133: Chapter 133 Xuanyuan, who only possessed merit; Yu the Great succeeded to the throne!

With Yinglong, Chiyou, and Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi having bestowed their precious treasures, the eyes of everyone present fell upon Human Emperor Xuanyuan, filled with anticipation.

Chiyou was the first to stand with arms crossed, raising an eyebrow at Human Emperor Xuanyuan, his tone filled with provocation:

"I say, Human Emperor Xuanyuan, we've all emptied our pockets. As his proper Master, you can't be stingy with the apprenticeship gift! If it doesn't compare to our Spirit Treasures, the face of the Human Emperor's first Disciple won't be able to stay upright!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan glanced at him, a trace of helplessness flashing through his gentle eyes, yet he also carried a hint of a smile as he calmly spoke:

"Stop fanning the flames here. Since I, Human Emperor Xuanyuan, have accepted him as a Disciple, I naturally won't shortchange the apprenticeship gift!"

"Whether you shortchange him or not isn't for you to decide!"

Chiyou took a step forward, stood beside Human Emperor Xuanyuan, draped an arm over his shoulder, and spoke in a heavy tone.

"Little Dragon and I both gave Innate Spirit Treasures, and the Earth Emperor also gave precious resources to Cultivate. If you bring out some ordinary Spirit Treasure, it won't fit your status!"

Upon hearing this, Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi came to their side and smilingly mediated: "Alright, alright, Chiyou, don't be impatient. The Human Emperor has his own considerations."

"I'm not impatient; I'm just feeling it's unfair for this child, Wuzhiqi!"

Chiyou stiffened his neck and turned to look at Wuzhiqi, who was standing there bowing, "Don't you think so, Disciple? If your Master is stingy, you tell me, and I'll help you demand more!"

Wuzhiqi was immediately flustered and quickly bowed: "Master Chiyou is joking. Being able to join Master's sect is already a great Opportunity; I dare not covet precious treasures."

Human Emperor Xuanyuan chuckled lightly and raised his hand to push away Chiyou, who had leaned in close. "Alright, stop using reverse psychology."

"For Wuzhiqi's apprenticeship gift, I naturally won't just give any random Spirit Treasure to brush him off."

As he finished speaking, his gaze turned to Wuzhiqi. He took an Acquired Spirit Treasure out from his personal space.

It was a suit of armor. The armor had no excessive decorations and its aura was ordinary. It was merely at the level of a standard High Grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, far inferior to the Innate Spirit Treasures and rare resources that everyone else had brought out earlier.

Chiyou took a closer look, his eyes widened instantly, and he stepped forward, pointing his finger at the armor, his tone filled with disbelief.

"You're just using an Acquired Spirit Treasure as an apprenticeship gift?! What are you up to, Human Emperor Xuanyuan? As the Human Emperor, using an Acquired Spirit Treasure for an apprenticeship gift is too perfunctory! If word gets out, how will others view the Human Race?"

Yinglong also tilted his little head, his Dragon eyes filled with confusion, and he gently tugged on Shi Yan's sleeve, whispering: "Master, did the Human Emperor bring the wrong Spirit Treasure?"

"Just watch quietly." Shi Yan's tone was flat, as if he were not at all surprised by Human Emperor Xuanyuan's actions.

Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi also frowned slightly, but still spoke: "The Human Emperor has his own deep meaning in his actions. Ancestor of Weapons, please be patient."

"I want to see what exactly you are trying to do, Human Emperor Xuanyuan!?"

Chiyou stood in front of Wuzhiqi, staring seriously at Human Emperor Xuanyuan. Human Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Chiyou, who was standing in front of Wuzhiqi with a face full of indignation, his eyes gentle, showing no sign of annoyance, and he just glanced at him indifferently and said:

"You're still as impatient as ever; you haven't changed a bit in all these years. Rest assured, how could I possibly use an Acquired Spirit Treasure as an apprenticeship gift for my first Disciple?"

To this, Chiyou merely snorted coldly without saying anything more. Human Emperor Xuanyuan helplessly waved his hand.

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, he took out a mass of Human Race Karma. Finally, like a river of mysterious yellow, it all surged toward that ancient-looking Acquired armor!

The colorful light of Karma wrapped around the armor, and the previously plain and unremarkable armor instantly erupted with dazzling golden light, with mysterious yellow Qi slowly emerging on the armor body.

A majestic pressure swept out, far exceeding that of an ordinary Innate Spirit Treasure, and the aura was gentle and heavy. In just an instant, under the tempering of supreme Karma, the Acquired Spirit Treasure completely transformed; the armor glowed with flowing spiritual light, surrounded by the Qi of Karma, impervious to all techniques.

An Acquired Karma Spirit Treasure was formed.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan raised his hand and sent the Karma armor before Wuzhiqi, his voice gentle yet solemn:

"Master was born in the Acquired era and has not accumulated much foundation. This suit of Karma armor is the apprenticeship gift Master gives you. Although it is Acquired, it surpasses most Innate Spirit Treasures."

Chiyou stood where he was, dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time. Looking at the Karma armor with its myriad rays of light, his previous dissatisfaction completely vanished, leaving only a face full of shock.

"This... this is an Acquired Karma Spirit Treasure?!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile: "Otherwise, did you think I would wrong my first Disciple?"

Wuzhiqi held the armor, which was surrounded by the mysterious yellow Qi of Karma. The moment his fingertips touched the armor, a gentle and heavy power surged into his body, finally gathering in his spiritual platform.

He knelt heavily on both knees, his forehead touching the ground, performing the most solemn ceremony of the Human Race, his voice resonant and powerful, full of sincerity and respect: "Disciple Wuzhiqi thanks Master for bestowing the treasure!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan raised his hand, and a gentle golden light helped him up, his eyes full of expectation: "Rise."

Chiyou, who was on the side, finally fully recovered. He stepped forward a few steps, circling the Human Race Karma armor to inspect it, feeling the power contained within. In his eyes looking at Human Emperor Xuanyuan, the previous provocation was gone, replaced by a bit of admiration, yet he remained stubborn:

"You're sensible, not actually wronging the junior I think highly of! This Acquired Karma Spirit Treasure is barely worthy of him!"

Yinglong looked at Shi Yan, who had no change in expression, and asked: "Master, did you know long ago that the Human Emperor would give Wuzhiqi a Karma Spirit Treasure?"

"More or less." Shi Yan patted Yinglong's head and answered matter-of-factly: "After all, Human Emperor Xuanyuan, like Earth Emperor Lieshan, is a pure Human Race, born in the Acquired era, and cannot be like you and Chiyou, having the Dragon Clan and Wu Clan as support. The only good resource he has on him is that Human Race Karma."

Yinglong nodded his little head. "Understood, Master."

Then, before everyone dispersed, they heard the news of Dayu succeeding as the Common Sovereign of the Human Race. Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Shi Yan said with a smile in his tone: "Double happiness! Emperor Shun is also about to return to his position!"

"Indeed!"

The conversation between the several Hunyuan Golden Immortals and above left Wuzhiqi a bit confused, but he still followed beside Human Emperor Xuanyuan without asking any more questions.

... In the territory of the Human Race Mortals. After four hundred years, the flood control team had changed two batches of people. Dayu passed his home three times without entering, and finally completely calmed the floods of the Nine Provinces.

The once overflowing rivers all returned to their courses, the barren fields were replanted, the displaced people returned to their homes, and the land of the Human Race regained its vitality.

Dayu's merit in controlling the floods was unparalleled, and he was revered by all the people. When the news reached the capital of the Human Race, Emperor Shun was overjoyed.

Immediately, a grand abdication ceremony was held in the capital. Emperor Shun stood on the high platform and announced loudly: "Dayu's control of the floods has merit for a thousand autumns, benefiting all people, and his virtue is profound; he is worthy of being the Common Sovereign of the Human Race! Today, I abdicate the position of Common Sovereign of the Human Race to Dayu!"

Dayu knelt solemnly, took the seal, and swore to the heavens, the earth, and all the people: "I, Yu, will devote my whole life to protecting our Human Race and securing all our people!"
