Chung Shen-soo listened carefully.
He actually did not know much about the upper echelons of this world. Some of his information came from Zhang Taiyi's Divine Soul.
This guy had been dead for a long time, so of course he wouldn't know the latest situation.
"Junior Brother Su, do you know why the master of the Second Empire calls himself the Yan Han Emperor instead of the Son of Heaven?"
Chen Wenji asked with a smile.
Chung Shen-soo thought for a while and replied, "Because the Second Empire and the First Empire are of the same lineage, we are all immigrants from the Realm Beyond Heaven, not natives. The National Sacrifice is not for the Heavens, but for the Taoist Ancestors!"
"Indeed!" Chen Wenji's expression was solemn. "Junior Brother, you should have heard of the Three Thousand Worlds … We, the people of Yan Han, all came from the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. The land where the Dong Sheng Divine Continent is located is known as the Supreme Emperor Heaven. Back then, the Dao Ancestor left his mark and bestowed his Dao techniques upon us. That was how the Dao of Immortals, Buddhists, and the School of Miscellany were able to prosper … That's why all the techniques flow back to the Dao Ancestor. Do not betray it! "
"After that, our ancestors could not bear the chaos of war and collectively moved to this world, naming it the Seven Lights Heaven!"
"The Heavenly Dao of this' Seven Lights Heaven 'is different from that of the' Supreme Emperor Heaven '. It rejects immigrants and Daoist arts, causing the destruction of the number one empire in Yan Han …"
"Dragons fight in the wild, and their blood turns yellow. We, the people of Yan Han, should strive to become stronger. We do not respect the heavens, but only the Dao Ancestors!"
Chen Wenji said solemnly, "But there are some people who think … how can man triumph over the heavens? The Heavens were there, and no matter what people or even cultivators did, how could they harm the Heavens? Since we've entered this world, we should obey the heavens and the people … "
"So, they are divided into two factions, the Man Conquers Heaven Faction and the Man Conquers Heaven Faction?" Chung Shen-soo said thoughtfully.
"Junior Brother's summary is incisive. In fact, when the Yan Han Empire was still the number one empire, there were very few supporters of the idea of obeying the heavens and the people … But later on, the Heavenly Dao rejected it, and the Dao Law declined. The First Empire of Yan Han was destroyed, and we had no choice but to make concessions. We changed the ancient Dao Law and replaced it with a new one. When the Second Empire was established, the Obeying the heavens and the people faction became very arrogant … Gradually, it influenced the current emperor."
"The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven. If he worships the Heavens and Earth and obtains the true recognition of the Heavenly Dao, he might be able to prolong the reign of the country." Chung Shen-soo sneered.
"That's about it. There are quite a number of supporters …" Chen Wenji sighed. "In the past, there have been such open and secret struggles in the imperial court. The biggest example is the case of the First Prince's rebellion …"
Chung Shen-soo's face twitched. This was the eternal pain of the Su family.
"Now, the old emperor is also gradually thinking about reforming the law! Changing the ancestral system, offering sacrifices to the Heavenly Dao of this place, in order to continue the country, and perhaps even their own lifespan … "
Chen Wenji said, "Previously, it was just a foreshadowing. This year, they even announced the change of the era of Sky Bearing. Their intentions are clear. Replacing the ancient law with a new one is a last resort. With this change of era, we can no longer retreat! "
'It seems like this senior sister is a firm believer in the doctrine of man conquering the heavens … However, the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect has always been in the same boat with the imperial court. Who knows, among the upper echelons, the idea of obeying the heavens and the people has gained the upper hand!'
Chung Shen-soo cursed in his heart. At the same time, his expression became extremely solemn.
He saw a huge whirlpool.
Let's not talk about the Heavenly Dao of this place first.
Reform!
Changing the ancestral system!
People would die. A lot of people would die. If they were not careful, there might even be the possibility of the entire country collapsing!
"The affairs of the country are only related to rites and sacrifices … If we change it rashly, there will be huge repercussions."
Chung Shen-soo sighed.
At this point, he was no longer a newbie. He understood why most of the reforms in history failed.
He also understood why there would be a bunch of people who would jump out and clamor to not change the ancestral system whenever there was a reform in the feudal dynasty!
There was a certain logic to it.
From the perspective of protecting the throne, the reason why an emperor could inherit the throne was none other than because of the ancestral system!
If the ancestral system could be changed at will, wouldn't it mean that the position of the emperor could be changed at will?
Therefore, reform, reform. In the end, even the position of the emperor would be unstable. It was inevitable that the emperors who came back to their senses would shrink back.
How could the world and the welfare of the people compare to their own position?
They would rather be in charge of a dilapidated dynasty than see the rise of a new dynasty while their own dynasty loses power!
Moreover, those emperors did not have the prestige of the founding ancestors. They did not have the military and political power, nor did they have the domineering power to suppress the four seas!
Even if they did, they could suppress them for a while. But if the reform succeeded, what about the future generations?
Could it be reformed as well? And overturn everything that the predecessors had done?
Therefore, it became a dead knot. Throughout history, there were very few who succeeded.
Even if they succeeded, the founders would not have a good ending.
Now, it was the turn of the Second Empire. What was changed was not anything else, but the ancestral system of sacrifices!
This was a world with cultivators and magical powers!
All cultivators could claim to be the descendants of the ancestral ancestors. Chen Wenji's attitude was proof.
As for the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect, they had always been close to the imperial court. Their disciples were all in a mess.
This made Chung Shen-soo not very optimistic about the old emperor's actions.
'Is it because he feels that he is about to die and wants to be more unrestrained? If he succeeds, he might be able to extend his lifespan? '
Chung Shen-soo's gaze was cold.
The emperor's actions had nothing to do with him. However, the Su family still had some karma.
"All in all, the world will be in chaos from the start of the Sky Bearing Era."
Chen Wenji let out a bitter laugh. "The Nine Palace Mountain is the source of chaos. It used to be a demon-sealing cave. Recently, there have been many strange movements. There is demonic aura leaking out, causing chaos in all directions … The Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect was ordered to guard this place. However, we were coveted by the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect. Both sides fought many times, with both winning and losing.
"So, you thought of me?"
Chung Shen-soo let out a bitter laugh.
Even in the war between the righteous and demonic sects, it was always the pawns who fought first.
The Primal Core and Yuan Shen cultivators were all immortals. Of course, they would not be willing to risk their lives.
On the other hand, the Xiantian cultivators were too weak.
Therefore, the ones who died the most were the cultivators with the Divine Powers!
Even though the Supreme Dragon Tiger Sect was a powerful sect, they also felt that they were in trouble.
Therefore, the newly appointed deacon, Su Daozhi, was promoted by the frontline to be a Dao General.
"That's right. In the battles of the Divine Powers, Junior Brother Su has the Nine Heavenly Light to protect himself. He is almost invincible …"
Chen Wenji mentioned a few famous disciples of the Demonic Sects and Daoist Sects, reminding Chung Shen-soo to be careful.
The Netherworld Hellspawn, Yellow Evil, was one of them.
"What is an ill-fated relationship? This is an ill-fated relationship."
Chung Shen-soo rolled his eyes and let out a bitter laugh. "The Netherworld Demon Sect, the Five Lotus Sect, the Demonic Sect … Half of the Six Paths of the Demonic Sect have arrived. Is this really the beginning of the era of war?"
"We also have experts on our side. Junior Brother, don't worry. The battles of the Divine Powers will only be limited to cultivators with the Divine Powers."
Chen Wenji consoled.
