From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 223 Planning Rivers
The mountain fractured, and the earth collapsed.

The seemingly powerful long-toothed tiger god was ultimately no match for the River God's divine power. After his body was shattered, his spirituality was also severely damaged.

The City God remained unmoved, and with a decree, sealed away its remaining spiritual essence, awaiting the passage of time to completely obliterate it.

"Congratulations, River God, for slaying an alien god."

Upon seeing the River God's victory, You Ming offered his congratulations.

The River God's figure flickered and transformed into a human form, slowly walking forward.

Although his aura was at its peak at the moment, You Ming still keenly sensed a hint of weakness in him.

It's like a paper house that's been propped up; a gust of wind could blow it down.

Sure enough, the next moment, the River God's body swayed violently, and his vital energy immediately weakened.

Three of the nine celestial river phantoms that entwined his body had broken off, and the water had dried up, making him look quite miserable.

"Oh dear, I'm really getting old. I have to go all out to deal with a single alien god."

The River God suddenly coughed, and dark red blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If you look closely, there is blood on his chest, indicating that he himself suffered very serious injuries during the collision.

"To be able to kill someone so quickly within their divine realm, there are probably very few people in the entire Bingzhou who have that kind of strength."

You Ming smiled and spoke.

He actually had a vague idea of ​​what the River God was thinking.

The City God holds supreme power, commands a large army, and possesses countless treasures. When conquering other gods, he doesn't even need to lift a finger; he is enough to annihilate any of them.

Although You Ming's divine position was low, he was a great cultivator of the [Dharma Aspect] level. His spells were exquisite, fierce, and sharp, and he killed the White Bone Mother as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Only the River God, though old, did not want to fall behind or become a burden to the trio.

Therefore, he took the initiative to challenge the Tiger God to a duel, even if it meant forcibly stimulating his own blood and energy and suffering considerable injuries, he was determined to kill him.

Although Hebo was also injured, the goal was achieved, and Youming was happy for him.

……

Having annihilated the Tiger God, they had completed two-thirds of their mission, with only the [Egg-Swallowing Bird Father] at the Upside-Down Temple remaining.

The last alien god was the strongest and the most cunning.

However, You Ming and the others did not attack this alien god, but silently digested the land they had already acquired.

"You Ming, are you home?"

You Ming was cultivating in the makeshift shrine when he suddenly heard a sound like a broken gong coming from outside.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the River God walk in.

The River God's voice was still quite strong, but his face was still pale, and he smelled of herbs. It was obvious that his injuries had not yet healed.

"River God, you never knock on the door unless you have a reason. What brings you here today?"

You Ming restrained his magical power. Even though he was currently meditating and cultivating, he could hardly improve his magical power. It was just a habit he had developed in his daily life.

"Hehe, you really know me."

The River God blushed, feeling embarrassed that You Ming had seen through his thoughts. "It's like this, I suffered a minor injury a few days ago."

"But now the City God wants to open up a waterway to connect these two newly acquired territories, and then introduce the Feng River to connect them into one."

"But as you can see from my condition, you're really struggling to keep going."

The River God rubbed his hands together and finally explained the requirements of his method.

He wanted You Ming to help connect the waterways between the two places.

After all, You Ming is quite strong and naturally adept at water, so these things are not really that troublesome for him.

"That's it..."

"That's a small matter, but I've never done this before. I might need your guidance on the specific course of the river."

You Ming was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Of course, I can't leave everything to you. Although I may not have the ability to mobilize resources, I still have good judgment."

The River God laughed loudly. He had been a deity for so many years, so he was naturally very experienced, and he was quite proud of that.

……

You Ming secretly activated the cheat code, summoning the [Divine Rule View].

In an instant, the scroll surged, and the area on the eastern foothills of Yinshan Mountain slowly unfolded. What was originally just one patch of green land has now become two.

This means that these two places have now become You Ming's jurisdiction.

However, it's also clear that these two places are distinct and not fully connected as a whole. This is precisely the problem that the City God realized: these two territories, whether in terms of their geological features or river course, operate independently and are not effectively connected as a whole.

So what needs to be done now is to dig a river to connect the waterways of the two places, which will not only make it easier for people to travel between the two places, but also gradually integrate the two places into one.

The [Shenzhi View] shows that the original White Bone Tribe territory was located downstream, where there was a natural pond, while the Long Teeth Tribe was located at a relatively higher elevation, with only a few scattered deep pools and no complete river flowing through it.

You Ming originally thought this was a simple task, but it turned out to be much more difficult than he had imagined.

To carve out a river, one needs to know the local soil, land, and vegetation inside and out; one cannot simply wander aimlessly through the meandering sections.

In particular, on the [Divine Healing View], You Ming also discovered a huge break in the mountain's path between the two, which was a rocky depression formed after the mountain fractured. This caused the two places to be at different heights, with a huge difference in elevation.

Building a river in this environment is extremely difficult.

"Young man Youming, this is a geomantic map I drew. I've marked the shape and location of the rivers for you. Take a look."

"If there are no problems, please perform the spell."

The River God tossed a piece of paper, which floated lightly down in front of You Ming.

You Ming took a look. Although this geomantic map was certainly not as detailed as the [Divine Rule View], the basic locations were marked roughly.

Moreover, the River God clearly noticed the significant drop between the two points of intersection, so he designed the river to form a zigzag shape, turning off to the south.

This is a good idea. Without cheat codes, Yu Ming would naturally agree with the plan based solely on his own judgment of the terrain.

However, if you compare this planned river of the River God with the [Divine View], you will find that there are eleven different markers along the route that this river is expected to flow through.

Moreover, most of the markers are red, which means that if we insist on planning according to this river, it is likely to cause some problems.
