When Yuan Futong and the other seventy-two warlords of Beihai discussed surrendering together and going to Chaoge to apologize to Yin Zicheng, they decided to go to Chaoge to apologize with thorns on their backs.
The celestial beings sent by Haotian could no longer sit still. They had been ordered to disrupt the Shang Dynasty, and they certainly could not allow the lords of the North Sea to surrender so easily.
"So what if Yin Zicheng is back? He's just a mere True Immortal. With us here, he can't do anything to you!"
"If you surrender now and lose the support of our Heavenly Court, you will have no hope of achieving anything great!"
It's a pity that these celestial beings in the Heavenly Court didn't know that Yin Zicheng's strength had undergone a complete transformation, and he had become the senior disciple of the Jie Sect.
Haotian didn't even inform them, treating them entirely as cannon fodder in the fight against the Shang Dynasty!
Faced with the advice of the celestial beings.
The princes of Beihai shook their heads like rattles.
I don't believe you for a second! You immortals are wicked!
They confidently told us before that the Holy Ancestor wouldn't be coming back, and we've already been fooled once. Now they're trying to fool us again?
We're not stupid, why would we fall for your tricks again?
then.
No matter how the celestial beings in the heavens tried to persuade them, the lords of the North Sea were determined to go to Chaoge to apologize to Yin Zicheng!
......
Xiqi.
Ever since the strange phenomenon of the phoenix singing in Qishan appeared, Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, one of the four great marquises of the Shang Dynasty, couldn't help but have his mind wandering.
Afterwards, the immortals of the Chan Sect descended upon Xiqi, which further solidified Ji Chang's belief that he was the chosen one of Heaven.
He believed that he would be able to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and establish a new dynasty, just as Yin Zicheng, the sage ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, had overthrown the Xia Dynasty!
However, the Shang Dynasty was powerful and Ji Chang was shrewd and calculating. Even if he had such thoughts, he did not dare to publicize them.
He secretly plotted, waiting for the opportune moment for Xiqi to rise up.
Of course, a very important reason why Ji Chang dared to have such thoughts was that Yin Zicheng had not appeared for a long time.
Moreover, the immortal of the Chan Sect told him that the Great Shang Ancestor Yin Zicheng no longer cared about the Great Shang, and that he could act freely.
This is very important.
Yin Zicheng, the great ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, had accumulated his prestige over six hundred years, making him an insurmountable mountain weighing on everyone's hearts.
Ji Chang was very clear about just how high Yin Zicheng's prestige was.
With Yin Zicheng around, the chances of his uprising succeeding will plummet!
......
Upon receiving news of Yin Zicheng's return, Ji Chang was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
What's going on?!
Didn't the immortals of the Chan Sect say that the Mandate of Heaven was in Xiqi, and that the Holy Ancestor Yin Zicheng, who protected the country, dared not disobey the Mandate of Heaven and had already abandoned the Shang Dynasty?
Why is Yin Zicheng back now?
Could it be that his destiny is a lie?
No! Absolutely not!
The extraordinary phenomenon of the phoenix singing in Qishan cannot be faked!
The importance attached to this by the Holy Ones sect is also undeniable!
You are destiny!
Even the mighty Ancestor who protects the nation cannot defy the will of Heaven!
Ji Chang comforted himself in this way.
After all, he had no way out.
After so many years of preparing for the uprising, his hair has now turned completely white.
If we give up now, wouldn't all our efforts over half a lifetime be wasted?
Moreover! Despite his careful preparations, some traces were inevitably left behind.
You might be able to fool others, but you might not be able to fool Yin Zicheng!
Therefore, even knowing that Yin Zicheng had returned, even knowing that Yin Zicheng was powerful, Ji Chang still wanted to take a gamble and still wanted to tell himself that he was the one destined by Heaven!
......
Ji Chang thought about it alone for a long time.
Then, he summoned his trusted confidants, including Boyi Kao, Ji Fa, San Yisheng, and Nangong Shi.
When everyone arrived, Ji Chang frowned, his gray eyebrows furrowed, and asked:
"Gentlemen, news has come from Chaoge that the Holy Ancestor has returned from the Immortal Holy Land and is currently reorganizing the Great Shang!"
What are your thoughts on this?
Everyone present was Ji Chang's most trusted confidant, and they all knew of Ji Chang's ambition to replace the Shang Dynasty.
They are all working hard to prepare for this.
Ji Chang's words were like a bolt from the blue for them, leaving them utterly shocked.
"How could this be? Didn't the immortal say that the Mandate of Heaven was in Xiqi, and that the Holy Ancestor dared not defy the Mandate of Heaven and would not return? This is truly terrible!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest son, Boyi Kao, frowned deeply.
"Lord Bo, this matter is extremely bad! The Holy Ancestor's prestige is too high. With him overseeing the Great Shang, the difficulty of our uprising will increase a hundredfold!"
San Yisheng, the senior physician of Xiqi, said in a solemn voice:
"However, with the auspicious sign of the phoenix singing on Mount Qi and the support of the disciples of the Sage's Sect, Xiqi is surely destined by Heaven!"
"No matter how strong the Holy Ancestor is, can he be stronger than the Mandate of Heaven?"
"I believe our uprising will succeed, though it will be much more difficult..."
Seeing that San Yisheng shared the same thought as him, believing that destiny lay with Xiqi, Ji Chang felt even more confident.
He nodded and said:
"That's what I think too."
"Those who achieve great things throughout history have never succeeded easily. With our Holy Ancestor here, our success will be much more difficult. However, the Mandate of Heaven is with Xiqi. No matter how difficult our journey, we will ultimately prevail!"
"No dynasty lasts forever. The Xia Dynasty will fall, and the Shang Dynasty, which has lasted for over six hundred years, will also fall!"
"The Holy Ancestor may be strong, but he cannot overcome the will of Heaven!"
"We, Xiqi, will be the ultimate winners!"
Ji Chang spoke louder and louder.
The more he talked, the more confident he became.
His destiny is in the hands of Heaven; what does he have to fear?
Just go for it!
