Chapter 270 Emperor Ku attains enlightenment and becomes a saint, Yao takes over as co-leader of the human race

Emperor Ku called many of his ministers to his side and began to discuss the issue of abdication.

"Everyone, I feel that the merit within my body has been surging recently, and it is about to become uncontrollable."

"Thinking about it, I probably want to achieve enlightenment and become a saint, but the human race cannot be without a master for a day."

"What do you think about my successor after I become a saint?"

Emperor Ku sat on the chair, overlooking the ministers below.

In fact, all the officials could see what Emperor Ku was thinking.

After all, if you keep your little son by your side to teach him, what else can you do if you don't want him to take over?

However, Emperor Ku had a very good vision, and Yao was indeed a very filial and capable young man.

"Co-Master, isn't your son Yao a very good choice?"

A gray-haired minister put forward his own opinion.

This proposal received an instant response from everyone.

"Yes, among your sons, Yao is the best. If he takes over as co-leader, the human race will further develop and become stronger."

"I second the proposal. After the co-master attains enlightenment and becomes a saint, you can safely hand over your power to Yao. In this way, the human race will have hope for the future!"

Emperor Ku was relieved to hear that the ministers spoke highly of Yao.

"Okay, then I will give up my position as co-leader of the human race to my youngest son, Yao."

"You guys go and help me prepare for the abdication ceremony."

The ministers took the order and left one after another.

A few days later, Emperor Ku killed three animals, including pigs, cattle, and sheep. After worshiping the heaven and earth, he passed his position to Yao.

The fourth of the Five Emperors has stepped onto the stage of history.

After Yao succeeded to the throne, he began drastic reforms.

When Yao succeeded to the throne, there was no complete system. The so-called common leader of the human race was just the leader of a federation of tribes.

The management of many tribes is very loose, and it can be said that they only have a false name.

This loose management method was very unfavorable to the unified management of the country. Yao was determined to change this situation.

After accumulating enough experience in governing the human race, Yao decided to change the official system.

Yao began to establish various political systems based on the needs of governing the human race.

Among them, the most important is to formulate an official system based on management needs.

After thinking for a long time, Yao finally decided to appoint officials according to various government affairs.

For example, officials who manage agricultural affairs are called Si Nong.

The officials in charge of bandits and prisons are called Sikou.

The official who manages the army is called Sima.

This method of naming officials according to government affairs has been used by later generations for thousands of years.

Although Emperor Ku established solar terms, Yao was not satisfied. He felt that solar terms, a way of promoting farming, could still be improved.

For this purpose, Yao summoned his minister Xi Shu.

"Uncle Xi, the solar terms set by my father, Emperor Ku, can guide the human race on when to farm and when to harvest."

"But I think that in order to further plan the planting and harvesting seasons, a detailed calendar is needed."

"You have studied the calendar for many years. Do you have any insights?"

When Uncle Xi heard this, he didn't dare to neglect it.

He quickly told Yao what he saw and gained.

"My Lord and I have discovered that the sun rises and sets in a regular pattern."

"In winter, it rises late and sets early."

"In summer, it's just the opposite. It sets late and rises early." Hearing Uncle Xi's discovery, Yao was also very pleased. This minister was not lazy and did not work hard.

"Uncle Xi, if this is the case, I will send you to the Mingdu in the east to study the rules of the sun's rise and report it to me. Based on this, we can formulate a calendar."

"If it's the position of Antares, let's correct the position."

Uncle Xi was also surprised to hear that Yao knew so much about astronomy.

"Don't worry, co-owner, I will do my best to perfect the calendar."

Then, Yao found two other ministers respectively.

They are called He Zhong and He Shu respectively.

He photographed He Zhong to a place called Shibuya in the west, studied the setting of the sun, and made corrections with reference to the position of the virtual star.

He also photographed Uncle He to the north, a place called Youdu, to observe the movement of the sun from north to south, and correct it according to the position of the Pleiades.

After doing all this, Yao spent several years counting the information sent back by several people and finally finalized a set of legislation.

Yao decided to designate a year as 365 days, and add one day in leap years to make 366 days.

Every three years, a leap month is set up to ensure that the farming season is correct every year and there are no errors.

With the legislation enacted by Yao, the time for people to plant crops was once again regulated, and the yield reduction due to incorrect planting time was greatly reduced.

One day, Yao received a message from Emperor Ku asking him to go there.

Yao put down his official duties and hurried to Emperor Ku's residence.

"Yao, I feel that my merits are full and I can't stay any longer."

"I have been observing you over the years. You are indeed a very good co-leader. Remember, you must lead the human race to become stronger."

"This way, I feel relieved."

After saying that, Di Ku no longer suppressed his own merits. In an instant, countless light points gathered from all directions and merged into Di Ku's body.

"Father, is this merit?"

This was the first time for Yao to see such a scene, and he felt a little better.

"Yes, this is the merit that cultivators dream of."

"Due to the skyrocketing number of humans, it is now much easier to absorb merit than before."

"According to legend, Shen Nong's farm was filled with hundreds of herbs, which gave him the chance to attain enlightenment and become a saint."

Having said this, Emperor Ku couldn't help but sigh.

No predecessors have blazed a trail. It is estimated that the human race is still in a state of ignorance, and attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint will not be as easy as it is now.

After a while, the light spots on Emperor Ku's body stopped increasing and showed a relatively stable state.

"Father, the feeling you give me has changed."

"It seems that you are no longer my father, but you have given me the urge to kneel down."

"Is this the benefit of becoming a saint?"

Yao looked at his father with some surprise. Emperor Ku now made him feel like he wanted to worship him.

"Normally, this is the pressure created after enlightenment and sanctification. Ordinary people will naturally not adapt to it after seeing it."

"You should work hard. After a few years, I believe that you will be among the people who have attained enlightenment and become saints."

Emperor Ku Wenyan encouraged Yao, and he also very much hoped that his son could govern the human race in an orderly manner, accumulate merit, and embark on the road to sainthood.

"Okay, father, don't worry, I will do my best."

After saying that, Yao bowed respectfully, looked at Emperor Ku's body, and slowly floated away.
