Chapter 137: As Bright as a Shooting Star! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
[Even after many eons, even though the Heavenly Palace had been established, everyone still missed the ancestor of all spirits who was as dazzling as a meteor! ]

[Yes, shooting star.]

[It suddenly rose, suddenly shone, and suddenly fell at the peak. How could it not be a shooting star? 】

[The blazing light of the meteor cut through the eternal barbarism and silence, and lit up the direction of civilization. It even illuminated the dark era of the three ancient ancestors with its life at the critical moment of life and death, and saved all souls from the abyss of uncertain future. ]

[Many years later, the Emperor of Heaven, Di Jun, followed the order of the Taoist Ancestor and established the tripod in the Heavenly Palace with the orthodox immortal way. At the first moment of establishing the tripod, the Emperor of Heaven openly announced that he was the godson and successor of the will of the common ancestor of all spirits, whom he had never met, in order to win the hearts of the people! ]

[Nothing else, just because the signboard of the common ancestor of all spirits is too useful. The great and glorious ancestor died at the right time, and it is impossible for him to crawl out and say that he has no such relative. In addition, more than 80% of the creatures in the world are descendants of the common ancestor of all spirits. Although the Emperor of Heaven's move is suspected of flattering himself, his political purpose is very clear.]

[In fact, it is very useful. The Emperor of Heaven only took out the Golden Crow True Fire to show it off, and many ancient things burst into tears. The Emperor of Heaven did not need to use too many means, and the ancient forces that were separatist in various places surrendered, making it easy for the Emperor of Heaven to achieve the great cause of unification! ]

[After the unification of the Heavenly Court, the Emperor of Heaven, in order to demonstrate his legitimacy, further praised the Ancestor of All Spirits. Not only did he recognize him as his godfather, he also frequently carried out various sacrificial activities, worshipping the Ancestor of All Spirits together with the Ancestor of Taoism...]

[Anyway, the Heavenly Emperor wants to fully establish the orthodoxy of the immortal way, and the orthodoxy of the common ancestor of all spirits. The Heavenly Emperor also wants to fully establish it, fully! Really fully! ]

[After winning the hearts of the people, the Emperor of Heaven abolished the classification of various tribes in the name of carrying forward the "great cause of equality" of the common ancestor of all spirits. Regardless of the descendants of the common ancestor of all spirits or the remnants of the three tribes, they were all collectively referred to as the "demon tribe". The demon tribe was officially established and stepped onto the stage of prehistoric history! ]

[It is precisely because your signboard is so useful that the Heavenly Court has infinitely elevated and praised you...]

[In the writings of the Heavenly Court historians, you are a sage with infinite brilliance and selflessness, with no black spots in your life, as if you were born to save the common people, and were born into the world with the will of the giant god who created the world...]

[But among the general public, there is another saying: The Ancestor of All Spirits is not that powerful, he actually has a lot of problems! ]

[The reasons are as follows. For example, the Ancestor of All Spirits only enlightened all spirits but failed to bring civilization and order. He even neglected his duties for a time. The people under his rule were in a terrible state. If it weren't for the Dao Ancestor's help in educating people, his rule would probably be worse than the slavery of the Three Ancestors...]

[The reason for this problem is that the ancestor of all spirits has great ambitions but little talent. Although he is great and needs no further explanation, his political talent is average, and his kind and weak character does not make him suitable for a high position.]

[In general, the Ancestor of All Spirits did make great contributions, but he was not without flaws. It can even be said that he was an incompetent and unqualified leader! ]

[Although the above statements are a bit harsh, they are actually fair... while some of the statements are too harsh. ]

[For example, Luohou, this chaotic and evil nobleman, once mixed with the common ancestor of all spirits, and Luohou was weaker than him and had always been a lackey. How could Luohou suddenly slaughter all living beings without the tacit consent of the common ancestor of all spirits? ]

[Also, at the end of the four-tribe war, the Ancestor of All Spirits was suddenly attacked by Luohou and seriously injured. However, not long after, he was able to fight the three ancestors again and even killed them in a row. Although he had the assistance of Daozu, this is too outrageous, isn't it? ]

[You are so seriously injured that you can't control Luohou's killing behavior, how can you come down from heaven and strike three people with one blow? This is really Schrodinger's serious injury, right! ]

[Also, what role did Daozu play in this? Did he know about it? If he knew, why did you wait until Luohou stabbed the ancestor to death before you came out to clean up the mess? What on earth are you hiding...]

[“Drag him out!”]

[The Heavenly Official who came to destroy the "large rumor-mongering den" wiped a cold sweat. Looking at the group of ancient scholars who were being pressed to the ground by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, he shouted angrily: Traitors! Be honest! Send them to the Demon Slaying Platform one by one!]

[So another small organization that studies ancient history was wiped out by the Heavenly Court’s iron fist…]

Heavenly Court, Yaochi.

The Emperor Dijun, who had just taken office, was reviewing memorials and listening to the reports from the Heavenly Officials:
"Your Majesty, this [Rumor-Suppression Order] has destroyed more than 300 rumor dens, arrested 3,208 old thieves who claimed to be [Ancient History Scholars], and seized more than one million volumes of various false and unofficial histories. Your Majesty, please decide how to deal with them."

Di Jun didn't even raise his head and said calmly:

"Those who violate the law will be beheaded and all the books will be burned."

what? !

The Tianguan was stunned.

We are not fools. We all know something about whether these scholars are spreading rumors or not. Although it sounds harsh and the historical materials they analyze and research are not official history, there is generally nothing wrong with what these scholars say.

There are indeed many doubts about the ancient times, and many things cannot be concluded with final conclusions...

Moreover, the crimes of these criminals did not reach the death penalty standards in the Heavenly Laws, but the Emperor of Heaven did not even give them a trial, but directly beheaded them and burned their books. The sentence was really too heavy.

Not only was the sentence too heavy, the procedure was not quite right. In other words, the Emperor of Heaven was abusing his power...

"Any questions?"

Seeing that the Heavenly Official was in a daze, Di Jun asked in a friendly manner, as if he was really asking him for advice.

Tianguan was sweating all over!
"As your majesty commands!"

"Ah."

After the Heavenly Official left Yaochi in a sweat, Emperor Jun put down his imperial pen and sighed softly.

How could he not know that this was wrong?

But he had no choice!
Ever since the death of the common ancestor of all spirits, the four clans, which already had deep hatred for each other, went completely crazy, and wars of all sizes never stopped.

Moreover, after the death of all the ancestors of the four clans, the core power of the four clans lost control, and the myriad spirits that were forcibly held together by the ancestors were quickly shattered. There were endless wars in all parts of the prehistoric world, and the only surviving Taoist was obsessed with practicing Taoism and never cared about worldly affairs. Even if the world was torn to pieces, he could still sit still.

By the time Daozu had achieved sainthood through hard work and preached in Zixiao Palace, it had already been hundreds of epochs...

Now that I have been fortunate enough to be ordered to establish the Heavenly Palace, I must not only achieve unity in military force, but also in ideology!

This is how the abstract thing of Di Jun forcing Jiao Ming to be his adoptive father came about...

And recognizing a godfather is only one part of the strategy. He also has to strike hard against those old guys from ancient times.

People should be killed and books should be burned!

They also have to buff Jiao Ming and Hongjun over and over again, try their best to praise political idiots as political geniuses, and try their best to characterize those with questionable positions as great and glorious. Anyone who dares to jump out to oppose will be smashed to death with an iron fist.

In short, as the common ancestor of all spirits and the ancestor of Taoism, the image of the Heavenly Court must always be pure!

However, Di Jun sometimes thinks back to the past:

Ancestor Jiao Ming should be the one who caused the inexplicable feeling among the three siblings.

At that time, the three of them chattered and thought he was their relative. However, after leaving the Sun Star and coming to the prehistoric land, they found out that Ancestor Jiao Ming was not the Golden Crow at all, and was not even born sacred.

It's just the most common little firebird in the Southern Wilderness.

But the question is, how did a little firebird get the real fire exclusive to the Golden Crow?
Anyway, Di Jun never figured it out.

Also, when the Taoist Patriarch first preached, he stared at himself strangely for a long time, as if he wanted to match his appearance with someone else.

Before finally accepting a disciple, the Taoist once tested his ability to govern. At that time, he thought it was a test for accepting a disciple, so he answered questions excitedly and fluently, showing the demeanor of a wise master!

As a result, Daozu decisively confiscated him as a disciple and only gave him the legitimacy of the throne of the Heavenly Emperor...

Now think about it, if I answer the questions deliberately, can I be accepted as an apprentice?

Uh... I kind of regret it...

Di Jun felt a little regretful, but he didn't care too much. After all, accepting a disciple didn't mean anything. Compared with being a disciple of the Taoist Patriarch in name only, the position of the powerful Emperor of Heaven was more attractive!

Emperor Jun couldn't help but sigh:

If it weren't for the Taoist master's instructions, I would still be playing house on the Sun Star.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with playing house on the Sun Star, but the position of the Emperor of Heaven is much more open to me...

That was all he wanted to do. Di Jun continued to review the memorials. Since Daozu had given him this opportunity, he must not let him down.

There is still a lot of hard work required to govern this newly reconciled primitive world!
……

[You are dead. The wrong choice led to the wrong ending... Your character and talent are not enough to support you in holding the highest position of power. The fact that you ended up like this is determined by your strength and character...]

[You are not the Third Patriarch, so you cannot treat all living beings as worthless. ]

[You are not Hongjun either, you cannot carry the darkness and step into the light. ]

[To you, the world is simple. You either live a pure and flawless life or you destroy yourself. You cannot tolerate black or gray.]

[You are like a sun, burning your enemies to death and then burning yourself to death.]

[You are like a shooting star, with a short life but leaving a brilliant wake! ]

[Your achievements will be branded in the hearts of all living beings and on Pangu's body until the heaven and earth are extinguished.]

[At the same time, your shortcomings will also be recorded and become a topic of conversation for future generations... although talking about it may be a little illegal...]

[Summary: You have not been able to change the most fundamental contradiction in your life, so history has continued along its original trajectory, but your various actions have also greatly changed the future.]

[The descendants of the three tribes have become a minority, and your descendants are the majority, so the slavery left over from the ancient times is much lighter than in the original history, which is more conducive to Emperor Jun's promotion of equality among all tribes. The concept of "demon tribe" will also be more easily rooted in people's hearts. ]

[But in this world, there is no Sun Jin Tiandi from the East China Sea to uphold justice, so conflicts between demons and humans will still break out... But this has nothing to do with you. After all, you are an ancient person and do not need to care about these things that are too far in the future.]

[In short, you have changed a lot, but not everything, so the evaluation is: "Medium"! ]

[Ding! You have collected enough information in this round of simulation, and this round of simulation has been fully completed! ]

[This round of simulation has ended, returning to the initial node...]
