Chapter 217 Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Qilin!
Su Fan was thinking of using the Soundwave platform to purchase this Chinese deity.
Su Fan believed that these statues of the Four Divine Beasts and the Qilin, representing Chinese deities, were most likely in private collections or held by certain families with divine lineages.
In the treasure troves of various provinces and cities in China, it would be quite remarkable to possess even one of the Four Divine Beasts.
As soon as Su Fan started his live stream, the number of viewers in the live stream room instantly reached over a million, and it was still rising.
Five million in one minute...
Five minutes, ten million...
Ten minutes, twenty million...
But that's not enough. If he were just appraising Chinese deities normally, Su Fan wouldn't care how many people were in the live stream.
But this time, the goal is to search for the Four Divine Beasts and the statue of the Qilin deity throughout the entire land of China, and the number of people needed is really not enough.
Su Fan took a deep breath, opened the system, and clicked on the system live streaming permission.
With the system's protection, Su Fan doesn't need to worry about network lag or the live stream crashing due to too many viewers.
The number of viewers in the live stream stopped growing when it reached approximately 30 million.
Now is the time for Master Mo to step up his game.
At Mo Lao's command, the staff of the Yinlang platform immediately pushed Su Fan's live broadcast room to the users of the Yinlang platform.
Everyone who was browsing the music streaming platform was forcibly pulled into Su Fan's 100% Insightful God live stream room.
Meanwhile, Su Fan's live stream was inserted into all major mainstream software programs.
Moreover, the headlines on various apps were all about Su Fan starting his live stream.
With such powerful support, the popularity of Su Fan's live stream exploded.
In the blink of an eye, the number of users exceeded 50 million, and even moved toward the 100 million mark.
Two minutes later, the number of viewers in the live stream reached one hundred million...
Fifteen minutes later, the number of viewers in the live stream reached 200 million...
Countless netizens who flooded into Su Fan's live stream were taken aback by the sheer scale of the event.
"Holy crap! Is something terrible about to happen?"
"I didn't know! I saw that all the online platforms were promoting Su Fan's live stream."
"Me too. I was at work when I saw this, so I just skipped work."
"Could it be that the US is about to invade? Brothers along the coast, what's going on?"
"Upstairs, there's nothing going on along the coast, it's calm and peaceful."
"That's strange, what's with this commotion?"
"Don't overthink it. The host will say it later. Let's just hope it's good news."
"Hurry up and say something, host! You've been standing for almost an hour, aren't you tired?"
Su Fan watched as the number of viewers in the live stream had reached its limit and could no longer increase.
So he cleared his throat and said:
"Dear viewers, I'm starting this live stream today not to authenticate Chinese deities."
As soon as Su Fan opened his mouth, the viewers in the live stream became impatient.
"Everyone knows that, just tell me why you're doing this live stream."
Su Fan happened to catch this comment, and his face immediately darkened.
Su Fan said, "@Neighbor's sister-in-law, what's the rush? I'll say it when the time is right! Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"
After cursing the netizen, Su Fan returned to the main topic.
"This live broadcast is for a major event concerning the safety of China..."
After Su Fan finished speaking, he paused for a moment, which piqued the curiosity of the netizens.
The live stream fell silent instantly, as if countless eyes were staring directly at Su Fan through the screen.
Su Fan continued, "Everyone knows about the Northern Frontier, right?"
Viewers in the live stream chat flooded the screen with comments.
"I know, I know. The S-grade Seven Star Goddess Weaver Girl statue that the streamer auctioned off during the last live broadcast was bought by the Su family from the Northern Frontier."
"The capital of the Northern Frontier? Has something extraordinary happened in the Northern Frontier?"
Su Fan nodded after seeing the comments on the screen.
"That's right, this netizen guessed correctly. Something really big has happened in the northern frontier."
"Does everyone remember the netizen who was punished by a nurse for moving around while receiving IV fluids at the hospital and then fed his own excrement to the patient in the next bed?"
Those watching Su Fan's live stream on their screens nodded in agreement upon seeing this unconventional nickname.
Su Fan continued, "During this time, I went to the Northern Frontier. I discovered that the evil calamity that was severely injured by that senior from the Su family in the Northern Frontier is gradually recovering."
"Moreover, its strength is gradually increasing. The evil aura it emits alone can greatly enhance the strength of this extraterrestrial creature."
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this!
"Holy crap! No way? Is the evil calamity about to resurface?"
"We're doomed! If this evil calamity revives and attacks China again, China might very well fall!"
"That's right, and there are also countries like the United States eyeing China covetously."
"Caught in a pincer movement, China might be wiped out!"
Su Fan nodded, raised his voice, and adopted a serious expression.
"If this calamity is fully restored, China will be in grave danger!"
The live stream chat exploded instantly, with comments scrolling wildly.
"Does the streamer have any solutions? The streamer must have some, otherwise they wouldn't be doing this live stream."
"Host, please tell us the solution!"
Su Fan continued, "There is a method, but it's extremely difficult."
"According to the notes of the Su family elders, we need to collect the statues of the Four Sacred Beasts and the Qilin and awaken them in order to seal this evil calamity."
The viewers in the live stream were all puzzled upon hearing this.
The Four Divine Beasts? The Qilin?
What kind of gods are these?
Su Fan looked at the screen full of questions about the Four Divine Beasts and the Qilin, and patiently explained:
"These four sacred beasts are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Along with the Qilin, they are powerful deities in Chinese mythology, and their statues possess the power to suppress evil and disasters."
As he spoke, Su Fan took out a picture depicting five Chinese deities and showed it to the many viewers in the live stream.
"Please take a screenshot and write them down. If you have similar statues of Chinese deities in your home, please contact me. I will give you the same reward."
"This concerns the safety of China, and the safety of everyone. I hope that everyone will contact me after seeing this, and not keep it to themselves."
After hearing Su Fan's words, netizens patted their chests and said:
"Host, how could we do something that concerns the safety of China?"
"Don't worry, host. If I see it, I will definitely report it to you."
Some netizens, as soon as Su Fan finished speaking, went to search for the Chinese deities they possessed in their homes.
They were compared one by one with the portraits on the drawings in the screenshots.
Then the comments started scrolling wildly.
"Host, I just checked, and it seems like there's a similar white tiger statue in my ancestral home. I'll go back and take a look!"
"I saw a stone ornament that looked a bit like a Black Tortoise in an old house in the countryside."
"Host, I have a statue of a Chinese deity that looks like a Qilin right now. Would you like to take a look?"
Seeing such feedback from the live stream chat, Su Fan was overjoyed and quickly said:
"Everyone, if you have any images of what appears to be related statues, please send me a private message on the platform as soon as possible. I will then send someone to collect them from your locations. This concerns the safety of China and everyone's safety, so I hope you can cooperate."
As soon as Su Fan finished speaking, a flood of private messages came into the live stream.
After explaining the matter, Su Fan ended the live stream.
Meanwhile, clips of the live stream related to this incident were also posted online. In just one minute, the clips received over a million likes, directly taking the top spot on the trending topics list.
Then, the rest of the trending topics list was also dominated by the content of Su Fan's live stream.
Is an Evil Calamity Resurfacing? China is in grave danger!
The Four Divine Beasts, including the Qilin! The key to sealing away the evil calamity!
"..."
After the broadcast ended, Su Fan received a message from Elder Mo.
The investigation into the national treasure vault has made progress, uncovering some potentially relevant clues.
Su Fan's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly contacted Elder Mo.
Mr. Mo's call was answered quickly.
"Old Mo, quickly tell me about the progress of the investigation in the National Treasury. Which deity from the Chinese divine family was found?"
Su Fan asked eagerly.
It would be best if we could find a statue of a Qilin (a mythical creature).
Among these four sacred beasts is the statue of the Azure Dragon, which is connected to the statues of the other three sacred beasts. Finding them is easier than finding the statue of the Qilin.
Old Mo said, "In a treasure vault in the southwest region, a statue of a deity that is suspected to be the Vermilion Bird has been discovered, but you will need to authenticate it."
Su Fan was somewhat disappointed after hearing this, but it was alright; finding the divine statues of the Four Divine Beasts was not bad either.
Su Fan immediately said, "Elder Mo, I'll set off right away."
After hanging up the phone, Su Fan immediately boarded the treasure airship and headed to the Southwest Treasure Vault.
As soon as Su Fan arrived, someone in charge was there to meet him.
Su Fan asked directly, "Where is the statue of the Chinese deity, Vermilion Bird?"
The person in charge didn't dare to delay for a moment and said directly, "Over here, Anchor Su, come with me."
As he spoke, he led the way.
Su Fan followed the person in charge to the place where the statue was placed.
A bird-like deity statue, entirely crimson like a burning flame, with dazzlingly bright feathers, long tail feathers spread like a rosy robe, and adorned with golden patterns as brilliant as starlight, appeared before Su Fan's eyes.
Su Fan stepped forward and carefully sensed the statue of the Chinese deity.
"With this aura, it must be the statue of the Vermilion Bird God."
Su Fan muttered to himself.
The person in charge nervously asked, "Anchor Su, is this a Vermilion Bird statue?"
Su Fan nodded. "It's highly likely, but we need to confirm it further."
After saying that, Su Fan took out the Azure Dragon deity statue from the system space.
Su Fan placed the Azure Dragon God statue next to the Vermilion Bird statue.
As soon as the two statues of Chinese deities approached, two mysterious beams of light flickered between them, as if drawn by an invisible force.
Su Fan sensed a slight agitation in the aura of the Azure Dragon God statue, as if it were resonating with the Vermilion Bird God statue.
Su Fan was overjoyed. As the light grew brighter, the Vermilion Bird statue seemed to come alive, emitting a clear chirp that, though soft, carried boundless majesty.
Su Fan knew that this statue of a deity was the Vermilion Bird deity statue he was looking for.
Su Fan carefully put away the Vermilion Bird God statue.
Now, the statues of the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird, the Chinese deities, are complete.
……
In a small village in the far south of China, a young boy is reluctantly holding a statue of a Chinese deity.
The Chinese deity statue depicts a tortoise and a snake intertwined. The tortoise has a thick, patterned body, while the snake has a slender body that coils around the tortoise's shell, which is a deep blue-green color.
Looking at the eyes of this deity statue, they are calm and powerful, exuding weight and majesty.
This statue of a Chinese deity is the very Xuanwu deity statue that Su Fan has been searching for.
The boy stroked the Xuanwu statue, his eyes filled with reluctance.
He had just watched Su Fan's live stream and knew that the Chinese deity statue passed down in his family was very likely the Xuanwu deity statue, one of the Four Sacred Beasts.
Just then, the boy's phone rang; it was his grandfather calling.
"My dear grandson, I just watched Su Fan's live stream. We have to hand over this Xuanwu statue; it concerns the safety of China."
Grandpa said earnestly.
The boy hesitated, "Grandpa, can't we keep this Xuanwu deity statue? If I form a contract with it, I'll definitely become incredibly powerful!"
"Then I can avenge my parents."
Grandpa sighed, "Child, let's talk about revenge later. China is in trouble now, we can't just think of ourselves."
"Moreover, keeping this Xuanwu statue in our home won't allow it to fulfill its true purpose. Giving it to Su Fan might save the entire China."
"If the evil calamity awakens, all Chinese people will die!"
The boy bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes. He knew his grandfather was right, but the hatred and reluctance in his heart made it difficult for him to make a decision.
Just then, the boy suddenly felt a warm power emanating from the Xuanwu statue in his hand, as if it were soothing his emotions.
A thought struck the boy, as if he heard a deep voice whispering in his ear:
"Child, go. This is your mission, and it is also my mission. Once the evil calamity is sealed away, I will help you take revenge."
The boy was stunned; he hadn't expected the Xuanwu statue to possess sentience.
He took a deep breath and slowly nodded.
"Grandpa, I understand. I'll contact Su Fan right away."
Grandpa sighed, "It's good that you understand."
The boy nodded, wiped away his tears, picked up his phone, opened the music platform, sent Su Fan a photo of the Xuanwu God statue, and explained his location.
After Su Fan finished setting up the Vermilion Bird statue, he was checking his private messages on the Soundwave platform when he received the boy's latest message.
Looking at the boy's nickname, "@Host, I have a Xuanwu God statue," Su Fan curiously opened his private messages.
Upon seeing the photo, with its clearly visible statue of the Black Tortoise deity, Su Fan was so excited he almost jumped up.
"Statue of the Black Tortoise God"
Su Fan hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; he'd found another statue of a Chinese deity so quickly.
The decision to start live streaming on Yinlang was definitely the right one.
