Chapter 524: The Alliance between King Zhou of Shang and King Wu of Zhou
Night falls and the bright moon hangs high.

In the city of Chang'an, the people were unaware that a killing calamity that would spread across the three realms was about to occur, and they slept peacefully.

Those who know that a killing calamity is about to happen but cannot stop it are also sleeping.

For example, the King of Wei.

Just tonight, special.

Because the King of Wei saw the Emperor of Qi, the King of Han, and Ji Ren in his dream.

Looking at the three people in his dream, King Wei raised his brows slightly, wondering secretly, how come he saw them again in his dream after just seeing them during the day?
“Don’t think too much, Your Highness. This is a dream, but it is also reality. I used a special method, taking advantage of the blood connection between His Majesty and the King of Han and you, to enter your dream. If Your Highness is too emotional, you might be noticed.” Ji Ren said.

"They don't know?" Upon hearing this, the King of Wei's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately asked, "Why did you enter my dream?"

“Of course I am concerned about King Wei. There are some things that Your Highness probably doesn’t want those people from Jiejiao to know.” Ji Ren smiled at King Wei.

"Did Boyi come here to explain the teachings?" asked the King of Wei.

"I came here for myself." Ji Ren said.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the King of Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately smiled and said, "Bo Yi's words are not right. According to common sense, Boyi should have said that he came for me, so that he could persuade me."

"If I were an envoy to another country, I would certainly use this kind of rhetoric from a strategist, after all, we are all talking about profit. But with Your Highness, I know Your Highness and You know me, so why should we be so polite and hypocritical? Let's just skip the foreplay, so that it's good for you, it's good for me, and it's good for everyone, after all, time is precious." Ji Ren chuckled.

Hearing Ji Ren's words "I know Your Highness, and Your Highness knows me", the King of Wei couldn't help but relax his brows and said with a smile: "Okay, Boyi, tell me your purpose and why you are here today. Although Boyi has means, I don't think he can enter my dream by himself. It should be the immortals of the Chan Sect who made the move. I can trust Boyi, but I can't trust them. Why did they let Boyi enter my dream?"

"Of course it is to persuade Your Highness to surrender. First, let Your Highness establish the Great Shang in the future. When expanding the territory, he will give part of the luck to the Chan Sect to strengthen the Chan Sect's strength. Second, when the Great Zhou counterattacks in the future, we also hope that Your Highness will cooperate. In return, the Chan Sect can give Your Highness the opportunity to choose freely. If you want to be a god, you can be a powerful star lord. If you want to be an immortal, you can also arrange it. If that doesn't work, we can also arrange for Your Highness's children to become the king of a country." Ji Ren said.

"It is indeed generous, but why do they think they can definitely win? This time they have found the inheritor of Jiang Ziya's Dharma image, and he is Zhang Hui of the Han Dynasty." said the King of Wei.

"It has indeed fallen into their hands. But it is reasonable for Zhang Hui and Zhang Liang to become Jiang Shang." Ji Ren smiled when he heard this. Zhang Liang, the inheritor of Taigong's Art of War, is also the only clearly recorded disciple of Jiang Ziya in history. It is legitimate for him to inherit Jiang Ziya's Dharma.

"Not panicking?" King Wei looked at Ji Ren and said.

"No, in this case, wouldn't you, King Wei, be more panicked? With people who are destined to face the calamity here, they hold the initiative and it will be easier for them to abandon you. And the most crucial thing is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has also condensed the Dharma image. Although they don't have the key like you, they have all joined the Jiejiao, and Huo Wuji has even become a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother. In this case, even if the Jiejiao succeeds, Your Highness will be afraid that you will be pulled down by others. After all, Zhang Hui is the head of the civil officials, and Huo Wuji is the head of the military generals, and Your Highness's own ability is actually not as good as that of the Emperor Wu. To be precise, there is a big gap between our Great Qi royal family and the Great Han royal family." Ji Ren said.

"cough cough"

Hearing Ji Ren's words that they were much worse than the Han royal family, the three of them coughed at the same time.

Some things are better left unsaid.

"We are all family, so there is no need to hide anything. Aren't you three envious of the quality of the Han royal family?" Ji Ren said.

"Bo Yi, our time is limited, so let's get to the point." Emperor Qi said.

Envy?
Of course I envy you!

But what's the use?
Is this something gained through envy?

"Okay, let's get on with the point. Although they have found the person who is destined to be robbed, the Whip is in my hands." Ji Ren said with a smile. "What?" King Wei was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Ji Ren in disbelief, "Isn't this going to be in the hands of the person who is destined to be robbed?"

"It's common sense, but I'm not common sense. I'm too outstanding, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm the man that both King Zhou and King Wu dreamed of but couldn't get in this disaster." Ji Ren said proudly.

"You will be my subordinate in the future." The King of Han said, that's enough.

Although it is really a dream come true, please be restrained.

Don't I want to lose face?
"Call him Emperor Xin, not the evil posthumous name." The King of Wei also corrected.

I will win.

"That being said, there is controversy over whether King Zhou's posthumous name is an evil one. And the word 'Zhou' became an evil posthumous name in history because King Zhou failed. There is nothing wrong with the word itself. It is because of King Zhou that he became an evil posthumous name. Just like the word 'Hui' was originally nothing, but since Qin Hui came out, after the Song Dynasty, there are very few people with the single name 'Hui'. The posthumous name 'Zhongxian', which was used by Qin Hui, is not that glorious either." Ji Ren said.

"Go on, you said you came here for you, what do you want? And second brother, what do you want?" King Wei looked at Ji Ren and then looked at King Han.

"I want to live. The catastrophe is dangerous and mortals are like ants. Although I am a fairy of the orthodox teaching now, it does not mean that I will not die. Moreover, the fight between fairies will bring disaster to the people. It's okay for foreign races, but they all believe in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and have the same culture. How can we bear to kill too much? So I think we need to form an alliance. Who says King Zhou and King Wu must be mortal enemies?" Ji Ren said with a smile.

"Form an alliance with you. I have never believed in destiny. I hate it because destiny must submit to you now, and I also hate the thought of defeating you in the future. It is because of destiny, not myself, that I defeat you. I don't want to be manipulated by others as a puppet." The King of Han also said.

"With your ability, without external help, you will never be able to defeat me in your life." King Wei said proudly.

"If you didn't have these Jiejiao immortals by your side, I would kill you right now." The King of Han glared at the King of Wei unhappily.

"Come on. Didn't I beat you enough when you were a kid?" The King of Wei looked at the King of Han and said provocatively. He had similar talents to the King of Han, but he was four years older than the King of Han and his cultivation was slightly higher.

"Okay, let's talk business. If you two want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, the kind that involves life and death." Emperor Qi said. The two men who were about to become grandfathers were still so childish.

After hearing the words of the Emperor of Qi, the King of Wei and the King of Han stopped for a while.

“So, I want everyone to cooperate.” Ji Ren said.

"How can we cooperate? With our current strength, we are all puppets. Cooperation is just a joke." King Wei said.

"You are a puppet now because, Your Highness, you are not the real emperor of the Shang Dynasty yet, and the power of the Da Qi has not reached its peak. When the power of the Da Qi reaches a higher level and truly unifies the Southern Continent, not to mention Duobao Taoist, even if the entire Jiejiao comes together, it will not be able to hurt Your Highness in the slightest. And by then, Your Highness will unify the human race, speak in accordance with the will of heaven, and the gods and immortals will give in. You can make ghosts gods and monsters immortals. With just one word, the country will bless you, and you can even save the cultivators thousands of years of hard practice. So during this period of time, Your Highness can cultivate your own power. And although the catastrophe is coming, the time can be pushed back a little. As long as Your Highness slows down the pace of unification, you can seize the opportunity to train more people." Ji Ren said.

The script of heaven cannot be reversed, but the timing of the unification of the Shang Dynasty can be manipulated.

This is very important, and he also needs time to practice.

"Delay the arrival of the catastrophe and increase your own strength." King Wei's eyes lit up slightly. Jiejiao had never told him this.

In other words, Jiejiao did not intend to let him develop his own power, but hoped that King Wei would give all the luck to him.

"Yes, luck is very important. All the strong people in this world are fighting for it. In this immortal killing calamity, luck will fall on the two princes one after another, and this is an opportunity for the two princes to develop." Ji Ren said temptingly, "Your Highnesses, do you know that after the last immortal killing calamity, Emperor Zhou successfully killed the Emperor of Heaven and became one of the Eight Saints today, the supreme Emperor of Heaven who rules the three realms? Moreover, not only did he become the Emperor of Heaven, his two brothers also became one of the Four Imperial Gods, Daluo Jinxian. If he can do it, can't you, Your Highnesses?"
