As was told in the previous chapter, Empress Nuwa made a move to sever the Qi fortune of Great Shang, but fortunately, the Leader of Tongtian intervened in time to prevent Great Shang's Qi fortune from being completely shattered by her. Even so, the Qi fortune of Great Shang suffered a severe blow, losing its absolute suppression over the eight hundred dukes of the realm.
The rule of Great Shang was now hanging by a thread, but Di Xin, completely unaffected by the upheaval, remained an enlightened monarch of his generation. His countermeasure against Empress Nuwa was swift and decisive: first, he cut off all offerings and worship dedicated to Nuwa within the borders of Great Shang.
Empress Nuwa smashed her favorite ornament in the Nuwa Palace, but it was to no avail.
