402 Great Shang Bestowment
The next morning, there was a sea of people in the capital.

A decree had been issued the previous day. Today, the emperor was going to be confer the title of God.

Under Huang Feihu’s supervision, the God-Naming Platform rose up overnight.

There were 3,000 cavalrymen and 800 imperial guards in charge of the security of the God-Naming Platform.

Soon, the sacred stand slowly arrived.

The civil and military officials stood still, with Zhao Hao and Wen Zhong at the forefront.

Emperor Xin slowly walked out of the emperor’s carriage and stood on the imperial chariot.

Emperor Xin did not seal off the scene, where he would bestow to godhood.

Instead, everyone could watch it together in the capital.

After receiving the news, the generals of each force came to the capital with the gods in their territories who had submitted to them.

At that moment, everyone except Zhao Hao knelt on the ground.

This was the majesty of Emperor Xin, and all humans had to pay their respects to him.
Emperor Xin looked around at the people of Great Shang.

His eyes were filled with gratitude.

In the few years that he was in power, he could clearly feel the changes in the people of Great Shang.

Compared to his previous life, it was much better.

Without waiting for Emperor Xin to speak, all the people shouted in unison.

“Long Live the Emperor!”

“Long Live the Emperor!”

…

The voices got louder and louder, each one shaking the heavens.

All these years, Emperor Xin’s hard work had greatly increased the power of Great Shang and allowed the people of Great Shang to live a good life.

Hence, Emperor Xin’s popularity within the dynasty was unparalleled.

All the officials kneeling on the ground could not help but feel a wave of energy rising from their hearts.

This was the glory that came with them being the subjects of the emperor.

Emperor Xin slowly raised his hand and gestured at the air, and the voices gradually subsided.

He looked at the people around him and said in a serious tone, “In the ancient era, our ancestors made fire with wood, built houses with wood, and knitted clothes with leather. They built the first city with their own hands.

“Thousands of years ago, when the flood reached the sky, Emperor Yu led humankind to split the mountains and control the flood. The Human Emperors were born because of humankind.

“The human race was born between heaven and earth. We are the masters of this land. No one has ever been able to suppress us and stand high above us.

“The gods of the Heavenly Court slaughtered our people. I had no choice but to kill the gods to protect the Shang dynasty.

“You should know that in the human world, the weather has never been good.

“There are natural disasters, earthly calamities, and even evil spirits. Even the gods conferred by the Heavenly Court treat us as food.

“Today, I will confer gods here. I will let all the immortals, demons, gods, and Buddhas in the world see who dares to bully us humans!”

…

The impassioned speech made everyone’s blood boil.

Not just the ordinary people, even the generals, commanders, prime ministers, and doctors were all shocked.

These people had all been brainwashed by Emperor Xin’s speech.

Not to mention betraying Great Shang, once they discovered that someone wanted to rebel, these people would fight them to the death at the first moment.

“This fellow was in multi-level marketing before he transmigrated, right? You’re so good at bluffing?” Zhao Hao couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Among the crowd, the only one who could keep calm was Zhao Hao.

Emperor Xin’s speech had no effect on Zhao Hao, who was not a native of this world.

In addition, Zhao Hao had done similar things a few times before, so he had a strong resistance to speeches.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been set in stone, Di Xin stopped thinking and said the last important line, “Great Shang’s God-Naming Platform can confer titles on gods. We’ll set up a Divine Justice Supervisor to supervise the guardians of the world with the laws of gods.

“No matter what race you are, as long as you are willing to submit to Great Shang, you can come to the capital to ask for a title!”

As soon as he said that, the luck of the human race started to roll.

The entire world could hear Emperor Xin’s announcement.

In the human world, in the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands, countless figures hiding in the secluded mountains and dark valleys opened their eyes and stuck their heads out.

Some of them had never been conferred by the Jade Emperor and had been hiding in the mountains and forests.Some of them obeyed the Jade Emperor’s orders and escaped from Great Shang. There were demons, spirits, ghosts, and humans among them.

At this moment, they all turned to the capital.

Thinking about it carefully, being conferred a title by the Human Emperor seemed to be not bad.

The human race was the master of this land, and once they were conferred as the human race’s god by the Human Emperor, not only could they enjoy the offerings of the human race, but they could also be blessed by the luck of the human race.

As the masters of the land, the luck of the human race was something that even Saints could not touch. It was a treasure that they were very envious of.

On Mount Kunlun, at the Hollow Jade Temple…

Primeval Lord Yuanshi was meditating on the futon with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, Primeval Lord Yuanshi’s eyes opened, and he stood up with a cold face.

His gaze also became sharper.

The entire Mount Kunlun was filled with a terrifying aura, and the sun could not be seen in an instant.

The dignity of a Saint was revealed without a doubt.

“Great Shang’s God-Naming Platform? Divine Justice Supervisor?

“Emperor Xin, you’re just a Human Emperor who can’t cultivate. How dare you confer a god title to me?

“There are only 29 years left for the Shang dynasty. Do you want to die now?”

With that, Primeval Lord Yuanshi looked at the heavens.

“Senior Brother, what do you say?”

Primeval Lord Yuanshi’s voice resounded in the boundless 33 Heavens,

At the Eight Visions Palace…

Laozi was refining elixirs when he suddenly heard the voice of Primeval Lord Yuanshi.

The old man’s turbid eyes were calm. With his state of mind, nothing could make him fluctuate much.

“The God-Sealing Cultivation Tribulation is coming. He can’t cultivate, so let him be.”

Laozi’s voice was heard.

The entire Eight Visions Palace fell silent once more.

Primeval Lord Yuanshi snorted coldly. He then turned to the capital, his eyes full of killing intent.

“Senior Brother, if you don’t care, I can’t…”

One must know that The Investiture of the Gods of the God-Sealing Cultivation Tribulation was with him, Primeval Lord Yuanshi.

The ceremony itself was arranged by the Saints.

No matter how one looked at it, Di Xin’s God-Naming Platform and Divine Justice Supervisor were a slap to Primeval Lord Yuanshi’s face.

Primeval Lord Yuanshi felt that his dignity as a Saint had been violated.

In his opinion, only the list in his hand was worthy of bestowing a god title.

No matter if it was the Jade Emperor or the Human Emperor, the gods conferred by them did not count.

Today, Emperor Xin’s bold declaration of conferring god titles and blasphemy was the biggest challenge to him.

Primeval Lord Yuanshi stroked the Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi in his hand, and the Saint’s majesty that ruled over all living beings suddenly suppressed the untainted land.

“I don’t need you for the ceremony. Today, I’ll kill all your officials and teach you a lesson.”

As soon as Primeval Lord Yuanshi finished his words, the Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi in his hand shot out three rays of red light.

Three beams of bright light came crashing down on the capital.
