I haven't finished watching it yet, but I have some personal opinions.
First, the divine right of kings and the Son of Heaven are not the same concept. The "Heaven" of the Son of Heaven refers to Heaven and Earth, the Way of Heaven, not the Heavenly Court. If the divine right of kings were true, then a unified empire would not have existed. After all, if Yuanshi could appoint a Son of Heaven, why couldn't Tongtian? Wouldn't Zhunti also want to join in?
Can Yin Jiao drain Yuanshi Tianzun dry? 😏
I'm really curious if the protagonist will be terrified if he travels back to the Shang Dynasty and witnesses human sacrifice, since human sacrifice was a unique feature of the Shang Dynasty.
I'll change my name to Yin Jiao, and I'll start by draining the Primordial Heavenly Venerable dry.
King Zhou actually knew what Zhuge Liang was thinking!
I don't read any novels about the Investiture of the Gods that side with the Shang Dynasty; they're basically asking for trouble. There are six sages in total (excluding Hongjun), and you're standing against five of them—how can you possibly win?
You're just trying to learn a royal-level scripture? I don't believe sages and Hongjun couldn't foresee it? You're just a prince, not the Human Emperor. Your karma isn't so great that a sage couldn't crush you. Don't ask why you'd be crushed; you're a sage of the Heavenly Dao. You're practically overturning my table, so I can't just give up and act recklessly.
The more I read this book, the less it felt right. I didn't get the "Investiture of the Gods" vibe; it felt like a Frankenstein's monster. At the beginning, it said humanity relied on self-reliance, not heaven or earth. Then later it said human destiny and fortune were answered by heaven and earth. It felt like a double standard.
They revealed their hand too quickly, lacking the ability to back it up. They're courting death.
Here's a suggestion for the author: your deification is based on human compassion, so it doesn't need to be the same as the original. The greater the contribution to the Shang Dynasty, the higher the divine rank should be. This would be more beneficial to you.
