Honghuang: The Measuring-Heavens Ruler Takes Form, Master of the Divine Dao

Shang Heng transmigrated into the primordial world and became the Hongmeng Merit Measuring Ruler.

At the time, the Wu and Demon Clans were locked in a struggle for supremacy. The mighty saw all living beings as ants, while the Saints treated Heaven and Earth as a game board. Though the primordial world had heavenly laws, no one enforced them. Everyone spoke of karmic consequences, yet in the end, justice still went to whoever had the strongest fists.

Shang Heng merged with Pangu's inheritance of order and forged a mythic path of law.

He established military laws for the Wu Clan, laid down Ten Covenants for humanity, built the Underworld for the dead, and wrote heavenly laws for the immortals and gods of the myriad heavens.

A single decree could suppress demons.

A single judgment could strip away one's fortune.

One legal code was enough to remake the order of the primordial world.

Then the Cataclysm of Investiture came. As the Saints prepared to sign the Investiture of the Gods, Shang Heng raised the Measuring Ruler and unfurled the Code of the Myriad Clans.

"Today, no one is being invested as a god."

"First, we'll put the disciples of the Saints on trial!"
