I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 284 - 8: Catastrophe Strikes Again, Manipulation Resumes
Time shows no mercy; the generals left by Gu Chen in the past are no longer young.
Although everything has changed now, Gu Yi cannot determine how long their lives will last.
But he must be prepared.
The natural disasters befalling the Great Han are destined to weaken its overall strength and continuously reduce its influence.
And the Barbarians on all sides will surely grow stronger in such times;
——perhaps even unify again!
If the Great Han declines by then, history will backtrack and return to its original development.
This is something Gu Yi cannot accept!
Looking at Gu Chen’s past actions towards those Barbarians,
if history truly returns to the basics, the Gu Clan will face a fatal threat.
——When the rites and music completely collapse, no one will care about the reputation of the Gu Clan among the people.
If everything indeed returns to the old paths,
The reputation of the Gu Clan won’t be a protective charm but a death warrant.
Including the internal crisis of the Gu Clan itself.
In any case, Gu Yi must resolve everything this time.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yi directly called out the four big words "Family Information" in his mind.
After a brief hesitation, he still did not choose the more excellent seventh-generation disciple.
But chose Gu Ye instead.
The seventh-generation disciples are no longer young, while the eighth generation is just in its rising phase.
This is the fundamental reason.
The game’s prompts instantly flashed before Gu Yi.
[Do you want to immediately control the character?]
[Achievement Points Cost: 300,000.]
Seeing this prompt before him, Gu Yi immediately chose to confirm this time.
——He had no other choice.
Although from the perspective of Gu Yi’s current achievement points,
He could completely max out the system’s luck value through the lottery, at least obtaining a Celestial Level item, possibly resolving this natural disaster once and for all.
But there is uncertainty in this.
And most importantly——
For Gu Yi, he needs to invigorate the people’s spirit within the Gu Clan and fundamentally resolve the impacts caused by the chaos under heaven.
The prompts before him shattered like an illusory bubble in an instant.
In an instant, the scene around Gu Yi suddenly blurred.
He only felt his perspective sinking rapidly, switching from the third-person "god’s view" that could overlook everything back to the first-person view in the blink of an eye.
Simultaneously, memories surged forward like a tidal wave, with all the memories of Gu Ye’s fourteen years from infancy to now being swiftly absorbed and digested by Gu Yi.
The scene before him was pitch black, as if he was in an endless abyss.
After an indeterminable time, just as Gu Yi felt time had frozen, the morning sun slowly rose, and the first rays of dawn penetrated the window lattice and silently spilled into the room.
As Gu Ye on the bed slowly awakened, opening his eyes slowly.
Everything before Gu Yi’s eyes became solid and clear at this moment.
Finally, dawn arrived...
...
"In the summer of the sixteenth year of Yan Xing in April, in Yan Province, the rivers Ji and He dried up, and there was no rain from spring to fall in the three assists, leaving the land red for a thousand miles.
The chief officer of Jingzhao reported: "The wheat and grains in Fufeng and Fengyi are completely withered, and people dig up mice and catch sparrows to eat, with the dead lying along the paths."
In the seventh month, Ding Wei, the Venus crossed the sky, and the grand historian reported: "The virtue of fire has lost its order, the blame lies in the extreme drought."
In the seventeenth year, early spring in January, the three assists experienced drought again, and Kunming Lake dried up.
In March, Geng Zi, there was rain for fifty days in Jiangdong, Jiaolong fought in Jiangdu’s Qu’e, inundating fields and homes in Dan Yang and Wu counties.
In May, Ren Yin, the Yangtze River broke through Guangling’s dam, and waves entered the city, with Huaiji’s governor submerging official documents in the flood.
On that day, Jiankang experienced a massive earthquake, and Bell Mountain rang out for three days before stopping.
In Autumn, the seventh month, Bingzhou State’s Yan Sect had a ground fracture of two miles with Black Water gushing out, the stench unbearable.
In August, Bing Chen, in Liangzhou State Wuwei Prefecture, Linqiu Mountain collapsed, crushing three hundred residential areas.
At that time, a plague started from north of the Huai, with over two thousand deaths in ten days in Qing Province’s Beihai County, with every household displaying white, and cries echoing through the fields."
