Chapter 98
98 Chapter 98-worsening situation
Xia Pingan’s spirits were lifted when he saw the realm Pearl. He had read about this realm Pearl before. This realm Pearl was the most crucial realm Pearl for Summoners to Master Water-type summoning spells. Water-type summoning spells were like water, ever-changing. The brilliance of using them depended on one’s heart, and the foundation of it was this realm Pearl.
The death rate of fusing with this realm Pearl was very low, but the success rate was very high. Therefore, this realm Pearl was very popular among Summoners and was one of the most popular ones.
However, since ancient times, there had never been a record of perfect fusion with this Dayu realm Pearl.
He put down this realm Pearl and picked up the gray realm Pearl to take a look. Xia Pingan did not know whether to laugh or cry. That gray realm Pearl was actually a ” betrayal attack ” to summon slave soldiers, which he had already fused with.
This realm Pearl was no longer of any use to him. He could only leave it for later.
After looking at the realm Pearl, Xia Pingan took the smaller box and opened it.
The box was opened, and there was a pure gold badge in the shape of a star.
The words ” 87th Legion ” were written on the bottom of the pure gold badge. In the middle of the badge was a symbol of two crossed swords holding a soul-soothing flag. This badge was the symbol of the Legion priest of the 87th Legion.
As long as he wore it, anyone who saw it would know that he was the priest of the 87th Division.
He had experienced a lot today, so there should be nothing else to do now. Xia Pingan thought for a while, then took out the realm Pearl that Yu the Great used to control the flood and began to merge.
……
The Thunderbolts were like dragons in the sky, tearing through the vast sky. Heavy rain poured down like the river. As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he found himself standing on the top of a mountain. He was completely drenched. The world at the foot of the mountain had become a flooded country. As far as he could see, it was misty with rain and fog. Everywhere was a vast ocean with surging floods.
Tens of thousands of Hua young and strong men were standing behind him from one mountain to another with a sad and despairing look.
Besides those Hua youths, there were also Giants behind him with a desperate look.
Other than the giant, there were also countless strange beasts that were being controlled by humans on the mountain.
In the silence, there was some movement at the foot of the mountain.
In the middle of the vast ocean, there was a man standing on the back of a strange beast that looked like an ox or a Dragon. He was not afraid of the vast ocean. He cut through the waves and crossed the water from a distance. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the man jumped off the strange beast in the water. He held a Jade token in his hand and raised it above his head. Then, he ran straight to the top of the mountain at lightning speed.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
“Emperor Shun’s Messenger has arrived in Xuanji.”
“Emperor Shun’s Messenger has arrived in Xuanji.”
The crowd cried out in alarm, looking at the newcomer with reverence.
Wherever the man went, the countless young men and Giants standing behind Xia ping ‘an made way for him.
That person rushed directly to the place where Xia Pingan was before stopping.
“Yu, receive the order!”
As soon as that person opened his mouth, his voice was majestic and thunderous. All the people on the mountain and the hillside knelt down. The giant knelt down, and so did the strange beasts.
Xia ping ‘an also knelt down.
“Yu, your father, chongbo su, has been controlling the flood for nine years. He has spent a lot of effort, but it was all in vain. All the riverbanks in the world have collapsed, and the rivers have overflowed. The central plain has become a swamp country, and countless creatures have died. Chongbo su has committed a sin that can not be forgiven. He has been condemned by Emperor Shun and executed in Yu mountain. Emperor Shun orders you to continue controlling the flood, and do not let the world down again.”
“Yu, receive the order!” Xia Pingan raised his hands and took the Jade token.
Emperor Shun’s Messenger left soon after. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he stood on the strange beast that looked like an ox, a flood Dragon, and crossed the water, disappearing into the vast ze country.
……
Although Emperor Shun’s Messenger had left, the flood-control Army on the mountain was still in a gloomy state.
After nine years of hard work, many people looked at the vast swamp country in despair, not knowing how to put an end to the flood.
Xia Pingan stood on a huge rock on the top of the mountain, holding the token of Emperor Shun high in his hand. He looked at the Black Mass of flood-control troops and roared with all his strength in the wind, rain, and lightning.
15 years. Everyone, give me 15 years. I’ll definitely find a way to calm the world down. Today, I swear to the heavens and earth that if I can’t calm the world down within 15 years, I’ll knock myself against a mountain and commit suicide to thank the people of the world!
The crowd fell silent. Then, someone roared, ” control the flood!
“Control the flood!”
“Even if we have to die, we have to cure this water!”
Slowly, one voice became ten, then a hundred. Finally, there was only one voice that could be heard all over the mountain. control the flood!
This voice completely drowned out the sound of thunder in the sky.
Right then, a golden snake shot down from the sky and was about to hit Xia Pingan’s head. However, a guard holding a huge axe beside Xia Pingan suddenly leaped up and split the golden snake in half. After that, the guard fell back to the ground steadily.
Everyone was used to it.
Xia Pingan swallowed his saliva and suppressed the shock in his heart. He continued to speak loudly, ” the methods we used to control the water were all wrong. We wanted to block the water, but everyone, think about it. Can the water be blocked? we’ve blocked it for nine years, and it rains every year. If we block the water, the more rain there is, the more water we block. It’s like a bowl full of water. If you continue to add water into it, how can it not overflow? ”
With this simple logic, everyone understood.
“If the water can’t be blocked, what should we do?” Someone immediately asked.
“I’ve observed over the past years. The further we go to the West, the higher the terrain will be; and the further we go to the East, the lower the terrain will be. There’s an ocean in the East, where water will flow from the high place to the low place. As long as we connect rivers and mountains, we will be able to solve the flood problem completely.”
The Golden snakes danced wildly in the sky, but they could not cover Xia Pingan’s voice.
More and more people’s eyes lit up, and their expressions became determined.
“Not only do we have to calm the flood, but we also have to think of a way to turn this water from bad to good, to bring good fortune to the common people.”
“Flood-control Pixiu.”
Xia ping ‘an looked down at the surging waves of the ze country at the foot of the mountain, but her mind was still flying beyond the clouds.
The world only knew that Yu the Great had diverted the water into the sea and quelled the flood in Huaxia. However, he didn’t know that Yu the Great’s flood-control might not be so simple.
Xia ping ‘an had studied history for many years in his previous life. After all kinds of research, he had a bold guess in his heart. Yu the Great led countless Chinese ancestors and capable people. When the world was flooded, he also made a great cause that ruled the world. Yu the Great used the world as his dojo, the mountains and rivers as his chess pieces, and the power to change the world. He used the surging flood to set up a peerless Fengshui array to protect the Chinese descendants for generations.
Yu the Great opened Hongze Lake for the Vermilion Bird, Tai Lake for the Black Tortoise, Dongting Lake for the Green Dragon, and Panyang Lake for The White Tiger. He turned the four Great Lakes into the four great Sacred Beasts, and protected China with the Feng Shui formation of the four great Sacred Beasts and the nine Cauldrons.
The person who fused with this realm Pearl might be able to channel the water into the sea to calm the flood, but he would never be able to reproduce the true hidden power of Yu the Great. This was the reason why no one had ever been able to fuse with this realm Pearl perfectly.
If his previous guess and research were correct, then, in order to control the flood according to that idea, in addition to leading the water into the sea, he would also have to lay a Feng Shui array of Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and black Tortoise in the four Great Lakes of Huaxia, turning the disaster of the flood into a benefit and stopping Jiuzhou. Only then could he achieve the result of the perfect integration of this realm Pearl.
The legend of the Great Flood in human history was not just a legend.
The story of Yu the Great controlling the flood was by no means a story, and many myths were not myths.
……
Time flew by. After Xia Pingan became the priest of the 87th Legion, two months passed by quickly.
Over the past two months, several major events had happened in Yizhou province. The first one was that Gao clan’s mines, companies and other assets were directly confiscated and taken over by Yizhou provincial military administration, which caused a great shock in Yizhou province.
The GAO family, which had once been famous in Yizhou province, had come to an end after the strange murder case. The entire family had disappeared and split up in just a few days.
In such a tense situation, the GAO clan’s encounter was quickly forgotten, except for some gossip. In the current era, more important things were coming one after another, which was too much for people to handle. The GAO clan’s matter was at most a small wave in the country of Dayan.
The second thing that happened in Yizhou province was that two more permanent space cracks were added in 1000-Dragons mountain range, one of which was in the underground cave.
The situation in the country of fire, both inside and outside of Yizhou province, had not improved in the past two months. Instead, it was rapidly deteriorating. The rapidly deteriorating situation had overwhelmed the governments and military of various countries. The situation in various places was getting more and more out of control.
In Asia, the space invasion of Japan, an island country, had completely gone out of control. There was already a tide of refugees in Japan, and all ships and planes leaving Japan were filled with refugees.
In Africa, countless magic fire spiders and magic liquid spiders rushed out of the Sahara Desert. The situation in more and more African countries was completely out of control and began to become a state of no government.
In Europe, the demon spirit wave in the British Isles once again surged. On September 27th, because the situation in Paris was out of control, the France government had to withdraw from Paris and prepare to move to France’s doomsday bunker.
Because the evacuation operation was leaked, when the France government’s agencies and personnel were evacuating from Paris, they were stopped by the protesters. Millions of angry Parisian citizens poured into the highways and airports, causing all the airports and roads to be paralyzed. In the end, an intense conflict broke out with the French military and police forces, which maintained order in Paris. It led to a tragedy, which caused thousands of casualties.
There was another shocking news that was spreading all over the world. It said that on the night of August 15th, when various Russian cities were attacked by meteorites, the Russia military had brazenly launched several missiles carrying hydrogen warheads into the space crack above Eurasia.
The hydrogen bomb launched by Russia detonated the moment it entered the spatial Rift, but it did not seem to have any effect.
This news, regardless of whether it was true or false, was still frightening.
In various parts of the southern light continent, because of the zombie virus brought by the Devil Rats, millions of refugees from various countries, in order to avoid the disaster and spatial invasion, broke through the fire country’s border control and all surged into the fire country’s territory.
In Yizhou province, more and more invading creatures were running out of the thousand Dragon Mountain range. There was no rest in Yizhou. In addition, the number of sudden space invasions was increasing. The gunfire inside and outside xinchuan city had been intense since the beginning of September. More and more invading creatures were rushing out of the two permanent space rifts in xinchuan city every day.
The 87th Division is under more and more pressure.
Xinchuan city’s water and power supply slowly became tense. Power outages began to occur frequently in the Urban area, and long lines began to form in places that provided water. Even though military control was implemented, the rush to buy goods in xinchuan city was still breaking out, and the public security situation was getting more and more severe.
The new recruits were stepping up their training, and the militia had also been established. More and more people armed with guns were on the streets, and the control of guns had been further relaxed. As long as one was a citizen of the country of fire, they could buy hunting rifles, rifles, pistols, and other self-defense weapons from the gun stores opened by the military.
The city was becoming more and more dangerous, and the supplies in the city were also becoming more and more scarce. In this case, many residents who originally lived in the city left xinchuan city in large batches with the tacit consent and support of the military control Committee. They drove off in SUVs or pickup trucks, carrying seeds, food, wild survival tools and hunting guns to take refuge in places with vast lands and few people.
The country of fire was vast but sparsely populated. At this time, leaving the city was a wise choice for many people.
Mo yanshao, tu POYi, Cao Xinghua, and Luna were recruited into the Yizhou demon guard and transferred to xinchuan. They only met Xia Pingan briefly before they began to carry out the tasks assigned by the 87th Division. Together with the military’s Special Forces, they went to the thousand Dragon Mountain range to eliminate the invading creatures.
After becoming the priest of the 87th Division, Xia Pingan did not have a few days of relaxation in his post. From the end of August, the Requiem rituals that he presided over became more and more frequent. By the middle of September, it finally became once every two days.
Why was it held once every two days? as the battle became more and more intense, more and more soldiers were sacrificed. There was a limit to the number of dead soldiers that could be accommodated in the mortuary of the hospitals and funeral parlors of xinchuan city. As long as it was more than two days, and there was no space in the mortuary, a Requiem ceremony would be held and the body would be cremated. Otherwise, there would be no place to place the new body and it would rot.
Under such circumstances, Xia Pingan’s divine power was being consumed at an extremely rapid rate. He had to use up at least 32 points of divine power each time to pacify the souls of at least several hundred soldiers of the Army who had sacrificed themselves.
After Xia ping ‘an’s divine power had been completely depleted, he could only rely on the level-1 divine power Pills provided by the Army to maintain the Requiem ritual.
As Xia Pingan held more and more Requiem ceremonies, his name finally spread over Yizhou province in only one or two months.
Almost everyone in Yizhou province knew that there was a priest in the 87th Division named Xia Pingan who had performed a very powerful and effective Requiem.
Every time Xia Pingan performed a Requiem, many soldiers of the 87th Division would come to the stadium to bid farewell to their comrades with Xia Pingan. Every time Xia Pingan finished his Requiem, everyone present would feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts. It seemed that the heroic spirit of the sacrificed soldier could really enter heaven through his Requiem.
In the eyes of the 87th Division’s Warriors, Xia Pingan had become the most powerful and respected Summoner in Yizhou province. Xia Pingan was The Guardian of the 87th Division’s Warriors.
Due to the rapid deterioration of the situation, all parties had accelerated their actions.
On the night of October 26th, Xia Pingan received news that his sister Xia Ning had entered the first priority evacuation list of Xianghe city. On the evening of the 27th, she would be evacuated from Xianghe city and enter the doomsday bunker codenamed Tianshou.
Two days ago, the first batch of people who entered the doomsday bunker in xinchuan city had been evacuated.
On the 27th, Xia ping ‘an took some time to return to Xianghe from xinchuan city to see Xia Ning off.
