Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 64 The Gods Arrive at the Dragon Palace and Pray for Great Treasures

Since Hongjun had decided to solve the water problem for the Dragon Clan, he did not stay in the Dragon Palace any longer.

After learning about the water vapor needed by the dragons, they left the East Sea and headed towards the place where the Four Rivers Water Gods resided.

The first stop was the place of Hebo Bingyi. When Hongjun arrived, Bingyi was still transporting water vapor, and he underestimated the impact of this event.

He originally thought that one Yuanhui would be enough, but he didn't expect the rivers to change course so much that now it's been three Yuanhui and he's still busy.

The original river channel is still in use, but new river channels have appeared, and due to changes in the terrain, many of its tributaries have developed new tributaries.

Those things also need water vapor to maintain, and we dare not easily reduce the water vapor flow, which has led to his current situation of being constantly busy.

He simply doesn't have time to calculate which river channels are the new tributaries that should appear, and which river channels are only temporary and don't need to be maintained.

Even some former tributaries, whether they are still in their original locations or in new river channels, he also needs to consider the creatures he might encounter during the evacuation process.

All these things were intertwined, leaving him with no energy to untangle this tangled mess.

If he were to solve it alone, he felt it would probably take at least three cycles, and during that time he would not allow any excess moisture to enter the four seas.

He must prioritize the safety of the Yellow River basin, otherwise he might not be able to escape during the next great calamity.

It wasn't until she saw Hongjun arrive and heard that he could offer help that Bingyi felt hope for liberation.

Under the calculations of the Hongjun Creation Jade Disc, the entire Yellow River basin was sorted out in just ten thousand years, and all that remained was to proceed step by step.

Bingyi was extremely grateful and readily agreed to Hongjun's request, releasing the water back into the sea.

Sensing the re-entry of the Yellow River's water vapor into the sea, the First Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to look forward to the water vapor from the other major rivers to come.

After Hongjun finished sorting out the Yellow River, he rushed to the Yangtze River. Within about 50,000 years, Hongjun had sorted out the entire water system of the four major rivers.

Then they turned west to regulate the three waters.

With previous experience, even though avoiding Rahu caused some delays, it was still much faster than when we were in the East.

Finally, before the end of this Yuanhui, all the problems of the four seas and the atmosphere were resolved, and the long-awaited fragment of the Creation Jade Disc held by the Dragon Clan was obtained.

Hongjun turned around and realized that he was almost entirely responsible for cleaning up the mess caused by the Water God this time, and couldn't help but sigh:

"How come those water gods have lost so much power in such a short time, and even caused such a disaster?"

Hongjun was momentarily stunned by his own words of lamentation and began to calculate the reason.

A moment later, he cursed:

"They reaped what they sowed, they deserve it! As local deities, they coveted the fortunes of humanity, yet they abandoned the essential for the trivial, resorting to trickery and deceit, and now they expect me, an old Taoist, to clean up their mess!"

He summoned auspicious clouds, and Hongjun rode them back to Yujing Mountain, closing the mountain gates and refusing to see any outsiders.

These water gods actually set their sights on him, wanting him to go to Yunmengze with them. With a powerful heretical god present, they hoped to prevent Qi from being verbally abused too harshly.

Based on Hongjun's understanding of Qi, if he were to go, he would probably lose all face as a top-tier deity.

Some water gods who made this plan arrived at Yujing Mountain, only to find that they could not find the mountain gate and had to return disappointed.

Inside the Dragon Palace, most of the water gods from the eastern and western continents of the primordial world had gathered, and more than five hundred innate deities took their seats one after another.

Their only goal was to determine who would take primary responsibility for this incident and who would be responsible for resolving the remaining issues.

This sudden and drastic change in the primordial water system requires someone to make decisions and redefine the water areas.

Each of these tasks is extremely important, and it is also necessary to collect the tidal changes of Yunmengze again, or to send someone to find Qiyao.

Of course, they would never ask Qi for data, since most water gods don't have that ability or the status is not high enough.

Secondly, those who ask for it will lose face the most, as they are, after all, born with divine status, and some are unwilling to lower themselves to do so.

Fortunately, they each had a favorite person to embarrass themselves in their hearts.

The First Emperor looked grim, as did the water gods of the Four Rivers and Three Streams.

No matter what, they must take responsibility for this, otherwise morale will be low and the team will be difficult to manage.

Furthermore, it is necessary to decide how to gather the fortunes of all living beings in the world in the future.

Asking them to give up is already impossible. Having enjoyed the benefits of the convergence of the masses' fortunes, asking them to let go is harder than climbing to heaven.

Qi was also waiting, waiting for the water gods to come to his door. While the water gods were dealing with the floods, heaven and earth led him to a treasure.

For him, it was a treasure that, although only a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, might even be more useful than the innate twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus.

A superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Water-Controlling and God-Subduing Staff.

Holding this divine staff allows one to oversee the management of all waters under heaven. Those who control waters in accordance with the principles of the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, and Man) will not be tainted by cause and effect, nor will they bear any karmic burdens.

Those who hold the power of the Earth God and Water Official feel superior to others, and if they are wrong, they can be reprimanded without consequence; if they are wrong, they can be punished with a beating without reprimand.

In other words, as long as Qi possesses the Water Control and Divine Subjugation Staff, he will be half a rank higher than all the water gods in the world.

Attacking them can enhance divine power, and can also reduce their divine power to a certain extent.

If their control over water and air is not in accordance with the principles of the Three Powers, then hitting them will not cause any karmic consequences, and even killing them will not incur any karmic burden.

Even if they are not at fault, but simply neglect the management and care of the water system, it is perfectly reasonable to criticize them.

If mistakes are made in the management of the waters, no matter how small, and the consequences result in killing them, Qi will not bear any responsibility.

However, this effect only applies to the water god. For other living beings, it is just an ordinary high-grade innate spiritual treasure, and its power is even somewhat weaker.

But if used properly, merit is as easy as picking it up from the ground.

With this magical treasure, Qi can now truly call himself the number one water god in the world. Even if he met the Ancestral Dragon, Qi would still be half a level higher than him in terms of divine authority.

Of course, even with the Water-Controlling and Divine-Subduing Staff, Qi is still no match for the Ancestral Dragon; he's just a little more powerful in terms of authority.

If those water gods still dare to use their power to control the fate of all living beings, then I truly admire their courage.

Qi didn't really care whether they used it or not, because as long as Yunmengze didn't cause any problems, it wouldn't spread the disaster to the point of affecting the entire prehistoric world.

Qi couldn't understand what had gotten into them that they would try to influence Yunmengze, especially when he wasn't around, and try to fool a god who was in charge of divine authority.

PS: That's all for today's update. I was mainly working overtime and attending meetings. I finished work at 7:30 PM and had just finished writing 1000 words of the second chapter. Then I had another two hours of meetings until 10:30 PM. Sorry about that.

As is customary, I'm asking for votes and support!
