Chapter 534 The Divine Iron that Stabilizes the Sea? Yu the Great Tames the Flood!
Without a second thought, Yu nodded and kowtowed deeply to Niu Ben, saying:
"I've made up my mind!"
Even if I'm shattered to pieces, I'll have no regrets!
Seeing Da Yu's assessment, Niu Ben smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
"In that case, I will teach you how to craft a magical artifact to control the flood."
After saying that, Niu Ben slowly raised his hand and touched Da Yu's forehead.
Immediately afterwards, a golden stream of light entered Da Yu's brow.
"Um?"
Yu was stunned, shocked by the methods Niu Ben had displayed.
Before he could recover from his shock, a method of refining suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yu the Great".
"This refining method will allow you to forge the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron."
"If you can refine it, it will naturally help you solve the human race's flood problem."
Niu Ben said calmly.
"The method for forging the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron?"
Upon hearing what Niu Ben said, Da Yu was greatly shocked.
Although it was the first time he had heard of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron, for some reason, he felt extremely familiar with it.
Shocked, Yu quickly regained his senses and bowed deeply to Niu Ben in gratitude:
Thank you, teacher!
"This disciple will certainly work hard to forge the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron as soon as possible."
Niu Ben nodded and said nothing more.
He knew very well that if it weren't for him teaching him the method of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron, he would have been in dire need of help.
This divine iron will later be refined by his master, the Supreme Sage.
As for Yu the Great, he would go to see the Supreme Sage and borrow this divine iron to suppress the floods.
Next, Yu the Great immersed himself in the method of refining the Sea-Stabilizing Iron.
The Sea-Stabilizing Iron is a magical artifact that can suppress water veins and quell floods.
Throwing it into the floodwaters will suppress the flow and cause the flood to recede.
He was exceptionally intelligent and had a heart set on saving the world, so he quickly learned how to forge the Sea-Stabilizing Iron.
"Teacher, I...I've succeeded!"
After the Sea-Stabilizing Iron was forged, Yu the Great immediately sought out Niu Ben.
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a long, black iron rod appeared before Niu Ben's eyes.
Niu Ben looked at the first piece of sea-stabilizing iron that Yu the Great had forged and nodded slightly:
"Now that you have learned this method, it is up to you to save humanity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Ben didn't wait for Da Yu to respond before his figure gradually faded away and disappeared.
Yu the Great stood still, and with a gentle wave of his hand, he took the Sea-Stabilizing Iron in his hand, his gaze resolute as he said:
"teacher."
"Your disciple will not let you down."
Then, without delay, Yu embarked on the long journey of flood control.
Next, he led the human people on a journey.
Wherever there was a flood, Yu the Great would rush there.
Wherever he went, he would throw the Sea-Stabilizing Iron he had forged into the floodwaters to suppress the water and make the floodwaters recede.
However, what troubled Yu the Great was...
The Sea-Stabilizing Iron it forges has a major flaw: it can only temporarily stop floods in one area, and the floodwaters will rise again soon afterward.
Even if the Sea-Stabilizing Iron is left in place, it cannot last long; it must be activated by him personally to unleash its power.
This also means that Yu the Great could not stop.
He had to keep traveling, constantly managing the floods, and constantly moving from one place to another.
Day after day, year after year.
Yu the Great's footprints covered the entire land of humankind.
He walked through mountains and rivers, across plains submerged by floods, and along riverbanks breached by broken dikes.
His feet were calloused and his face was etched with the marks of time.
Even so, Yu's gaze remained unwavering.
During the long years of flood control, he passed by his own home three times.
The first time, he heard a baby crying inside the house.
That was when his son Qi was born.
Yu wanted to go in and take a look, but thinking of the many more people struggling in the flood in the distance, he gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
The second time, when Yu passed by his home, he saw his wife holding their son standing at the door, looking in his direction.
His son, who could already walk, staggered toward him, calling out "Daddy."
Yu's eyes welled up with tears. He waved goodbye and left.
The third time, when Yu passed by his home again, his son had grown into a teenager.
The boy stood at the door, and when he saw Yu the Great, he ran over and pulled Yu the Great towards the house.
Yu the Great affectionately stroked his son's head and told him that he had no time to come home before the flood was brought under control. Then he left in a hurry without even entering the house.
And so, Yu the Great continued his tireless journey.
Later, he finally realized it.
Although the Sea-Stabilizing Iron can temporarily solve the flood problem, it cannot be separated from him for too long.
This is also the fundamental reason why he was unable to completely control the floods.
We have to find a way.
"This cannot continue indefinitely."
"If only I could forge the Sea-Stabilizing Iron into a magical artifact that would continue to function even after it leaves my side!"
From then on, in addition to traveling around to control the floods, Yu the Great would spend every night studying how to optimize the Dinghai Divine Iron.
When he traveled with Niu Ben before, Niu Ben taught him a lot of weapon-forging techniques.
Yu the Great then combined the method of forging the Sea-Stabilizing Iron with other methods of weapon forging, and repeatedly deduced and tested it.
Repeated failures did not make him give up; instead, he kept trying again and again.
I don't know how many years have passed.
Finally, on a stormy night, Yu the Great had a sudden flash of inspiration and found the key.
The reason why the Sea-Stabilizing Iron can only unleash its power is because it lacks a "core".
A core that can autonomously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and operate continuously.
If a divine object containing the power of the origin of heaven and earth can be found as the core of the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron, then the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron can operate autonomously and never stop.
Having figured these things out, Yu the Great was overjoyed and immediately began refining it.
He disassembled the original Dinghai Divine Iron, incorporated various spiritual materials from heaven and earth, and repeatedly forged it using the supreme weapon-refining method taught by Niu Ben.
After forty-nine days, Yu the Great succeeded.
He used the Sea-Stabilizing Iron to forge four Sea-Stabilizing Needles.
He placed these four sea-stabilizing needles at the four sea eyes of the East China Sea, South China Sea, West China Sea, and North China Sea respectively to suppress the four sea areas.
Among them, the Sea-Stabilizing Needle in the East China Sea is the most powerful, containing most of the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Iron, and is specifically used to suppress the East China Sea, where the sea currents are the most violent.
"Boom!"
The moment the four pillars that stabilized the seas hit the ground, the heavens and earth trembled, and the surging seawaters of the four seas suddenly calmed down.
The once raging floods receded slowly, as if soothed by an invisible hand.
Thus, the flood that had ravaged the human race was finally brought under control by Yu the Great.
