After establishing the Xia Dynasty, Xia Yu cast Nine Cauldrons based on the gifts and gold offered by the feudal lords of the Nine Provinces, in order to suppress the Nine Provinces.

Each of the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces corresponds to a continent in the world.

These Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces are: the Ji Province Cauldron, the Yan Province Cauldron, the Qing Province Cauldron, Xu Province Cauldron Yang Province Cauldron, the tripod of Jing Province Cauldron, the tripod of Yu Province Cauldron, the Liang Province Cauldron, and the Yong Province Cauldron.

The Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces was cast with the names of mountains, rivers, local products, rare birds and animals of each province.

The Nine Cauldrons Tripods represent the Nine Provinces, with the Yu Province Cauldron being the central tripod, and Yuzhou being the central hub.

The tripod of the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces contains Yang City, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, to show that Da Yu of Xia conquered the Nine Provinces and unified the world.

The Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces are the seat of the "Mandate of Heaven," a symbol of supreme royal power and national unity and prosperity.

In addition, on the day the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces was cast, dragons representing the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) and the four elements (wind, rain, thunder, and lightning) appeared.

The auspicious image of nine dragons signifies that the Dragon Clan recognized the Xia Dynasty regime established by Da Yu of the Human Race.

Furthermore, the nine dragons each infused their own dragon blood into the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces.

This connects the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, enabling them to jointly suppress the fortune of the Nine Provinces and the water flow of the earth's veins.

Thus, the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces, imbued with immense Humanity Merit and dragon blood, also became a Merit Spiritual Treasure.

This magical treasure can form a massive barrier to protect the Human Race's lands Nine Provinces.

At the same time, activating the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces can also be used to attack and kill enemies.

However, to prevent Xia Yu with ulterior motives from coveting the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces...

A rule was established: only the common Human Race and the Great Emperor of the Xia Dynasty could command the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces.

Furthermore, he used his Great Divine Ability powers to set up a barrier, combining his own essence and blood with the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces.

In this way, no matter Great Magic Power a descendant of someone who is not of the Xia Yu bloodline has, they will not be able to activate the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces.

In Xia Yu's view, with the Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces suppressing the Nine Provinces of the world, the Xia Dynasty's Human Race would surely share the throne and be able to pass it down for thousands of generations.

But is that really the case?

Chen Sheng Wu Guang, who shouted "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?", raised their arms and shouted in the future, looking down on Xia Yu and other kings and nobles with disdain.

Looking enviously at Qin Shi Huang's luxurious convoy passing by, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, exclaimed, "A true man should be like this!"

The young and spirited Xiang Yu, the Xi Chu Overlord Xiang Yu, gazed upon the magnificent scene of Qin Shi Huang procession, with its rolling canopy and the awe-inspiring presence of thousands. His eyes shone brightly, brimming with ambition, and he exclaimed, "He can be overthrown!"

The wheels of history keep turning, and even Sage cannot control their destiny.

What about a mere emperor of a secular dynasty?

Although Xia Yu was a man of unparalleled merit, blessed with great fortune and the Mandate of Heaven, he was ultimately just an ordinary man.

After Yu the Xia Yu abdicated and the fortunes and merits of the Human Race shifted, who would still remember him as the great emperor who controlled the floods?

Time will eventually make people forget.

Unbreakable love, blood ties, and friendships based on shared ideals...

Everything will become mundane, until there are no waves at all.

It was from the time of Xia Yu that the Human Race abdicated and withdrew from the historical stage.

The system of bloodline inheritance came to the forefront.

Finally, before ascending to the Heavenly Realm, Xia Yu passed the throne of the Xia Dynasty to his son Xia Qi.

However, in order to take into account the opinions of other feudal lords and the hearts of the Human Race, Xia Yu orchestrated a charade of abdication.

He first abdicated the throne to Yi.

Yi wasn't a fool; he could tell the difference between genuine and feigned feelings, so naturally he refused to agree.

However, Xia Yu insisted on doing so.

Unable to resist the powerful, Yi had no choice but to agree.

In this way, Yi became a thorn in Xia Qi Qi's side.

In Xia Qi's view, Yi had completely usurped the throne that should have belonged to him.

Such deep-seated hatred is irreconcilable.

Relying on his status as the eldest son of Xia Yu, Xia Qi began plotting to overthrow Yi's regime.

After Yu the Xia Yu's death, Xia Qi succeeded to the throne and claimed the rightful rulership.

We must raise an army to punish Yi, who is plotting to usurp the throne.

Benefits of being forced into a position without any foundation.

How could he be a match for Xia Qi, who had been plotting for so long?

In addition, there was the political influence of the other side, Xia Yu Yuzi.

The struggle between Yi and Xia Qi.

They were at a significant disadvantage from the very beginning.

Anxious and distraught, Yi sent an envoy to Xia Qi requesting that he abdicate and yield the throne to a more worthy successor.

However, Xia Qi, who deeply hated Yi, naturally paid no attention to this.

They continued their advance towards the capital of the Xia Dynasty.

Ultimately, Xia Qi personally executed Yi, overthrowing Yi's regime.

They denied the other party's identity as the emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

He believed himself to be the first legitimate emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

From then on, the "public world" of the Primordial Human Race society was completely transformed into a "family world".

The concept of "abdication to the virtuous and capable" has also changed to "hereditary succession."

However, although Xia Qi seized power from Yi through war and force.

However, not all the feudal states in the world were convinced of his authority.

Soon, war broke out again on the land, and the conflict continued.

After several more rounds of replacements.

The throne of the Xia Dynasty was passed to its fourteenth ruler, Xia Jie.

The Xia Dynasty, founded by Xia Qi, was a hereditary dynasty that was on the verge of extinction.

Xia Jie, the last emperor of the Xia Dynasty, was a notoriously tyrannical ruler in history.

He levied exorbitant taxes, implemented wicked policies, and relentlessly plundered the people's wealth.

However, even so, the Xia Dynasty's rule over the past few decades had deeply penetrated the hearts of the people, and no one dared to rebel.

Even though public resentment was boiling over, it was just a lot of complaining.

How can the starving dead, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, possibly stop them?

However, Xia Jie was not satisfied with plundering the people's wealth.

They then extended their greedy hands to the various vassal states of the Human Race.

The amount of money offered each month more than doubles each month.

Furthermore, he wanted the various vassal states to offer rare treasures, delicacies, and beauties from all ethnic groups to satisfy his greedy and despicable desires.

This thoroughly angered the rulers of the various vassal states.

After discussing it privately, they decided that it would be better to split the two into five and overthrow the Xia Dynasty.

Otherwise, simply expelling Xia Jie from the throne would not have been enough; the new emperor would still have been a member of the Xia family.

It's inevitable that they'll settle scores with them later.

Under the wise leadership of a ruler named Shang Tang.

With the assistance of virtuous ministers and capable officials such as Yi Yin Zhong Hui.

King Tang of the Shang Kingdom eventually overthrew the rule of the Xia Dynasty.

They also established the Shang Dynasty at Haochi.

After a grand assembly of three thousand feudal lords, Tang was finally elected as the Son of Heaven, establishing his capital at Bo City, and retaining the name "Shang" for his state.

However, the "Shang" at this time was no longer the "Xia- Shang Kingdom", but the upgraded "Shang Dynasty".

Tang learned from the lessons of the Xia Dynasty's demise and issued the "Tang Proclamation".

He demanded that his subjects "serve the people diligently and be of good use," otherwise "they would be severely punished and executed."

Regarding the remnants of the Xia Kingdom, Tang governed them with leniency, allowing the descendants of the Xia Dynasty to retain the "Xia Society" and bestowing titles upon the descendants of Da Yu.

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, class contradictions eased, the regime was relatively stable, and the country's strength grew stronger day by day.

However, mortals who become kings rarely meet a good end.

Even if one possesses extraordinary abilities and attains a position comparable to the Daluo Realm, one still cannot escape the cruel tricks of fate.

Shang Tang was the Shang Kingdom for 17 years, and after establishing the Shang Dynasty, he reigned as king for 12 years.

After that, he died at the age of 18.

His temple name Shang Taizu.
