Chapter 535 The Earth Emperor Proves His Dao! All Return to Their Positions!
After the flood receded, the earth revealed its original appearance.
However, after this protracted flood, many of the old human territories have been completely altered, and many places need to be re-planned.
Yu the Great stood on a high place, looking down at the land he had tried his best to save, and a plan formed in his mind.
He traveled all over the country during his efforts to control floods.
He had a thorough understanding of the terrain, customs, and products of various places.
Next, Yu the Great reorganized the entire country into nine regions, which were then called the Nine Provinces.
Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou.
Each state has its own unique geographical features, natural resources, and local customs.
Subsequently, Yu the Great formulated different governance strategies based on the actual conditions of each state.
This will enable the people of each state to live in peace and have their own livelihoods.
However, Yu knew that although the flood had subsided, the future of humankind still required long-term protection.
He needs something that can suppress the fate of the human race and ensure its long-term prosperity.
Therefore, Yu decided to cast tripods.
He used copper from all over the land, combined with the spiritual materials of heaven and earth, and with supreme magical power, he forged nine cauldrons representing the nine provinces.
In each state, a Nine Provinces Cauldron is placed to suppress the state's fortune.
When the nine cauldrons combined their power, they formed a grand array of fortune for the entire human race, making the human race's fortune as stable as a mountain and free from external evils.
"Rumble..."
On the day the Nine Tripods were cast, the heavens and earth trembled once again.
Nine golden rays shot into the sky from the nine cauldrons, converging above the human race and transforming into a golden light curtain covering the entire human territory.
Soon, with the support of the feudal lords, Yu the Great officially ascended the throne.
He resided in Yangcheng, and his state was named Xia.
Under the rule of Yu the Great, the human race developed rapidly, all industries prospered, and the country was peaceful and prosperous.
The people were grateful to Yu for controlling the floods and saving the world, dividing the land into nine provinces, and casting tripods to determine the fate of the nation.
Because of his merits, which are like the earth, bearing all things and nourishing all living beings, he is respectfully called "Earth Emperor".
On this day, in the sky above Yangcheng, the capital of the human race.
"boom!"
Purple clouds filled the sky, and auspicious clouds descended from heaven.
Upon sensing this commotion, all the powerful beings in the primordial world turned their attention to it.
"This means... another human is about to attain enlightenment!"
"After the Three Sovereigns, four emperors of metal, wood, water, and fire emerged. This one who has attained enlightenment... could it be the Earth Emperor?"
"It seems that in this primordial world, the human race is now the dominant species!"
"The sages gathered in the ancestral land of humanity earlier, seemingly discussing something. This subsequently drew the descent of the Heavenly Dao's will. Could it have been discussing the development of humanity?"
"It seems that behind the enlightenment of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there was always the figure of a sage."
"..."
Many powerful figures were discussing it.
Previously, they didn't quite understand.
However, as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race continued to emerge and prove their Dao, these powerful beings became aware of this.
The three emperors of the human race were very likely ordained by Heaven.
At the same time, the great sages also noticed the strange phenomenon above the human capital.
Penglai Immortal Island, on the main island.
The Three Pure Ones gathered together, standing side by side, their eyes fixed on the human race.
"Big brother."
"The last of the Five Emperors is about to attain enlightenment."
"After the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, what will become of humanity?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned slightly and glanced at the Supreme Sage beside him.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Being glanced at himself, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and shook his head, saying:
"I had previously performed this calculation."
"But the secrets of heaven are obscured, making it impossible to see clearly."
"When the time is right, there should be... a revelation!"
Upon hearing what Taishang said, Tongtian and Yuanshi nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Western religion, Mount Sumeru.
The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, stood beside the Eight Treasures Golden Pool of Merit.
"Senior brother."
"The era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is coming to an end."
"Shouldn't it be our turn for Western religions to rise up next?"
Zhunti said with a look of anticipation.
Upon hearing this, the guide smiled with a sorrowful expression and replied:
"Things are preordained by Heaven; let's see what fate has in store."
……
On the other side, in the Nuwa Palace of the Outer Heavens.
Even the sage Nuwa was moved by this.
"The last of the Five Emperors is about to return to his throne!"
"At this point, all three sovereigns and five emperors have attained enlightenment, and the human race will usher in a period of prosperity."
"But what happens after this prosperity?"
Upon thinking of this, the sage Nuwa frowned slightly and murmured softly:
"In the future, this primordial world will face a great calamity."
"After the Lich War, the human race became the dominant race."
"Could it be that the great calamity to come will befall the human race?"
After thinking it over, the sage Nuwa let out a long sigh, then cleared her mind of all distractions and stopped dwelling on it.
……
Meanwhile, the human capital, Yangcheng, was located there.
After sensing the strange phenomenon in the sky, Yu the Great had a flash of enlightenment in his eyes.
I know that my day of enlightenment has arrived!
The next moment, he flashed and was suspended in the void above Yang City.
As Yu the Great appeared, beams of golden light descended, completely enveloping him and making him appear majestic and sacred.
Then, Yu the Great solemnly proclaimed:
"I, Yu the Great, have now attained the Dao and become the Earth Emperor!"
"Heaven and Earth bear witness!"
"boom!"
As Yu the Great proclaimed this, auspicious clouds of merit surged in the sky.
Soon, a vast and boundless power of merit was seen splitting into two and scattering down.
Of this, the largest portion of merit, about 70%, was entirely absorbed into the body of Yu the Great.
"boom!"
With the blessing of this power of merit, Yu the Great's aura began to rise rapidly.
Before long, his cultivation level broke through all the way up, and he finally advanced to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
The remaining merit traveled across the heavens and fell into the underworld, entering Niu Ben's body.
Niu Ben accepted the power of merit with a calm expression.
The reason he chose to personally go and teach Yu the Great was not because he valued any divine favor or merit.
After all, for Niu Ben, the merits of Heaven were of no use.
Rather, it was because he knew that this was connected to the subsequent great calamities in the case of Yu the Great.
"Yu the Great establishes summer".
"From this day forward, the human race on this vast land will officially enter the era of dynasties."
"When the Shang Dynasty ends, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods will begin."
Niu Ben said quietly, then closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, many years have passed.
At this time, where the human race was located.
Emperor Yu stood before the palace, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Human Emperor's Realm, the sacred land of the human race.
I can feel an invisible call.
"It seems it's time for me to head to the holy land of humanity!"
Yu the Great muttered to himself.
Later, as he grew old, on his deathbed, he passed the throne to his son, Qi.
After his physical body died, Yu the Great's primordial spirit remained intact and, following guidance, entered the realm of the Human Emperor.
With the arrival of Yu the Great, all the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race returned to their rightful places.
At this moment, in a void within the Human Emperor Realm, eight figures sat upright.
Each of them was surrounded by their own radiant path.
It converges directly into a stream of fortune that runs through heaven and earth, protecting the human race.
