Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 204: The Earth Official Returns to Guide the Stars

You Yu State.

"Dayu is Gun's descendant?!"

After hearing about Dayu's origins, Emperor Shun was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Dayu was so ambitious that after knowing that his father died while controlling the flood, he still dared to devote himself to controlling the flood.

What he didn't expect was that after only a few years, Dayu actually showed abilities that were even better than his master.

What Dayu did over the years and the ideas he promoted actually showed signs of surpassing Gun.

"Let's practice for a while longer before we talk about it."

Thinking of Gun who died due to his failure in flood control, Emperor Shun was filled with emotion.

In order to prevent Dayu from repeating the same mistake, Emperor Shun did not rashly use Dayu to control the flood.

Instead, he ordered his trusted minister Hou Ji to go there in person to investigate the flood control situation and collect more information about Dayu.

Many years later, Hou Ji returned again and brought back specific information.

Emperor Shun was overjoyed after seeing this, but he still did not immediately employ Dayu.

The more critical the situation is, the more cautious we need to be, otherwise it will bring trouble to Dayu and disaster to the human race.

At the same time, it was also to increase Dayu's achievements.

He secretly signaled more human city-states to go to Dayu for help and accumulate his experience in flood control so that they could shoulder the burden in the future.

With Xuandu by his side, Dayu naturally knew what Emperor Shun was planning.

He had both hatred and admiration for the common leader of the human race, and his feelings were extremely complicated.

The reason for admiration is that there is no problem with Emperor Shun's character and talent. Since he came to power, he has made many policies that are beneficial to the human race.

Build temples, worship ancestors, worship ghosts and gods, and contact the surrounding areas.

Each one of them is beneficial to the human race, and each one of them makes the human race better.

Emperor Shun's achievements are obvious to all. Even his clansmen who are close to the Way of Heaven cannot find any fault with what Emperor Shun did.

The reason for the hatred was that Emperor Shun ordered the killing of Dayu's father due to problems in flood control.

Even though he knew that Emperor Shun could not be blamed entirely, Dayu would still be somewhat dissatisfied because it was Emperor Shun who killed Gun after all.

However, Dayu did not refuse Emperor Shun's arrangement, and performed extremely well in flood control in a small area.

This is because he can clearly distinguish between public and private affairs and knows what to do and what not to do.

Flood control is related to the great cause of mankind. Neither he nor Emperor Shun dared to be careless.

If they lose sight of the big picture for the sake of small gains, and sacrifice public interests for personal gain, leading to a flood disaster that is difficult to resolve for humanity, then they will truly be sinners of humanity and will be infamous for eternity.

When it comes to major issues, both of them are very clear-headed.

Five hundred years later.

Youyu State, above the main hall.

As Dayu's performance became more and more outstanding, Emperor Shun finally made a decision.

However, as soon as he announced this decision, he was opposed by the ministers in the court.

"Your Majesty, Dayu is Gun's son after all. If he holds a grudge and secretly does something bad during flood control, it may cause great losses to the human race. We must be on guard against this."

"You are right. The hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable. Even if Dayu understands that you had to kill Gun in order to appease the public anger, he will inevitably still feel resentment towards you."

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Flood control is related to the great cause of mankind for generations to come. Dayu must not be held responsible!"

"Okay, no need to say more!"

Emperor Shun tapped the table lightly and glanced at everyone.

"Dayu is a hero who controls floods. This is obvious to all."

"In the past five hundred years, I have secretly sent people to observe. Dayu has outstanding virtues and is a trustworthy person."

"I feel very relieved to have him take care of the flood disasters for the human race."

"Let me take a step back and say that even if he is dissatisfied with me, as long as he can solve the flood problem of the human race, I will still use him. I have already made up my mind about this matter, and you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Even though his ministers opposed it, he still insisted on employing Dayu.

He had observed for five hundred years, tested for five hundred years, and waited for five hundred years.

Within the human territory, there is no one more suitable for controlling floods than Dayu.

If we were to ask who is most likely to solve the problem of floods, it would be Dayu.

Emperor Shun was able to implement moral governance because he himself possessed outstanding moral character and magnanimity.

As long as Dayu was serious about solving the flood problem, he would not say anything even if Dayu was dissatisfied with him and did something disadvantageous to him afterwards.

In addition to confirming Dayu's ability, the purpose of these five hundred years of observation was to see whether Dayu's personal emotions would affect flood control.

As it turned out, Dayu was not such a person.

If that's the case, then there's no problem.

Afterwards, Emperor Shun summoned Dayu to the imperial capital.

When the two met, they were speechless for a moment. They knew that Dayu was still unhappy about the murder of his father.

Emperor Shun did not pretend to be polite, as that would have been too fake, but went straight to the point and asked about flood control.

Dayu also felt relieved. When he mentioned the area he was good at, he immediately spoke eloquently and confidently.

Even Emperor Shun only had a vague understanding of many things, but Dayu was able to hit the key point in one sentence.

Emperor Shun was not angry about this, but very happy. This meant that Dayu's talent was even higher than the reports he had seen.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

Emperor Shun was always decisive in selecting talented and capable people.

He may not be as talented as the Three Sovereigns, but his broad mind is definitely not inferior, and he even ranks among the top among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

After a few brief words, Emperor Shun handed over the task of flood control to Dayu.

Although before coming here, Dayu guessed what Emperor Shun was going to say.

But after hearing this with his own ears, he was still stunned for a moment, marveling at Emperor Shun's courage.

The resentment towards Emperor Shun was somewhat reduced. At least from the perspective of the human race, Emperor Shun did nothing wrong. It would be difficult to appease the public anger if Gun was not killed.

But Gun is his father after all, and it is not so easy for him to completely let go of his hatred.

But this did not prevent him from doing what he was going to do next.

He nodded in agreement, left the imperial capital that same day, and devoted himself to flood control.

……

time flies.

After obtaining the lifespan of Emperor Shun and the full support of the human race, Dayu's flood control efforts progressed more smoothly.

During this period, there was good news about solving the flood problem, but there was also extremely bad news.

During this process, Dayu discovered the reason why the human race suffered from severe floods.

Part of the reason is naturally due to excessive water volume.

Another reason is the frequent occurrence of water monsters.

Not only are there new demon races born after the war between the wizards and the liches, but there are also many ancient great demons, who are powerful and entrenched in the water veins and deep mountains and forests.

Once humans begin to manage the waters and invade their territory, they will be attacked by them.

Fortunately, flood control is a major event that concerns the entire human race. There will be Taiyi Golden Immortals and even Daluo Golden Immortals in the flood control team.

With these experts protecting us, we were able to slay demons and control floods without any danger and progressed smoothly.

...Guixu, Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Huang Long suddenly opened his eyes, and the Qiankun Ding shook violently.

The divine fire in the cauldron went out, and the light of a big star flew out from it, making the quiet room exceptionally bright.

Looking at the 365 star flags in front of him, Huang Long smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

He possesses partial authority over the Sun Star and also has control over the Moon Star, in addition to the arrangements he made in the ancient starry sky.

It can be said that he has a fairly good understanding of the movements and mysteries of the stars.

At that time, he was in charge of the River Map and Luo Shu, and he set up a large formation of rules that affected the entire prehistoric world, and he also made many achievements in the art of formations.

Xihe also provided the diagram of the Zhoutian Star Array.

The 365 star flags he refined were top-grade innate spiritual treasures used to set up the formation.

However, the great Zhoutian star formation arranged by 365 star flags is obviously different from the period of the demon clan.

The latter mainly pursues the power of the formation in order to deal with the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan, so it focuses on defense and killing capabilities.

The Star God Banner refined by Huang Long and the Great Star Array arranged there were designed to draw the power of the stars.

Specifically, Huang Long planned to place this star formation in the middle thousand world of the innate gourd vine.

As long as the star array is arranged, the 365 star flags will be able to form a close connection with the 365 main stars, thereby establishing an energy conversion hub.

At that time, you will be able to guide the power of the stars in the sky and enter the innate gourd vine.

In this way, on the one hand, we can strengthen our control over the endless starry sky.

On the other hand, it can speed up the evolution of the innate gourd vine.

As long as the innate gourd vine can be evolved completely, it will be equal to the Jade Disc of Creation, a more advanced kind of spiritual treasure!
In addition, during the evolution process of the innate gourd vine, the middle thousand world is also evolving towards the great thousand world.

If I could see with my own eyes and lead the formation of a great universe,

It will provide him with a lot of references, which will be of great help in promoting the evolution of the prehistoric world in the future.

In the memories of time travelers, many of them would do this in the ancient times to gain a lot of luck and merit.

In the quiet room, Huang Long suppressed his thoughts and waved his sleeves to collect the Star God Banner.

He did not throw the Star God Flag into the innate gourd vine to arrange the Zhoutian star formation and draw the power of the stars.

In order to increase the connection between the Starry Flag and the endless starry sky, he planned to send the Starry Flag into the endless starry sky for a period of time and use the arrangements left behind before.

Then, he looked at the Qiankun Ding, waved his sleeves to open a space channel, and sent this innate treasure into it.

In the beautiful sky, inside the Queen Wa Palace.

Nuwa, who was wandering in the void and practicing diligently, suddenly felt something in her heart. She opened her eyes, waved her sleeves and took away the Qiankun Ding from the beautiful sky.

The two did not have any communication during this period, and no one knew about their specific transactions.

However, after seeing Huang Long return the Qiankun Ding, Hongjun withdrew the little bit of his mind that remained here.

Since the Qiankun Ding is just borrowed temporarily, there won't be any big transactions, and it is unlikely that any accidents will happen.

……

Time flies, and on this day, we are at the ancestral land of the human race, Kongtong Mountain.

The three ancestors of the human race and many great sages gathered again, and a large number of human elites also gathered here.

The only reason Kongtong Mountain could become lively was because of one event: the day when Emperor Shun abdicated.

As Emperor Shun ascended the high platform and offered sacrifices to heaven, earth and man, the three ancestors completed the process with ease.

After the achievements of Emperor Shun were read out, the earth was moved and bestowed with great merit.

The merits were divided into three parts, one part fell to the Netherworld and the Earthly Immortal Palace, and was absorbed by the Netherworld gods and Earthly Immortals.

Part of it fell on the disciples of Guixu lineage. People like Minghe helped a lot during the reign of Emperor Shun.

After acquiring these merits, the changes in the Styx and the Queen Mother of the West were not great. After all, they had both achieved enlightenment in a different way.

However, the changes of Sanxiao, Baimi and others are relatively significant, and they have all improved by one or two small realms.

Bai Mi, Shenlong and Lingxi are not far from becoming quasi-saints. As long as they make a little plan, becoming quasi-saints will not be a problem.

The last part of the merit naturally goes to Emperor Shun.

The merits and virtues here are so great that they far surpass those of Emperor Yao and Emperor Ku, and are not inferior to those of the Three Sovereigns.

He had already gained some merit by helping the ghosts of the underworld to roam at night and promoting the evolution of the tunnel.

Not long after he succeeded to the throne of the common leader of the human race, he achieved the status of Daluo Jinxian.

With the blessing of the human race's luck, he practiced for more than 8,000 years, and his cultivation level reached a higher level, reaching the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian. He was several points stronger than Emperor Yao, Emperor Ku and others during their reigns.

This time, with the great merit of the Great Star, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. He easily crossed the bottleneck and entered the late stage of Daluo Jinxian.

Afterwards, his level soared all the way, a large amount of insights surged into his mind, his Taoism continued to improve, and he finally crossed the threshold of becoming a Golden Immortal.

"cut!"

With a deep shout from Emperor Shun, he finally crossed the natural barrier that had stumped Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku and others.

Using the method of "Zhan Wo Ming Dao", he cut off his past self and became one of the quasi-saints in the ancient times.

In Kongtong Mountain, the three ancestors of the human race were slightly stunned. They did not expect that Emperor Shun could have such good fortune.

After recalling the achievements of Emperor Shun, they found a clue.

I understand that it was the incident of a hundred ghosts walking at night, and I have planned many merits for Emperor Shun, which is why we have achieved what we have today.

For a moment, not only the three ancestors of the human race showed joy on their faces, but all the great sages of the human race present were also excited.

The three ancestors of the human race looked at Emperor Shun, who was bathed in divine light on the high platform, and were filled with emotion for a moment.

The status of ghosts and gods in the underworld in their hearts has therefore become more important.

The Heavenly Dao does provide more help to the human race, but the Underworld Dao obviously gives more.

But this is not the end yet. The earth is suddenly shrouded in black fog and the shadow of a ghost gate appears.

Eight Daluo Jinxian ghosts and gods came out carrying a black sedan chair.

The visitor was none other than the Emperor of Fengdu - the Nine Nether Ghost Mother!
The Nine Nether Ghost Mother walked out of the sedan chair, looked at Emperor Shun on the high platform, and said loudly:
"By order of the Yellow Dragon Saint, Shun is specially appointed as the Earth Official Great Emperor, in charge of the underworld gods and earthly immortals in the world. He comes to the world on the fifteenth day of the seventh month every year to eliminate disasters and misfortunes, reward and punish the ghosts for their merits and demerits, and manage the affairs of the netherworld in the world."

Emperor Shun had been reminded by Minghe long ago, so he seemed neither surprised nor happy at this moment, and his movements were orderly.

He first kowtowed once or twice in the direction of Guixu, and then performed half-bows in the direction of Wuzhuang Temple, Mount Tai and the Emperor of Fengdu to accept the enthronement.

Seeing this, the human race was greatly surprised.

Although the Earth Official Emperor corresponds to the Heaven Official Emperor of Emperor Yao, their powers are vastly different.

Emperor Yao's status was indeed noble, belonging to the second echelon of heaven, but he had no real power.

Emperor Shun was different. The Emperor of Earth was in charge of the underworld affairs of the human world.

In terms of power and status, he is second only to Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earthly immortals, and Emperor Dongyue of Mount Tai.

He is truly in a high position of power, especially the human immortals and the human underworld gods wandering in the human world, they are especially under his control.

The most important thing is that once this happened, the combination of humanity and earth became closer, further consolidating the Three Talents Way, promoting the evolution of the ancient world, and greatly increasing the fortune of humanity and earth.

The Six Saints of Heaven who were paying attention to this matter were all feeling a little weird at this moment.

The Three Emperors were born in response to the three elements of heaven, earth and man. I thought the underworld would be the same as the heaven to Emperor Yao.

Giving a noble and powerful person the treatment he deserves as long as he can promote the evolution of the main talent is enough. I didn't expect Huang Long to be so generous.

But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that this result was reasonable.

After all, when Shennong abdicated, Huanglong also gave him real power.
