Kuafu's voice echoed in all directions, louder than ever before.
After Kuafu finished speaking, he took a step forward.
The earth trembled slightly, but Kuafu's steps were light, afraid of hurting others.
He looked at Wang Lin and slowly spoke, his voice like ancient thunder:
"Would you be willing to take my staff?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Lin knelt down and raised his hands high:
"This junior is willing!"
Kuafu nodded and gently placed the jujube wood staff in Wang Lin's hand.
The cane shrunk rapidly to a size suitable for Wang Lin's use the moment it touched his palm, but its weight remained unchanged.
However, Wang Lin, who inherited the spirit of Kuafu, did not feel that the staff was very heavy; rather, it was just the right weight for him.
"This staff follows me as I chase the sun, drink from the river, and transform into a forest."
Kuafu said, "I bestow this upon you today. I hope you will live up to the name 'Chasing the Sun'."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light shot out from between Kuafu's eyebrows and entered Wang Lin's body.
Wang Lin felt a jolt, sensing a vast power surging within his body.
At the same time, Kuafu's enormous body began to transform into specks of golden light, gradually merging into Wang Lin's body.
A notification sounded in Wang Lin's mind:
[Detectable deity for contracting: Kuafu the Sun Chaser]
[Compatibility: 100% (Perfect Match)]
[Deity Rank: SR]
[Do you want to choose a contract?]
Wang Lin didn't even have time to look at the dizzying information before directly selecting "Yes".
The golden light completely subsided.
Wang Lin stood still, the peach wood staff in his hand gleaming with a warm luster.
His appearance hasn't changed much, but his temperament has completely changed.
The power contained within his slender body was not to be underestimated.
"What level?"
Wang Tian asked almost impatiently.
Wang Lin glanced at the information in his mind and calmly replied, "SR level."
"boom--"
The scene at the venue and the live broadcast room exploded simultaneously.
SR grade!
Besides the god Su Fan contracted with, this is the third SR-level Chinese god!
Moreover, it is an SR-level god who is perfectly compatible with the contractor!
Wang Tian was so excited he couldn't speak, he could only pat Wang Lin's shoulder hard.
The other members of the Wang family looked at Wang Lin with a mixture of envy and admiration. This unremarkable young man from a collateral branch had now become one of the most watched rising stars in the Wang family—no, possibly in the entire country.
It should be noted that currently, there are only two people in China who have formed a contract with an SR-level Chinese deity: Yuan Qingsheng and Ma Tao.
They're not young anymore.
Wang Lin was just a young man in his early twenties.
This future is truly limitless!
Wang Tian, the patriarch of the Tianshan Wang family, was also very generous, actually giving this level of Chinese deity to a junior in his clan.
Su Fan sighed, looking at Wang Tian with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Su Fan was genuinely happy for Wang Lin.
He could see that Kuafu chose Wang Lin not because of his talent or background, but because of the indomitable spirit and tenacity that were deeply ingrained in his bones.
"What abilities did Kuafu bestow upon you?"
Su Fan asked curiously.
The audience in the live stream were all curious when Su Fan asked this question.
"Wang Lin has really struck it rich! This is an SR-level Chinese deity!"
"Stop envying others, let's look forward to seeing what amazing abilities Kuafu has given Wang Lin!"
"Yes, yes, Wang Lin, tell me quickly! I'm really curious about what kind of heaven-defying abilities this SR-level Chinese deity can grant. I'd love to be envious!"
Wang Lin closed his eyes, sensed it for a moment, and then said:
"The first supernatural power is the 'Sun Chasing Body' - which greatly enhances strength, endurance, and speed, and is especially good at long-distance raids and prolonged battles."
"The second supernatural power is the ability to drink from the river—it allows one to store a large amount of water in the body. When used, the water will evaporate, but as long as there is water, the divine power will be inexhaustible."
Upon hearing about this incredible divine ability, even Su Fan began to feel envious.
This ability is just too overpowered!
With the "ability to drink from the river," Wang Lin can have almost unlimited divine power in battle.
The live stream chat instantly went wild, with comments scrolling wildly.
"This is too powerful! An SR-level god is truly something else!"
"Wang Lin will definitely become one of China's top experts in the future!"
Wang Tian was also overjoyed, patting Wang Lin on the shoulder and saying, "Good lad, you haven't disgraced the Wang family!"
Wang Lin nodded and continued:
"The third supernatural power is 'Blessing with the Peach Staff'—this staff can heal and restore life force, applicable to both oneself and others. Additionally, it can enhance one's luck stat."
Upon hearing that it was yet another heaven-defying divine ability, Su Fan was speechless with astonishment.
Enhancing your luck stat might seem useless, but it's actually incredibly useful.
When facing danger, you might just escape unscathed because of this luck.
Moreover, when exploring the ruins of a deity, this luck might just allow him to find the most valuable item within those ruins.
This peachwood staff bestowing blessings is undoubtedly an extremely powerful and heaven-defying divine ability.
Wang Tian was also beaming from ear to ear, repeatedly saying, "Great, very good!"
"And..." Wang Lin paused, "'Kuafu Spirit'—a passive spiritual encouragement ability that allows me to unleash two hundred percent of my strength in desperate situations."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Each of these supernatural abilities is incredibly powerful, and when combined, they are practically invincible.
The live stream room was buzzing with excitement.
The comments were completely illegible, and the special effects for tipping filled the entire screen.
Su Fan looked at Wang Tian and laughed, "Patriarch Wang, your Wang family has really struck gold today. An S-rank Diao Chan and an SR-rank Kuafu."
Wang Tian grinned from ear to ear: "It's all thanks to young friend Su! My Wang family will never forget this kindness!"
"No need to be so polite," Su Fan waved his hand. "This is also a deal between us."
Su Fan then appraised several more gods, but found none of them to be particularly powerful.
He checked the time, then looked at the remaining statues of the gods, and said:
"It's getting late, and I've appraised several high-level deities in a row, so I need to rest. We'll appraise the remaining deity statues another day."
Although Wang Tian was somewhat disappointed, he nodded understandingly.
He had been hoping to have Su Fan identify all these Chinese deities at once, but he knew it was impossible, since there were just too many Chinese deities in this secret chamber.
He acquired several high-level gods today, including one SR-level one, which far exceeded his expectations.
Although the viewers in the live stream were reluctant to see it end, they all expressed their understanding.
Su Fan said to the live stream audience, "Dear viewers, that concludes today's live stream. Thank you for watching, and see you next time."
After ending the live stream, Su Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
Presiding over several appraisal ceremonies for high-ranking deities in a row must have taken a toll on his mental well-being.
Wang Tian walked over and said solemnly, "Young friend Su, please stay at the Wang family's house tonight so we can show you the best hospitality. I have already arranged the best rooms and banquet."
Su Fan thought about it and did not refuse.
Nighttime, the Wang family banquet hall.
The banquet was extremely lavish, but no one's attention was on the food.
Su Fan was the absolute protagonist of the banquet, and Wang Lin also became the focus of the entire event, with people constantly coming over to toast and congratulate him.
This originally introverted boy, under the influence of the Kuafu Contract, although still not very talkative, has become more composed and steady in his demeanor.
Su Fan sat in the main seat and talked with Wang Tian.
"Mr. Su, how many other gods in China do you think are misunderstood or forgotten, like Kuafu?" Wang Tian asked.
Su Fan put down his wine glass and looked out at the starry sky:
"There are many, a great many. Kuafu is just one of them. Our Chinese mythology system is too vast, and the gaps in its lineage are too severe. People don't know much about the deeds of many gods, and even if they do, they are often wrong."
Wang Tian nodded and sighed, "Fortunately, China still has you, otherwise..."
Wang Tian couldn't even imagine what would happen next.
Su Fan gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Halfway through the banquet, the Wang family's old butler hurriedly walked up to Wang Tian and whispered a few words to him.
Wang Tian's expression changed slightly, and he said urgently to Su Fan, "Young friend Su, there's another problem in the Northern Frontier."
Upon hearing this, Su Fan's expression changed.
"Patriarch Wang, please give me this White Tiger deity statue now. I need to take the statues of the Four Sacred Beasts and hurry to the Northern Frontier."
Wang Tian nodded after hearing this and quickly stood up: "Come with me quickly."
The two left their seats, passed through several courtyards, and arrived at a heavily guarded ancestral hall.
The ancestral tablets enshrined in the center of the ancestral hall are not ancestral tablets, but a white statue of a fierce tiger deity.
The tiger is poised to pounce, its eyes bloodshot. Even when it stands still, it exudes a chilling aura of ferocity.
"This is the White Tiger statue."
Wang Tian solemnly said, "The master of the Western Geng Metal is in charge of weapons and battles. My Wang family has guarded this item for seven generations."
Su Fan glanced at it and nodded; this should undoubtedly be the statue of the White Tiger God.
Su Fan could sense that the other three divine statues in the system space were resonating.
The vitality of the Azure Dragon, the blazing intensity of the Vermilion Bird, the solidity of the Black Tortoise, and the sharpness of the White Tiger interact with each other, like old friends reunited after a long separation.
"What changes will occur when the four sacred beasts gather?" Wang Tian couldn't help but ask.
Su Fan spoke frankly: "Ancient books record that the Four Saints guard the four poles and can suppress calamities of heaven and earth."
"As for other effects, we'll have to try them to know."
Wang Tian nodded and told Su Fan to take the white tiger deity statue away.
"Young friend Su, hurry and take this White Tiger God statue to the Northern Frontier. We don't know how much longer they can hold out there."
Su Fan nodded and used the system space to store the White Tiger God statue.
But at that moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.
Four beams of light shot into the sky from Su Fan's body—green, red, black, and white—intertwining in the night sky to form a giant four-symbol diagram.
The Azure Dragon's phantom is coiled in the east, the Vermilion Bird flaps its wings in the south, the Black Tortoise rides the waves in the north, and the White Tiger roars in the west.
The entire Tianshan mountain range trembled, and all the beasts fell silent.
The people living around the Tianshan Mountains were shocked by what they saw.
"Holy crap! What is this thing?"
"666, aren't these the Four Divine Beasts that Su Fan wanted to collect?"
"Judging from that direction, it seems to be the territory of the Tianshan King's family. Does that mean Su Fan has collected all the divine statues of the Four Sacred Beasts?"
"It should be."
"Quick, quick, take a picture and post it online."
"..."
This phenomenon lasted for about ten breaths, after which the light faded and everything returned to calm.
Wang Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "What a commotion..."
Su Fan nodded and carefully put the four statues away.
Just as he put it away, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Su Fan took out his phone and answered it. Old Mo's anxious voice came through:
"Su Fan! Urgent report from the Northern Frontier! The seal of the evil calamity has loosened again, and the extraterrestrial creature tide is coming once more! Ma Tao is struggling to hold on, and Yuan Qingsheng has already rushed over, but they can only hold out for a maximum of twelve more hours!"
Su Fan exclaimed in disbelief, "There are extraterrestrial creatures even stronger than the Soul-Devouring Beast?!"
Only extraterrestrial creatures stronger than the Soul-Devouring Beast could leave Ma Tao helpless.
Old Mo shook his head, his voice urgent: "No, this time it's a part of the true form of the evil calamity!"
Part of the evil calamity itself?
Hold the grass!
Big trouble!
Su Fan immediately said:
"I'm leaving right away."
After saying that, Su Fan hung up the phone.
Su Fan took out a teleportation talisman, which he had bought again from the system shop in the past few days.
"Take care of yourself!"
Wang Tian said solemnly to Su Fan.
Su Fan nodded and crushed the teleportation talisman in his hand.
The space where Su Fan was located rippled, and then Su Fan's figure disappeared from the spot.
When his vision cleared again, Su Fan was already in the central square of Northern Frontier City.
Compared to when I left, this once formidable border town is now in ruins.
The city wall collapsed in many places, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burning.
In the distance, a dark crack stretched across the sky, which was part of the true form of the evil calamity.
Twisted extraterrestrial creatures continuously poured out of the rift, swarming towards the human defenses like locusts.
"Su Fan!" Ma Tao's voice came.
He arrived from the sky, covered in blood, with undried black stains still clinging to his staff.
This ninth-tier Divine Master's aura was disordered at the moment, clearly indicating that he had been fighting for a long time.
"How is the situation?" Su Fan went straight to the point.
"It's terrible." Ma Tao's face was grim.
"A part of the evil calamity has awakened earlier than expected. I can only barely block it and prevent it from attacking directly."
"Fortunately, after you left, I arranged for a group of Divine Masters to come in and used their own divine power to prevent their divine power from being affected by the evil calamity. Otherwise, with so many extraterrestrial creatures, this Northern Frontier City would have fallen."
After saying that, he looked at the statue in Su Fan's arms: "The Four Divine Beasts are all here?"
"All done."
Ma Tao then asked, "Without the statue of the Qilin deity, can this evil calamity be sealed away?"
Su Fan nodded solemnly and said, "It can be sealed, but the sealing time will be very short!"
"If there were a statue of the Qilin deity, perhaps we could destroy it."
Upon hearing this, Ma Tao smiled.
"It's good that it can be sealed; we can find the Qilin deity statue slowly!"
As they talked, the two flew towards the city wall.
During the journey, Su Fan explained to Ma Tao the method of suppressing the four sacred beast deity statues.
According to ancient texts, the four sacred beasts should be arranged according to their directions: Azure Dragon to the east, Vermilion Bird to the south, White Tiger to the west, and Black Tortoise to the north.
"After the arrangement is completed, they need to be awakened to activate the power of the Four Symbols and form the 'Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Formation'."
"In this way, we can suppress the true form of this evil calamity!"
