Firewood was the fire used to worship the heavens. Shaman was the spirit girl who served the gods. Song: Welcome the gods. Dance: Entertain the gods.
While the witches were singing and dancing, the sky began to change. First, a gust of wind blew, rustling the sixty-four colorful flags on the altar. Then, a faint yellow light that was almost indistinguishable from sunlight appeared in the sky like an auspicious cloud, scattering a golden glow that enveloped the altar below.
In Sei Itō's special world view, all of this was the external appearance of the world's power being activated.
At this time, Yueshen, who was next to Sei Itō, changed her expression slightly. Her face was solemn. She pinched her fingers together like an orchid and crossed her wrists in front of her. Then, ten faint flames suddenly appeared on her fingertips.
Yueshen raised her arms like she was drawing circles. There were illusions of arms around her, making her look like a living thousand-hand Guanyin. While maintaining this state, she slowly walked toward the altar.
Every time her jade feet stepped on the ground, there would always be an undetectable ripple in the air. It was like a ripple in the water that disappeared between heaven and earth.
However, in Ito Sei's perception, as these ripples spread out, the Yang and Five Elements between heaven and earth suddenly flowed. Gradually, they formed a vortex that ordinary people couldn't detect. As the Moon God moved, it flowed toward the altar.
"Whoosh!"
Every time Yueshen walked past a pile of firewood, the pile of firewood would suddenly expand as if it was poured with gasoline. It was also like an oil well that was lit up. A thick red and yellow pillar of fire rose into the sky.
After a while, Yueshen walked to the altar and said softly, "My King, it's time to worship the heavens."
Sei Itō nodded slightly and straightened his clothes. He strode onto the Jingdao. Under the illumination of the fire pillars on both sides, he walked step by step to the altar. He clasped his hands in front of him and bowed down.
Doing this three times could be considered as a good day.
"I am King Shun, the Emperor of Yu Dynasty. Surnamed Gui, Chen Clan, Yi. Today, we are praying in the wilderness. The House of Zhou lacked virtue, causing the world to fall into chaos. The feudal lords rose together, causing the common people to flee from the flames of war. For hundreds of years, there had been countless deaths and injuries. Skeletons were exposed in the wilderness. Men and women did not have enough food to fill their stomachs. They were poor and weak, and their homes were not homes. Yi could not bear to watch, so he rose up in Handan and became a warlord. Sei Itō straightened his back and raised his head to the sky and said loudly, "Let's stop the flames of war and unite the world. Let's put the Nine Cauldrons in the Tribute Chamber and achieve great things."
"This king is a pure child. Fearing that the Nine Prefectures would repeat the mistakes of the past, the vast land specially set up altars, three animals, and several spiritual women to invite the Gods with songs and dance to please the Gods. They ask the Gods of Heaven, Earth, and the Gods to bless them and continue the peace forever! "
After that. Ito Sei bowed down again, and this time, he was kneeling down.
Then, Sei Itō stood up again and said loudly, "However, if one does not have a proper title, one will not have a proper title. If one does not have a proper title, it will be difficult to control the nobles. If one's position is not respected, it will be difficult to control the nobles. How can the ruler of a country be virtuous to the world? Thus, this king decided to advance and ascend, imitating the Three Sovereigns of the ancient times and the Five Emperors of the recent times. My title is: Emperor! From now on, I will follow the example of the ancient Sovereigns and Emperors. I will be cautious and conscientious, fulfill my duties, and protect the peace of the people. I will raise men and women to fill their stomachs, and I will accumulate strength to continue the human race forever! "
Then, he bowed to the heavens and earth again.
After that, Sei Itō walked around the altar and stepped on the Jingdao again. He walked to the edge of the altar and walked up the stone steps. Under the scorching heat of the two pillars of fire, he walked step by step to the top of the altar.
First step, second step, third step …
Fifth step, sixth step, seventh step …
He walked up all twenty-seven stone steps and stood on the white marble platform at the top.
Almost as soon as Sei Itō's feet stepped on the platform made of white marble, a powerful force gushed out from the altar under his feet and bombarded the nine cauldrons.
"Buzz ~"
In an instant, there was a low muffled sound. Then, a dark and heavy light burst out from the nine cauldrons and began to flow in a mysterious way. Finally, it gathered on the cauldron at the center of the platform and formed a thick beam of light that shot toward Sei Itō.
Sei Itō, who did not feel threatened by the beam of light, did not dodge and let the beam of light shine on his body.
In the next moment, the void surged, and a pale yellow mist-like halo suddenly appeared around Sei Itō's body and slowly wriggled.
"This is … the Faith of the People?" Sei Itō, who noticed the changes in his surroundings, was slightly surprised and thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Sei Itō's heart moved slightly and looked up at the sky. Then, in the next second, a thick purple Qi dragon that ordinary people couldn't see immediately swayed its body and plunged down towards Ito Seiji.
"Whoosh!"
Like a hot fire meeting oil, the pale yellow mist around Sei Itō's body surged violently. Then, a faintly discernible purple dragon gradually emerged from the surging mist and circled around Sei Itō's body.
"Ah! That's a dragon!? "Seeing this scene, the people of Handan City below immediately exclaimed in shock.
In the next moment, without needing any instructions, all the people of Handan City kneeled down again and touched the ground with their heads, offering their most sincere wishes to the dragon and the king on the high platform.
In the next moment, the pale yellow mist around Sei Itō's body shook again and became thicker.
"It should be about time." After confirming his guess, Sei Itō ignored the changes around him and looked up at the nine cauldrons in front of him.
"Weng!"
Sure enough, in the next second, a low buzzing sound was heard again. A light that ordinary people could not see shot out from the cauldrons and directly bombarded the purple dragon that was circling around Sei Itō … At the same time, the dragon also opened its mouth and spat out a thick purple pillar of air. It divided into nine parts in the air and automatically entered the nine cauldrons.
Then, everything ended. The purple dragon turned into thousands of light beams and faintly blended into the air. The nine cauldrons also retracted their light beams and once again became ordinary bronze cauldrons, quiet and simple.
However, strangely, Sei Itō felt a strange connection with the nine cauldrons and the earth under his feet. Sei Itō even felt that as long as he thought about it, he could immediately vaguely feel the situation of the land under his rule. He would know whether the weather was good, whether there would be natural disasters, etc. It was very magical.
"Is this the change brought about by the nine cauldrons recognizing the Emperor?" Feeling the strange feeling in his heart, Sei Itō could not help but secretly think.
Immediately, Sei Itō did not hesitate and immediately walked in front of the nine cauldrons according to the feeling. He reached out and pressed his hand on the cauldron wall and silently felt it. Then, almost instantly, the situation of the land appeared in Sei Itō's mind.
"Looks like it's not wrong." Sei Itō used his actions to confirm his guess.
"It's just that the functions seem to be a bit lacking." Then, Sei Itō greedily muttered.
He was completely a full man who did not know the hunger of a hungry man! He could not imagine that this function was indeed dispensable to him, but to the Emperor of ancient times, it was an exaggerated cheating device! He could know in advance where the land might change and where the land was fertile enough to support the people. This was simply a supreme weapon that could transform oneself into a god and win the hearts of the people.
Then, he turned around and walked to the bottom of the platform again. Set off by the two kneeling Spiritual Ladies below, he looked down with arrogance and said with a voice that shook the heaven and earth, "From today onwards, I am the first Emperor!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty, the first Emperor." Fang Xuanling, who was born in Dahua of the Tang Dynasty, immediately understood and echoed.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, the first Emperor." Then, the ministers, madams, and surrounding soldiers all began to echo.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, the first Emperor." Finally, the surrounding citizens of Handan City echoed.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump …" Then, the dull sound of drums echoed between heaven and earth again. The Spiritual Ladies, who had just stopped dancing, once again started to dance beautifully amidst the rapid drumbeats. At the same time, they sang and used a strange Yin Yang Technique to create colorful petals, which scattered into the sky.
The strange smell of burning grass then spread in the field.
The Spiritual Ladies were still the Spiritual Ladies, but their songs had changed to soul worship songs, and their dances had changed to farewell dances. In their consciousness, the Gods and the souls of the dead that might exist in the sky were all sent away.
At the same time, the Moon Goddess, who was sitting in the center of the Jingdao, withdrew her hand and dispersed the Yin Yang Technique, dispersing the Five Elements Yin Yang Technique around her.
The blazing flames quickly dropped and turned back into normal firewood. The wood crackled as it burned.
Obviously, the entire sacrificial ceremony was coming to an end.
…
Half an hour later, everything was over. Sei Itō, who was now the first Emperor, brought Zhao Ya, Zhao Ni, Zhao Qian, Wu Tingfang, Guo Xiuer, and Ji Yanran onto the carriage that they came in. Under the eyes of the officials and citizens, they left the sacrificial ground first.
Then, the officials and their wives all boarded their carriages and left the venue.
Then, the surrounding citizens followed.
As for the remaining soldiers and the Yin Yang Family, they needed to escort the nine cauldrons back to Handan City.
Then, everything went smoothly. In the blink of an eye, another two days had passed.
This morning, in the palace hall.
Sei Itō squinted his eyes and looked at the silver-haired Moon Goddess, who was kneeling in the hall, and said softly, "Moon Goddess, it's almost time. How's the answer I wanted?"
"The leader replied that in half a month, he will come to Handan City to visit Your Majesty." Moon Goddess leaned forward slightly and replied softly.
"Half a month … Okay, I'll give him half a month. If he doesn't appear by then, the Yin Yang Family can wait for a new leader," Sei Itō said coldly.
Moon Goddess was silent.
"Humph." Sei Itō snorted and got up to leave the hall.
