", their hearts will also be "retained in the human world" for a longer time.
And this is where Fuxi felt regretful!
Emperor Xin’s plan was certainly feasible.
But what's the price?
Using the most radical attitude, expelling the Human Emperor from the human race, thereby causing a conflict between the will of the Human King and the will of the human race - what will be the consequences?
All those countless responsibilities, countless dissatisfactions, and countless resentments would fall on Emperor Xin.
This is enough to trigger new changes in humanity and cause the human race's will to backfire against the Human King.
In this case, Emperor Xin is almost certain to die!
Not only will Emperor Xin be dead, but the bloodline of the Shang Dynasty's king will also most likely be completely cut off. Moreover, the Shang Dynasty's descendants will have to spend a long time to eliminate the dissatisfaction of humanity towards them - the heaven and the earth have their own filth, and humanity, too, has its own filth.
"Your Majesty, I am also the Human King!"
"Your Majesty said that you are planning to leave your achievements in the human world - you are willing to sacrifice your life for the human race, so do I, the king of humans, have to sacrifice my life for the human race?"
"But this is not your fault." Fuxi looked heavy.
"Immortality is a choice we made ourselves. We were the emperors respected by all, but we chose immortality for the sake of our own lives. As a result, the trend of the human race seeking immortality cannot be stopped."
"This is the root of evil that we created among the human race. We should be the ones to pay the price for eliminating this root of evil."
"Your Majesty is wrong again!" said Emperor Xin.
"It's different times, different circumstances."
"If Your Majesty does not ascend to Daluo at that time, how can you gain time and space for the human race?"
"Without Daluo, how can the human race seek the right to speak between heaven and earth?"
"Immortality is not the evil that Your Majesty has brought upon the human race - it is the dirt that the human race has left on Your Majesty."
"It is not that your majesty owes the human race, but that the human race owes your majesty."
"In this case, I, the Human King, should naturally repay this debt for the human race."
"After three years, the root of the human race's longevity problem will no longer be related to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please go back. After today, Zishou will be a dictator!"
……
"Who asked you to come here?" Emperor Xin appeared in the pine pond. The guards surrounding the pond dispersed and bowed down when they saw Emperor Xin coming here.
However, after Emperor Xin turned around and left the court, he talked with Fuxi and came directly to Ji Chang - and happened to see Ji Chang being led by guards.
"It's Qi. I was saying, who dares to mobilize the palace guards without permission?" Emperor Xin looked at Weizi Qi, who was holding a sword in front of him, with an unfriendly expression.
"What are you doing in Songchi?"
"Could it be that he heard some rumors and was unwilling to give in, so he wanted to make some plans together with Ji Chang?" Emperor Xin said.
"Well, I just happened to be looking for you for something - since you are here, why don't you listen together?"
Emperor Xin's gaze fell on Ji Chang.
"Ji Chang, although Cheng Gao is dead, you should have received his letter."
"Do you have any thoughts on Yuanhua's grand sacrifice?"
"Qi is here now - if there is anything missing, tell me clearly."
Beside him, Wei Ziqi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his right hand moved uncontrollably towards the hilt of the sword. However, when he touched the hilt, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained in an instant, and he was unable to pull out the sword.
"Your Majesty, I am a wise minister who reflects on my mistakes and dare not obey your orders."
"How dare you not obey the imperial edict." Emperor Xin sneered and turned his gaze to Wei Ziqi. "It seems that Qi, your trip was not in vain."
Emperor Xin's gaze became increasingly cold.
"Do you really think that I can't find someone else to prepare for this Yuanhua Festival?" Emperor Xin left with a wave of his sleeves and issued an order to the soldiers. "Since you have come to this pine pond, you should take good care of it for me."
"If anyone else steps into Songchi and connects with Ji Chang, don't blame me for being ruthless."
……
"Three years!"
"Fuxi, I want to see how you plan to spend these three years."
"I just don't believe that you can watch such a huge uproar among the human race!" In the heavenly palace, the Jade Emperor opened his eyes with great satisfaction.
In just three years, they attempted to cut ties with the Human Emperor - one can imagine how great a shock this would have on the human world.
If he had known this, he wouldn't have had to sacrifice that incarnation!
However, the death of the incarnation was worth it, as he was able to use the life of the incarnation and the blood of that clan to make the storm that could have been suppressed burst out completely.
The Jade Emperor lowered his eyes.
Looking at the whole world, the only person who can "persuade" the Human King, let the Human King take it slow, let the Human King change his ways, and at the same time eliminate the turmoil in the world is the Jade Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven!
——As long as he cooperates a little and makes some moves, the human world can use the existence of the Heavenly Court to attract attention and suppress the matter of the great sacrifice, thus giving the Human King a way out and allowing him to slowly proceed with his plan.
"After all, he is a man of great strength. He is young and hot-headed, and does things without considering the consequences." Thinking of the impatience shown by Emperor Xin, the Jade Emperor could not help but shake his head.
"But this is fine."
"Such a human king is more beneficial to the Heavenly Court."
The Jade Emperor pondered - a period of three years seemed incredible.
But when the Jade Emperor put himself in the perspective of a mortal, he felt that Emperor Xin's impatience was extremely "reasonable".
After all, mortals have short lifespans, and Emperor Xin is a person who is extremely disdainful of immortality - three years is not a short time for Emperor Xin!
(End of this chapter)
"Why does the king ask this?" Cheng Gaoqiang suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

"I know that too." Fuxi smiled bitterly. "But Human King, you are too fast."
"Three years - it's too late for anything."
"We don't have enough time to leave our achievements and heritage in the world."
"You, the Human King, are too late to calm the raging fire of the human world."
"Human King, why don't you slow down a bit."
"But that's what I want." Emperor Xin looked at Fuxi and answered honestly.
"Your Majesty Fuxi, I know your plan. With your plan, you can not only leave your own achievements in the human world, but also use unpredictable means to make your separation from the human world become natural, so as to minimize the waves caused by this matter."
"But what happens next?"
"Do you really want the world to forget you?"
"No!"
"Since I am the one in charge of the human race now, I will never let this happen."
"So, this matter can only be done urgently, not slowly!"
"What I want is to cut you, Your Majesty Fuxi, off from the human race - at the same time, I want the hearts of the human race to remain on your side."
"I want you to be able to continue to be worshipped and legends passed down among the human race even if I cut you off."
"It is not like what you planned, Your Majesty. After a smooth transition, the name of the Human Emperor will become a vague symbol and will eventually be completely forgotten."
Emperor Xin looked directly at Fuxi in front of him.
So at this moment, Fuxi also truly realized Emperor Xin’s thoughts.
There was great regret in his eyes.
"Human King, why do you have to do this?"
"Your Majesty, just think that I am still plotting against you." Emperor Xin said calmly, "Your Majesties cut ties with the human race - I know that even if you cut ties, your Majesties' hearts are still on the side of the human race."
"But what if?"
"If the human world really forgets you, Your Majesties, how long can you maintain your desire to protect the human race?"
"So, Your Majesty, just think that I have selfish motives - I want to stir up the existence of your majesties and affect my authority, and I also want to make sure that your majesties, after being squeezed out of the human race, are still privately worshipped by the human race, so that they can help the human race when necessary."
"But you..." Fuxi hesitated to speak.
In just a few words, Emperor Xin's plan was revealed to Fuxi.
——Can the Human King represent the human race?
Of course you can.
But what if the will of the Human King conflicts with the will of the human race?
What if the vast majority of the human race think that the Human King is wrong?
Can the Human King still represent the human race at this time?
It can represent—but not completely represent!
For the future of humanity, humanity must cut ties with the Immortal Human Emperor - but this cut cannot be complete.
After all, no matter what, the human race can never deny the existence of those human emperors, let alone deny the past history.
Moreover, just as Emperor Xin said, he was also worried about those Human Emperors - even if the Human Emperors could make new contributions to the human race, but if the human race itself forgot their existence and denied their existence, then how long could these Human Emperors continue to make contributions to the human race?
Was the human race at that time still worthy of the efforts of the human emperors?
Therefore, the cutting of the Immortal Emperor must be in a state of cutting yet not cutting!
As the King of Mankind, Emperor Xin announced to heaven and earth that the human race did not recognize the existence of those immortal human emperors - when they ruled the world, they were human emperors, but when they abandoned the human race and embraced immortality, they were no longer human emperors.
But among the human race, the millions of mortals who represent the will of humanity cannot deny the existence of the Human Emperor.
And Emperor Xin’s plan began here.
He wanted to use the most radical attitude to "expel" the existence of the Human Emperors from the human race - and the more radical his attitude was, the more "uneasy" the human race under him would be about the existence of the Human Emperors.
The more he tried to ban the legends and incense of the Human Emperor, the more enduring the legends and incense of the Human Emperor became.
In this way, even if the emperors of mankind leave the human race for the sake of the human race and become "real Daluo", their hearts will also be "retained in the human world" for a longer time.
And this is where Fuxi felt regretful!
Emperor Xin’s plan was certainly feasible.
But what's the price?
Using the most radical attitude, expelling the Human Emperor from the human race, thereby causing a conflict between the will of the Human King and the will of the human race - what will be the consequences?
All those countless responsibilities, countless dissatisfactions, and countless resentments would fall on Emperor Xin.
This is enough to trigger new changes in humanity and cause the human race's will to backfire against the Human King.
In this case, Emperor Xin is almost certain to die!
Not only will Emperor Xin be dead, but the bloodline of the Shang Dynasty's king will also most likely be completely cut off. Moreover, the Shang Dynasty's descendants will have to spend a long time to eliminate the dissatisfaction of humanity towards them - the heaven and the earth have their own filth, and humanity, too, has its own filth.
"Your Majesty, I am also the Human King!"
"Your Majesty said that you are planning to leave your achievements in the human world - you are willing to sacrifice your life for the human race, so do I, the king of humans, have to sacrifice my life for the human race?"
"But this is not your fault." Fuxi looked heavy.
"Immortality is a choice we made ourselves. We were the emperors respected by all, but we chose immortality for the sake of our own lives. As a result, the trend of the human race seeking immortality cannot be stopped."
"This is the root of evil that we created among the human race. We should be the ones to pay the price for eliminating this root of evil."
"Your Majesty is wrong again!" said Emperor Xin.
"It's different times, different circumstances."
"If Your Majesty does not ascend to Daluo at that time, how can you gain time and space for the human race?"
"Without Daluo, how can the human race seek the right to speak between heaven and earth?"
"Immortality is not the evil that Your Majesty has brought upon the human race - it is the dirt that the human race has left on Your Majesty."
"It is not that your majesty owes the human race, but that the human race owes your majesty."
"In this case, I, the Human King, should naturally repay this debt for the human race."
"After three years, the root of the human race's longevity problem will no longer be related to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please go back. After today, Zishou will be a dictator!"
……
"Who asked you to come here?" Emperor Xin appeared in the pine pond. The guards surrounding the pond dispersed and bowed down when they saw Emperor Xin coming here.
However, after Emperor Xin turned around and left the court, he talked with Fuxi and came directly to Ji Chang - and happened to see Ji Chang being led by guards.
"It's Qi. I was saying, who dares to mobilize the palace guards without permission?" Emperor Xin looked at Weizi Qi, who was holding a sword in front of him, with an unfriendly expression.
"What are you doing in Songchi?"
"Could it be that he heard some rumors and was unwilling to give in, so he wanted to make some plans together with Ji Chang?" Emperor Xin said.
"Well, I just happened to be looking for you for something - since you are here, why don't you listen together?"
Emperor Xin's gaze fell on Ji Chang.
"Ji Chang, although Cheng Gao is dead, you should have received his letter."
"Do you have any thoughts on Yuanhua's grand sacrifice?"
"Qi is here now - if there is anything missing, tell me clearly."
Beside him, Wei Ziqi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his right hand moved uncontrollably towards the hilt of the sword. However, when he touched the hilt, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained in an instant, and he was unable to pull out the sword.
"Your Majesty, I am a wise minister who reflects on my mistakes and dare not obey your orders."
"How dare you not obey the imperial edict." Emperor Xin sneered and turned his gaze to Wei Ziqi. "It seems that Qi, your trip was not in vain."
Emperor Xin's gaze became increasingly cold.
"Do you really think that I can't find someone else to prepare for this Yuanhua Festival?" Emperor Xin left with a wave of his sleeves and issued an order to the soldiers. "Since you have come to this pine pond, you should take good care of it for me."
"If anyone else steps into Songchi and connects with Ji Chang, don't blame me for being ruthless."
……
"Three years!"
"Fuxi, I want to see how you plan to spend these three years."
"I just don't believe that you can watch such a huge uproar among the human race!" In the heavenly palace, the Jade Emperor opened his eyes with great satisfaction.
In just three years, they attempted to cut ties with the Human Emperor - one can imagine how great a shock this would have on the human world.
If he had known this, he wouldn't have had to sacrifice that incarnation!
However, the death of the incarnation was worth it, as he was able to use the life of the incarnation and the blood of that clan to make the storm that could have been suppressed burst out completely.
The Jade Emperor lowered his eyes.
Looking at the whole world, the only person who can "persuade" the Human King, let the Human King take it slow, let the Human King change his ways, and at the same time eliminate the turmoil in the world is the Jade Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven!
——As long as he cooperates a little and makes some moves, the human world can use the existence of the Heavenly Court to attract attention and suppress the matter of the great sacrifice, thus giving the Human King a way out and allowing him to slowly proceed with his plan.
"After all, he is a man of great strength. He is young and hot-headed, and does things without considering the consequences." Thinking of the impatience shown by Emperor Xin, the Jade Emperor could not help but shake his head.
"But this is fine."
"Such a human king is more beneficial to the Heavenly Court."
The Jade Emperor pondered - a period of three years seemed incredible.
But when the Jade Emperor put himself in the perspective of a mortal, he felt that Emperor Xin's impatience was extremely "reasonable".
After all, mortals have short lifespans, and Emperor Xin is a person who is extremely disdainful of immortality - three years is not a short time for Emperor Xin!
