I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 106: Shang Dynasty, Annihilation

It is said that after hearing that the Grand Tutor had suffered heavy losses from a surprise attack by Jiang Ziya's army, and being pursued by Lei Zhenzi to the point of using earth escape to arrive at a desolate mountain range.

Suddenly, he saw a Daoist, dressed in water Dao Integration robes, holding a dusting brush, standing at the peak of the green mountains.

The Grand Tutor approached and asked, "Who is this Daoist?"

The Taiyi Perfected Being said, "I am the Taiyi Perfected Being of the Qianyuan Mountain Jinguang Cave! Grand Tutor, this is the Juelong Ridge. You have reached a desperate situation, why not surrender?"

The Grand Tutor laughed and said, "I thought it was Yunzhongzi who came, but it turns out to be one of the Twelve Immortals of Yuxu! You mistook me, Wen Zhong, for a child. How dare you say I have reached a desperate situation and deceive me like this?"

Seeing his mocking tone, the Taiyi Perfected Being became furious and was about to summon the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

Just then, a loud shout came from the west, "Old thief Taiyi, your disciple has been acting recklessly with his arrows, killing our disciples. Not only do you not uphold justice, but you also protect the evildoers. Today, you will be listed on the Conferred Divinity List!"

The one speaking was a nun, holding a dusting brush, dressed in water and cloud integration robes, and wearing cloud-walking shoes. She had a face as beautiful as peach blossoms, and she was none other than the Niangniang of Shiji.

The Taiyi Perfected Being was not afraid but rather delighted, and said, "Fellow Daoist, when you released evil spirits in the Qianyuan Mountain, you were full of evil. Today, I will uphold justice on behalf of heaven!"

Just as he was about to make a move, a loud shout came from the east, "Taiyi Perfected Being, you let your disciple act recklessly and kill my son. It is your fault as a teacher. Today, I will send you to the Conferred Divinity List!"

Flying over were a group of experts from the Dragon Race, with the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang at the forefront, followed by two old dragons at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and five peak Golden Immortal Dragon Race powerhouses.

The Taiyi Perfected Being's face became serious. The presence of four Taiyi Golden Immortals put some pressure on him.

However, he was ultimately a Great Principal Golden Immortal-level powerhouse, ranking high among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu. His strength was not to be underestimated, and he was not afraid of the motley crew in front of him.

"Taiyi brother, we have come to send you to the Conferred Divinity List!"

A loud shout came from the south as well, from three Monster Immortals with powerful auras.

They were none other than the Qiu Head Immortal, Jinguang Immortal, and Lingya Immortal.

They were the seven attendants of the Heavenly Master of Tongtian and held esteemed positions in the Jiao Sect.

Finally, the Taiyi Perfected Being's face changed drastically. These three Great Monster Immortals were once ancient gods and demons from the Primordial Era. After the War of Gods and Demons, they were enlightened by the Heavenly Master of Tongtian and became his disciples.

If it were a one-on-one battle, he believed he wouldn't lose to any of the Monster Immortals.

But if the three Great Monster Immortals attacked together, he would be overwhelmed.

"How could this be?"

He felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

"Attack!"

Along with Wen Zhong, experts from the four directions, southeast, northwest, all made their moves, attacking the Taiyi Perfected Being together.

Suddenly, a destructive aura filled the sky, like an ocean or a rolling river. The dazzling light engulfed the Juelong Ridge.

The Taiyi Perfected Being summoned a Taiji Talisman Seal, emitting a yellow light shield to block the overwhelming attacks.

Before coming here, he had borrowed the Taiji Talisman Seal, a defensive treasure, from the Yellow Dragon Perfected Being just in case.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.

For a while, the many experts couldn't break through the Taiyi Perfected Being's defense.

"Fellow Daoist, delay no longer, or things will change!" said the Lingya Immortal.

"I am well aware!"

The Qiu Head Immortal took out a sword that looked like autumn water, two feet long, emitting a blue light all over.

Then, with a strong swing, a green sword aura slashed through the entire sky, dazzling and magnificent in the eyes of everyone, like a giant lightning bolt crossing the sky.

Although the Taiji Talisman Seal was refined by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's Bagua Furnace and was impervious to all laws, it couldn't withstand the killing intent of the Heavenly Master of Tongtian's Conferred Divinity List treasure, the Qingping Sword.

The yellow light shield was instantly shattered by the sword aura.

"Nezha, you deceived me!"

The Taiyi Perfected Being shouted.

Then, the three Great Principle Monster Immortals and the four Taiyi Golden Immortals made their moves together, killing the Taiyi Perfected Being and sending his True Spirit to the Conferred Divinity List.

Immediately after, the Qiu Head Immortal handed the Taiji Talisman Seal and the Qingping Sword to Wen Zhong, saying, "Give these two treasures to the National Teacher. We will return to the Golden Turtle Island first."

"Thank you, Senior Shishu, for your help!" Wen Zhong bowed and said.

Goddess Shi Ji and the Dragon Race experts settled their grievances and left separately.

Xi Qi.

Huang Long Perfected Being saw a strand of True Spirit from Tai Yi Perfected Being drifting onto the Conferred Divinity List, and exclaimed in shock, "How could this be? Didn't Tai Yi Junior Brother go to settle things with Wen Zhong? Why is his own name on the Conferred Divinity List?"

Ne Zha's face turned pale, crying uncontrollably, almost fainting.

Xia Yi sighed and advised, "Although Tai Yi Senior Brother has encountered a calamity, there may still be hope for him to be removed from the Conferred Divinity List in the future. Nephew should focus on seeking revenge and not act like a child."

Upon hearing Xia Yi's advice, Ne Zha gradually recovered and secretly made up his mind to avenge his master.

Huang Long Perfected Being's face turned serious, and he quickly rode a crane and flew eastward.

In no time, he arrived at Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

Coincidentally, he saw the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, Lamp-Igniting Daoist.

Seeing Huang Long in a hurry, Lamp-Igniting Daoist asked, "Where is Huang Long going? What urgent matter is there?"

"Tai Yi Junior Brother was attacked at Jue Long Ridge, and his True Spirit has already appeared on the Conferred Divinity List!" Huang Long Perfected Being hurriedly replied.

"How could this be?"

Lamp-Igniting Daoist was also greatly shocked.

Soon after, Huang Long Perfected Being entered Jade Void Palace and informed Primordial Heavenly Venerable about this matter.

Primordial Heavenly Venerable frowned and tried to calculate with his fingers, but found that the heavenly secrets were chaotic and unclear.

Then, he investigated the situation in Xi Qi and discovered that Martial King's luck was continuously diminishing, as someone was sharing his luck.

"Third Brother, it's truly the means of Tongtian!"

Primordial Heavenly Venerable's face looked grim, and he said, "Quickly let Jiang Ziya lead all the armies of Xi Qi, conquer Cheng Tang, and occupy Chao Ge in the shortest possible time!"

Lamp-Igniting Daoist wondered, "Cheng Tang has the assistance of the Chan Sect's ten thousand immortals. It won't be easy to conquer."

If the war ended so quickly, how could they gather the 365 Heavenly Gods and the 84,000 Evil Stars?

"Cheng Tang? It has long been in name only. I'm afraid it will be a civil war in Xi Qi by then!"

Primordial Daoist snorted coldly.

Shang Dynasty, Jia Meng Pass.

Yuan Gang led a hundred thousand troops from Gongguo to block the pass.

"My son, the defender of Jia Meng Pass is one of the Four Generals of the Demon Clan, who has shaken the Great Shang Dynasty. It's really troublesome!" Yuan Gang worriedly said.

In the past three years, Gongguo had grown rapidly like a snowball, and many checkpoints surrendered without a fight.

Now, he had replaced the Southern Marquis E Chongyu and became the overall commander of the two hundred vassals.

But the Four Generals of the Demon Clan were trusted generals of Wen Taishi, and even immortals couldn't match them.

"Father, we are following the will of heaven, and we will have divine assistance. There is no need to worry about the Four Generals of the Demon Clan!" said a teenager in his early teens, wearing a purple robe with a purple star on his forehead, exuding an indescribable nobility.

"Well, with your words, father doesn't need to worry!" Yuan Gang nodded.

"Wu wu wu..."

A dull horn sounded.

A torrential army surged out of Jia Meng Pass.

Leading them were four giants, ten zhang tall, with faces as green as live crabs and beards as blue as copper wires. They were not human, but a different race.

Or holding the Qingyun Sword, or holding the Primordial Origin Umbrella, or holding the Jade Pipa, or holding the Flower Fox Sable.

The oppressive force of these four demonic brothers is too great. The soldiers of the Gong Kingdom are filled with fear, even the horses let out uneasy neighs, stomping their feet and not daring to approach.

Yuan Yuan patted the exotic beast he was sitting on, walked forward, and then summoned the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword to battle the four demonic brothers.

Mo Liqing opened his mouth and spewed out a green qi, which turned into a thousand-zhang long sword surrounded by green light, with countless thumb-sized golden-armored celestial beings entwined around it.

A giant umbrella that covered the sky and blocked out the sun was opened, causing darkness to descend and the sun and moon to lose their light. With a turn, the universe trembled.

Someone played the Jade Pipa, and in an instant, the earth, wind, water, and fire converged, turning this world into chaos.

There was also a giant beast as tall as a mountain, opening its blood-filled mouth, roaring like thunder, as if it could swallow the hundred thousand army of the Gong Kingdom in one bite.

Yuan Yuan had no expression on his face. The golden Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword shot out, crystal clear and radiant, with golden light swirling around it, burning like flames.

Crash!

A golden sword qi, thick and tens of zhang long, shot out violently.

Mo Liqing couldn't dodge in time and was heavily hit by the sword qi, then fell to the ground, causing the earth to shake and dust to rise.

The other three brothers approached with their exotic treasures, roaring in anger.

The golden sword qi, spanning several li, was majestic.

The three brothers didn't last long and all fell to the ground.

Even the Flower Fox Sable fell to the ground, its tongue sticking out.

The corner of Yuan Yuan's mouth twitched. The acting skills of these four demonic brothers were really poor. They fell to the ground after only a few rounds of fighting.

But the show must go on.

"Are you willing to surrender?" Yuan Yuan asked.

The four demonic brothers struggled to stand up, looked at each other, and said,

"We are willing to surrender!"

With this, Jiameng Pass was recaptured by the Gong Kingdom.

"Once we capture Chao Ge, we will be close to Chaoge!" Yuan Gang was very excited.

"Capturing Chaoge is easy, the difficult part is how to defeat the other feudal lords and establish dominance in the Southern Zhanbu!" Yuan Yuan's gaze turned towards the west, revealing an indescribable expression.

Now, under the guidance of the Jiaojiao Immortals for more than ten years, he had already overcome three heavenly tribulations and become an immortal.

Vaguely, some memories from his past life awakened.

He knew that he had gone to Chaoge to save his "father" and his reputation in Xiqi grew day by day.

But because of this, he blocked the path of his younger brother, Ji Fa.

In the end, he was killed by the Immortal of the Chan Sect using demonic magic.

"My son is right. The most powerful force now is undoubtedly Xiqi. However, I heard that Ji Bohou, the father of Ji Fa, has died from illness after years of war. His son Ji Fa has succeeded him and has the support of many immortals behind him. He cannot be underestimated." Yuan Gang said beside him.

"Ji Chang is dead?" Yuan Yuan was shocked. Although he was only his father in his past life, an uncontrollable sadness rose from the bottom of his heart.

He just didn't know whether his father in his past life died a natural death or was cruelly killed by the Immortal of the Chan Sect.

And his younger brother, Ji Fa.

Throughout the whole process, he was completely unaware.

Either he knew but pretended not to know.

Or he was a participant?

Chaoge.

Thousands of warships, each thousands of zhang long, stood tall in the sky above this ancient capital of tens of thousands of years.

King Zhou stood at the top of the Star-Picking Tower, his entire body radiating a golden hue and emitting a faint light.

He exuded a powerful aura.

But at this moment, a complex expression appeared in his eyes.

The Shang Dynasty, which had lasted for sixty thousand years, had ultimately been defeated by his hands.

"Your Majesty, the ways of humanity are ever-changing. There is no eternal dynasty. Consider the Three Emperors and their divine might, ruling over the Three Realms. Now they can only stay confined in the Fire Cloud Cave, unable to be free," Xia Yi said from the side.

"Although the Shang Dynasty has been destroyed, the spirit of Shang lives on. Even if we cannot witness it, the descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties will eventually reign over the Divine Continent again!"

A resolute gleam flashed in King Zhou's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the royal family, the noble clans, the ministers, and the people of Chaoge, as well as a million-strong army, have all boarded the warships!"

At this moment, Bo Jian, clad in armor, walked up.

He was originally the chief general under the Yellow Emperor, and had been trapped in the sea for countless years after defeating Chi You in ancient times. He had been unable to escape calamity until Xia Yi saved him and now served the Great Shang Dynasty.

The hundreds of warships before them were called the Xuanyuan Divine Thunder warships, the main force warships used by the Yellow Emperor to battle Chi You in ancient times.

Although they couldn't compare to the Heavenly Court's Yuan Magnetic Divine Sky warships, they were still formidable.

King Zhou drew his Human Sovereign Sword and pointed it towards the north. "Then let's board the warships and set off for Beiju Lu Continent, to open up new territory!"

After the Cataclysm of the Witch and Demon, the Primordial Continent was shattered, forming four major continents. Beiju Lu Continent was originally the most barren part of the western continent, and later became tainted by the overwhelming resentment of the Black Tortoise of the North Sea, almost turning into a wasteland with ferocious beasts and poisonous miasma.

Among the Four Continents of the Earth Immortal Realm, only Beiju Lu Continent could accommodate the abandoned Shang Dynasty army.

Just like the Monster Race and the Witch Clan, abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, they were also barely surviving in Beiju Lu Continent.

However, it was not an easy task for the Shang Dynasty army to establish a new dynasty and open up new territory in Beiju Lu Continent.

Wen Zhong solemnly said, "Your Excellency, I entrust the upcoming battles to you. I cannot rest assured about Your Majesty and will prepare to accompany the army to Beiju Lu Continent."

"Grand Preceptor, please go! If you encounter any monstrous Monster Kings, I will lend a hand!" Xia Yi nodded.

Then, one by one, the massive warships, as huge as mountains, set off towards the north, heading for Beiju Lu Continent.

Only an empty Chaoge was left behind.

At this point, the Conferment of Gods had already been completely distorted.

Originally, King Zhou, as the Human Sovereign, was deeply entangled in karma and it was impossible for him to easily escape and go to Beiju Lu Continent.

But King Zhou practiced the Blissful Enlightenment method, glimpsing the path of annihilation, seeing through the layers of illusions. That's why he had such great determination, cutting off his own arm without hesitation, and resolutely decided to abandon Chaoge and seek a new path.

Of course, the overall situation of humanity had not changed.

The Shang Dynasty fell, and the Zhou Dynasty rose.

"Now let's see who can claim the legitimacy of the Great Zhou!" Xia Yi murmured.

One month later.

Yuan Yuan led a large army and easily crossed the Min River, arriving at Chaoge.

The city wall, which was hundreds of zhang high and had existed for tens of thousands of years, was covered in axe marks and sword holes, with ancient traces mottled, unable to conceal its heavy historical atmosphere, adding a sense of desolation.

But there were no soldiers patrolling on it. It was empty, with a sense of loneliness permeating the air.

The army slowly entered Chaoge.

Inside, there was an empty city.

Only some elderly and weak people still lived there.

"Is this how we occupy Chaoge and destroy the Great Shang?"

Yuan Gang couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

Yuan Yuan, on the other hand, had long anticipated this and said, "Father, we should send letters to the eight hundred feudal lords, announcing that Gongguo has destroyed the Great Shang and that Chaoge shall be the capital, to be named Zhou!"
