Chapter 906: The Ninth Co-Lord
The eighteenth year of Di Qi.
The eighth day of the fourth lunar month.
Yin Qi returned quietly to Zhaoge.
The next day, just as he was about to summon his ministers to discuss launching a military campaign, he heard palace attendants report that the five women, including Zhou Ji, were experiencing faint abdominal pains and were about to give birth.
Although he had experienced many worlds, he had already had quite a few offspring.
Yet, upon hearing that Zhou Ji and the others were going into labor, he still could not help but feel excited, because in his perception, those worlds were not real; this Primordial World was his true root.
The childbirth of female cultivators of the Immortal Dao is naturally incomparable to that of mortals.
When Yin Qi rushed to Kunning Hall, he saw that the swollen bellies of the five women suddenly erupted with clusters of Immortal Light, and then five naked, three-year-old-looking boys appeared before him.
"Hee hee, I came out first, I am the big brother!"
"Mother, Mother!"
"Father, Father."
"Hee hee, staying in Mother's belly for eight years, it bored me to death."
"Wah, I came out last, I don't want to be the youngest."
The five children could speak the moment they were born.
They possessed a Natural Immortal Body, and their physical cultivation was at the Earth Immortal level upon birth, and it was incomparably stable.
Both their innate talent and comprehension had reached the King-Grade Immortal Bone level.
If their opportunities were sufficient, they would have hope of reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Fortunately, Yin Qi possessed an Inner Heaven and Earth, which could isolate the Heavenly Dao and shield them from the Heavenly Rules established by the Sages; otherwise, even with their Natural Immortal Bodies, their future cultivation would have been completely locked.
"Good, good!"
Yin Qi laughed heartily: "Men, convey my decree: reward everyone in the palace with ten thousand Immortal Crystals. At the same time, announce it to the world: bestow one hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones upon every commoner, and let the whole world celebrate."
"Congratulations, Great King!"
Inside the great hall, the palace maids and eunuchs bowed one after another.
This was ten thousand Immortal Crystals.
Their annual salary was only one thousand Immortal Crystals.
Yin Qi squatted down, opened his arms toward the five children, and smiled: "Children, come to Father."
"Father!"
The five children giggled and squeezed into Yin Qi's embrace.
Although they had just been born, they had already possessed complete consciousness seven years ago and could communicate with the outside world, so they were not strangers to Yin Qi.
Zhou Ji's face was filled with a maternal smile as she said: "Great King, it is time to give them names."
Yin Qi thought for a moment and said: "The eldest shall be called Yin Yu (son of Zhou Ji), the second Yin Zhou (son of Longji Gongzhu), the third Yin Hong (son of Feng Yanran), the fourth Yin Yi (son of Huang Feiyan), and the fifth Yin Chen (son of Shang Qingjun).
At the same time, I confer upon Yin Yu the title of Yu King, Crown Prince of Great Shang.
Confer upon Yin Zhou the title of Zhou King.
Yin Hong as Hong King.
Yin Yi as Yi King.
Yin Chen as Chen King."
Generally speaking, titles are usually conferred between the ages of five and twelve.
Yin Yu and the others were conferred as kings the moment they were born, which shows Yin Qi's affection for them; at the same time, setting the position of Crown Prince now would save the other four from harboring thoughts about it in the future.
These five children all possessed Natural Immortal Bodies and were destined for greatness.
If he did not cut off their thoughts early, who knows what kind of incidents might occur in the future.
Longji Gongzhu, Feng Yanran, Huang Feiyan, and Shang Qingjun had long anticipated this, because Zhou Ji was the Empress, and her son was the legitimate eldest son, so he should naturally be named Crown Prince.
………
The birth of the five princes ignited the court and beyond.
"Hahaha, the Great King has finally produced heirs; the foundation of our Great Shang is secure! Hiss, the Great King is truly generous, actually bestowing one hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones upon everyone; just how many spirit stones must that be? It's enough to pile into a large mountain range."
"Truly a Natural Immortal Body, a Natural Immortal Body indeed; their physical bodies were at the Earth Immortal level the moment they were born. It is just a pity that they were born into the Royal Family, and as sons of the Human Emperor, their cultivation in this life will stop here."
"It is a pity, but with a Natural Immortal Body, perhaps when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will break the curse of the Human Emperor's short life. Even if he cannot live for a thousand years, a few hundred years is also very good."
"It is indeed a pity, otherwise the Sages would all be rushing to take them as personal disciples."
……
Not only within the borders of Great Shang, but it also had quite a bit of heat in the Primordial World.
A Natural Immortal Body is a seed for a Great Luo.
……
Fire Cloud Cave.
The Three Sovereigns received the news and were likewise happy for Yin Qi.
Fuxi said: "Second Brother, Third Brother, we have been livestreaming for four years; the old subordinates who should have seen our streams have likely seen them. Now that the various sects are in chaos and Yin Qi has given birth to heirs, the grand gift we prepared for him should also be brought out."
Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... shu.... ba....!
"Good!"
Shennong and the Yellow Emperor nodded one after another.
Afterward, they each filmed a Short Video and uploaded it to Douyin.
"I, Fuxi, now in the name of the Heavenly Sovereign, support Di Qi in becoming the ninth Common Master of our Human Race, and at the same time, I call upon all our Human Race to support Di Qi; may our Human Race flourish for eternity."
"I, Shennong, now in the name of the Earth Emperor, support Di Qi in becoming the ninth Common Master of our Human Race, and at the same time, I call upon all our Human Race to support Di Qi; may our Human Race flourish for eternity."
"I, the Yellow Emperor, now in the name of the Human Emperor, support Di Qi in becoming the ninth Common Master of our Human Race, and at the same time, I call upon all our Human Race to support Di Qi; may our Human Race flourish for eternity."
The three short videos quickly surged to the number one spot on the trending list.
One must know that the Three Sovereigns have been preaching the Dao for nearly four years, and almost the entire Human Race has been paying attention to them.
Many from other races have also been paying close attention to them.
Consequently, Honghuang was in an uproar.
"Dao Ancestor above, what is going on? Why would the Three Sovereigns suddenly support Di Qi as the Human Sovereign?"
"Human Sovereign—what a distant term. Ever since the Five Emperors disappeared one after another, the Human Race has been fragmented and divided, each governing themselves, with no Common Master. The Three Sovereigns are stirring up trouble."
"Honghuang is already chaotic enough as it is; with the Three Sovereigns meddling like this, won't it become even more chaotic?"
"The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty was originally of no account in Honghuang, but with the support of the Three Sovereigns, their former subordinates will surely rush to Zhaoge, which is enough to make the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty leap to become the strongest force beneath the level of the Saints and Quasi-Sages."
"Hahaha, all three Saint Emperors support Di Qi; how could we cultivators of the Human Race not obey? Let's go to Zhaoge."
"The Three Sovereigns must be senile to actually support Di Qi. The Human Emperor has a short lifespan; he has at most twenty or thirty years left. Even if he becomes the Common Master, so what?"
Although the short videos of the Three Sovereigns were sensational, there were actually not many who truly responded to the call.
Because people's hearts have changed.
It is no longer the ancient era, when the Human Race needed a Common Master to lead them in order to defeat the Witch and Demon races remaining in Honghuang.
Nowadays, everyone is living a decent life; why should they submit to the Yin Shang?
In fact, many immortal dynasties not only had no intention of obeying the call of the Three Sovereigns, but they also listed the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty as their number one enemy.
It was not just the major immortal dynasties of the Human Race; many powerful races also listed the Yin Shang as a formidable enemy.
The call of the Three Sovereigns might not be able to move the Human Race from outside the era of the Three Sovereigns, but the vast majority of the old subordinates from the era of the Three Sovereigns would certainly respond to their call.
Although this group of people is not large, those who have managed to live until now are at least Mysterious Immortals.
Heavenly Immortals could not have lived until now.
Among them, there is no lack of Golden Immortals, and there might even be Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Possessing Great Luo Golden Immortals means that the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will become a Great Luo-level force, and its ranking will be able to rise to at least the top thirty.
If the Three Sovereigns had not been imprisoned, the Human Race of today would have become the number one force in Honghuang.
With three Peak Quasi-Saints, even the Four Teachings would be no match for them.
