Watching countless members of the East Sea Dragon Clan being executed on the spot, his heart was filled with nothing but fear and sorrow.
With so many clansmen dead, the East Sea Dragon Clan was severely weakened, and it was unknown when they would recover their vitality.
If they were not careful, the East Sea Dragon Clan could weaken further, or even be annihilated; it was not impossible.
At this moment, he naturally dared not offend the Human Clan; no matter how much hatred he felt, he could only endure it.
"The Human Clan and the Dragon Clan should advance hand in hand. Today, You will give the Dragon Clan a chance to restore its former glory!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of countless beings converged on King Zhou.
Chapter 113: Expanding Territory, Incorporating the Four Seas!
The execution of countless members of the East Sea Dragon Clan, with the bloody scene right before their eyes, sent shivers down the spines of countless beings.
Everyone could feel King Zhou's domineering presence and his decisive nature, filling their hearts with immense dread.
Yet, no one had expected King Zhou to utter such words after severely punishing the East Sea Dragon Clan.
Giving the East Sea Dragon Clan a chance to restore its glory? This sounded like a joke!
After all, if King Zhou were truly so benevolent, he would not have punished the East Sea Dragon Clan so harshly this time.
Now, after killing so many members of the East Sea Dragon Clan and severely weakening them, he would give them a chance to restore their glory?
How would he do that? With so many clansmen dead, it would take an unknown amount of time for the East Sea Dragon Clan to recover its vitality.
Furthermore, even if he truly intended to give the East Sea Dragon Clan a chance, how could such a confidential matter be revealed to the public?
"Thank You, Human Emperor. My East Sea Dragon Clan no longer dares to ask for too much!" the East Sea Dragon King said in a deep voice.
Watching so many members of the East Sea Dragon Clan being killed, his heart bled, and his mood was extremely heavy.
He naturally harbored immense hatred for King Zhou, but being inferior in skill, he could only choose to let go of the animosity.
After all, their East Sea Dragon Clan still needed to survive, so they naturally could not offend the domineering King Zhou.
As for King Zhou's words, he had heard them once before when he was in the East Sea.
At that time, he had some expectations, even believing it might be an opportunity for the Dragon Clan.
But upon arriving in Chaoge and witnessing so many members of the East Sea Dragon Clan being executed, he had lost all hope.
In fact, in his opinion, this might be a test from King Zhou, whose purpose was to see if their East Sea Dragon Clan posed any threat.
He no longer dared to ask for too much, only wishing that King Zhou would spare the East Sea Dragon Clan, for which he would be eternally grateful.
"The biggest problem for the East Sea Dragon Clan is the boundless Karma they bear. You can help You resolve it!" King Zhou said.
The East Sea Dragon Clan had indeed persecuted the Human Clan, but after paying a bloody price, the animosity between the two sides had dissipated.
Without animosity, the Human Clan and the Dragon Clan could cooperate well, which would be mutually beneficial.
The sea embraces all rivers, thus it is vast! He had long understood that the Human Clan should possess the spirit of devouring the universe, only then could they create a glorious era.
Now, using the East Sea Dragon Clan as an opportunity, his authority had been established, and the beings of the world now knew the Human Clan's might and rules.
From now on, it was unlikely that any being would dare to wantonly kill members of the Human Clan, but this alone was not enough.
After establishing his authority, he also needed to establish virtue, demonstrating the Human Clan's embracing attitude!
It was the same for the Dragon Clan; he had already planned to hit them with a stick before offering a carrot!
After all, constantly instilling fear in other beings was not a sustainable method and would only make the Human Clan a target of public resentment.
Only by embracing all, allowing other beings to both fear the Human Clan and also cooperate with them, could the Human Clan's position be secured, and they could also absorb other beings for their own use, thereby allowing the Human Clan to develop rapidly.
"Is Your Majesty truly serious? This is not something that can be achieved by mere words!" The East Sea Dragon King suddenly became incredibly agitated.
He had initially held no hope for the opportunity King Zhou spoke of, but now he had heard such news.
For the Four Seas Dragon Clan, the boundless Karma they bore was like a giant boulder pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Throughout the long years since ancient times, the Four Seas Dragon Clan had tried every possible method, but they had always been unable to solve this problem.
Now, King Zhou actually said he would help the Four Seas Dragon Clan resolve the boundless Karma they bore?
He dared not believe it, yet he dared not disbelieve it, looking at King Zhou with both anticipation and uncertainty.
Not just the East Sea Dragon King, upon hearing these words, all members of the East Sea Dragon Clan became incredibly agitated, focusing their gaze on King Zhou.
"This matter is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven for your Dragon Clan, but You are the Human Emperor, so what is so difficult about this?" King Zhou said.
This was the opportunity he wanted to give the East Sea Dragon Clan; for the Dragon Clan, this was an irresistible temptation.
As long as they could resolve the Karma they bore, the Dragon Clan would no longer have to bear heavy pressure, and the Dragon Clan's situation could truly improve.
At that time, not to mention restoring the glory of dominating the world in ancient times, the Dragon Clan's strength gradually increasing would not be a difficult matter.
"Is Your Majesty truly serious?" The East Sea Dragon King pondered for a moment, then suddenly said with renewed vigor.
During the era of Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, their Dragon Clan had sent experts to assist the Human Clan.
That time, their Dragon Clan had gained a lot, even alleviating the current situation of the Four Seas Dragon Clan as a result.
The reason was actually very simple: the Human Clan was now the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, and if one wanted to gain merit, the Human Clan was the best target.
What's more, King Zhou was extraordinary; in a short period, he had brought about such significant changes to the Human Clan.
The Human Clan's destiny now was as prosperous as, if not exceeding, that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era.
More crucially, it was King Zhou himself; which of this Human Emperor's actions was not earth-shattering?
If the Human Emperor personally intervened to help the Dragon Clan resolve the boundless Karma they bore, was it possible to succeed?
Even if King Zhou could not succeed, given King Zhou's relationship with the Jie Cult, could he invite a Saint to personally intervene?
Saints are omnipotent, and resolving the boundless Karma weighing on their Dragon Clan would be effortless, wouldn't it?
Thinking of this, how could the East Sea Dragon King not be excited?
If he had known this earlier, let alone merely executing some members of the East Sea Dragon Clan, he would not have uttered a single word of dissent even if half of the East Sea Dragon Clan were killed.
No choice! Compared to the Karma that had plagued the Dragon Clan for countless years, losing some clansmen was truly nothing.
"Hmph! King Zhou is truly boastful. Although he is the Human Emperor, how can it be so simple to resolve the Karma on the Dragon Clan?"
The Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals also heard these words, and Guang Chengzi immediately scoffed at King Zhou's statement.
Compared to others, as Disciples of the Chan Cult, they were more aware of how serious the Dragon Clan's problem was.
That was boundless Karma descended by the Heavenly Dao; even a Saint would find it immensely troublesome.
King Zhou thought that as the Human Emperor, he could truly be omnipotent and help the Dragon Clan resolve the Karma they had borne for countless years?
In his opinion, this was nothing but a joke, and he wanted to see how King Zhou would lose face when he failed to fulfill his promise.
"If King Zhou truly accomplishes this, then things will be troublesome!" Yun Zhongzi said with a worried expression.
His view was similar to Guang Chengzi's; he believed that resolving the Dragon Clan's Karma was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But that was King Zhou; every single thing he had done previously seemed incredible, every single thing was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
In the past, King Zhou had succeeded; this time, could King Zhou not continue to succeed?
If King Zhou truly succeeded, thinking of the impact this would bring, he could not help but worry.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible. Let's just quietly watch King Zhou make a fool of himself!" Guang Chengzi said disdainfully.
He didn't take this matter to heart at all; in his opinion, even if a Saint intervened, it would be very difficult to succeed, let alone King Zhou.
In this short period, King Zhou had caused the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals to suffer setbacks multiple times, and he already harbored extreme hatred for King Zhou in his heart.
Having finally waited until today, and being able to witness King Zhou's embarrassment soon, how could he miss it?
"King Zhou actually wants to help the East Sea Dragon Clan resolve the Karma they bear? How dare he?" Zhao Gongming said with a look of surprise.
Although he didn't know much about the East Sea Dragon Clan's situation, he knew how troublesome Karma was.
If it were an ordinary being, after being entangled by Karma, they would likely find it difficult to survive; only by performing many good deeds could they offset the Karma.
However, the Karma on the East Sea Dragon Clan was truly terrifying; it couldn't be offset by merely doing some good deeds and gaining some merit.
Moreover, what he didn't understand was why King Zhou, who could clearly ignore this matter, would go to such lengths?
Even if King Zhou could truly achieve it, what kind of price would he have to pay? Was it really worth it?
"King Zhou's action is truly incredible, beyond what ordinary people can achieve!" Our Lady of the Cloud Canopy exclaimed with emotion.
She had already realized King Zhou's objective in doing this, which allowed her to understand just how terrifying King Zhou's methods were.
Establishing authority with the East Sea Dragon Clan had already been done very well, sufficiently proving King Zhou's capability.
Now, he was also going to bestow favor upon the East Sea Dragon Clan, which further elevated her evaluation of King Zhou.
As for whether King Zhou could actually accomplish this, she had no worries whatsoever.
Although their time together was not long, based on her understanding of King Zhou, this Human Emperor always planned thoroughly before acting.
If he wasn't confident, why would King Zhou say such a thing? Wasn't he afraid of becoming a laughingstock?
"You are the Human Emperor, and Your word is as good as the nine cauldrons; how can there be any joking involved!" King Zhou said with a smile.
Looking at the incredibly agitated East Sea Dragon King, he could understand the other party's current feelings and the Dragon Clan's yearning
It was precisely because of this that he could firmly control the Dragon Clans, not fearing that the East Sea Dragon Clan would reject his conditions.
After all, compared to survival, things like dignity and face are ultimately expendable.
"What exactly do You want us to do, Human Emperor? Please speak frankly. My East Sea Dragon Clan will definitely cooperate fully!" The East Sea Dragon King quickly said.
He couldn't help but be so excited; this was something the Dragon Clans had craved for hundreds of millions of years, yet it remained beyond their reach.
As long as he could eliminate the Karma he bore, he could actually agree to any condition.
Moreover, he indeed saw hope in King Zhou, and even if it was just a glimmer of hope, it was enough for their Dragon Clans to give their all.
"This matter is actually not complicated. If the Dragon Clans are willing to join the Human Clan and become the Human Clan Luck totem, they can be protected by Human Clan Luck..."
Why did the East Sea Dragon King feel hopeful after hearing his words? Was it not because the Human Clan Luck was currently flourishing?
It was like the Jie Cult; it appeared to have myriad immortals coming to court, incredibly powerful, but the Jie Cult's crisis was actually not small.
It had neither a supreme treasure to suppress its Luck, nor were its Jie Cult disciples of uniform quality; these were all reasons for the Jie Cult's demise.
However, precisely because the Jie Cult's Luck was connected to the Great Shang, as long as the Great Shang prospered, the Jie Cult would not be in danger of perishing.
If it could even suppress the Jie Cult's Luck, with the flourishing Human Clan Luck of today, what difficulty would there be in helping the Dragon Clans suppress their Karma?
What's more, according to his idea, if the Dragon Clans could become the Human Clan's Luck totem, the Human Clan Luck would definitely increase again.
The stronger the Human Clan Luck, the more stable the Dragon Clans would be once they became part of the Human Clan and enjoyed the Human Clan Luck.
"Damn it! King Zhou actually wants to subdue the Dragon Clans; this is to incorporate the Four Seas into the Great Shang's territory!"
In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor Haotian was also observing King Zhou's every move, and initially, he was full of disdain.
As the Jade Emperor, wielding the authority of the Heavenly Dao, he dared not say he could definitely help the Dragon Clans resolve the Karma they bore.
A mere King Zhou actually boasted about helping the Dragon Clans resolve their Karma; he was simply overestimating himself.
However, when King Zhou spoke those words just now, he could no longer remain calm.
Leaving aside whether King Zhou could succeed, from those words just now, it was actually not difficult to discern King Zhou's intentions.
To make the Dragon Clans the Human Clan Luck totem? Isn't this just to subdue the Four Seas Dragon Clan?
At that time, if the Four Seas Dragon Clan submitted to the Human Clan, it would immediately cause the Human Clan's strength to skyrocket.
More crucially, if the Four Seas Dragon Clan submitted to the Human Clan, wouldn't the Four Seas become the Human Clan's territory?
Not only would the Human Clan's strength skyrocket, but the Human Clan would also expand its territory. To what extent would the Human Clan Luck increase?
Having experienced the battle five years ago, he had long regarded the Human Clan and King Zhou as his formidable enemies.
Now, watching his formidable enemies grow stronger and stronger naturally made him extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, he himself had some ideas about the Four Seas Dragon Clan, but because of King Zhou, he never had the chance to act.
He never expected it! The Four Seas Dragon Clan, which he considered to be within his grasp, had now been seized by King Zhou.
It wasn't just the Jade Emperor Haotian who was shocked; upon hearing King Zhou's words just now, countless people were dumbfounded.
Many people could see how beneficial this matter would be for the Human Clan if it could truly come to fruition.
For those beings who were enemies of the Great Shang, this naturally made them extremely uncomfortable.
"Good! My East Sea Dragon Clan will trust the Human Emperor this once; please fulfill this, Human Emperor!" The East Sea Dragon King said firmly.
In a short time, he had undergone an internal struggle, clearly analyzing the pros and cons of the matter.
He naturally knew King Zhou's objective, but this move was indeed an opportunity for the East Sea Dragon Clan.
Anyway, it wasn't about making their East Sea Dragon Clan work like beasts of burden, but about becoming the Human Clan Luck totem.
Moreover, even if they really had to work like beasts of burden, so what? Could their East Sea Dragon Clan refuse?
Compared to resolving the Karma they had borne for countless years, such a condition was nothing at all.
Moreover, if it truly succeeded, for the East Sea Dragon Clan, it would be entirely beneficial with no harm.
After all, this was the Human Clan! If they could enjoy the Human Clan Luck, would the East Sea Dragon Clan still have worries in the future?
It's no exaggeration to say that this was something countless beings prayed for but could not obtain, and now the opportunity was right in front of their East Sea Dragon Clan.
Such windfalls are rare; facing such temptation, how could they refuse?
Since they couldn't refuse, they might as well cast aside all worries and take a gamble with King Zhou.
"Good! The Dragon Clans will never regret today's choice!" King Zhou said confidently.
Chapter 114: Merit Descends from Heaven, the Merit Treasure wan long flag Appears!
"You, as the Human Emperor, officially declare to the world: from today onward, the East Sea Dragon Clan shall be incorporated into the Human Clan, serving as the Human Clan Luck totem!
From now on, the Human Clan and the East Sea Dragon Clan shall be united as one. As long as the Human Clan endures, the East Sea Dragon Clan shall forever enjoy the Human Clan Luck!"
The vast voice shook heaven and earth; no matter where they were or what kind of being they were, everyone heard this vast voice at this moment.
This was the Human Emperor proclaiming to heaven and earth, representing the will of the Human Clan; whether You wanted to listen or not, You had to.
And with such an act of proclamation to heaven and earth, the matter of the East Sea Dragon Clan joining the Human Clan and becoming a part of the Human Clan was already set in stone.
Of course, if the East Sea Dragon Clan objected, this matter would naturally be invalid, and the Human Emperor would lose face as a result.
But at this moment, would the East Sea Dragon Clan disagree?
Not to mention they didn't have the guts, because if they dared to say "no," the enraged Human Emperor could absolutely wipe out the East Sea Dragon Clan.
What's more, for the East Sea Dragon Clan, this was something they couldn't even beg for, so how could they disagree?
This was the Human Clan! This was forever enjoying the Human Clan Luck!
Among the Sages, why does Nüwa hold such a transcendent position, never interfering in major affairs of heaven and earth, yet no one dares to underestimate this Sage?
Is it not because Nüwa is the Human Clan's Holy Mother, naturally enjoying Human Clan Luck, and can win by doing nothing?
Now, the East Sea Dragon Clan could also enjoy Human Clan Luck; as long as the Human Clan Luck flourished, the East Sea Dragon Clan was destined to be free from disaster forever.
More importantly, with Human Clan Luck suppressing it, would the boundless Karma they bore still be an issue?
Human Clan Luck indeed cannot cancel out Karma, but with Luck protecting them, Karma could no longer affect the East Sea Dragon Clan in the slightest.
Even when suppressing the Sea Eye, with Human Clan Luck protecting them, the East Sea Dragon Clan could significantly reduce casualties.
All in all, after the East Sea Dragon Clan became the Human Clan Luck totem, there were a hundred benefits and no harm; it could be said to be a great windfall.
"King Zhou would actually act like this? The Dragon Clans become totems, and the East Sea is incorporated into the Great Shang's territory?"
Guang Chengzi was dumbfounded, his face already turning purplish-red, which showed how he felt at the moment.
Just now, he didn't believe King Zhou could help the East Sea Dragon Clan eliminate Karma, repeatedly saying he wanted to see King Zhou make a fool of himself.
Now, King Zhou indeed did not help the East Sea Dragon Clan eliminate Karma, but he did something so earth-shattering.
How could he not know what kind of impact there would be after the East Sea Dragon Clan submitted to the Human Clan?
The Great Shang's territory expanded, the Human Clan's strength grew stronger, its Luck became more flourishing, and King Zhou became even more difficult to deal with.
King Zhou didn't become a joke; instead, he became the joke. How was he any different from a clown?
"I'm afraid it's not just the East Sea Dragon Clan; the Four Seas Dragon Clan will probably all be taken in by King Zhou!" Yun Zhongzi sighed and said.
Just as he thought, King Zhou indeed acted after careful deliberation, and every time he acted, it was so earth-shattering.
With this scene today, when the Dragon Clans of the other three seas see it, won't they be tempted?
To be able to become a member of the Human Clan and also enjoy Human Clan Luck, it's unlikely any being would refuse.
Even if it were their Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, if they could enjoy Human Clan Luck, they would probably wake up laughing from their dreams.
In other words, it wouldn't take long for the Dragon Clans of the other three seas to also join the Human Clan and become the Human Clan Luck totem.
By that time, the Four Seas Dragon Clan would become a part of the Human Clan, thereby greatly increasing the Human Clan's strength.
The Four Seas becoming the territory of the Great Shang, and the Human Clan Luck increasing again, was already a foregone conclusion.
Just as they saw King Zhou's fate nearing its end and finally saw hope, they didn't expect King Zhou to pull off another stunt like this.
Undoubtedly, King Zhou became even more difficult to deal with, and if they wanted the Investiture of the Gods to proceed smoothly, they would probably have to plan for the long term.
"King Zhou is damned! Without a sound, he actually managed to get his hands on the Four Seas Dragon Clan!" Sage Zhunti said angrily.
The Human Clan's affairs were originally none of their business; no matter what happened between the Human Clan and King Zhou, it was the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court who were anxious.
But the Four Seas Dragon Clan was different; long ago, their Western Religion had ideas about the Four Seas Dragon Clan.
After years of planning, this matter had already shown some results, and it was estimated that the time for harvest was approaching.
If the Four Seas Dragon Clan could join the Western Religion, their Western Religion would immediately gain greatly in strength, taking another step closer to its great revival.
Who would have thought that King Zhou would suddenly appear at this time, and furthermore, he didn't give their Western Religion any time to react?
With the Four Seas Dragon Clan becoming a part of the Human Clan and transforming into a Luck totem, where would their Western Religion have the opportunity to scheme for the Four Seas Dragon Clan?
"Junior Brother need not worry; no matter what happens now, when the Investiture of the Gods begins, everything will be a thing of the past!" Sage Jieyin said calmly.
He, too, was increasingly wary of King Zhou, and even saw a great threat in him.
But as the saying goes, it wasn't their Western Religion that should be anxious, but rather the Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court.
In that Investiture of the Gods, they only needed to watch quietly to reap the benefits. Why should they be anxious now?
After all, no matter how the situation developed, it wouldn't greatly affect their Western Religion; instead, it was an opportunity for them.
"Senior Brother is right to teach me; I was too fixated. King Zhou, at most, only has a hundred years!" Saint Zhunti said.
He slowly calmed down. King Zhou had indeed brought him immense pressure, making him see the risk of the plan spiraling out of control.
But ultimately, no matter how incredible King Zhou was, his identity was still that of the Human Emperor of the current Human Clan.
Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Human Emperors have not been able to achieve longevity. This has nothing to do with cultivation, but is a rule set by the Heavenly Dao.
There was still some time before their Western Religion's great prosperity, and by the time they were ready, King Zhou would already be a pile of withered bones.
King Zhou was destined not to become their Western Religion's opponent, and everything happening now would not have a significant impact.
On the contrary, facing such a King Zhou, both Chan Cult and the Heavenly Court would likely suffer heavy losses, and this was their Western Religion's opportunity.
"King Zhou's methods are indeed extraordinary! After this battle, the Human Clan will surely become even more glorious!" Zhao Gongming said.
At this point, he was utterly dumbfounded. He had never imagined that a mere East Sea Dragon Clan could pull off so many tricks.
If he were the Human Emperor, after teaching the East Sea Dragon Clan a lesson, the matter would be over; there would be no need for all these subsequent events.
But King Zhou actually used the East Sea Dragon Clan to do so many things and gained so many benefits.
At this moment, regarding King Zhou, he had nothing left to say except admiration.
"Master is right; for our Jie Cult to survive the great tribulation, we must cooperate fully with King Zhou!" Our Lady of the Cloud Canopy said.
She was a meticulous person, and when King Zhou announced the public trial of the East Sea Dragon Clan, she had already seen some things.
But she had never expected King Zhou's methods to be so superb, effortlessly increasing the Human Clan's strength and making their Luck even more prosperous.
Originally, she was still somewhat puzzled as to why her Master held King Zhou in such high regard.
Now she understood. For such a King Zhou, no matter how much her Master valued him, it was not excessive.
And with the methods King Zhou displayed this time, how difficult would it be for him to help their Jie Cult survive the great tribulation?
"Thank you, Human Emperor. From now on, our East Sea Dragon Clan will belong to the Human Clan and will never have any disloyal intentions!" The East Sea Dragon Clan said with immense excitement.
As King Zhou announced to the heavens and earth, the East Sea Dragon Clan had already become the Human Clan's Luck Totem, and all members of the East Sea Dragon Clan could feel the changes within themselves.
For countless years, their East Sea Dragon Clan had been constantly affected by Karma, like carrying a huge boulder on their backs.
But at this moment, all members of the East Sea Dragon Clan felt a lightness in their bodies, and Karma no longer had a significant impact on them.
This feeling of ease was something every member of the East Sea Dragon Clan had never experienced, so it was no wonder they were so excited.
Only at this point did all members of the East Sea Dragon Clan truly let go of their unease, and their gazes towards King Zhou were filled with gratitude.
They knew very well that all of this was due to King Zhou; it was King Zhou who gave their East Sea Dragon Clan a chance at new life.
If, before this, there were still members of the East Sea Dragon Clan who harbored some resentment about submitting to the Human Clan.
Then, at this very moment, all resentment had vanished, and they felt nothing but gratitude.
Moreover, they had sincerely wanted to become the Human Clan's Luck Totem because they could not give up everything they now possessed.
Just then, the heavens and earth shook, and a rift suddenly opened above the Nine Heavens, with seven-colored light appearing.
Such a magnificent sight immediately attracted the attention of countless beings, and upon seeing the seven-colored light, countless beings were all dumbfounded.
"Merit? This is merit! Why would the Heavenly Dao bestow merit at this time? Is it because the East Sea Dragon Clan became the Human Clan's Luck Totem?"
"Such immense merit is extremely rare throughout history. To whom will the Heavenly Dao bestow this merit?"
"Since ancient times, merit has been extremely rare. The last time such immense merit was seen was during the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"
...
Many beings did not know what the anomaly above the Nine Heavens meant, but some powerful cultivators who had cultivated for a long time could tell at a glance that it was merit.
The Heavenly Dao bestowing merit has happened since ancient times, but it is very rare, so ordinary beings do not know about it.
If they were powerful cultivators who had cultivated for a long time, such as the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, they had personally witnessed the Heavenly Dao bestowing merit.
Before the six Saints achieved Dao, because they each established their own religions and made great contributions to the heavens and earth, the Heavenly Dao had bestowed boundless merit.
When Nüwa created humans and when she refined stones to mend the heavens, the Heavenly Dao had also bestowed boundless merit.
The most recent time was when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors achieved perfect merit, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed boundless merit.
After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it was not that the Heavenly Dao did not bestow merit, but those merits were negligible.
And at this moment, the merit descending from above the Nine Heavens could be said to be immeasurably vast, even comparable to the merit bestowed when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors achieved perfect merit.
Every time the Heavenly Dao bestows such immense merit, it is always an earth-shattering event, destined for something to happen that will be remembered for thousands of years.
And this time, why would the Heavenly Dao bestow such immense merit?
All beings simultaneously thought of King Zhou and of the East Sea Dragon Clan becoming the Human Clan's Luck Totem.
After all, if something earth-shattering had just happened, it was only this one event.
Could it be that King Zhou making the East Sea Dragon Clan the Human Clan's Luck Totem was an act of great merit to the heavens and earth?
Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao bestow such immense merit?
For many beings, this was something they could not understand or accept.
For example, the Chan Cult Twelve Golden Immortals, at this moment, were utterly enraged, their hearts consumed by jealousy.
Why? Why could King Zhou obtain such immense merit?
Saint Zhunti was not much better off. Although he was a Saint, his desire for merit had become an obsession.
After all, when he achieved Dao and became a Saint, he made a great vow, which was equivalent to owing boundless merit to the Heavenly Dao.
Only when Western Religion prospered and gathered boundless merit could he repay the Karma between him and the Heavenly Dao.
He regretted it! If he had acted earlier and brought the Dragon Clan under Western Religion, wouldn't this immense merit have been his?
If such immense merit could be obtained by him, wouldn't he be able to repay the Karma he owed to the Heavenly Dao?
Amidst the shocked, envious, and jealous gazes of countless beings, immense merit descended from above the Nine Heavens.
This merit first fell upon the heads of the East Sea Dragon Clan, enveloping every member of the East Sea Dragon Clan in seven-colored light.
About half of the merit came towards King Zhou, but it did not enter his body; instead, it appeared before him.
King Zhou had a sudden realization and reached out to grasp the merit. The next moment, an item fell into his hand.
"wan long flag, formed from boundless merit, a supreme treasure of merit, with infinite wondrous uses, capable of controlling the Dragon Clan..."
Suddenly, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind, letting him know what the item in his hand was.
After a moment, he opened his eyes. In his hand was a flag about three inches long.
On the flag's surface was a majestic giant dragon, exactly like the Ancestral Dragon he had seen in the Ten Thousand Dragons Grand Formation.
Upon closer inspection, that giant dragon seemed to transform into countless giant dragons, soaring above the Nine Heavens.
This time, the East Sea Dragon Clan's submission to the Human Clan and their transformation into the Human Clan's Luck Totem was indeed an act of great merit to the heavens and earth.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao bestowed boundless merit, with the Human Clan and the East Sea Dragon Clan each receiving half.
The half of the merit obtained by the Human Clan transformed into the wan long flag in his hand, which was a supreme treasure of merit.
Supreme treasures of merit are rarely found in the world and have infinite wondrous uses, and the wan long flag in his hand was no exception.
This treasure possessed the power of myriad dragons. With a gentle wave, it could summon myriad dragons, and even manifest the Ancestral Dragon.
But the greatest function of this treasure was not how powerful it was, but that it could command the East Sea Dragon Clan.
Once the wan long flag was waved, the East Sea Dragon Clan would receive the summons and would be compelled to obey the wan long flag's command.
This was actually similar to Nüwa's Monster Summoning Banner, which, with a gentle wave, could also command any monster clan.
"My Karma is gone?"
Just then, a surprised voice rang out, followed by a chorus of cheers.
The Heavenly Dao bestowed boundless merit, and half of it fell upon the heads of the East Sea Dragon Clan, eliminating the Karma on their bodies.
Merit offsetting Karma was a normal occurrence, but countless members of the East Sea Dragon Clan still could not imagine that this was true.
For countless years, the East Sea Dragon Clan's most cherished desire had finally come true today.
"Reporting to the Human Emperor, our South Sea Dragon Clan is willing to become the Human Clan's Luck Totem!"
Chapter 115: Luck Transformation, Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun!
"Reporting to the Human Emperor, our South Sea Dragon Clan is willing to become the Human Clan's Luck Totem!"
"Reporting to the Human Emperor, our West Sea Dragon Clan is willing to become the Human Clan's Luck Totem!"
"Reporting to the Human Emperor, our North Sea Dragon Clan is willing to become the Human Clan's Luck Totem!"
Seeing the East Sea Dragon Clan become the Human Clan's Totem, enjoying the Human Clan's Luck, and with boundless merit descending from the heavens, the other Three Seas Dragon Kings could no longer sit still.
This time, King Zhou's public trial of the East Sea Dragon Clan attracted the attention of countless beings, naturally including the other Three Seas Dragon Clans.
Among the Four Seas Dragon Clan, the East Sea Dragon Clan was the strongest, yet they were treated so by King Zhou, so how could the other Three Seas Dragon Clans not be afraid?
They not only paid close attention to this matter but also personally came to Chaoge, just to see how King Zhou would deal with the East Sea Dragon Clan.
When they saw countless members of the East Sea Dragon Clan being executed on the spot, these Three Seas Dragon Clans were naturally panic-stricken and extremely terrified
After all, the things the East Sea Dragon Clan had done, the other Three Seas Dragon Clans had also done.
How could King Zhou possibly let them go after punishing the East Sea Dragon Clan and beheading countless East Sea Dragon Clan members?
It was the East Sea Dragon Clan now, and it would be their turn next. How should they face King Zhou?
Should they surrender obediently like the East Sea Dragon Clan, allowing King Zhou to deal with them as he pleased? Or should they rise up in resistance?
But what happened next greatly exceeded the Three Seas Dragon Clans' expectations, shocking them speechless.
King Zhou surprisingly did not press too hard; he even allowed the East Sea Dragon Clan to become the Human Clan's qi Luck totem.
To be able to enjoy Human Clan Luck, not only was the East Sea Dragon Clan willing, but they were also a thousand times willing!
Just as they were pondering how to become the Human Clan's qi Luck totem, the Heavenly Dao bestowed boundless Karma.
At this point, the Three Seas Dragon Clans could no longer sit still, as that was boundless Karma!
Look at the East Sea Dragon Clan: with boundless Karmabestowed upon them, their Karma had completely vanished, and from then on, they could enjoy Human Clan Luck.
What kind of divine treatment was this?
They absolutely had to become the Human Clan's qi Luck totem; the Three Seas Dragon Clans didn't want to wait even a second longer.
Therefore, the Three Seas Dragon Kings impatiently stepped forward, completely disregarding their own dignity, and solemnly pledged to become the Human Clan's qi Luck totem.
Before this incident even occurred, many people had actually guessed this outcome, they just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
With the ability to enjoy Human Clan Luck and the boundless Karmabestowed by the Heavenly Dao, who wouldn't be envious, let alone the Four Seas Dragon Clan?
The Dragon Clan already bore boundless Karma; facing such temptation, it would be strange if they could sit still.
"Good! From today onwards, the Four Seas Dragon Clan shall all belong to the Human Clan. From now on, we shall advance hand in hand, sharing honor and disgrace!" King Zhou said loudly.
This was already within his expectations, so it wasn't much of a surprise, but it still greatly invigorated him.
For him, the strength of the Four Seas Dragon Clan was secondary; compared to the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky, they were still far inferior.
The crucial point was the Four Seas; from today onwards, the Four Seas would officially be incorporated into the Great Shang's territory.
Expanding territory was an unparalleled achievement; this alone was enough to greatly increase Human Clan Luck.
Moreover, the submission of the Four Seas Dragon Clan to the Human Clan had a far greater impact than he had imagined.
Even the qi luck torch began to surge repeatedly, on the verge of transformation, which showed how important this matter was.
Furthermore, with the Four Seas Dragon Clan as an example, would other races be tempted when they saw this?
The sea embraces all rivers, and thus is great! This world not only contains the Human Clan but also countless unique races.
By incorporating all races and utilizing their strengths, developing together, and advancing hand in hand, the future of the Human Clan will surely be even better.
Since the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky regarded all living beings as ants, he would let the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky see that even ants could unleash power that would make Buddhas fear.
The Three Seas Dragon Clans becoming the Human Clan's qi Luck totems was without any suspense and proceeded incredibly smoothly.
Boundless Karmaonce again descended from the Nine Heavens, falling upon the heads of the Three Seas Dragon Clans, helping them eliminate their Karma.
Similarly, half of the Karmafell before King Zhou, but it did not transform into a new Karmatreasure; instead, it condensed into the wan long flag.
The power of the wan long flag became even stronger, and now it could control not just the East Sea Dragon Clan, but the Four Seas Dragon Clan.
To be precise, this should be the complete wan long flag, a Karmatreasure with infinite wondrous uses.
He had never had a treasure in hand, and the appearance of the wan long flag made up for this deficiency.
Just after all the Four Seas Dragon Clan became the Human Clan's qi Luck totems, Human Clan Luck boiled, spreading for a hundred thousand li.
The fire of qi Luck burned fiercely, and amidst the blazing flames, an auspicious phenomenon of ten thousand dragons soaring appeared.
This was similar to the Human Clan Conferring Gods at that time; it was because of the surge in Human Clan Luck that such a grand phenomenon occurred.
And this time, the Four Seas Dragon Clan becoming the Human Clan's qi Luck totems also caused Human Clan Luck to surge.
Seeing this grand scene, countless living beings were shocked, and within the Great Shang territory, enthusiastic cheers erupted everywhere.
"The Four Seas Dragon Clan actually became the Human Clan's qi Luck totems! This was something unimaginable before!"
"The Great King is wise and mighty, unmatched in the world! What can the Four Seas Dragon Clan do? They can only obediently submit!"
"Hahaha! From now on, our Human Clan can stand tall and proud between heaven and earth!"
...
For countless Human Clan members, what they heard and saw today were all things they had never dared to imagine before.
The immediate execution of countless East Sea Dragon Clan members alone was enough to keep countless people talking for a long time.
Moreover, the Great King had incredibly made the Four Seas Dragon Clan submit, incorporating the Four Seas into the Human Clan's territory.
This was an unparalleled achievement! No matter what words were used to praise the Great King, it was all deserved!
More importantly, seeing what happened today, every Human Clan member would feel proud from the bottom of their hearts.
The Four Seas Dragon Clan, in the past, were gods in the eyes of countless people, and now they had to submit obediently?
Unbeknownst to them, the Human Clan had become so powerful; as a Human Clan member, how could one not feel proud of this?
With newfound confidence, how could those beings who once inspired awe in countless people still inspire awe in the Human Clan?
"The Karmadid not condense on me, but instead formed into a Karmatreasure. This shouldn't be a coincidence!" King Zhou thought to himself.
He had long heard from Grand Tutor Wen that after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Human Emperor could not achieve immortality.
He didn't need to think to know that there must be a reason for this, but very few beings knew the reason.
Moreover, since he came to this world, many of the things he had done were unprecedented.
For example, his inventions, and dragon tooth rice, all had a huge impact on the development of the Human Clan.
In ancient times, if one did things beneficial to the development of the Human Clan, the Heavenly Dao would bestow Karma.
When Sui Ren clandrilled wood to make fire, the Heavenly Dao bestowed boundless Karma. When Cang Jie created characters, the Heavenly Dao also bestowed boundless Karma.
Yet, despite all he had done, the Heavenly Dao had not bestowed even a bit of Karma, which naturally made him wonder.
This time, with the Four Seas Dragon Clan submitting to the Human Clan and becoming the Human Clan's qi Luck totems, the Heavenly Dao finally bestowed boundless Karma.
However, these Karmadid not condense on him, but instead transformed into a Karmatreasure, which made him even more puzzled.
He had heard from Grand Tutor Wen that Karmahad infinite wondrous uses and could be said to be the most precious thing in the world.
Karmacould be used to refine magic treasures; as long as the refinement was successful, it would be a Karma Magic Treasure, just like the wan long flag in his hand.
Karmacould be used for cultivation, allowing one's cultivation to rapidly improve without any side effects.
Karmacould be used for protection; with Karmabestowed upon one, all evil would be repelled, and even Buddhas would find it troublesome.
He was already the Human Emperor, protected by Human Clan Luck, so he didn't need Karmafor protection. Although he didn't have a Magic Treasure, he wasn't lacking one for now.
The Karmabestowed by the Heavenly Dao just now was incredibly vast; if used for cultivation, it might allow his cultivation to improve, or even enter the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.
But the Karmabestowed by the Heavenly Dao was clearly meant for him, yet it didn't even ask for his opinion and directly transformed into the Karmatreasure, the wan long flag.
He absolutely could not believe that there was no reason behind this, but where exactly was the problem?
"It seems I'll have to ask the Grandmaster of Heaven about this when I see him next!" King Zhou thought to himself.
What changes occurred after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors that prevented the Human Emperor from achieving immortality?
If anyone knew the profound mysteries behind this, the Buddhas standing at the Peak of this world would definitely be the best candidates.
Last time, outside Chen Tang Pass, he had met the Grandmaster of Heaven, a Buddha.
But at that time, he was full of doubts about the Grandmaster of Heaven coming to see him, and because he had to deal with the East Sea Dragon Clan, he didn't have the opportunity to ask too many questions.
However, this matter was extraordinary, and even if he knew the hidden secrets, it would probably be difficult to deal with, so there was no rush.
Just as King Zhou was puzzled by the boundless Karmabestowed by the Heavenly Dao, the Buddhas were actually very puzzled by it as well.
Buddhas were strong individuals standing at the Peak; everything in the world was within their grasp.
In their view, the Four Seas Dragon Clan submitting to the Human Clan and becoming the Human Clan's qi Luck totems, causing Human Clan Luck to rise, was actually very normal.
But this matter alone was not enough for the Heavenly Dao to bestow Karma, especially such a vast amount of Karma.
This might have been normal in ancient times. But the era had changed, and the rules of the Heavenly Dao had already changed.
Let alone the Human Clan, even if the Four Seas Dragon Clan joined a Buddha's sect, the Heavenly Dao would not bestow boundless Karma.
Under what circumstances would the Heavenly Dao bestow such a vast amount of Karma?
Having made great contributions to heaven and earth, this was the only standard!
For example, when Nüwa refined stones to mend the sky, she was saving heaven and earth and countless living beings, so she naturally obtained boundless Karmafor it.
But for the Four Seas Dragon Clan to submit to the Human Clan and become the Human Clan's qi Luck totems, this matter actually constituted a great contribution to heaven and earth?
Where was the contribution?
Or, was this matter in line with the laws of heaven and earth's development, and would it have a positive impact on heaven and earth in the future?
Regardless of the reason, this matter made the Buddhas change their view of the Human Clan somewhat.
It was certain that the original heavenly secrets had changed, and now even the Buddhas could not see the future changes clearly.
The future had changed, so was Conferring Gods still the original Conferring Gods? Perhaps not!
Temporarily putting aside the doubts in his heart, for King Zhou, now was not the time to consider these things
After the Four Seas Dragon Clan became the Human Clan Luck totem, there was no doubt that the Human Clan had reached a higher level.
However, it would still take some time to fully digest this matter, and a period of adjustment was needed between the Human Clan and the Dragon Clan.
How to treat the Dragon Clan and how to handle the Four Seas all needed careful consideration.
Only by arranging everything properly could the Four Seas Dragon Clan truly integrate into the Human Clan and become a driving force for Human Clan development.
Of course, he didn't need to worry about this; Grand Tutor Wen, Bi Gan, and other ministers would take care of it.
He only needed to Cultivate with peace of mind, strive to improve his strength, and control the overall situation.
Inside the Human Emperor's Spirit Hall, King Zhou looked at the qi luck torch, which was blazing fiercely with high flames, with anticipation.
He could feel that the qi luck torch was about to transform again, and he wondered what kind of changes it would bring this time.
Under his gaze, the qi luck torch suddenly flared up, and the qi Luck flame shot into the sky, and the image of Human Clan Luck changed again.
Since the last time he established the Dao with his body, the image of Human Clan Luck had transformed from a nine-clawed golden dragon into Emperor Yu, one of the Five Emperors.
This time, however, two more figures appeared beside Emperor Yu; upon closer inspection, they were Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, also among the Five Emperors.
Emperor Yao, Emperor Shun, and Emperor Yu stood side by side, appearing majestic and sacred amidst the fiercely burning qi Luck flame.
Just like Emperor Yu before, Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun materialized within Human Clan Luck, allowing You to control the power of these two Great Emperors as well.
With the Three Emperors in the world, if he were to fight against the Jade Emperor Haotian again at this moment, he was confident he could suppress the Jade Emperor Haotian.
"If the qi luck torch transforms a few more times, will the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all appear?" King Zhou muttered to himself.
First, Emperor Yu, one of the Five Emperors, and now Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, it was hard not to have such a thought.
If the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all appeared in Human Clan Luck at the same time, wouldn't he be able to control the power of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
Moreover, by manifesting the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors simultaneously through Human Clan Luck, he might even have the power to contend with a Saint.
In this way, during the upcoming Investiture of the Gods, he would have another trump card when facing a Saint.
However, making Human Clan Luck transform several more times would probably not be an easy task.
As Human Clan Luck continued to surge, it became increasingly difficult to make it transform again.
However, with the Four Seas Dragon Clan submitting to the Human Clan and becoming the Human Clan's qi Luck totem, the opportunity was actually at hand.
After all, if the Four Seas Dragon Clan could do this, other races could follow suit.
Even if other races didn't have the same effect as the Four Seas Dragon Clan, accumulating small gains might still lead to another transformation of Human Clan Luck.
"I still have one chance to draw a All Heavens Treasures; I wonder what I'll get this time?" King Zhou said with anticipation.
Last time, when drawing a All Heavens Treasures, he was incredibly lucky and directly drew the dragon tooth rice.
dragon tooth rice was not of much help to him, but for the entire Human Clan, it was a supreme divine item.
Under the efforts of Grand Tutor Wen, Bi Gan, and others, dragon tooth rice had been gradually promoted throughout Great Shang.
Now, with another chance to draw a All Heavens Treasures, he was naturally filled with anticipation.
With a thought, countless All Heavens Treasures began to transform before him, finally settling on one item.
Chapter 116: Hall of Sages, the Radiance of the Scholars!
What appeared before King Zhou was a hall three inches high and three inches wide, shimmering with sacred radiance.
Upon closer inspection, there was actually a world within the hall, about ten zhang high and forty li in circumference, equivalent to a small city.
"Hall of Sages, this is a Magic Treasure refined by Hong Yi, the Son of the Epoch; it indeed has infinite wondrous uses!" King Zhou muttered to himself.
The Hall of Sages, from the world of "Yang God," was a King of Divine Artifacts, and its power was naturally extraordinary.
The Hall of Sages before him was grand and imposing, with clusters of white light constantly swirling around it—that was the sacred radiance of the Scholars.
Within the sacred radiance, figures seemed to float and sink, continuously reciting the maxims and essays of the ancient Scholars.
Among them, what was most enlightening was actually "Genesis" created by Hong Yi.
In addition, there was also an ancestral dragon-like form, swimming among these sacred radiance figures.
This ancestral dragon was not a real form, but it added layers of mysterious color to the entire hall, making it solemn and sacred.
This Hall of Sages before him was already complete, its power sufficient to destroy the Great Thousand and suppress the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
But for King Zhou, the power of the Hall of Sages was secondary; in this world, there were Magic Treasures more powerful than the Hall of Sages.
Not to mention Prenatal Supreme Treasure and Innate Spiritual Treasure, even the wan long flag, a merit Prenatal Supreme Treasure he had just obtained, was no less powerful than the Hall of Sages.
What truly concerned King Zhou was the profound principles contained within the Hall of Sages—the essence of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
In his opinion, for the Human Clan to truly become strong, it was not just about strength, but also about intellectual power.
Because, within the Human Clan, ordinary commoners always constituted the vast majority, and the strong would always be a minority.
And for these ordinary commoners, after their basic needs were met, they would need spiritual pursuits.
The Hundred Schools of Thought were the essence of an era; their thoughts and theories all possessed immense value.
If he could draw upon the essence of the Hundred Schools of Thought and initiate a wave of intellectual enlightenment within the Human Clan, it would be even more important than subjugating the Four Seas Dragon Clan.
If he could achieve something, allowing the Human Clan to truly rise and stand proudly between heaven and earth, it would be no difficult task.
However, this matter, like the dragon tooth rice, could not be rushed; it was a deed that benefited the present and the future.
Only by persevering, enduring the test of time, discarding the dross, and taking the essence, could true results be seen.
The qi luck torch had transformed, and the All Heavens Treasures had been drawn; he quickly began a new round of cultivation in the Human Emperor's Spirit Hall.
During this period, he had indeed done many things, but he had not neglected his own cultivation.
After establishing the Dao with his body and entering the Immortal King Realm, his cultivation speed should have slowed down, and Breakthroughs would not be achieved overnight.
But he was different; after the qi luck torch continuously transformed, his cultivation speed had increased by hundreds of times.
Originally, it would take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to break through a Realm, but he only needed hundreds or thousands of years.
However, with the Investiture of the Gods approaching, he only had a little over ten years, nowhere near hundreds or thousands of years to Cultivate peacefully.
However, he himself was a Human Emperor, blessed with Human Clan Luck, so his cultivation speed was inherently faster than ordinary beings.
Because of this, he suddenly understood why, after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Human Emperors could not achieve longevity.
With Human Clan Luck bestowed upon them, their cultivation speed indeed defied logic, allowing them to achieve in a short time what ordinary beings could hardly achieve in a lifetime.
If Human Emperors could live forever, it would be difficult for the Human Clan to have dynastic changes, and the reign of a Human Emperor would probably be incredibly long.
And after he established the Dao with his body, he even transformed the entire territory of Great Shang into his domain.
Coupled with the ability of Heaven and Earth Alliances, within the Great Shang territory, he received assistance from heaven and earth, and his cultivation speed reached a higher level.
Thus, under the superposition of various external forces, his incredible cultivation speed was created.
The existence of the Great Emperor Arena allowed him to fight against Human Emperors, thus enabling him to discover his shortcomings in the shortest possible time and perfect himself.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was making rapid progress every moment, something his opponents would never understand.
As long as he was given enough time, even without Human Clan Luck, one day he would be fearless of any existence.
However, before he could Cultivate peacefully for long, Kong Xuan came to him alone.
"Teacher of the Nation, You have come to see You; for what reason?" King Zhou inquired.
Since becoming the Teacher of the Nation of Great Shang, Kong Xuan had always cultivated peacefully, rarely interfering with external affairs.
If he didn't actively seek out Kong Xuan, Kong Xuan generally wouldn't appear, much less actively come to see him.
In other words, anything that could make Kong Xuan take the initiative to come must not be a small matter, and he had to take it seriously.
"Reporting to You, this matter is related to my origin. I was born from the Five Elements, the first peacock between heaven and earth..."
Kong Xuan did not beat around the bush but directly spoke of his origin and the purpose of his visit this time.
According to Kong Xuan, he was the son of Yuanfeng, born from the essence of the Five Elements, an Innate Spiritual Being, which was why he was able to Cultivate all the way to the Quasi-Saint Realm.
He came this time because the changes that occurred after the Four Seas Dragon Clan submitted to the Human Clan gave him hope.
The great war in ancient times was a war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, and his mother, Yuanfeng, was the strongest of the Phoenix Clan.
After that ancient war, the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans incurred boundless Karma from the Heavenly Dao due to their destruction of heaven and earth, leading to widespread suffering.
Among the three clans, the Dragon Clan was the strongest and could only survive to this day, while the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan naturally fared worse.
As Yuanfeng's direct son, seeing the Phoenix Clan gradually decline, he had to find a way to change the Phoenix Clan's current situation.
Therefore, he assisted Great Shang and became the Black Bird passed down through generations of Great Shang, thereby gaining Great Shang's qi Luck.
With the assistance of Great Shang's qi Luck, the Phoenix Clan's situation improved, and they had only recently managed to recover some of their vitality over the years.
Because of this, no matter who wanted to destroy Great Shang, they were his enemy.
But he also knew very well in his heart that relying on Great Shang's qi Luck was not a long-term solution.
However, how easy was it to resolve the boundless Karma weighing on the Phoenix Clan?
The Dragon Clan had tried for countless years and still had no solution; by his strength alone, it was simply too insignificant.
But just a short while ago, he personally saw the boundless Karma on the Dragon Clan dissipate.
It was hard to describe his feelings at that time; it was something he had strived for countless years but had always failed to obtain.
