Fabricating myths, starting with the creation of eight fictional ancient tribes

The voice just fell.

The figure then transformed into countless points of starlight and dissipated into the air.

"I will obey the ancestral decree!"

Ji Wen knelt down with a thud, crying her heart out.

"My Ji family... has never been forgotten!"

"We are the guardians! We are the protectors!"

The thousands of clansmen behind him also knelt down in unison, their cries shaking the heavens.

Years of grievances and confusion vanished in this moment.

Instead, there is an unprecedented sense of pride and responsibility.

next second.

The enormous Jizhou cauldron once again shone with dazzling golden light.

Countless densely packed golden ancient seal characters floated out from inside the cauldron.

Arranged and combined in mid-air, they finally coalesced into a virtual book.

[The Book of Enlightenment]

The pages turn automatically.

Every word contains profound truths.

"This is……"

Ji Wen raised his head and looked at the floating celestial book, trembling with excitement.

"This is a cultivation method left to us by our ancestors!"

No instruction is needed.

No explanation is needed.

The moment the Heavenly Book was formed.

Several promising junior members of the Ji family were kneeling in the front row.

Suddenly, my mind became clear.

They instinctively sat cross-legged, their hands forming a strange hand seal.

"Buzz—"

A faint glow began to appear around them.

That's a sign that spiritual energy is entering the body!

That marked the beginning of the path to transcendence!

The night was as dark as ink, yet it could not conceal the ancestral home of the Ji family in Jizhou.

The precious light soared into the sky.

Before the bronze cauldron, three hundred descendants of the Ji family sat cross-legged.

They resemble silent stone statues.

But within their minds, everything had already been turned upside down.

"I saw it..."

An eighteen-year-old boy, his tightly closed eyes trembling slightly.

Tears of excitement clung to her eyelashes.

"It was a tree, towering into the clouds, its canopy obscuring the entire sky."

"On each leaf, a star is held aloft."

"It's so vast... Is this the Great Wilderness?"

The middle-aged man sitting next to him was also flushed and trembling.

Although he did not see the specific scene.

But the exhilarating feeling of breaking free from shackles deep within his soul made him almost want to roar to the heavens.

"Out of body... I really felt like I was floating."

"My physical body is no longer a prison; all things in heaven and earth resonate with me."

"Is this enlightenment? Is this what they call a predestined connection to immortality?"

As more and more people got into the mood, the atmosphere of the entire ancestral home changed.

The originally thin mountain mist seemed to have been summoned by some force.

They are flocking here in a frenzy.

Gradually, the fog became thick and viscous, with a faint milky white halo.

That's spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so rich it's almost liquefied!

"Boom!"

Faintly, a low rumble of thunder echoed through the valley.

That was not the thunder of nature, but the echo of the Great Dao, the cheer of the rules.

That night, no one in the Ji family slept.

The clarion call of a great era of contention has been sounded.

And these three hundred Ji family disciples who attained enlightenment overnight...

Like three hundred sparks about to ignite a prairie fire.

This once-obscure branch is destined to play a significant role in the years to come.

To compete with those legendary geniuses.

……

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds.

The online world, however, is already boiling over.

A pinned post, like a depth charge, exploded on the occult forum.

Posted by: Ji Wen, a branch elder of the Ji family.

The title is extremely short, yet carries immense weight:

[Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Ji! The Ji family branch has successfully reclaimed its inheritance!]

The content is even more astonishing:

[Thanks to Young Master Ji's guidance, this old man led the entire clan to find the ancestral relic—]

The Jizhou Cauldron!

Using this tripod as a medium, I thank my unworthy descendants of over three hundred.

Enlightenment in a single night, stepping into the gate of cultivation!

The entire Ji family remembers their ancestral precept: Guard the tripod of Ji Province and safeguard the Great Xia Dynasty!

This oath, may Heaven and Earth bear witness!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The comment section crashed instantly as millions of replies flooded in like snowflakes.

"Holy crap! Three hundred people attained enlightenment in one night? Are they mass-producing immortals?"

"The Jizhou Cauldron? That's one of the nine cauldrons cast by Yu the Great in legend! It actually exists?"

"Young Master Ji is amazing! He can create an entire cultivation family with just a few pointers?"

"What does enlightenment feel like? Can you fly? Can you unleash energy blasts?"

The curiosity of netizens was completely piqued.

Although everyone has only a superficial understanding of the so-called "enlightenment,"

But everyone understands that this is the ticket to extraordinary power.

The Ji family's frankness is both a boast and a declaration.

It proclaims the return of the ancient family and the revival of the Great Xia mythology.

But this is just the beginning.

The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the Great Xia.

Those ancient families that are usually extremely low-key, and even seem somewhat dilapidated,

The entire clan has gone mad.

"Quick! Go back to our hometown!"

Turn the ancestral home upside down! From the cellar to the roof beams!

Don't miss even the smallest rat hole!

"Even something left behind by our ancestors, like a chamber pot, is a token of inheritance!"

A grand "treasure hunt"

It was rolled out across the entire 9.6 million square kilometers of land in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Meanwhile, major international powers also became restless.

Although they couldn't understand what "enlightenment" or "Jizhou Ding" meant.

But that mysterious pressure from the East did indeed reach the other side of the ocean.

"Damn it! What on earth happened in Great Xia?"

In the secret chamber of an ancient Western family, a duke angrily smashed the wine glass in his hand.

"First came the awakening of dragon blood, then the emergence of true dragon cubs, and now three hundred people have suddenly appeared who have collectively attained enlightenment!"

"Their extraordinary progress has left us a century behind!"

"And what about us? What are we doing?"

Still studying those damn vampire legends?

Panic is spreading.

Jealousy is growing.

These ancient foreign families began,

They went on a frenzy, digging through their own castle and manor.

They even went so far as to dig up their ancestors' graves in an attempt to find even one "legacy token" that could counter the East.

Unfortunately, they found nothing but a pile of rotting bones and rusty armor.

As a result, some shameless people began to have crooked ideas.

The first to be affected is South Korea, which claims to be the origin of the universe.

They openly clamored at international forums:

Actually, we are descendants of the Great Xia Yan Kingdom!

Our history books write it very clearly.

Our ancestors also came from that land!

We should also be entitled to go back and trace our ancestry! We want to enter the country!

We must seek our heritage!

Immediately afterwards, Japan also retaliated.

【We are the same! Our ancestors were young boys and girls brought by Xu Fu!】

We too have the blood of the Yellow Emperor flowing in our veins! There is no doubt about that!

We want to go home! We want to be recognized as our ancestors!

Besides.

In overseas Chinese communities in Singapore, Malaysia, and other places,

A wave of people returning to China has also begun to emerge.

Countless people waved their banknotes, wanting to buy a plane ticket to Great Xia.

They are even willing to give up their current nationality, just for a chance to "get lucky".

The official response from the Great Xia Dynasty to this shameless act was just one word:

"roll!"

At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference, the spokesperson had a stern expression.

His tone was so forceful it was chilling.

"The mythology of the Great Xia Dynasty is unique to the Great Xia!"

"No one who is not of our kind shall covet it! Nor is it worthy to covet it!"

"All foreign nationals are prohibited from entering the country, effective immediately! This is an ironclad rule!"

"Visiting relatives and friends? Sure! But only people within the Great Xia territory are allowed to leave the country to reunite with their families."

"Furthermore, once abroad, one may not return until the situation in this era of great conflict becomes clear!"

This ban effectively dashed everyone's hopes.

You want to come back and take advantage of the situation?

No way!

What's even more satisfying is the reaction to those who gave up their citizenship in their early years for wealth and status.

These "banana people" (people who are culturally Westernized and lack cultural connection) now want to return to China because they see benefits there.

The people of Daxia were surprisingly unanimous in their attitude.

"Traitor, get out!"

"Back then, you looked down on our country because it was poor and weak."

They eagerly ran off to serve as dogs for the foreigners.

"They even called us the 'sick men of East Asia' online and said we had no manners."

"Now that our motherland is powerful and our myth has been revived, do you want to come back and act like big shots again?"
