Chapter 204 The Earth Official Returns to Guide the Stars

There is the Yu Kingdom.

"Dayu is the descendant of Gun?!"

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

He did not expect Dayu to be so ambitious. After knowing that his father died because of flood control, he dared to devote himself to flood control.

What he did not expect was that after only a few years, Dayu actually showed his ability to surpass his father.

What Dayu did and the ideas he spread over the years showed a sign of surpassing Gun.

"Let's practice for a while."

Thinking of Gun who died because of the failure of 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 Houji to go there in person to inspect the flood control situation and collect more information about Dayu.

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

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

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

At the same time, it is 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 can shoulder the burden in the future.

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

He had hatred and admiration for this human leader, and his mood was particularly complicated.

The reason for admiration was that Emperor Shun had no problems with his character and talents. Since he came to power, he has made many policies that are beneficial to the human race.

Building temples, worshiping ancestors, worshiping ghosts and gods, and contacting the surrounding areas.

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

Emperor Shun's achievements are obvious to all. Even the people who are close to the way of heaven can't 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 the problem of poor flood control.

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

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

This is because he clearly distinguished between public and private, and knew what to do and what not to do.

Flood control is related to the great cause of the human race, and neither he nor Emperor Shun dared to be careless.

If they lose the big for the small, and abandon the public for the private, causing the human race to be difficult to solve the flood, they will really be sinners of the human race and be infamous for thousands of years.

On the right and wrong, both of them are very clear.

Five hundred years later.

Youyu State, in the hall.

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

However, as soon as he said 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 heavy losses to the human race. We must prevent this."

"You are right. The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable. Even if Dayu understands that you have to kill Gun to appease the public anger, he will inevitably still resent you."

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Flood control is related to the great cause of the human race for thousands of years. Dayu must not be held responsible!"

"Okay, no need to say more!"

Emperor Shun knocked on the table lightly and glanced at everyone.

"Dayu is a hero in flood control, and this is obvious to all."

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

"I feel very relieved to have him control the flood of 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 of the human race, I will still use him. I have already decided on this matter, and you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Even if all the ministers opposed it, he still insisted on using Dayu.

He has been observing for five hundred years, testing for five hundred years, and waiting for five hundred years.

In the territory of the human race, there is no one more suitable for flood control than Dayu.

If there is anyone who is most likely to solve the problem of floods, it must be Dayu.

Emperor Shun was able to promote moral governance, and he himself had good virtues and tolerance.

As long as Dayu can seriously solve the flood, even if he is dissatisfied with him and does something unfavorable to him afterwards, he will not say much.

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

Facts have proved that Dayu is not such a person.

In this case, there is no problem.

Then, Emperor Shun summoned Dayu to the imperial capital.

When the two met, they were speechless for a while, knowing that Dayu was still dissatisfied with the murder of his father.

Emperor Shun did not pretend to be polite, which was too fake, but went straight to the point and asked about flood control.

Dayu was also relieved in his heart. When he mentioned the field he was good at, he immediately spoke eloquently and talked freely.

Even Emperor Shun knew only a little about many things, but Dayu could say the key in one sentence.

In this regard, Emperor Shun was not only not angry, but also very happy, which meant that Dayu's talent was even higher than the reports he saw.

Do not doubt people when you employ them, and do not employ people you doubt.

Emperor Shun has always been very bold in selecting talents and appointing them.

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

After a few simple words, Emperor Shun handed over the flood control to Dayu.

Although before coming over, 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.

His grudge against Emperor Shun was somewhat reduced. At least from the perspective of the human race, Emperor Shun did the right thing. It would be difficult to appease the public anger if he did not kill Gun.

But Gun was his father after all, and it was 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 and left the imperial capital that day to devote himself to flood control.

…

Time passed.

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

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

In this process, Dayu discovered that the human race suffered from serious floods.

One of the reasons was naturally caused by the excessive amount of water.

Another reason was the frequent monster disasters in the water.

Not only were there new monsters after the war between witches and liches, but there were also many ancient monsters, powerful enough to occupy the water veins and deep mountains and forests.

Once the human race begins to manage the waters and invade their territory, they will be attacked by them.

Fortunately, water management is a major event concerning the entire human race. There will be Taiyi Jinxian and even Daluo Jinxian accompanying the water management team.

With these masters escorting and slaying demons, the water management is safe and progresses 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 big star spirit flew out of it, rendering the quiet room particularly bright.

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

He has some authority over the Sun Star and also has control over the Moon Star, plus the arrangement in the ancient starry sky.

It can be said that he has a good understanding of the trajectory and mystery of the stars.

At that time, he was in charge of the River Map and Luoshu, and he arranged a large array of rules that affected the entire prehistoric world, and he also made many achievements in the art of array.

Xihe also provided the array diagram of the Zhoutian Star Array.

The 365 star god banners he refined were the top-grade innate spiritual treasures used to arrange the array.

However, the Zhoutian Star Array arranged by the 365 star god banners was obviously different from the period of the demon clan.

The latter mainly pursued the power of the array, in order to deal with the Twelve Dutian God Array of the Wu clan, so it focused on defense and killing.

The Zhoutian Star Array arranged by the star god banners refined by Huang Long was to draw the power of the stars.

Specifically, Huang Long planned to arrange this star array in the Zhongqian world of the innate gourd vine.

As long as the star array was arranged, the 365 star god banners could be closely connected with the 365 main stars, thereby establishing an energy conversion hub.

At that time, the power of the stars in the sky can be guided into the Xiantian gourd vine.

In this way, on the one hand, the control of the endless starry sky can be strengthened.

On the other hand, the evolution speed of the Xiantian gourd vine can be accelerated.

As long as the Xiantian gourd vine can be evolved, it will be the same as the Jade Disc of Creation, which is a more advanced spiritual treasure!

In addition, the evolution of the Xiantian gourd vine is also the evolution of the middle world towards the great world.

If he saw it with his own eyes and led the formation of a great world,

it would provide him with a lot of references, which would be of great benefit to promoting the evolution of the prehistoric world in the future.

In the memories of the travelers, many travelers would do this in the prehistoric world 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 flag.

He did not put the star flag into the Xiantian gourd vine, arrange the Zhoutian star formation, and receive the power of the stars.

In order to increase the connection between the Star God Banner and the endless starry sky, he planned to send the Star God Banner into the endless starry sky for a period of time and use the arrangements he had left before.

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

Jinxiutian, in the Wa Palace.

Nuwa, who was wandering in the void and concentrating on practicing, felt something in her heart, opened her eyes, and waved her sleeves to take the Qiankun Ding outside the Jinxiutian.

During this period, the two did not have any communication, and no one knew their specific transaction.

However, after seeing Huang Long return the Qiankun Ding, Hongjun took back the trace of his mind that remained here.

Since it was just a temporary loan of the Qiankun Ding, there would not be any big deal, and it would not be unlikely that there would be any accidents.

…

Time passed slowly, and on this day, 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.

There is only one thing that can make Kongtong Mountain lively, and that is the day when Emperor Shun abdicates.

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

After reading out Emperor Shun's achievements, the earth was moved and a large amount of merit was sent down.

The merit was divided into three parts, one part fell to the netherworld and the earth immortal palace, and was absorbed by the netherworld gods and earth immortals.

One part fell to the disciples of the Guixu lineage. During the reign of Emperor Shun, people like Minghe helped a lot.

After obtaining these merits, Minghe and Queen Mother of the West did not change much, after all, they had already achieved enlightenment in another way.

But the changes of Sanxiao and Baimi and others were relatively large, and all of them were promoted by one or two small realms.

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

The last part of merit naturally fell on Emperor Shun.

This part of merit is much greater than that of Emperor Yao and Emperor Ku, and is not inferior to the Three Sovereigns.

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

Not long after he succeeded to the throne of the human race, he became a Daluo Jinxian.

He practiced for more than 8,000 years under the blessing of the human race's luck, and his cultivation level reached the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, which was stronger than that of Emperor Yao, Emperor Ku and others during their reign.

This time, he gained the merit of the big star, and his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, easily crossing the bottleneck and entering the late stage of Daluo Jinxian.

Then he soared all the way, a lot of insights surged into his heart, his Taoism continued to improve, and finally crossed the threshold of Daluo Jinxian.

"Behead!"

Accompanied by Emperor Shun's deep shout, he finally crossed the natural chasm that had stumped Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku and others.

Use the "Zhanwo Mingdao" method to cut out the past body and join the ranks of the prehistoric quasi-saints.

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.

They understood that it was the matter of the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, and they planned more merits for Emperor Shun, so they had the current achievements.

For a time, not only the three ancestors of the human race showed joy, but even all the great sages of the human race present were excited.

The three ancestors of the human race looked at Emperor Shun on the high platform, bathing in the divine light, and they were full of emotion for a while.

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

The Heavenly Dao does help the human race more, but the Earth Dao obviously gives more.

But it is not over yet. Suddenly, the earth was confused by black fog, and a ghost gate appeared.

Eight ghosts and gods of Daluo Jinxian walked out of it carrying a black sedan chair.

The person who came was none other than the Emperor of Fengdu - the Nine Netherworld Ghost Mother!

The Nine Netherworld Ghost Mother walked out of the sedan chair, looked at Emperor Shun on the high platform, and said loudly:

"According to the order of the Yellow Dragon Saint, Shun is specially appointed as the Earth Official Emperor, who is in charge of the underworld gods and earth immortals in the world. He comes to the world on July 15th every year to eliminate disasters and misfortunes, reward and punish the merits and demerits of all ghosts, and is in charge of the underworld affairs of the world."

Emperor Shun had long been reminded by the Styx, and at this time he seemed neither surprised nor happy, and his movements were orderly.

He first kowtowed once or twice in the direction of Guixu, and then half-saluted in the direction of Wuzhuang Temple, Mount Tai, and the Emperor of Fengdu, and accepted the canonization.

Seeing this, the human race was greatly surprised.

Although the Earth Official Emperor corresponds to the Heaven Official Emperor of Emperor Yao, their power is very different.

Emperor Yao's status is indeed noble, belonging to the second echelon of the heavenly court, but he has no real power.

Emperor Shun is different. The Earth Official Emperor is in charge of the underworld affairs of the 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 powerful, especially the earthly immortals of the human race and the underworld gods of the human race wandering in the human world, who are under his control.

The most important thing is that once this happened, the combination of human and earthly ways became closer, further consolidating the way of the three talents, promoting the evolution of the prehistoric world, and greatly increasing the fortune of the earthly ways and human ways.

The six saints of the heavenly way who were concerned about this matter were in a somewhat subtle mood at this time.

The Three Officials Emperor was born in response to the three talents of heaven, earth and man. I thought that the netherworld would be the same as the heavenly court to Emperor Yao.

Giving a small treatment to a respected person is enough to promote the evolution of the main talent. I didn't expect Huanglong 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.
