After Shang Tang took control of the Human Race, he renamed the Xia Dynasty's capital Bo and made it the capital of his new dynasty.
In addition, he granted a general amnesty, reduced taxes, and comforted the people.
His series of measures finally brought long-awaited peace to the war-torn lands of the Human Race.
Once the Human Race's realm had been pacified, turmoil suddenly arose in the depths of its skies.
Following the sound, they saw Celebration Clouds spreading across the heavens.
Then, golden rays of Merit fell from within the clouds.
Though these golden rays of Merit were not as immense as those bestowed when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors attained the Dao, they still represented the Primordial World's recognition of the change of dynasties and the founding of a new one!
The Merit was divided into three portions. One entered Shang Tang's body, helping him solidify his Dao foundation.
Another fell into the hands of the aides sent by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
The last portion fell into the Nine Cauldrons of the Human Race.
This stabilized the Human Race's Fortune once more.
The commotion in the Human Race's realm naturally drew the attention of many mighty figures across the Primordial Wilderness.
"The Xia fell, and the Shang rose!"
"The realm belongs to the Shang, and the hearts of the people are united behind it."
"It seems Shang Tang was chosen by Heaven. He even received a reward of Merit from the Heavenly Dao."
"But the power of this Merit is far too meager. It can't compare at all to the Merit bestowed from Heaven during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
"What a pity! I sent disciples there back then, too, but they chose a vassal lord other than Shang Tang."
