Rewriting the Gods

In Zhonghuang Mountain, rays of golden light broke through the air and entered the ancestral pavilion of the human race. Not long after, the entire ancestral pavilion was crowded with more than a hundred people, and each of them was a powerful Daluo Jinxian level!
Seeing everyone gathered in front of him, Jiang Haofeng, who was urgently called out by Wanxiang Taoist, looked around and said:

"Everyone, in the past, Gong Gong angrily crashed into Mount Buzhou, causing the water of the Heavenly River to overflow and sink into the underground cave. Now the underground cave is pouring out the water of the Heavenly River."

"The water of the mighty Tianhe River was enough to cover the entire Honghuang Continent. Now, 90% of the territory in Honghuang is occupied by our human race. If we allow the water of the Tianhe River to wreak havoc, I don't know how many of our clansmen will perish in this flood."

"Do you have any tips on how to control floods?"

Jiang Haofeng did not hesitate at all. After summoning all the supreme elders of the human race, he immediately asked.

This flood was different from previous ones. According to the order of history, this flood lasted for a very long time. It lasted throughout the terms of office of the last three emperors of the human race: Emperor Yao, Emperor Shun, and Emperor Yu.

The last emperor of the human race was Dayu. He became the emperor because of his contribution to flood control. He ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave and suppressed the destiny of the human race.

This period was extremely long, during which floods raged and no one knows how many people died.

When humans tried to control floods, they also tried several times, first blocking and then dredging. This took a lot of time and even led to Dayu's father Gun being executed for his failure to control the floods.

If this had happened in the original time and space, with such a long period of time, I wonder how many human beings would have died.

The decline of the human race was not only due to the slaughter of humans by the demons during the Lich Period, but was also closely related to this flood.

Although there is no clear mention of the casualties among humans caused by this flood in history, the flood raged for several years. It was a disaster that affected the entire human race after all, so how could there be no casualties?

When the flood comes, all the plains in the vast wilderness will be submerged, and only a few mountain peaks will remain intact. In this way, the territory where the entire human race can live will be reduced by more than half, and at the same time, a large amount of farmland will be abandoned.

If the delay is too long, the food supply will be greatly reduced and the territory in which the human race lives will be greatly reduced. By then, who knows how many humans will die.

Even though he adhered to the principle of non-interference and did not interfere in the development of the human race, the situation before him was clearly not within his scope of non-interference.

Everything Jiang Haofeng has done since his time traveling through time has had only one purpose, and that is to accumulate the power of the human race, rewrite the ending of the Conferred God, and make the human race the true protagonists of heaven and earth, rather than a tool for the major forces in the prehistoric world to harvest faith.

Now that it involves the foundation of the entire human race, Jiang Haofeng will naturally not sit idly by.

If we let it develop freely and let the human race manage the floods in the process of continuous exploration, even though the human race is now much more powerful than in the original time and space, and its ability to deal with sudden disasters has been greatly enhanced. After a flood, the number of human race in the visible veins will be reduced by at least 20 to 30%.

I must intervene in this matter and quell the flood in the shortest possible time!

After Jiang Haofeng finished speaking, a thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of everyone present. No one spoke for a long time. After a long time, Emperor Yao proposed to block the flood, trap it near the cave, build a huge reservoir around the cave, and store all the water in it.

After Emperor Yao spoke, everyone looked thoughtful, and some of them couldn't help but nod slightly, thinking that this was also a solution.

Nowadays, human beings grow grains and crops everywhere, which is the foundation of their survival. If we allow floods to wreak havoc, the harvest of the entire human race will be reduced by more than half, which will be a huge loss for the entire human race.

On the contrary, if the water was blocked around the cave, the crops around the cave would have been destroyed, so it would not matter if they were occupied by the flood.

For a time, many people agreed with Emperor Yao's approach. After all, food is the most important thing for people!
Although there are many immortals in the human race, there are more mortals, and mortals are the foundation of the human race. Humans are born mortals. Without mortals, there would be no immortals.

No matter what, the five grains are the most important among all the people in the world. No matter what we do, we must give priority to ensuring the supply of five grains.

"No, when the Tianhe River leaked, the flood ravaged the world. With Buzhou Mountain as the center, the vast flood covered the entire Honghuang Continent and turned the entire Honghuang Continent into a swamp. It is not so easy to contain such a large amount of water in a small area."

Among the crowd, Suiren, who had just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level not long ago, spoke up.

When Mount Buzhou collapsed, Suiren also saw it. Even though Nuwa quickly suppressed the flood in the Tianhe River, the number of casualties among the human race still reached tens of billions in a short period of time.

Such a huge amount of water could not be contained in such a small area.

Dachao at the side also said: "What Suiren said is right. If we block the flood, the flood will accumulate more and more. One day, when the flood can no longer be blocked, the flood that has accumulated for several years will burst out in an instant, and the consequences will be even more serious!"

"But if it's not blocked, what about the food in the fields that day?"

"Although the tribe has stored food, if we allow the flood to continue, the tribe may not have enough food. I don't know how many people will starve to death."

As soon as Dachao finished speaking, the supreme elder spoke up to refute him.

For a moment, Suiren and Dachao also showed a conflicted look on their faces.

Food is a topic that cannot be avoided. No matter what, we cannot ignore the food in the fields. Plains and valleys are the best places to grow food and the places with the most food. At the same time, they are also the places most likely to be destroyed by floods.

As time goes by, new solutions are proposed from time to time, but they are ultimately unable to perfectly solve the current flood problem.

Neither loosening nor blocking is good.

Jiang Haofeng saw that everyone had almost finished their discussion and said, "I think it's better to combine dredging and blocking!"

"Such a large amount of water cannot be left in Kyushu. It can only flow into the sea."

"But we can't just let the flood wreak havoc and destroy the farmland!"

"Build flood-proof dams in places where my people gather and crops grow abundantly, to protect cities and farmlands from being overwhelmed by floods."

"Build canals far away from farmland and cities to guide the floodwaters back to the four seas!"

Jiang Haofeng paused, then spoke again: "A flood will inevitably cause disaster losses. This cannot be avoided, and there is no perfect solution. We can only avoid it as much as possible to reduce the losses of the clan."

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this. This was the only way they could do now.

The combination of dredging and blocking can solve the problem that the territory around the underground cave is too small to block the flood. At the same time, it can also solve the problem of floods damaging farmland.

At once, everyone agreed. "Okay, if that's the case, then let's do it!"

“Established elders and officials from all regions to inspect the localities and build canals to divert the floodwaters to the four seas.”

Immediately afterwards, a group of human ancestors began to arrange the details of flood control in detail. The Nine Provinces of the human race is so vast that flood control is not a simple matter. There are still many details that need to be discussed.

Of course, since the matter is urgent, there will be no detailed discussion, only a rough definition of responsibilities.

Jiang Haofeng specially appointed Gun and Yu as generals and asked them to be responsible for the construction of canals in some territories.

When Nuwa City was being built, Jiang Haofeng built the largest city of the human race with the eyes of future generations in mind, thus becoming the first person in the human race to invent a city, and heaven and earth bestowed merits on him.

However, the inventor of this city was supposed to be Dayu's father Gun. It was invented by Gun in response to floods. When Jiang Haofeng built the city, he said that he would repay the cause and effect. In the original time and space, Gun was executed for his poor flood control, but now he has his own way of governing the city.

Naturally, Gun would not be executed. He took advantage of Gun's merits from heaven and saved his life. Afterwards, he gave him a private sermon. This way, the cause and effect were settled.

The clan meeting ended, and a group of supreme elders of the human race returned to Jiuzhou. As the orders they brought back were issued, for a moment, the entire human race began to operate at high speed like a huge machine.

The ruling system consisted of the Supreme Elder, the elders, the 2,600 clans of the human race, and the two ruling systems consisted of the Human Emperor, the Hundred Officials, and the Nine Provinces officials. All the immortals and mortals of the entire human race were mobilized at once.

The Supreme Elder leads the elders and governs all the immortals of the human race through the 260 clans. All the immortals of the human race are included in this system, without any omission.

Under the leadership of the Human Emperor, all officials of Taihao City command the local officials of Jiuzhou and are in charge of all human beings in the world who have not yet become immortals. They are led one level at a time, and even though there are a large number of mortal humans, they can still be mobilized quickly.

Large channels were dug to bring the water from the underground to the four seas.

When the entire human race, hundreds of millions of immortals, and countless mortals launch an attack at the same time, the explosive power is extremely terrifying.

After March, the first batch of canals were connected.

At this time, in the center of the cave, the source of the flood.

There was still a huge amount of water gushing out of the underground cave, but it was held back by the six quasi-saints: Jiang Haofeng, Xuandu, Nüba, Zhisheng, Cangjie and Suiren.

As the first batch of canals were dug, huge amounts of water poured into the canals and flowed towards the four seas.

In an instant, everyone's pressure was greatly reduced!

The entire human race worked hard for one thing, and in eight months, all the planned canals were connected, and dense water flowed along the canals to the four seas.

Even though the underground cave is still constantly swallowing up water, there is no need for people to hold it up now. The water swallowed up by the underground cave will be directly led into the canal.

At this point, the flood that originally took humans more than eight years to control has now been controlled by humans in just eight months.

The huge disaster that seemed enough to devastate the entire human race was easily broken by the concerted efforts of the human race.

Another five years passed, and the ground gushed out the last wave of water, which then disappeared into the void, leaving a bottomless pit on the earth. Then, the pit was filled with water, forming a lake with a radius of billions of miles!
At this point, the flood problem facing the human race has been completely eradicated!

At the same time, the vast power of merit between heaven and earth surged, turning into a huge pillar of merit light that fell down. When the pillar of merit light fell, it turned into golden light all over the sky like flowers scattered by a fairy, and merged into the human race below.

Basically, every human being can share a bit of Heaven's merit.

As for the biggest one among them, it naturally fell to Jiang Haofeng, who proposed the method of water control.

Jiang Haofeng waved his hand and took away the merits that fell from the sky. To Jiang Haofeng, these merits were dispensable and would not affect the overall situation.

In an instant, the flood was completely stopped, merits were bestowed upon us by heaven, and the entire human race was instantly immersed in joy.

It is worth mentioning that during this period of flood control, Emperor Yao of the human race noticed Shun's talent and abdicated the throne to Shun, who then took charge of all matters major and minor of the human race.

At this point, the human race arrived at the time of Emperor Shun, but unlike before, this time the Human Emperor had not yet ascended, and Emperor Yao was still watching Emperor Shun and assisting him in handling government affairs.

Several years after Shun came to power, Emperor Yao heard the call of Taoist Taiqing in his mind, and then ascended to the Huoyun Cave, becoming the sixth semi-saint of the human race!

As Emperor Yao ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave and absorbed one-eighth of the Hongmeng purple energy again, the eleventh-grade purple lotus in the unknown void dropped one grade again and became a tenth-grade purple lotus. However, the color of this tenth-grade purple lotus was much deeper than that of an ordinary tenth-grade purple lotus.

Taihao City, on the viewing platform.

Jiang Haofeng looked at Yu in the crowd with complicated eyes. At this time, everyone's attention was on the new appointee Wang Shun, and basically no one paid attention to Dayu.

The story of Dayu who controlled the flood and passed by his home three times without entering, which has been passed down through the ages, is now completely gone.

In this life, there is no Dayu to control floods, and a large part of Dayu’s achievements in becoming the emperor of men have also been cut off.

Not knowing whether Dayu’s merits were enough to make him the Emperor of Man, Wanxiang Taoist, who had to take away Dayu’s merits, sighed in his heart.

To be honest, Jiang Haofeng did not want to use his knowledge from the future to invent various things, so as to improve his own merits and accumulate merits.

Firstly, Jiang Haofeng has no shortage of merits. Secondly, many things need to be accumulated. If one directly skips the accumulation process, it is easy to develop poorly.

Therefore, Jiang Haofeng seldom interferes with the development of the human race, but the issue of flood control is of great importance and must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the human race will suffer great losses.

A gleam of light flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes. The eight Human Emperors were destined by Heaven. This was a matter between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man. Not only did the human race want to give birth to eight Human Emperors, but Heaven also needed the human race to give birth to eight Human Emperors to sit in the Fire Cloud Cave, suppress the destiny of the human race, and maintain the relationship between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man.

If my guess is correct, Dayu should have new merits in the future, making him one of the eight destined emperors of the human race!
