Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Chapter 169 Lu Yun has another new invention! The Dragon Clan is having a headache!

The fox spirit and other representatives of various races stepped into this newly established city, their eyes drawn to the sight before them.

There were many humans busy around.

Using various tools, their hands polished rough stones into neat bricks, which were then skillfully stacked into sturdy walls.

The streets gradually took shape under their planning, and every road looked so neat and beautiful, as if one could foresee a prosperous future.

The city's defensive facilities were truly impressive to the humans, with arrow towers, moats, and heavy city gates—every detail revealing the human race's deep consideration for future security.

With just one glance, they could tell that the city they had built looked utterly out of place compared to the city built by the human race.

The fox woman and the other representatives of various races looked at each other, their eyes filled with admiration.

They never imagined that the human race, which they still considered very weak, could create so many convenient tools in such a short time, and that even those with weak cultivation could quickly build such a magnificent city.

The human race is indeed not to be underestimated!

At the same time, a strong sense of anticipation welled up in their hearts, hoping that their own people could also have such a place to live.

Therefore, they all began to carefully observe the actions of the human race. In order to learn how to build more quickly, they actively participated in the construction and contributed to the construction of the human race's city.

On the other side of the city, by the lake, a group of humans were busy at work.

They were wielding axes, cutting down large swathes of bamboo along the lake.

Lu Yun, Nuwa, and the others stood aside, watching quietly.

Xihe suddenly turned to Lu Yun and said, "Lu Yun, do you think that other races sending people to learn city building might have any negative impact on the human race?"

Nuwa, Changxi, Houtu, and the others also looked at Lu Yun with curiosity.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and replied, "No need to worry. This is actually a good opportunity. We can undermine the unity of the demon race by teaching them city-building techniques, and at the same time, we can take this opportunity to make more allies. In this way, the human race's position in the prehistoric world will be more secure."

Nuwa and the other women found Lu Yun's words quite reasonable and nodded in agreement.

Just then, the busy humans had already cut down a large pile of bamboo, and some humans had also brought over a lot of hemp rope.

These hemp ropes were naturally made by Lu Yun and his companions after they discovered hemp while traveling through the prehistoric world and building cities for the human race.

Houtu looked at the pile of things in front of her and asked curiously, "What exactly do you want to do with all this bamboo?"

Even though she had seen Lu Yun create many strange and unusual things, she still couldn't guess what new ideas Lu Yun had at this moment.

Nuwa and the others were also very curious.

"You'll see when you see it!"

As Lu Yun spoke, he stepped forward and began to instruct these humans on how to make bamboo rafts.

This is what Lu Yun discovered upon arriving here: the human race currently has no ships and doesn't even know what fishing is, so naturally, he had to bring out bamboo rafts and fishing nets.

Lu Yun explained each step in detail, from selecting bamboo to removing branches and leaves, and then to how to tie the bamboo into a raft.

The humans around listened with great interest, following Lu Yun's instructions step by step.

Next, Lu Yun taught them how to weave fishing nets, patiently demonstrating everything from the simplest knotting techniques to the complex mesh weaving.

The humans learned very quickly and soon mastered the essentials.

But even after they made the thing, no one knew what it was for.

Lu Yun could only lead them to the lake and teach them how to use bamboo rafts and fishing nets to catch fish.

The humans pushed the bamboo rafts into the water, cast their fishing nets, and soon caught a net full of fish.

"this……"

The humans on the lakeshore were all shocked by what they saw.

They never imagined that simple bamboo and hemp rope could bring such a bountiful harvest.

This completely overturned their understanding!

Seeing their surprised expressions, Lu Yun felt very satisfied.

Nuwa also showed a happy expression, because she knew that this technology could not only improve the living standards of the human race, but also enhance their survival capabilities.

As the strength of the human race increases, their position in the prehistoric world will become more and more secure.

Just then, a beam of golden light of merit descended from the sky, landing on Lu Yun, the first bamboo raft, the first fishing net, and the humans who had previously made the bamboo raft and hemp rope.

The humans were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun simply waved his hand at them and said, "No need for that. Quickly make more bamboo rafts and fishing nets, and continue fishing!"

Lu Yun naturally intended to collect the bamboo raft and fishing net that had been imbued with the merits of Heaven.

The humans quickly sprang into action, continuing to work with the remaining bamboo and hemp rope.

Nuwa and the others suddenly heard Lu Yun mutter, "Why is Heaven so stingy this time, only giving such a small amount of merit?"

The women were all speechless for a moment.

Nuwa suddenly seemed to be deep in thought and said, "Perhaps it's because the bamboo rafts and fishing nets you created, while providing convenience to some living beings, also caused harm to others, so the Heavenly Dao has given you less reward."

Lu Yun and the others couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, bamboo rafts and fishing nets have brought convenience to the human race, but at the same time they will harm aquatic creatures, especially fishing nets. If they are widely used, a large number of aquatic creatures will inevitably suffer. This is somewhat different from the other things Lu Yun created.

However, Lu Yun didn't care about this. He didn't value the so-called Heavenly Dao merits. At most, he would use them to intimidate enemies in battle or when refining spiritual treasures.

Lu Yun shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's just a little merit, it doesn't matter! Let's take this bamboo raft and have a good time on the lake!"

Nuwa and the others had gradually become numb to his Versailles-like behavior.

However, they were quite interested in taking a boat trip on the lake, and soon followed Lu Yun onto a bamboo raft, where they began to drift on the lake.

Meanwhile, the humans by the lake quickly prepared more bamboo rafts and fishing nets, and began catching fish net after net on the lake.

The catch was so amazing that it almost sank the bamboo raft!

The humans were overjoyed and quickly sent their most skilled cultivators to fly back to the city with nets full of fish. The remaining humans continued fishing on the lake to catch even more fish.

The humans in the city were soon alarmed by this situation.

Representatives from various races in the city, including the human and fox clans, were drawn by the joyful sounds coming from the lakeside.

Curious, they walked out of the city gate and witnessed a series of breathtaking scenes: bamboo rafts crisscrossing the lake, fishing nets being cast out time and time again, each time returning fully loaded.

The humans, amidst laughter and chatter, busily transported the captured fish back to the city, while the representatives of the fox clan and other races watched in stunned silence, marveling repeatedly.

"This...is this really something made by humans?" a fox clan representative asked incredulously.

"Incredible! Humans have actually come up with such a way to catch fish!" exclaimed a representative from another race.

They had originally come to learn city-building techniques, but they never expected to witness such a miraculous scene. The status of humans in their eyes rose considerably once again.

Meanwhile, the aquatic creatures in the lake were filled with worry.

They watched helplessly as fish and shrimp were caught in fishing nets, their hearts filled with anxiety and fear.

Although those captured were only low-level aquatic creatures, they were still food for the humans! If the humans captured them all, what would they eat in the future?

Thinking of this, some of the aquatic creatures that had transformed into human form immediately rushed to the bottom of the lake to report to the Dragon King, hoping that he could intervene to stop the human race's fishing operations.

Inside the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake.

Upon learning this news, the Dragon King was immediately troubled.

He already knew that the humans by the lake were building a city, and he also knew that the bamboo rafts and fishing nets were the creations of Lu Yun, the human immortal master.

More importantly, the saint Nuwa is present!

How could a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal dare to resist?

But he could not stand idly by and watch his people be mass-caught in fishing.

So, the Dragon King reluctantly prepared to go to the lake to discuss things with Lu Yun and the others.

However, just as he made up his mind to surface and find Lu Yun and the others, he was surprised to find that Lu Yun, Nuwa, and the others had already appeared in his Dragon Palace.

"Greetings to the Sage Nuwa! Greetings to the Ancestral Witch Houtu! Greetings to Immortal Master Lu Yun! Greetings to the two fairies!" The Dragon King hurriedly bowed and greeted them.

Although he was the Dragon King, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent in the face of these powerful beings.

After all, not to mention Nuwa, a saint, Houtu is a quasi-saint, and Lu Yun and the Xihe sisters are both at the level of Daluo Jinxian. He can't afford to offend any of them!

"No need for such formalities, Dragon King!" Lu Yun said with a smile. "We've only come here for sightseeing and have no intention of causing trouble for your aquatic creatures. These bamboo rafts and fishing nets are just little things we made up on the spot."

As he spoke, he pointed to the representatives of various races, including humans and foxes, who were busy at work by the lake, and said, "Look how much fun they're having! Why don't you let your people join in?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood!

Play?

Are you treating these aquatic creatures like toys? And you expect them to join in the fun? This is utterly outrageous!

However, he dared not refute it and could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes...yes...the Immortal Master is right..." In his heart, he cursed Lu Yun to the core!

Nuwa glanced helplessly at Lu Yun, then calmly said, "Dragon King, there's no need to worry. We've come here to discuss this with you. While humans need to hunt aquatic creatures for food, they won't take without restraint. We can establish rules to limit the quantity and scope of human fishing, ensuring that the reproduction of aquatic creatures is not affected."

This was actually the decision she and Lu Yun had discussed earlier, but she didn't expect that after Lu Yun arrived, instead of discussing serious matters, he would start teasing the Dragon King.

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty! This is excellent! This is excellent!"

He had initially thought that the aquatic creatures in his lake were going to suffer heavy losses this time. Unexpectedly, Nuwa would take the initiative to offer such a suggestion.

This was undoubtedly fantastic news for him!

Thus, the two sides quickly reached an agreement and established rules that restricted the quantity and scope of human fishing, while also stipulating penalties for violating the rules.

This ensured the survival needs of the human race while avoiding excessive harm to the aquatic race.

After reaching an agreement, Lu Yun and his group didn't linger and took their leave.

The Dragon King escorted them to the Dragon Palace and watched them leave before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

He returned to the Dragon Palace, pondered for a while, and felt it necessary to report this matter to the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan so that the Dragon Clan in other rivers, lakes and marshes of the prehistoric world could be prepared in advance.

After all, the human race is widely distributed in the prehistoric world, and now that they have these bamboo rafts and fishing nets, they will surely spread quickly throughout the prehistoric world!

Thinking of this, the Dragon King urgently contacted the East Sea Dragon Palace.

……

Inside the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, everything was resplendent with gold and jewels.

The news that the Dragon King of Yunhu had just sent was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

The elders of the dragon clan gathered together, their faces all bearing a solemn expression.

"Gentlemen, news has come from Cloud Lake that the human race has created bamboo rafts and fishing nets, which can be used to catch aquatic creatures in large quantities," an elder said in a deep voice.

"What? The human race dares to lay a finger on my aquatic race?" Another elder slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"It is said that all of this was the work of Lu Yun, the immortal master of the human race, and the sage Nuwa," another elder added.

Upon hearing the name of the Sage Nuwa, the dragon clan elders present fell silent. They all knew of the Sage Nuwa's prestige and power; she was someone their dragon clan could not afford to offend.

"So what should we do now? We can't just stand by and watch the aquatic creatures be caught by the humans, can we?" an elder asked anxiously.

"In my opinion, we should immediately send people to Cloud Lake to prohibit the human race from fishing!" Another elder advocated taking strong measures.

However, the proposal was quickly opposed by others.

"No! Although our dragon race is powerful, we cannot go to war with the human race at will. Moreover, the human race now has a sage supporting them from behind," a clear-headed elder analyzed.

"So, are we just going to sit idly by and do nothing?" the clan elder, who had previously advocated a hardline stance, asked unwillingly.

"Of course not! Humans only catch low-level aquatic creatures. We can follow the example of the Cloud Lake Dragon King and negotiate with humans to establish rules to limit the quantity and scope of their catch," an elder proposed a compromise.

The proposal was approved by the majority of those present.

They all felt that this was a good way to protect the interests of the aquatic race while avoiding conflict with the human race.

Of course, if a sage were to be born on the Dragon Clan's side, then the Dragon Clan would have the leverage to challenge the Human Clan and could then discuss countermeasures again!

Therefore, the East Sea Dragon Palace quickly issued a proclamation, ordering all dragons in the rivers, lakes and marshes of the prehistoric world to follow the example of the Cloud Lake Dragon King and negotiate with humans to resolve the issue of fishing for aquatic creatures, and not to antagonize humans.
