Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 274: Yu became a saint and took over the throne

Many years later, when Shun was old, Shun passed on his position as co-leader of the human race to Yu.

Yu was virtuous, loved his people like his own children, and treated them as if they were his own family.

Under Yu's leadership, the human race became stronger step by step, and their number also increased significantly.

At the same time, Yu also took numerous measures to strengthen his management of the world.

When Yu was controlling floods in his early years, he relied on his own feet to travel to every corner of the human race and drew detailed maps.

With these maps and the experience of walking on his own feet, Yu can be said to have a very good understanding of the human race's territory.

Based on what he knew, Yu gathered the other ministers to discuss and divide the world into nine states.

And based on the original situation of Kyushu, the feudal princes were divided and managed over Kyushu.

In order to make the management of Kyushu uniform, Yu summoned all the princes to Tushan and held a meeting called the Tushan Meeting.

During the meeting, Yu stood on the stage wearing a robe and holding Xuan Gui, which can be said to be majestic.

The other princes stood in the audience and saluted Yu, and Yu returned the salute to them.

After the ceremony, Yu said to the princes: "My virtues are shallow and my abilities are not obvious. I am not qualified to be the co-leader of the human race."

"I have called everyone here today to point out my shortcomings and advise me so that I can learn from my mistakes and correct them so that I can better govern the human race."

Yu's humble speech made the princes who were originally prejudiced against Yu, thinking that he was just a lucky man, realize Yu's humble and open-minded mind, and dispelled their worries that Yu could not govern the human race well.

After the Tushan Conference, in order to show respect to Yu, the princes often went to Yangcheng, the capital, to offer gold (bronze).

Yu looked at more and more bronzes and became interested.

Jiuzhou was initially settled, and its luck was unstable. Yu remembered that when the Xuanyuan clan of the Yellow Emperor had achieved great success, he forged a large cauldron to record his merits.

In order to commemorate the Tushan Conference, Yu also built nine large tripods.

There are nine big tripods, namely Jizhou tripod, Yanzhou tripod, Qingzhou tripod, Xuzhou tripod, Yangzhou tripod, Jingzhou tripod, Yuzhou tripod, Liangzhou tripod and Yongzhou tripod.

These nine large tripods are engraved with famous mountains and rivers, rare birds and animals from each state.

Jiuding symbolizes Jiuzhou, Yuzhou Ding is the center of Jiuding, and Yuzhou is also the center of Jiuzhou.

Jiuding was brought to Yangcheng, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, and Yu became the lord of Jiuzhou, and the world was unified.

This Jiuding became the symbol of the country and the country, and was also an important treasure that the princes and kings of later generations fought for.

After the two major events of controlling floods and unifying Kyushu, Yu's merits rose to a very high level.

Yu also encountered the same problem as Shun: he needed to find his heir.

Yu had two choices for his successor.

One was Gao Tao, who was in charge of the five punishments and prison litigation at that time.

However, to everyone's surprise, Gao Tao actually died one step ahead of Yu.

Regarding this, Yu was very sad. His heir left before him, which made Yu feel very frustrated.

Yu had no choice but to convene another tribal federation meeting.

At the meeting, someone recommended Boyi.

"Co-owner, Boyi was your loyal partner when you were dealing with floods many years ago. He is a loyal and talented person. He is really a rare candidate."

Boyi has been Yu's partner for many years, and Yu is very familiar with Boyi's talents. Boyi not only assisted Yu, but also traveled to every corner of Jiuzhou to control floods.

In areas hit by floods, we guided local people to plant rice based on the low-lying characteristics of the local area, which greatly promoted the development of agriculture in areas hit by floods.

Because of his merits in controlling floods, Shun betrothed a girl from his family to Boyi and made him a Yu official, in charge of mountains, rivers, lakes, and breeding of birds.

In addition, Boyi also invented the technology of digging wells.

With the technology of digging wells, people no longer had to settle near rivers and no longer had to endure the threat of river flooding.

The only drawback is that Boyi is slightly older.

However, Yu couldn't think of a better choice and could only agree with everyone's opinions.

A few years later, when Yu's merits had been fully cultivated, he gave up his position as co-leader of the human race to Boyi, and he became a saint.

Countless divine lights shrouded Yu's body. Yu felt that his whole body was full of power. Following a few rays of rays of light, Yu's body rose from the ground and flew into the distance.

What everyone doesn't know is that General Yu will be the last saint of the human race during the prehistoric period.

The agreement between Hongjun and Lin Xiu was that the human race would produce three more saints, and Yu was the third one.

After Yu attained enlightenment and became a saint, the princes followed Yu's arrangements and supported Boyi, ascending to the position of co-leader of the human race.

However, all this aroused dissatisfaction from Yu's son, Qi.

Qi believed that the control of floods was the credit of his father Yu. After Yu became a saint, he did not pass on the position of co-leader of the human race to himself, but instead passed it on to an outsider, Boyi.

This made Qi furious, wishing he could immediately take back the position of co-leader of the human race.

As for another reason, Qi believes that if the co-owner of the human race can possess huge merits, he will definitely be able to attain enlightenment, become a saint, and live forever in the future.

For Qi, this was an irresistible temptation.

Therefore, Qi openly opposed Boyi's succession to the position of co-leader of the human race, and actively organized his own forces to attack Boyi.

Faced with Qi's rebellion, Boyi was a little caught off guard. However, he immediately organized forces to support him and fought back against Qi.

After Qi's defeat, Boyi, thinking of his relationship with his father Yu, did not kill Qi, but merely imprisoned him.

Unexpectedly, this has led to disaster.

Qi, who was detained, was unwilling to accept his failure and actively contacted the forces that supported him to fight back against Boyi.

After a series of battles, Boyi was finally defeated. Qi did not repay his kindness, but directly killed Boyi. Boyi's days of ruling the world came to an end.

After winning the enlightenment of the world, he immediately issued an order to abolish the abdication system that had been followed for many years and had gone through countless generations, and changed it to a hereditary system.

The meaning of hereditary system is that after the death of the king, he no longer elects a successor through abdication and inherits the position of co-head of the clan.

Instead, it is up to the king to select a talented one among his sons to replace him and continue to manage the human race.

The emergence of the hereditary system changed the past method of selecting successors based on merit, to relying on blood.

After doing all this, Qi was very satisfied and thought that the world was under his control.

However, at this moment, someone came to report.

"Youhu, you are rebelling!"
