Human Clan.

Chaoge.

Inside the simple and unadorned main hall.

Di Xin paced back and forth in the main hall.

After paying homage to Nuwa.

Di Xin had never felt so refreshed as he did today.

Even after traveling for more than a day.

Di Xin still felt no fatigue!

I feel like I've done something incredibly amazing!

However, after Di Xin's excitement subsided...

I also realized that my emotions seemed to be getting increasingly out of control.

"I was fine before we set off, but once I entered Nuwa Palace, I seemed to become irritable."

"His dark and lewd side was also exposed!!"

"The most serious problem is that it's out of control. It's not just that my emotions are uncontrollable; even I myself didn't know that I harbored such a violent temper!"

"Especially after seeing how luxurious the Nuwa Palace was!"

"My jealousy grew even stronger!"

Di Xin frowned slightly, his face showing confusion.

He couldn't understand why he felt this way.

That's mostly because he was dissatisfied with Nuwa's various actions!

However, Di Xin did not feel deeply about his previous actions.

Since it's already done...

Of course, I won't regret it!

As Di Xin thought this, he inadvertently released a domineering aura unique to Human Emperor.

Unfortunately, it lacks the protection of the Kongtong Seal.

His Human Emperor Qi was gradually dissipating, and his Human Emperor domineering presence was losing some of its majesty.

Di Xin was unaware of the change in his physical aura.

He lingered in the main hall for a moment.

He then sat down again in front of a bluestone slab.

He began reviewing memorials and bamboo slips submitted by officials at all levels.

In this era, the written language was still oracle bone script, which had extremely poor transmission efficiency.

The mediums through which messages are transmitted are also not uniform.

It was presented to Di Xin.

There were bamboo slips, gauze, and a jumble of scrolls, which annoyed Di Xin.

A surge of frustration welled up inside me.

However, Di Xin also knew that matters of state were not to be taken lightly.

He then casually picked up a bamboo slip, unfolded it, and took a look.

Approving memorials to the emperor was hard work.

In this era, there were no writing brushes, only writing implements.

They used bronze tools to create sharp, pointed shapes and then engraved them on the memorials.

After reviewing the revisions for a while, Di Xin's patience ran out!

Sometimes, a line is unintentionally drawn on a bamboo slip.

To avoid meaningless speculation by lower-level officials.

You also have to write a note next to it, "You crossed it out wrong, don't overthink it."

He was, after all, the ruler of the Shang Dynasty, and even his casual actions would be subject to unscrupulous speculation from others.

After all that effort, Di Xin ended up making himself incredibly frustrated.

He was panting heavily, his patience almost completely worn off.

What exactly happened today?

Why can't I Pingxin?

Di Xin was also puzzled by his emotional fluctuations.

He took a deep breath, but the stale air inside his body remained unresolved.

"Ah, perhaps it's time to have a chat with Consort Huang."

Di Xin put down his pen and was about to stand up and head to the inner palace.

Suddenly.

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

It emitted a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

Di Xin was startled and looked around suspiciously. "Hmm? What was that sound?"

He muttered to himself.

The shrieking sound grew louder and louder!

Finally, it exploded right above his head!

Di Xin immediately realized what was happening, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked up.

Then they saw a golden scroll.

It plummeted down from above his head in his direction!

What is that!?

Di Xin's expression suddenly changed drastically.

They quickly tried to dodge.

It can land at a very high speed.

By the time he saw the scroll, it was too late to hide.

Snap!

A muffled groan echoed from above Di Xin's forehead.

The golden scroll appeared just before Di Xin could raise his hand to defend himself.

With a 'thud,' it landed heavily on his forehead!

Snap!

The golden scroll fell to the ground.

Di Xin was also hit on the head by this blow.

He immediately covered his forehead, tears streaming down his face from the pain!

If it weren't for the protection of the Human Emperor Qi...

That would knock him unconscious instantly!

"Who threw this?!"

"How dare they throw something at the main hall of Chaoge?! Don't they have a death wish?!"

Di Xin was so enraged that his eyes widened in fury, and he cursed loudly!

"I want to see who dares to be so bold!"

Di Xin looked down.

The raging flames in Di Xin's eyes suddenly froze, and a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

"??"

What is this?

"I have never seen a scroll that can emit such golden light before!"

"The font is quite unique, flowing smoothly and elegantly!"

Di Xin looked down at the golden scroll, his brows furrowing slightly, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"None of the ministers and officials around here should have this kind of glowing scroll, right?"

"It looks extraordinary, almost like something from the immortals."

After a moment's thought, Di Xin simply bent down and picked up the Great Dao Diary Scroll.

The scroll felt smooth and warm to the touch, indicating it wasn't made of ordinary bamboo.

It feels like some kind of rare metal.

Upon touching, a warm, gentle power condensed in Di Xin's palm.

It then penetrated Di Xin's body and soul.

In an instant.

My previously agitated state of mind was as if it had been irritated by a warm and gentle breeze.

The sullenness and resentment gradually dissipated.

My mind began to calm down.

Within his body, there seemed to be a mysterious divine thought, controlled and sealed by the power on the bamboo slip.

However, Di Xin was unaware of this.

Although he possessed the title of Human Emperor, he did not have the Kongtong Seal, therefore, he had no cultivation.

Holding the bamboo slips, he felt only comfort and complete relaxation.

My mind began to calm down.

"These bamboo slips actually have a calming effect?"

"It doesn't seem like an ordinary object."

"But how did these bamboo slips suddenly appear in my palace?"

"And he even smashed my head so hard it hurts!"

"Logically speaking, ordinary officials wouldn't dare to pull such a prank."

"Since it's a bamboo slip, it must contain some information. Let's see whose handwriting it is."

Di Xin frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Holding the bamboo slips, they arrived at the stone platform.

He took a deep breath and placed the bamboo slip, which was shimmering with a golden light, on the table in front of him.

Then, give it a gentle push.

The Great Dao Diary Scroll was slowly unfurled from the inside out.

Lines of black Dao characters on the scroll were also revealed before Di Xin.

When Di Xin saw the Dao character above, which was written with a powerful and vigorous style, he was deeply moved.

I couldn't help but be startled.

"Oh?"

"The calligraphy is winding and powerful, vivid and imposing, and it is painted with paint, making it flexible, flowing, and forceful."

"It's like dragons and snakes dancing! It's quite graceful and full of Daoist charm!"

"I wonder what kind of tool was used to write this."

"The writing it produces is worlds apart from the writing tools commonly used by ordinary people in the Great Shang!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I truly couldn't have imagined that such elegant handwriting existed in this world."

A look of admiration flashed in Di Xin's eyes.

The creature capable of creating such a font could certainly not be from Great Shang!

It must be some kind of immortal being who possesses such extraordinary abilities?

Even Di Xin couldn't understand why such a scroll would suddenly appear in Chaoge.

Why did it hit him directly on the head?

Even now, Di Xin's forehead still aches slightly.

"I wonder what this thing is?"

"But I can't understand the font on this."

"Grand Tutor Wen sent me a message yesterday, saying that he has returned from the sacred land of the Interception Sect and will arrive in Chaoge soon."

"Grand Tutor Wen possesses magical powers; surely he can understand it?"

This is what Di Xin was thinking.

He then decided to put the scroll away first.

But at that very moment...

An anomaly has occurred.

A flash of golden light suddenly appeared on the scroll.

The next moment.

The golden light condensed into a stream-like flow.

It tore through space and darted directly into Di Xin's brow.

"What's going on!?"

Di Xin felt a heat between his brows.

It was as if a law of power exploded within Di Xin's sea of consciousness.

This led to the development of countless messages.

Di Xin understood the writing on the bamboo slips in an instant.

Upon hearing this, Di Xin's eyes widened, a look of astonishment flashing across them!

"What a mysterious feeling! It's as if I can directly understand the words on it!"

"With such miraculous effects, it's certain that this scroll is the work of an immortal!"

"This is absolutely beyond the control of ordinary people!"

Di Xin murmured to himself.

His gaze then fell upon the scroll.

Di Xin understood all the messages conveyed by the Dao characters written on it, which were in a flowing, dragon-and-phoenix-like style.

When he saw the words described on it.

His eyes widened instantly.

A look of horror suddenly burst forth from his eyes!

"This is the Great Dao Diary? The Great Dao!?!"

"..."

"Um!?!?"

"Will I die?"

"The Great Shang was destroyed?"

"How is that possible!"
