Chapter 347 - 305: Fuxi Falls Into a Trap
Chi Songzi, while cultivating in Shennong’s Secret Realm, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a long howl that shook the Eight Desolates, astonishingly achieving Semi-Saint status.
Since the creation of heaven and earth, he had practiced the true orthodoxy of the Mystic Sect, and now, having reached Semi-Saint status, he understood the connection between Heaven and humans, above and below, with no place he couldn’t go.
"I must assassinate Huang Taiji to extend the National Destiny of Great Ming, to prevent the Qing Dynasty from entering the pass! Exterminate the entire Aisin Gioro clan," Chi Songzi calculated with a flick of his fingers and said solemnly.
Fuxi used the Bagua to conceal the divine predestination, so these rebellious words were not detected by the Heavenly Dao.
Fuxi said, "If you go to assassinate Huang Taiji, this is an act against Heaven and will be intolerable to the Heavenly Dao!"
But Chi Songzi replied, "With the Qing Dynasty entering the pass, the people will be in dire straits, the National Destiny in ruins, the common people reduced to misery! As a Right-hand Minister from ancient times, I cannot sit idly by. In ancient times, I was in charge of the timing and advantages of the earth, controlling the four seasons, and was deeply loved by the people! Although it is no longer the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Southern Toad Continent is, after all, the foundation of the Human Path. How could I sit by and do nothing? Since the fall of the National Destiny and the collapse of the Human Path after the Qing soldiers enter the pass, intervention is a must! If I can’t kill the Son of Heaven’s Mandate who created the Age of Dharma Decline, then I’ll kill Huang Taiji and stop this history!"
The last time Chi Songzi thought of killing the Son of Heaven’s Mandate, he received a warning from the Heavenly Intent, and now he didn’t dare harbor such thoughts again. However, he was set on assassinating Huang Taiji.
Chi Songzi, a high-ranking official from ancient times, who maintained peace and prosperity for the Southern Toad Continent, now saw National Destiny falter at the hands of barbarians, the Human Path collapsing. How could he stand by and do nothing? Even if it meant sacrificing all his Cultivation, he was resolved to prevent the Qing Dynasty from passing the gate.
After the Qing Dynasty sealed off the country, the barbarians of Yingzhou would invade, forcing the gate open, pushing the Qing to cede land in search of peace, and then the barbarians of various countries would enter and occupy territories, causing even greater turmoil in national fate. Afterward, the Son of Heaven’s Mandate would unite the Human Path and usher in the Age of Dharma Decline. However, the ones in power would be even more ruthless, with corrupt officials rampant, and the people would suffer under oppression, plunged into dire straits.
Fuxi and others took the Human Path as their duty. Naturally, they did not wish to see it collapse, but the course of the Heavenly Dao was irreversible, a trend of destiny.
By now, Nurhaci had died, and Yuan Chonghuan, the last hope of Ming Dynasty’s fate, had also perished. Emperor Chongzhen, despite his diligence, was unable to stem the tide, for the state of Great Ming had utterly collapsed, full of holes, having been ruined by the dynasty of Emperors of the Zhu family. Even if Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Wu of Han were to be reincarnated, it would be impossible to turn things around.
