Chapter 1003: Not Just the Human Emperor

There is no such thing as a perfect Array Formation in the world.

Even an Innate Array will develop minor flaws after operating for a number of years.

It is precisely because of this that Yingzhou Island will fall into the real world for a moment, and then, as the Array Formation self-repairs, it will once again escape into the void, drifting away and disappearing from sight.

But the East Sea is so vast, and coupled with the concealment of the Innate Array, it is truly extremely difficult to happen upon Yingzhou Island by chance.

Perhaps someone has discovered clues before, but before they could figure it out, Yingzhou Island had already escaped back into the void.

"Three thousand five hundred years!"

According to the Calculation of the Luck Altar, the one-hundred-thousand-year mark will arrive in three thousand five hundred years, and Yingzhou Island will fall into the real world for one minute; this is also the best time to enter Yingzhou Island.

Of course, this "entering the island" only refers to landing on it.

Because of the shroud of the Innate Array, to truly enter the island, one still needs to break through or pass through the Array Formation.

One minute is very short, and certainly not enough to break the Array Formation.

But as long as one lands on the island, one can enter the void and reality along with Yingzhou Island, and there will be plenty of time to slowly break the Array Formation.

Otherwise, even a Saint would find it impossible to enter Yingzhou Island.

However, Yin Qi is not among them.

Through the Luck Altar, he has already obtained the specific location where Yingzhou Island will fall into the East Sea, as well as the route to quickly pass through the Innate Array of Yingzhou Island.

It can be said that the Hongmeng Purple Qi has already been reserved by him.

Since there are still three thousand five hundred years left, there is no need to notify the main body.

……

The Great Development Movement of the Honghuang was in full swing, with countless resources being developed and then rapidly converted into the strength of various factions.

Especially the Anti-Shang Alliance; they exchanged what they had for what they lacked, and their strength grew extremely rapidly.

They were all holding back their energy, waiting for the final eruption.

While the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty was vigorously waging the war to unify the Primordial Continent, they were surprisingly calm, and even when conflicts arose, they would take the initiative to yield.

Those with shallow vision only thought that the Yin Shang was powerful and that the major factions were all retreating to avoid them.

But those with far-reaching vision felt an uneasy aura.

For example, Zhenyuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West.

The reactions of the various factions were truly somewhat unusual.

However, they were not afraid.

In any case, they were not allied, and no matter how the fighting went, it would be difficult for the outcome to affect them.

……

Three thousand years later.

Following the surrender of an ancient tribe at the southernmost tip of the Honghuang, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty finally completed the unification of the Primordial Continent.

Today's Primordial Continent, apart from the one hundred million square miles of territory retained by the Ren Sect, the Chan Sect, and Buddhism, and the ten million square miles of territory retained by Quasi-Saints like Zhenyuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West, all belonged to the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

Immediately, the Human Luck surged violently.

Boom!

Within his Inner Heaven and Earth, Yin Qi, who had been immersed in refining the Chaos restrictions of the Opening Heaven Axe, suddenly felt an explosion in his mind, and then he saw the Purple Gold Luck on the Luck Altar begin to surge.

In just a moment, it rose to thirty thousand zhang.

One must know that previously, the luck was only a little over ten thousand.

As the core of the Primordial World, the significance of the Primordial Continent is naturally extraordinary.

Even the Wu Clan of the past failed to completely unify the Honghuang; the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is the first power in history to do so.

"Finally unified the Honghuang!"

Yin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of joy: "I will go out for a trip first to see how the situation is outside. Now that Great Shang has unified the Honghuang, it is time to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to Heaven and announce it to the Honghuang."

………

Zhaoge.

Zichen Hall.

As he withdrew his Clone, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

Overall, the Primordial World was very quiet; apart from the unification war of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, there was almost no fighting elsewhere.

Haotian was still wandering above the East Sea. The Anti-Shang Alliance was burying their heads in development.

Luo Hou's Demon World plan had reached its final critical moment.

Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, and others closed their doors to guests, focusing solely on promoting their Daoist traditions.

The Tongtian Good Corpse sat withered on Golden Turtle Island, preaching every day, allowing Golden Immortals and Great Luo to emerge in the Jie Sect.

Of course, the fastest development was still the Yin Shang.

The Thirty-Six Great Legions were stationed in the four corners of the Honghuang, and the proportion of Immortal Dao cultivators had increased to ten percent, among whom there were ninety-three at the Great Luo level and over thirty thousand Golden Immortals, not counting other Warships.

If the civil official system were added, there would be nearly two hundred Great Luo and over fifty thousand Golden Immortals.

Of course, this did not count those in the Inner Heaven and Earth.

In the Inner Heaven and Earth, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals had already reached two thousand, and there were over one hundred thousand Golden Immortals, in addition to countless Warships, among which there were eighteen Quasi-Sage-level Warships.

There were twenty-four Quasi-Saint Level Puppets, one thousand Great Luo-level Puppets, and five hundred Daluo-level Warships.

Yin Yu, Yin Zhou, and his other five sons had all cultivated to the Peak Great Luo, making a name for themselves in the military, and even leaping to become Grand Marshals of the legions, shaking the Honghuang with their fame.

Please... do... bookmark 6... 9... the book....!

Although Yin Qi did not announce his identity, everyone had already guessed it long ago.

The world marveled, truly worthy of being Natural Immortal Bodies.

To have cultivated to the Peak Great Luo at only a few tens of thousands of years old, the future of becoming a Quasi-Saint is promising indeed.

Zhang Shaokang, Yuan Hong, and Yao Chen had already achieved the Quasi-Saint realm.

Longji Gongzhu and Changxi had been in seclusion for tens of millions of years within the Inner Heaven and Earth, and both had successively become Peak Quasi-Saints.

However, their cultivation levels were concealed, and the outside world was unaware of this.

……

"Greetings, Great King!"

"Rise, my ministers."

Yin Qi smiled gently as he looked around at the assembled officials.

There were over thirty people at today's Small Court Meeting, and the lowest cultivation level among them was that of a Golden Immortal.

"Now that our Great Shang has unified the Primordial Continent, this is a momentous joyous occasion; I have decided to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and proclaim it to the Honghuang."

"That is only right."

The Three Sovereigns, Shang Rong, and the others nodded one after another.

Everyone wore an expression of excitement, feeling a sense of shared honor.

Because the Great Shang's unification of the Primordial Continent was the first time in history that a power had achieved such a thing, and it was a very rigorous and deep-seated rule, unlike the crude style of the Wu Clan.

For such an achievement, it was only natural to sacrifice to Heaven and Earth and proclaim it to the Honghuang.

Yin Qi continued, "Under the rule of our Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, there are countless races; it is no longer just the Human Race, so I believe that besides being the Human Emperor, I should also have another title to make my position legitimate."

As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not carry weight.

If Yin Qi were only the Human Emperor, on what grounds could he rule over other races?

Even if the various races feared the military might of the Great Shang, they would only be obedient in word but not in heart, and sooner or later, trouble would arise—for instance, being incited to rebellion by other forces.

Yin Qi naturally needed to resolve such hidden dangers.

Because the future Great Shang Celestial Dynasty would not be limited to the Primordial Continent, but the entire Primordial World.

To avoid being held back in the future, he had to start resolving this now.

"This..."

The Three Sovereigns frowned, their hearts heavy.

They had dedicated their lives to the Human Race, and now that the Human Race had finally risen to become the hegemon of the Primordial Continent, Yin Qi was actually unsatisfied with being the Human Emperor and wanted to be the emperor of the Ten Thousand Races; was he still worth their support?

They were willing to fight for the Human Race, but they were not willing to fight for the Ten Thousand Races.

Shang Rong and the others, however, did not have such narrow-minded thoughts, because from the beginning of Yin Qi's reign, the tone of encompassing the Ten Thousand Races had been set, and for this purpose, Meishan Hall had been specially established within the Martial Hall.

Although Meishan Hall was later abolished, Yuan Hong was promoted to Vice Hall Master of the Martial Hall.

Even the various races were gradually allowed to join the army and take the imperial examinations.

Whether in the imperial court or in the provinces, there were quite a few officials and generals from other races, though their ranks were currently not very high, and their numbers were not very large.

But it was foreseeable that they would be able to reach high positions in the future.

Since the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty encompassed the Ten Thousand Races, then Yin Qi, as the Great King, naturally could not be merely the Human Emperor. (End of chapter)
