Divine Seal Decree.
Jiang Ziya was in charge of it and used it to bestow the 365 righteous gods of the eight divisions of the Heavenly Courts.
The ancient Great God-Conferment War was actually a battle between the Chan School, the Jie School, and the Ren School. With the world as a chessboard, they used King Wu to attack the Shang Dynasty, causing a great massacre of the immortal, demon, human, and demon races!
In this terrifying massacre, the souls of the fallen generals, immortals, and officials from both sides of Shang and Zhou would be guided by Bai Jian into the "Apotheosis Altar" using the Hundred Spirits Banner. They would be conferred the title of the Eight Deities and be in charge of their respective departments. They would be in charge of the Heavenly Cycle, investigate the good and evil in the world, and report the achievements of the Three Realms.
After the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the Heavenly Courts were restarted and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. Although the human race rose from then on, China had also entered the Dharma Ending Era where the spiritual energy was exhausted.
Ling Yun already knew all of this, and he also had his own thoughts and judgments, so he wasn't surprised. What he was most concerned about at this moment was actually what Ye Xingchen had said at the end.
"After becoming a god, there will be no more Human Emperors in the human world, only the Son of Heaven."
Ling Yun had obtained the inheritance of the Three Sovereigns. Of course, he cared about this sentence. The Human Sovereign was the Human Sovereign, and the Son of Heaven was the Son of Heaven. Although they were both monarchs who ruled over the human world, they were two completely different things.
The Human Emperor had the final say in everything.
The Son of Heaven, as the name suggested, was the son of the Celestial Emperor and had to follow the will of the heavens.
There was a huge difference between the two.
However, although Ling Yun agreed with Ye Xingchen's words very much, he didn't think much of it either.
This was because he was no longer the newbie who had just arrived on Earth. He had traveled all over Huaxia, went south to Miaojiang, seen the statue of Chiyou, destroyed Gonggong's Primordial Spirit, and possessed the roots of Mount Buzhou.
In the west, he went to the Kunlun Mountains and learned many of the secrets of the Kunlun Mountains. He knew that there was a vast and boundless Mountain Sea Realm in the Kunlun Mountains, and that there were even Transcending Tribulation Almighties there.
He had just been to Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor Tomb, and the Yellow Emperor Spring. Not only had he seen the legendary Winged Dragon and crossed three realms, but he had also successfully advanced the Dragon Emperor Dharma Sword to a superior-grade immortal sword!
He had even entered the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang's true Mausoleum Protecting Formation. Even though he had only entered the main entrance and didn't go deep into the mausoleum, he had learned a lot from it and learned how powerful Emperor Qin Shihuang was!
That's right, it was Qin Shi Huang!
More than four thousand years ago, Emperor Shun once said to the ancestors of the Qin state, "You will have a great heir."
Later on, when Laozi entered Qin and left the Hangu Pass, he also made a prophecy, "The fate of Qin and Zhou will separate and merge. Zhou and Qin are of the same origin. Qin will unite the western border and Qin will save Zhou. They will become feudal vassals. Qin and Zhou will separate. Five hundred years after separation, they will unite with Qin. Seventeen years after unification, the overlord will emerge!"
It turned out that Laozi's prophecy was exactly the same as the real historical trend of the Qin State.
Qin Shihuang was the one who achieved the "Great Unity of Qin".
After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six states and unified the world, he declared to the heavens and earth, "I have unified the six states, and the world is one. I have built the Great Wall to suppress the Dragon Veins of the Nine Prefectures, to protect the Qin Dynasty, and to protect the nation. We swear in the name of Shihuang! With me around, I will defend the land and open up new territories, sweep through the four barbarians, and establish the foundation of my Great Qin! When I die, I will turn into a dragon soul and protect Huaxia for eternity! This oath is witnessed by the sun and moon, witnessed by the heaven and earth, and heard by all immortals, demons, ghosts, and gods! "
Listen!
I swear in the name of the First Emperor!
This oath is witnessed by the sun and moon, witnessed by the heavens and earth, and heard by all immortals, demons, ghosts, and gods!
How domineering!
After Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the king named himself the Son of Heaven. However, after Qin Shihuang unified the six states, he named himself the First Emperor.
It was also because of this that Qin Shihuang was willingly worshipped as the Ancestral Dragon of China.
It was a pity that Laozi's prophecy was correct. After 17 years of unity, the Overlord was born.
The Great Qin Dynasty fell in the second generation, destroyed by the Overlord Xiang Yu and the Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang.
Strangely enough, the demise of the Qin Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty had many mysterious similarities.
For example, King Zhou of Shang was smeared as a tyrant by the later dynasties, and so was Qin Shihuang. There was no need to talk about the second generation of Qin, Hu Hai.
For example, King Zhou of Shang, King Zhou of Shang had been fighting for many years, and his main forces were fighting outside, causing the interior to be empty. That was why King Wu of Zhou was able to successfully subdue him. In the Battle of Muye, he could only send slaves and prisoners to face the enemy, which resulted in a crushing defeat.
The Qin Dynasty was even more straightforward. After Qin Shihuang unified the six states, he ordered four hundred thousand people to build the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu in the north. Another six hundred thousand main forces led by Wang Jian rushed to Nanyue, bringing the current Eastern Guangdong, Western Guangxi, Hainan, and even the current Yue Kingdom into the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty. Moreover, Qin Shihuang had given a strict order that if there was a rebellion in the country, the million-strong army was not allowed to attack the Emperor!
This was the reason why when Xiang Yu and Liu Bang used the Great Qin Dynasty as the battlefield and surrounded Xianyang to bet who would be the Emperor first, the million-strong army of the Great Qin Dynasty disappeared.
Another example was that after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Deer Terrace built by King Zhou of Shang disappeared.
The Epang Palace built by Qin Shihuang was also missing.
Even the reasons for its disappearance were almost the same. King Zhou of Shang wore a jade robe and set fire to the Deer Terrace. Epang Palace was burned by Xiang Yu.
They were all burned by the fire.
…
And so on. If Ling Yun had to interpret these, the most important point was that these two were people who "despised the authority of the gods and refused to acknowledge destiny".
There was a poem to prove it. "The scenery of the Phoenix Luan's Precious Tent is extraordinary, full of exquisite decorations. The twists and turns of the distant mountains are green, and the sleeves are dancing gracefully. The pear blossoms are beautiful in the rain, and the peonies are charming. However, they have to be enchanting and move to marry the King of Changle. "
That poem was the reason for the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was enough to show how much the King of Shang, King Zhou of Shang, despised the authority of the gods.
He dared to marry the ancient goddess, Goddess Nuwa, back to the Changle Palace after paying respects to the temple of Goddess Nuwa …
As for Ying Zheng, who had proclaimed himself the First Emperor, he was even more ferocious. He directly summoned the immortals, demons, ghosts, and gods!
Who else could be so ferocious?
Because of that, Ling Yun had only wandered around the entrance of the Qin Shihuang's mausoleum several times. He had never had any intentions of entering the Qin Shihuang's mausoleum.
It was not because he was afraid, but because he respected him.
The two human emperors who had been separated by a thousand years were actually people with outstanding battle achievements. They looked down on the authority of the gods and were the only ones who were supreme.
Both of them had similar endings. Their countries were destroyed in the end, but Qin Shihuang had it better. After all, he was the ancestor of Huaxia. No one dared to provoke him when he was alive, but after he died, it was no longer up to him.
It could only be said that Huhai was too stupid, Zhao Gao was too awesome, Xiang Yu was too fierce, and Liu Bang was too strong …
The rise and fall of dynasties in the human world was inevitable.
But no matter what, Qin Shihuang had still completed a heaven-defying act. He considered himself the First Emperor, not the Son of Heaven.
Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen flew side by side.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ye Xingchen didn't hear Ling Yun's reply for a long time. He turned to look at Ling Yun and asked with a smile.
"The Human Emperor."
Ling Yun replied, "I'm thinking, just how strong must one be to call himself the Human Emperor?"
"You have the inheritance of the Three Sovereigns, and you're also the one destined to deal with the tribulation.
I should be asking you that, "Ye Xingchen teased with a smile.
"You've already told my mother about this, haven't you?"
Ling Yun suddenly remembered what Wen Mo had said to him outside and was a little annoyed. He said fiercely, "I'll tell you everything I know when we get back to the Devil Sect. You've really sold me out. Tell me, how should we settle this debt?"
Ye Xingchen giggled at his teasing.
Very quickly, she twisted her slender body and arrived in front of Ling Yun. As she flew backwards, she explained, "It's not as serious as Great Elder Wen said.
"I did say a lot about the Devil Sect. It was mainly about the Heaven's Pit and the Blood Killing Saber.
"After all, you have the Blood Killing Saber, so you're the Holy Leader of the Glory Sect. Almost everyone in the world knows about these things, so there's no need to hide them.
"Your matters have nothing to do with the Devil Sect. I didn't mention a word to Great Elder Wen.
"However, you asked me to bring back those supreme-grade flying swords, my realm, and the Void Star Attractor Art. You have to explain these things to Master, don't you?"
Ye Xingchen's expression was full of grievance as she said this. Her beautiful eyes blinked, looking very pitiful.
Ling Yun smiled evilly and stretched out his arms. "Come, give me a hug, and we'll put this behind us."
He didn't really care. With his current strength, there was no need for him to deliberately hide anything. Not to mention, everything Ye Xingchen said and did was to pave the way for him, to save him all kinds of trouble. It was all for his own good.
"In your dreams!"
Ye Xingchen curled her lips and sped up. She turned around and flew in the same direction as Ling Yun again. "Let's go. I'll take you to another place."
Ling Yun sped up and arrived beside Ye Xingchen again. He asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You've only started the other version of the story, and you're not going to tell me anymore?"
"The beginning is enough. You're so smart, and your realm is so high now. What else can you not think of?"
"I'm very lazy right now. I don't want to make wild guesses. Just tell me directly."
"There's not enough time tonight. I'll tell you in detail next time."
Ye Xingchen suddenly lost interest. Then, she asked in a seemingly casual manner, "Oh right, what do you think of the Devil Race?"
"The Devil Sect? I'm here now, aren't I? This Devil Sect's main altar doesn't seem like much to me. However, I'm very interested in this Devil Sect's forbidden area and this special spatial formation … "Ling Yun spoke casually.
After a long time, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. He turned his head abruptly and asked, "Xingchen, did you just ask me about the Devil Race?"
Ye Xingchen remained silent and nodded imperceptibly. An indescribable nervousness flashed across her beautiful eyes.
"Hahahahaha …"
Ling Yun couldn't help but burst into laughter. "The Devil Race? I've never seen one before. Who am I supposed to ask for my opinion?"
Although he said that, Ling Yun's heart tightened. He had, of course, seen a real Devil Race creature before. However, it wasn't here, but in the Cultivation World.
The real Devil Race was completely different from those human cultivators who cultivated in demonic and heretical techniques. He hadn't expected Ye Xingchen to suddenly ask him about this.
Ling Yun's heart was pounding. Could it be that Xingchen had already sensed something and was beating around the bush?
Everything else was fine, but this was something he couldn't admit even if he was beaten to death!
Ling Yun decided that he wouldn't admit it no matter what. He would insist that he had never seen one before!
However, he heard Ye Xingchen say faintly, "Stupid! I know you haven't seen one before. What I'm saying is, what do you think of the Devil Race in your imagination? "
"Uh … in your imagination?"
Ling Yun was stunned. Then, he blurted out, "There's no need to think about it. The Devil Race is definitely all grotesque. There are all kinds of shapes, but very few of them are humanoid. Their bodies are strong, and they love to feed on humans. They have no humanity at all. In any case, they're as evil as they can be …"
Ling Yun was getting carried away, and his words flowed like a river. He suddenly turned his head and realized that Ye Xingchen had long since disappeared.
"Boom!"
A huge black star with a diameter of three meters suddenly appeared and smashed toward him!
"Aiya!"
Ling Yun hurriedly raised his hand and slapped the huge black star away. He said angrily, "Ye Xingchen, I think you're really getting ahead of yourself. Attacking for no reason at all. Are you trying to murder your husband?"
However, Ye Xingchen suddenly appeared a thousand meters away. She floated in the air with a smile on her face.
Ling Yun teleported and chased after her.
"Look."
Ye Xingchen raised a hand and pointed to the ground below.
In front of the green mountain, by the side of a large lake, surrounded by green water and shaded by green trees.
There was a large courtyard.
The courtyard was deep and had nine levels, echoing the chain of palaces in the east.
It was exactly the same as the Ling Family's ancestral home in the capital!
