Chapter 945: Tremors Across All Sides

"Hahaha, wonderful, truly wonderful! The Great King can actually rival Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun. This is the strongest Human Emperor since the Three Sovereigns; the Human Race shall flourish!"

"Heavens, I always thought the Great King was a mortal, but I never imagined he was actually a Quasi-Saint!"

"Sob, I want to cry, I am so happy. I used to worry that the Great King's lifespan was short and he would be unable to complete the great cause of unifying the Human Race. Now it seems there is no need to worry at all."

Within the territory of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, countless commoners were ecstatic, singing and dancing.

Countless industrial owners and merchants held celebratory activities, selling all goods at cost.

As for the Thirty-Six Great Legions, the countless soldiers and generals were even more invigorated.

"It's over. Di Qi is actually a Quasi-Saint and has gained the support of the Saint Mother. How can we resist?"

"Sigh, it is for the best. Let go of illusions; the unification of the Human Race is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Even the Sect Master is no match for him; how can our Immortal Dynasty resist?"

On the Primordial Continent, countless Human Immortal Dynasties and tribes were shocked. They were either ecstatic, waiting for the arrival of the Great Shang army, or disheartened, having prepared for surrender.

The strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all; stubborn resistance would only lead to death.

Since that is the case, what is the point of resisting?

The fact that Di Qi exposed his cultivation and stepped to the forefront actually had the deepest impact not on the Human Race, but on the Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial World.

Especially those living on the Primordial Continent.

Previously, they knew that the target of the Great Shang army's conquest was not just the Immortal Dynasties and tribes of the Human Race, but also the Immortal Dynasties established by various races, as well as powerful species.

It was just that they were not worried before, because the Primordial World was too vast and the Human Emperor's life was short.

No matter how fast the Great Shang army was, how much territory could they occupy?

Once Di Qi passed away, it would be good enough if the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty could maintain its existing vast system; it would be impossible to have the energy to continue expanding its territory.

But now, Di Qi is actually a Quasi-Saint.

This means that sooner or later, they will have to face the Great Shang army.

Should they choose to submit, or to resist?

The leaders of every race were pondering this question.

Submission is not shameful.

This is the Primordial World, where the strong are respected.

They had submitted to the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin in the past, and they had also submitted to the Witch and Demon races.

In the future, they would not mind submitting to the Human Race again, as long as the Human Race did not interfere in their internal affairs.

Of course, while some planned to submit, others were naturally unwilling.

Everyone had been a king or hegemon for so long; who would be willing to submit to others and live under someone else's shadow?

For a time, undercurrents surged across the Primordial Continent.

Wuzhuang Temple.

"Yin Emperor, Yin Emperor, the Human Emperor of Great Shang."

Zhenyuanzi whispered to himself, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

He had said it—how could there be a Quasi-Saint in the Primordial World that he did not know about?

So it was Di Qi.

He sighed in his heart.

Who could have imagined that a mere mortal Human Emperor would suddenly become a Quasi-Saint with combat power comparable to a Peak Quasi-Saint, even suppressing Laozi? What an absurdity and strange tale this is!

But fortunately, when Di Qi came to ask for a branch of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he treated him with courtesy.

"Right, since Di Qi has become the Ninth Co-Lord of the Human Race, I should also prepare a gift to congratulate him. If I can obtain Di Qi's help, it will be easier for me to spread my teachings."

The Primordial West.

Lingshan.

Under the Bodhi Tree, Jieyin and Zhunti sat opposite each other. Zhunti Daoren sighed: "Who could have imagined that Di Qi was actually a Quasi-Saint, and that the Yang God from before was merely one of his incarnations. I regretted the fall of the Yang God for a long time. If only he could have entered our Buddhism..."

He had personally experienced Di Qi's Buddhist Dharma.

To be so proficient in Buddhist Dharma and also be a Quasi-Saint, he was simply a natural Buddhist Deputy Sect Leader.

Jieyin Daoren shook his head and said: "Junior Brother, do not think about such good things. However, we do have a connection and karma with the Yang God after all; we should maintain a good relationship in the future.

If we can gain Di Qi's approval to build temples throughout the country,

then our Buddhism shall flourish greatly."

If there are no accidents, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty unifying the Primordial Continent is basically a foregone conclusion.

Previously, the Primordial World was fragmented, and they could only work hard themselves if they wanted to spread their teachings.

Developing one temple and one region at a time.

But in the future, when the Primordial Continent belongs entirely to the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, a single word from Di Qi will be worth more than all their countless efforts, just like how Di Qi used the power of the Imperial Court to build the Nuwa Temple.

Please... do... bookmark... the... book...!

In the blink of an eye, the Nuwa Temple could spread across the Primordial World.

Zhunti Daoren nodded and said: "Senior Brother, we can send some people to reside in Zhaoge. It might not be easy to influence Di Qi, but influencing Di Qi's concubines, princes, and even his civil and military officials is still possible."

If they have the help of the Great Shang Imperial Court, then their Buddhism can quickly spread across the Primordial World along with the Great Shang army.

Jieyin Daoren nodded: "Hmm, Junior Brother's words are reasonable; you see to the arrangements. Right, prepare a gift to send to Di Qi to congratulate him on becoming the Ninth Co-Lord of the Human Race."

Zhunti Daoren nodded: "Good. Hehe, thinking of the disheveled state of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, I cannot help but want to laugh. They used to look down on us. Moreover, although Di Qi did not say it, he will definitely limit the development of the Ren Sect and the Chan Sect in the future; these are all our opportunities."

……

The Immortal World.

The Heavenly Court.

Haotian said with a headache: "Yaochi, Di Qi is actually a Quasi-Saint, and he can even suppress Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun. It seems our previous plans can no longer be realized."

Previously, he and Yaochi Jinmu had planned to secretly contact and cultivate Yin Zhou, to develop their forces in the shadows, and then forcibly seize power after Di Qi passed away, secretly controlling the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty to make him the Lord of the Three Realms.

But now, it is possible that he and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will return to the old path of the Witch and Demon races.

One side rules Heaven, the other side rules Earth.

At that time, conflict will be inevitable, and in the end, under the instigation of various forces, the Heavenly Court and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty will fight until both are severely wounded, and then, like the Witch and Demon races, they will only be able to slink away from the Primordial Continent.

During the Witch-Demon War, the various Sages certainly did their fair share of fanning the flames from behind the scenes.

Yaochi Jinmu also wore a grave expression, lowering her head in deep thought.

If it were only Yin Qi, their Heavenly Court would not be afraid, because Haotian is a Peak Quasi-Saint and she is also a late-stage Quasi-Saint; the two of them joining forces would be enough to suppress Di Qi.

Furthermore, with the Investiture of the Gods, the immortals and gods upon it are undying and indestructible, which could likewise suppress the Great Shang army.

But no one expected that Nuwa would support Di Qi so strongly.

Next, Di Qi intends to build Nuwa Temples on a large scale, which is equivalent to completely binding Nuwa to his own war chariot.

After a long while, she looked up and said: "Senior Brother, the Witches and Demons could not coexist because there was not the slightest possibility of easing their conflicts, but we are different from the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty; Longji is, after all, one of the Four Noble Consorts of Di Qi."

"I think some things should be laid out clearly."

"No matter what, you are Di Qi's father-in-law."

"With Longji there, it is unlikely that we and the Great Shang will reach the point of life-and-death confrontation."

"It is just that your dream of becoming the Lord of the Three Realms will likely be very difficult to realize."

Haotian thought for a moment and could only nod.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, this was all he could do for now.

If it were only the Heavenly Court and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, he certainly would not give up so easily and would have to compete with the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty no matter what, but unfortunately, they are surrounded by powerful enemies.

The Witch and Demon races sharpening their blades, the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue lurking in the shadows, and the various major sects—the Ren Sect, the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, Buddhism, the Asura Sect, Wuzhuang Temple, and so on—are none of them easy to deal with.

If the Heavenly Court and the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty fight to the death, it will only benefit them. (End of this chapter)
