Chapter 98 The Grand Master of Destiny Confers Titles on the Gods (55)

The process by which Li Boyang and Chiyu met was actually much simpler than Xiluo had imagined.

Since the decision was made to build a reservoir covering all the waterways within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Li Boyang had been searching for a location that perfectly met his requirements.

To be honest, there weren't many locations that perfectly met Li Boyang's requirements, but there were none at all.

Even in the 21st century, with its highly advanced exploration and engineering technologies, finding a similar location would be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, this is a world where extraordinary powers exist, an era where divine power can influence celestial phenomena.

Relying on his keen perception of the earth's veins, and the magical enhancement of his ability to summon clouds and rain...

Li Boyang eventually spent almost half a year creating a location that perfectly met his requirements.

This is the current location of the Shanshen Reservoir.

During this process, many aquatic creatures were inevitably affected by the changes in water flow—the human-faced fish being one of them.

When Li Boyang first encountered the Red Carp, it was just an ordinary human-faced fish.

At most, they are just a bit larger and more resilient than their counterparts.

When most people see fish migrating due to changes in water veins.

The red carp, however, lingered in the muddy water because of its gluttony, until Li Boyang noticed its presence.

[It was my oversight; I didn't expect the lasting impact of the changing water veins to be so significant...]

As Li Boyang pulled the red carp out of the muddy water, this sentence became her first impression of the red-haired boy.

For a considerable period of time afterward.

Li Boyang always kept Chiru by his side, teaching her how to identify water veins and recognize natural enemies.

The human-faced fish is already a highly intelligent species, and with the help of the rhinoceros horn...

The red carp quickly demonstrated an amazing learning ability.

First, they learned human language and knowledge in a very short time.

Then, under Li Boyang's tutelage, he discovered his own potential and officially transformed into a spirit.

In particular, Li Boyang's "Amphibian Creatures Test Version: Life Energy Regulation Breathing Method," which he specifically modified for the Red Carp, allowed her to quickly acquire an even more outrageous and enormous size than ordinary spirits.

Li Boyang also expressed surprise at this.

But he quickly realized that the red carp itself had the potential to become a spirit, which was completely different from Li Jingshu, an ordinary child who could even be described as malnourished.

This was confirmed after the Red Carp sensed the vital energy of the water veins and took the initiative to help Li Boyang protect the reservoir.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"So, you've raised another spirit?"

I'm too lazy to bother with Li Boyang's complicated naming of the "breathing method".

Xi Luo simply observed the red carp lurking underwater, looking as if it were "very shy."

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a timid and cowardly human-faced fish could have almost destroyed the entire reservoir.

"But... this guy is clearly a water god, isn't he?"

The leap from spirit to water god is quite significant.

Even someone as gifted as Panhu has yet to gain the recognition of any ley line.

In contrast, this human-faced fish, which had only transformed into a spirit less than two years ago, became the true "god of the reservoir".

"This leads to another idea of ​​mine..."

Li Boyang did not hide anything from this and spoke frankly about it.

"Actually, I've been thinking about how mountain gods and water gods like you gain the approval of the primordial energy."

"After ordinary creatures transform into spirits and monsters, how can they further transform towards becoming gods?"

"Is it a reconstruction of the body? A sublimation of the soul? Or simply a pure and unwavering belief?" "Or some kind of special change that I haven't yet observed?"

Li Boyang paused slightly at this point.

"Until I noticed that with the construction of the reservoir, a completely new waterway was gradually born from nothing..."

"All organisms living near this waterway exhibited a peculiar phenomenon of 'convergent evolution' at the same time."

"Whether it's fish or snakes, they are all evolving towards gigantism and becoming predators, which obviously cannot be explained by common sense."

I tried hard to understand the words in Li Boyang's words.

As a result, Xi Luo sadly discovered that she couldn't keep up with the other person's train of thought at all.

"Don't give me that nonsense, you know I've always hated that kind of thing..."

"Skip all the process and analysis, just tell me your conclusion!"

When Xi Luo interrupted his story, Li Boyang's voice faltered, and a sense of helplessness towards "illiterate" was revealed in his eyes.

Simply put, our understanding and definition of 'life' is too narrow.

"Perhaps 'Yuanqi' is also a kind of life in another sense, and even this world may be alive."

"This newly formed water vein needs a guardian, so it is working hard to assimilate all the living beings nearby, trying to select the most superior guardian from among them..."

"This is a screening process."

"Since it's a selection process, then a customized approach is also possible, right?"

"The Red Carp is the guardian I specially created for this newly formed water vein after summarizing all the circumstances of it."

"When the only spirit near the water vein that meets its requirements is the Red Carp, what choice will this water vein make?"

"As you have seen, a new water god was born."

Li Boyang shrugged slightly and continued to add.

"Of course, I wasn't sure before that the Red Carp would become a water god..."

“When Chi Yu decided to leave the reservoir for the winter last year, I didn’t even know she would come back here.”

As he said this, Li Boyang did not forget to cast his gaze at the red carp underwater.

After noticing Li Boyang's gaze.

The red carp instinctively swung its tail, and a blush, similar to that of a young girl, appeared on its face.

“Siming has given me a second chance at life, and I want to repay his kindness.”

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo nodded in realization, but her gaze kept shifting between Li Boyang and Chi Yu.

"By the way, why do you call this doll 'Si Ming'?"

Does this word have any special meaning?

Upon hearing Xi Luo's question, Li Boyang also showed curiosity.

“In the ‘Jingchu Kingdom’ where I was born, there is a legend that a supreme being who could confer titles upon deities was born. The people of Jingchu Kingdom respectfully call Him ‘Da Siming’.”

“Since the God of Fate has transformed me into the water god of this area, isn’t that ‘God of Fate’?”
