Chapter 882 Calamities of the Mortal World
When the Shang Dynasty conquered Xiqi, the Xiqi leaders, led by Ji Fa, were ashen-faced. Some of the leaders who were unwilling to become prisoners chose to die for their country.
Ji Fa did not want to suffer humiliation from the Yin Shang, so before the city of Xiqi was breached, he planned to die for his country and at the same time give the Yin Shang a severe blow!
Unfortunately, he was unlucky and was subdued by the spy sent by the Yin Shang to Xiqi, leaving him no chance to commit suicide! As for the great demon he had placed his hopes on, it was crushed by the Yin Shang side with absolute strength beforehand, leaving it with no chance to self-destruct!
In the end, Ji Fa was sent to Chaoge to be judged by Emperor Xin. Emperor Xin knew that things might change if he waited too long, so Ji Fa was sent to the execution ground at Caishikou on the second day after arriving in Chaoge!
As for Ji Fa's remaining 98 brothers and their elders, they were not spared either, and went to the Yellow Springs with Ji Fa! After the direct descendants of the Marquis of Xibo were all beheaded and displayed to the public, their bodies were made into bronze statues together with the body of the Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang, and knelt for eternity in front of the Temple of Immortals and Sages headed by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Three Ancestors of Humanity, and were despised by the human race for eternity!
As for the collateral branches of the Marquis of Xibo, they didn't fare any better. Those who committed heinous crimes were beheaded and their heads displayed in public. Those whose crimes did not warrant death were sent to mines. Unless they die, they will never be able to stop!
Those who were innocent or even had merits were treated leniently and sent to farm. As for whether these pampered young masters and ladies could survive, that was none of Di Xin's business!
The feudal lords of the world did not find anything wrong with the complete elimination of the lineage of the Marquis of Xibo. After all, they had received the kindness of Xiqi since childhood. Now that Xiqi had fallen, they should bear the backlash they deserved, even if they were completely innocent!
……
After Xiqi was destroyed, the saints noticed that the already thin aura of calamity had become even thinner, but it was still a little short of the end of the great calamity!
Just as the sages were pondering how to sweep away the evil energy in the primordial world as soon as possible, they heard that Di Xin, who had already begun to vigorously develop the Yin Shang Dynasty, once again ascended the altar!
"Humanity is supreme. Immortals and gods spread their teachings to the human race and protect it. The human race contributes their faith to the immortals and gods, and the immortals and gods receive the fortune and offerings from the human race. This is a matter of cause and effect being cleared. However, some immortals and gods have been misled by others and have supported feudal states to start wars among the human race, intending to interfere with the human race's internal affairs, further divide the human race's fortune, and turn the human race into a puppet in the hands of the immortals and gods!"
I, Emperor Xin, in the name of the Human Sovereign, hereby implore humanity to manifest its divine power, to bestow divine might, and to use the destiny of the human race as a guide, and the blood and resentment of our ancestors who died unjustly as a sacrifice, to bring down calamities upon the human settlements.
From this day forward, anyone who enters human territory without the permission of the Ancestral Temple will be afflicted by the calamities of the mortal world; anyone who attacks innocent humans within human territory will be afflicted by the calamities of the mortal world; and anyone who interferes with the internal affairs of the human race will be afflicted by the calamities of the mortal world!
With the oath made by Emperor Xin, the Eye of Humanity manifested itself in a very gracious manner. The human race made great contributions in the process of the emergence of humanity, and it was precisely because of these contributions that humanity showed more favor to the human race.
The oath made by Emperor Xin was not excessive in terms of humanity; on the contrary, it was beneficial to the development of the human race and strengthened the foundation of humanity. Therefore, after a short pause, humanity agreed to Emperor Xin's request!
The moment humanity agreed to Di Xin's request, the last remaining calamity energy in the primordial world swept towards the human territory.
At the same time, the blood of the ancestors of the human race, which had seeped into the earth, rose from the earth, and the indelible resentment flew towards the rising blood mist. In the end, under the catalysis of the human race's fortune and the calamity energy, it transformed into a mortal calamity that only immortals and gods could see!
The moment the calamity of the mortal world arose, the immortals, gods, demons, and monsters who had been running rampant and oppressing the human race in the human territory were in dire straits. They were completely dissolved by the newly risen calamity of the mortal world and turned into nutrients for the calamity of the mortal world to grow further!
