Chapter 181 Emperor

Chapter 181: The Emperor
Even Xuan sighed in bewilderment, unable to comprehend how anyone could oppose the will of heaven. It was truly inconceivable!
Perhaps it was the presence of King Zhou that changed the unquestioning tone, as he softly muttered, "This is the will of heaven, the divine will!"
“The will of heaven? Why should I always obey the will of heaven?” King Zhou stood up and said.
“Do we need a reason to follow the will of heaven? Hasn't it always been so since ancient times? Heaven created everything that is known, and it educated humanity to learn rituals and follow rules.” Xuan Cha said.
"Hmph, the heavens create the world as they please. The Shang Dynasty has grown tired of serving the gods, from this day forth, the great Shang and the divine beings are at odds."
Once this statement was made, everyone was shocked by the words of King Zhou!
"Oh King, you are confused! The will of God cannot be violated. If you turn back now, I can pretend that none of this has happened."
Xuancha looked at the arrogant King Zhou sitting on the throne, trying to awaken the confused King Zhou, for the will of God cannot be resisted.
However, King Zhou remained unmoved and resolute, leaving Xuancha no choice but to shake his head helplessly.
"Xuancha, I'll trouble you to return to the Divine Realm in thirty days and inform the Will of the Gods."
"If the Gods do not respond, then let them come and attack me!"
Li Mu witnessed all this and couldn't help but admire King Zhou's determination and actions of resisting the Divine Clan.
To accomplish extraordinary deeds with an ordinary body! Not seeking fame, wealth, or pleasure, but striving for the freedom of all living beings!
In this vast world, how many can achieve such a feat? The majority of people are deeply enslaved, let alone resist, they dare not even utter a disrespectful word.
However, King Zhou has achieved it, in Li Mu's opinion, it is not an exaggeration to call him an immortal among mortals.
With a worried expression on his face, King Zhou walks towards Li Mu. Although he made a bold statement just now, the gods are powerful and suppress the various tribes. Although he has become much stronger with Li Mu's help, the pressure from the gods still weighs on him like Mount Tai.
"What's wrong, worried about the punishment from the gods?" Li Mu laughed.
"The gods are powerful, who wouldn't be afraid? But the gods are greedy and treat the humans as mere animals, using them as tools."
"So I'm afraid, I want to do something big, something that no one dares to do."
"Indeed he is King Zhou, so domineering!"
"Don't worry! I'll protect your life, no one can take it away!" Li Mu said.
"Thank you, sir!"
……
The Divine Realm, the Palace of the Gods.
"What! The king of the Great Shang dares to defy the divine will and even publicly burn the Divine Pearl?"
The gods were shocked, displaying an expression of disbelief.
Xuancha has returned to the divine realm and immediately informed the gods of King Zhou's rebellion.
"Alas, for thirty generations, the ancestors of the Shang Dynasty have served the gods diligently. Unexpectedly, this generation's king acted against the will of heaven, insisting on defying the celestial order. He even audaciously proclaimed that the gods should come and punish him for his outrageous and foolish behavior!" Xuancha's face filled with sorrow.
"The gods have been civilizing humans since ancient times, teaching them etiquette and rules. That's how they've come to this level of development today."
"But now, these lowly monkeys dare to openly rebel against us."
Maybe it's time to have a major cleansing of the human race again. Since the Business King wishes for the gods to come and punish him, let the six major gods fulfill his wish and go to punish him!
"Make him understand the immense gap between mortals and gods!"
"Only his blood can appease the wrath of the gods."
……
"It is well known that Emperor Zhou of the Great Shang Dynasty has become the enemy of the gods, causing widespread panic and fear."
The gods' support for the royal Ji clan of the Western Zhou Dynasty has made their intentions unpredictable, and they have begun to attack the powerful Shang Dynasty.
With the assistance of the gods, the army has already reached the gates of the Chaoge city.
This battle could be the final one, or it could result in a dynasty change.
In the city, chaos reigns.
At this time, King Zhou has already been hated by most people. They blame King Zhou for offending the gods and bringing disasters.
How can human beings resist against gods? Isn't it a fool's dream?
Li Mu did not pay attention to these trivial matters and sat alone on the top of the highest attic in the palace.
A gentle breeze blew, making his robe rustle, as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the beauty of nature.
"Hello, sir!" King Zhou walked over with a smile, accompanied by a white-haired person carrying a sword.
Upon seeing the person's attire, Li Mu confirmed his identity as the Great Swordsman Ziyu.
He is the younger brother of King Zhou and also a knight-errant, roaming the world and helping the weak. Of course, he also calls himself a scavenger.
Zi Yu has learned from his brother King Zhou that Li Mu is powerful, so he has come with King Zhou to seek advice.
Li Mu would naturally not refuse.
On the martial arts field, all one could see was Ziyu being easily and effortlessly toyed with by Li Mu, as if he were a sandbag being kicked around.
Considering that Ziyu was not King Zhou after all, and did not share a life with the Phoenix, he couldn't withstand beatings as well. Therefore, Li Mu showed restraint in his actions.
Give him a treasure to improve his physical fitness after tampering with the same formula.
Looking at Zi Yu absorbing energy while sitting cross-legged, Li Mu smiled and murmured to himself, "Oh, the gods of the divine race, this surprise is pretty good!"
……
Leisure time flies away in an instant.
Today in Chaoge City, it's a rare sunny day with a blazing sun.
However, the sky quickly turned dark, with dust filling the air and dark clouds pressing down on the city.
The earth trembles slightly, and the sand and stones jump. A suppressed atmosphere permeates the air.
This is the prelude to Zhou Bing's attack on the city, with thousands of soldiers and horses advancing together, creating a grand momentum.
Outside of Chao Ge City, ten miles away, on top of a gentle sand dune, the fully armed Zhou Bing eagerly gazes at this prosperous and wealthy city in the Middle Earth. His eyes are filled with intensity and passion.
"After today, this world will be yours, Lord Zhou," a sinister and hoarse voice came, as the bent figure of Xuan Cha smiled.
Beside him stood a man in black iron armor, with a long sword strapped to his waist, his eyes deep as water and his face exuding a commanding presence.
This is King Zhou Ji's servant, supported again by the gods among the human race.
"King Zhou's reputation as a brave warrior has spread throughout the world, so why haven't we seen the presence of the gods till today?" Ji Fa asked in a deep voice.
"Hehe, the gods will naturally appear when the king needs them. King Zhou's rebellion is disrespectful."
"How could mortals possibly compare to gods? King Zhou's failure is destined, and he will be punished by the gods."
And you, King Zhou, from today onwards, you will be the ruler of the world. Heaven, in order to reward your loyalty as a devoted servant of the gods, has specially bestowed upon you the title of Emperor," said Xuan Cha.
"Emperor?" Ji Fa showed confusion on his face.
"Yes, indeed. The Son of Heaven. You are the most deserving of this honor." Xuan Cha's smile became even more exuberant.
"The Son of Heaven, from now on, I am the Son of Heaven!" Ji Fa's face showed a hint of surprise.
Then, Ji encouraged morale, feeling excited and gave an impassioned speech.
