391 Declaration of War against the Heavenly Court
In the Heavenly Court, in the Soaring Heaven King Palace…
At that moment, Jade Emperor Haotian was sitting on his throne, constantly deducing The Investiture of Gods.
Since it was related to the future changes of the Heavenly Court, Haotian was still very concerned about the ceremony.
In the void, the names of hundreds of gods and immortals floated.
“It’s finally about to start. Looking at the time, the North Sea should be rebelling soon. As long as Wen Zhong leaves, the fortune of the Shang dynasty will fall. I wonder what the Saints will do.”
Haotian looked at the empty Numinous Sky Hall and waved his hand. The names of hundreds of immortals fell in different positions.
“Haha, my dear ministers, I’ll be waiting for you to return to your thrones—”
However, just as Haotian’s voice fell, suddenly, heaven and earth shook violently. A streak of destiny power shot straight into the Heavenly Court, shaking the Soaring Heaven King Palace.
“What happened? Why would they attack the Heavenly Court!?”
Haotian suddenly stood up, divine light shooting out of his eyes. A strand of spiritual thoughts instantly traveled to the three realms to find out what the problem was.
“How is that possible? The human race’s luck is actually increasing!?”
Haotian was very surprised. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the luck of the human race had long been divided up. However, for some reason, the declined luck of the human race had increased a lot at this time.
Before Haotian could continue to investigate, a priest ran over in fear and reported, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, bad news! The River God of Wei River has been killed, and his primordial spirit has been destroyed!”
In an instant, Haotian’s expression changed drastically. As he tried to calculate, the heavenly secrets backfired, and a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The great tribulation was approaching, and the backlash from calculating the heavenly secrets at this time was extremely strong.
However, Haotian did know the reason.
Haotian suddenly said angrily, “Mere humans! How dare you kill the gods and steal the fortune of the Heavenly Court!? I can’t do anything to the people of the Jie Sect, but I can do anything against the Shang dynasty!”
Haotian was burning with anger and immediately ordered, “The Emperor of Shang, Di Xin, has disrespected and killed the gods of the Heavenly Court. All gods within the Shang dynasty will no longer protect the human race.”
The next moment. a decree flew out from the Numinous Sky Hall.
A voice echoed in the minds of all gods conferred by the Heavenly Court at the same time.
“Imperial Decree! From this moment on, the gods of the Heavenly Court will leave the borders of the Shang dynasty and will no longer protect its people. Those who disobey will be expelled from the God Record and dealt with like demons.”
In an instant, heaven and earth were shocked.
Great Shang was the most prosperous place in the eastern continent. There were countless human believers there, and their incense offerings were also the highest.
At that moment, the Jade Emperor actually gave an order for all the gods to leave the Shang dynasty.
‘Not good!’
Even the gods were wondering what had happened.
Soon, the news that Emperor Xin had ordered Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong to kill the River God of Wei River spread across the land.
The gods were furious.
The gods’ fury exploded in the world, affecting the weather—lightningings flashed, thunder rumbled, and storms raged!
Then, countless spirits stuck their heads out of the mountains and rivers, looking in the Shang dynasty’s direction coldly.
“We are the gods who protect the human race, but a human king killed a god. Today, he killed the River God of Wei River, and tomorrow, he will kill us!”
“It’s time to let the human race know who is wreaking havoc in the primeval land, and who is protecting them from natural disasters!”
Within the borders of Great Shang, temples crumbled and statues flew away!
Countless people who were paying their respects to the temples were scared out of their wits, shouting for the gods to forgive them.
These god statues grew flesh and blood in the air, turning back into their true forms. They looked coldly at the living beings under their feet, and their emotionless voices came down from the sky.
“Your Emperor of Shang wants to kill me. I don’t dare to stay here. You humans are treacherous! I protected you, but you slaughtered my kind. You are not worthy of my protection!”
“Your Emperor of Shang has gone mad and is killing gods. You guys should escape. Escape from the Shang dynasty’s territory and follow me to the East and North Sea. I will still protect you.”
“The Shang dynasty’s luck is over. From now on, there will be natural disasters and rebellions everywhere. Run!”
The bewitching voices of the gods resounded throughout the nine regions.
The commoners wailed, and many of them actually left with the gods.
Great Shang also fell into chaos at this moment.
The voice of the Jade Emperor could be heard throughout the entire Great Shang.
“A human king killed a god, angering the heavens! The Heavenly Court orders the human king to personally set up an altar to beg for forgiveness from the heavens, so that his crimes can be pardoned and the gods can return to their positions.”
The decree flew out from the Southern Heavenly Gate and turned into a ray of golden light, flying toward the Shang dynasty. In the end, it turned into a vast number of words and appeared in the sky above the Shang dynasty.
The people of the Shang dynasty knelt on the ground in fear, not knowing what to do.
Instantly, all eyes were on the Shang dynasty.
Zhao Hao, Grand Preceptor Wen, and the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island had just arrived in the capital when they encountered this situation.
Grand Preceptor Wen flew into a rage and was about to fly up to shatter the decree in the air.
Unexpectedly, a guard rushed in under the orders of Emperor of Shang, Di Xin. He urgently called for Wen Zhong to enter the palace.
Wen Zhong didn’t even think and directly flew into the palace.
A moment later, a golden light shot into the sky.
Wen Zhong’s Yin-Yang Whips directly shattered the decree in the air, and his voice resounded through the sky.
“My King said that if a god is guilty, He can kill the god. This land is the territory of the human race. No one has the right to tell Him what to do. My King is the king of the human race. Jade Emperor, if you have any opinions, you can come to Zhaoge and speak to My King!”
As the voice rang out, the entire world fell silent.
...
In the Soaring Heaven King Palace, Haotian’s face turned extremely ugly.
The three religions had a Saint behind them, so it was fine that they didn’t take him seriously.
Now, even a mere human king from the lower realm was ignoring his dignity as the master of the three realms.
“Good, good, good. I’ll see how a mortal like you can defy the heavens. All gods, listen up! You are not to stay in the Shang dynasty!”
At the Shang dynasty…
Zhao Hao didn’t go to meet with Emperor Xin.
Based on Emperor Xin’s performance, Zhao Hao was certain that he was a transmigrator, and a very powerful one at that.
In the Great World, the heaven-defying villains were about to gain a firm foothold in the beginning.
‘This is an expert. In that case, we can cooperate.’
Zhao Hao’s eyes shone with wisdom.
Di Xin was indeed a worthy ally, and Zhao Hao had found many shortcuts to use him as a springboard.
...
‘I wonder how this guy is going to face the Heavenly Court’s counterattack…’
Zhao Hao, who was already familiar with this world, knew very well the importance of the gods to the human race.
Even though Emperor Xin had improved the human race’s equipment, without the protection of the gods, the human race was still in great danger.
Not long after, Zhao Hao saw how Emperor Xin would respond.
The Emperor of Shang, Di Xin, had issued three edicts.
