Chapter 1476: 985 Divine Dao is the Human Path

After Empress Nuwa, came the Human Ancestor and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as well as Jiang Chen’s parents—that Innate Dao Sovereign-level Fierce Beast was prepared for them.

Jiang Chen’s parents, in terms of status, were certainly not comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Human Ancestor.

However, they had a good son. As the saying goes, a child’s fame reflects glory upon the parents. With Jiang Chen’s extraordinary character, his parents would naturally bask in his glory, their status suddenly elevated.

Of course, the main reason was that Jiang Chen’s parents were no longer alive; no one argues with the deceased.

Even if Jiang Chen forcefully elevated his parents’ status to match that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, nobody would say anything. It would be a different matter if Jiang Chen’s parents were still alive.

As the sacrificial ceremony continued, between Heaven and Earth, aside from Jiang Chen’s parents, the legal likenesses of the Human Ancestor and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors successively manifested, each bestowing blessings onto the Qian Dynasty.

After sacrificing to the Human Ancestor, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the parents came the sacrifice for the sages of the Human Race from all generations—for them, the Innate Dao Monarch level Fierce Beasts were prepared.

When the offerings were presented, the figures of the Human Race’s sages manifested and duly blessed the Qian Dynasty.

Lastly, came the sacrifice to the heroic spirits of the Human Race, those forebears who fell for the rise of the Human Race. Their contributions to the Human Race were indelible and deserved to be honored by future generations. The beasts below the level of a Dao Monarch were prepared for them.

The profound art of sacrifice lies here: even though the heroes of the Human Race have perished long ago, the power generated by the sacrifices might, through the subtle connections of the unknown, strengthen their reincarnated selves.

For those being sacrificed to, as long as they have not completely vanished, the offerings will inevitably bless them, bringing various enhancements.

...

Thus, the sacrificial ceremony in the great hall came to an end. The Qian Dynasty’s national fortune, having just taken shape not long ago, nearly soared tenfold after successively receiving blessings from Heaven and Earth, Empress Nuwa, the Human Ancestor, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the sages and heroes of past generations.

From afar, the originally pure golden national fortune had now transformed into a mix of azure, purple, and gold; majestic and honorable, it inspired thoughts of subservience in those who beheld it.

The change in color represented a qualitative transformation in the Qian Dynasty’s national fortune, suggesting that if its strength was previously at most on par with that of a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection level,

then at this moment, the might of the Qian Dynasty’s national fortune was already comparable to that of Great Divine Transcendents, having ascended an entire tier. It was evident that Jiang Chen’s heavenly sacrifice was not without effect; rather, it yielded immense rewards.

Not all dynasties, upon their establishment, are simultaneously recognized by Heaven and Earth, the Mother of the Human Race, the Human Ancestor, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the sages and heroes of past generations.

Not to mention others, even the Xia, Shang, and Zhou—the three mightiest dynasties of the Human Race—only received recognition from Heaven and Earth and did not secure approval from Empress Nuwa, the Human Ancestor, much less the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the sages and heroes of past generations.

What is called a dynasty is essentially turning the public realm into a familial realm, sorting the clan into ranks; how could it possibly gain approval from the Human Race’s forebears?

The Qian Dynasty alone, upon its very establishment, received the acknowledgment of the entire upper echelon of the Human Race. Because Jiang Chen’s purpose in establishing the Qian Dynasty was to correct the disordered and revert the familial realm back to the public realm.

In the future, when Jiang Chen steps down, the new Qian Emperor will not be succeeded by Jiang Chen’s son but rather, the entirety of the Human Race, with all its people eligible to compete for the position of the Supreme Sovereign of the Human Race.

Of course, the position of the Human Race’s Supreme Sovereign is indeed very enticing, but Jiang Chen believes, should he have a son in the future, he might not necessarily covet this position.

Because the future has already proven that his son is exceedingly excellent, a Primordial Dao Master transcending Heaven and Earth.

...

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Han Dynasty is now history. Today, as a solitary king, I have unified the Vast Universe and established the Qian Dynasty. Do you harbor any resentment in your hearts?"

After the sacrifice to Heaven and Earth’s Ancestors, Jiang Chen lowered his head, sweeping a look over the crowd on the mountain, and spoke in a measured tone.

It can be said that, at this moment, all forces within the Human Race had all converged here to join Jiang Chen in the sacrificial rites to Heaven and Earth’s Ancestors.

After all, Jiang Chen was still the Human King; any force with a Golden Immortal in command had to participate in his sacrifice to the Ancestors. To not participate was to be regarded as disloyal and unfilial, and if Jiang Chen had struck them down, it would have been well deserved.

"Your Majesty’s divine might surpasses all, dominating Heaven and Earth. Your ascension to emperorship is truly our fortune, the fortune of all under Heaven!"

As Jiang Chen’s voice faded, the crowd below immediately knelt down in great numbers, speaking eagerly and passionately.

"To congratulate Your Majesty, to congratulate our great Qian!"

Below the mountain, an even more resounding surge of voices could be heard, and even from farther places, there were voices coming to felicitate His Majesty.

One hundred and eight mirrors hung in the sky, clearly presenting everything that was happening here right before all of the people of the Nine States.

At this very moment, the people of the Nine States cheered in unison; the voices were not loud, but the power released at that time made the faces of all the strong under Heaven change drastically.

Boom, boom, boom!

With the thunderous voices continuing to echo, Heaven and Earth themselves trembled, as endless willpower surged out from within the people, converged mid-air into rivers of golden willpower, and roared mightily towards the national fortune.

National fortune, national fortune!

It’s not just about fate but also encompasses the aspiration of all beings. Thus, Jiang Chen said, the Divine Dao is born out of the Human Path’s dynasties.

For the power produced by the amalgamation of the aspiration of all beings with fate is the very foundation of the Divine Dao. If Jiang Chen were to confer titles upon gods, what he would expend would be this kind of power.
