My seniority is extraordinary: I was only eight years old when the whole village came to wish me a H

The moment the live broadcast switched from the technologically advanced control room to the Wujiacun Ancestral Hall Square.

The entire internet seemed to have been muted.

The tens of millions of viewers watching the live stream all instinctively held their breath the moment they saw the scene before them.

The barrage of comments revealed that the white waterfall that had been surging like a cascade just moments before had now been strangely blank for five seconds.

Everyone was so shocked by the sight before them that they were speechless.

It was a picture that defies description in any language, filled with extreme contradictions yet perfectly harmonious.

The camera pans down from an extremely high angle, overlooking the entire square.

The deepest darkness before dawn, like a giant curtain, shrouds the rolling mountains.

In the center of this darkness, the huge ancestral hall square was illuminated as brightly as day by countless lights.

Thousands of villagers from Wujia Village, dressed in uniform dark blue traditional clothing, stood silently in the square, forming neat square formations.

The square's surface was paved with huge, bluish-gray stone slabs, which reflected a cold yet heavy luster under the strong light.

To the north of the square, the magnificent Wu Clan Ancestral Hall stands like an ancient behemoth lurking at the boundary between light and darkness, silent, majestic, and exuding an aura of dominance that commands respect.

Ancient buildings, orderly crowds, bright lights, and deep darkness all around...

All of this creates a visually striking scene that sends shivers down one's spine.

"I...what did I see...?"

"Is...is this real? Are you sure it's not movie special effects?"

"My God... I feel like I can't breathe. This isn't some kind of ancestral worship ceremony, this is clearly paradise on earth... no, it's a divine realm!"

"This is absolutely stunning! I've never seen anything this amazing in my entire life! Compared to this, those so-called epic blockbusters are like children playing house!"

"I declare that from this moment forward, Young Master is my one and only god!"

After a brief silence, the live stream chat exploded with a burst of comments.

Everyone was using the most exaggerated and unbelievable language to express the shock they felt.

Inside the main control room.

Looking at the epic scene on the main screen and the barrage of comments that had gone crazy again, Su Qinghuan felt a surge of emotions.

She knew that the live stream was already halfway to success from that moment on.

She took a deep breath and brought her lips, adorned with a microphone, close to the receiver.

Her clear and magnetic voice slowly rang in the ears of all the audience members.

"Dear viewers, what you are seeing now is the scene of the Wu Family Village Ancestor Worship Ceremony - Wu Family Ancestral Hall Square."

"As you can see, there are less than 30 minutes left before the ceremony officially begins, but all the villagers of Wujia Village have already arrived at the square and are waiting quietly."

"In Wujia Village, ancestor worship is an extremely important matter. It is their reverence for their ancestors and also a form of identification with their own bloodline."

Su Qinghuan's explanation was unhurried and just right.

She didn't use any fancy words to embellish the story; she simply stated the facts calmly.

But it is precisely this calm narration that allows the audience to feel the deep-seated solemnity and reverence.

"Old Wang, give the camera a panoramic view of the square, slowly zooming in from south to north," Su Qinghuan instructed cameraman Old Wang through the internal channel.

"receive."

As Lao Wang operated the camera, the live stream screen began to move slowly.

The camera slowly pans from the southernmost end of the square, past the thousands of villagers standing silently, towards the ancestral hall at the northernmost end.

This long take allowed all viewers to more directly experience the grandeur of the ceremony.

Although the number of villagers was large, they were arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

Everyone is as if they have been measured with a ruler, standing in their rightful place.

Their faces all wore a solemnity that bordered on piety.

No one whispered to each other, and no one looked around.

The entire square was so quiet that it was as if time had stood still.

"So...so disciplined..."

"Is this really a village?"

"I finally understand why Wu Family Village is so awesome. Their cohesion and execution alone are enough to crush any so-called top-tier wealthy family in the world!"

"The details! Look at the details! Those standing at the very front are all elderly people with white hair! The further back you go, the younger they get! What does this show? It shows that in Wu Family Village, seniority and rules are ingrained in people's bones!"

Netizens have discerning eyes.

From these seemingly simple details, they glimpsed the terrifying, deep-seated sense of order in Wujia Village.

The camera finally stopped slowly in front of the magnificent Wu Clan Ancestral Hall.

The two tightly closed, massive vermilion wooden doors appeared even more imposing and mysterious under the lamplight.

Su Qinghuan's voice rang out again at just the right moment.

"What you see now is the core of Wujia Village and a symbol of their spirit—the Wu Clan Ancestral Hall."

"As far as we know, this ancestral hall has a history of over six hundred years. It has witnessed the establishment, prosperity, and glory of Wujia Village."

"It can be said that all the stories of Wujia Village are closely related to this ancestral hall."

"And today, the protagonist of this ancestral worship ceremony, the 'Little Grandfather' whom we all eagerly await, will also walk out from this ancestral hall."

Su Qinghuan's words acted as a trigger, instantly igniting the curiosity of all the viewers.

"Young Master! Is Young Master finally coming out?"

"Quick, quick! Give the camera a close-up of the ancestral hall gate! I can't wait to see the young master!"

"What kind of clothes will the young master wear today?"

"My expectations are through the roof! I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest!"

Su Qinghuan smiled slightly as she looked at the comments.

She knew that the time was almost right.

She glanced at the countdown on the screen.

There are ten minutes left until Mao Shi (5-7 AM).

Speaking slowly into the microphone in a suspenseful tone, she said, "Dear viewers, please be patient."

"Before the young master makes his official appearance, according to the ceremony schedule, we will first have the first part of the ceremony."

"Fire the cannons, play the music!"

"According to the records I have, the firecrackers set off in Wujia Village today were specially made and called 'Thunderclap.' There were a total of 99,999 shots."

"And the music being played is the 'Airs of the States and Odes' section of the Book of Songs, the oldest collection of poems in China."

"This is the highest-level ritual music used only by the ancient emperor when offering sacrifices to Heaven."

Su Qinghuan's commentary pushed the atmosphere in the live broadcast room to a new climax once again.

Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine firecrackers?

What were the rituals and music used by the emperor during his sacrificial rites to Heaven?

This...this is just too outrageous!

Just when everyone was completely stunned by the massive amount of information presented in the explanation...

A long, desolate horn sound, as if it came from the ancient wilderness, suddenly resounded throughout the entire valley!

"Waaah—"

The sound was so grand and so penetrating!

It was as if it wanted to completely tear apart the last vestiges of darkness before dawn!

Su Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat!

She knew this was a signal that the ancestral worship ceremony was about to begin!
