Chapter 297 Emperor Xiaotian: King Zhou is a bit mentally ill.

"If I lose, I lose. I chose the wrong target right from the start. I shouldn't have pointed my spearhead at Lady Nuwa first."

In recent years, Yuanshi Tianwang and Tongtian Jiaozhu are not the only ones who have been reflecting.

As one of the protagonists of the Conferred Gods Tribulation and also a loser, King Zhou has reflected on himself countless times.

He never doubted his original intention, but a good intention does not mean that the means and process are all right.

"Nuwa is the most friendly saint to the human race among the six saints. Even if I want to become a saint, I should not drag her into it." King Zhou reflected, "The Jiejiao had almost merged with the Shang Dynasty at that time, so the first target I should have attacked was Yuanshi Tianwang or the two saints of the Western Sect, so that both sides would suffer losses. Unfortunately, I only figured it out afterwards. At that time, I just felt that the incense in the Wa Palace was too prosperous, and the divine power overwhelmed the royal power, which was too annoying for me."

Zhuge Liang’s strongest form is being a wise man after the event.

Although King Zhou was not Zhuge Liang, he only realized how to maximize his benefits after the fact.

Unfortunately, there is no chance to repeat the history of the ancient fairyland.

One wrong step can be irreversible.

Even saints are like this.

King Zhou also had no foresight.

“If I had been the first to target Yuanshi Tianwang, perhaps the holy war of the Conferred God Tribulation would have been more intense, and a saint might have really fallen.”

Countless years have passed, and King Zhou has been able to face his failure calmly: "Nuwa Niangniang chose the wrong target to provoke. After Nuwa Niangniang found out something was wrong, she started to withdraw. I only had time to incite the three goblins sent by the Niangniang to rebel, and there was no way I could get Nuwa Niangniang to join the battle."

The great magician Xuandu said in a deep voice: "You are too greedy and want too much. The power of the two races of witches and liches still remains, and the strength of the descendants of Pangu and the innate gods and demons is far beyond that of the human race. At the time of the Conferred God Tribulation, you took action against the descendants of Pangu and the innate gods and demons. Your courage is commendable, but there was not much possibility of success from the beginning."

King Zhou nodded, agreeing with Master Xuandu's opinion: "Looking back, it is true, but I was too young back then."

Master Xuandu: "..."

"Back then, I was young and full of ambition. I inherited the Nine Cauldrons and controlled the world at a young age. I was disgusted by the gods and ghosts everywhere. Although Goddess Nuwa did nothing, Prime Minister Shang Rong asked me to pay homage to the statue of Nuwa as the king of men. I immediately regarded Goddess Nuwa as an enemy."

King Zhou had never told these inside stories before, nor did he dare to tell them.

If the person facing him today was not the Great Master Xuandu, he would not dare to say it either.

But he had been holding it in his heart for a long time.

"When the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the biggest crime they charged me with was disrespecting the heavens and not worshipping the ancestral temple. Since the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty has been worshipping ghosts and gods. There was even a perception at that time that the most important affairs of the country were worship and war, which was simply ridiculous.

"Because of the worship of ghosts and gods, the divine power in the Shang Dynasty far outweighs the imperial power. Grand Master Wen Zhong is a third-generation outer disciple of Jiejiao, and Prime Minister Shang Rong also opposes my abolition of the worship. The control of the divine power over the Shang Dynasty has touched my bottom line. Shang Rong's letter asking me to worship Nuwa directly ignited my long-suppressed anger.

"So I first vented my anger towards theocracy on Nuwa... My greatest sin was not disrespecting the heavens or worshipping the ancestral temple, but my poor ability to manage my emotions."

Master Xuandu expressed a certain degree of agreement.

After guessing the truth, he admired King Zhou's ambition and original intention, but did not admire King Zhou's methods.

He is brave, but too impulsive.

If the human race is in danger of extinction like during the Lich Catastrophe, of course we have to fight hard.

But in the era of King Zhou, the human race was thriving, so there was really no need to gamble one's fortune on a battle with the descendants of Pangu and the innate gods and demons, whose strength far surpassed that of humans.

At that time, it could really be said that time was on the side of humanity.

But King Zhou was too impatient.

If it is accomplished, it will naturally benefit future generations.

If he failed, he would be in the same situation as King Zhou is now - infamous for all eternity.

King Zhou himself admitted it: "I have ended up like this because of my own fault. Master, please learn from my mistakes and don't repeat them."

The great master Xuandu said in a deep voice: "It is not enough to just take you as a warning. Your Majesty, have you ever thought that at the end of the Conferred God Tribulation, Master Tongtian almost destroyed the world and restarted the universe."

King Zhou shook his head: "I haven't thought about it, but he can't succeed. All parties will not allow it."

"Then, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what attitude Nuwa would have towards the human race after knowing all this?"

King Zhou said with a slight mockery: "She can't know. No saint can know. The saints who are high above will never tolerate ants. Even if they can't find any evidence, they will always believe that there must be other saints behind the scenes manipulating my writing of poems."

Master Xuandu did not refute.

From the current perspective, what King Zhou said was right.

It was not until he defeated Zhunti that he realized that there might be a most reasonable explanation for what happened that year - the mastermind who could not be found did not exist at all.

King Zhou continued to mock, "There is a famous saying that fits this matter very well - weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, but arrogance is. Saints are all arrogant."

Master Xuandu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Don't you think you are arrogant now?"

King Zhou was stunned.

"The fact that the saint didn't know it before and doesn't know it now doesn't mean that he won't know it in the future. My king, you made a decision that could bury the entire human race. Therefore, you must bear the corresponding consequences for this. The price you have paid so far is far from enough."

The voice of the great master Xuandu returned to calm, even cold: "The saints didn't expect that you would be the one plotting against the saints because the saints are too powerful. If the human race wants to rise, it must indeed overcome the two mountains of Pangu's descendants and the innate gods and demons, but this is not something your generation should consider. I joined the Human Religion, and Ksitigarbha joined the Western Religion. The Emperor Fuxi and the Goddess Nuwa have a deep relationship. Originally, among the six saints, three saints could stand firmly on the side of our human race. Because of you, these three votes are unstable."

King Zhou frowned and said, "How can one live long-term by relying on others for support?"

"When you are weak, the first thing you consider is survival. You can't even walk, but you want to fly?" The tone of the great magician Xuandu began to be slightly sarcastic: "My king, your biggest problem is not your ability to manage your emotions, but that you had too smooth a life in the first half of your life. So, you always thought that everything would go smoothly. You don't know how humble and cautious the human race has been to get to where it is now. When you don't have the ability, you suppress your ambition in your heart. Do humans have the strength to regard the Six Saints as enemies? Even if they have the strength, is it necessary?"

Master Xuandu shook his head.

"Politics is about making your own people more numerous and your enemies fewer. Your political ability is far inferior to the people I favor, and your loss is not unfair at all. I am not sure whether Goddess Nuwa can know the truth this time, but I want to do something to make up for the rage that Goddess Nuwa will have after knowing the truth. Therefore, Xuandu will lend you something."

King Zhou was silent.

Master Xuandu did not give him a choice: "Your Majesty did not give us a choice back then, and we wrote that poem. So today, I will not give Your Majesty a choice. Karma is a cycle, and retribution is inevitable. Your Majesty will probably accept his fate."

The winner takes it all!

If you win, everything you say is right.

If you lose, just accept your fate.

"Please die, my king!"

…

Map of mountains, rivers and the country.

Inside Nuwa Palace.

The information Ji Changsheng knew at this time was far less than that of Master Xuandu.

But he vaguely guessed the truth.

I'm afraid there is no mastermind behind this.

King Zhou became king at a young age, inherited the Nine Cauldrons, and controlled thousands of worlds. I'm afraid he regarded himself as the protagonist of the universe and was ready to take a big gamble, hoping to completely overwhelm divine authority with imperial power.

That's not a problem either.

The question is, are you crazy that you aimed your first shot at Nuwa?

Ji Changsheng didn't understand.

You fire at Haotian.

Did Goddess Nuwa provoke you?

Or do you believe the rumor that Nuwa is the last among the Six Saints?

Or was it simply that Nuwa caught up with him? King Zhou didn't have any particular target, so he just caught up with whoever he wanted?

Ji Changsheng was uncertain, but the image of King Zhou in his mind became much clearer:

This guy should be from the same faction as gambler Yang Guang.

The winner is Emperor Wu of Han.

The loser is Yang Guang.

Let’s gamble together with the whole world.

Obviously, King Zhou lost.

Thinking of this, Ji Changsheng was cursing his mother in his heart. Of course, the one he was cursing was the Jade Purity Goddess.

Ji Changsheng would never scold Nuwa.

"This guy gave me a difficult problem."

"The Three Saints definitely haven't seen through the truth yet. It's hard for them to think that it was King Zhou who was causing trouble. After all, King Zhou is too weak in their eyes."

"So should I confess to my mother?"

This involves the issue of loyalty being not absolute, or absolutely not loyal.

If he did not confess to Nuwa, and Nuwa learned the truth from other sources, his position as the young master of the Nuwa Palace would not be secure.

Of course, he could also explain that he hadn't guessed the truth either.

Even what he guessed might not be the truth.

But Ji Changsheng rarely doubts himself.

And he confirmed that Nuwa had never thought of this possibility.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As long as he tells Nuwa about this possibility, Nuwa's trust in him will increase again.

From this perspective, Ji Changsheng could sell King Zhou to Nuwa without any psychological burden. He did not sympathize with King Zhou at all. This guy dared to seek death and should be aware of the consequences.

The problem is that Ji Changsheng is not worried about King Zhou, but that Nuwa will vent her anger on the entire human race because of King Zhou.

This is the really tricky issue.

If Ji Changsheng were Nuwa, he felt that he would easily vent his anger on others.

"Damn King Zhou, there's something seriously wrong with his brain."

Ji Changsheng couldn't help but curse out loud.

There is no problem with being a saint.

Go straight to Zhunti.

I will definitely protect you.

How can I protect you when you are facing Nuwa?

Jade Purity Goddess thought Ji Changsheng was scolding King Zhou for her, and was moved, but she remained rational: "This matter has nothing to do with King Zhou. Anyone who dares to make a move in Nuwa Palace must be a powerful Daluo. There is no need to vent your anger on King Zhou."

Ji Changsheng thought that this was probably what King Zhou was planning.

Even if the deed was done, no one would think that he was the one who did it.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Ji Changsheng didn't think King Zhou's behavior was wrong, but no matter what, you didn't win! Adults must learn to pay the price for their choices.

Ji Changsheng gritted his teeth and made a quick decision: "Mother, I will not allow anyone to insult you."

These words are not meant for Jade Purity Goddess.

It was said for the goddess Nuwa to hear.

When Ji Changsheng was expressing his loyalty, King Zhou had just finished writing a poem in Nuwa Palace. He thought that Prime Minister Shang Rong and others would definitely speak out against him and advise him. He was ready to respond, but he saw that Shang Rong and others had dull eyes.

King Zhou was very surprised and asked: "Why are you all like this?"

Shang Rong knelt on the ground with a plop: "This is not the statue of Nuwa."

"What?"

King Zhou was also confused.

Isn’t it Nuwa?

He had never worshipped before and didn't know what the statue of Nuwa looked like, so he just rolled up his sleeves and went up.

When King Zhou heard Shang Rong say this, his brain started to fail.

"If it's not a statue of Nuwa, why would it appear in Nuwa Palace?"

Although the Jade Purity Goddess has some fame in the mortal world, she is not too famous, and is far from goddesses of the same rank as Nuwa.

Although many of the Shang officials were disciples of Jiejiao, most of them were third-generation outer disciples and were not qualified to meet the Jade Purity Goddess.

So for a moment, no one present recognized that this was the statue of Jade Purity Goddess.

But Ji Changsheng took the initiative to help King Zhou claim it.

"You bastard, you dare to blaspheme the Mother of God, you deserve to die."

After Ji Changsheng finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck King Zhou.

The sky was struck by lightning and the gods were angry.

All the ministers of the Shang Dynasty knelt down instantly.

But half of them still stood firm, and King Zhou was even more eager to fight. Although he was frightened, he remained calm and there was even excitement in his eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you assassinate me? Protect me."

Ji Changsheng did not confront King Zhou head-on.

He simply used magic to simulate six pure bamboos to shatter the thunder.

Before, when he was in the "Land of Immortality", Ji Changsheng had used the Yuantu Sword to chopped the projection of the Six Pure Bamboos into pieces, so he had an impression of the Six Pure Bamboos.

There were also many connoisseurs among the people present, who quickly recognized the sacred treasure, the Six Roots of Pure Bamboo.

"It is the six pure bamboos."

"The sacred treasure of the second leader of the Western religion, the Saint Cundi."

"The Six Pure Bamboos are... protecting Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is actually related to the Western Religious Saint Zhunti."

Many Jiejiao disciples among the ministers of the Shang Dynasty began to think deeply.

After Ji Changsheng completed the task of blaming others, he quickly retreated with the Jade Purity Goddess.

The current King Zhou is protected by the Nine Cauldrons and the luck of the King of Man. Unless a saint kills him forcefully, Ji Changsheng cannot kill him.

Even ordinary powerful warriors might not dare to kill King Zhou directly.

However, Ji Changsheng has already made up his mind - to kill this guy, use his head to honor his mother, and secure his position as the young master of the Wa Palace.

After all, King Zhou failed in history.

It is simply unrealistic to expect King Zhou to change his fate. It would be better to make use of the waste.

Ji Changsheng sent a message to Cao Ziming: "Brother Cao, we have found King Zhou's only son, Wu Geng. We will not play Investiture of the Gods with them anymore. Let's play Chronicles of Wu Geng directly."

The human king Di Xin cannot be killed.

Then he can't be the king of men.

As a king of mankind, he actually colluded with Western religions. He should have abdicated in shame.

Wu Geng was a young hero who would become the great leader of the Shang Dynasty.

After completing the arrangements, Ji Changsheng took the initiative to contact Nuwa.

"Mom, let's talk in private. You should stay away from Yuanshi Tianwang and Tongtian Jiaozhu."

The emperor is bad, and the people below are all good.

Emperor Xiaotian starts to mend the sky! 　4000 words first, more during the day, on the last day of November, please vote for next month
