        Fu Xi deduced twice using the River Map and Luo Book: "It seems there are three candidates."

    "Oh?" Deng Chanyu immediately became interested. She only remembered one Bo Yincao, and the other two she really didn't know.

    "Dear nephew, please take a look."

    Fu Xi let her see the results of the River Map and the Luo Book herself.

    The three figures were all blurry, and from a distance, it seems that one can see a bit of starlight. The fate of these three people is extraordinary.

    Deng Chanyu cast her divine essence inside and combined it with the point of the source Starlight within her body to re-enact the event.

    The first one she could easily recognize. She knew the answer, Bo Yincao, the eldest son of Ji Chang and was originally titled the Purple Imperial Lord in the original time.

    She stared at the second one for a long time and thought it might be Li Jing, guessing that if Li Jing was on the list, he would be one of the candidates for this Emperor.

    Li Jing's wife is Lady Yin, and as the surname suggests, the Li family and King Zhou are related; they are not commoners.

    originally Li Jing had already escaped the great calamity of the formation of gods, and he had cultivated himself step by step to become the degree of Toad God. Now that he is in Han country, he has no opportunities to fight on the battlefield, so his safety is not a problem during this period. He is more like a runner-up, and there is no need for him to be overly concerned.

    The last one Deng Chanyu couldn't identify, but vaguely she felt she had seen him before. However, the number of people she had seen was too large to remember them all.

    Her good friend, the Yellow Emperor, reminded her: "People with such a destiny should have similar experiences; their identity is extremely high, and they could never be common laborers."

    When it comes to the topic of imperial destiny, the three experts in the Fire Cloud Cave are professionals and have more comprehensive knowledge than Nuwa. Their help to Deng Chanyu is very significant.

    Bo Yincao, Li Jing, and one more mysterious person whose identity is unknown. This thing hangs in the air, and it really makes the heart uncomfortable.

    Deng Chanyu did not return to the princess' mansion to play Mahjong, but instead roamed around the city of Nandu.

    She could feel it, the amount of calamity energy was becoming heavier and heavier. If she encountered this situation in the early stages of the formation of gods, with her Quantian Cimeter, she might be able to deduce some results. However, at this time, everything in front of her was chaotic and she couldn't see anything at all.

    To rely on guessing? How can one guess this?

    Many high-status nobles actually have similar status and experiences to Bo Yincao and Li Jing. According to her understanding, Wu Zǐ, Ji Gēzi, Bīgān, Deng Xiù, and Xu Yīshēng are all similar. It's difficult to determine who is a candidate for the Purple Imperial Lord.

    Besides the Eastern Sea, the whole Hóngxiāng was quiet. The great beings were thinking about the position of sainthood. The immortals lived their own little life as usual, and the world also stopped fighting due to the previous drought disaster. Although it was in a period of great calamity, the whole world presented a peaceful picture of peace and prosperity.

    With the advantages of fish and salt, and the convenience of boats and ships, King Jǐ Huanchu had been reigning over Qi for several years and had gradually subdued the former Eastern Twenty-two feudal lords.

    Jiang Zitai of the Zhou country's governing ability is undeniable. There was a popular uprising on his side as well, but there were few killings. Those ordinary people were eventually taken to build roads and canals. Bo Yincao frequently transported large quantities of cattle, sheep, and other livestock from northwest Jin City to Zhou country. Overall, the state was running smoothly.

    The Han country is vast and abundant, and the soldiers and generals can fight. They often go to fight the barbarians, transferring domestic contradictions onto the external world.

    Only the central land of the grand merchants lacked strategic depth, and particularly King Zhou was a tyrant. All rebellious elements were indiscriminately executed, regardless of their situation, using methods such as torch burning, chameleon pits, and the like. In the end, those who remained were forced to repair temples and build towers. The national strength of Shang country plummeted. Despite this, he himself still believed that everything was fine.

    King Zhou, under the instigation of Feizhong and Youhun, grandly worshipped his ancestors, after which he prayed for their protection and for them to send down several war gods, martial gods, or killing gods to help him subdue the Zhou country.

    originally King Zhou had also considered seeking help from the Buddha, but he always had some uncertainty and thought that doing so seemed wrong. He consoled himself by thinking that the Buddha was meant to bless his next life, so he should rely on his ancestors this lifetime.

    The air of destiny for the grand merchants had long been declining. Qi, Zhou, and Han have at least divided more than half of the destiny of Yin Shang. Adding to this, King Zhou's behavior was against the grain, causing a significant decline in his destiny.

    The ancestors heard his call and tried to respond, but due to a lack of destiny, the summoned result was immediately thrown off course, drifting ten thousand eight thousand miles away.

    Zhou country

    ,Xiqi city.

    The Ma family believes that her husband is the Prime Minister, the Prime Father, and the father of Ji Fa. Whether he is second to none is uncertain, but he is certainly above everyone else.

    She had no idea of placing multiple bets like before. She forcefully expelled the craftsmen from Han country. Who is Deng Chanyu? She doesn't know! She wore silk, drank jade liquid and jade essence, and lived the life of a wealthy woman.

    The Ma family was already overweight, and now, after eating and drinking excessively every day, she became even fatter.

    Many officials in Zhou country, including Jiang Ziyu, accepted some of her behaviors as long as they didn't interfere with politics. As long as she was not interfering with governance, acting arrogant and boasting during her daily life would not be a problem.

    Today, the Ma family also went out in a litter. Just as the litter stepped out of the Xiangfu, it was blocked by beggars who appeared out of nowhere.

    The beggar was as thin as a rake, wearing tattered clothes, and holding a broken bowl that contained some leftover porridge that smelled so unpleasant it made one want to vomit.

    "What kind of disgusting beggar are you? Get out of the way!"

    The Ma family detested the beggars who had much lower social status than her. She always shouted at them herself to fulfill her sense of pride as someone superior.

    The beggar wore a tattered bamboo hat, his eyes squinting into a thin line. He looked at the Ma family with a peculiar gaze and said with a smile, "You are born to be poor."

    "Filthy beggar! Get away!"

    The Ma family didn't like to be called poor. She cursed from her litter, while the beggar laughed and walked into a nearby alleyway.

    As the team walked less than a hundred steps, Ma Zhi suddenly found that something was wrong with her money bag. When she opened it, she found that her money bag was actually empty.

    The litter attendants, guards, personal assistants, and serving maids also one after another expressed that they had lost their money. Some lost one-third of their money, while others lost half. Only Ma Zhi had all of hers gone completely.

    She hadn't paid much attention to it at first.

    However, by the evening of that day, a fire broke out at the Xiangfu, and all of the silk that the Ma family had accumulated over many years, which she had been reluctant to use, was burned to ashes.

    The next day, the Xiangfu was robbed again, resulting in a significant loss of copper coins. On the third day, Marquis Nan Gongshi's carriage suddenly lost control and drove straight into the Xiangfu's main gate, causing it to fly out and collapse two storerooms.

    Ma Zhi was not a person who was as clueless as she could be. After all, she had been taken to the Kunlun Mountains by Deng Chanyu, and had gained some knowledge. Upon detecting something amiss, she immediately sent someone to find Jiang Ziyu at the Bishui Pass.

    Jiang Ziyu listened to her description and asked, "Did you see the beggar coming from which direction?"

    Ma Zhi thought carefully, "It seems like he came from the west."

    "What kind of thing is that beggar?" Ma Zhi asked angrily, but with a hint of timidity.

    Jiang Ziyu's face was serious, and he stroked his beard and said, "If my guess is correct, that should be the impoverished god of Huan Xus, who was exiled from the Shenzhou lands at an early age."
