Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 36 Dividing the Northern Lands, the Dragon Clan's Scheme

"The northern continent is divided in this way: the northern water system belongs to the Dragon Clan, the land belongs to the Qilin Clan, and the Phoenix Clan rules the sky."

Zu Long proposed a rather unique way of classifying things, so unique that Yuan Feng found it abstract.

"As far as the Phoenix Clan is concerned, do you think the void of the sky is worth our desperate fight?"

Yuan Feng was so angry at these words that she laughed.

The sky was empty, which meant they were expected to work for them just by using a title.

"Listen to me, though the sky is clear, it is not empty. There are clouds and rosy hues that provide shelter for the Phoenix Clan."

"Moreover, the trees on the high mountains are of no use to anyone but you, so they will naturally belong to the Phoenix Clan."

"You are well aware of the vastness of the Northern Continent. Although the sky is broad and sparse, it encompasses the entire Northern Continent."

"Only by dividing the three races in this way can they take over a portion of the Northern Fortune, and not just the Fortune of the Ferocious Beast Race."

"You are all surely aware of the workings of the universe, so I need not elaborate."

"We divide it this way: apart from the famous mountains and rivers in the north that can nurture the innate sacredness, the destiny of heaven and earth will belong to us."

"Only by dividing them in this way can the three races reap relatively fairly in terms of fortune."

At this point in Zu Long's words, Yuan Feng fell silent, pondering the key points.

This method of division has indeed provided the Phoenix Clan with significant compensation in terms of fortune.

However, correspondingly, the actual benefits in reality are much less, leaving only high mountains and trees as a place to live.

He needs to carefully consider the relative importance of each option, whether to choose half of the destiny of the entire northern land or the practical benefits in reality.

After all, both are important.

Zu Qilin smiled silently to the side. This method of division was advantageous to him, since the northern lands were vast and the gains were tangible.

In terms of the balance of celestial and terrestrial fortunes, although water and some land fortunes were lost, the harvest was still very high.

Unlike the Phoenix Clan, they gained more tangible benefits while reducing their share of the Heavenly Fortune.

Whether Yuan Feng agrees or not, it won't have much impact on him.

The Dragon Clan, in terms of the fortunes of heaven and earth, does not reap as much as the Phoenix Clan, and in terms of actual benefits, it does not reap as much as the Qilin Clan.

However, it is relatively balanced, and when combined, it is quite substantial, even yielding the most and most complete results.

Seeing that Yuan Feng was still thinking, Zu Long reminded her:

"Since the three races are divided in this way, the work of restoring the northern land after the war will naturally be the responsibility of each of the three races."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng's expression softened slightly, indicating that if the division were done in this way, the price they would have to pay to restore the world would be much lower.

In contrast, Zu Qilin's expression was somewhat somber, as repairing the earth's veins was extremely exhausting.

Given the strength of the Qilin Clan, it's likely that for countless future eras, most of their power will be drawn into the Northern Continent.

Otherwise, the long harvest period would leave them with nothing.

Fortunately, the Qilin clan is extremely skilled in harnessing the power of the earth, making them adept at repairing ley lines.

This can save a lot of time and resources, so it's not unbearable.

In this way, the gains of the three races are basically equal.

With this in mind, Yuan Fengzu Qilin expressed his agreement to this division method.

The dragon race, on the other hand, became the biggest winner in this great calamity of ferocious beasts.

The two races were simply unaware of this.

"Chieftain, are you sure the waterways of the Northern Continent can connect with the four seas? We haven't even been able to connect with our own native Eastern Continent."

Qinglong had some questions.

"Don't worry, even if we fail, our dragon race won't suffer any losses, as long as we can completely open up the passage between the northern water system and the waters of the four seas."

"At that time, with the waterways connected, the water vapor from the four seas will enter the north, and its water transport will surely be successfully linked with the four seas."

"Once this system of water and air circulation stabilizes, the northern lands will become the backyard of my dragon clan, which can come and go as it pleases."

"At the same time, as long as there are no problems with the northern water system, this system can also be promoted in the east. The water gods of the four rivers and eight streams will no longer be able to refuse the water energy of the four seas."

"As long as the water vapor can successfully enter the four rivers and eight streams, then the connection of the water veins will not be far off."

"After this battle, the fortune of my dragon race will surely flourish and grow rapidly. I do not believe they can resist the temptation to connect the waterways and share the fortune of the dragon race."

"At that time, without expending a single soldier, all the water transport in the world will be in the hands of my dragon clan!"

As he spoke these words, the ambition in Zu Long's eyes burned like a raging fire, and his domineering and confident aura made people want to submit.

This also influences the younger generation of the dragon race, who are domineering and confident, which is the first impression the dragon race gives to the outside world.

"I will certainly help my brother fulfill the dragon clan's wish!"

The Azure Dragon's voice, filled with adoration, also echoed the Ancestral Dragon's goal.

At this moment, the dragon race was united and full of vitality.

"Good! After this battle, the polluted water sources in the north can be discharged directly into the sea, and then water vapor can be transferred from the sea to make up for the deficiencies in the north."

"The four seas inherently possess the power to purify heaven and earth. The water polluted by ferocious beasts is but a drop in the ocean to the four seas."

"This will also increase the attraction to the gods of the four rivers and eight streams."

"As long as they are willing to connect with the world, then they will have no choice but to board the dragon chariot."

"Whenever my dragon clan is in danger, they will definitely take action. After all, the waterways of the four seas and the fortune of my dragon clan are not so easy to enjoy."

"This applies to everything in the world. If you receive benefits, don't claim innocence. If you enjoy the convenience that power brings, you must bear responsibilities greater than those rights."

These words were not only a scheme against the water gods of the various water systems, but also a reminder to Qinglong and his companions.

"Understood, elder brother."

Qinglong indicated that he understood.

Seeing this, Zu Long continued:

"After the war, I will send members of my clan to serve as Dragon Lords in the northern water system, in charge of the rivers."

"You must constantly remind them not to abuse their power and not to forget their responsibilities while collecting resources."

"In all things, we must prioritize the heavens and the earth and all living beings around us; we must not act recklessly in the creation of clouds and rain."

"The Water Conservancy Classic must be thoroughly studied and applied properly. Do not regard it as useless knowledge; it is the true treasure of my dragon race."

"With it, no matter what the outcome may be, at least our dragon race will not be broken."

"This is the experience your sister-in-law accumulated at the risk of being reprimanded by the three emperors."

"This is also the reason why the Three Emperors punished her."

At this point, Zu Long fell silent.

Seeing that Qinglong nodded, having fully taken these words to heart, Zulong clapped his hands and said, "Good."

In fact, the First Emperor had no resentment towards the Three Sovereigns for punishing the Dragon Mother, because the appearance of the Water Conservancy Classic already indicated what the Dragon Mother had done.

The Water Conservancy Classic records the effects of rainmaking on various floods and droughts, as well as the amount of rainfall and its impact on the world.

He even thanked the Three Sovereigns for their benevolence, for considering the Water Conservancy Sutra, and for not letting the Dragon Mother completely lose hope of rebirth.

If by some stroke of luck, their true spirit remains in the world, and given the opportunity, they may return.
