Chapter 526: Chapter 510: You Know Too Much!_2

It was none other than the Yi Clan’s ruler, Chunhu’s husband Mianchen!

"Wang Ziye, meet your death!"

His eyes red, he flung aside the gauzy canopy over the bed, and thoroughly dismembered the Shang King, who had already lost the ability to resist.

In the end, he became "Wang Hai’s Corpse: both arms, both thighs, chest, head, and teeth each broken and separated, with two heads and six bodies!"

That is to say, his head was horizontally chopped in half below the nose; the head and teeth were separated, thus called "two heads"; both arms, both thighs, and the torso, along with the chopped-off head, made "six bodies."

This was also the most tragic death among all the twelve Ancient Corpses.

Mianchen clearly hated him to the extreme.

"My Lord!"

And there, clutching the silk quilt and cowering at the foot of the bed, was the beautiful Chunhu, crying as though she had suffered great grievances, throwing herself into her husband’s arms.

Although this Nine-Tailed Fox varied in appearance from Nvjiao, that nation-toppling beauty was in no way inferior, still turning the bloodstained ax into a gentle caress around one’s finger.

What was even stranger was that they both seemed to possess an identical and unique aura!

Exquisitely beautiful yet chillingly haunting to anyone who beheld her.

Mianchen, however, didn’t realize this at all, quickly soothing his beloved wife with gentle words, hating the Shang King even more for taking advantage of Chunhu.

He was utterly unaware of the trouble he would face after killing him.

Wang Yuan and the others also received a piece of information:

"Shang Prince Ziye fornicated in the land of Yi and was killed by Yi’s ruler Mianchen, then cast out."

Prince Ziye was killed by Mianchen when he came to Yi for business, and his body was banished afterward.

The death of Wang Hai also marked the end of the first confrontation between paternal and maternal powers, as well as "secular power" and "religious power."

Wang Yuan knew.

In the era of maternal power, humans revered women’s ability to give birth, considering it a sacred and irreplaceable act exclusive to women.

And the matter of the state was in sacrifices and warfare.

Women leveraged this sanctity to become priests, monopolizing the power to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and the Undying Tree.

But after the transition to a Family World, as the Human Dao developed, paternal power and secular forces also began to awaken.

The typical representatives, one was the paternalistic system represented by Yin Shang, the other was the maternalistic system represented by Xia.

Yin Shang had transitioned to a "paternal society," where wives followed their husbands, obtaining exclusive rights to women through the form of bridal gifts and wealth.

But Yi and many clans that pledged loyalty to Xia were still in a "maternal society," where women who performed sacrificial duties held higher status, and practiced a system where husbands followed their wives.

The first clash of these two powers seemed to have come to an end with the tragic death of Shang Prince Ziye.

But reality had already told Wang Yuan and Huang Wu that the Human Dao Torrent was unstoppable, and the replacement of maternal power by paternal power was only a matter of time.

"The first time, in the struggle between Public World and Family World, Xia Qi, supported by the Nine-Tailed Fox, won.

But the second time, in the struggle between paternal power and maternal power, the Nine-Tailed Fox was destined to lose!"

Flap flap——!

Immediately after, a swarm of [Calamity Butterflies] swept through, ignoring the other Ancient Corpses, and rushed them rapidly into [Xia Geng’s Corpse]’s dream realm.

For the same reason, this "Xia Geng" was clearly a descendant of [Erfu Corpse] Xia Qi.

The answers they sought seemed to be within reach already.

The glittering and splendid Xia Royal Palace.

Below, a group of Dancing Girls, clad in thin silk and revealing bewitching figures, danced gracefully, while above, a robust King, entertained himself with another Nine-Tailed Fox in his arms.

"My great King, Meixi has performed a divination today, and the Holy Mother is very pleased with this ten-thousand-person Blood Sacrifice. She specially bestows the Undying Elixir to wish the great King a long life. Please drink this cup of Immortality Wine to the full!"

"Haha, my beloved concubine is truly my great benefactor!"

Upon seeing this woman, a piece of information entered the ears of Wang Yuan and the others.

"There’s the charming Meixi, with clear features. Adorned in dazzling garments, she moves like a gentle breeze. Her radiance is like dew, the object of people’s affection."

This Meixi looked different from Nvjiao and Chunhu, yet her power to allure was not the slightest bit inferior.

While pouring the wine, one Fox Tail quietly wrapped around the Xia King’s leg, gently caressing it.

Unable to resist, the Xia King surrendered both body and soul, and under the Nine-Tailed Fox’s "giggle" of laughter, he swept the stunning beauty onto a table, engaging in a fierce bout of lovemaking for all to see.

As was evident, they squandered the people’s wealth, built extravagant palaces, fashioned jade terraces; the people could not bear the hardship...

The true identity of this [Xia Geng’s Corpse] was none other than the last king of the Xia Dynasty—Xia Jie!

Time flew by in the dream realm.

In an instant, war broke out, and Shang King Cheng Tang led his troops to slay Xia Jie.

"A man without a head, still wielding spear and shield, is named: Xia Geng’s Corpse."

[Xia Geng’s Corpse] thus took its place, and the Shang Dynasty was established.

With this, humanity’s second great transformation took place. Paternal power completely triumphed over maternal power, and secular power for the first time overshadowed religious power.

Or rather, it overshadowed the ancient [Heavenly Official] who had appeared by that time, representing undying and fertility—the West King Holy Mother!

The two stood in this bizarre and secret-filled Lost Layer, sighing deeply.

"I knew this pattern seemed too familiar.

During Emperor Mu’s time, the West King Holy Mother’s avatar took the stage herself, entering into a legendary romance with Emperor Mu.

Before that, there was no such organizational form as ’Peach God Tao’ in the world.

These Nine-Tailed Foxes serving as priestesses might be some related Weird or Gui Immortal, the medium through which she interfered with or even controlled the course of the Mortal World.

This Heavenly Official understands ’nation-felling beauty’: with the beauty in hand, the walls fall, and the nation collapses—in the blink of an eye!"
