Don't rush me in the comments! I'm currently identifying a primordial saint.

Chapter 223 The Giant God Chasing the Sun, Kuafu!!!

Su Fan cleared his throat and said to the live stream:

"Everyone, the Chinese deity we're about to appraise is truly remarkable. You'd better keep your eyes peeled and take a good look."

Viewers in the live stream chat flooded the comments section with messages like:

"Don't worry, host. I'll definitely keep a close eye on this."

"After what the anchor said, I didn't even dare to close my eyes."

"Isn't that right? What level of deity is this that has caused the streamer to react like this?"

"Could it be even more powerful than the water god Gonggong and the fire god Zhurong, or perhaps comparable to Laozi, one of the Three Pure Ones?"

"..."

Su Fan said with a smile, "Before introducing this Chinese deity, let me first introduce the mythological deeds of this Chinese deity."

"This story is so meaningful that it could be included in school textbooks!"

The live stream went silent for a moment, then the chat started scrolling wildly again.

"They can be included in school textbooks? Holy crap! Are these Chinese gods really that powerful?"

"These towering Chinese deities must have done something meaningful to deserve being included in Chinese textbooks."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Wang Tian's excitement intensified.

Su Fan remained silent, standing before the towering statue of the god.

Even he was involuntarily overwhelmed by the overwhelming primordial aura emanating from the towering statue of the deity.

The live stream chat was going absolutely wild. With the camera zoomed in, they could see every detail of the towering statue of the Chinese deity.

"Holy crap! That physique! Those muscles! This is the god I've always dreamed of!"

"The fairy Diao Chan was breathtakingly beautiful just now, but this one exudes power to the extreme!"

"Host, tell me quickly, what kind of god is this?! I can't wait!"

"Just looking at the statue makes my legs go weak. How terrifying would it be if the real thing came down to earth?"

Su Fan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He turned around, facing the camera, his expression solemn like never before.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Su Fan's voice echoed in the live stream room.

"The Chinese deity I am about to appraise is an immortal monument in the history of Chinese mythology, for its lofty status, tragic deeds, and great spirit."

These words made everyone hold their breath.

Even the usually calm Wang Tian clenched his fists nervously at this moment.

"After listening to what the anchor said, I understand why the myths and deeds of Chinese gods can be included in school textbooks."

Su Fan continued:

"When people see this deity with a bare upper body, bulging muscles, and holding a wooden staff, they might think of some powerful deities."

Su Fan said slowly, "But I have to tell you, you've all guessed wrong—or rather, you've all guessed too superficially."

"This god does not fight for the sake of fighting, nor does he exist to display power."

"Everything He did stemmed from a desire that seems almost unbelievable to us, a pursuit that transcends the limits of life."

Su Fan paused for a moment, the suspense was immense!

The chat in the live stream had thinned out considerably, and everyone was listening intently.

"In ancient China, the sun rose in the east and set in the west every day, bringing light and warmth to the world, but also heat and drought."

Su Fan's voice became distant, as if he were telling an ancient story.

"At that time, there was a tribe of giants on earth, and their leader was the god who stands before us now."

"One day, this leader looked up at the sky and at the blazing sun, and a thought came to him—a thought that changed his life and was engraved in the blood of the Chinese people."

Su Fan turned around and pointed to the statue's crimson-gold eyes: "He thought, if only he could catch up with the sun and ask it if it could be less hot in the summer and not set so early in the winter, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The live stream was silent for a moment, then the chat exploded with comments.

"Chase... catch up with the sun?"

"Are you kidding me? How can you chase the sun?"

"So what? There's also Hou Yi shooting down the suns!"

"I find it unbelievable. Maybe these things are very simple for the Chinese gods?"

Wang Tian, ​​standing to the side, was also stunned.

Su Fan then began to speak.

"The peach wood staff held by this giant deity is no ordinary staff, but a divine peach wood staff with the power to ward off evil and communicate with heaven and earth. It is a symbol of the giant deity running from the place of sunrise, chasing the sun!"

Su Fan's description made everyone feel as if they were there.

A giant, towering between heaven and earth, strides forward, and the earth trembles beneath his feet.

He ran across the plains and crossed mountains and rivers, the sun seemingly within reach yet forever remaining at a distance.

"The giant god chased for nine days and nine nights, and finally stopped in a place called Yu Valley, at the closest point to the sun."

Su Fan's voice lowered.

"At that time, His whole body was scorched by the sun's true fire, and almost all the water in His body evaporated. He was extremely thirsty, so He bent down and drank the Yellow River dry."

"But that wasn't enough; He also drank the Wei River dry."

The live stream room was completely silent.

To drink the Yellow River dry? To drink the Wei River dry? What terror! What divine power!

This is probably not just an SSS-level Chinese deity, but even an SR-level one, right?

"However, the long run and the scorching heat of the sun pushed the giant god's body to its limits."

Su Fan's voice carried a hint of tragic grandeur.

"On his continued northward search for the Great Swamp, this giant who pursued the light finally fell."

"but……"

Su Fan suddenly looked up, his eyes shining with reverence.

"The death of the giant god is not the end!"

"Where the peach wood staff in His hand fell to the ground, it transformed into a peach forest stretching for three thousand miles—Denglin."

"The peaches that later grew in this peach orchard became the fruit that quenched the thirst and saved the lives of countless travelers."

"And the giant god's body merged with the earth; his flesh and blood became mountains and rivers, and his breath became wind and clouds. More importantly..."

Su Fan said, enunciating each word clearly, "His indomitable spirit, his pursuit of light, and his advocacy for the people are ingrained in the blood of every Chinese descendant!"

"Therefore, the giant god we see today is not a simple power-type god."

Su Fan concluded: "He is an 'explorer,' a 'sacrifice,' and a 'giver.'"

"His 'divine mandate' includes not only 'great strength,' 'endurance,' and 'chasing the sun,' but also 'protection,' 'blessing,' and 'spiritual inheritance'!"

This explanation of the mythological deeds of the giant gods completely shocked everyone.

The live stream chat paused for a full five seconds before erupting like a volcano.

"I cried... I really cried..."

"To pursue the light, unwavering until death... this is the true spirit of China!"

"Well done, Chinese gods! Now I understand why the stories of these Chinese gods mentioned by the anchor are included in school textbooks!"

"If this isn't written into the text and this spirit isn't passed on, how can we talk about the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation?"

"The anchor is right, this spirit is truly in our blood! Think of our ancestors, weren't they also exploring the unknown, step by step forging alliances with increasingly powerful Chinese deities?"

Wang Tian was already in tears.

At this moment, the look in his eyes as he gazed at the giant god statue was no longer merely an expectation of a contract with a powerful deity, but rather a pilgrimage to a spirit.

Su Fan calmed himself down and turned to Wang Tian:

"Patriarch Wang, I have finished recounting the mythical deeds of this giant god. Now, please select a member of the Wang family to attempt to establish a connection with this giant god statue."

Wang Tian nodded emphatically and turned to look at the boys and girls behind him.

His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on an unremarkable boy.

Wang Lin is a member of a collateral branch of the Wang family. His parents died in an early exploration of a divine relic, and he was raised by his family.

He was introverted and not good at speaking, and was practically invisible in the Wang family of his generation.

But Wang Tian remembered that three years ago, when the family organized a climb to the top of Tianshan Mountain, it was this seemingly frail boy who gritted his teeth and made it to the end step by step, never stopping even when his feet were blistered.

Wang Lin might be the most suitable member of the Wang family.

Wang Tian was also impressed by Wang Lin's spirit, so he thought of giving Wang Lin a chance alone.

If Wang Lin doesn't work, let others try.

"Wang Lin," Wang Tian suddenly spoke.

The boy was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to believe that the head of the family would call his name.

He came out somewhat awkwardly: "Master, head of the family."

"Give it a try," Wang Tian said only.

The other members of the Wang family were somewhat surprised, but no one raised any objections.

Wang Tian is the head of the Wang family of Tianshan. His words are absolute authority, and there is no need to ask why.

Moreover, gods of the giant level cannot be sensed through talent or birth; what is needed is a connection of minds.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and walked to the giant god statue.

Unlike the others' excitement, his gaze was calm, fixed intently on the giant god's crimson-gold eyes.

Then, Wang Lin closed his eyes.

Time passed second by second.

One minute, two minutes...

Just as some began to doubt whether Wang Lin could truly sense the giant deity, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

The jujube wood staff in the giant god statue's hand suddenly emitted a faint light.

The light was initially faint, like the first ray of dawn, but it grew brighter and brighter until it transformed into a golden pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!

"boom!"

A powerful aura erupted from the giant god statue; it was not the oppression of power, but a vast, tragic, and indomitable spiritual pressure.

Many viewers in the live stream were shocked by what they saw.

"Holy crap! This giant god statue isn't even awakened yet, and it's already radiating such oppressive power?"

"This giant god is incredibly powerful!"

"..."

Everyone present felt a jolt, as if something ancient had awakened within their blood.

Wang Lin's body began to tremble slightly.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, his face turned pale, and his lips were pressed into a straight line, but his eyes remained tightly closed.

Su Fan's eyes lit up upon seeing this:

"He's inheriting the spiritual legacy of this giant god statue! This kid... is no ordinary person!"

The spiritual legacy of this divine statue is no simple matter.

If successful, then there will be no need to adapt to the divine power of this contract; one can directly unleash the full power of the gods.

Even Su Fan had never received any spiritual inheritance from the Chinese gods.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tian was somewhat surprised, but even more so, he looked at Wang Lin with nervousness.

He knew that this kind of mental test was more dangerous than a test of pure strength. If he couldn't withstand it, he would suffer mental damage at best, and become an idiot at worst.

Five more minutes passed.

For everyone, those five minutes felt like five hours.

"Is this kid any good? He looks like he's going to fail."

"Spiritual inheritance? This is the first time I've ever heard of this!"

"Could he really fail? I can tell he's no good just by looking at his skinny body!"

"..."

While everyone in the live stream was questioning Wang Lin...

Finally, the light from the giant god statue slowly faded, and the spiritual pressure gradually dissipated.

Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes, and a faint golden light shimmered within them.

Wang Lin looked at Wang Tian, ​​his voice somewhat hoarse: "Patriarch... I saw it."

"What did you see?" Wang Tian asked eagerly.

"A peach orchard, very beautiful."

Wang Lin said simply, then added, "There's another road... it's very long, and I can't see the end, but I want to walk on it."

Su Fan was shocked upon hearing this.

Kuafu's Denglin Forest, Kuafu's Journey of Chasing the Sun!

This young man truly resonated deeply with Kuafu!

Wang Lin is undoubtedly the best candidate to form a contract with Kuafu; the compatibility is perhaps... no! It's definitely 100%.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Wang Tian said "good" three times, his excitement overflowing.

Su Fan stepped forward and patted Wang Lin on the shoulder:

"You are remarkable. Now, repeat after me the incantation to awaken this giant god."

Wang Lin nodded heavily, his eyes calm and unwavering.

Su Fan turned to face the Kuafu statue, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

This time, he even straightened his clothes before slowly speaking:

"Barefoot, I traverse mountains and rivers!"

"Drinking the Yellow and Wei rivers to their utmost, their spirit soars to the heavens!"

"May the peachwood staff transform into a shady forest for future generations!"

"The heroic souls who chased the sun shine brightly in the sky!"

The four-line incantation, each word resounding, encapsulates the deeds and spirit of Kuafu chasing the sun, drinking from the river, and transforming into a forest.

Wang Lin followed Su Fan, reciting each word carefully.

His voice trembled slightly at first, but it became more and more firm and louder as he recited.

When he read the last sentence, he seemed to be infused with some kind of power, and his thin body straightened up.

Then, he shouted the most crucial sentence:

"Junior Wang Lin respectfully welcomes the God of the Sun Chasing—"

"Kuafu!!!"

As Wang Lin finished speaking, a tremendous sound suddenly rang out from the distant horizon.

"Boom!"

The world changed color!

The Kuafu statue burst forth with an unprecedented golden light, so intense that everyone had to close their eyes.

In the light, the stone skin on the surface of the statue peeled away inch by inch, revealing the true body inside.

A towering giant slowly opened his eyes.

Kuafu's eyes were crimson gold, and there were indeed two flames burning within them.

His body was more majestic than the statue, with muscles that bulged like mountains and skin marked by the scorching heat of the sun.

Kuafu lowered his head and glanced at the crowd.

Then, He looked up at the sky, His voice booming like a bell:

"The Chinese people! Chasing the sun, Kuafu!!!"
