Chapter 837: Chapter 818: Strongest Fox Spirit 18
The entire Primordial Land was shocked.
Both immortals and the Human Clan were bewildered.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Sect Leader gathered once more.
All three had faces full of disbelief.
Yuanshi Tianzun coughed: "Is the Shang Dynasty really over that fast?"
Tongtian Sect Leader was still trying to come to his senses.
"I just assigned heavy coursework to my disciples to keep them at Biyou Palace, forbidding them from going out..."
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad had a stern face: "I also just instructed my disciples to enter closed-door cultivation."
Yuanshi Tianzun lowered his head: "Jiang Ziya only descended from the mountain with the Investiture of the Gods not long ago."
They were all ready to make a big move, but nothing happened, and the Shang Dynasty just ended?
How exactly did the Shang Dynasty fall?
The immortals couldnāt figure it out.
Nor could Emperor Shang.
Even being captured alive, he still didnāt understand how it all ended.
Marquis Xibo, now already King Wen of Zhou, wanted to accuse Emperor Shang of his crimes.
But after thinking it over, there didnāt seem to be much wrongdoing.
He didnāt kill anyone, didnāt commit arson, nor did he do anything utterly foolish.
Emperor Shangās ministers also were trying to grasp the situation.
They were all ready to collaborate from the inside and outside to deal with Emperor Shang and then divide the spoils, but before they knew it, the dynasty had changedāeven with the plan already set.
Then, a minister stepped forward and cursed Emperor Shang: "Ugh, you listened to the evil concubineās slanders, persecuting..."
He started cursing but found himself unable to continue.
Someone was still looking for the evil concubine.
"Whereās the evil concubine?"
After searching the entire harem, they couldnāt find her. Not only did Consort Su disappear, but Queen Jiang was also missing.
Whereās Queen Jiang?
She was holding onto Feng Ananās clothes, kneeling and crying: "I donāt want to stay in the harem anymore. I donāt want to go back to my parentās home. I want to follow you in cultivation. I can do anything, please accept me."
Feng Anan was both angry and helpless: "Let go, I need to go home quickly. My sister is waiting for me for dinner."
"I can cook."
Queen Jiang quickly said: "I can make lots of delicious dishes. Let me go home with you, please."
Shi Antian walked over with a smile: "Sister, take her with us. Sheās just a mortal, canāt stir up much trouble."
The two demons then took Queen Jiang back to Xuanyuan Tomb.
Queen Jiang arrived at Xuanyuan Tomb and entered the protective formation. Seeing the bustling town-like place inside, she was truly shocked.
"You, you demons cultivate in places like this?"
This is even better than Chaoge City.
Feng Anan nodded: "Why, canāt we demons live a bit better? Do we have to live in cave dwellings?"
Queen Jiang quickly shook her head.
Shi Antian already shouted: "Sister, sister, weāre back."
Then Queen Jiang saw a particularly petite, cute, and adorable girl, who was so delicate she seemed like someone youād want to hold in your palm, walking out of the biggest house.
"Youāre back, come in, the foodās already cooked."
Uh?
Queen Jiang was dumbfounded again.
What in the world is going on?
When did demons stop eating people and start cooking?
Before she could come to her senses, Jiang Ziya came furiously looking.
"Mr. Hu."
Jiang Ziya shouted outside the door.
Anning responded and walked outside, smiling at Jiang Ziya: "Mr. Jiang, youāre here."
"Mr. Hu, you... you tell me, what should I do? Whose names should I put on the Investiture of the Gods?"
Jiang Ziya was truly worried; not a single name had been listed, and the Shang Dynasty was already over.
Where was he supposed to find immortals to put on the Investiture of the Gods?
Anning smiled: "No worries, no worries. You know why the Investiture of the Gods was created, right? Itās because Heaven lacks manpower, and no one wants to work there; thatās why it was made, to recruit some workers for Heaven, correct?"
Jiang Ziya nodded.
"Since no one wants to go, we should just stay put. No one will lose or gain; weāll rotate, everyone gets a position, every few hundred years thereās a shift. For immortals, isnāt that time just flying by? I reckon everyone would agree. If not, ask your master to step in."
After thinking it over, Jiang Ziya felt it was feasible.
Then he hurriedly left with the Investiture of the Gods.
Anning smiled sweetly and extended her hand to Queen Jiang: "Youāre Queen Jiang, right? Come in quickly."
When the Zhou Dynasty was established, Emperor Shang was conferred as a Marquis and shut in a courtyard in Chaoge.
He sat under a tree, listening to the commotion outside, crying sadly and feeling very wronged.
Why, how come?
He wanted to diminish the feudal states, and they joined forces to dethrone him, but Ji Changās son Ji Fa managed to do so. Isnāt that just bullying?
Thatās how things are in this world, and Emperor Shang couldnāt help it.
A few years passed, and Anning was also listed on the Investiture of the Gods by the cunning Jiang Ziya. She was assigned a task.
Alongside her, Feng Anan and Shi Antian also made it onto the list.
The three sisters could only pack up their belongings and head to Heaven for duty.
Anning had just arrived at Heaven when Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Leader came too.
They brought plenty of rare and precious treasures on behalf of Xiao Yuan to propose marriage.
Heaven had just sorted out its positions, and the Jade Emperor now had to help organize a wedding.
Anning went to the Jade Emperor to discuss: "Your Majesty, you see, now Iām a member of Heaven too. Iām just a little demon; these years havenāt saved up much. I have no dowry for my wedding; can you sponsor me? Otherwise, leaving from Heaven, having nothing, wouldnāt it be embarrassing for you too?"
Heaven had just been established, and the Jade Emperor was also financially strained.
Anning asked him for a dowry, and he was driven to tears.
Ultimately, some immortal gods couldnāt stand the sight and took out their private collections to help out, and finally, they gathered a substantial dowry for Anning for a proper wedding.
Anning and Xiao Yuan spent many years in this world.
She couldnāt even count the years herself.
Until Queen Jiang had successfully cultivated, she and Xiao Yuan left this world.
After passing through chaos, Anningās Divine Soul was even more condensed.
When they left, this Heavenly Dao seemed to almost celebrate their departure.
To ensure they left properly and not be frequently startled anymore, the Heavenly Dao became generous and gave them many good things.
Anyway, they received a lot of Merit.
Anning thought after traversing chaos, everything would be peaceful.
However, she encountered temporal turbulence again.
But this time, she and Xiao Yuan held tightly to each otherās hands, and the turbulence did not separate them.
After passing through temporal turbulence, they arrived in another world again.
When Anning regained consciousness again, she was riding a horse.
She looked at her surroundings and realized she was in ancient times again.
Riding fast through the street.
It was morning and the street was almost devoid of passersby.
Behind her, some attendants shouted: "Master, master, slow down..."
Anning closed her eyes briefly, received some memory from the original host, and then galloped to the Fifth Princess Manor.
Upon reaching the Prince Mansion gates, she deftly jumped off the horse, ignoring the attendants behind, and hurriedly entered the backyard.
