Global Flooding: I built a city

Hu Danyouyou stood in the core area of ​​Huoyun Cave, his eyes sweeping over the human sages around him.

Fuxi, Shennong, Chiyou and others sat around him. The atmosphere was solemn and slightly depressing.

"Speaking of which..." His voice was low and calm, "Actually... apart from His Majesty the Yellow Emperor, you still don't know my true identity, right?"

"Hey, kid, you're so arrogant. Tell me, I want to know what your so-called real identity is." Chi You sneered.

Obviously, it is impossible for this wisp of divine consciousness to know Hu Danyouyou's true identity.

Of course, Hu Danyouyou would not reveal any identity other than Danyou. He smiled and said calmly, "If I only say my name, you may not understand. To put it simply..."

"My current identity should be the common descendant of the Three Pure Ones. I am also the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the Daluo Golden Immortal with the highest cultivation under Yunxiao of the Jie Sect, and the only junior brother of the Great Master Xuandu of the Human Sect."

"If that's the case... I think you guys can understand, right?"

"certainly!"

Without waiting for anyone to respond, Hu Danyouyou immediately spoke up: "These identities are all external things. In front of you, I am just a human being, just a human being."

Fuxi nodded slightly: "I like to hear that."

His eyes were piercing, as if he could see through Hu Danyouyou's heart: "Since your identity is so complicated, and you are willing to pretend to be the emperor, there must be another hidden story behind it."

"That's right." Hu Danyou nodded, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "It all started with the 'Chao Creatures'."

"Creatures of Chaos?" Chi You snorted coldly, "I have heard of these guys. Didn't they exist at the beginning of the prehistoric times?"

"That's right." Hu Danyou nodded, "But they are not just destroyers. On the contrary, they are real plunderers."

Fuxi frowned slightly: "Plunderer? Plunder what?"

“It’s close at hand, yet so far away.”

Hu Danyouyou said calmly. At this point, these human ancestors should actually understand what he meant.

"You mean... they want to devour the power of the entire prehistoric world?" Ji Xuanyuan frowned slightly.

"That's right." Hu Danyouyou's answer was chilling. "Their target is far more than just the human race. The entire prehistoric world is nothing more than a chess game or a pot of soup to them."

Shennong interrupted, "What about the real Emperor Xin? Why did he become their pawn?"

“This…” Hu Danyouyou was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “I speculate that there may be some special power hidden in his blood. This power is exactly the carrier that Chaos creatures need.”

"Carrier?" Fuxi repeated the word thoughtfully.

"Yes."

Hu Danyou nodded, "They need a powerful host to carry their power. And the True Emperor Xin... he seems to be the chosen one. They need him to accomplish something that the chaotic creatures cannot accomplish in the prehistoric world."

"As to what those things are specifically, I'm not quite sure at the moment."

"So, he is also a victim?" Shennong asked with a frown.

“Not exactly.”

Hu Danyouyou shook his head. "There is a special quality in his personality. This quality is exactly what the chaotic creatures need. As for what it is..."

"I think I don't need to say much, the ancestors should be able to see it."

"So, they are using him to achieve their own goals?"

"That's right." Hu Danyou nodded, "But the specific purpose... I don't know yet."

"What's your purpose?"

Chi You suddenly spoke, staring at him sharply, "Since you are willing to pretend to be the emperor, there must be other reasons behind it. Why not tell me about it?"

Hu Danyouyou's mouth curled up into a bitter smile: "If you want to talk about it, it's actually not that complicated. It's just a dispute among the three religions and the great calamity of the Conferred God."

"The Jie Sect chose Dashan to be its supporter during the Conferred God Tribulation, while the Chen Sect chose Xiqi."

"Now Xiqi has the senior brother of the Chan Sect, the Nanji Xianweng, in charge, which has nothing to do with me. So I came to Dashang as a Jie Sect to take a look. Who knows... I can see what's going on with just one look."

"At that time, Emperor Xin had not yet entered the Holy Mother Nuwa Temple, but Senior Sister Yunxiao and I noticed something was wrong with him. By the time we came to our senses, he had already disappeared from the spot. In order to ensure that Great Shang could still be used by Jiejiao, I had no choice but to replace the Human Emperor."

"After all... I am also a pure human. With a little disguise, I can still achieve this."

"In addition to completing the mission of the Conferred God Tribulation, I also want to see what these chaotic creatures can do."

"But I didn't expect... these guys would actually create another Emperor Xin. I guess the Emperor Xin who was killed back then must be the fake Emperor Xin. Since this one dared to enter the Fire Cloud Cave, he must be the real one."

As soon as these words came out.

The ancestors of the human race fell into deep thought.

Fuxi pondered for a moment before speaking: "Then why did you choose to pretend to be the Emperor? Wouldn't it be easier to just expose their conspiracy?"

"Because I need time."

Hu Danyouyou's answer was somewhat surprising. "Direct exposure will only cause greater chaos. I must proceed step by step, first stabilize the situation of the human race, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack."

Shennong nodded: "That makes sense. But if you want to keep going for a long time, do you have a way out?"

"certainly."

Hu Danyou smiled calmly, "The Chaos Creature took over Emperor Xin's body, just to borrow the Great Shang to do something, or it may be related to the Conferred God Tribulation. As long as I have a firm grasp on these two things and control them, I can crush their conspiracy in one fell swoop."

"After all, you seem to be a very capable person." Chi You sneered.

"You're too kind." Hu Danyou shook his head. "I'm just doing my part."

"What about the real Emperor Xin?" Shennong spoke again, "Since he is a pawn of the Chaos Creatures, how do you think... we should deal with him?"

"Imprisoned in Fire Cloud Cave temporarily."

Hu Danyouyou answered straightforwardly, "We'll talk about other things when the time is right. I don't think anything will go wrong here."

The destiny of the entire human race is suppressed in the Fire Cloud Cave, and it is also the focus of Heaven's attention, so naturally no accidents can occur here.

"That's a good idea." Fuxi frowned slightly, but did not fully express his opinion. He was still waiting for the other decision-makers to speak.

Immediately afterwards, Shennong, Chiyou, and Ji Xuanyuan all nodded.

This matter has been settled!

"It's worth a try."

As the conversation deepened, the atmosphere in Huoyun Cave gradually eased.

Although Hu Danyouyou's identity is still confusing, his communication with the predecessors has made the whole situation clearer.

"Okay." Fuxi suddenly said, "Since you are willing to contribute to the human race, let's do it according to your way for the time being. There are many sages here, so Emperor Xin... is safe."

"Thank you for your kindness, ancestors." Hu Danyouyou bowed.

"But..." Shennong pondered for a moment, "You have to remember that this is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, you will need to face the threat of chaotic creatures. You are just a Daluo Jinxian... I'm afraid it's not enough!"

"I know."

Hu Danyou nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "I will definitely find a solution."

"Besides... it's just training, which is actually quite simple for me."

"Okay." Fuxi nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes turned to Emperor Xin: "As for him... just stay here, you can leave at any time."

"Of course I will follow the wishes of our ancestors." Hu Danyouyou said calmly.

As these words came out, the atmosphere around them finally eased a little.

The sages began to disperse and returned to their respective positions to continue their meditation. Hu Danyouyou turned around and looked at Emperor Xin.

The latter was kneeling on the ground trembling, obviously having lost his previous arrogance.

"Get up." Hu Danyouyou said, with a bit of pity in his tone, "From now on, when you meditate here, what you can realize will depend on your own ability."

Emperor Xin raised his head, his eyes full of fear and disbelief: "You... since you knew everything, why didn't you kill me earlier?"

"After all, you are still the emperor of men, so keeping you around will be of some use."

Emperor Xin remained silent, but his heart was full of doubts and fear.

At the same time, outside the Huoyun Cave, the ministers of the Shang Dynasty were waiting for the result.

Wen Zhong stood at the front, staring in the direction of the stone gate, thinking secretly in his heart.

It seems everything is under control.

But...why haven't you come out yet at this late hour?

Is it so difficult even for our ancestors to distinguish?

Bigan stood aside and whispered, "Grandmaster, who do you think will come out?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Wen Zhong shook his head, "We've waited for so long, there's no point in waiting any longer..."

Before the conversation between the two was over, the stone door suddenly shook again.

A peaceful atmosphere emanated from inside, and everyone felt a sense of tranquility in their hearts.

"It's out..." Bigan muttered to himself.

The next moment!

The figure of Hu Di Xin You appeared behind the stone gate.

There was a hint of fatigue on his face, but there was a determination gleam in his eyes.

"My dear friends."

Four words fell.

Just from the tone of voice, everyone knew who had come out.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

All the ministers immediately bowed their heads and kowtowed, and cheered as usual!

"Long live the king, long live the king, long live the king!"

"Alright, don't embarrass yourself in front of our ancestors."

Hu Di Xin You waved his hand and walked towards the dragon chariot in the distance: "Let's go back to the palace first."

On the way back to the palace, Hu Di Xin You could feel his heartbeat gradually calming down.

Although the scene in the Fire Cloud Cave was thrilling, everything went according to plan.

Ancestors such as Fuxi, Shennong, and Chiyou did not seem to fully trust his identity and purpose, but he had bought enough time.

Originally there were two dragon chariots that left Chaoge City, but now only one has returned.

Some people who did not go to the Huoyun Cave and did not even know that there were two Emperor Xins existing at the same time, also discovered something was wrong at this moment!

but……

That doesn't matter anymore.

Now the entire Chaoge City is busy with one thing!

Welcome, the Emperor returns to the palace!

The dragon chariot of Hu Emperor Xin You was carried into the court. As the curtain on the chariot was gently lifted, his majestic face, which was intimidating even without anger, was revealed.

His eyes swept over the ministers below, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

“The mountain roars!”

"Long live the king!"

“The mountain roars!”

"Long live the king!"

"Call again!"

"Long live the king!"

"My dear, please stand up."

Hu Di Xin You spoke lightly, with an unquestionable majesty in his voice.

All the ministers responded in unison and stood up to salute. The scene was solemn and dignified.

Hu Di Xin You's eyes fell on Grand Tutor Wen Zhong. Over the past period of time, the movements in Xiqi have always made him feel uneasy.

The emergence of the orthodox monks is undoubtedly the biggest interference to the evil sect's layout in the human world.

"Master Wen." He said, "What is the situation in Xiqi City recently?"

"Reporting to the king! There has been a war report from Xiqi City. Some monks of the Chan Sect have begun to move around in Xiqi."

Wen Zhong quickly came to his senses: "Your Majesty, I have heard about it, but the power of the Chan Sect is too large, and it is not appropriate for us, the Great Shang, to confront it head-on now."

"Oh?" Hu Di Xin You raised his eyebrows lightly, "You mean... I should be patient?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Wen Zhong bowed his hands and saluted. "That is not my intention. It is just that the monks of the Chan Sect came with such a strong momentum. Even when they knew that the Jie Sect had already begun to help the Shang Dynasty, they did not cover up their tracks. It is indeed a bit strange. It is as if... they are fearless."

"We do need to be careful about this."

"Humph." Hu Di Xin You snorted coldly, "It's right to be cautious, but you also have to have your own bottom line."

His eyes fell on Huang Feihu: "Huang Feihu!"

"Here." Huang Feihu responded and stepped out.

"Take your people to Xiqi for a trip."

Hu Di Xin You said calmly: "Find out the specific movements of the Chan sect monks for me. Remember, don't alert the enemy, just find out their details."

"Yes." Huang Feihu took the order and left.

As the king's gun, he will naturally attack wherever the king points!

As for the rest…

He won't think about it, and he doesn't need to think about it!

Just do it and you will get the best result!

Looking at Huang Feihu's leaving back, Hu Di Xin You's eyes became deep.

He could sense that the people of the Chan sect had already begun to operate secretly in Xiqi, and their goal was obviously not just to support the Zhou clan.

"Your Majesty." Wen Zhong suddenly spoke, "I have something else to report."

"explain."

"The conflict between Chan and Jie is ultimately all for the sake of the Great Dao. If the Great Shang were to stand by and watch, perhaps..."

Bang!

Before Wen Zhong could finish his words, Hu Di Xin You raised his hand and slapped the dragon throne!

There was a sudden silence in the hall!

Hu Di Xin You nodded slightly and stared at Wen Zhong in front of him: "Master Wen, are you...testing my bottom line?"

Wen Zhong was stunned, but he obviously shut his mouth wisely.

The hall fell into silence again.

"besides."

Hu Dixin You continued: "What's the situation at Chentang Pass?"

"Reply to your Majesty."

Wen Zhong replied: "The conflict between General Li Jing and the Dragon Clan has been temporarily resolved. After many days of fighting, both sides should have begun to accumulate strength at this time."

"General Li also mentioned the reinforcements to the king, but he was too busy before and didn't have time to inform the king!"

"Oh?" Hu Dixin You's interest was piqued. "Tell me in detail."

"Yes." Wen Zhong nodded. "After you left, the dragons came back, but they were just minor incidents. Li Jing, the guard of Chentang Pass, killed a dragon that was causing trouble."

"The Dragon Clan was furious and demanded compensation and an apology, but General Li Jing refused to compromise and the two sides remain deadlocked to this day."

Hu Dixin You was silent for a moment, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "You mean..."

"Your Majesty." Wen Zhong bowed, "This matter concerns the peace between the human race and the gods. I think it is not appropriate for me to intervene. After all, the dragon race is very powerful, and we in the Shang Dynasty should not make too many enemies."

"You are good at judging the situation." Hu Dixin You nodded calmly, "But..." His eyes suddenly became deep, "What kind of person is Li Jing?"

"Your Majesty," Wen Zhong replied, "Li Jing is a man of integrity and loyalty to the Shang Dynasty. But he has an extreme personality and is prone to making enemies."

Hu Dixin You nodded: "People like this are quite interesting."

…

…………

One morning a few days later.

Outside Chentang Pass, a huge black dragon was hovering in the clouds, looking extremely majestic.

Below it was the city wall of Chentang Pass. On the top of the city wall, Li Jing was holding a long sword in his hand, looking into the distance with a cold gaze.

boom!

A loud noise suddenly came from a distance, and then a beam of white light shot straight into the sky and exploded in the sky. It was a great spell cast by the dragon clan, obviously to declare their anger and strength.

Li Jing frowned slightly: "They are provoking."

"General." A soldier walked quickly to the top of the city wall, "The king's order has arrived."

Li Jing took the imperial edict, glanced at the words on it, and his expression instantly became solemn.

"Go to Chaoge as soon as possible," he said calmly, "and take all these battle reports with you."

The soldiers took the order and left, while Li Jing continued to stand on the top of the city wall, gazing into the distance with deep eyes.

He secretly thought in his heart...

Why don't you send troops to support us at this time?

What on earth does your Majesty mean?

A few days later.

In the court.

Hu Di Xin You sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes sweeping over the ministers.

He was secretly satisfied in his heart...During this period of time, Da Shang has become more and more stable under his governance. Whether it is the monks of the Chan Sect in Xiqi or Li Jing in Chentang Pass, they are all under his control.

“The mountain roars!”

"Long live the king!"

“The mountain roars!”

"Long live the king!"

"Call again!"

"Long live the king!"

"My dear ministers, please stand up." He spoke lightly, with a hint of majesty in his voice.

All the ministers stood up and saluted, and the scene was solemn and dignified.

Hu Di Xin You's eyes fell on Wen Zhong: "Grandmaster."

"What does the king want?" Wen Zhong asked with a bow.

"What's the situation in Xiqi?" Hu Di Xin You asked indifferently.

"In reply to your Majesty," Wen Zhong replied, "the monks of the Chan Sect have already begun to set up the altar outside Xiqi City. Their strength is far beyond our imagination."

Hu Di Xin You was silent for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Really?"

"However," Wen Zhong continued, "the news brought back by Huang Feihu shows that the monks of the Chan Sect do not seem to have any ill will towards our Great Shang. They are just... focusing on their own practice."

"Oh?" Hu Di Xin You raised his eyebrows lightly, "It seems that I worried too much."

Worry too much?

No way!

Seeing that no one was rebelling, the Immortal of the South Pole began to get anxious. He couldn't help but plan to use the altar to announce to the four quarters of the Shang Dynasty that in addition to the Shang Dynasty royal family, there was another force that was worthy of loyalty!

They planned to use this method to lure out some guys who were planning to rebel.

It’s just that they have covered it up well enough now, otherwise it wouldn’t have been discovered until now.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wen Zhong bowed.

Hu Dixin You nodded: "I understand. Also...what's the situation at Chentang Pass?"

"In reply to your Majesty," Wen Zhong replied, "I have already issued a notice rejecting reinforcements according to your instructions. Li Jing recently sent someone to deliver the latest battle report, which I also rejected without mentioning any reinforcements."

"Yeah." Hu Di Xin You nodded lightly.

"Master Wen has worked hard and done a great job!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"But..." Hu Di Xin You suddenly said, "Li Jing..."

"What does the king think of him?" Wen Zhong asked tentatively.

"Incorruptible." Hu Dixin You nodded calmly, "But extreme."

"Yes, I feel the same way."

"It seems..." Hu Dixin You's eyes became deep, "We need to find an opportunity to make good use of this person."

…

As the events in Xiqi and Chentang Pass gradually calmed down, Hu Dixin You began to consider the next plan. His eyes fell on Huang Feihu who had just returned: "You have worked hard during this period."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Huang Feihu bowed.

"Go down." Hu Dixin You said calmly, "Remember..." His voice was full of meaning, "Our Great Shang still needs loyal ministers like you to assist us."

Huang Feihu was shocked, but he said nothing and retreated quietly.

Looking at Huang Feihu's back as he left,

Hu Di Xin You's gaze became profound: The Shang Dynasty seemed stable on the surface, but undercurrents were surging.

This situation was exactly what he expected!

Now that the internal turmoil in the court has been settled and external worries have emerged, the only thing left is... a long enough fuse to connect these things together!

Chentangguan, it’s time to rebel!

As long as Li Jing gives up resisting the dragon clan and directly leads the soldiers of Chentang Pass to rush towards Chaoge, the situation of Da Shang will be a foregone conclusion!

The rest is just to fill in those people's names on the List of Gods, which is a trivial matter!

It won’t be long before the great calamity of the Conferred Gods comes to an end, and Emperor Xin will no longer have to carry this alias.

This matter cannot be delayed!

After retiring from court.

Hu·Danyou·You's mind moved immediately, and he transformed into the appearance of Danyou and came to Chentang Pass!

Just right!

Li Jing happened to be standing on the top of the city wall, looking at the gathering of dragons in the distance. The moment he saw Dan You, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Immortal!?"
