King Wen Suffered Hardship and Composed the Book of Changes
"System, I choose option two."
With Taiyi's choice, the Innate Emperor Origin was also distributed.
Looking at the golden source before him, Taiyi swallowed it without hesitation.
An unparalleled imperial aura instantly rose from Taiyi's body.
From the Chaos Emperor Demon God of the Chaos Era to the Beast Emperor Shen Ni of the Primordial Era.
Then came the Progenitor Dragon, the Yuanfeng, and the First Qilin from the era of the Innate Three Clans.
Then came the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch-Demon Era, and the Demon Court's Supreme Beings Nether River and Kunpeng.
And the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors of the Human Race Era.
There are also countless emperors and leaders from other time periods.
A figure appeared behind Taiyi.
It may roar through the galaxy, or dominate the winds and clouds.
Or, in a fit of rage, he might unleash a massacre of corpses and ten thousand soldiers.
A magnificent and awe-inspiring imperial aura, as if ruling over the land and controlling the heavens and earth, permeated the air.
Sentient Beings submitted.
Ultimately, these worlds, spanning various times and spaces, and dominating various timelines, were destroyed.
All of them flowed into the sea and entered Taiyi's body.
That was when Taiyi was refining the origin of the Emperor's Way.
The Primordial Human Realm.
Xiqi also formally established the Zhou Dynasty's authority and launched Campaign Against Shang.
This differs from the original historical account.
The original history should be that Lord of the West Ji Chang of the Xiqi Kingdom was summoned to Chaoge City and imprisoned by Di Xin.
To prevent Xiqi from becoming too powerful.
Subsequently, Xu Boyi Kao, with luxurious carriages, beautiful women, and rare treasures to help him pass through the checkpoint.
They also offered a large territory to Di Xin as a sign of submission.
This pleased Di Xin greatly, who pardoned Lord of the West Ji Chang's crimes and released him to return west.
However, Boyi Kao was also chopped into mincemeat and fed to King Wen, Lord of the West Ji Chang.
Furthermore, Di Xin left behind a saying that has been passed down through the ages, "It is said that Sage would not eat his own son."
"If someone like Kuang Lord of the West Ji Chang ate his own son, then he would not be Sage."
The subtext was to tarnish Lord of the West Ji Chang's own reputation.
This was to prove that he had no ulterior motives towards the Shang Dynasty.
To avoid certain death, Lord of the West Ji Chang lowered Di Xin's guard.
She endured the pain and ate three large bowls of meat sauce made by her son Boyi Kao, with tears in her eyes.
After returning to Xiqi, he vomited incessantly and made three small rabbits out of meat sauce.
To avenge their humiliation.
Lord of the West Ji Chang appointed Jiang Ziya as his prime minister.
He diligently cultivated his inner strength and trained his army.
In an attempt to overthrow the Shang Dynasty's rule.
Even so, Lord of the West Ji Chang did not lead troops to Campaign Against Shang.
He died prematurely due to overwork.
Later, the youngest son, King Wu Ji Fa the throne, proclaimed himself King Wu of Zhou, and Campaign Against Shang the Shang dynasty on behalf of Heaven.
They claimed to be acting in accordance with the will of Heaven, and were therefore the sons of Heaven.
From this point on, the Human Race entered the era of Son of Heaven.
The titles of Human King and Human Emperor are gone forever.
However, the current situation is that Lord of the West Ji Chang is still vigorous despite his old age.
They even directly launched a rebellion.
It differs greatly from the original history.
Taiyi learned about this historical process.
I didn't feel anything was unexpected.
If they hadn't done so, Xiqi might have perished prematurely before it could fulfill its historical role of replacing the Yin Shang.
This Di Xin was not the legendary King Zhou.
He was a wise and diligent ruler.
With this ebb and flow, the Great Shang will only become stronger.
Xiqi will only become weaker and weaker.
At that time, Di Xin, who possessed the wealth of the four seas and ruled the world, would not need to send out troops.
A single imperial edict could kill Xiqi without them even realizing it.
Humanitarian behavior is nothing more than a cycle of strength and weakness, with each side taking turns.
"Yuanshi is getting anxious."
Taiyi smiled and, unsurprisingly, guessed who was the mastermind behind it all.
Without the decree of the Yuanshi Tianzun, how dare Jiang Ziya, a mere pawn and scapegoat, conspire with King Wen of King Wen, Ji Chang, to launch a coup ahead of schedule?
Although King Wen Ji Chang, did not live through the seven-year reign of the Yin Shang, he still invented the Acquired Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes.
When discussing the Acquired Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes, one cannot help but mention the Innate Eight Trigrams of Fuxi.
Fuxi saw the He Luo Book and developed the Dao of the Innate Eight Trigrams.
The Innate Eight Trigrams were formed by observing the evolutionary trajectory of the universe, stars, and all things.
Therefore, there are only numbers and images, but no direction.
The Acquired Eight Trigrams is different; it follows the principles of favorable location and harmonious relationships.
This can be considered a complete interpretation of the Eight Trigrams.
These Innate Eight Trigrams trigrams are:
Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun , Kan , Gen 7, Kun 8.
The direction of the Acquired Eight Trigrams is:
The Zhen trigram corresponds to the east; the Xun trigram to the southeast; the Li trigram to the south; and the Kun trigram to the southwest.
The trigram Dui corresponds to the west; the trigram Qian to the northwest; the trigram Kan to the north; and the trigram Gen to the northeast.
The Innate Eight Trigrams are re-examined.
The Acquired Eight Trigrams emphasizes practical application.
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The combination of innate and acquired factors.
That is the complete way of the Eight Trigrams.
It is obvious.
This was also driven by the Yuanshi God.
However, Yuanshi's heart must be bleeding.
This hasn't even begun to reap the benefits of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
She had already experienced severe bleeding prematurely.
Whether it was to improve the fortunes of the Xiqi state, to train troops and raise troops, or to help King Wen comprehend the Acquired Eight Trigrams.
These are all situations that require a great deal of Merit and Destiny.
Even Sage doesn't have much surplus food to squander.
If it were the Goddess Nüwa, that would be easy to explain.
After all, Nüwa herself was the Humanity Saint Mother.
With the support of the Human Race, they have a continuous supply of Merit and Destiny from the Human Race.
However, Pi Yuanshi was not so fortunate.
On the contrary, as the Sage who founded the Elucidation Sect and proved the Way, Yuanshi had to give back his Sage to support the Human Race.
Over time, the Heavenly Dao Merit bestowed upon them by Heaven when they established the Heavenly Dao was mostly squandered.
Inside the Jade Void Palace.
Yuanshi looked down at the Xiqi army, which was launching a massive attack on the Yin Shang, and felt a sudden toothache.
Hopefully, Jiang Ziya won't disappoint him.
Otherwise, this wave of investment would be completely wasted.
In the Tushita Palace Eight Scenery Palace.
Taiqing Laozi looked at King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang, who had already held a wedding ceremony in the west, and shook his head slightly.
My younger brother is still not mature and steady enough.
When the time was right, they began their Campaign Against Shang.
It is clear that the hearts of the Human Race of the world are still with the Great Shang.
In the eyes of the people, Di Xin was still a wise and powerful king.
There was no perverse or cruel behavior, no debauchery or excess.
With such a wise and virtuous ruler, who would dare to rebel?
Those who dare to plot rebellion will face the fate of being abandoned by all.
Those who act justly will find many supporters, while those who act unjustly will find few.
It is obvious that Ji Chang's expedition will not end well.
Laozi only glanced at the flags in Ji Chang's army and roughly understood.
At this time, the lords who submitted to Xiqi were all small vassal states that were originally subordinate to Xiqi.
The number of people was not large, but there were seven forces.
The allied forces of the feudal lords were not strong either, consisting of only a rabble of over 100,000 men.
Even after practicing military formations using Jiang Ziya's military treatise.
But how can military books possibly describe the details of actual military operations?
Laozi was very pessimistic about this action by the Elucidation Sect.
But Laozi won't say anything.
I simply watched quietly.
He knew that some feelings could only be understood after experiencing them firsthand.
Biyou Palace on Golden Ao Island.
The Master Tongtian were also taken aback by the actions of the Elucidation Sect.
Goodness.
This Investiture of the Gods Calamity hasn't even officially begun yet.
So you've already started plotting a rebellion?
Isn't this like throwing eggs at a rock?
Is it possible that Second Brother Yuanshi is particularly stubborn?
Want to try the Hell difficulty?
Although Tongtian didn't understand why, he admired him greatly.
"Second brother, since you're offering me your head, then I won't be polite."
Master Tongtian muttered to himself and gave an order.
Immediately, the attendant disciple summoned Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the outer sect, and others.
"On this day, the Xiqi Elucidation Sect will make some unusual moves. You will lead your people down to the mortal realm to protect the safety of King Di Xin."
"As for other matters, let them take their natural course; there's no need to interfere."
The Master Tongtian directly commands the Dao.
"Yes."
Although Zhao Gongming and the other outer disciples were puzzled, they dared not utter a word and simply bowed in agreement.
