Chapter 428 Have You Ever Seen a Dragon?

In the past, Du Yi wouldn't have been quite sure how to set up the pollution, since he knew nothing about how to use many powers and was most used to relying on brute force to create miracles.

However, now that he has received the power of the Four Gods, Du Yi has begun to understand this knowledge. After all, the Four Gods of the Star Sea are masters of spreading pollution. In fact, it can be said that a large part of their power comes from this so-called pollution.

Of course, in the eyes of the Four Star Gods, this is not pollution; they only feel that they are fulfilling their will and thus covering a wider area with their will.

Simply put, it means making everything dance to one's own will.

"But you can't do this on your own."

This wasn't Du Yi's own summary, but rather the way the power of the Four Star Gods was used.

According to the understanding of the Four Gods of the Star Sea, relying solely on themselves, the influence they can spread is ultimately limited. No matter how powerful they are, only a small area around them will be affected.

Therefore, while spreading their influence, the Four Star Gods also attracted a large audience.

Those audience members are not only believers of the Four Star Gods, but also nodes through which the Four Star Gods spread their influence. As long as these believers are spread out, their voices will soon be heard everywhere.

"Just like when I talked to those long-eared elves about peace before..."

Connecting this to his own past actions, Du Yi vaguely understood.

"So, if I want to control this water, I also need to tame some of it?"

That doesn't seem to be the case. At least within the power system of the Four Star Gods, such a method of use would be too rigid.

The so-called nodes don't necessarily have to be of the same race; the main thing is whether the other party is loyal enough and capable of doing the work.

Apart from that, nothing else matters.

Just like the Four Star Gods themselves, their followers span various races and come in all sorts of strange and unusual forms.

"If you look at it this way..."

Following the power of the Four Star Gods, Du Yi simply came up with another idea.

First, Du Yi brought over some polluted river water, which was the main ingredient. Then, he took out some of his own blood, which was the catalyst. In order to successfully shape the object, he also found the Seed of Creation and specially dug up a pile of wood shavings.

This material is good enough, but for Du Yi, he still needs four more who are willing to listen to him.

Who would listen to him?

There were people all over Tahrir who were willing to listen to him.

Just as Du Yi expressed that he had a difficult task at hand, people in Tahriris City began to sign up enthusiastically. They all felt that since they had been under the protection of Pope Godwood I for so long, they should do something if their father needed them.

Even if it means sacrificing one's own life.

"Oh, no, that's not the case."

Upon hearing that the four shortlisted candidates actually thought this way, Du Yi shook his head repeatedly.

"You won't die, but we'll give you something in return... to make your bodies more functional. You know what I mean?"

The four chosen people looked at each other, all somewhat bewildered.

What does it mean to make the body work better? Aren't their bodies working well right now?
But soon they understood what the Pope's father was talking about. Because four clay sculptures had already appeared before them.

The four imposing clay sculptures exuded an incomparably powerful aura. Although they were clay and wood sculptures, their sharp claws, powerful long tails, and imposing presence made everyone tremble.

"What's this?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"This is a dragon."

Du Yi provided an answer.

When it comes to flood control, Du Yi's first thought is naturally the posture of a dragon. However, the posture is not the key. The key is the clay and wood sculpture itself.

In the clay and wood sculptures, apart from the crucial polluted river water, all other materials came from him and the Seed of Creation.

After activating these four mud and wood sculptures, whoever can lead this internal war can assimilate the polluted water sources and even completely integrate them into the body.

And this is the beginning that Du Yi wanted.

Using the partially conquered polluted water sources as a medium, these four dragons can then control other water sources. And as they continue to conquer in this way, sooner or later these four dragons will bring all water sources under their control.

The Four Dragon Kings might be a bit rustic, but if they were truly useful, Du Yi wouldn't refuse them.

When the four Tahririans learned that they were to be transformed into such ferocious beasts, they did not refuse.

After all, they weren't really dead; they had just turned into dragons. And according to the Pope's father, even if they turned into dragons, they could still turn back into humans once they achieved sufficient cultivation.

In other words, they didn't actually lose anything; they just gained power for free. How could they possibly refuse?
"We'll change!"

With excitement, the four Tahrir men decisively climbed up the ladder and into the heads of the four mud and wood dragon statues.

That's where the brain is located, and also their storage space. There, they will shed their mortal bodies and merge with this dragon beast.

After the four men were in position, Du Yi began his actions.

First, there was the activation from the god of life, and then the assimilation from the god of desire. With these two forces working together, the four dragons, which were originally just clay and wood sculptures, actually came to life, and their scales began to radiate the glow of life.

Then came the enlightenment from the god of wisdom and the encouragement from the god of courage, which made the four dragons start to move, and their eyes began to gleam with the light of wisdom.

Then comes the most crucial part.

That was Du Yi's own blood, symbolizing a contract. It would give these four dragons power and also guarantee their loyalty as blood descendants, ensuring they would not betray them.

After going through the whole process, Du Yi thought he had it all figured out, since the four clay and wooden dragon sculptures had actually come to life, something he had initially thought wouldn't work.

But immediately, the four dragons began to struggle.

An unexpected thing happened: wings sprouted from the backs of the four dragons, wings that Du Yi had never made before, or even wings, but four wings—and before Du Yi's eyes, the original four dragons had split into eight dragons.

The eight dragons were tearing at each other, and judging from their fierce struggle, it seemed as if only one could survive.
