Xiao Bai Attains the Dao! Great Shang treated it like a game.
They could abandon territory they had conquered whenever they pleased.
They had clearly been on the verge of taking Western Zhou's capital, yet they simply withdrew their troops.
Since ancient times, Great Shang was probably the only one capable of waging war with such casualness.
As for what Great Shang was thinking, the lords across the four regions of the human realm had no way of knowing.
But Western Zhou did not care about that!
It was best if Great Shang made no move!
They could take this opportunity to properly recover their strength!
After Ji Chang's death, Western Zhou split into two political powers.
One was Upper Zhou.
The other was Lower Zhou.
Bo Yikao of Upper Zhou had completely collapsed mentally. He took his elderly mother, who was Di Xin's aunt, and went to Chaoge to surrender.
Now, all the lords and ministers who still wanted to rebel had gathered under Ji Fa of Lower Zhou!
It could be said that Lower Zhou, where Ji Fa was, had already become the legitimate Western Zhou.
In order to replenish his troops quickly and strengthen himself, Ji Fa had gone mad and begun attacking the Western Lords!
Of course, he targeted those lords who were already considering retreat.
He forcibly consolidated the forces of the western human realm.
When Western Zhou fought Great Shang, it suffered defeat after defeat.
But that did not mean Western Zhou was weak.
Western Zhou declared, "I may not be able to defeat Great Shang, but can't I deal with you lot?"
Thus, the human realm, which had only just grown quiet, was once again thrown into considerable turmoil.
Great Shang made no move in response.
It merely issued a Human Sovereign Edict.
