Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 81 Borrowing Water Vapor, the Origin of the Sky (Now Available, Please Subscribe)

"Gathering all the water in the world to flood an immortal volcano?!"

Everyone was astonished.

Qi was also considering the feasibility of this matter and its subsequent impact.

"How much water vapor has been borrowed so far? How will it be repaid? With so much water vapor entering the immortal volcano, how will the resulting fog from the clash between water and fire be dealt with?"

"Where will the waters from the various water gods enter the immortal volcano, and what impact will they have on the creatures along the way? Have sufficient preparations been made?"

Faced with Qi's deadly interrogation, Yuan Feng paused for a moment, then began to organize her thoughts:

"Fellow Daoist, please allow me to explain slowly. Most of the Eastern Water Gods have already agreed to borrow water energy. Once it is confirmed, we will begin to discuss the waterways through which the water energy will travel."

"The waters of the world will flow back into the immortal volcano. According to the calculations of the great god Hongjun, this should generate a large amount of clouds. These clouds will be held back by Buzhou Mountain and several other high mountains, and then form a new world in the primordial sky."

"As the Heavenly Dao is about to emerge, I, the humble Daoist, also refer to this world as the Heavenly Realm, which is a fitting name for the occasion."

Hongjun also laughed from the side.

Upon hearing this, Qi looked up but didn't say anything, simply waiting for the explanation of the remaining questions.

"As for repayment, the Phoenix Clan will settle the matter with fire crystals. By then, the forest fire will have subsided, and those fire crystals can naturally be mined again."

"Those large quantities of high-quality fire crystals are enough to pay for this water vapor. With the water vapor borrowed so far, there is still some shortfall, about 700,000 strands."

"I hope you can lend a hand to relieve the Phoenix Clan of this trouble and remove a calamity from the primordial world."

Yuan Feng raised her hand to bow, but Qi stopped her, helping her up and saying:

"Since Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng has performed such a meritorious act, I will naturally not be the villain. There isn't much left, so I will make up for it with these 700,000 strands of water vapor."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Feng and Hong Jun were both somewhat surprised. Having traveled through the prehistoric world for many years, they knew firsthand how difficult it was for these water vapors to be obtained.

Unexpectedly, Qi was able to replenish the remaining 700,000 strands of water vapor all by himself.

They had previously visited many water gods, and apart from the four seas, they had only collected a little over a million strands of water vapor, which was all obtained by the two of them.

It took a lot of face, and the accumulation of a thousand, a few thousand, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of yuan, little by little, is still uncertain whether things will change in the end.

Qi noticed their confusion and explained:

"Although they are all earth deities, there are many differences between water gods because their water attributes are different, and the water vapor they can retain is also very different."

"Those river gods, whose waters are constantly flowing, must ensure that the remaining water vapor supports their tributaries while maintaining a continuous flow, so naturally there is not much excess water vapor."

"Lakes and marshes are different. Their waters have less flow and are naturally responsible for storing water and preventing floods, so they can retain more water vapor."

"As the largest water storage and flood discharge area in the primordial world, Yunmeng Marsh naturally has a larger amount of water vapor that I can utilize."

The Yunmeng Marsh is vast and boundless, containing hundreds of millions of lakes. Although many of them are not actually very large, it can be said to have the largest freshwater reserves in the prehistoric world.

Yuan Feng and Hong Jun then understood, since they were not Earth Deities and were somewhat unaware of this.

"In any case, Yuan Feng thanks Fellow Daoist Qi in advance. I will go and discuss with them first to determine the water system in the inland waters of the prehistoric world and the passageways for water vapor, and then I will inform Fellow Daoist Qi."

"This matter is of utmost importance, and Yuanfeng cannot stay any longer, so I must take my leave now."

Yuan Feng took his leave first, as he needed to contact many water gods and also study how this water vapor could enter the southern continent.

Moreover, Yuanhuang has not yet awakened, and he is also worried about the Phoenix Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng, please make yourselves at home. I also need to prepare for the preliminary work of the water vapor transfer so that this great undertaking can be completed as soon as possible."

Qi didn't care whether Yuan Feng stayed or left; Hong Jun and the others' arrival had added a lot of work for him.

Upon seeing this, Hongjun laughed loudly and said:

"good!"

"Now that this matter is settled, I should return to Yujing Mountain to devote myself to cultivation for a while. In recent years, I have become quite lax, so I will not disturb you any longer."

"Until we meet again, this humble Taoist takes his leave."

Hongjun clasped his hands in greeting, then summoned auspicious cloud, which slowly flew towards the direction of Yujing Mountain.

Qi and Yuanfeng bowed and saw them off.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, Yuan Feng takes her leave."

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Feng also transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.

Taiyi, seeing that Qi had returned to the pond pavilion and invited them to play chess, couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Weren't you preparing for the water and gas transfer? How come you still have time to play with us?"

Qi rolled her eyes at Taiyi and said:

"Yuanfeng will take care of those things. As for the water vapor, it will be placed in the water eye. Yunmeng Marsh doesn't usually have much fluctuation, so there's no need to prepare anything."

"I'm just too lazy to entertain them anymore. Every time they come, it's never anything good. Since the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts, not one of them has come for cultivation, visiting friends, or discussing the Dao."

"They all need help cleaning up their messes. I don't know why, but it seems like the innate saints have forgotten their duties."

"Now, where is there any trace of innate divinity? All their actions and thoughts are nothing but petty and despicable schemes."

"What they are after is nothing more than the fate of all living beings, dreaming of dominating the primordial world."

Qi's voice carried a hint of anger at their lack of ambition, for as a primordial deity, they had completely forgotten the responsibilities they bore.

Fuxi heard Qi's words and seemed to have grasped some important information, but he still didn't understand what that information was.

He fell into deep thought, standing alone to the side. This phenomenon only started after the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts ended, which meant that something with a huge impact must have happened during the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts.

Fuxi recalled something, but he wasn't sure if the effects had started after that incident.

Taiyi didn't have any reaction to Qi's words; he thought it was quite normal, and said:

"With such strength, it's normal for such ambition to arise. After all, with the blessing of destiny, it's probably only natural to unify the prehistoric world and attain the Primordial Chaos Realm in one fell swoop."

"It would be strange if someone with such strength and a thriving race didn't have the ambition to dominate the primordial world."

Taiyi found it quite reasonable, which was also Qi's predicament. However, what he couldn't understand was why these innate deities seemed to have become so restless.

They no longer seemed to possess their usual composure and confidence.

Even though they are still at the pinnacle of the primordial world and occupy the vast majority of the world's fortune, the emergence of the Heavenly Dao will not affect them.

Fuxi suddenly stepped forward with a somewhat solemn expression and said:

"I have some guesses about what Qi said, but I don't know if that's the reason."
