Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 970: Heavy Rain in Chang'an
Wind and rain are the ultimate means used by Heaven to control the human world!
In the past years, the Heavenly Court has always firmly controlled the human world by means of wind and rain. The emperors of the human world, who wanted to achieve the feat of becoming the King of Man, or even the Emperor of Man, had to pray to God to grant the human world good weather and good harvests.

If the storm is not settled, no matter how talented the princes and emperors are, it will be difficult for them to achieve the achievements they want.

At the end of the Han Dynasty under Emperor Guangwu, during the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, almost all the gods and immortals in the world were planning to destroy the possibility of the Three Resurrections of Yan and Han. At that time, although Yan and Han had both Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, and the Five Tigers, and even the Battle of Xiangfan almost forced Cao Wei to move its capital...

Even so, no one was optimistic about the possibility of the third revival of Yanhan - an inexplicable incident of suing wind and rain caused the gods in heaven to mediate, forcing the offensive of Shuhan to stop, which was enough to prove the predicament of Shuhan's situation at that time.

How was the trend of the three rises of Yan and Han determined?
Wasn't it the great dragon god who was in charge of all the wind and rain in heaven and earth, who, when he was traveling among the human world, was grateful for the loyalty, righteousness and kindness of the Shu Han, and promised that all the wind and rain would be as planned?

It was also after that that the real dragon, representing wind and rain, completely replaced the phoenix and became the symbol of the emperor on earth - food is the most important thing for the people, and good weather and harvest are the first demands of the people.

"Come here, pass the order to Jinghe."

After calculating the current cycle of water vapor between heaven and earth, the Jade Emperor immediately wrote a decree from heaven and ordered a messenger to go to Jing River to announce it.

In the Jinghe Dragon Palace, the Jinghe Dragon King had a human body and a dragon head. When he read the contents of the Heavenly Decree, his scalp went numb for a moment, and the scales and hair on his head all exploded in an instant.

A real dragon was almost scared into a water snake.

"This...this...this..." The voices of the four rivers and lakes trembled in awe.

The four rivers are the Yangtze River, the Huai River and the Ji River. The Jing River flows into the Wei River, and the Wei River flows into the Yellow River.

Although the Jing River is only a tributary of the Yellow River - but because it is close to Guanzhong, adjacent to the imperial capital of Chang'an, and is the hinterland of humanity, the Jing River's status in the water system is also quite high.

Even though many true dragons in the dragon clan were fighting outside the domain at this time, the Jinghe Dragon King who guarded the Jinghe River was also an old dragon king at the Taiyi level.

His rule over the Jing River has continued from the Three Rise of the Yan and Han Dynasties to the present day. He can be said to be a very senior water god and a very senior god of wind and rain.

In his life on earth, he had witnessed the coming and going of dynasties, as well as the so-called rise and fall. Over the countless years, he asked himself whether he could watch the changes in the world with an incomparable calmness.

But at this moment, looking at the Jade Emperor's decree, he couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't believe the contents of the decree at all.

The decree reads: Clouds will appear at Chen hour, thunder will sound at Si hour, rain will fall at Wu hour, and the rain will be heavy at Wei hour, with a depth of three feet, three inches and forty-eight points of water.

From noon to noon, it's only one hour.

The rainfall here was 3 feet 3 inches and 48 points.

This kind of rain, so fast and heavy, can already be called a rainstorm - this rainstorm is naturally a good thing for aquatic creatures.

Those many streams converge into the Jing River, which is enough to raise the water level of the Jing River by several feet and widen the water area by several feet.

But for the human world, such heavy rain is enough to cause a flood out of nowhere!

If anything unexpected happened to riverbanks, mountain streams, etc. during this rainstorm, the entire Chang'an city would probably be destroyed by this flood.

That’s the capital of humanity!

It was the humane imperial capital during the reign of the Human Emperor!

That Human Emperor was the one who killed people with swords and guns!
What will happen if such heavy rain and floods come?

The Dragon King of the Jing River dared to say with certainty that if the Human Emperor, who was born into a conquest family, did not immediately lead an army to attack the sky after this rainstorm, he, the Dragon King of the Jing River, would take off his own head and use it as a sphere.

No, that Human Emperor wants to do more than just destroy Heaven!

They will completely break off relations with the dragon clan and will not stop until all the real dragons in the waters of the world are hunted down and killed!
"Dragon King of Jinghe River, why don't you accept the order?" The messenger who delivered the order shouted sternly - he was none other than the God of Water Virtue.

The Water Deity and the Dragon Clan are old rivals!

He is an extremely ancient star god.

He was originally a general of the Shang Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this God of Water Deity began to move around in the human world in order to gather the waters of the human world. At that time, when Yun Zhongjun showed his divine power in the Xiang River, the god of the Xiang River went to the God of Water Deity for help.

Afterwards, the God of Water appeared in the human world and strongly supported the Qin State. He wanted to achieve Daluo by using the method of the five elements rotating the five virtues. After achieving Daluo, he even went a step further and sought the supreme position of Water Element.

And in the end, his plan was half accomplished.

With his unremitting support, the Qin State unified the world and became a great unified dynasty, and it was ruled by the virtue of water...

This marked the beginning of the transformation of the five elements and five virtues.

However, the rule of the Qin Empire had just begun, and the evolution of water and water virtue had just begun. Ao Bing, the great dragon god of rain, took action and killed the First Emperor, the emperor of mankind.

Then, the dynasty collapsed... The evolution of the water element and the water virtue had just begun, but it was cut short...

The path for the Water Deity Star Lord to achieve Daluo and transform into the Black Emperor will be forever stuck here - the path is right, but no matter how he goes on, it is blocked.

With the internal rotation of the Five Elements without virtue that he himself promoted, after the fall of a Water Virtue Dynasty, it would be necessary to wait until the Five Elements had completed a complete cycle before the second Water Virtue Dynasty could evolve.

And from the Qin Empire to the present... we have only experienced the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty and have just arrived at the earth virtue of the Tang Dynasty.

Among the transformations of the five virtues, the virtue of water was destroyed because of the dragon clan.

The virtue of fire continues because of the dragon clan.

——The road of the Water Deity Star Lord was also blocked by the dragon clan.

I can clearly see the way forward, and I can easily take one step forward, or even two steps forward...but I just can't take this step forward.

It is clearly the first of the five elements and five virtues... but during the operation of the five elements and five virtues, it has to become the last of the five elements and five virtues...

One can imagine how much hatred the Water Deity has for the dragon clan.

——This is the real revenge that blocks the way!
Of course, he also knew about the Jade Emperor's decree.

As the Star Lord of Water Virtue, he was very clear about the consequences of the decree.

——But he just wanted to see this scene.

See how the dragon clan is struggling with this decree.

I saw the decision made by the Dragon Clan under this decree. I also saw the conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Human Emperor.

Even the Tang Dynasty, which was known for its earthly virtue, lost its national fortune ahead of schedule and accelerated the emergence of another dynasty.

Therefore, he came to Jinghe River in person as the God of Water, acting as a messenger to deliver the emperor's orders.

While he is a messenger, he is also the supervisor of whether the Dragon King of Jinghe River responds to the summons!

"Your Majesty, I obey the order." Under the pressure of the Water God, the Dragon King of Jinghe River had no choice but to accept the order to rain.

He first contacted the Dragon Palace, but seeing that there was no response from the Dragon Palace, he immediately made use of the waterway of the Jing River and the underground water system to escape by hiding from the eyes and ears of the Water Deity Star Lord. He quietly entered Chang'an City and found a minister of the Human Emperor - Yuan Shoucheng, who also belonged to the Imperial Observatory.

With Yuan Shoucheng's introduction, the Dragon King of Jinghe River soon met Li Shimin in the palace.

Although Li Shimin was troubled by the entanglement of Prince Jiancheng, he still discussed the matter of rainfall with the Dragon King of Jinghe River in front of him.

Although the rainstorm was sudden and heavy, since we had known about it in advance, we only needed to gather the practitioners in Chang'an City to collect water vapor and guide the water flow during the rainstorm, and naturally there would be no flooding.

In order to thank the Dragon King of the Jing River for coming to report the warning, Li Shimin agreed to build a temple to worship the Dragon King of the Jing River, but also guaranteed that if the Heavenly Court held the Dragon King of the Jing River responsible for leaking rainwater, he would intervene in the name of the Human Emperor to save the Dragon King's life.

Soon after, in Chang'an City, an expert from the Imperial Observatory predicted heavy rain and issued an order to warn the people living near Chang'an City to avoid the heavy rain.

At the same time, practitioners from aristocratic families and immortal sects around Chang'an City were also transferred to the vicinity of Chang'an City. They moved around the Eight Waters and, under the cover of humanity, deployed an extremely large formation... in preparation for guiding tomorrow's rainstorm.

Under the mighty power of the Human Emperor, all the aristocratic families and immortal sects naturally obeyed his orders.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

The rising clouds and roaring thunder are all in accordance with the law.

The huge formation covering the entire Guanzhong Plain was deployed at this moment, letting the Dragon King of Jinghe River know that the world was ready.

Looking at the unfolding situation, the Dragon King of the Jing River accurately led to the release of heavy rain at noon.

In an instant, torrential rain as big as beans submerged the entire Guanzhong plain.

Under the heavy rain, the sky and the earth were dark, the day turned into night, and there was no trace of sunlight.

Many practitioners have urged their magic power to move the huge amount of water vapor, gathering it into a new lake or transporting it to other places...

At the same time, Li Chunfeng from the Imperial Observatory brought his generals and guards to patrol the Guanzhong wilderness. Those mountain spirits and monsters who did not stay obediently in their own caves would be strangled to death immediately!

It is said that it is better to be wronged than to let off the hook! This is exactly what it means!

Amid the entanglement of blood and water vapor, the Dragon King of Jinghe River looked at the perfect preparations of the human world, and immediately put his mind at ease. Then he concentrated all his attention on pushing for the release of wind and rain.

In this way, time moves slowly.

However, just as the hour of Wei was approaching, a corner of the great formation that covered the entire Guanzhong Plain suddenly collapsed!
That was when some practitioners who were guiding the water vapor in the formation ran out of mana and tried to do it forcefully. However, their mana backfired... and they died on the spot.

The large formation that covers the entire Guanzhong Plain - even for the Human Emperor, it would not be easy to set it up in one day.

The formation was not perfect to begin with, and it relied entirely on sufficient manpower to support it.

And now, within the formation, a cultivator was hit by the backlash, and the formation immediately began to shake...

The entire formation looked like it was about to collapse.

With regard to the current situation, this formation is like a dam - and the heavy rain still pouring out above the formation is like a lake hanging above one's head.

If such a dam collapses, the consequences can be imagined.

Once the lake hanging above our heads collapses, the consequences of the flood it causes will be hundreds or thousands of times more devastating than the flood caused by heavy rain!
Seeing the collapsed corner of the magic circle, the expressions of all the officials in Chang'an City changed suddenly.

Almost everyone thought of the disastrous consequences of the collapse of this magic circle.

"Yuan Shoucheng, how much rain is there now?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's already three feet and forty!" Yuan Shoucheng asked.

"How long can you hold on?"

"Your Majesty, I can't hold on any longer!" Yuan Shoucheng was almost wailing - when a corner of the magic circle collapsed and those practitioners from aristocratic families died, the pressure they had endured was also evenly distributed to other practitioners.

——This is a rainstorm that follows the order of heaven and earth. To channel such a rainstorm is equivalent to bearing the might of heaven.

Under this divine power, mortals would be fine - but as practitioners, the more powerful they are, the greater the pressure they will bear.

"It's still three inches and eight points." On the sky, the Dragon King of Jinghe looked at the increasing amount of blood and energy mixed with water vapor in the magic circle, and his heart suddenly tightened.

——The sources of those blood and energy include some old friends who have a good relationship with him.

But now, those old friends, one after another, have died under the might of heaven that came with the rainstorm.

For a moment, the Dragon King of the Jing River, who was leading the heavy rain, actually felt as if he had killed these old friends with his own hands.

"This rainstorm can't get any heavier!" Looking at those old friends dying one after another, the Dragon King of the Jing River didn't even have time to think, and hurriedly sent down the last three inches and eight points of rainstorm. Then, when the rainstorm fell, he used the dragon clan's ability to control wind and rain to quietly guide it into the Jing River.

The Water Deity, who had been standing nearby, looked at this scene and smiled grimly. He then returned to the Heavenly Palace and filed a complaint against the Dragon King of the Jing River.

He said: Disobeying the law and stealing rainwater.

Nominally, in the name of the Jade Emperor, three feet, three inches and forty-eight points of rain fell, but in reality, only three feet and forty points of rain fell, and the remaining three inches and eight points were stolen by the Dragon King of the Jing River with the help of his own power and flowed into the Jing River.

In the rain, there is the power of heaven, as well as creation - it is the vitality that falls from the sky to the earth.

The Dragon King of the Jing River steals the rain by using his authority as the Dragon King, which means he is also stealing the creation of all things.

This is a serious crime!
