"High Priest, you have actually come. Hurry and see, the River God has manifested. Does heaven have any omen?"

"Yes, High Priest, you are knowledgeable and can communicate with heaven, hurry and see!"

The High Priest heard the voice and couldn't help but look in one direction.

Not far away, Lei Bao was full of smiles, and he was reaching out, constantly stroking the head of an eight-year-old child.

The High Priest trembled all over and hurriedly withdrew his gaze. He said shakily to the villagers.

"In those days, the world was plagued by floods, and the River God was often furious, but fortunately, a hero was born, named Dayu!"

"Legend has it that after Dayu controlled the floods, he left behind a divine object, and a prophecy—"

Once these words were spoken, the crowd of villagers became even more curious. The story of Dayu controlling the floods was widely circulated not only throughout Zhao Guo but even throughout the world.

The prophecy he left behind must be the will of heaven.

In the crowd, a commoner asked excitedly, "High Priest, what is the prophecy?"

The High Priest glanced at his favorite grandson, then said word by word, "When the one-eyed appears, the dynasty will perish!"

"This is, divine punishment!"

Boom!

Once these words were spoken, it was like thunder rolling, shocking everyone into astonishment.

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped, unable to help but feel their scalps tingle.

When the one-eyed appears, the dynasty will perish!

This prophecy almost pointed directly at Zhao Guo!

"Everyone, hurry and look, there should be a divine treasure born beside the stone man!"

Following the High Priest's words, the crowd hurriedly searched beside the silt near the stone man.

Upon searching, they actually found some fragments of the former dynasty's imperial seal, as well as some glass that was almost transparent, shattered into small pieces, and could reflect a person's face.

This made the commoners confirm even more that the one-eyed stone man had appeared in the world, and this was divine punishment!

The Zhao clan stole the country, and divine punishment has descended!

Even the Zhao Guo soldiers who arrived, upon hearing this matter and seeing the three-zhang-tall giant, as well as these pieces of glass that could reflect a person's face, also threw down their weapons and knelt to worship.

"Divine punishment, this must be divine punishment!"

"I heard it clearly last night, that huge sound must be thunder, this is the wrath of heaven!"

"The Zhao clan caused the wrath of heaven, and heaven has specially descended divine punishment!"

"The Zhao clan's energy is exhausted!"

In an instant, the commoners said one after another, spreading it with nose and eyes.

And because Zhao Gao silk had plummeted and grain prices had skyrocketed, there was already a two-way collapse—one falling so much that no one bought it, and the other rising so much that the commoners couldn't afford it at all—which had long since caused huge public anger.

Therefore, once the news came out, it was like locusts sweeping and a hurricane passing, sweeping through all parts of Zhao Guo!

Do not say the stone man has one eye, stirring up the Yellow River to rebel against the world!
