Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 159: Investiture of the Gods Daji 1

Feng Xi arrived in this world through the system, receiving memories and discovering that this was the mythical world of the Conferred Gods. She felt an indescribable excitement. However, what shocked her even more was that she had become the infamous Daji!

The nine-tailed fox demon Daji was supposed to descend to the mortal realm, following the will of the goddess Nuwa, to confuse King Zhou and hasten the downfall of the Shang Dynasty. However, after the Zhou Dynasty ultimately succeeded in overthrowing the Shang, Daji was ruthlessly killed by Jiang Ziya, her soul shattered. This filled her with deep resentment and anger.

Now, Feng Xi has traveled to this world, tasked with ensuring the survival of the Shang Dynasty and establishing King Zhou Di Xin as a wise ruler. She must also bring the punishments due to Jiang Ziya, Nuwa, and their ilk. She knows achieving these goals will be no easy task. The Shang Dynasty is mired in crises, plagued by internal corruption and surrounded by powerful enemies.

Daji's mind stirred, and she attempted to mobilize the divine power within her body. To her amazement, she discovered she could wield it with remarkable ease! This way, she no longer had to worry about threats from saints like Nuwa. However, her body was limited in the amount of spiritual energy it could sustain. Forcing it would likely damage her, and the mission would surely fail. Thinking this, Daji quickly exchanged a drop of Fox Ancestor's blood essence from her system and swallowed it without hesitation. Instantly, a sharp pain ripped through her body, as if every inch of her flesh were burning. She was fully aware that the drop of blood essence was coursing through her body, quietly transforming her bloodline. Simultaneously, her tails slowly grew from nine to ten, and her cultivation aptitude improved significantly. Instantly, her cultivation soared, leaping from Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal, and then into the Quasi-Sage realm. Breaking through to Quasi-Sage seemed effortless to her, a mere thought away. But she knew this wasn't the best time to break through to the Saint realm, so she quickly instituted restrictions, suppressing her cultivation to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. She hoped to find the right opportunity in the future, then break free from these constraints and reach the Great Saint realm. At this point, Daji finally possessed sufficient self-protection and felt a sense of peace. She then donned a glazed dress, exuding a fresh and elegant aura, like the Lady of the Nine Heavens descended to earth.

She arrived at a time when she was banished to the cold palace and was being bullied. At this moment, the palace she was in was empty, so she decided to go to the palace where Emperor Xin was, which was also the bedroom of her sister Su Ningxiang in this body. When the palace servants saw her, they hurriedly scolded her: "How dare you! Leave quickly, otherwise the king will kill you..." However, Daji ignored them, but cast a fox charm and easily controlled these palace servants. Then, she swaggered into the palace and set up restrictions so that even the saints could not detect the situation inside. Su Ningxiang was stunned when she saw Daji coming, and then immediately stepped forward and said: "Sister, why are you here? Leave quickly, otherwise the king will be angry again!"

Daji said, "Really?" and then knocked her unconscious. King Zhou saw Daji's actions and scolded her, "How dare you knock out my beloved concubine? Someone, drag her away..." Daji saw that Di Xin was confused and hurriedly stuffed a heart-clearing pill into his mouth. In an instant, Di Xin sobered up and thought about what he had done recently. He also remembered that day at the Nuwa Temple, he was tricked into writing obscene poems to insult Nuwa. So, with a complicated expression on his face, he said, "What's wrong with me?"

Daji sat on a stone bench and said, "I've been tricked. After all, you're the Human Emperor. They can't just kill you outright, so they can only find a way to make you consume the Shang Dynasty's national fortune, so that they can achieve their goal of intercepting the human race's fortune!"

Emperor Xin: "Who are you? Why are you helping me..."

Daji sneered, "Su Daji, a nine-tailed fox. She was deceived by Nuwa and must have died a miserable death in her previous life!"

Emperor Xin: "If I can't cultivate immortality, how can I possibly defeat a saint?"

Daji: "Maintaining the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty, the fate of a country lies in their hands. They cannot take action. Otherwise, they will be destroyed by the way of heaven..."

Emperor Xin: "Are you going to cooperate with me?"

Daji: "Yes, I will leave after I have taken my revenge. You may not believe me. But you have no better solution now. If you leave, I will probably be deceived again, and then Shang Tang will be destroyed because of you..."

Emperor Xin thought for a moment and said, "Yes! I will make you my imperial concubine, and you will always be by my side..."

Daji: "Okay, I need a bigger palace, and have someone pull out all the plants in the yard, so that my palace doesn't need anyone to serve it. Let the guards stay outside, I will call them when I need them..."

Emperor Xin asked in confusion, "Why?" Daji extended her hand, and two species appeared on her palm: the sweet potato and potato she had exchanged from the system mall. Then she said, "This is a high-yield food, with a yield of about seven or eight stone per mu!"

Emperor Xin was surprised and asked, "Really?"

Daji smiled and said, "Really? If this food is grown in large quantities, Shang Tang's foundation will be more popular among the people, and your kingdom will be more stable."

Emperor Xin decisively ordered his attendants to grant Daji six palaces in the Western Palace as her residence. He instructed his attendants to clear the cattails from four of the palaces and carefully till the soil. He also decreed that, with the exception of the first and second palaces, no one was allowed to enter the other four, and soldiers were to keep them strictly guarded. Daji chose one of the palaces as her own research room, while the others remained unused. As night fell, Daji and Emperor Xin worked together to replant the flower beds surrounding the palace with sweet potatoes and potatoes. They looked forward to the harvest in three months. In the meantime, Daji carefully arranged for several trusted confidants to assist her. She obtained the formula for gunpowder from the system space and resolved to manufacture explosives. However, she was determined not to use such dangerous weapons unless absolutely necessary. She also taught the craftsmen how to make stronger and more durable bronze objects. Furthermore, Daji planned to go on an outing with Emperor Xin to explore for iron ore. Because the current copper quality is not suitable for making weapons such as bows and crossbows, and Ji Bohou is eyeing the Shang Dynasty covetously, we must remain vigilant and not send troops for the time being.

When Queen Jiang heard that Emperor Xin favored Daji so much that he had granted her the entire West Palace, she felt a surge of concern. She knew Daji's beauty and charm, but such a favor seemed too extraordinary. So, she decided to go to Emperor Xin's residence, the Diligent Administration Hall, and personally express her concerns to him.

When Queen Jiang entered the Qinzheng Hall, the attendants saluted respectfully and hurriedly announced, "The Queen has arrived!" Queen Jiang walked gracefully into the hall, bowed to Emperor Xin, and then said bluntly, "Your Majesty, your favor for Concubine Su has caused dissatisfaction among the court."

Emperor Xin stopped carving, put down his knife, looked up at Queen Jiang, and said, "Queen, do you know that as a mortal emperor, you cannot cultivate immortality? You sent Yin Jiao and Yin Hong to become my disciples, but have you ever considered that this will result in my Shang Dynasty being left without a successor?"

Upon hearing this, Queen Jiang froze in shock, a puzzled expression on her face. She asked, "Your Majesty, who told you this?" Emperor Xin sighed helplessly and said slowly, "My Queen, you were provoked into doing this. But think carefully: if the emperor could cultivate immortality, why didn't I go? Why didn't emperors throughout history go? If this were truly possible, wouldn't our legacy be passed down through the generations?"

Queen Jiang's heart trembled upon hearing these words, and her face turned pale. She began to wonder who was plotting against her two children and the foundation of the Shang Dynasty. Her eyes flickered, as if she sensed a conspiracy unfolding.

After a moment's silence, Queen Jiang came back to her senses and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?" She knew that this matter was of great importance and a solution must be found as soon as possible to protect the future of the Shang Dynasty.
