Chapter 561 Attaining sainthood is just around the corner!
Seeing Haotian's gloomy expression, a celestial official stepped forward and said:
"His Majesty."
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have passed away, and the human race is about to enter a new era."
"If Your Majesty can support a new human ruler and acquire the human race's fortune, then attaining enlightenment and merit will be within your grasp."
As the celestial official spoke, Haotian's eyes shone brightly.
"yes!"
"If we can support the new human emperor to ascend the throne, we will surely gain a great deal of merit and fortune."
"At that time, I will be able to successfully attain sainthood!"
Thinking about it, Haotian's brows suddenly furrowed, and he muttered to himself in doubt:
"only."
"Currently, human tribes are numerous and not yet unified. Whom should we support?"
Upon hearing what Haotian said, the first celestial official to speak replied:
"Your Majesty, I have already performed the calculations."
"The human race has a son named Qi, who is the son of Yu the Great."
"This child has an extraordinary destiny; he is destined to be the new ruler of the human race."
"If Your Majesty can support this child to become the ruler of humanity, you will surely gain the greatest fortune!"
Upon hearing this, Haotian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
"good!"
"That's what we'll do!"
After dismissing all the celestial officials, Haotian had already made up his mind.
He thought he could transform into a Taoist and go down to the human realm for a visit.
Without further ado, he vanished from the Heavenly Court.
……
Meanwhile, in Tushan, where the human race resides.
An old Taoist priest, holding a whisk and exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, appeared.
This old Taoist priest was none other than Haotian in disguise. He came to Tushan this time to make contact with Xia Qi.
Soon, the old Taoist priest, who was actually Haotian, met Xia Qi in Tushan and displayed some immortal techniques in front of him.
"Xia Qi, you have extraordinary bones and a noble destiny; you are destined to be a ruler."
"This humble Taoist priest is willing to accept you as his disciple and teach you with utmost care."
"Are you willing?"
Upon hearing what the old Taoist priest Haotianhua said, Xia Qi was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude.
From then on, Haotian stayed in Tushan and taught Xia Qi.
Xia Qi was exceptionally intelligent and made rapid progress. He placed great trust in his master, Haotian, and obeyed his every word.
……
In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and Xia Qi has grown into an adult.
Although Yu the Great has passed away, the human race still reveres his prestige.
Boyi was once a capable assistant to Yu the Great, highly respected and deeply loved by the people.
However, Qi, whom Haotian supported, was unwilling to give way to Boyi.
On this day, Xia Qi found Haotian.
"Master!"
"Although Boyi is virtuous, he is ultimately an outsider."
"I am the son of Yu, and this world should rightfully belong to me."
"Master, is there any way to allow me to ascend to the throne?"
Upon hearing Xia Qi's words, Haotian smiled slightly and replied:
"My disciple, since you have this intention, I will certainly help you."
"But the matter of ascending the throne should not be rushed. It must be planned slowly and deliberately."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qi nodded.
Next, with Haotian's advice, Xia Qi first won over the court officials to cultivate his own power, and then spread rumors about Boyi to weaken his prestige...
Soon, he used his status as the son of Yu the Great to win over a group of ministers.
They also secretly spread rumors that Boyi was ambitious and intended to usurp the throne.
Although Boyi was known for his wisdom, he was not good at political maneuvering and was overwhelmed by Qi's schemes.
When the time was finally ripe, Xia Qi launched a coup, imprisoned Boyi, and then executed him.
The news spread, and the human race was shaken.
"What?"
"Qi killed Boyi!"
"How could that be?"
"He is the son of Yu the Great, how could this be?"
"If King Yu knew this, how could he tolerate it?"
"..."
For a time, voices of opposition rose up among the human race, and some tribes even rose up in rebellion.
Upon learning this, Qi was furious and immediately ordered the suppression.
Before long, all the rebellious tribes were wiped out by Qi's army.
Those ministers who resisted were publicly executed by Qi as a warning to others.
Blood stained the imperial court, and no one dared to oppose Qi anymore.
After suppressing all opposition, Qi officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself "King".
He announced the abolition of the abdication system and the implementation of a "hereditary system".
The throne is passed down from father to son, succeeding each other through generations.
On the day he ascended the throne, Xia Qi announced:
"The world belongs to the family!"
"From this day forward, the throne shall be inherited by my Xiahou clan for generations!"
"No one may covet it!"
After ascending the throne, Qi of Xia named the country "Xia", which is historically known as the "Xia Dynasty".
Thus, the first legitimate dynasty in human history was born, and the era of "rule by family" began.
Meanwhile, in Haotian's realm, because he supported Xia Qi in becoming a princess of the human race, thus ushering in a new era for the human race, the Heavenly Dao also bestowed a great deal of merit upon her.
"Ha ha!"
"Great, that's wonderful."
"Now that we have gained so much merit, in addition to the fortune of the human race and the Heavenly Court."
"My ascension to sainthood is just around the corner!"
Overwhelmed with excitement, Haotian was filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, news of Xia Qi establishing a hereditary dynasty for the human race quickly spread throughout the prehistoric world.
The location of Penglai Immortal Island is on the main island.
The Three Pure Ones gathered together.
As saints, they naturally sensed it.
Previously, after Xia Qi ascended the throne, he obtained a large amount of Heavenly Merit from Haotian.
"Big brother."
"It seems that a new sage will be born in the Heavenly Court soon!"
"The Primordial Celestial Venerable said calmly."
They had sensed earlier that a new king was about to be born among the human race.
As expected, Haotian of the Heavenly Court would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Upon hearing what the Primordial Celestial Venerable said, the Supreme Sage nodded slightly and said:
"The idea of a world ruled by family... does align with the evolution of human nature."
"but……"
At this point, the Supreme Sage paused slightly, then added:
"The affairs of mortals are none of our concern."
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled faintly and said nothing more. Instead, Tongtian Jiaozhu, who was standing to the side, took over and said:
"What you say is absolutely right, elder brother!"
"But I must say, Xia Qi does have some guts."
……
The Western religion is located on Mount Sumeru.
The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, slowly opened their eyes and immediately noticed the fluctuations in the Heavenly Court's fortune.
"snort!"
After a moment of silence, Zhunti gave a cold snort, sounding slightly unwilling:
"Senior brother."
"Haotian supported the ascension of the new human king, thus ushering in a new era. Heaven has bestowed upon them immense merit!"
"With the blessing of the Heavenly Court's fortune and the human race's fortune, it should be able to break through to the Saintly Path, right?"
"It's a pity that... this Sage Dao Fruit was not given to the Western Sect by the Dao Ancestor before."
"Otherwise, our Western Religion will give birth to its third saint!"
Upon hearing what Zhunti said, Jieyin sighed with a sorrowful expression and lamented:
"Junior brother, all I can say is... our Western Sect's karmic connection hasn't arrived yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhunti narrowed his eyes slightly.
Immediately afterward, something suddenly occurred to him, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said:
"Senior brother, the human race has now entered a new stage with the establishment of hereditary monarchy."
"Shouldn't we take some action?"
"For example... sending some disciples to the human race to teach the doctrines of my Western Religion?"
