Six hundred years ago, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect failed to cut off their three corpses for fifteen hundred years and fell prey to worldly tribulations, bringing down a deathly calamity upon themselves. So the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Chan Sect, the Tongtian Hierarch of the Jie Sect, and the Grand Supreme Elder of the Human Way used the Investiture of the Gods to deceive the Heavenly Dao’s laws and successfully survive the calamity.
Six hundred years later, the deathly calamity descends once more. It happens to be the final years of the Western Zhou, when Guogong Gu presents the Son of Heaven with the beauty Bao Si.
The situation is strikingly similar to the final years of the Shang under Emperor Xin. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Tongtian Hierarch, and the Grand Supreme Elder therefore conclude that this calamity is closely tied to the fate of the Western Zhou.
At this time, Ji Dong, a 24-year-old young man from Earth, transmigrates and takes over the body of the Zhou ruler, Ji Gongnie.
The entire court is full of treacherous ministers, especially Guogong Gu and Shen Hou.
Unwilling to become a puppet, Ji Dong wants to break free of their control and clear his name as a foolish ruler.
As spiritual energy surges back, the five great vassal states of Qi, Song, Jin, Qin, and Chu use the claim that “the Son of Heaven has forsaken the Way by doting on Bao Si” to break away from the Zhou rites and reject the Zhou royal house as their common ruler.
They seize on the claim that “the Son of Heaven’s favoritism toward Bao Si caused Mount Qi to collapse and the Wei, Jing, and Luo Rivers to dry up” to launch campaigns and annex other states...
The Heavenly Dao resets, and the war to confer sainthood begins!
Disciples of the Chan, Jie, and Human Way sects descend into the mortal realm, throwing in their lot with the great vassal states and helping their warlords carve up the land and overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty...
Not bad, I like it very much
