Two and a half months later.
The succession ceremony was held as scheduled.
Feudal lords from across the entire Human Race, great and small alike, had all gathered in Chaoge, the most prosperous city of the Human Race.
Inside the Royal Palace.
It was packed to the brim.
People streamed in without end.
Festive excitement filled every corner.
"Wu Geng, I'm handing the flourishing Shang Dynasty over to you."
"If you ruin this max-level account, just wait. Tai Kang in the Human Sovereign Hall will be your fate."
Before the Human Sovereign Hall. (There were two Human Sovereign Halls: one within the Holy Hall, where retired Human Sovereigns lived out their later years, and another that handled the affairs of Great Shang.)
Di Xin heavily patted Wu Geng's shoulder and gave him a meaningful warning.
Under Di Xin's seemingly casual scrutiny, Wu Geng immediately felt his hair stand on end. He was terrified.
Tai Kang of the Human Sovereign Hall?
Wu Geng had never met him, but as the Crown Prince of Great Shang and the next Human Sovereign, he had heard quite a bit about him.
Tai Kang Loses the State. In the Human Sovereign Hall, he had been reprimanded by Qi above and brutally beaten by Shao Kang below.
He could be called the disgrace of all Human Sovereigns.
The number one good-for-nothing!
Even Xia Jie, the last tyrant of the Xia Dynasty, had been better than him.
Xia Jie had been evil, not incompetent.
Tai Kang had been purely incompetent without even realizing it.
At the thought of Tai Kang's fate, Wu Geng could not help but shudder.
"Rest assured, Father King." Wu Geng gave an awkward laugh and promised, "Great Shang will never decline in your son's hands."
"Mm."
Di Xin nodded and smiled in satisfaction.
