The Golden Light Mother was shocked and quickly withdrew all her magic power. Only then did she understand why Master Tongtian asked everyone to return to Jin'ao Island.

After the catastrophe, the human world becomes too dangerous for practitioners. If they are not careful, ten thousand years of cultivation will be destroyed.

In order to avoid being contaminated by the troubles of the worldly world as much as possible, the Holy Mother of Golden Light had to give up activating the magic weapon. She just fell from the sky and walked towards Chaoge step by step with her two legs.

If only Master Wen and the four great princes were deified, then for ordinary people, this would just be an honor unique to high-ranking officials and would have very limited influence.

In order to encourage more people to contribute their strength to the deification, especially those "time travelers", Su Xiaomeng specially arranged a small deification ceremony in each town.

This time, the gods who were conferred titles were not the 365 main gods on the List of Gods, but minor gods such as the God of Land and the God of City.

Although it sounds insignificant, for ordinary people who do not have the ability to practice, it is a power that they dare not imagine, not to mention the increased lifespan.

In order to better stimulate the discussion and lure those time travelers to show up, so that they can give up the good things they brought with them when they traveled through time, Su Xiaomeng specially used Su Yu to successfully tame the white-feathered chicken and named her the Angri Star Official.

Immediately afterwards, Su Xiaomeng announced that there would be another round of assessments to decide the next batch of gods based on the amount of contribution to the country and the human race.

As soon as the words fell, everyone was excited. Countless wealthy businessmen, nobles and officials, in order to get a chance to be deified, began to help ordinary people in the territory at all costs, to help them fill their stomachs and get out of poverty and become rich.

"Goddess!" A maid who had been following Su Xiaomeng silently spoke carefully, "They don't really want to benefit the people. They just want to become gods. This is not good."

Su Xiaomeng didn't care: "What's wrong with that? Judging by deeds, not hearts, no one is perfect. The Investiture of the Gods is not a one-time deal. If they become gods and the people are resentful, they will still be removed from the Investiture of the Gods and become ordinary people again."

"I, we can actually supervise the gods?"

The maid couldn't believe her ears.

"Of course, gods exist only when there are believers. If believers stop worshipping them, no matter how powerful a creature is, it will eventually fall."

What happened next was similar to what Su Xiaomeng had planned. There were indeed time travelers who brought some very good seeds such as potatoes and corn.

Among these people, a large number originally planned to surrender to the Western Zhou Dynasty in order to get an official position.

But now that the Shang Dynasty had established the List of Gods ahead of time and successfully deified them, these people all changed their targets immediately without any prior agreement.

Rather than being an ordinary official in the ancient times when people were short of food and clothing, it was better to join the Shang Dynasty and become a god directly.

Not to mention that the Shang Dynasty was defeated by the Western Zhou Dynasty in the original novel. If you have traveled through time and space and don’t want to change history, you are not a time traveler.

With the blessing of a large number of high-yield crops, the national fortune of Da Shang continued to rise. Su Xiaomeng was very happy, and was pulling Su Yu and Ye Jiamu to discuss when to let Da Shang declare war on Western Zhou and completely resolve the issue of the Conferred Gods.

Su Xiaomeng suddenly received a message from Nuwa.

"Xiao Mengmeng, you are in big trouble. Jie Yin and Zhunti are almost finding out about you. These two old guys are shameless. I can't beat them. In order to prevent them from discovering the truth, I will attack you directly."

"Hurry up and think of a way to do something bad to show them that I sent you to destroy the fate of the Shang Dynasty, not to help them."

Su Xiaomeng quickly went over what Su Daji had done in The Investiture of the Gods and showed a confident and cute expression.

"Nuwa, this is very simple. Just leave it to me!"

Nuwa wanted to say something, but she sensed unusual movements outside the Nuwa Palace and was forced to cut off contact with Su Xiaomeng.

In order to avoid being eavesdropped, Su Xiaomeng and Su Yu discussed with the others and went straight to Shouxian Palace, where they found Emperor Xin, who was holding his concubine and drinking and having fun, and got straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, we have recently appointed so many gods, and coupled with the expenditure on disaster relief, the national treasury is running out of money and grain. In order to achieve sustainable development, I think we must find a way to save money and increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Emperor Xin humbly accepted the advice: "You are right, Mengmeng, what do you think I should do?"

"My lord," Su Xiaomeng pointed to the empty space outside and said, "Shouxian Palace is so big, and there is so much precious land inside, but instead of growing food, you plant some exotic flowers and plants that can only be seen but not eaten. Don't you think it's a waste?"

"Think about it, if all these places were exchanged for food, it would be enough to feed all the members of the harem, if nothing else."

Emperor Xin was a little confused, and before he could speak, Su Xiaomeng continued.

"And the trees planted in the Imperial Garden only bloom beautifully, but their fruits are not tasty at all. If they were replaced with peach trees, plum trees, or persimmon trees."

"From now on, Your Majesty will no longer need to go out to buy fruits, and you can also eat the freshest fruits."

"The palace wall cannot be wasted. It's so high, it's perfect for drying fruits. When the fruits are ripe, they can be cut into slices and hung on the wall to dry. When the guards are on patrol, they can turn them over. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

It was fine at first, but as Su Xiaomeng talked more and more, a horrifying picture slowly unfolded before Emperor Xin. He couldn't imagine that his majestic Shouxian Palace would turn into a farmyard filled with all kinds of dried fruits and fruits and vegetables everywhere.

"Meng Meng," Emperor Xin cleared his throat, "I am the commander of eight hundred princes of the Shang Dynasty. Although the treasury is a little tight recently, it is not necessary to be so frugal."

"It is really disgraceful to turn Shouxian Palace into this state."

Su Xiaomeng did not say anything, but complained in her heart in a voice that only Emperor Xin could hear.

[Tsk tsk tsk, this is a time to save face, just like in the original history, when the Shang Dynasty fell, they set themselves on fire at the Star Picking Terrace, how face-saving it was.]

"No, it's impossible!"

When Emperor Xin heard the cause of his death for the first time, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He couldn't believe that the Shang Dynasty actually perished in his hands.

Su Xiaomeng looked innocent, "My lord, don't be so emotional. I'm just making a suggestion. If you really don't want to, forget it. Just ignore what I said."

If Su Xiaomeng had directly said that the Shang Dynasty was gone, Emperor Xin might still have doubts, but this was her inner voice, and she did not necessarily want to transform the Shouxian Palace, so Emperor Xin believed her words 90%.

As the ruler of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin had a very high psychological quality. He quickly adjusted his mood, pretended to be stupid, and forcedly changed the subject.

"Mengmeng, you misunderstood. What I meant was that in such a critical moment, it is not enough to just renovate Shouxian Palace. I plan to renovate several other palaces and several manors under my name."

"The world is big, but eating is the biggest thing. As the ruler of the Shang Dynasty, I will never allow anyone in my country to starve to death because of lack of food."

"Your Majesty is very ambitious," Su Xiaomeng gave Di Xin a thumbs up, "It just so happens that my sister has very rich experience in agricultural development. Let my sister be in charge of the renovation of Shouxian Palace."

[Emperor Xin, you are lucky this time. My sister has received the guidance of the God of Agriculture. After her transformation, the Shouxian Palace alone can provide 10,000 people with enough food and clothing.]

Emperor Xin was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard Su Xiaomeng's voice, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Since it was Meng Meng who recommended it, I naturally have no objection. I'll leave Shouxian Palace to your sister. However, I have a small request."

"Your Majesty, please speak?"

Emperor Xin rubbed his hands and said, "Can I arrange a few people to study with me? I have a few palaces, and I want to renovate them so that the people can have enough food."

Su Xiaomeng deliberately hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly under Emperor Xin's expectant gaze.

"This is my sister's secret. It is forbidden to do this, but since you are doing this for the sake of the people of the world, I will agree to your request on my sister's behalf."

"However, there are a maximum of three, and they cannot be passed on to others."

Hearing Su Xiaomeng's words, Emperor Xin was overjoyed and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will definitely discipline them strictly and will never let them spread it."

Half a month later, the two saints of the Western Church finally found out that the changes in the Shang Dynasty were closely related to Su Daji (Su Xiaomeng).

In order to make sure whether Nuwa had discovered Emperor Xin's plan, Zhunti spent a lot of effort and came back to Chaoge. When he was about to go to Shouxian Palace to find out the truth, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Eh? Where is Shouxian Palace? Where did such a huge Shouxian Palace go?"
