That part of history was distorted and changed by people who described that Shang emperor as a tyrant.
However, although the Shang Emperor died due to divine punishment, the wrath of the heavens did not abate with his death; on the contrary, it intensified.
The act of defying the heavens represented the greatest disrespect and contempt towards them.
This act sowed the seeds of subsequent downfall for the Shang Dynasty. Perhaps this is why the Investiture of the Gods chose to take place during the Shang Dynasty.
Nevertheless, these matters were unrelated to Jiang Chen and beyond his realm of inquiry. For now, it was enough for him to ascertain that this massive tree was the Jian Mu.
Even so, the rumors of the Shang Emperor defying the heavens still brought a great shock to Jiang Chen.
