Wen Taishi agreed to Tang Lin's request and had no reason to refuse. However, the Northern Expedition did not start immediately. It would take half a month for the army to assemble and prepare its baggage.

Tang Lin is not in a hurry. As long as he participates, he can complete the first phase of his mission. Now, with a buffer period of half a month, Tang Lin felt that he needed to make some preparations during the time when Master Wen went on the expedition.

In the final analysis, the Battle of the Conferred Gods was the reversal of King Zhou. He spent people's energy to build Lutai and Star-Zhaing Tower, and then he was obsessed with Daji's beauty and killed his loyal ministers and generals one by one.

But in the final analysis, spending people's energy to build luxurious palaces is the biggest problem.

The common people don't care how many of your officials die. Even a loyal minister like Bigan will just cry for a while and be done with it. As for the torture of burning and dissecting pregnant women, it actually won't have much impact, because ordinary people basically don't know what happens in the palace, and there is no such thing as the Internet in this world.

What really made the people want to rebel was the excessive amount of corvee service.

Productivity was low in ancient times, even in this world of gods.

In the eyes of immortals, saving someone in passing is a small amount of merit, and saving ten people is not much more.

This kind of thing is just done casually. Maybe we can save more people when there is a big disaster from the sky, but it is something that can only be met by chance.

No immortal will study the magic of developing productivity. They themselves will be too busy for eternity, and they can't imagine the impact of creating a new crop, improving a farm tool, or inventing an internal combustion engine.

Therefore, the people still lived a miserable life. They had to work non-stop every day to stay alive. A slight illness was almost equal to death.

The corvées were those who brought their own dry food to work for free. The important labor force in the family was taken away, leaving only the old, weak, women and children barely supporting themselves at home. It’s okay if the time is short, but if the time is long, will the mother and children at home starve to death?

Moreover, the so-called corvee work is very tiring work. Generally, corvee labor was used to build a city, starting with digging stones and soil, then repairing the stones and then building them up. There were no machines in this era and it all relied on manpower. Once the corvee lasts longer, the people really want their whole families to die.

Qin Shihuang could turn the whole world against the Qin Dynasty by building the Great Wall. This productivity was not as good as the Shang Dynasty of the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, it was just a Lutai that made people's livelihood miserable.

"If I change this ending, will it affect the Battle of the Gods?" Tang Lin began to think about this issue seriously.

First of all, changing your destiny will definitely pay a price, but it depends on how you change it. Like the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Cult, it is their destiny to overcome the tribulation, but the consequences are also different depending on the means. If Chan Jiao had not done too many unreasonable things, everyone should have successfully survived the tribulation in the end, and then killed three corpses to achieve the position of Da Luo Jinxian.

As a result, Hunyuan Jindou cut them into mortals and they had to start over. Thanks to a few people who went to the West to teach, otherwise the Twelve Golden Immortals could be said to have failed to overcome the tribulation.

In the calamity, different things are changed, and the consequences are also different.

Tang Lin was running the cycle of life and death in the lotus dharma. The golden body of merit helped Tang Lin sense the changes in the fate of heaven and earth, and he soon understood.

The Deer Platform had to be built. If Tang Lin forcibly prevented King Zhou from building the Deer Platform, it would be to completely erase this matter from history. The consequences would be great, and death and calamity might soon come to him.

At that time, I didn’t know if the golden body of merit and the life-saving talisman given by the saint could withstand it.

This is one of the key issues, but another key point is Daji. As long as King Zhou seeks death, Empress Nuwa will definitely send a nine-tailed fox to confuse King Zhou. At that time, even with Lutai, Daji would have thought of other ways to harm the Shang Dynasty.

Lutai and Daji are the two biggest hidden dangers, but Lutai had to be built, and Daji had to be possessed by the nine-tailed fox. Because both of them are predetermined fates, if you want to change them, the cause and effect involved are too great, and Tang Lin can't bear it.

If he didn't even risk his life, relying on his many trump cards and meritorious golden bodies, he might really be able to change the entire situation of the Conferred Gods, but Tang Lin felt that he had a 90% chance of dying in the Battle of the Conferred Gods.

There must be some other way...

Tang Lin thought for a while and finally came up with an idea.

Early the next morning, Tang Lin found Master Wen and said that he wanted to offer some treasure to King Zhou. King Zhou is the emperor of the world, and the people of the Immortal Family also have some respect for King Zhou. Tang Lin said it was a treasure offering, and the grand master didn't think it was strange.

Although King Zhou didn't know Tang Lin's reputation, he heard from the Grand Master that this man had listened to the saint's sermons and crippled a golden immortal. He was also of a very high rank. Such a person must be treated well.

The main reason was that Master Wen was so powerful that King Zhou knew very well that this was the real Dinghai Divine Needle of Anbang Dingguo. This Lihuo Taoist was still Master Wen's uncle. Could he still be an ordinary person?

King Zhou decided not to even go to court in the morning and directly asked the civil and military officials to greet Tang Lin. However, this move was stopped by Grand Master Wen. Wen Taishi felt that his uncle was just here to offer treasures, and it was not worth giving up the morning court for this. Wouldn't that be the act of a coward?

King Zhou had no choice but to receive Tang Lin in the main hall after attending the morning court.

Tang Lin didn't mind either. The purpose of his visit was only King Zhou and had nothing to do with the civil and military officials.

When I met King Zhou, there were only a few servants in the palace. I heard that the Grand Master was probably busy preparing the army, so he did not accompany him.

Tang Lin was also a little surprised when he saw King Zhou on the throne. This tyrant is really good looking. King Zhou was tall and seemed to have practiced martial arts. He had a strong body and a resolute and majestic face. He really looked like an emperor.

Tang Lin only bowed his head but did not kneel down, and King Zhou had no objection.

Naturally, gods would not worship the emperor before they met him. It would be strange if Tang Lin knelt down and kowtowed to King Zhou.

"I heard what the Grand Master said, the Immortal Chief wants to see me. I wonder if I can give him any advice?" King Zhou asked.

"Pindao Lihuo is a disciple of Jiejiao. I heard that 72 princes in Beihai rebelled. In order to save the lives of the people, Pindao went down to the mountain to help. During the Northern Expedition, Pindao will go out with nephew Wen Zhong." Tang Linxian Said this premise.

King Zhou was also happy after hearing this. The rebellion hit him in the face. Although Master Wen was already very stable, it would be great to have one more immortal to help him.

"Thank you, Immortal, for your help. The people of our great merchants will be grateful." King Zhou said politely.

Tang Lin saw that the atmosphere was good, so he started to get down to the topic: "Your Majesty, the only major national event is to sacrifice to the army. This Northern Expedition is related to the destiny of the country. I want to build an altar to pray for the country, named Lutai."

We can't let King Zhou commit suicide and make the people miserable, and we can't not build Lutai. In this case, we can build it ourselves.
