Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been two hundred years since Emperor Xin, and the situation in Jambudvipa is becoming increasingly urgent.

First, Grand Tutor Wen Zhong was appointed by Emperor Zhou of Han as an inspector, ordered to inspect the whole country. He was a minister personally appointed by the emperor and had the power to execute first and report later.

Wen Zhong inspected the entire realm, killing countless people. Whether they were corrupt officials or deeply sinful feudal lords, none were spared. Those who deserved to be killed were killed, and those who deserved to be arrested were arrested. Because there were so many people arrested, even the imperial prison in Chaoge could not hold them all. In the end, King Zhou had no choice but to issue an edict to build a new prison.

As for now, those who committed heinous crimes were killed first, and the rest were all exiled to the frontier and mines, either joining suicide squads or becoming a pile of bones in the mines.

As for King Zhou, he seems to have been much quieter these days. He never expected that after ruling the world for two hundred years and expanding the territory, the lives of the people would not only not improve, but would instead turn out like this.

It is said that on the day the criminals were beheaded, King Zhou personally supervised the execution, and upon hearing the criminals' crimes, he couldn't resist personally becoming the executioner, killing quite a few people.

However, the emperor covered in blood did not frighten the onlookers; instead, he won their praise. The news spread throughout the land, slightly easing the resentment of the people who had previously hated the Shang Dynasty court, especially with Grand Tutor Wen Zhong's continued travels throughout the country.

For a time, the whole world was abuzz with the good news of King Zhou's expansion of territory. As for his harsh treatment of the people, King Zhou personally issued an edict of self-reproach, admitting his mistakes and saying that he had been misled by villains and had entrusted the wrong people with his duties. As a result, he went into seclusion for ten years, and all matters of state, large and small, were handled by the Prime Minister Shang Rong and the Vice Prime Minister Bi Gan.

The Human Emperor issued an edict of self-reproach, a first in the primordial world since its creation. It is said that this directly caused a disturbance in the Heavenly Dao, especially in Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, where thunder roared and struck down several treacherous officials on the spot, including Fei Zhong and E Lai, who were instantly killed. In the end, it was only through the intervention of the Three Pure Ones that the disturbance was brought down.

When the people heard that even the emperor had issued an edict of self-reproach, they were somewhat bewildered. After all, life was already difficult enough, and now they didn't even have anyone to resent. It wasn't until they heard about the story of the two treacherous ministers, Fei Zhong and E Lai, being struck dead by lightning in Chaoge that they finally had someone to hate. They all shifted their focus, and for a time, the names of the two men were being circulated throughout the land.

However, this time it wasn't a good reputation, but a bad one. Meanwhile, the Shang Dynasty's imperial court kept issuing imperial edicts, not only reducing taxes within the Shang territory for three years, but also providing a large amount of food to the disaster victims free of charge.

In this disaster relief effort, the God of Wealth Cult contributed manpower and money, making a great contribution. Even the upright and incorruptible Ya Bi Gan praised them highly and even secretly recognized the God of Wealth Cult's legitimate rights in the Shang Dynasty's imperial court. Although no official decree was issued, it could be considered the state religion.

Moreover, in this operation, the Great Shang Imperial Court demonstrated its profound resources, dispatching more than twenty Golden Immortal level experts, and even sending one Grand Luo Golden Immortal level ancestor to accompany Wen Zhong as a form of protection. After all, Wen Zhong's actions were too enviable, and if someone wanted to commit suicide and assassinate Wen Zhong, then the Great Shang would truly be doomed.

Besides the Great Luo Golden Immortal Ancestor of the Great Shang Imperial Court, even the Golden Spirit Mother of the Jie Sect was constantly watching Wen Zhong. After all, Wen Zhong was her disciple, and she could not allow anything to happen to him, whether out of personal feelings or the orders of the Tongtian Sect Master.

It should be noted that although Wen Zhong has killed wherever he goes, he has no bad reputation. On the contrary, he is more popular with the people. It can be said that he is surrounded by the masses. Even the human emperor Zhou Wang did not have such support for him.

Even though the King of Zhou has been trying to clear his name, it hasn't been long. Compared to Wen Zhong, who has always had a good reputation, King Zhou certainly won't get much attention.

However, this is actually better for King Zhou. Since the news of his exoneration has already spread, his most important task now is to keep a low profile and try to turn the situation around in a few years.

The Human Emperor, the emperor of the human race, would not only lose much of his prestige without the support of the human race, but his imperial power would also weaken, and he would be vulnerable to exploitation if he was not careful.

If Wen Zhong were to declare himself emperor now, the people would likely not object and would applaud. That's Wen Zhong's current status.

While Wen Zhong was managing affairs across the land, and with capable and virtuous ministers like Shang Rong and Bi Gan at home, and with treacherous officials like Fei Zhong and E Lai no longer obstructing things, the entire Shang Dynasty court seemed to have come back to life and was developing towards a prosperous state.

Just then, King Zhou, who had been in seclusion to reflect on his mistakes, slowly walked out of the palace. He was dressed solemnly and followed by a group of ministers, especially Shang Rong and Bigan standing on his left and right. Even Wen Zhong, who had been traveling around, returned to Chaoge.

The only ones who could command such high honors from the human royal court are a few sages. It turns out that today is the day to worship the sage Nuwa. As the Holy Mother of the human race, although Nuwa did not side with the human race in the war between humans and demons, the human race was, after all, created by Nuwa, and contained her essence and blood within them, so that even if their bones were broken, they would still be connected by tendons.

Therefore, before the birthday of the goddess Nuwa, the human race would hold a grand sacrificial ceremony.

The Nuwa Temple is located outside Chaoge City, and not far from it is the Sanqing Temple. Seeing that the journey had been peaceful, Shang Rong, Bigan, and Wen Zhong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Even the Three Pure Ones, who had been observing from afar, slowly withdrew their gazes. After all, they had entered Nuwa's territory, and as fellow saints, they should be treated with the proper courtesy. However, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu may have underestimated Zhunti's shamelessness and audacity.

In fact, Zhunti had secretly sneaked into the Nuwa Temple several months earlier. He knew that this was very risky, but he had no other choice.

The recent actions of the Great Shang Dynasty in the Southern Continent, although not explicitly targeting the Xibo Marquisate, are still beyond Zhunti's control. If the Great Shang Dynasty continues to cause trouble like this, not only will the Xibo Marquisate be nothing but a hidden dragon, but even if it has already advanced to a five-clawed golden dragon, it will be useless. How can it defeat the Great Shang Dynasty's true dragon, which has advanced for hundreds of thousands of years?

Therefore, he could only turn his attention to the King. After all, he knew the principle of capturing the king first. Besides, King Zhou already had a bad reputation. If he were to become irrational and immoral again, even if Wen Zhong was powerful, the King of Shang was still Di Xin. If he ruined King Zhou's reputation, the Western Marquisate would still have hope.

As King Zhou entered, Zhunti flicked his finger, and the incense already inserted into the cauldron spontaneously combusted. Soon, King Zhou's mind was disturbed, and the protective dragon behind him was about to be on guard, but Zhunti stopped him.

Zhunti groaned, a trickle of holy blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. His face paled briefly before regaining its rosy hue. Even if he was a saint, plotting against the Human Emperor would still incur the backlash of the human race's fortune. It was only because he was in the Nuwa Temple, with the Holy Mother Nuwa's protection and King Zhou's wicked heart, that he was given a sliver of an opportunity. Otherwise, the backlash from the human race's fortune alone would have been enough to knock him from his saintly position.

King Zhou looked at Nuwa, who was originally holy and pure, but now became extremely alluring and charming. His desires instantly grew, and he could not resist his impulse. He picked up a pen and casually wrote a poem on the pink wall of Nuwa's palace.

"The phoenix and luan jeweled tent is a magnificent sight, adorned with exquisite gold leaf. The distant mountains curve in verdant hues, and the fluttering sleeves reflect the rosy clouds. Pear blossoms, glistening with rain, vie in their allure, while peonies, shrouded in mist, display their captivating beauty. If only such enchanting beauty could move, she would be brought back to Chang Le Palace to serve the king."

He not only recited the poem, but also read it aloud.

Upon hearing these blasphemous verses, all the accompanying civil and military officials immediately paled and knelt down in fear, pleading with King Zhou to erase them.

"Hmph, I wrote this poem to praise Nuwa because I saw that she had an unparalleled beauty, so that it would be passed down to future generations and let the common people know that the goddess Nuwa was exceptionally beautiful. You all need to stop talking."

Behind them, Shang Rong, Bigan, and Wen Zhong had their brows furrowed. Although King Zhou was somewhat arrogant, he was by no means a fool. At this moment, he had completely changed his demeanor. Something was wrong, very wrong. Not only them, but all the ministers with a bit of rationality had doubts in their hearts.

Suddenly, two red lights appeared on the horizon. Thinking "This is bad," Wen Zhong immediately reacted and turned his head to look.

At the same time, his Heavenly Eye suddenly opened between his eyes, right in the center of his brow, generating electricity in the void and faintly crackling sounds, causing ghosts and gods to scatter.

Under his all-seeing eye, he immediately saw three figures appear in the void above.

It was the goddess Nuwa and the three maidens and boys who sat beneath her.

When Wen Zhong saw the Goddess Nuwa, the Goddess Nuwa naturally noticed him as well.

She exclaimed in surprise and looked at Wen Zhong. She saw a surge of blood energy, solidified like a pillar of blood, which was truly unstoppable by any ghost or demon.

"Huh, I didn't expect that the Great Shang Dynasty would have such a figure. He single-handedly bears the hopes of the world. Even if I were a saint, I couldn't stop this overwhelming fortune."

In Nuwa's eyes, Wen Zhong below was no longer a person, but rather a being embodying the thoughts of hundreds of millions of people across the land of China, like a surging torrent.

Killing him is easy, but when the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact?

How could Nuwa incur such a huge karmic consequence just because a junior offended her?
