Chapter 880 The Emperor's Edict
In order to protect their own interests, neither humanity, the collective of the thoughts of all living beings, nor Nuwa, the human controller of humanity, would allow the Heavenly Way's schemes to succeed!
When Emperor Xin stripped the lineage of the Marquis of Xibo of their human status for Ji Fa's crime of disregarding the lives of human soldiers, the humane authorities readily agreed!
How could Heaven possibly agree to Humanity's decision? Just as Heaven was preparing to put pressure on Humanity, the Eye of Earth manifested in the primordial world, joining Humanity in resisting Heaven!
Although Heaven was extremely unwilling, it was helpless. After all, with the Human Path and the Earth Path joining forces, even the strongest of the three paths, Heaven, had to consider whether it was worth fighting to the death!
After the Heavenly Dao withdrew, Ji Fa and his ninety-eight brothers were stripped of their human identities by the Human Dao. The moment they lost their human identities, the prosperity of Xiqi came to a standstill, and Xiqi's fortune also dissipated at an extremely fast speed. Ji Fa's Ziwei True Qi also disappeared without a trace after losing his human identity!
After learning that the lineage of the Marquis of Xibo had lost its mandate of heaven, Emperor Xin breathed a sigh of relief. However, Emperor Xin knew very well that this matter was not over. After all, the sage who had been stirring up trouble had not yet been dealt with. Emperor Xin did not think that the sage would be completely defeated after the lineage of the Marquis of Xibo was destroyed.
And just as Di Xin had thought, after the members of the Xibo Marquis lineage were stripped of their human identity, Zi Xiao immediately abandoned the Xiqi lineage and prepared to find a lord among the lords who could fulfill the Mandate of Heaven!
While Zixiao was pondering which feudal lord should be chosen to succeed the emperor and submit to Heaven, Emperor Xin, after much deliberation, issued an edict to all humankind in his capacity as the human emperor.
The edict roughly stated that if the Shang dynasty was immoral, all the feudal lords of the world could quell the rebellion, cleanse the court of corrupt officials, or even replace the emperor. However, whoever ascended to the throne must give the Shang royal family a peaceful end, except for those Shang royal families who were deeply sinful and burdened with karma but were not noticed by the emperor.
If any human being in the world dares to betray the interests of humanity for personal gain like the lineage of the Marquis of Xibo, all humans will despise them and strip them of their human status. Any human who can kill this ungrateful wretch can replace this beast in the human race!
In order to ensure that individuals like Ji Fa and Ji Chang, who disregard the interests of humanity for their own selfish desires, are not discovered in time, in addition to issuing the imperial edict to the entire human race, the emperor also invited Nuwa, the Holy Mother of Humanity and the controller of humanity, and humanity itself to act as witnesses!
With Nuwa's strength, although she might not be able to discover the tricks Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao were up to behind the scenes, the Human Dao, as an existence on par with the Heavenly Dao, even if its current strength and foundation are not as good as the Heavenly Dao, can still detect the Heavenly Dao's actions. With Him notifying Nuwa, it will not be easy for the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun to cause trouble again!
Upon hearing Emperor Xin's oath, Zi Xiao was furious. He truly hadn't expected the Emperor to pull such a stunt against him. His plan to demote the Emperor to the Son of Heaven was also completely ruined by the Emperor's decree and the witnessing of humanity and Nuwa!
After all, no matter who dares to propose demoting the Human Emperor to the Son of Heaven and acknowledging Heaven as their subject, all the feudal lords and common people in the world, as well as Nuwa and humanity, will think that this is a betrayal of the interests of the human race. Once it is labeled in this way, the Son of Heaven they have just supported will be completely abandoned.
After all, without the identity of being human, even if he submits to the heavens, he can only represent himself, not the entire human race!
The thought of her plans completely falling apart filled Zi Xiao with a burning hatred for Di Xin. As for killing him outright to vent her anger, Zi Xiao thought it was just a thought, since the human race today was not the same as the human race in the original timeline, who could be manipulated by the Heavenly Dao at will!
If Zixiao dared to kill Emperor Xin, the reigning human emperor, it would be an outrageous act, and humanity would never let him off the hook.
