Primordial Era: Something's Wrong with This Generation of Witch Clan

Chapter 83 Yu the Great Tames the Floods and Arranges a Marriage with Tushan

"I can't stay here any longer, I have to find another place quickly! Otherwise it will be dangerous. 👣🔥 🐍♡" the red-bottomed macaque muttered to itself, and then began to break free of the seal.

These seals were originally placed on oneself, so breaking free from them isn't difficult, it just takes a little time.

When the Red-Bottomed Macaque broke free of the seal and walked out of the Dragon-Locking Well, it saw three women looking at it with smiles on their faces.

"You're hiding quite well! We've been here at least three times, and we still haven't found you." Bixiao looked at the red-bottomed macaque with a provocative expression.

"How did you find me?" The red-bottomed macaque looked at the Three Immortals with a wary expression.

Judging from their conversation, they simply don't have the ability to find themselves; someone else must be the one who found them.

"Want to know? Beat us and we'll tell you." Bixiao said with a smile, then charged towards the red-bottomed macaque first.

When the Red-Bottomed Macaque saw Bixiao rushing over, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. Although he was timid, it did not mean that he was weak. Although the Three Immortals were quasi-saints, it seemed that none of them were not quasi-saints.

When Bixiao attacked, the Red-Bottomed Macaque had his hands behind his back and moved with ease amidst Bixiao's attacks. Every step he took was just enough to dodge Bixiao's attacks, and every step was calculated perfectly.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes. This Red-Bottomed Macaque's strength was not to be underestimated; Bixiao alone was no match for him.

"Let's go. Master's instructions are for the three of us to beat him up," Yunxiao said.

The two then joined the battle, and under the siege of three quasi-saints, even the powerful Red-Bottomed Macaque could not withstand the onslaught.

A dozen or so breaths later, the Red-Bottomed Monkey was beaten into a pig's head by the Three Immortals.

"Remember this, we are the Three Immortals of the Human Sect, disciples of the Holy Master! If you want revenge, come find us anytime." After the fight, Bixiao said this in a very domineering way.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao would never say such shameful things, so only Bixiao could say them.

"You guys came looking for me just to beat me up?" The red-bottomed macaque was a little confused.

"That's right!" Bixiao nodded.

"Three fairies, do you know me?" the red-bottomed macaque asked.

"I don't know him."

"Have I offended you before?"

"No, this is our first time meeting." Qiongxiao shook her head.

"Then why did you hit me?" The red-bottomed macaque was even more confused.

"I don't know, but I can't disobey my master's orders." Yunxiao gave a bitter smile, then left with Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

After seeing the Three Immortals leave, the Red-Bottomed Macaque was filled with anger, but he had no idea how to vent it.

"Human Teachings, what a Human Teachings! I'd like to see what this Human Teachings is all about," the Red-Bottomed Macaque said coldly.

While the Red-Bottomed Macaque was investigating the Human Sect, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao had already returned to Shouyang Mountain.

"Master, we have completed the mission," Bixiao said with a smile.

"Yes, very good!" Pan Huang nodded.

"Master, why do you want us to beat up that red-bottomed macaque?" Qiongxiao asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out when the time comes," Pan Huang said with a smile.

On the human side, the timeline has reached the era of Emperor Yao. During Emperor Yao's reign, he governed the human race in accordance with the decrees of Shao Hao and Zhuanxu, and did not incorporate his own ideas in the early stages.

In the later stages, Emperor Yao combined some of his theories and ideas with those of Shao Hao and Zhuanxu, ultimately forming the current theories and foundations of the human race, which provided assistance for the development of the human race.

During Emperor Yao's reign, no major events occurred among the human race. With the Three Sovereigns as a foundation, the administration during the Five Emperors period was quite convenient.

However, in the later years of Emperor Yao's reign, a sudden flood struck the human race, causing disaster to the entire human race.

"What's going on? Why is there a flood in my human territory?" Emperor Yao asked Ao Guang.

"My lord, this flood is suspicious. I suspect it was man-made," Ao Guang said.

After receiving support from the dragons, the human race enjoyed favorable weather and abundant harvests, and such a disaster would never have occurred.

But now this flood came suddenly and strangely, and its source is unknown. Clearly, someone wants to disrupt the peace of the human race.

"Can this water cure the disease?" Emperor Yao asked Ao Guang.

"I don't know! I can only do my best. In the end, it will probably be the humans who will be able to control this flood," Ao Guang said, offering his guess.

If humanity wants to become the protagonist of heaven and earth, it must go through hardships. In Ao Guang's view, this flood is probably humanity's last calamity. If they can overcome it, humanity's position as the protagonist of heaven and earth will be secure. If they cannot overcome it, it will probably take some time for humanity to become the protagonist of heaven and earth.

"Alright! You do your best to control the floods, and I will also look for talented people among the human race who can control the floods." Emperor Yao nodded.

Emperor Yao then issued a widespread call for talent (it probably wasn't called that at the time, but it was probably similar), hoping to find someone capable of controlling the floods.

Soon, Gun answered the call and was appointed by Emperor Yao as an official in charge of flood control.

After taking office, Gun did not immediately begin flood control work, but instead led people to observe various flood-prone areas.

While Gun led his people to observe the flood-stricken areas, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas also began to take action to stabilize the flood!

They just need to hold out for a while, and the rest of the human race should take over.

A year later, Gun led his men to investigate the floods in various places and even created a flood map.

With the flood map, Gun became much more adept at managing floods. He used the strategy of blocking, which meant that as long as the floodwaters flowing through human areas were blocked, the floods could be eradicated.

His approach was indeed very successful, as the floods were resolved, Emperor Yao successfully attained enlightenment, and he passed the position of supreme ruler to Emperor Shun.

After Emperor Shun ascended the throne, he was still worried about the danger of floods. He always had an ominous feeling that the floods were only temporary.

As expected, his fears came true. In the third year after Emperor Shun ascended the throne, the flood came again. This time the flood was more ferocious than before, and the human race suffered even more casualties.

Gun was filled with disbelief upon seeing this scene. He had clearly used the Breath of Earth to block the flood! Why was this flood even more violent than before? He couldn't understand it.

Because of Gun's dereliction of duty, which caused heavy losses to the human race, Emperor Shun had no choice but to behead Gun to appease the people's anger.

After Gun died, his son Yu took over the task of controlling the floods. This was a mess left by his father, and he had to control the floods, otherwise he would be letting his father down.

"Go! This Yu the Great is your disciple. Help him control the floods, and you will also gain considerable merit." In the Holy Palace, Pan Huang said to the Three Immortals.

"Yes, Master!" The Three Immortals nodded.

"Take this with you and give it to Yu the Great. He will need it!" Pan Huang handed a jet-black hand axe to Yunxiao.

"Yes!" Yunxiao took the axe and nodded.

After arriving in Xuanyuan City, the Three Immortals found Yu the Great. Yu the Great knew them, and it should be said that all of humanity knew them, after all, they were the disciples of the Holy Master, and there were very few people who did not know them.

"You have a master-disciple relationship with us sisters. Would you be willing to become our disciples?" Yunxiao asked Da Yu with a smile.

"Disciple Dayu greets the three masters." Upon hearing Yunxiao's words, Dayu immediately knelt on the ground.

After becoming an apprentice of the Three Immortals, Yu the Great did not cultivate with the Three Immortals, because he still had heavy responsibilities. The human race was still suffering from the ravages of floods, and his primary task was to control the floods. Only then could he cultivate with the Three Immortals.

"This is what your master asked us to give you. He said you should be able to use it. Take it." Yunxiao handed the mountain-splitting axe to Dayu.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Grandmaster," Da Yu said gratefully.

During the process of controlling the floods, Yu did not immediately take action. Like Gun, he first inspected the area, but he did so based on Gun's flood control map and only went to the places Gun had visited.

While he was inspecting the various flood-affected areas, it was still the dragons who were helping the human race suppress the floods.

Yu the Great was very fast. In just six months, he had visited all the locations on the flood control map and then had a general plan for flood control in his mind.

Yu the Great's method of controlling the floods was not to block them. In his view, it was better to dredge than to block. Only by letting the floodwaters flow elsewhere could the flood problem be completely solved.

The best destination for floodwaters is the sea. After his investigation, he wrote and drew on the flood control map and finally determined a route to guide the floodwaters to the sea.

After determining the route, he led his men to begin flood control. First, the floodwaters had to be diverted, and then gradually flowed to the sea according to the route he had designed; otherwise, he would be in a complete mess.

The Three Immortals looked at Yu the Great controlling the floods and felt a sense of satisfaction. They saw Yu the Great's wisdom in the process of controlling the floods.

"The last of the Five Emperors should be Yu the Great," Yunxiao said.

"If it weren't for Yu the Great, Master probably wouldn't have let us come!" Qiongxiao said with a smile.

Indeed, the disciples of the Renjiao sect were mostly people from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. If Yu the Great had not been one of the Five Emperors, Pan Huang would never have allowed them to take on disciples.

In the third year of Yu the Great's flood control efforts, a woman came to his side.

"Yu, I want to be your woman," the woman said to Yu.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Da Yu asked the woman before him.

"I know what I'm saying. I'm saying I want to be your woman. Although our Tushan clan is a demon race, my clansmen and ancestors did not participate in the massacre of humans back then. We have always lived a peaceful life." Nüjiao said, looking at Dayu.

"Then why did you come looking for me?" Da Yu asked.

"Because you are the man destined for my daughter, Nüjiao," Nüjiao said loudly, looking at Dayu.

Yu the Great ignored Nü Jiao. In fact, he also had feelings for her, but he was now shouldering the heavy responsibility of flood control and had no time to think about personal matters.

Nüjiao sensed Da Yu's affection, but Da Yu did not reciprocate her feelings. Knowing Da Yu's current situation, Nüjiao did not force him but silently stayed by his side.

Because of the flood, some aquatic monsters hid in the floodwaters, causing havoc and killing humans as food.

After Nüjiao joined Yu the Great's side, she helped him defeat many evil demons. This was noticed by the people around Yu the Great, and their impression of Nüjiao began to change. At the same time, they also began to try to bring Yu the Great and Nüjiao together.

After Nüjiao stayed by Da Yu's side for a year, they held a wedding in Xuanyuan City. Nüjiao officially became Da Yu's wife, and the Tushan clan of Qingqiu successfully formed an alliance with the human race, becoming their ally.

After becoming Yu the Great's wife, Nüjiao no longer followed Yu the Great in controlling the floods, because Yu the Great now had a family, and she wanted to take care of this small family for him so that he could have something to worry about while he was controlling the floods.

In the first year after Yu the Great and Nü Jiao got married, Yu the Great was controlling the floods when he passed by his home and saw Nü Jiao, who was already pregnant. He looked at her across the river, and Nü Jiao's eyes were full of longing.

Even Yu the Great had feelings of longing in his eyes, but this was not the time for sentimentality. The floodwaters had not yet receded, and he could not go home.

In the third year of his marriage, Yu passed by his home for the second time. The river in front of his home had now become a ditch. If Yu could just cross the ditch, he could go home, but he did not do so.

"Father! Father!" Just as Yu was about to leave, he heard his child's voice.

"Wait for me, the flood will recede soon. I will come back when the flood recedes," Yu said softly to the woman.

"Mm!" Nüjiao nodded.

In the fifth year of their marriage, Yu passed by his home for the third time. By this time, his child had grown into a young man. Yu still did not return home. He told his daughter, "I will come back when the flood recedes."

Nüjiao still only uttered an "Mmm," which was an agreement between her and Dayu. When she married Dayu, she said that she would protect their little family for Dayu.

……

"Once we split this mountain in front of us, the entire route will be open. Then we just need to channel the floodwaters that were originally diverted into this route, and the floodwaters will flow into the sea." Looking at the towering mountain in front of him, Yu said in a deep voice.

Actually, this is not a mountain at all. It was a barrier made by Gun using the Breath Soil when he was controlling the floods. The Breath Soil would expand rapidly when it came into contact with water, and that's how the mountain we see today was formed.

After Da Yu finished speaking, he raised the axe in his hand and chopped down. But just as the axe was about to split the mountain in front of him, it was blocked by a gray-haired monkey that could walk upright.

But Yu the Great was used to it. After so many years of flood control, they had seen countless evil demons, and the monkey in front of them was just one of them.

"The aura of the Golden Core Path... Are you a disciple of the Human Sect?" The Red-Bottomed Macaque asked coldly upon seeing Yu the Great.

"Hmph! I am a disciple of the Holy Master. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave, or I'll make sure your soul is scattered." When Yu the Great saw that the other party knew about the Human Sect, he immediately brought out the title of the Holy Master.

He has used this method many times over the years in flood control, and it works most of the time, after all, the reputation of Panhuang the Human Teacher and Panhuang the Ancestral Witch is still very high.

"The Human Sect, the Holy Teacher, this is the Human Sect that I have been looking for." When the Red-Bottomed Macaque heard Yu the Great say this, the scene of being humiliated by the Three Immortals immediately appeared in his mind.

With a wave of his hand, a towering wave surged toward Yu the Great and his companions, seemingly intent on annihilating them all.

In reality, the Red-Bottomed Macaque never intended to kill Yu the Great and the others. He understood Yin and Yang, knew human affairs, was skilled in entering and exiting, and was adept at avoiding death and prolonging life. Naturally, he knew that Pan Huang was not someone to be trifled with. He stopped Yu the Great simply to vent his anger at being beaten up by the Three Immortals.
