You were asked to assist Di Xin, but you made him the Human Emperor?

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for subduing the Seven Monsters of Mount Mei and obtaining ten million points of Great Dao Merit!"

Just then, the System's prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.

With the rewards credited, Deng Jiugong nodded in satisfaction.

This time, he not only gained ten million points of Great Dao Merit, but also subdued the Seven Monsters of Mount Mei.

In the future, when he clashed with Jiang Ziya, he would have many generals on his side, and their strength would not be insignificant. Let's see how Xiqi could fight.

"You shall all immediately proceed to Three Mountains Pass and find my deputy commander, Kong Xuan. He will make all the arrangements!"

Deng Jiugong said.

Upon hearing this, the Seven Monsters of Mount Mei nodded. With a movement, they transformed into streaks of light and vanished into the horizon.

Deng Jiugong moved his body, changed direction, and flew rapidly towards Chaoge City.

Chaoge City, Royal Palace!

Emperor Xin's face was flushed with wine, and his expression was quite enraged.

"Deng Jiugong still hasn't returned to court. This is outrageous!"

As his voice fell, fueled by the alcohol, he flipped the table in front of him, unleashing a fit of violent rage.

This only made the ministers below tremble in fear, and they all lowered their heads, daring not to speak.

The King is unpredictable, and today he's having an episode again!!!

It's been a long time since an urgent report was sent to Three Mountains Pass, asking Deng Jiugong to return to court quickly.

Originally, it was a kind intention. The ministers had discussed and recommended Deng Jiugong to replace Wen Zhong as the Grand Tutor of Great Shang.

But who would have thought that after so many days, Deng Jiugong still hadn't returned to court.

"Your Majesty, Deng Jiugong's prolonged absence from court is a direct defiance of your decree! Where does this place Your Majesty?"

Fei Zhong immediately spoke.

"Exactly! Deng Jiugong is too audacious, completely disregarding the imperial edict and acting as he pleases. Does he think he can be so arrogant just because he's won a few battles?" You Hun chimed in.

This is clearly showing no regard for His Majesty!

Originally, Fei Zhong and You Hun did not want Deng Jiugong to become the Grand Tutor of Great Shang.

After all, when Wen Zhong was still alive, he had publicly reprimanded them in front of many civil and military officials, causing them to lose face.

Wen Zhong finally died, and the heavy stone pressing down on them was finally removed, allowing them to finally catch their breath.

Now, the civil and military officials are recommending Deng Jiugong to become the Grand Tutor of Great Shang, which is like placing another heavy stone on top of them.

How could Fei Zhong and You Hun possibly agree?

And now, with His Majesty summoning Deng Jiugong back to court, and Deng Jiugong's prolonged absence, this presents them with an opportunity.

If His Majesty listens to the Queen seven parts of the time, they can influence three parts.

With these three parts of authority, as long as Deng Jiugong cannot ascend to the position, the seat of Grand Tutor of Great Shang will eventually be theirs.

Fei Zhong has harbored this ambition for a long time; how could he let Deng Jiugong benefit?

"Deng Jiugong is indeed too out of line. After winning battles, he has become arrogant!" Daji the Nine-tailed Fox said displeasedly.

Hearing this, the other two spirits beside her, the Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit, spoke.

"Deng Jiugong is so arrogant and acts as he pleases. How can he be qualified to be the Grand Tutor of Great Shang!"

"He hasn't even become the Grand Tutor yet, and he already disregards His Majesty so much. If he were to become the Grand Tutor, what then!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's expression became even more furious.

"This is simply outrageous! I will punish him!!!"

Indeed, when Grand Tutor Wen was around, he feared Grand Tutor Wen.

Because Grand Tutor Wen held the King-Beating Whip.

And besides Grand Tutor Wen, Emperor Xin feared no one!

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Fei Zhong and You Hun's expressions lit up with joy.

The expressions of the civil and military officials below changed, filled with worry.

If Deng Jiugong is punished by the King, who will protect Great Shang from danger?

Buzz!

Just then, Deng Jiugong's figure, for some unknown reason, had already appeared outside the Nine-Chamber Hall.

Immediately, under everyone's complex gazes, he strode in majestically.

Although he wasn't present before, with Deng Jiugong's cultivation, nothing in the royal palace could escape his senses.

He was also well aware of everything happening in the Nine Jian Hall.

However, after Deng Jiugong appeared, his first action was to look at Emperor Xin.

A golden dragon of destiny coiled around Emperor Xin, intrinsically linked to the destiny of the entire Great Shang. However, this golden dragon of destiny had grown increasingly weak.

This indicated that the Great Shang's fortune was nearing its end!

Still, with this golden dragon of destiny protecting him, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal couldn't harm Emperor Xin, lest they suffer a backlash from the Human King's destiny.

Though a mortal ruler, Emperor Xin possessed little cultivation, he was a genuine Human King.

Above the Human King was the Human Emperor, and above that, the Human Emperor.

However, legend had it that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were tricked by the Heavenly Dao into the Huoyun Cave. In the mortal realm, Emperor Xin's title as Human King was the highest.

Possessing the title of Human King and protected by the golden dragon of destiny, even some Immortals couldn't do anything to him. Even Saints were unwilling to directly suppress a Human King, as it involved countless citizens of the Great Shang and significant karma.

Therefore, the Saints devised many schemes, intending to dissipate Emperor Xin's Human King destiny!

Especially since Emperor Xin harbored intentions of defying heaven, he was a thorn in the Heavenly Dao's side.

The previous Shang King, Emperor Wu Yi, had shot at the heavens with a bow, acting against the natural order, and died from heavenly retribution.

Emperor Xin had inherited Emperor Wu Yi's defiant will, and naturally, he would not be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

However, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ceased their interference in human affairs, the Human King had become a mere title, lacking actual power. A truly regrettable situation!

Moreover, at this time, the atmosphere within the Great Shang remained corrupt. Emperor Xin was being deluded by Nuwa's Three Demons, and further hindered by the treacherous officials Fei Zhong and You Hun.

If this continued, the Great Shang would inevitably perish sooner or later!

Originally, Emperor Xin was quite astute, otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Human King.

It all began when he offered incense at the Nuwa Temple, was schemed against by someone from the Heavenly Dao, and inscribed a poem on the statue of Nuwa.

Then, Nuwa sent the Three Demons to bewitch Emperor Xin and corrupt the Great Shang's destiny, leading the Great Shang to its current predicament.

At this moment, looking at the drunken expression on Emperor Xin's face, it was clear he had just returned from a night of debauchery.

While he fought on the front lines, risking his life, Emperor Xin indulged himself.

Previously, he had even intended to punish him!

However, as a subject, Deng Jiugong wouldn't neglect his courtesies.

"Deng Jiugong pays his respects to the Great King!"

Deng Jiugong spoke.

"How dare you!"

"Deng Jiugong, the Great King summoned you back to court, yet you delayed your return. Now that you see the Great King, why do you not kneel in homage!"

Fei Zhong immediately berated him, causing the atmosphere in the court to suddenly become tense.

"Deng Jiugong, quickly kneel!"

"You may disregard all the civil and military officials here, but showing such disrespect to the Great King is unwise!"

You Hun chimed in.

With those words, Deng Jiugong was instantly placed in opposition to everyone present.

Hearing this, Emperor Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at Deng Jiugong.

As a subject, Deng Jiugong not kneeling before him displeased Emperor Xin.

However, the Deng family had been loyal and righteous for nine generations. Emperor Xin still held a basic level of trust for Deng Jiugong.

At this moment, Fei Zhong and You Hun had put Deng Jiugong in a difficult position. Although Emperor Xin was displeased, he still spoke to ease the situation for Deng Jiugong.

"The Deng family has been loyal and righteous for nine generations, and my esteemed minister Deng has repeatedly achieved merit. You need not kneel before me!"
