Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 51 Yang Mei's Advice

Di Jun and Qi finally saw Fuxi emerge from the pass, and also met an unexpected person.

A willow branch drooped down from the sky, and Yang Mei stepped out from it. He was somewhat surprised to see that Nuwa and Taiyi were not there.

Qi, Fuxi, and Dijun quickly raised their hands in greeting and said:

"I've met the great master Yangmei."

After raising his eyebrows in return, he asked directly:

"What about the other two?"

The three were somewhat surprised, so Qi could only step forward to explain:

"Nuwa and Taiyi are still in seclusion at their respective temples. I wonder what business the great goddess has with them?"

He raised his eyebrows and gave Qi a strange look.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you two to break up."

"It's quite a strange thing that you managed to steal away those two perfect couples."

"I don't know what kind of magic you have that made Di Jun and Fu Xi abandon their Daoist partners and run to you."

Upon hearing Yang Mei's words, Fu Xi and Di Jun displayed different expressions, while Qi Ze seemed somewhat embarrassed.

Yang Mei also sensed something was amiss. He had just emerged from seclusion and was feeling bored, so he thought of Qi and came here.

Yang Mei's expression also became unusual.

For a moment, the four of them fell silent. After a long while, Yang Mei waved his hand and said:

"I'm too lazy to think about it, let's just have a feast."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere among the three became much more normal.

Yang Mei didn't speak again until the banquet was over.

"Young Qi, the First Emperor should have come to see you, about the interconnection of the four seas."

"It is true, but I was in seclusion at the time and did not meet with you. Fellow Daoist Zulong left, leaving behind only a jade slip explaining the key points."

Pray for a return.

He had thought about it carefully. The interconnected water veins and the exchange of water vapor would be a good thing for both the primordial world and the Yunmeng Marsh.

But there was only one thing that made Qi hesitate: once the water veins were connected and the water and air were exchanged, the water transport of both sides would be bound together.

The Dragon Clan and the Four Seas are almost synonymous; the fortunes of the Dragon Clan and the fortunes of the Four Seas are intertwined far too deeply.

Just like Qi and Yunmengze, the water transport of Yunmengze is also related to Qi's fortune. They are interconnected, and any fluctuation in one will affect the other.

Qi could not accept this; he was unwilling to be swept up by fate and join the dragon race's war machine.

In any case, Yunmengze holds a unique position in the prehistoric world, serving as a flood discharge area and reservoir for the eastern and western continents.

As long as it exists on these two continents, no large water system can escape the influence of Yunmengze.

Although the world is vast, it is too far from the inland. Even if floods can reach all four seas, the waterways required are not ordinary.

Moreover, the journey would take too long and the distance too far, affecting too many regions and living beings. No one would be willing to bear the consequences of any mistakes.

The reason those water gods are willing to connect with the four seas is simply because there are many benefits: it can increase the source of water vapor, reduce the pressure and mundane affairs of purifying water bodies, and it's also an extra layer of insurance.

After all, not all water systems are like Yunmengze, which has no shortage of water sources and outstanding purification capabilities.

As for mundane matters such as rainfall, Qi has never intervened. Although there have been droughts and floods, the creatures of Yunmeng Marsh can still bear them.

Some calamities are actually beneficial to the overall development of life in Yunmengze.

Qi's view on natural disasters is simpler: survival of the fittest.

He will protect Yunmengze from external harm, but if he cannot adapt to changes in the environment, then destruction will be the norm.

In Qi's view, being bound to the four seas was an external influence, and the reason for his hesitation.

The sudden improvement in water transport will bring many benefits, but the impact will also be directly reflected in the real world.

"Kid, I advise you not to be swayed by short-term gains. The waters of the three races run deep, and getting involved will cause a lot of trouble."

He raised his eyebrows and spoke with a slightly stronger tone.

He didn't want to see his promising juniors dragged into a new round of calamity, especially before they had grown up.

Moreover, once you get involved in a great era, it's hard to get out. Now, the three races are powerful and influence all affairs of the prehistoric world.

These matters are troublesome, but they also represent a terrible weapon: power.

The movement of power is the most terrifying force in the world; even wise rulers like the Three Sovereigns could sometimes become addicted to it.

What terrifies these seekers of the Way most is becoming so engrossed in it without realizing it, and even finding it sweet.

He worried that Qi would eventually go down that path, after all, once he joined the Four Seas Shipping, given Yunmengze's status, power would come to him on its own.

"I will remember the great god's teachings. I was already hesitant about whether to join, but with the great god's reminder, I will naturally refuse."

Qi thought Yangmei had foreseen the conflict between the three races and didn't want him to get involved in the tribulation, but he didn't know Yangmei's true intentions.

"Well, now that you've said so, I'm relieved. You've only been in this world for a short time and haven't accumulated enough experience yet; it's not time for you to enter the world."

"The world has changed so much that even I can't see it clearly anymore. You five little ones are all good prospects for Shinto, so don't be too impatient."

"But you guys aren't exactly innocent either, you're all restless types, let's see how long you can hold a grudge."

With a raised eyebrow and the words left his lips, he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, gave a casual bow, and then slowly disappeared.

A faint voice echoed from the sky:

"My dear friends, I hope we meet again someday."

A willow branch with a green edge disappeared into the space without the slightest ripple, vanishing from the three people's sight.

"The Great God Yangmei is truly a free spirit, able to come and go as he pleases in this vast world."

Di Jun sighed.

"Yes, I wonder when we will be able to feel the ease with which this is done. This method is truly astonishing."

Fuxi also joined the group of people expressing their amazement.

Qi did not agree with them; he was thinking about the First Emperor.

I still remember when the Dragon Clan became the leader of the scaled creatures and opened the Dragon Gate, the Ancestral Dragon had already surpassed the Heavenly Venerable God and reached a new realm.

However, this realm is not the Primordial Chaos Realm; it is stuck between the Heavenly Venerable God and the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Unfortunately, I couldn't truly experience this power; I could only rely on guesswork to create a similar model.

After all, the Primordial Chaos Realm is not easy to attain, and at this moment, the world gave Qi the feeling that he should run away.

This feeling arose out of nowhere, but Qi had complete faith in his intuition: the Great Dao was about to break free from the primordial chaos.

This absurd idea made Qi unable to laugh. He felt that Yang Mei's visit was also for this reason, which made him somewhat uneasy.

If the Great Way does not exist, is there still a path for the divine?

After all, compared to the paths of immortals and demons, the path of gods has too many advantages and is too perfect.

It is so perfect that it has no weaknesses except for the fact that it takes a long time to develop.

P.S.: There's one more picture that might be a little later. I've been working overtime for too long and I'm so tired that I have no ideas.

But I'll definitely finish two chapters a day; I'm off to work on writing.
