Chapter 1004: Emperor

Yin Qi naturally saw the expressions of the three Fuxi, and he said gently: "Three Saint Emperors, now that my Great Shang has unified the Primordial Continent, if I remain only the Human Emperor, it is neither righteous nor proper for ruling the Ten Thousand Races."

And the Ten Thousand Races will also find it difficult to develop a sense of belonging to us.

If this continues for a long time, it will certainly be exploited by other forces to sow discord and cause internal chaos.

Although it is said that with our strength, any internal chaos can be suppressed.

But war will consume national power, and the common people will also be implicated.

This is not what I want to see."

The three Fuxi still frowned, but their expressions softened quite a bit.

The reality is that the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty has already unified the Primordial Continent; one cannot simply drive all the Ten Thousand Races out of the Primordial Continent, or kill them all!

As long as they are not driven away or killed, the Ten Thousand Races without a sense of belonging will certainly be exploited by others.

Yin Qi continued: "Furthermore, although I will have other titles, my most important title remains Human Emperor, the Human Sovereign; in my heart, the interests of the Human Race naturally come first."

This point will never change.

In the future Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, under various rules and equal competitive conditions, the Human Race will have priority.

Whether in the imperial court or in the provinces.

Whether civil officials or military generals.

The proportion of Human Race officials and officers must be over eighty percent.

Among them, the heads of the Cabinet, the Military Affairs Department, and the Censorate must all be of the Human Race, and there can be at most one person from another race, to maintain the purity of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty's Human Race core."

Actually, Yin Qi had thought about drawing lessons from the Caste System of his previous life's India.

But this system is too foolish for the people and is not conducive to the healthy development of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

The Human Race can enjoy priority, but it cannot be placed above the Ten Thousand Races, otherwise it will only cause intense opposition between the two sides, leading to heavy internal trouble and being exploited by hostile forces.

The Three Sovereigns pondered for a long time.

Fuxi sighed and said: "Great King, perhaps what you say is right. The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is not only an immortal dynasty of the Human Race, but also an immortal dynasty of the Primordial Ten Thousand Races. Our Human Race once suffered greatly; now that we are strong ourselves, why must the dragon-slaying youth turn into an evil dragon and impose this suffering on other races?"

Shennong also echoed: "Since ancient times, the Primordial Continent has been in constant strife. If the Ten Thousand Races can be won over, the Primordial world can be peaceful from now on, and our Human Race can dominate the Primordial world for billions of years."

The Yellow Emperor said in a deep voice: "As long as we can ensure the priority of the Human Race, our past contributions and sacrifices will not have been in vain. Moreover, the concept of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty has long transcended the simple Human Race; the Great King should indeed have another honorable title."

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "We are already able to live forever; as long as we are alive, the principle of prioritizing the interests of the Human Race can be effectively guaranteed."

Hearing this, the Three Sovereigns all smiled lightly.

Indeed, with them around, no matter how much the other races develop, can they surpass the Human Race?

Since the Three Sovereigns no longer objected, the ministers began to discuss what honorable title to bestow upon Yin Qi.

"Emperor of Ten Thousand Emperors, simple and clear, full of dominance."

"Vulgar! In this humble minister's view, it is better to honor the Great King as the Immortal Emperor, the emperor of all immortal cultivators."

"Immortal is not as great as Dao; the Great King should be honored as the Dao Emperor, the emperor among the Great Dao!"

"The master of the Heavenly Court is called the Heavenly Emperor; as the master of our Primordial Continent, he should naturally be honored as the Desolate Emperor, or the Huang Tiandi."

"Huang Tiandi? Why not the Primordial Emperor! Our Great Shang will not be limited to the Primordial Continent in the future, but the entire Primordial World."

The ministers argued endlessly.

Yin Qi secretly broke into a cold sweat; even Huang Tiandi had come out.

In the end, he made the final decision: "Above our Human Race are the Three Sovereigns, and below are the Five Emperors; they have worked their hearts out for our Human Race, their merits covering thousands of autumns, and they have always been my role models.

Let it be this way: from now on, honor me as the Emperor. I am the emperor of the Human Race, and also the emperor of the Ten Thousand Races."

The Three Sovereigns felt warmed in their hearts and simply nodded in agreement.

The ministers savored it carefully and felt that Emperor was also quite good, dominant and profound.

Yin Qi looked at the Minister of Rites Chen Xu and said: "The honorable title has been determined; next is the Sacrificial Ceremony. The Ministry of Rites should choose a suitable date. Also, invite the Ten Thousand Races to attend to show grace."

Chen Xu said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Yin Qi looked around at the ministers, his expression becoming solemn: "Although our Great Shang has unified the Primordial world, you must not be slack, because the real tests and wars are yet to come.

I have received confirmed news that the Ren Sect, Chan Sect, Buddhism, the Sea of Blood, the Demon Master Palace, the Wu Clan, the Demon Race, and the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin have secretly allied to form the Anti-Shang Alliance.

At the same time, the Demon Race is planning to resurrect Di Jun, Donghuang, Xihe, and others.

The Wu Clan is planning to resurrect Di Jiang and the other eleven Ancestral Witches.

The Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin have been planning to resurrect Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin for millions of years.

In at most five hundred years, their preparations will be complete.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book... please...!

Once Di Jun, Di Jiang, and the others are resurrected, that will be the time when the Anti-Shang Alliance sends troops against us."

As for the matter of Luo Hou and the Demon World, this is the most top-secret of secrets, which even the Saints do not know, so he naturally would not speak of it here.

With the abilities of the Saints, they would sense it the moment it was spoken.

The Three Sovereigns and the ministers were all shocked, revealing expressions of horror.

Although they had long expected that the next Great Calamity would see the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty become an enemy of the whole world, when this speculation was confirmed by Yin Qi, especially since it was right before them, everyone still felt their bodies tighten.

If Di Jun and the others are resurrected, the Anti-Shang Alliance will possess twenty-four Peak Quasi-Saints.

Other Quasi-Saints will exceed forty people.

This is a very terrifying number.

They knew the Great King was very strong, but no matter how strong, he was not a Saint, at most capable of fighting ten; besides that, Great Shang only had the Three Sovereigns and the Nuwa Good Corpse, only four Peak Quasi-Saints.

Yet the Anti-Shang Alliance still has fourteen Peak Quasi-Saints.

As for other Quasi-Saints, the numbers are even further apart; how can this be fought!

The expressions of the Three Sovereigns were cold and heavy.

The assembled officials were also panicked in their hearts, feeling despair.

Suddenly, Chen Xu said in a loud voice, "Great King, everyone, the gap between us and the Anti-Shang Alliance is not as large as we imagined. Why don't we send out troops now and attack them?"

Wen Zhong sighed and said, "Five hundred years, the time is too short. Even if we take the initiative to attack, what can we do? As long as they hold out for five hundred years, we will still be unable to match them."

Shang Rong said, "They must hold a Sacrificial Ritual to resurrect Di Jun, Di Jiang, and Zulong, so can we take the opportunity to disrupt it?"

Fuxi sighed and said, "That is also unrealistic. They will surely be fully prepared when they hold the Sacrificial Ritual. They could even hold it directly in the Chaos Beyond the Heavens. When the time comes, with the various Sages protecting them, we can only look on and sigh."

Someone could not help but say in despair, "This won't work, that won't work, are we just going to watch the Anti-Shang Alliance break through our Zhaoge? Wait, that's not right. Great King, you must have had a countermeasure for a long time, right?"

Swish! Swish!

Hearing this, the others looked at Di Qi one after another, their eyes eager.

That's right.

How could I have forgotten the Great King!

The Great King's plans are infallible; he must have received this news a long time ago.

Since he brought it up here, he must have had a countermeasure early on; otherwise, he would not be so calm in the face of change, and given the Great King's mysterious nature, he might even have some trump cards he has not yet revealed.
