Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 666: The Legacy Left by the Human Race’s Ancestors

When the King of Chu carried the shrine of Yunzhongjun and crossed the fog and stepped onto the Xiang River, the expression of Taiyi Liudi beside him became increasingly gloomy.

No matter whether they are the king or the princes, they all uphold the importance of humanity, therefore, they are unable to escape by using the techniques of immortality.

The only way to cross the Xiang River is to sail across it.

But in Liu Di's perception, the noise of the Taiyi fighting in the fog, as well as the aftermath of the fight, were slowly coming towards the Xiang River.

In just a moment, Liu Di knew the purpose of those Taiyi.

They wanted to assassinate the king of Chu - by taking advantage of the fighting to stir up the waves, and then bury the king of Chu in the mighty river.

Human civilization began with fire.

Unlike fire, water is a field that humans have not yet conquered.

In the conflict between water and fire, the existence of water has always been a nightmare for mankind. It is the source of life, but also the source of fear.

The extremely deep abyss and the mighty waves have swallowed and drowned countless lives.

In an even more ancient era, one of the daughters of Emperor Shennong was buried in the waves of the East China Sea.

As the son of the Human Emperor, he was filled with humanitarian energy, so much so that the immortals and gods near the East China Sea were unable to help him even though they wanted to. As for the aquatic creatures, by the time those who were willing to serve as mounts arrived, it was already too late.

Not long after the establishment of the Ji Zhou Dynasty, the young King Cheng was nearly swallowed by the waves. That small incident almost caused the human and dragon races to confront each other again.

In more recent times, the death of King Zhao, the father of King Mu, remains a mystery to this day.

Some said that he died in the chaos of battle, others said that he was on his way back to the capital, and when he passed by a big river, someone deliberately disturbed the waves, and then his ship capsized and was swallowed by the waves - but the kings of Chu knew that the latter was the truth.

King Zhao was submerged in the raging waves.

Because those waves were caused by an immortal god from the State of Chu, who took advantage of the chaos to fight with the god of water.

Listening to Liu Di's words, the king of Chu also frowned.

It seemed that the other Taiyi wanted to imitate the past actions of the State of Chu and drown him in the waves of the Xiang River.

"My king, I am going to cut off the aftermath of their fighting to prevent the Xiang River from being affected by it." Liu Di's eyes swept across the Xiang River.

The aftermath of the fight between the Taiyi had not yet spread here, but the waves in the Xiang River had already begun to accumulate. It was obvious that once the aftermath of the fight between the Taiyi spread here, the God of the Xiang River would immediately cause waves to swallow up the King of Chu.

Naturally, there is a water god in the Xiang River. Although he is not a dragon god, he also obeys the orders of the Four Rivers.

In the mythological system of the Chu State, the existence of the Xiang Army and Lady Xiang caused an extremely sharp conflict between this unknown god of the Xiang River and the Chu State.

If he found a way to drown the King of Chu, he would definitely not hesitate.

As for the subsequent investigation, it was nothing more than everyone making a fuss, and in the end it was decided that the King of Chu had accidentally fallen into the water, and the matter was left unresolved. After all, even the Human King, who had more power, was like this.

Therefore, no matter what, the aftermath of the fight between those Taiyis must not be allowed to spread here.

Without the aftermath of Taiyi's fight, if there were violent waves in the Xiang River, it would be entirely the problem of the Xiang River God and his responsibility alone.

At that time, even if the king of Chu died here, he would also accompany the king of Chu.

"Since we have already gambled once, why not gamble again?" A ruthless and resolute expression appeared on the face of the King of Chu.

The conflict between the State of Chu and the God of the Xiang River is more than just the God of the Xiang River's dissatisfaction with the Chu State's mythological system.

Water is a territory that has never been conquered by human beings. Therefore, when a mortal leaves the boat and enters the water, it is equivalent to stepping into the territory of the water god. It is equivalent to handing one's life into the hands of the water god. His life and death are in limbo. Whether it is life or death, it all depends on the thoughts of the water god.

Except for some people who have reached the end of their lifespan and are destined to die in the water, the fate of the others depends on the position of the water god.

If the water god is more inclined towards the human race, those who are either mortal or immortal will naturally have good luck, and may be washed ashore by the waves, or there may be driftwood in the water, or they may be pushed back by the aquatic creatures in the water...

And if the water god's position is against the human race, those who are mortal or not will mostly die in the waves, and there is little chance of escape.

There is no doubt that the God of Xiang River is the god that is opposed to the State of Chu.

Ever since the Taiyi myth spread in the State of Chu, the Xiang River has become extremely dangerous. It is rare for ordinary people who walk by the river, whether washing clothes, washing feet, or bathing, to avoid being swallowed up by the waves.

Even those who make a living by fishing often have their boats overturned by ignorant monsters in the water, and then die in the waves. In the end, the explanation given by the water god is nothing more than that the monsters in the water have become demons, refused to be disciplined, and put the blame on the demon clan.

Who made you, the Chu State, have so many demons and gods?

For the king of Chu, if he could really exchange his own life for the life of the Xiang River God, it would definitely be a good deal.

"Xiong Ben, if I die in the waves, you must immediately take the shrine of Yun Zhongjun back to Jingdu. You must not linger because of my corpse, which may damage Yun Zhongjun's spirit." said the king of Chu.

During this period of time, he also gained some understanding of the existence of 'spirit'.

Spirit is the means by which natural elves exist between heaven and earth and maintain their self-identity.

Once the essence is consumed, the natural elves will gradually lose themselves, and finally forget everything and turn into some kind of natural treasure.

To the King of Chu, it doesn’t matter whether Yun Zhongjun can maintain his own identity, nor does it matter what kind of treasure he will turn into.

The important thing is that Yun Zhongjun must not forget his ability to call the wind and rain, so Yun Zhongjun must remain rational, and his spirit must never be worn away.

Otherwise, Qu Mao's death would have been in vain.

As the King of Chu made the decision to entrust his son to his care, a faint light appeared on the shrine on his back.

Yun Zhongjun's extremely hollow voice then sounded.

"If Qu Mao hadn't said that in front of me, the Xiang River should be the territory of the Chu State."

"Of course." The King of Chu nodded, with a hint of pride in his words - his pride was certainly not without reason.

Over the years, the god of the Xiang River has tried more than once to change the course of the Xiang River so as to separate it from the State of Chu. The neighboring State of Jin and others have also fought with the State of Chu more than once in an attempt to seize the Xiang River basin.

But no matter what, the Xiang River is under the humanitarian protection of the Chu State.

"Since Xiangshui is the land of Chu, when the king sets foot on Xiangshui, I will be able to connect with the incense of Chu and regain the original power."

“Although we cannot return to our full strength in an instant, there will be no problem in calming the waves and allowing the king to cross the river safely.” Yun Zhongjun’s voice was deep and moving.

For Ao Bing, his "test" of the King of Chu should end here.

A monarch abandoned his trusted army and traveled lightly through the chaotic battlefield of Taiyi. This sunk cost was enough to make the monarch recall the risk he took in inviting Yun Zhongjun back to the country when he faced Yun Zhongjun in the future. If he went a step further and let the monarch of Chu die in the Xiang River, the sunk cost of Chu would certainly be greater, but it would make the successor monarch of Chu resent Yun Zhongjun.

After all, according to Ao Bing's observation, the relationship between the king of Chu of this generation and the king of Chu of the next generation, that is, the legitimate son he brought with him, can be said to be very loving and harmonious.

Making the King of Chu hate him would not be good for Yun Zhongjun's plan to use the power of Chu.

"Are you serious, Lord God?" Hearing Yun Zhongjun's words, the King of Chu's eyes lit up.

Although it is not a loss to exchange one's own life for the life of the God of Xiang River, it is still one's own life after all. It is better not to die if possible.

As for the God of the Xiang River, Yun Zhongjun, he has already appeared, so the appearance of Xiangjun and Xiang Furen is naturally a matter of time.

When Lord Xiang and Lady Xiang appear, the god of the Xiang River will become the fish on the anvil.

"The gods speak little, but their words are always true."

The king of Chu gritted his teeth and stepped onto the boat in front of him.

Of course, he could also choose a larger and more majestic ship, but it was obvious that that ship was not something that he and Xiong Ben could operate alone.

The moment he stepped onto the small fishing boat, Yun Zhongjun in the statue seemed to have crossed a boundary, just like a fish in the water, falling from the shore into the ocean.

So at this moment, the tiger returns to the mountain and the dragon enters the sea.

The fire transformed by faith appeared in Yun Zhongjun's perception.

In the firelight, there are countless distorted thoughts of various colors, just like ink in the water. If you are not careful, you will be contaminated by these distorted thoughts and the pollution will follow you. It takes dozens or even hundreds of times the energy and resources to eliminate the influence of these distorted beliefs.

If humanitarian incense is classified into grades, then these incense sticks made of distorted distracting thoughts are undoubtedly the lowest grade and the most difficult to be contaminated by.

Surrounded by the incense, the statue with cloud patterns in the shrine also turned into a living thing.

As Yun Zhongjun revived and breathed in, the incense created by faith and the power created by the incense also surged like waves and gathered towards where Yun Zhongjun was.

In the Xiang River, when the God of the Xiang River saw the King of Chu stepping onto the small fishing boat, his eyes suddenly turned red as he was still hesitating whether to attack the King of Chu.

As we all know, the smaller the boat you take, the more dangerous it is when crossing a river. The Xiang River is not a small ditch, but a rather large river with very turbulent waves.

Ever since the Xiang River was created, there have been few records of fishing boats crossing the two banks.

If he were the king of Chu, he could just cross the Xiang River on a tower ship or a warship.

But he chose a small fishing boat.

A small fishing boat will capsize in the wind and waves if the wind and waves are slightly stronger.

Isn't this a provocation?
In the eyes of the God of Xiang River, the King of Chu State on the small fishing boat seemed to have put his finger directly on his nose, and was poking his nose continuously with an extremely arrogant attitude.

"God of Xiangshui?"

"Control the life and death of countless creatures in the Xiang River?"

"Nothin'!"

"I am here now. I have stepped into your territory now."

"so what?"

"Do you dare to stir up a storm and swallow me up in the waves of the Xiang River?"

When distracting thoughts emerged in his mind, the God of Xiang River really heard the extremely arrogant and contemptuous words coming from the King of Chu.

Thus, the old hatred of having power usurped by the myth and the new hatred of being despised and ignored erupted like a volcano in an instant, swallowing up everything.

"A small fishing boat, huh?"

"You look down on me, don't you?"

"You want to establish another Xiang Jun above this god, right?"

"This God will now let you know what it means to be the Lord of Xiangshui!"

Amidst the gnashing of teeth, a raging wave suddenly rose up, and the Shuijun warships on both sides of the Xiang River were swaying left and right under the wave, and those fishing boats and small boats were directly thrown high into the sky by the wave, and then buried directly from the sky into the water.

The small fishing boat driven by the King of Chu was naturally no exception.

On the fishing boat, Xiong Ben, a martial arts master, also took a stance, intending to smash the incoming waves.

At this moment, a divine light emanated from the shrine of Yun Zhongjun, covering the small fishing boat in the divine light.

Yun Zhongjun's voice, carrying with it the eternal history, slowly came.

The water area is the territory of the water god.

But the boats on the water are where humanity lies.

That is the contract made between the ancient sages of humanity and the heaven and earth. It is a part of the infinite legacy left to future generations by those sages of humanity who had the possibility of ascending to the Daluo after giving up their own immortality.

It is just like once the door is closed, even ghosts and gods cannot enter without being invited.

It is just like those aquatic creatures that have awakened their spiritual intelligence and are able to control the wind and waves. When they are caught in the fishing net thrown by the fisherman, their bodies become sore and weak, and they can no longer mobilize their magic power or control the waves.

This is the rule left by the saints of human race between heaven and earth.

Boats also have their own rules.

When the first boat that could float on the water was built by mortal, the rules governing boats also emerged between heaven and earth.

A boat is the land in the water, a place in the water that is beyond the control of the water god.

As long as the boat is still there, the water god in the water will not be able to use his power to harm the mortals on the boat no matter what.

Therefore, even though the waves in the Xiang River were so powerful that they could throw the boats in the water high up like toys, after Yun Zhongjun mobilized the power of incense and cast the power of humanity on the small boat, this small fishing boat was transformed into the palace of the king of humanity in an instant.

The divine light connects with humanity, spreading over an area of ​​seven feet - this seven-foot area is the sacred land that no immortals or gods can invade.
