Gu Changqing glanced at the Human Emperor Sword at Wen Zhong's waist and said, "If Di Xin had changed, your Human Emperor Sword would have been recalled long ago."

Wen Zhong picked up the Human Emperor Sword, a sudden realization dawning on him.

"I'll go take a look."

After speaking, Gu Changqing went to the palace and met Di Xin.

Before his seclusion, Di Xin had been full of ambition, but now he looked weary.

"Teacher, you've come out of seclusion."

Seeing Gu Changqing, Di Xin felt a warmth in his heart.

Gu Changqing asked, "What troubles you so?"

Di Xin didn't answer, but instead asked, "Has Teacher also come to persuade Zi Shou?"

Gu Changqing smiled and said, "Bi Gan's apparent loyalty hides great treachery. Why shouldn't he be killed?"

Apparent loyalty hides great treachery?

Di Xin was slightly startled.

Gu Changqing continued, "Bi Gan assisted two generations of monarchs. Do you truly not know that the rumors among the common folk were deliberately spread by the Chan Sect? Da Ji is a disciple of Nüwa, yet he killed her fox descendants, damaging the Luck of Great Shang. The throne of Great Shang was not inherited by his brother; your throne was originally his."

"Bi Gan is a so-called loyal official, but in reality, he is a traitor to Shang."

A so-called loyal official, but in reality, a traitor to Shang?

Di Xin felt as if a light had been shed upon him, and the last shred of pity in his heart vanished completely.

"Only Teacher, Fei Lian, and E Lai truly understand me in this world."

Di Xin sighed inwardly, then added, "It's a pity about Grand Tutor, sigh."

Gu Changqing continued, "Wen Zhong is undeniably loyal. It's just that his perspective and understanding differ due to his different standing."

"Thank you, Teacher, for clarifying."

Di Xin's expression brightened somewhat. It was enough to have a teacher in this world who understood him!

What did it matter if he bore the world's condemnation for the eternal glory of the Human Race?

Gu Changqing then said, "When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility upon a person, it will first torment their heart and mind, and exhaust their body."

Di Xin bowed slightly and replied, "Zi Shou will keep your teachings in mind."

Gu Changqing then said, "Take me to the Ancestral Tomb."

"Yes."

Di Xin respectfully agreed. In this world, only Gu Changqing dared to tell him that he wanted to see his ancestral tomb.

The ancestral tomb was not only the mausoleum where ancestors were buried, but also the place where the Luck of Great Shang converged.

Five years later, the Luck of Great Shang had significantly dimmed. While Di Xin losing the people's support was one factor, a bigger reason might be that Di Xin's ancestral tomb had been disturbed.

If the root cause wasn't addressed, no matter how much effort was put in, the Luck would still be lost.

Once the Luck was completely gone, no matter how hard Di Xin tried, he would only end in failure.

"Great King, why are you here?"

Inside the mausoleum, a middle-aged beautiful woman saw Di Xin and her face lit up with joy.

"Queen, why don't you come and greet the Imperial Preceptor?" Di Xin said, bowing slightly towards Gu Changqing.

"Jiang Shi greets the Imperial Preceptor." Jiang Shi bowed slightly and added, "The Great King often speaks of the Imperial Preceptor, always saying that the Imperial Preceptor is virtuous, highly respected, and far-sighted. Seeing you today..."

"That's enough." Di Xin interrupted Jiang Shi's flattery and said, "The Imperial Preceptor doesn't need your praise. Keep your reverence in your heart."

"I..."

Jiang Shi opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything more.

Gu Changqing gave a wry smile, took out a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and a Limitless Creation Pill for Jiang Shi, and said, "You've worked hard, Queen. You can cultivate here for now."

Then he said to Di Xin, "Later, copy a set of the Primordial Creation True Scripture for the Queen."

"Yes!"

Di Xin's face brightened with joy. He said to Queen Jiang, with a tone of disappointment, "Why aren't you greeting Teacher yet?"

"I..."

"Disciple Jiang Shi greets Teacher."

Gu Changqing gave a wry smile and nodded, accepting her as a disciple.

Regardless of her talent and aptitude, at the very least, she possessed virtue and gentleness.

Since he had already accepted Di Xin, accepting Queen Jiang was not a problem.

"From now on, you will also be an inner disciple of mine, just like Di Xin. Your name shall be Jiang Si."

After speaking, he took out the Human Emperor Brush and gave it to Queen Jiang, saying, "This is the Human Emperor Brush. You must take good care of it."

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Rise." Gu Changqing glanced into the depths of the tomb and added, "Wait for me here."

With that, he headed deeper into the tomb. It wasn't surprising that Di Xin hadn't killed Jiang Si; what was strange was that Di Xin had placed Jiang Si here. Realizing that this place could obscure heavenly secrets, Gu Changqing felt a sense of relief.

Queen Jiang looked at the Human Emperor Brush in her hand, thought of Di Xin's current predicament, and handed it to him, saying, "This treasure should still be with the Great King."

"No need," Di Xin said with a smile. "This is for you from Teacher. Keep it. Whatever Teacher does, there must be a profound meaning behind it."

"But…"

"No 'buts,'" Di Xin said, then passed the Primordial Creation True Scripture to Queen Jiang. He continued, "Although it's desolate here, it's a good place for cultivation. Once I've dealt with the immortal sects, I'll come take you out. Bear with it for a while."

Meanwhile, Gu Changqing arrived at the place where Luck converged, only to see the Luck Golden Dragon looking listless.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Luck Golden Dragon was entangled by an Evil Flood Dragon. If his Creation Dao hadn't reached an extremely high level of comprehension, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"You fiend! How dare you devour Great Shang's Luck!"

"Ang!"

Seeing that it had been discovered, the Evil Flood Dragon roared and detached itself from the Luck Golden Dragon.

"It's you!"

The Evil Flood Dragon immediately showed fear upon seeing Gu Changqing.

That guy back then, with just one sword strike, had almost obliterated its soul.

A Merit Treasure, it couldn't afford to provoke it!

Swoosh!

The Evil Flood Dragon instinctively tried to flee, but Gu Changqing grabbed it from the air.

"You've devoured so much of Great Shang's Luck, and you still think you can escape?"

"Mercy, Immortal!"

The Evil Flood Dragon immediately knelt.

It had barely escaped with its life last time; this time, it was definitely done for!

So timid?

Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback. Had he seen this guy somewhere before?

"Have we met?"

The Evil Flood Dragon trembled at his words and said, "On… on the Eastern Sea…"

"So it was you. We truly are fated," Gu Changqing smiled knowingly. This guy could survive under the Merit Saint Sword; it seems his life is truly resilient!

"It's not impossible to spare your life."

"Thank you, Immortal."

"But I have a condition."

"Immortal, please command."

Gu Changqing chuckled, "Since you want to transform into a dragon so badly, I'll grant your wish."

"Thank you, Immortal."

"You shall become the dragon soul of the Luck Golden Dragon and coexist with Great Shang."

"Tha…"

The Evil Flood Dragon was stunned.

Didn't they say Great Shang's fate was nearing its end?

If it coexisted with Great Shang, what would be the point?

The Evil Flood Dragon's eyes darted around, wanting to run again.

Gu Changqing added, "Don't even think about running. With me here, you can't escape. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can snatch you back with a single thought."

"I…"

The Evil Flood Dragon was completely paralyzed. Remembering that guy's terrifying speed from before, it immediately gave up on the idea of fleeing.

Gu Changqing then said, "The Human King cannot be destroyed, and Great Shang cannot fall!"

With that, he directly tossed the Evil Flood Dragon into the Luck Golden Dragon, then used his supreme Power of Creation to merge them into one.

Boom!

Great Shang's Luck suddenly surged, and the previously sluggish Luck Golden Dragon gained sentience.

After completing all this, he then poured hundreds of millions of Merits into the Luck Golden Dragon.

"Wuhu—"

Under the nourishment of the immense Merits, the Evil Flood Dragon couldn't help but groan.

This feels amazing!

"Serve Di Xin well, and you'll be greatly rewarded in the future."

Gu Changqing turned and left after speaking.

The Luck Golden Dragon of Great Shang has manifested. The Luck of the Human Race has surged. Rewarding host with one hundred trillion Merits.

How much?

One hundred trillion?

Gu Changqing was stunned.

He didn't understand what Luck Manifestation meant, but those one hundred trillion Merits truly made his head spin.

This is going to kill me!

It's going to make me so happy I could die!

One hundred trillion Merits?

Has the system gone crazy?

"Luck Manifestation!"

At this moment, an exclamation of surprise came from deep within the Primordial Realm.

Then, a violent divine sense swept across the Three Thousand Worlds. When it swept over the Primordial World, it was subtly deflected by an invisible force.

The unknown powerful being did not detect Great Shang's Luck Golden Dragon.

Luck Manifestation signifies the birth of an Immortal Dynasty.

In the Primordial Realm and its three thousand subordinate worlds, there was only one Immortal Dynasty.

The Primordial Immortal Dynasty!
