Chapter 533 The Arrival of Yu the Great! Personally Instructing His Son!
Time flies.
Before we knew it, quite a few years had passed.
On this day, another purple aura descended from the sky above the human race.
Unlike the previous purple wisps, this one was different.
This time, the purple aura is even more profound and stable, as if it contains the weight and bearing power of the earth.
As this purple aura descended, the earth trembled slightly, the mountains and rivers responded, and the four seas surged.
Penglai Immortal Island, on the main island, inside the Eight Views Palace.
"Um?"
Upon sensing this, the Supreme Sage slowly opened his eyes.
Then, his gaze shifted, piercing through the void, and looked towards the area where the human race was located.
"The last of the Five Emperors is about to be born."
"Once he attains enlightenment, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race will all return to their rightful places."
"The golden age of humanity... is coming."
The Supreme One sighed softly, then glanced sideways in the direction of the Netherworld, and said again:
"I don't know either."
"To whom will my disciple give this teaching spot?"
Long ago, Niu Ben had requested a spot to educate the Five Emperors and given it to the Niu clan.
Later, he went to see the Sage Tongtian and obtained two places to educate the Five Emperors from him.
One of them, Niu Ben gave to the human race, and now Niu Ben has one left.
Meanwhile, inside the Biyou Palace on Suboshima Island.
Tongtian also sensed the purple aura descending upon the human race and smiled slightly:
"This kid took two education slots from me before, and gave one to a human."
"Now, only the last of the Five Emperors remains."
"Who will he give it to?"
"The Bull Clan and the Human Clan have already educated the Five Emperors, so is this meant for the people of the Underworld?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Tongtian's mind.
Thinking of this, his expression became quite expectant.
On another secondary island, inside the Jade Void Palace.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable naturally sensed that the last of the Five Emperors was about to be born.
"Wait until the Five Emperors attain enlightenment."
"The era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race is also coming to an end."
"I wonder what will become of this primordial world afterward?"
……
Meanwhile, the human capital city of Pucheng was located there.
"Um?"
Emperor Shun suddenly opened his eyes, raised his gaze slightly, and looked up at the sky above the capital.
"It seems it's time to head to the Human Emperor Realm."
As he looked at it, Emperor Shun sighed.
As that purple aura descended, he received guidance and realized that his mission had been completed.
Subsequently, Emperor Shun summoned his ministers and announced his impending departure.
Upon hearing this news, the human courtiers were naturally extremely reluctant to part with him and bid him farewell with tears in their eyes.
Soon, Emperor Shun left the human capital and, guided by others, entered the human holy land, the Human Emperor Realm.
In the Human Emperor Realm, Huang Tian, Zhen Yuanzi, the Three Ancestors of the Human Race, Cangjie, and other high-ranking officials welcomed Emperor Shun back to the throne.
……
At this time, the Netherworld is located.
Niu Ben is cultivating in that secluded, blessed land.
Suddenly, he awoke from his cultivation, his gaze sharpened, piercing through the boundary wall as he looked at the purple aura that was continuously gathering above the human race.
After a brief glance, Niu Ben's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"This is... the Earth Emperor Yu is about to be born!"
"I will personally go to guide and educate the last of the Five Emperors!"
Niu Ben muttered to himself.
He had not paid much attention to the quotas for educating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race.
After all, with his current cultivation level, that little bit of merit power is nothing at all.
Moreover, he was a Primordial Golden Immortal who attained enlightenment through his own efforts, and was not bound by the will of Heaven. Therefore, the merits of Heaven were of little use to him.
However, his father, Niu Ba, and the human Huang Tian approached him one after another, pleading with him to secure educational quotas for the Niu and human races.
Although Niu Ben was helpless, he still went to the Three Pure Ones and successfully obtained the quota for the Niu Clan and the Human Clan to educate the Five Emperors.
Now, seven of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have emerged, leaving only the last of the Five Emperors.
Others might not know this, but Niu Ben was very clear about it.
The last of the Five Emperors to be born was Yu the Great.
In addition, Niu Ben also knew that Yu the Great was connected to the subsequent great calamity of the primordial era.
It was precisely because of these considerations that Niu Ben decided to personally go to the human race to teach Yu the Great how to attain enlightenment.
Having made up his mind, he vanished from that secluded, naturally blessed land in an instant.
When they appeared, the Minotaur had already entered the human territory.
With the passing of Emperor Shun, no new emperor was appointed.
Humanity also experienced a great upheaval.
The earth loosened, the seas surged, the sea level rose continuously, and floods raged everywhere.
Those once fertile lands were submerged by floods, and many human beings were displaced.
All the accumulated experience in flood control has become ineffective in the face of this unprecedented flood.
In the midst of this devastating flood, a baby boy was born in a human village called Shiniu.
His father was named Gun, and his mother was from the Youxin clan. They named him Yu.
Yu was born with a robust physique, broad brows, and eyes that seemed to contain the steadfastness and resilience of the earth.
At the very moment of its birth, a figure appeared.
The person who arrived was none other than Niu Ben.
When Yu the Great's parents, Gun and Youxin, saw Niu Ben, they were naturally shocked.
Although Niu Ben concealed his aura completely, the invisible Daoist charm emanating from him made the two of them want to bow down in worship.
Niu Ben paid no attention to this, his gaze falling on the child held in Youxin's arms, and he said calmly:
"This child is destined to be with me."
"I wish to take him as my disciple and teach him with utmost care. Are you both willing?"
Gun and Youxin agreed without hesitation after hearing Niu Ben's words.
"My son Yu, to be appreciated by the Great Immortal and taken as his disciple is the greatest blessing of his life!"
Gun said excitedly.
Although he knew nothing about Niu Ben's background, he could clearly sense that the Dao aura emanating from the person in front of him was comparable to that of a sage.
Niu Ben then stayed with the human race.
When Yu the Great awoke from his slumber, he formally accepted him as a disciple, thus beginning his teaching of Yu the Great.
Niu Ben took Da Yu on a journey through various parts of the human race.
Along the way, they passed through villages submerged by floods and saw many homeless people crying in the ruins.
They walked along the breached riverbank and watched as the lives of the people who had fought against the flood were swallowed up by the deluge.
The more Yu saw, the heavier his heart became.
On this day, Yu knelt before Niu Ben, his gaze resolute, and said:
"teacher."
"This disciple wishes to control the floods and save the people from the deluge!"
Niu Ben glanced calmly at Da Yu, his gaze deep, and said:
"Yu the Great".
"Controlling floods is no easy task."
"The root cause of the floods lies in the turmoil of the seas and the imbalance of the water system."
"It is not possible for anyone without great supernatural powers, great perseverance, and great wisdom to do this."
"Have you thought it through?"
