Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 84 Yu the Great Ascends the Throne, and a Dynasty is Established

But Yu the Great had no idea what the red-bottomed monkey was thinking. ♛🍮 ➅9ѕ𝕙𝓤Ж.Ć𝔬𝐌 ☟🐯

When he saw the red-bottomed macaque commanding the towering wave to crash down, he roared and swung his axe down with a powerful axe light, splitting the giant wave in two.

Seeing the giant wave split open by Yu the Great, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the red-bottomed macaque.

Yu the Great was only at the level of a mere Golden Immortal, yet he was able to split his giant wave. Although this was just a casual masterpiece by the Red-Bottomed Macaque, it was still something that a mere Golden Immortal could not break!

"As expected, none of the disciples of the Human Teachings are normal," the red-bottomed macaque thought to itself as it looked at Yu the Great.

Although that was what he thought, his hands did not stop. With a wave of his hand, the floodwaters instantly transformed into a vicious dragon that rushed towards Yu the Great.

"Well done!" Upon seeing this, Yu the Great roared and leaped into battle with the evil dragon.

Even with the aid of the mountain-splitting axe, the vast difference in strength still led to Yu's defeat.

"Retreat!" Seeing that he couldn't defeat the red-bottomed macaque, Yu the Great didn't waste any words and directly led his men to flee.

"Those three beat me up before, so I'll stop you three times in return." The Red-Bottomed Macaque said calmly as it watched Da Yu and the others leave.

"Big sister, are we just going to watch Yu the Great get bullied?" Bixiao said to Yunxiao.

"This is what our master instructed, and we have no choice." Yunxiao actually wanted to help Dayu, but she received a message from Panhuang saying that she was not allowed to help Dayu unless Dayu was in mortal danger or Dayu came to beg them.

But the Three Immortals knew that Yu would never ask them for help unless absolutely necessary. During the years of flood control, Yu had only asked them for help once. That time, what stopped Yu was an evil dragon. This evil dragon was as strong as a Golden Immortal and had killed many humans. Yu and the others fought with it for a long time, and even Yu was seriously injured.

In the end, having no other choice, Yu the Great begged the Three Immortals of the Clouds to kill the evil dragon. So, it's likely that Yu the Great wouldn't have asked them for help until the very last moment.

"Forget it, let's just wait and see." Qiongxiao sighed helplessly in the end.

Back at the camp, Yu the Great frowned. He then summoned Yinglong and asked him to investigate the Red-bottomed Macaque.

Yinglong was supposed to have attained enlightenment during the time of Xuanyuan, but the great battle between Xuanyuan and Chiyou in this life was a scheme, and Yinglong had no chance to appear before Xuanyuan. So in the end, Yinglong appeared before Yu the Great.

Then there's the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. She should have appeared in the era of Xuanyuan, but she's still in the Heavenly Court as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"Yes!" Yinglong accepted the order and went to investigate.

In reality, Yinglong's so-called investigation was to return to the East Sea to see Zhulong. Zhulong had survived the Great Calamity of the Three Clans and should know a lot of things.

When Zhulong learned of Yinglong's purpose, he smiled.

"Please enlighten me, Ancestor." Yinglong cupped his hands to Zhulong.

"That demon monkey is called the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, also known as Wuzhiqi of the Huai River. He is a natural water god. Wuzhiqi should not cause trouble on his own initiative, since it is well known that he is timid. But this time he actually obstructed your flood control efforts, which is really strange!" Zhulong stroked his beard and said.

"Ancestor, is there any way to deal with Wuzhiqi of the Huai River?" Yinglong asked again.

"Unless you are stronger than him, even if he can't beat you in the water, if he wants to escape, no one can catch him." Zhulong shook his head.

"Thank you for your clarification, Ancestor!" Yinglong cupped his hands to Zhulong and then left Longyuan.

"How was it?" Da Yu asked after returning to the camp.

"This demon monkey is named Wuzhiqi, and he is the water god of the Huai River," Yinglong said.

He then told Yu everything that Zhulong had said, and Yu's brows immediately furrowed upon hearing it.

"Wuzhiqi? Why isn't he staying in the Huai River? What's he doing here?" Da Yu covered his forehead, looking helpless.

"I don't know. I heard from the ancestor that Wuzhiqi is timid by nature and usually doesn't leave his residence by the Huai River."

"How strange!" Da Yu frowned even more deeply.

"Yu, could we try negotiating with Wuzhiqi?" Yinglong suddenly said.

"negotiation?"

"Yes, when we escaped earlier, he didn't seem to stop us. Although we don't know why, we can be sure that he didn't intend to kill us!" Yinglong analyzed.

"We can give it a try!" Da Yu thought for a moment and then nodded.

After resting for a few days, Yu the Great led his flood control team to the mountains along the Yellow River once again.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Yu the Great immediately spotted the red-bottomed macaque sleeping at the foot of the mountain.

"What? You already have a way to deal with me?" the red-bottomed macaque said with a smile after seeing Yu the Great.

"Wuzhiqi! I want to talk to you!" Yu the Great said after seeing the red-bottomed macaque.

"Who told you my name? Was it those three female immortals?" When the red-bottomed macaque heard the name Wuzhiqi, it stood up, a strange look flashing in its eyes.

"Female immortals? Three? You know my master?" Da Yu asked after hearing these keywords.

"Hmph! It's more than just knowing them, I'm way too familiar with them!" The red-bottomed macaque's tone turned cold.

"Since you know my master, please be merciful. My human race will be eternally grateful!"

"Grateful beyond measure? Do you know why I stopped you?" A mocking smile appeared on the red-bottomed macaque's face.

Upon hearing what the red-bottomed macaque said, Yu felt a sense of unease. Wuzhiqi probably had a grudge against the Human Sect, otherwise he wouldn't have come to stop him.

"Fine! I'll let you be a confused fool for now! Hahaha!" the red-bottomed macaque said with a laugh.

After saying that, the Red-Bottomed Macaque waved its hand, and two giant waves crashed down on Yu the Great and the others.

Seeing that negotiations were not going well, Yu the Great lost interest in further negotiations.

After cleaving the two giant waves in two with his axe, Yu the Great felt he still had some strength left, and then he charged towards the Red-Bottomed Macaque once again.

This time, the Red-Bottomed Macaque did not use its strength to overpower Yu the Great, but instead fought with him. However, no matter how hard Yu the Great tried, he could not even touch the hem of the Red-Bottomed Macaque's clothes.

After several dozen rounds, the red-bottomed macaque got bored and with a wave of its hand, a water arrow struck Yu the Great in the chest, sending him flying.

After being knocked away, Yu the Great showed a look of fear on his face. It seemed that the red-bottomed macaque had been toying with him!

"Retreat!" Da Yu said through gritted teeth.

In the camp.

"What do we do now? Let's hear your opinions," Da Yu asked, looking at his companions who were in low spirits.

"I don't know!" someone said, looking down.

"Why don't we go and ask someone for help?" Yinglong said.

"Hire someone? Who should we hire?"

"Yu's master is a disciple of a holy master, so why don't we invite Yu's master over?" Yinglong said after thinking for a moment.

"No!" Da Yu refused without even thinking.

"Why?" Yinglong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"For no reason, it's just not the right time yet." Da Yu's expression was somewhat displeased.

"Yu, you must know that behind us are all of humanity. If you disregard humanity for the sake of a little bit of face, then you will be a sinner against humanity," Yinglong said excitedly as he stood up.

"Anyway, we can't go to Master." Da Yu's tone was very unpleasant.

"Hmph! If anything happens, you will be a sinner of the human race. You will be written into the history of the human race by the Ancestor of Literature and cursed by the human race for generations to come." Yinglong looked coldly at Da Yu, and then left the camp directly.

Seeing this, the others looked at Yu with a strange expression, since Yu had the ability to solve the current problem, but he didn't want to use it.

A few days later, Yu the Great came to the Red-Bottomed Macaque alone, but when he returned, the Red-Bottomed Macaque was gone, which puzzled him.

But now is not the time for doubt. Since the demon monkey is not here, we should quickly split this place open. Once we open it up, the flood can flow into the sea.

Without a second thought, Yu the Great raised his axe and cleaved it down. With two strokes, he carved a ravine nearly a hundred feet long into the mountain.

Upon seeing that the passage had been cleared, Da Yu smiled. He wanted to hurry back to the camp to tell everyone the news.

When everyone first heard the news, they didn't believe it. But when they saw the mountain that had been split open, their faces lit up with excitement.

"Let's go to the source now. When we divert the water from the source to the route we've planned, the flood will recede," Yu said with great enthusiasm.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

When the news of the final checkpoint being breached reached Xuanyuan City, Emperor Shun smiled. Back then, Emperor Yao had failed to control the flood, but he had succeeded in doing so. That was his skill.

Emperor Shun knew how to use people. With this in mind, he had already decided on his successor, who would be Yu the Great, because he had helped the human race control the floods. He was worthy of being the sovereign.

……

Looking at the endless high wall stretching before him, and listening to the roaring water on the other side of the wall, Yu the Great took a deep breath.

"Chop!" Yu roared, leaping into the air and cleaving the high wall with his axe, instantly creating a gash in the wall.

After this opening appeared, the floodwaters on the other side of the wall seemed to have found an outlet and surged out all at once. At first, it was just a small opening, but under the pressure of the floodwaters, it turned into a large gap in just a few breaths.

"Attention! Prepare to redirect traffic!" Upon seeing this scene, Da Yu shouted loudly.

After he finished speaking, Yinglong took the lead and, under his control, the floodwaters were diverted to the predetermined route. The others also began to actively control the floodwaters and divert them to the pre-prepared sections of the road.

And so, thanks to everyone's efforts, the floodwaters flowed into the sea along the predetermined route.

"I declare that the task of controlling the floods is complete!" Yu the Great shouted in triumph as the floodwaters flowed into the sea.

"We won! We won! We won!" The crowd raised their tools and cheered loudly.

Right after the flood control was successful, the human race's fortune suddenly surged. Sensing this surge in fortune, Pan Huang's face revealed a smile.

"My position as the protagonist of heaven and earth is secure," Pan Huang muttered to himself.

Nuwa in the Nuwa Palace also showed a smile. The position of the human race as the protagonist of the world was secure. As the Holy Mother of the human race, her fortune also increased accordingly.

Upon returning to Xuanyuan City, Dayu felt the warmth of home for the first time, and a happy smile appeared on Nüjiao's face.

After Yu returned, Emperor Shun took him under his wing and began to teach him how to handle some affairs of the human race.

Yu the Great was very talented and learned quickly. He mastered the whole system in no time and even applied it to other situations, offering his own insights.

Seeing this, Emperor Shun knew that the time was ripe and it was time for him to abdicate.

When the Five Emperors attained enlightenment, the Sages did not come to witness the ceremony, and after attaining enlightenment, the Five Emperors did not appear in the Fire Cloud Cave, but went to guard the ancestral temple of the human race. Therefore, there were not many rules.

After Emperor Shun attained enlightenment, Yu the Great became the new supreme ruler.

The first thing Yu did after taking office was to reform the official system. He overthrew the previous system and established a more complete and convenient one, which was well received by everyone.

In the third year of Yu's reign, he felt the time was ripe. He then announced on the altar that from this day forward, the tribal system would end. He integrated the tribes and created the first dynasty, named Xia, and all human beings were children of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"A change of dynasty has occurred," Pan Huang muttered to himself.

After the Xia Dynasty was established, some systems applicable to tribes were gradually abandoned by Yu the Great. He replaced the tribal system with other terms and corresponding systems, which were the predecessors of the vassal states and the ancestors of the prefectures, counties and counties of later generations.

After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great's control over various regions became more centralized, and the human race also developed a unified belief.

In the past, the beliefs of different tribes were not complete. Even though Fuxi made the dragon the totem of the human race, there were still some tribes that did not believe in the dragon.

Now that the Xia Dynasty has been established, the beliefs of the human race have been further unified, their cohesion has been strengthened, and their fortune has also improved.

"Dynasties!" Pan Huang looked at the Xia Dynasty, which was gradually perfected by Yu the Great, and felt a sense of emotion. So this is how dynasties are formed!

After the Xia Dynasty was established, although the human race's fortune was concentrated, it was not stable. There was a feeling that it could fall apart at any time, and Yu the Great also felt this.

He racked his brains for a long time and finally came up with a solution: to divide the land into nine provinces and use the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the fate of the human race.

In this way, the human race's fortune will be concentrated in the Nine Provinces, and the human race will abandon other regions and live only in the Nine Provinces.

Without further ado, once the plan was set, Yu the Great sent people to find materials suitable for casting the Nine Tripods.

Upon seeing this, Pan Huang immediately instructed the Three Immortals to hand over the copper from Shou Mountain to Yu the Great. There was no better material than the copper from Shou Mountain for forging the Nine Cauldrons that would suppress the fortune.

Besides the copper from Shoushan, Panhuang also sent Lingchui with the Three Immortals to help Yu the Great forge the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the human race's fortune. In this life, the Nine Cauldrons must be forged to the highest specifications.
