"By the way, General, there's been some movement concerning the Earth Civilization you asked me to keep an eye on!"
Suddenly, Yuan Li brought up the matter of Earth to Pan Zhen again.
"Oh? What kind of movement? I seem to remember that Celestial King He Xi of the Angel Civilization had been staying there for over a thousand years. What? Did they start fighting?"
Upon hearing that something had happened on Earth, Pan Zhen asked with great curiosity.
Yuan Li looked at Pan Zhen speechlessly and explained, "Of course not. I'm saying that the angels left Earth Star not long ago, and judging from the circumstances, they were driven out!"
Pan Zhen pondered this before saying, "I see. I thought it was something serious. But now that you mention it, Brother Yang really doesn't know how to show consideration to women. Such beautiful angels, and he drove them out just like that. He's destined to die alone!"
Yuan Li stood beside him with black lines across his face as he watched the regretful expression appear on Pan Zhen's face.
"General, are you focusing on the wrong thing? Shouldn't we be considering the strength of the Earth Civilization right now? What are you thinking about?"
"Uh... Go on, I'm listening!"
Pan Zhen waved his hand and continued pondering.
"My view is that since the Earth Civilization was able to drive away an angel—moreover, Celestial King He Xi, one of the Three Kings of the Angel Civilization—the strength of that Guardian God of Earth must be far from weak."
"His strength on display last time probably wasn't his full power either. After all, anyone capable of driving away an angel would at least be an outstanding Third Generation God, even if he wasn't a Fourth Generation God!"
Based on the information he had observed, Yuan Li carefully analyzed the strength of Yang Hua of the Earth Civilization.
"Your analysis makes sense. Regardless, we're friends with the Earth Civilization for now, so we only need to observe them quietly. Whatever you do, don't monitor them openly."
"Also, I'll visit Earth and pay Brother Yang a visit after some time. You're coming with me!"
After warning Yuan Li, Pan Zhen rose and left the main hall of the palace.
Yuan Li remained behind, pondering alone for a while before turning and leaving the hall as well.
After Tai Kong had pointed the De Nuo Remnants in the direction they should take moving forward, he came alone to an unknown region of the Super God Universe. The moment he appeared in the midst of the void, the principal of the Super God Academy, Tai Kong, immediately fell into danger.
A gigantic black hole was slowly devouring Tai Kong. Despite exerting all his strength, Tai Kong still could not escape. In the end, he could only be completely swallowed by the black hole.
At the same time, on the Divine Continent of Earth Star, after Sun Wukong and Tian Yan had led the Ancestral Court Imperial Guard in sweeping across the world, almost all the sects chose to go into seclusion.
However, they had never expected that there would actually be some stubborn, death-defying sects bold enough to defy the Ancestor God's decree.
These sects began openly interfering in the Shang-Zhou War. In their view, as long as they could win this war and then control the newly established dynasty, the Ancestor God surely would not punish them for what had happened before. In the end, it was merely wishful thinking at work.
With these sects joining the battle, the result of the Shang-Zhou War was, as expected, victory for the feudal lords' allied army led by the newly appointed Marquis of Xibo, Ji Fa.
After all, once the sects intervened, even the several-hundred-year foundation of Great Shang could not withstand them. Their arrival directly turned the tide of the battle.
Great Shang was defeated, and Yin Shou was badly wounded and outmatched. Within Chaoge City, he activated a great formation and killed many powerful figures from the sects, but he was still unable to turn the tide. In the end, he fell in Chaoge.
Thus, with the help of those sects, Martial King Ji Fa established the Zhou Dynasty on the foundation of the Shang Dynasty, completing the campaign to overthrow Shang.
After the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, those sects thought they would be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Little did they know that the Ancestral Court Imperial Guard and the others had been waiting precisely for this moment.
Under the leadership of Gu Beishi and Da Yi, all the Imperial Guards were mobilized to sweep across every sect in the world that had not gone into seclusion. Not a single one was spared.
This action also caused everyone on the Divine Continent to regain their awe of the Ancestor God. Zhou Martial King Ji Fa went even further, ordering the Ancestor God Temples to be rebuilt throughout the land. Commoners were to pay their respects once a month, while the royal family was to offer sacrifices once a year.
Inside the Primordial Beginning Palace on Kunlun Mountain, just as the Angel Civilization and the Lieyang Civilization were discussing the Earth Civilization, Yang Hua and Cang Yun had already returned from the moon.
Yang Hua directly summoned Tian Yan and said, "Since you have nothing better to do, This Venerable One found you a disciple. From now on, you'll be responsible for teaching him cultivation. Also, this disciple's identity is somewhat special. You'll have to decide for yourself what to do."
"Master, what's my disciple's identity? What's so special about him? Could it be that he has a grudge against you?"
Upon learning that he had a disciple to play with... Bah, to teach, Tian Yan was extremely excited. But after hearing that the disciple's identity was special, he immediately grew curious and asked.
"You'll find out for yourself. He's in the side hall next door right now. Go over there too."
"All right!"
Tian Yan excitedly turned and ran toward the hall next door.
The moment he entered the side hall, Tian Yan spotted a young man standing there and looking around. Moreover, there was something inexplicably familiar about the young man's back.
With his curiosity aroused, Tian Yan walked in front of the young man and slowly said, "Are you the disciple Master found for me? What's your name... Oh, what the hell, Yin Shou?! Weren't you dead? What's going on?"
"You are? Tian Yan Daojun! Could it be that you died too?"
Looking at Tian Yan standing before him, Yin Shou also asked tentatively.
"I'm Tian Yan, but I'm not dead. And you aren't dead either. Judging from the situation, my master must have revived you and then told me to take you as my disciple. I don't know why, but... Forget it. You should just become my disciple!"
Tian Yan nodded and looked at Yin Shou before speaking in surprise.
After learning that Tian Yan wanted to take him as a disciple, Yin Shou showed no excitement. Instead, he asked even more doubtfully, "Why do you want to take me as your disciple? Your master seems to be the Primordial Ancestral God, right? Great Shang once offended the Ancestor God, too. Can I, the ruler of Great Shang, really enter the Ancestor God's tutelage?"
He had only learned that Tian Yan was the Ancestor God's disciple when Tian Yan and the others led the Imperial Guard in sweeping across the sects of the world.
In principle, as the king of Great Shang, it should have been impossible for him to enter the Ancestor God's tutelage. So what was going on now? Why had the Ancestor God ordered Tian Yan to take him as a disciple? Yin Shou felt that his heart was filled with countless questions!
"To be honest, I don't know the answer to that either. Master gave the order, so I'm merely following it. If you really want to know, you can ask him yourself!"
"But first, you have to become my disciple!"
Seeing Yin Shou remain silent, Tian Yan immediately reminded him.
Yin Shou raised his head and looked around. It was not difficult to guess that this was the Primordial Beginning Palace on Kunlun Mountain. After thinking for a moment, Yin Shou said firmly, "All right. I'm willing to take you as my master!"
