Xia Jie had a subordinate named Guan Longxing. When he heard the angry voices of the people, he advised Xia Jie, "The Emperor is humble and trustworthy. He is thrifty and cherishes talents. Only then can the world be peaceful and the dynasty can be stable. Unlike His Majesty, who is extravagant and bloodthirsty, the people hope that you will die soon. His Majesty has lost the hearts of the people. Only by correcting his mistakes can he win back the hearts of the people."
When Xia Jie heard this, he scolded Guan Longxing and ordered him to be killed. Xia Jie believed that his rule would never be destroyed. Hence, he said, "There is a sun in the sky, just like how I have my people. Will the sun perish? When the sun perishes, I will perish. "He also called for a meeting with his subordinates to prepare for a war against other tribes.
Because of this, Xia Jie gradually lost the hearts of the people and caused them to betray him. At this time, there was a Shang tribe in the human race. Under the leadership of Tang, they gradually prospered. Xia Jie was worried that Shang Tang would endanger him, so he found an excuse to imprison him in Xia Tai. When the Shang tribe learned of this, they hurriedly sent Xia Jie a large sum of money and bribed Xia Jie's trusted subordinates to release Tang.
After Shang Tang returned, he used his kindness to win the hearts of the people and fought for their support.
Once, when he was out playing, he saw a man hanging a net on a tree. He then muttered to himself, "No matter if they come from the sky or the ground, all the birds that come from all directions will fly into the net." Tang said to him, "You are too much. How can you kill all the birds in the net? You can remove one side of the net and leave three sides of the net. "
The farmer did as he was told. Tang Zhu said, "Birds, if you want to go left, go left. If you want to go right, go right. Only the birds that don't listen to me will fly into the net." After the news of Shang Tang being lenient spread, the people praised him for his kindness to the people and supported him. Tang's power grew stronger.
At this time, the disciples of the Jie Sect had completely given up on the Xia Dynasty. After seeing Shang Tang's benevolence, the Tongtian Sect Master decisively ordered his disciples to come out again to assist Shang Tang. Shang Tang's reputation soared. With the support of the Jie Sect, Shang Tang finally began to crusade against the Xia Dynasty.
Shang Tang continued to accuse Xia Jie of being tyrannical and tyrannical. He called upon the small countries under the Xia Dynasty to abandon Xia Jie and submit to the Shang Dynasty. Those who did not listen to his advice, he sent out troops to destroy them. For example, Ge, Wei, Gu and other countries under the Xia Dynasty, in order to cut off Xia Jie's wings. The more Shang Tang fought, the stronger he became. He was invincible under the heavens while Xia Jie was isolated.
Tang also moved the capital to Hao, using it as a stronghold to advance and prepare to destroy the Xia Dynasty. Tang also accepted Yiyin's suggestion to stop paying tribute to the Xia Dynasty to test Xia Jie's strength. When Jie saw this, he ordered the Jiuyi Tribe to attack the Shang Dynasty. At this time, Jie could still mobilize the Jiuyi Tribe.
When Tang and Yiyin saw that the people were not completely disappointed in Jie, they immediately apologized and resumed paying tribute to Xia Jie. Jie also forgave Shang Tang. A few years later, the Jiuyi Tribe could not stand Jie's tyrannical rule and betrayed him, causing Jie's power to weaken greatly. When Tang and Yiyin saw that the time was right, Tang gathered his troops and sent out troops to attack the Xia Dynasty. When Jie received the news, he led his troops to Mingtiao.
When the two armies fought, the Xia soldiers were not willing to risk their lives for Jie. They took the opportunity to escape. Xia Jie could not stop them and could only escape into the city. The Shang Army chased after him. Jie hurriedly brought his sister and treasures across the river to Nanchao. Later, he was caught by Cheng Tang and was exiled.
After the Vassal Meeting, Cheng Tui took the position of Vassal. The Vassals all elected Cheng Tui as the Emperor. Thus, Cheng Tui ascended the throne and became known as the Shang Dynasty. At this point, the Xia Dynasty, which had been around for three thousand and five hundred years, came to an end.
At this time, the reputation of the Jie Order in the human race had increased greatly. As the sacred land of the human race had not appeared for thousands of years, the human race in the outside world had gradually forgotten about it. Many people even thought that it was just a legend. Three thousand years of time was very far away for an ordinary person. It was normal for them to forget about it.
Shang Tang established the Xia Dynasty with the support of the Jie Order. Naturally, he relied heavily on the Jie Order. He established the Jie Order as the national religion. Generations of emperors had disciples of the Jie Order to assist them or accept them as disciples. Naturally, the reputation of the Jie Order in the human race had increased greatly.
However, Tongtian was not a narrow-minded person. Although the Tribe of Jieism was at its peak in the Human Tribe, he did not deliberately suppress other sects, especially the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect. After all, they were the sects established by his two elder brothers. He could even give up some vassal states of the Human Tribe for them to preach. However, this move also made Heavenly Lord Yuanshi unhappy.
Naturally, Lao Tzu did not care about the Tongtian Sect Leader's goodwill. However, Yuanshi was different. He cared about his reputation. In private, Yuanshi was the second elder brother of the Tongtian Sect Leader. In public, Yuanshi was the second elder brother of the Tongtian Sect Leader. Now that the Tongtian Sect Leader wanted to give up, how could Yuanshi be willing to accept this?
Fortunately, his disciples did not disappoint him. Guang Chengzi and the Burning Lamp Taoist broke through to the Quasi-saint realm one after another. This made Yuanshi proud in front of the other Sages. Apart from River Styx who had two disciples who were Quasi-saint, Yuanshi was the only one who had two disciples who were Quasi-saint. How could he not be proud?
Compared to the open and secret fights during the Great Desolation, the Blood Sea was much calmer. For thousands of years, there had not been any waves in the Blood Sea. Under the Zhouxing Formation, the Blood God of River Styx cultivated quietly. The Ashura Tribe hid in the Blood Sea, absorbing the Evil Blood Qi and using the Zhouxing Force to temper their bodies.
However, one day, a crack suddenly appeared on the Sacred Island, and a figure walked out of it. Red Lotus Taoist, who was cultivating in seclusion, woke up immediately. Looking at the figure, Red Lotus Taoist said with a smile, "Deity, you came back early. I thought you wouldn't come back until the Apotheosized War!"
This figure was River Styx, who had left the Great Desolation for a long time. Hearing Red Lotus Taoist's name, River Styx couldn't help but ask, "The Apotheosized War hasn't started yet? I've been away for more than five thousand years. I thought the Apotheosized War was over, but it hasn't started yet. "
Red Lotus Taoist said with a smile, "This is the Great Desolation, and we can't judge it based on history. Although the human emperors didn't become immortals, they could prolong their lives by cultivating the Way of Immortality or the Way of Martial Arts. Naturally, they would have a longer lifespan. Now that the Xia Dynasty is gone and the Shang Dynasty is thriving, the Shang Dynasty has less than ten emperors. The Apotheosized War won't start for another thousand years."
River Styx said with a smile, "Yeah, I forgot. After all, this is the Great Desolation, and the change of dynasties is different. But it's good, I can make it in time for the Apotheosized War. Since that's the case, I need to make a good plan."
Red Lotus Taoist smiled and didn't say anything. He sensed the aura of River Styx and the Qiankun Taoist, who was hiding among the flowers. Red Lotus Taoist said with a smile, "Deity, it seems that you've gained a lot from this trip to the Chaos World!"
River Styx nodded and said with a satisfied smile, "Of course. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the 3,000 years I've spent? But you, now that the Red Lotus of Hellfire is complete, it's already a Top Grade Primordial Treasure. Although your cultivation hasn't broken through, I'm afraid it won't be long. "
After River Styx left, Red Lotus Taoist began to use his Red Lotus of Hellfire to devour the Level Nine Virtuous Golden Lotus. After he succeeded, the Red Lotus of Hellfire was complete, and naturally, it was promoted to a Top Grade Primordial Treasure. The Red Lotus of Hellfire was Red Lotus Taoist's physical body. When the Red Lotus of Hellfire was upgraded, Red Lotus Taoist's physical cultivation improved as well. Unfortunately, the Law of Karma and the Law of Slaughter were still in the Early-stage of the Origin, but he believed that they would break through soon.
River Styx looked at Red Lotus Taoist and asked, "I left the Great Desolation for more than 5,000 years. During this time, did anything major happen in the Great Desolation? How are Liu Er, Kong Xuan and Black Tortoise? Have there been any changes in the Sages and their sects? "
Hearing this, Red Lotus Taoist smiled and said, "The Sages didn't do anything. They were just fighting for Fate in the Human Tribe. But among their disciples, Xuandu, Guangchengzi, Burning Lamp, Duobao and Medicine Master broke through to the Quasi-saint realm one after another. As for Liu Er, Kong Xuan and Black Tortoise, they all made breakthroughs in their cultivation, which is not bad."
River Styx nodded. There were no big changes. Although some disciples of the four sects had broken through to the Quasi-saint realm, Liu Er and Kong Xuan were much more powerful than them. River Styx didn't care. But when Red Lotus Taoist mentioned Liu Er, he looked a little strange, which made River Styx curious, so he asked, "Did something happen to Liu Er?"
Red Lotus Taoist smiled and said, "Something did happen to Liu Er, but it's a good thing. He's now with Haotian's sister, Yaoji. They're living a happy life in front of flowers and under the moonlight. They're really an immortal couple, so enviable."
