Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 470 The Smiling Older Brother
The spiritual empowerment provided by the White Lotus Incarnation Sutra is terrifying.

"Heaven and earth are positioned, and sacrifices are offered to all the gods. The six ancestral temples are worshipped, and the three auspicious omens are all in order. Sweet rain and gentle winds bring forth millet and sorghum, which are revered by all the people; thus, a beautiful blessing arises."

With the rise and fall of the voice, a rich and vibrant spirituality bursts forth.

Like invisible lake water washing over the Yuwang Temple, the Taihu hydrological map was forcibly activated, radiating a unique brilliance.

A gust of wind rose inside the house, and golden characters flew out in the gale, appearing in mid-air.

This is nature, this is culture, this is achievement, this is authority, this is a record recognized by heaven and earth.

As they chanted, time seemed to slow down, and the dust in the air seemed to freeze in place.

Xu Xuan saw something different in his spiritual perception.

The giant egg hatched, and out came a thousand-foot-long giant snake.

A storm arose on Taihu Lake, with months of heavy rain and surging, rolling waves.

A giant blue serpent stirred up storms and turned the Taihu Lake basin into a vast swamp, submerging thousands of acres of fertile land, turning cities into isolated islands, and causing countless people to perish in the flood.

Is this a sign?!
"It's demonic!"

"Its demonic nature is hard to tame."

Some domineering voices came from above.

A middle-aged man dressed in animal skins appeared beside Xu Xuan at some point.

His face, painted with oil paint patterns, was very heroic, and his eyebrows and eyes showed both determination and wildness.

His robust physique perfectly embodies the word "strength".

At first glance, it looks like a king roaming the mountains, but upon closer inspection, the mountain it roams over could be Nanshan, Lushan, or Lingshan.

Xu Xuan immediately bowed without saying a word, after all, this was a genuine human ancestor, a true ancestor.

"Greetings, King Yu!"

Well, the ancestor in the Yuwang Temple has appeared!

I encountered Ksitigarbha in the underworld, and Yu the Great in the human world. Could it be that I have some special spiritual ability?

However, Xu Xuan still noticed something amiss this time; His Majesty Yu was not Yu.

Although it sounds a bit convoluted, the one in front of us is really just a temporary manifestation of incense offerings and vows, not even a shadow.

It is a product of the concept called "King Yu".

After all, they connected all the waterways in the world, so it's perfectly normal for them to leave behind some spiritual manifestations.

All you need is a pure-blooded human to preside over the sacrifice, provide a large amount of spiritually charged wish power, and a divine object related to the human race. If all three conditions are met, you can hear your ancestors praise you for doing a good job.

That's right, the person who could serve as the Grand Priest during the Xia Dynasty was Xu Xuan.

The chanting of prayers at the Yuwang Temple is somewhat symbolic.

At this moment, most of the power of the phantom of King Yu comes from the Taihu Lake hydrological map in the air.

Yu divided the land into nine provinces, dredged rivers along the mountains, and assigned tribute according to the local conditions. Yu spread the land, cleared trees along the mountains, and established the foundation for the high mountains and great rivers.

Using landscape paintings to awaken our ancestors who have traversed the entire land is a perfect fit.

King Yu was in a good mood and began to praise his junior: "The hydrological map of Taihu Lake that you presented was well done."

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

"Even the flesh and blood of the demon race have been prepared; they really put their heart into it."

Xu Xuan didn't laugh. "That's not it!"
If you want to eat a demon, I'll go outside and catch one right now, the one with the best taste is fine.

This egg is definitely not a staple food.

"Hahahaha, I know, I know."

"Young man, don't be so serious. I don't remember Wu Xian back then."

Amidst the hearty laughter, the king's domineering majesty shattered into pieces; He could actually joke!

The phantom of King Yu was slightly lively, perhaps his true self was also an optimistic person back then. That's the only way to put it; thinking too much about it would be disrespectful.

This little joke actually scared someone a bit.

But what followed was no joke. "Junior, how about we appoint a demon as the Water Lord of Lake Tai?"

His tone was so flat, it was like asking if you'd eaten.

Yet, in his spiritual sense, he seemed to see a murderous aura as powerful as a tsunami.

Ancient battlefield, dead men, dead demons, roars, war songs, howls, the power of will running rampant.

Gonggong's minister, Xiangliu, had nine heads and ate from nine mountains. Wherever Xiangliu went, there were marshes and streams. Yu killed Xiangliu, and his blood was so foul that it was impossible to plant the five grains. Yu dug a dam three ren deep and three jutsu (a unit of length), and then used it as a platform for the emperors.

The old master not only controlled the floods, but also slew demons.

Therefore, it is reasonable and appropriate for the demon race to show themselves and try to stop them from regaining the position of Water Lord.

Xu Xuan felt he needed to take this seriously, even though the opponent was merely a phantom without any power.

Out of respect, however, he intended to explain his plan to unite all spirits and overcome the difficulties.

After all, with the decline of Tao and the rise of demons, and the collapse of the divine path, the human race's situation may gradually return to that of ancient times.

Before he could even open his mouth to explain, King Yu burst into laughter again.

"This little green snake is quite nice; it has no grievances to speak of and is rather silly."

"Being a Water Lord is fine, as long as it doesn't hinder the development of the human race."

"If it gets in the way, just kill it yourself."

He also stated that what he said earlier was just to tease the younger generation, since it was a rare opportunity for him to appear.

Xu Xuan was starting to feel uneasy. Could it be that the real-life form of King Yu in history was really this lively?

She really has a lot of personal charm.

Just as he was pondering, the phantom of King Yu was engrossed in looking through the hydrological map of Taihu Lake, visibly enjoying himself.

Because the hydrology is much better now than in ancient times, and over the past few thousand years, whether by design or by the evolution of the world, the living space for humankind has increased significantly.

Large areas of land were washed away on the eastern side of Taihu Lake, extending a considerable distance into the sea.

The book also contains cultural information, with so many villages scattered like stars across the land and rivers.

The scenery was so beautiful that King Yu laughed heartily again.

Xu Xuan waited for the ancestor to finish reading before asking curiously: "Although this is very impolite, why do you still exist when the divine path has collapsed?"
"Because we are not gods, but men."

"As long as you remember us, we will exist, no matter what we look like or what we are in."

Surprisingly, it makes a lot of sense. Aside from the somewhat shattered filter of our ancestors, it's much easier to accept.

When the spiritual energy subsided, the burly man who had been laughing all along gave Xu Hanwen a hug, just like a warm-hearted older brother, without any trace of kingly authority.

"Kid, you did a great job."

"However, the fact that my spirituality has become active indicates that China is facing a crisis."

"So you need to do better."

"Hahahaha"

Another hearty laugh, and the smiling old man in animal skin disappeared from sight.

Xu Xuan's mood was somewhat complicated, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Although it's just a phantom of a wish, the praise it carries is quite high.

"King Yu said I did a very good job. Ha, cough cough."

I almost burst into laughter along with him, just like the maniacal laughter.

The blue giant egg now seemed to possess a different kind of spirituality, and had become more connected with the aura of the human race.

The water features of Taihu Lake are even reflected on the eggshell.

That guy who always smiles is such a nice person.

If I do the math, it will hatch in a month and it will be able to receive gifts on New Year's Day. Xiaoqing should be happy about that.

As for the ultimate mission at the background level of the Shenzhou crisis...
I, Father Xu, am not someone to be trifled with!
