From the mouth of the river and having experienced the fish that flowed through the Huai River during the divine era, the taste was extremely delicious.

Wei Yuan and the black cat feasted on these foods and finished them all.

Then the cat climbed to the roof to bask in the sun, quite lazy.

Wei Yuan took out his phone and casually flipped through it. Now, forums and various websites all over the world are analyzing and debating the Huai River flowing into the sea. The reaction within Shen Zhou is intense, while the voices outside of Shen Zhou are mainly conspiracy theories.

But this is also a traditional art.

Not long after, the new continent on the other side of the ocean has already held a press conference, and the parliament has issued a strongly worded sanction document. However, it is surprising that Sakurajima, who has always been its predecessor, has remained silent, as if completely unaware of the changes on the other side.

Similarly, the Mist City, as one of the Western worlds, also remains silent.

This has made the sanctions from the new continent a bit awkward.

Shen Zhou's diplomatic system has also launched a strong counterattack.

There is currently a live broadcast of a press conference.

"These so-called sanctions are completely disruptive and a one-sided wish of the Western world."

"No country has the right to meddle in Shen Zhou!"

"Moreover, the so-called disregard for human rights and destruction of nature are nothing but empty words. Shen Zhou can publicly present a series of evidence to the world and prove that the changes in the Huai River are completely natural and spontaneous, not caused by human influence."

A blonde and blue-eyed journalist raised his hand to ask a question, "Sir, the Huai River has not flowed through this river channel for hundreds of years. If, as you said, it is a natural occurrence, what caused the sudden change in the course of the Huai River?"

The imposing Shen Zhou man smiled, his tone slightly relaxed, and said with a smile:

"It is well known that compared to the world and nature, humans are still very small and ignorant."

"And according to the Western philosophers, in the face of the magical work of nature, we humans can only admire and humbly accept it. Or has the Western world already believed that Shen Zhou has the power to control such a great natural force?"

The journalist was speechless.

If there is such power, there would be no East and West in the world.

Another female journalist said, "The New Continent Congress believes that Shen Zhou has gained great benefits in this matter and has harmed nature. They hope that Shen Zhou can restore the Huai River to its original state. What is your opinion on this?"

"This is completely nonsense because this Huai River incident has caused varying degrees of damage to all the hydropower stations along the Huai River. There are also a large number of riverbanks, farmlands, and roads destroyed along the hundreds of kilometers of the Huai River waterway, which has affected Shen Zhou's normal internal transportation."

"It can be said that Shen Zhou has suffered the greatest loss, not benefits, from this change in the course of the Huai River..."

At the press conference, the arguments were heated.

After watching for a while, Wei Yuan could basically confirm that although the world's reaction to this incident was huge, it still could not affect Shen Zhou. Then he looked at the comments from various places and found that there was a high demand for Wu Zhiqi. A large number of fan art had been produced, and Wei Yuan even discovered fan art of Wu Zhiqi and Yu.

He broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

Whether it was seen by Lady Jiao or Wu Zhiqi himself, this kind of thing could directly ignite the anger of these ancient beings.

Wei Yuan realized that this kind of news was only within the scope of personal hobbies for now. Thinking that Lady Jiao was still in the Qingqiu Country and Wu Zhiqi was in the depths of the Huai River, he felt slightly relieved.

He also found a text message sent to him, which was from the pottery experience class he had attended before.

The general idea was that there was an old gentleman who had a collection similar to the pottery he had made before and wanted to meet him.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment. Since he was regarded by the female pottery artist as someone studying ancient styles, a simple exchange related to this matter would not bring any trouble or influence. Besides, he was somewhat curious and sentimental, hoping to see what kind of collection was similar to the pottery he had made.

So he organized his words and replied to the text message, telling the other person the location of his museum.

Pottery Studio.

Yu Xuesong turned his head and looked at the old man next to him, who had a high status in Shen Zhou's history, and said, "Professor, he agreed."

Dong Yuefeng nodded.

In his backpack, the ancient and simple Shang Dynasty bronze jue quietly slept.

……………………

Wei Yuan cleaned up the tableware.

Then he returned to his small room and used talismans to seal off the walls and door, isolating the inside from the outside.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the phone given to him by the Special Operations Group and called Shen Jifeng.

Shen Jifeng was a member of the Special Operations Group who focused on researching that particular series. At the moment, he was busy and overwhelmed. With the Huai River flowing into the sea and the appearance of someone resembling Wu Zhiqi showing signs of sainthood, various speculations were emerging in society, and public opinion was boiling.

Correspondingly, they, who were responsible for researching the most popular cultivation methods, naturally faced greater pressure.

Shen Jifeng was about to hang up the phone when he heard the sound and saw the name displayed on it. He controlled himself and answered the call.

"Wei Master?"

"Why do you have the time to call? Is there something you need help with?"

Yes.

But obviously, he couldn't be so direct.

Wei Yuan silently complained in his heart. Hearing the somewhat chaotic voice on the other end, he smiled and said, "It seems like you're busy right now."

Shen Jifeng sighed helplessly. Under tremendous pressure and having already recognized Wei Master as a senior from Shen Zhou, he sighed and said,"Of course it's busy, senior. The cultivation methods we're currently using for popularization are still not fully perfected. There are all sorts of seemingly minor issues, but when applied to the vast population of Shen Zhou, these issues are bound to explode. I'm not sure how long the action team can keep public opinion stable."

"In this period, we must present the first-hand cultivation methods, that is, the Western world, and the Sakura Island and Goryeo dare not act rashly now. After all, if it really is Wu Zhiqi, it is a divine spirit that has been passed down from the era of gods, fundamentally different from the gods born later."

The era of gods...

Wei Yuan's heart stirred slightly, following Shen Jifeng's words, "After all, it is the era of gods..."

Shen Jifeng sighed, "Yes, that was the era of gods. According to the common sense of the modern cultivation world, the end of the era of gods was two thousand years ago, based on the Gregorian calendar. Apart from our Shen Zhou lineage, the other ancient god systems all perished a few hundred years before the Gregorian calendar."

"And that god of the West was born in the Gregorian era."

"According to our records, it should be Rome, which inherited the power of the Greek god system, and the ancient country known as 'Da Qin' in the ancient books, that encountered problems during that period, leading to the birth of the current belief in God."

"Although the Roman god system, in its anger, captured the Western Holy City, burned the temple, and expelled the believers, it still couldn't suppress this newly born god."

Shen Jifeng is a typical research-oriented cultivator.

Once he started talking, he found it hard to stop, and only then did he realize he had gone off-topic.

He stuck out his tongue, pulled the topic back, and asked, "By the way, senior, did you call me for something?"

Wei Yuan pulled his attention back from his thoughts on the division of the era of gods, and said, "Indeed, there is something I need your help with."

"Please tell me, senior."

"Um, can you prepare another one of those special communicators used by the special action team for me?"

Shen Jifeng was taken aback, "A communicator?"

"Don't you already have one, senior?"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

Wei Yuan said without changing his expression, "Yes, I have a friend who has been practicing asceticism in the mountains. He may come out into the world soon. You know, these ascetics have spent too long in the mountains. If they come out without understanding the outside world, it could cause trouble. I want to let him understand the world through the internet before he comes out."

Shen Jifeng understood.

Then he guaranteed, "No problem, senior."

"I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."

Wei Yuan thanked him, and the two chatted for a while before ending the call. Wei Yuan put his phone aside, planning to wait until Shen Jifeng delivered the communicator the next day, then go to Huai River and give the item to Wu Zhiqi.

The unsealing of Wu Zhiqi was just a matter of time. He needed to let Ta slowly understand this era through the internet.

He then fell into deep thought.

The inheritance that Wei Yuan received all came from ancient times.

Or rather, it was a direct inheritance from the era of gods.

He was not clear about the modern cultivation world's concept of the era of gods.

He searched for some information and found that the biggest event in China at the end of the era of gods should be the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty by Emperor Guangwu of Han. The core of the Western lineage was the Roman Empire, and at that time, the two sides maintained a restrained and good relationship.

From human history, it can be inferred that the ancient Indian god system had collapsed at that time.

Because during that period, the third largest empire in the world, the Kushan Empire, directly occupied the northwestern part of India, and then the deputy commander led the attack on India and trained seventy thousand elite soldiers, who were heading towards Shen Zhou with an unstoppable momentum.

Then they encountered a man named Ban Dingyuan in the Western Regions.

And then there was no more.

As a result, as the third largest empire in the world, they paid tribute to Shen Zhou year after year.

Correspondingly, Wei Yuan found that during that time period at the end of the era of gods, the entire cultivation world was in chaos. In the West, there was a situation similar to usurpation. The newly born god launched an attack on the Roman system, which basically inherited the power of Greek civilization. Although it was suppressed, it can be seen from now that the Roman god system eventually declined.

And in the Eastern Shen Zhou, various chaotic sacrifices also appeared.

The mainstream Roman god system in the West was extremely weak during this era, while the Eastern Shen Zhou remained consistent.

What happened to Shen Zhou at that time?

Wei Yuan pondered, his heart filled with doubts.

He planned to look for clues in the ancient books later.

He suppressed this curiosity.

He took out the Crouching Tiger Order, and next was the most anticipated official business. Although it was said to rely on the power of Wu Zhiqi, the many evil gods and chaotic sacrifices in the Huai River were indeed his responsibility. According to the standard of the Crouching Tiger Order, he should definitely receive a large amount of merit.

PS: Thanks to the alliance leader of Meng Meng Shooting Eight Desolations, thank you.

The Kushan Empire reached its peak under the rule of Kanishka I and his successors, with a population of about 5 million and more than 200,000 soldiers. It was considered one of the four major powers in Eurasia at the time, alongside the Han Dynasty, Rome, and Parthia. Oh, by the way, to add an unimportant point, when facing the 70,000 elite soldiers of the Kushan Empire, Ban Chao seemed to have only a few hundred men...
