Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 60 Primordial Gods and All Living Beings

"The waters of the world have their own natural flow, and the tides change naturally. It is inappropriate and against the natural order for the gods to interfere or control them."

Qi calmly expressed his attitude, stating that he could no longer allow Fuxi to interfere with the natural evolution of Yunmengze.

"Then you have the heart to watch as the primordial world turns into a swamp, turning a blind eye to the suffering of all living beings!"

"Was their tragic fate my fault? Wasn't it caused by your reckless actions and manipulation of the world?"

Qi's words interrupted Fuxi's excited emotions.

"When have the gods ever cast their gaze upon mortal beings? Are you truly acting for the sake of those primordial creatures?"

"Isn't this just self-degradation, already controlling the destiny of heaven and earth, yet still attempting to meddle in the fate of all living beings?"

"Is this the 'Way' you seek, where the environment becomes stagnant and no longer changes?"

"Is a future without change truly what all beings desire? When we co-evolved the world, didn't you learn anything from it?"

"Or do you not think there's anything wrong with this, but just think it's good for everyone, and then watch all living beings die in the same unchanging way?"

"We are blinded by the increase brought about by the growth of fortune, but as innate deities, we do not actually lack the time for this increase to decrease."

"Fuxi, you are too hasty and too arrogant. The influence on heaven and earth and all things is not achieved through this method."

"This is a shortcut, but it's the beginning of going astray."

Qi calmly reminded Fuxi that he had taken the wrong path.

Qi believes that if one wants to receive the blessings of all beings, one should establish one's own organization and gather strength through action.

If the gods ensure that changes in the water system are under their control by leading all living beings to alter the terrain, build rivers, reservoirs, dams, and other means, then Qi would not have any such thoughts.

But they did not. Instead, they chose to exploit the power that Heaven and Earth had given them, colluding with each other and exchanging resources and power to accomplish their goals.

Were those projects difficult for people with divine powers to complete?

It wasn't difficult, and it could have been accomplished without divine power, yet they chose to interfere with the workings of heaven and earth by seizing power.

Seeing that Fuxi had not yet reacted, Qi could only remind him:

"The water gods who govern the water system are responsible for the creatures living in their water system."

"There is a lack of awareness of potential dangers even in times of peace, and no effort is made to calculate tides, changes in water vapor, and to learn from past experiences."

"If you can't adapt to local conditions, change with the times, and follow the trends of nature, then give up your living space to those who can adapt."

"Originally, those creatures were able to adapt very well, and through the accumulation of experience and learning from nature, they could change the living environment of their species."

"But the gods' unauthorized interference, which seems to be helping them, is actually destroying their future."

"Don't use the survival of the people as an excuse for everything. Living beings don't need the interference of the gods; they can live just fine on their own."

"Survival of the fittest."

"Heaven and earth nurtured the innate divine beings, bestowing upon them authority and power that transcends the mundane world, not so that they might interfere with the workings of heaven and earth."

"The purpose of exercising power is to maintain the balance of heaven and earth, and to prevent all living beings from developing wildly and destroying the natural world, not to use power for personal gain!"

"The role of the innate deities in relation to all living beings is merely to prevent them from going astray and gaining short-term development by destroying heaven and earth."

"This is the only effect that the innate divine can have on all living beings, and it is nothing more than this, nothing more than this."

"There's no need for excessive control. As long as it's not too much, we shouldn't interfere with their lives."

"The innate deities play a significant role in the universe and are an indispensable part of its operation, but they are not actually important to living beings."

"As for affecting the entire prehistoric continent, it's not that serious. Those gods are not dead yet; they can still manipulate water vapor and regulate floods."

"After all, they have to fill the hole they dug themselves; they dare not let the flood run rampant."

"When the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man are in balance, and humanity is in disorder, their lives will not be easy."

After finishing speaking, Qi no longer cared what Fuxi thought, and turned to leave.

Fuxi stood there, stunned.

Taiyi, Nuwa, and Dijun exchanged bewildered glances. They hadn't expected Qi's words to be so weighty and direct.

In fact, from the perspective of Di Jun and Tai Yi, Qi's behavior was not serious, and was even quite reasonable.

If they were the protagonists, they would not tolerate others manipulating the movement of stars, especially a vital star like the Sun.

Let alone bringing it up and taking action, you can't even think about it, because thinking about it is illegal!

Nuwa did not have such authority, so she did not particularly understand what such behavior was, nor did she realize how serious the consequences would be.

Di Jun and Tai Yi are star gods and do not understand the operation mode of the primordial water system. After all, they are star gods and primordial water gods.

For them, suppressing the movement of the sun star was a necessary task, otherwise the enormous fire poison would damage the operation of heaven and earth.

This is the fundamental reason why they didn't stop it: firstly, they were persuaded, and secondly, their job responsibilities were different.

Taiyi was aware of this event, but it was through his understanding of Qi, rather than his understanding of the role of the Primordial Gods.

Di Jun never even considered that such a thing would happen, because in his view, it was normal for gods to exercise their authority.

Even now, they still have to return to the Sun Star from time to time to suppress its activity and prevent it from moving too frequently and affecting the operation of heaven and earth.

The water gods, whose prayers were answered, stopped before even leaving their own waterways to prepare for the arrival of the flood and to dredge the creatures living within the waterways.

Some areas that have suffered severe water loss have begun to change course, seeking water from the four seas or the four rivers and eight streams.

Even if they wanted to find Qi, there wouldn't be any free time in the short term; they have a mountain of debts to settle right now.

The changes in the primordial water and air also affected the entire primordial water transport, alarming the Ancestral Dragon who was in seclusion.

With a glint of light in his eyes, the Ancestral Dragon was constantly observing the entire primordial waterway, trying to figure out where the changes had occurred that were directly affecting him.

In the vast and chaotic ancient water system, there are only a few places that can affect him, and the cause can be found with a simple investigation.

A place that can simultaneously change the four rivers and eight streams of the East and the three waters of the West.

The First Emperor raised his head and looked at the water system nodes composed of countless huge lakes in the giant map that covered the entire world.

Yunmeng Marsh!

"Sigh, I'll have to go through with it eventually."

After speaking, the First Emperor closed his eyes.

He knew he had to make this trip, but not now; he needed to wait for the water gods to arrive.
