This is so dishonest!

Epilogue to Chapter 531: Yu the Great Tames the Floods, But the Waters of Time...

After the eighty-one lights of creation were extinguished, an unprecedented and magnificent era slowly began in the land of the origin of the Great Dao.

This era was revered by later generations as the "Age of the Gods".

Eighty-one vast and boundless main universes, like eighty-one radiant eternal fruits of the Dao, float in the center of the chaotic sea.

They are independent of each other, yet they are closely linked together by chains of laws invisible to the naked eye.

At the highest point of the eighty-one main universes, the Great Luo Heaven, which carried all the seeds of civilization in the old era, has been transformed into the eternal temple of the new era.

All the gods and sages, regardless of which universe they reside in, can reach the Great Luo Heaven in an instant by virtue of their own Dao imprint.

They established the "Great Luo Council" here to discuss and decide on major matters that would affect the course of the entire Age of Gods.

This is an unprecedented golden age, where anything is possible and opportunities abound.

However, beneath this prosperous scene, a shadow that stretches across the entire universe has never truly dissipated.

That is the long river of time and space in the new era.

Although the Time Demon God had been killed by the supreme power of Pangu, He was, after all, a true and eternal ruler.

His immortal spirit and eternal fruit of the Way were not completely annihilated, but were transformed once again into the cornerstone of the flow of time in the new era.

The eighty-one wills of Pangu, like eighty-one unshakeable divine mountains, suppress the main body of the river of time and space.

But the resentment and shattered eternal imprint of the Time Demon God were like a peerless ferocious beast imprisoned, which would roar angrily from time to time.

This roar transformed into a torrent of time that swept across the heavens.

The first era of the Age of Gods began with great difficulty amidst the ever-flowing waters of time.

When the main current of the river of time begins to roar, the surging waters of time will break through the banks and flow back into the countless tributaries that connect all the heavens and myriad worlds.

In some worlds, time is accelerated infinitely, and billions of years of changes can be experienced in an instant, with civilizations turning to dust before they are even born.

In some worlds, time is forcibly reversed, yesterday's scenes reappear, heroic epics are erased, and newborn babies are returned to the womb.

Even worse, the three timelines of past, present, and future are forcibly distorted and intertwined, transforming into an indescribable monster that devours the world itself.

Faced with this terrifying calamity sweeping across the world, an ancient deity from the human universe resolutely took on the heavy responsibility of "controlling the floods".

Its name is Gun.

Gun was a highly respected deity in the human universe. He witnessed the suffering of all living beings and felt compassion in his heart. Therefore, he made a vow to Emperor Shun, the common ruler of the human world.

What he adopted was a "containment strategy".

He believed that the root of the torrent of time lay in the undying resentment of the Time Demon God, and that as long as it was completely suppressed, all problems could be solved.

So Gun went to the Thirty-Three Heavens and borrowed the innate treasure "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" from the Goddess Nuwa.

This treasure can multiply infinitely, giving birth to all things, and has the power to isolate the Great Dao and seal off the universe.

Gun, wielding the Breath of Earth, built impregnable dikes along the banks of the river of time and space, attempting to forcibly sever the connection between the main stream and its tributaries.

He wanted to completely bind all the power of the Time Demon God within the mainstream of the River of Time.

Subsequently, he summoned the gods of the human universe, as well as other powerful beings from other universes who volunteered to help, to prepare to encircle and kill the trapped resentment.

However, Gun ultimately underestimated the power of an eternal lord.

Even if it was just an Eternal Lord who had been killed and whose main power had been suppressed by eighty-one Pangus.

As Gun's dam closed and the encirclement formation was activated, a roar that shook the ages erupted from the mainstream of the river of time.

"roll!!"

A silver sword light shot up from the depths of the long river, a deadly sword formed from the purest resentment of time.

Wherever the sword light passed, the dike formed from the Nine Heavens Breath Soil was instantly cleaved open, as if it were made of paper.

The surging torrent of time, with unprecedented ferocity, crashed fiercely towards the nearest human universe.

Gun's several encirclement plans all failed completely due to the counterattack of the demon god at this moment.

This final failure came at a particularly heavy price, nearly annihilating the entire human universe.

The endless turbulent flow of time transformed into a ferocious behemoth, tearing apart the crystal wall of the human universe, threatening to devour billions of living beings there.

At this critical moment, Emperor Shun, the ruler of humanity, intervened in time.

Holding the sword of time imbued with the aura of eternity, he merged with the universe, transforming into a divine being with double pupils, and fought against that behemoth of time for three days and three nights.

Finally, after paying a considerable price, they managed to kill the behemoth and plug the gap in the universe.

After this battle, although the Human Universe was preserved, it was severely damaged and became the first of the eighty-one main universes to be nearly wiped out.

Gun witnessed his hard work go to waste and almost caused a catastrophe, which dealt an unprecedented blow to his Daoist heart.

Unable to face Emperor Shun and all living beings, he chose to exile himself to Mount Yu, a desolate place on the edge of the human universe, where he imprisoned himself.

Before his departure, he left one last sentence for Emperor Shun, who had come to see him off.

"My Lord, entrust the great task of controlling the floods to Wenming. This child can complete the work I have not finished!"

Wenming, whose full name is Si Wenming.

He also had a more resounding title: Yu.

Emperor Shun watched Gun's dejected figure disappear into the distance, sighed deeply, then turned around and his gaze fell on the tall, resolute young man.

He knew that this war, which concerned the safety of the Age of Gods, was far from over.

Therefore, Emperor Shun appointed Yu to oversee all matters related to flood control across the land.

Yu knelt down to accept the order. He had learned from his father's failure and already had a completely new strategy in mind.

He believes that it is better to guide than to block.

"The centipede is dead but not stiff!"

In the council hall of the human universe, Yu shared his views with the gods.

"Although the Time Demon God is dead, his eternal imprint has merged into the river of time and space. It is almost an impossible task for us to completely nail His coffin lid to the mainstream!"

"Instead of doing that, we should do the opposite and actively guide His violent resentment and power to the various time branches, and then divide and conquer them one by one!"

Yu's words resonated deeply, causing all the gods present to fall into deep thought.

"This method is ingenious, but it is extremely risky."

A deity dressed in black robes, with a solemn face and an aura of impartiality, spoke. He was Gao Yao, Yu's capable assistant and the god of justice in the human universe.

"The major sub-currents are ultimately much more fragile than the mainstream."

"If we allow the consciousness and power of the Time Demon God to invade the tributaries, the slightest carelessness could cause an irreparable disaster to all the heavens and myriad worlds!"

"That's right!"

Yu nodded frankly, acknowledging the risks involved.

"Therefore, before implementing this plan, we must have a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the entire timeline of time and space."

"We need to know which tributaries are like broad rivers, capable of bearing the power of time; and which tributaries are mere trickles that must be guarded against and must not be allowed to be polluted in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, another deity in the hall, dressed in hemp robes, with a gentle aura and surrounded by the essence of grains, chimed in, "In that case, we'll have to ask the Time and Space Administration for help."

He is Houji, the god of grain.

"However, in the last siege battle organized by the old man, Director Zhulong of the Time and Space Administration was severely injured while covering our retreat. I don't know if he has recovered yet."

"It should be alright, anyway, this isn't the first time Fellow Daoist Zhulong has been seriously injured."

Bo Yi, another assistant of Yu who was in charge of taming all the beasts, smiled and said upon hearing this.

"Before the old master's great cause of flood control, Director Zhulong led a new generation of management bureau members to engage in several life-and-death battles with the resentment of the Time Demon God."

"When have I not been beaten half to death every time, yet I'm still alive and well, aren't I?"

Although Boyi's words were somewhat rambling, they did ease the tense atmosphere in the hall considerably.

Upon hearing this, Yu smiled slightly.

"Then we can only trouble Fellow Daoist Zhulong to use his profound skills again!"

~~~~
At the summit of Zhongshan Mountain lies the realm of Zhulong.

"What? Gun's son has inherited his unfinished work and is preparing to take over the flood control?" Deep within a palace forged from time crystals, Zhulong, who had just awakened from his slumber, showed a hint of surprise upon hearing his subordinate's report.

His pale yet heroic face still bore a trace of lingering fatigue.

"Yes, Director!" The one reporting to Zhulong was a burly deity with a face like a heavy drum.

He is the current Inspector of the Heavens of the Administration Bureau, and also the son of Zhulong, Gu.

Looking at her father's weak appearance, Gu's eyes flashed with worry. She continued, "Now, Yu is waiting in the reception hall of the Administration Bureau with his assistants. Do you... want to see him?"

"See me! Why not see me?" Upon hearing this, Zhulong suddenly sat up straight on the bed.

He took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth:

"At worst, I'll risk my life and fight that old bastard Shichen for another eight hundred rounds!"

To be honest, Zhulong felt like he had the worst luck imaginable.

As the new era began, he took over the position of Director of the Time and Space Administration Bureau with great ambition.

The challenge he faced on his first day on the job was to suppress the resentment of an "Eternal Lord".

At that moment, Zhulong felt like dying!

However, as a chaotic god and demon who had already made a name for himself in the old era, Zhulong had his own pride and professional ethics, and he did not shirk his responsibilities. Instead, he took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of suppressing the Time Demon God.

He firmly believes that as long as they can win this protracted and arduous battle and achieve results that will shake the heavens, they will succeed.

At that time, even if I can't steal the complete Eternal Dao Fruit from the Time Demon God, I can at least stand out in the first era of the Gods' Era and become the brightest star in the Great Luo Council!

It was with this belief that Zhulong led the new generation of Bureau members through life-and-death situations, risking their lives to nail the coffin lid of the Time Demon God shut.

Unfortunately, the resentment of the Eternal Lord is not so easily extinguished.

Zhulong worked tirelessly, like a firefighter, rushing to suppress any torrent of time that appeared.

He could only reduce the influence of the Time Demon God on the real universe to a certain extent, far from completely eliminating it.

"Let's go and meet this new human hero."

Zhulong slowly rose to his feet. With a thought, the slightly oversized healing robe he was wearing instantly transformed into a well-tailored uniform for a bureau chief, embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, and time gear totems.

His slightly weak aura was completely concealed at this moment.

Instead, it possesses a majestic and imposing aura that commands respect without anger.

He stretched out his slender fingers and gently pushed them into the void in front of him.

A portal to spacetime, composed of countless time runes, opened silently and slowly.

~~~~~
The reception hall of the Time and Space Administration.

This place is completely different from any temple that Yu had imagined.

There are no carved beams and painted rafters here, no golden statues of gods.

The entire hall seems to be constructed from pure light and shadow.

Above the dome are magnificent microcosms of eighty-one main universes, which, like giant galactic vortexes, slowly rotate and exude their own unique aura of the Great Dao.

Beneath your feet is an almost transparent crystal floor, beneath which flows the ceaseless river of time and space, with countless tributaries like silver veins, stretching to the unknown distance.

The walls of the main hall are inlaid with countless enormous time gears.

They rotated slowly with a mysterious rhythm.

With each rotation, a massive flow of information cascades down like a waterfall, merging into the floor of the main hall and transforming into ever-changing Dao runes.

Yu could sense that this was the place in the entire Age of Gods where the concept of "time" was understood most profoundly.

Throughout the entire administration, countless time-space patrol officers in uniform were busily moving about in the hall.

Their figures are sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, as if they are walking in different dimensions of time.

Just as Da Yu and his group were admiring the interior of the Administration Bureau, a portal to another dimension quietly opened before them.

A majestic deity, dressed in a dark black uniform, with an ancient face and eyes that seemed to hold the alternation of the sun and moon, slowly walked out from the door.

His aura was as deep as an abyss, as if it carried the weight of countless ages. Just by standing there, he made the flow of time around him seem to freeze.

This person was none other than Zhulong.

Zhulong's gaze swept over Yu and his group. Without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point and asked, "You say you have a way to guide the resentment of the Time Demon God and disperse it throughout the River of Time?"

His voice was deep and hoarse, with a metallic quality.

"You must understand that although Time has gone mad, it is not mentally challenged. Every action it takes contains the most instinctive application of the Great Dao of Time, and it will never act according to our wishes easily."

Facing this legendary ruler of time and space, Yu the Great remained neither humble nor arrogant, but instead revealed a mysterious smile on his face.

"Who says the Time Demon God can't be mentally challenged?"

"I've heard that Laozi of the Tushita Palace once refined a wondrous substance called the 'Intellectual Disability Pill' in the previous era!"

Upon hearing this, even Zhulong's eternally unchanging expression showed a subtle change.

"You...you actually dared to ask that Laozi for elixirs?!"

His tone carried a hint of disbelief and astonishment, as if Yu had made a suggestion even more insane than confronting the Time God.

The previous era held too many secrets, which were buried with the end of that era.

However, as the first director of the Time and Space Administration Bureau in this era, Zhulong, who held the power over time, happened to know many unknown secrets.

For example, the seemingly harmless Laozi, who spends his days refining elixirs, is actually a terrifying being from the old era named Taiwei [Jingyao Ziqi Shangzun].

As for the pills that exist, it's best to avoid taking them if possible.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Laozi's elixir?" Da Yu keenly noticed the change in Zhulong's expression and asked curiously.

"That's not there."

Zhulong pondered for a moment, seemingly choosing his words carefully, and slowly said, "The pills of that Laozi... have always been extremely potent. If used properly, they can indeed produce miraculous effects."

"For example, the [Intellectual Disability Pill] you just mentioned, it is said that in the previous era, it successfully overturned the God of Wisdom who was in charge of the Great Way of Wisdom, causing that being known for his scheming to completely lose his wisdom."

"That's exactly the effect we wanted!" Hou Ji, standing beside Yu, clapped his hands and laughed as he heard this.

"Even the God of Wisdom couldn't withstand this elixir, so how could the God of Time possibly withstand its last remaining resentment?"

“That makes sense.” Upon hearing this, Zhulong nodded, feeling that the plan indeed had a great deal of room for maneuver.

"Then let's not delay any longer and set off for the Great Crimson Heaven Tushita Palace."

~~~~
The Great Crimson Heaven, the Tushita Palace.

When Laozi heard that Yu the Great was coming to ask for the elixir, he was so happy that he almost jumped off his prayer mat.

"Fellow Daoist, you certainly have a good eye for quality!"

He personally greeted Yu at the palace gate, took Yu's hand, and beamed with an incredibly warm smile.

"Products from our Tushita Palace are guaranteed to be of the highest quality!"

"Since I started refining pills, I have sold countless pills, yet I have never received a single negative review!"

Laozi warmly welcomed Yu the Great and his entourage into the palace and ordered his two attendants, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, to serve them the finest celestial tea and fruits.

Before Yu could even speak, the other person took out several purple-gold gourds and stuffed them into Yu's hands.

"Laojun, your elixirs are so precious, how can we accept them for nothing?" Upon seeing this, Da Yu and the others quickly stood up to decline.

Laozi laughed heartily and shoved the gourd back into his hands: "What's so precious about a few gourds of pills? Take them and use them!" "These are all good things. They are incredibly effective in healing injuries, restoring mana, and even boosting strength in a short time. You'll definitely find them useful in your battle against the Time Demon God's resentment!" Laozi's hospitality was too much for Da Yu to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept all the pills.

Before leaving, Laozi called him back and took out an iron rod that shimmered with five-colored light from his sleeve.

"This item is called the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron. It is a divine artifact used in the previous era to suppress the Ruins of the East Sea. You can take it; perhaps it will be useful when measuring the water veins of time."

As Yu held the divine iron, he felt an immense and powerful force emanating from it, and he was deeply moved.

He solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Laozi. "I will remember your great favor, Laozi."

"If I can successfully suppress the time in the future, I will definitely come to the Tushita Palace to report back to Laozi!"

Laozi chuckled, fanning himself with his banana leaf fan, and waved his hand, saying, "Don't talk about repaying or not repaying."

"Just remember to record in detail all the symptoms that occur after taking the pills, and give me a copy later."

Upon hearing this, Da Yu and the others seemed to have overlooked the word "symptoms" and readily agreed, patting their chests.

"It's a small matter, Lord Lao, don't worry!"

~~~~
After returning from the Tushita Palace, with the full support of Emperor Shun and Zhulong, Yu the Great officially began his great undertaking of flood control.

Holding the Divine Iron of the Sea-Stabilizing God, he traveled along the various tributaries of the River of Time and Space, using the divine iron as a ruler to measure the water veins, survey the terrain, and draw an unprecedented map of the waterways of time and space.

During this time, the strange beasts of time, formed from the resentment of the Time Demon God, would often rush out from the bottom of the river to harass them.

Fortunately, Yu the Great was well prepared.

No matter which timeline he went to, he always brought enough people with him, giving the Time Demon God no chance to take advantage.

After each slaying of such a powerful beast, Yu the Great would, according to plan, cleverly insert the poison of a "Mentally Deaf Pill" into the beast's corpse, and then sink it into the depths of the River of Time.

These corpses, tainted with poison, will soon be assimilated by the river of time and space, and absorbed as "nourishment" by the omnipresent resentment of the Time Demon God.

Over time, the effects began to appear.

The resentment of the Time Demon God has truly begun to become "idiotic".

His attacks are no longer so precise and ruthless, and his actions are no longer so unpredictable. He is more like a beast with only the instinct to destroy, which just rampages around in the river of time and space. Although he is powerful, his threat has been greatly reduced.

However, the side effects of the "Idiot Pill" soon followed.

Because the relationship between the Time Demon God and the River of Time is so close, the poison of the [Idiot Pill], after contaminating His resentment, indirectly polluted the entire River of Time, just like ink drops into water.

This has resulted in many beings in the myriad worlds, and even the highest deities, being unknowingly shrouded in a faint "halo of intellectual disability."

Some immortals, when refining the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, forget to add the most crucial ingredient, ultimately destroying their entire cave dwelling.

Some celestial generals, when leading their celestial soldiers and generals in battle against extraterrestrial demons, would suddenly forget their next battle plan and freeze in place.

Some mortal emperors, when receiving the homage of their court officials, would give a silly, unintelligible chuckle to everyone.

For a time, the entire multiverse was plunged into a subtle and bizarre chaos.

Throughout all the heavens and myriad realms, from the highest deities to the smallest mortals, all beings experienced a collective reduction in fat.

The terrifying effects of this elixir sent chills down even the Great Yu's spine.

"So that's what Zhulong's eyes meant?" Da Yu understood Zhulong's expression back then.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu intervened in time to save the day.

He took out the Dao Fruit of the God of Wisdom, dispersed its power, and spread it throughout the myriad realms, partially eliminating the halo of intellectual impairment that shrouded all living beings.

The reason it is only partially eliminated is because if it were completely eliminated, the Demon God would no longer be so foolish.

After clearing away most of the obstacles, Yu the Great's flood control efforts accelerated significantly. He successfully dredged nine major waterways, completely dispersing and purifying the power of the Time Demon God.

~~~~
In a timeline numbered "007".

As Yu the Great gazed at the colossal figure before him, which stirred up the winds and clouds across ten thousand miles and stirred up towering waves, his brows furrowed deeply.

"This... doesn't seem to be a strange beast formed from the resentment of the Time Demon God, does it?"

The behemoth resembled a giant white ape that stood tall and imposing. Its white head was adorned with golden eyes like two blazing suns, its azure body was as hard as divine iron, and its snow-white fangs were incredibly sharp.

Its long mane hung down from the top of its head to its back, dancing wildly in the wind. With each swing of its giant paw, it could draw upon the power of the entire tributary, unleashing a terrifying wave powerful enough to engulf any part of the real world.

It stands in the water, possesses immense strength, moves swiftly, and is surrounded by countless powerful time-space spirit beasts that come to worship and protect it.

Its power far surpassed that of any other Time Beast that Yu the Great had slain before.

"no!"

Zhulong, standing to the side, looked extremely solemn, his crimson dragon eyes filled with apprehension.

"This beast is named Wuzhiqi. It is a primordial god-demon that was naturally born from the origin of the water law at the beginning of chaos. It is a true god of vortexes and not a manifestation of resentment from time!"

This ancient god-demon possesses power far exceeding that of those mindless, time-traveling beasts.

"Since it's not a matter of time, let's spare its life."

Yu the Great waved his hand: "Capture them directly and suppress them on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Gao Yao, Hou Ji, Boyi, and other capable assistants, together with the elites of the Time and Space Administration under Zhulong, laid a trap and launched an earth-shattering battle against Wuzhiqi.

The great battle lasted for eighty-one days, until the entire tributary of time collapsed and the world was plunged into darkness.

In the end, Zhulong drew out the Time Chain, pierced through Wuzhiqi's collarbone, and captured him alive.

After capturing Wuzhiqi, the flood control project also achieved a decisive stage of success.

To celebrate the victory and plan the next step of completely suppressing the River of Time, Yu the Great summoned all the gods who had participated in flood control at Mount Kuaiji in the human universe, preparing to hold a grand summary meeting.

Upon receiving the order, all the gods from the heavens and myriad realms rushed to the scene.

In an instant, Mount Kuaiji was filled with divine light and Taoist charm.

However, at this crucial meeting, a giant deity named Fangfengshi arrived late.

Upon seeing this, Yu's face instantly darkened, and in front of all the gods, he issued a cold and ruthless order.

"Take Fangfeng out and execute him!"

Upon hearing this, the gods were greatly alarmed and rushed forward to dissuade him, arguing that although Fangfeng was late, his crime did not warrant death.

Yu the Great, however, had eyes as sharp as lightning, scanning the entire scene, and his voice resounded in the ears of every deity.

"Today, the great task of flood control is not yet complete; it is only a phase-by-phase summary meeting, yet he dares to disregard military orders and be late for the meeting!"

"Then tomorrow, if we engage in the final battle with the Time Demon God, he might dare to desert his post and shake our morale!"

"I don't even want to think about what he'll dare to do the day after tomorrow!"

His words were forceful and filled with murderous intent.

No god dared to plead for Fangfeng.

As Fangfengshi's enormous head fell to the ground, Yu the Great's prestige reached an unprecedented peak in the hearts of the gods.

Finally, in order to completely suppress the River of Time and Space and eliminate future troubles, Yu the Great made a momentous decision.

He personally crossed the cosmic barrier and went to the main god universe created by the Great God Zulong.

In that vast world filled with trials and reincarnations, he met the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons who held the "Great Way of Water," hoping that he could send his nine dragon sons to lend him a hand.

Emperor Zulong, grateful for Yu the Great's achievements in controlling the floods and benefiting all living beings, gladly agreed.

Thus, under the leadership of Yu the Great, using the original dragon energy of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon as a guide, the power of all the gods and deities of the heavens was gathered, and endless rare and precious materials were consumed.

Finally, they forged nine supreme artifacts capable of suppressing all ages and establishing the order of the universe.

These are the Nine Tripods.

~~~~
"Now that the divine artifact is complete and all the gods have gathered, let us fight this battle to quell the floods of the River of Time!"

Yu the Great stood before the Nine Tripods, dressed in a black imperial robe, his face resolute, his gaze sweeping over the assembled celestial deities before him, his voice loud yet steady.

"Today, we will use these nine cauldrons as an array to delve into the river of time and completely suppress the last wisp of resentment of the Demon God of this hour, eliminating any future troubles!"

"We are willing to follow the Emperor and fight this battle together!"

The gods, led by Zhulong, responded in unison, their divine power overwhelming and their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

With a command from Yu the Great, the nine giant cauldrons transformed into nine streams of light, tearing through the long wall of time and space, and rushing headlong into the turbulent, perilous main stream of time and space.

The gods followed closely behind, forming battle formations and marching mightily into the deepest recesses of time.

The main current of the river of time and space is far wider and more turbulent than any tributary.

Time flows at an extreme speed here, with billions of futures arising and ceasing in an instant, and powerful spacetime storms capable of tearing apart the divine bodies of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

However, everything changed after the Nine Cauldrons entered this place.

hum-

The nine cauldrons resounded together, emitting a Daoist sound that suppressed eternity. An invisible force spread out, forcibly calming down the raging flow of time and space.

The scrolls engraved on the Nine Cauldrons seemed to come alive at this moment, with the light and shadow of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and all living beings emerging, creating an absolutely stable sacred domain around the Nine Cauldrons.

"Roar--!!!"

Just then, a roar filled with endless resentment and madness came from the deepest part of the long river.

An enormous, pitch-black demonic shadow, formed from pure resentment of time, slowly emerged.

He has no fixed form; sometimes he transforms into a ferocious beast, sometimes into a demon god wielding the sword of time, and sometimes he scatters into countless grains of time.

He is the final aggregate of resentment from the Time Demon God!
Although he had been poisoned to the point of losing his mind by the "Mentally Deaf Pill," he still retained his deep-seated hatred for all living beings and his terrifying instinct to destroy the world.

"Formation!"

Da Yu's gaze sharpened, and he began to form hand seals.

The nine giant cauldrons instantly arranged themselves according to the nine palaces, and were connected to each other by the divine chains of the Great Dao, forming an unprecedented supreme array - the Nine Cauldrons World-Suppressing Array!
The moment the great formation was activated, space and time within billions of miles were completely sealed off and frozen!
The dark, shadowy figure seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, its movements becoming incredibly slow.

"Gods, help me!"

Yu the Great hurled the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Iron into the air. The divine iron transformed into a golden light and fell into the center of the great formation, becoming the supreme divine object that suppressed the formation's core.

Then, he opened his arms, and his whole being completely merged with the energy of the Nine Cauldrons World-Suppressing Array.

Upon seeing this, Zhulong unhesitatingly manifested his dragon body, which stretched for thousands of miles, and poured all of his immense power of spacetime origin into the great formation!

The other gods also poured their divine power into the nine giant cauldrons without reservation!
boom! ! !
The light of the Nine Cauldrons World-Suppressing Array reached its zenith at this moment!
Above the nine giant cauldrons, the illusory images of mountains, rivers, and myriad spirits seemed to transform into real entities.

They burst forth from the cauldron, carrying the supreme power to suppress and obliterate everything, and slowly pressed down on the aggregate of the demon god's resentment at that moment!
“Ouch——!!!”

The pitch-black shadow sensed an unprecedented and deadly crisis and let out a terrified roar.

"Si Wenming, you will never destroy me!"

He struggled frantically, manipulating the surrounding river of time and space, transforming it into blades of time powerful enough to sever cause and effect, and slashing wildly at the nine great cauldrons that were pressing down.

However, all this is in vain.

The Nine Cauldrons embody the power of almost all the top deities from the first era of the Gods.

Its sturdiness and weight far exceeded the limits that the remnant resentment of the Time Demon God could withstand.

The moment the blade of time struck the nine cauldrons, they melted away like ice and snow, obliterated by the power of the will of all living beings and the great power of the world contained within them.

Finally, amidst the unwilling roar of the dark demonic shadow, the Nine Cauldrons crashed down!

Boom! ! !
The resentment of the Time Demon God that had plagued countless years was gradually worn away and purified under the suppression of these nine worlds, eventually transforming into the purest source of time, which was reintegrated into the river of time and space, becoming part of the nourishment for the new era.

As the last wisp of black smoke dissipated.

The entire river of time and space has been completely restored to calm and clarity.

The flow of time has become more stable and orderly than ever before.

"Successful, finally successful!"

Zhulong was the first to cheer excitedly.

The thousands of members of the Time and Space Administration were so moved that they shed tears.

"That bastard has finally been suppressed!"

"Three hundred yuan! Three hundred yuan worth of overtime work, do you think it was easy for us?!"

Since its inception, the Time and Space Administration of this era has been fighting against the resentment of the time in order to maintain the order of time and space.

Only they themselves know the hardships they endured.

Now that the coffin lid of the Time Demon God has finally been nailed shut, how could they not be happy?

The gods of all the heavens and myriad realms breathed a sigh of relief.

They all clasped their hands in unison and praised:

"Emperor Yu's merits are immeasurable!"

In the Great Luo Heaven.

The group of powerful cultivators also laughed:

"Emperor Yu's merits are immeasurable!"

Endless streams of profound and primordial merit descended from the origin of the Great Dao, transforming into a vast and boundless golden sea of ​​merit that enveloped the river of time.

Yu the Great and all the gods who participated in the battle to control the floods received a blessing of good fortune.

Bathing in this golden sea of ​​merit, Yu the Great felt his primordial spirit, physical body, and Dao fruit undergoing an indescribable transformation.

Driven by this immense merit, his cultivation level instantly broke through the bottleneck and launched an assault on a higher realm!

"From this day forward, Yu will be the first emperor of the first era of the Gods, the Holy Emperor of Humanity!"

A grand and majestic voice came from the highest point of the Great Luo Heaven, as if it were the will of the entire era, crowning Yu the Great!

boom! !

A crown fell.

Immediately behind Yu the Great, a supreme human emperor appeared, wearing a flat-topped crown, a black dragon robe, holding a jade tablet, and standing on nine tripods.

With this unparalleled achievement, Yu the Great ascended to the heavens in one step and became the undisputed leader of the first era of the Gods!
Meanwhile, Zhulong, Gaotao, Houji, Boyi, and other meritorious officials who participated in flood control also made great progress in their cultivation under the baptism of their merits.

After this battle, the name of Yu the Great resounded throughout the eighty-one main universes.

The human universe also gained great prestige because of the birth of such a holy emperor whose achievements were unparalleled throughout the ages.

In the Great Luo Heaven, the Council of Gods convenes once again.

When Yu the Great, dressed in the imperial robes of a sage emperor, led a group of meritorious officials into this eternal hall.

All the deities present, regardless of their noble birth or powerful cultivation, spontaneously rose to pay the highest tribute to the young Holy Emperor who had quelled the flood of time.

The gods of humanity are in unparalleled glory at this moment!
The ancient emperors of the human world, such as Emperor Fuxi, Emperor Xuanyuan, and Emperor Shennong, all looked at Yu the Great, who stood in the center of the council and received the homage of all the gods, and their faces showed a smile of satisfaction and pride.

"I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person!" Emperor Shun laughed.

From this moment on, the glory of humanity will continue to be passed down by this newly born Holy Emperor.

This also means that in the Age of Gods, a new era belonging to Yu the Great and led by humanity has officially begun.
