When Wu You stood on the altar, his all-seeing eyes swept across the entire area, instantly pushing the atmosphere of the ancestral hall square to a new peak.

It was an atmosphere that was more solemn and sacred than before.

The thousands of villagers from Wujia Village in the square all trembled the moment they met the young master's gaze.

In the control room, Su Qinghuan looked at Wu You's posture on the main screen and felt as if she could hardly breathe.

She knew that the next segment would be the first climax of the entire ceremony.

"Old Wang, give us a close-up shot of him respecting the elderly." She gave the order in a deep voice through the internal channel.

As the camera switched, the aged yet dignified figure of Wu Jingzhi, the head steward, appeared on the live broadcast screen.

He held the silk scroll in his hand and walked step by step to the center of the altar.

He first bowed deeply in the direction of Wu You.

Then he slowly turned around, facing the square and the camera.

His weathered eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance at that moment.

He slowly unrolled the scroll in his hand.

He then handed it over to Wu You.

Everyone could clearly see that the scroll was written with a vermilion brush, with lines of vigorous and powerful characters full of the spirit of war!

"Dear viewers," Su Qinghuan's voice rang out at the opportune moment, "what we are about to do is the fifth item of the ceremony: the reading of the sacrificial text."

The original eulogy mainly praised the deceased's life and merits, which is also an old tradition of Wujia Village. However, the eulogy that Wu You read today is not just like that.

"According to the ritual record in my hand, this eulogy was written by the young master himself."

"Let us listen quietly to this voice from Wujia Village."

Su Qinghuan had just finished speaking.

Wu Youna's voice, though seemingly immature, was filled with boundless power, and it resounded throughout the entire world through the sound system in the square!

"This is the day before Lunar New Year's Eve, in the Chinese calendar, the year of Jia Chen (甲辰) and the Dragon!"

His voice was deliberate and rhythmic, as if it came from the distant river of history.

"Wu You, the unworthy 37th generation descendant of the Wu family, along with the entire clan of 3,762 people, respectfully offer sacrifices of meat, grains, and simple wine before the spirits of our ancestors!"

Just those first two sentences sent chills down the spines of the viewers in the live stream!

"Holy crap! This eulogy is so powerful!"

"Unworthy descendant Wu You... I fucking... Young master, you're being far too modest! If you're unworthy, then what are we? Dust?"

"This is a real eulogy! It's far more powerful than the stuff written by those so-called experts and scholars!"

Ignoring the shock from the outside world, Wu You continued to read in that solemn tone.

"It is said: The illustrious Wu family has a long and distinguished history. Originating from humble beginnings, it rose to prominence amidst chaos. Through six hundred years of trials and tribulations, and twenty generations of vicissitudes, our ancestors overcame countless obstacles and hardships to establish the foundation upon which we stand today, bringing glory to future generations!"

"However, every tree has its roots, and every river has its source. Although the descendants of the Wu family live in comfort, they have never forgotten the diligence of their ancestors; although they possess great wealth, they have never forgotten the hardships of starting their business!"

"Today, the Wu family has flourished, with numerous talented individuals. We control the lifeline of energy and dominate the forefront of technology. We are the wealthiest in the world and our power extends far and wide. However, all of this is not due to our own efforts, but truly the blessing of our ancestors!"

This section describes the history of Wujia Village and its current glory.

But between the lines, there is a deep sense of gratitude to the ancestors and a reminder to oneself.

There is no ostentation whatsoever, only a profound sense of historical weight.

However, just when everyone thought it was a routine eulogy, Wu You's tone changed again!

"However, looking around the world today, morality has collapsed, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. Even worse, there are unscrupulous neighboring countries, like dogs and rats, trying to steal the treasures of our Chinese civilization and seize the heritage of our nation!"

Wu You's voice suddenly became louder, filled with undisguised anger and disdain!

"To attempt to claim UNESCO World Heritage status under the guise of 'ancestor worship' is utterly ridiculous and will only invite ridicule from the world!"

"This is intolerable! What else is intolerable!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire live stream room erupted in excitement!

"Holy crap! Young Master is actually this brave?! He went straight for those filthy bastards?!"

"Damn it, I almost accidentally hurt the young master! When I saw the news about South Korea applying for UNESCO World Heritage status, I thought the young master was wasting public resources at this crucial moment, but I didn't expect him to confront them head-on in front of so many people on live stream!"

"Damn it, even the young master has started a group buy, let's just go for it!"

"Here it comes! Here it comes! The main event is here!"

"Holy crap! This young master is going to go head-to-head with South Korea!"

"The young master actually thought about South Korea's recent application for UNESCO recognition of ancestral worship during the ancestral rites?! What the heck?!"

"That was so satisfying! Well said! That's exactly how they should be called out! Those thieves are nothing but rats and dogs!"

Countless Chinese netizens felt an unprecedented sense of pride and exhilaration at this moment!

Wu You's voice continued.

"Therefore, I, Wu You, now lead the entire clan in performing the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to Heaven and informing our ancestors!"

"Ancestor worship is a tradition deeply ingrained in the Chinese nation for thousands of years! It is filial piety, it is our root, it is our soul!"

"The rites of our Chinese nation are witnessed by Heaven and Earth, and observed by the Sun and Moon! How dare you petty scoundrels utter a single word!"

"Today, I, from Wu Family Village, am willing to be the first in the world! With my humble Wu family members, I will uphold the mighty power of our Chinese nation!"

"To comfort the spirits of the countless martyrs of our Chinese nation!"

"To inspire the spirit of hundreds of millions of our Chinese compatriots!"

"From this day forward, all within the territory of my Chinese nation, wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the rivers flow, shall be Han land! Not a single needle, thread, blade of grass, or tree of the treasures of my Chinese heritage shall be touched by outsiders!"

"Those who offend China, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

"Those who steal from China, though powerful, will surely perish!"

When the last two lines, filled with the spirit of war and battle, roared out of Wu You's mouth.

The whole world seemed to fall silent!

At that moment, countless Chinese viewers in the live broadcast room felt a surge of excitement rush from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!

Their eyes welled up with tears.

Their chests were heaving violently.

Their bodies were trembling uncontrollably!

It was an emotion that had been suppressed for far too long, and at this moment it was released in its most complete way!

That is the purest pride and honor of being a descendant of the Chinese nation!

"Those who offend China, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

"Those who steal from China, though powerful, will surely perish!"

"Those who offend China, no matter how far away, will be punished!"

"Those who steal from China, though powerful, will surely perish!"

……

In an instant, these two sentences spread like wildfire, instantly filling the entire barrage of comments!

Every word looks like it was written in blood!

Every word embodies the shared sentiments of hundreds of millions of Chinese people!

Inside the control room, Su Qinghuan bit her lip hard to keep herself from crying out loud.

She finally understood Wu You's true purpose in having her broadcast the ceremony live.

He wasn't showing off his wealth.

This is not to boast about how glorious Wujia Village is.

He is speaking out for the entire Chinese nation!

He is making a declaration to the world in the most shocking and direct way.

China is not to be bullied!

Chinese culture is not to be desecrated by anyone!

This is the true spirit of China!

This is the true soul of a great nation!
