Primordial Chaos: Yang Jian Becomes a Saint, and I, His Master, Can No Longer Lie Low

Di Xin showed no mercy whatsoever. In his heart, the outline of a future sacred dynasty had already taken shape, and he could not afford a single misstep!

"Ah! Great King, no! Great King, I know I was wrong!"

Fei Zhong was utterly panicked. The first thing Di Xin did after ascending the throne was order his execution—how could he not be terrified?

Unfortunately for him, Di Xin had only just taken the throne and needed to establish his authority. Fei Zhong was the perfect example.

Fei Zhong was dragged away just like that. Everyone was deeply shocked; Di Xin's iron-blooded methods revealed the steel in his character.

"Wise and sagacious, Great King!"

At that moment, no one dared question Di Xin again. They all bowed in salute.

"I do not care what you were like in the past. From this day onward, I expect you to obey the laws and discipline. Whoever violates them may look to Fei Zhong as a fine example."

Di Xin spoke in a deep voice. Nearly all these people had some skeletons in their closets, but he could not kill them all. Still, he had to make every one of them understand the consequences.

Before long, Di Xin announced several matters and dismissed the court. Without question, however, this day would remain unforgettable to the many ministers.

In the palace's rear courtyard, Di Xin sat facing Li Jing.

"Li Jing, there is no need for ceremony. Tell me what you think."

Hearing Di Xin's words, Li Jing hurriedly replied, "Great King, this humble minister greatly admires your iron-blooded methods. I have no objections!"

"Hahaha, what happened today was merely the beginning. I summoned you here today because there is something I need you to do!"

"Please give your orders, Great King!"

Li Jing's body trembled. He was being assigned a task—this meant he was finally being given a chance to display his abilities.

"Back then, after our forefather Yu the Great's Flood Control succeeded, he cast the Nine Cauldrons to stabilize the realm. The realm still stands today, yet the Nine Cauldrons are incomplete. I want you to find them and bring them back to Chaoge."

Li Jing's body shook. The Nine Cauldrons were renowned throughout the realm, so naturally he knew of them. But he had never expected Di Xin to seek them out.

"This humble minister accepts the command!"

Li Jing hurriedly bowed in acknowledgment. The task might be difficult, but the more difficult the task, the better it would prove his abilities.

At this moment, in the Heavenly Court, Haotian was resting with his eyes closed in Yaochi when a heavenly soldier suddenly entered.

"What is it?"

Haotian did not open his eyes, merely asking softly.

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, the king of Great Shang among the human race has abdicated, and his son Di Xin has succeeded him. We found this unusual and came to report it!"

"What is so surprising about a human emperor changing hands? Must you report to me every time he eats, drinks, pisses, or shits?"

Haotian was clearly displeased, and the heavenly soldier immediately dropped to his knees.

"Please forgive us, Jade Emperor. We sensed that Di Xin was somewhat unusual and specifically investigated him, only to discover that he possesses Golden Immortal cultivation. A human king has appeared at the Immortal Realm, so we felt it more proper to report this!"

"Golden Immortal cultivation!"

Haotian opened his eyes, confusion appearing in them as well.

The rise and fall of human dynasties was part of the human race's natural development. But if an Immortal Realm king emerged, a dynasty might endure for ages, its providence stretching long and far. This was indeed no minor matter.

Yet he soon gave a soft laugh. "He is merely a Golden Immortal. If anything goes wrong, there will be no need for us to act—them will not be able to sit back and watch either. There is no need to pay it too much mind. Just keep a slight watch on it."

The Saints Take Notice, Yang Jian Breaks Through

Meanwhile, within Jade Void Palace, Primordial Lord of Heaven suddenly opened his eyes from meditation.

Just moments ago, he had sensed that a portion of his providence had been divided away by the human race.

"What is going on?"

Primordial Lord of Heaven gave a surprised murmur, his expression turning solemn.

He calculated with his fingers. "It is actually the most crucial link in the Investiture of the Gods plan. What is happening? How did this Di Xin ascend to the throne so quickly?"

Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression shifted uncertainly as he continued his calculations. Then his face changed. "Di Xin has actually become an immortal? How is that possible?"

Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression immediately turned grave. The king of the human race breaking through to immortality was no trivial matter to them.

One had to know that ever since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, human kings had been unable to break through and become immortals.

The primary reason lay in providence. Once a human king became an immortal, it granted his dynasty vast and enduring providence.

If this continued, the human race's providence would continually increase along with the dynasty's fortunes. When that happened, the providence possessed by the saints would also be seized away.

Thus, to prevent such a situation, the various saints had always kept watch over the rulers of the human race.

But what had happened today exceeded Primordial Lord of Heaven's expectations.

What shocked him even more was that when he prepared to further calculate the causes and consequences, he discovered that he could calculate nothing at all.

"What is happening? Could the other party be a saint? No, that cannot be right. If it were a saint, I should still be able to calculate some karmic threads. Unless..."

Primordial Lord of Heaven's body trembled. In this world, he could think of only one person capable of evading his calculations.

Within Western Teachings, two venerables sat in meditation inside a resplendent, golden hall.

Suddenly, both opened their eyes, their brows unconsciously knitting together.

"What is going on? Something unexpected has happened to Di Xin!"
