On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

The screen continued to scroll.

That is the Huai River in Jambudvipa (the southern continent).

The Huai River, also known as the Huaidu River, is one of the important water systems upon which humankind depends for survival.

But at this moment—

The Huai River has been transformed into a vast expanse of water!

The floodwaters surged, and the muddy waves rolled on!

Countless people were swallowed by the flood, their houses were destroyed, and their farmland was submerged!

In the middle of the flood, a ferocious figure could be seen faintly.

That was a gigantic demon ape!

It was hundreds of feet tall, covered in golden fur, with limbs as thick as mountains and eyes as red as blood!

It stood in the floodwaters, looking up to the sky and roaring!

"Hahahaha! Humans! You've finally met your match?"

"Back then, you occupied the primordial world and oppressed my demon race!"

"Now, it's my turn, Wuzhiqi, to take revenge!"

"Drowned! Drowned them! Drown these human ants!"

With a wave of its hand, the floodwaters of the Huai River surged even more fiercely!

It is none other than Wuzhiqi, the Demon King of the Huai River!

Inside the Lingxiao Palace.

The immortals all paled upon seeing this scene.

"It's Wuzhiqi!"

"The disaster of the Huai River!"

"That was a major catastrophe back then!"

Venus said in a deep voice, "Wuzhiqi was originally a water ape from the Huai River. After cultivating for ten thousand years, he achieved the position of Demon King."

"This demon possesses innate divine strength and is further enhanced by the Huai River's water veins, making it terrifyingly powerful!"

"When Yu the Great was taming the floods, he was stuck right here, unable to conquer it no matter how long he tried!"

Wuqu Xingjun nodded, "Not only that, Wuzhiqi also commands countless aquatic monsters, each one exceptionally fierce."

"The human experts sent by Yu the Great are dying one after another in the Huai River!"

"In that battle, the human race suffered heavy losses..."

on the screen.

On the banks of the Huai River.

Yu the Great, clad in full armor and wielding a divine axe, gazed solemnly at the floodwaters before him.

Behind him, countless human warriors gathered.

These warriors included tribal leaders, highly skilled human cultivators, and ordinary people.

They gathered here for only one purpose—

Flood control!

Save humanity from dire straits!

"Gentlemen!" Yu the Great proclaimed, "The demon king of the Huai River is wreaking havoc, and the floodwaters are raging!"

"Countless human people have been displaced and killed!"

"Today, I vow to slay Wuzhiqi and quell the calamity of the Huai River!"

"Who is willing to follow me to the Huai River?"

The words fell.

The human warriors responded in unison, "We are willing to follow Yu the Great! We will go together to the Huai River!"

"Alright!" A determined glint flashed in Da Yu's eyes. "Let's go!"

The group marched in a grand procession toward the Huai River!

however--

Wuzhiqi had made preparations long ago.

Its aquatic monsters had already been lying in ambush in the Huai River.

When the human warriors charged into the Huai River—

"kill!"

Countless monsters leaped out of the water and charged towards the human warriors!

These monsters include fish demons, turtle demons, crab demons, snake demons...

They are all exceptionally fierce, and their fighting power increases exponentially in the water!

Human warriors, though brave, find it difficult to exert their full strength in the water!

The human race was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the battle!

"Aaaaaah!"

Screams of agony rose and fell!

One by one, human warriors were dragged into the water by monsters and never came up again!

Yu the Great's eyes were bloodshot as he desperately swung his divine axe, slaying the monster.

But there are too many monsters!

Moreover, Wuzhiqi continued to manipulate the flood, impacting the human race's formation!

"Hahaha!" Wuzhiqi laughed wildly, "Yu the Great! With your small force, you think you can pacify the Huai River?"

"dream!"

With a wave of its hand, the floodwaters transformed into giant waves, crashing fiercely against Yu the Great!

Yu the Great gritted his teeth and tried to withstand the blow, but he was still sent flying and crashed onto the shore, spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Yu the Great!" the human warriors exclaimed.

"I'm fine!" Da Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to stand up.

But he knew this couldn't go on!

Wuzhiqi is too strong!

In the waters of the Huai River, it is simply invincible!

We must find a way...

"Give the order!" Da Yu gritted his teeth, "Everyone, withdraw from the Huai River!"

"Let's...try another way!"

Although the human warriors were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey the order and withdraw from the Huai River.

At this moment, looking at the raging flood, Yu the Great suddenly made a decision.

"Since we cannot defeat Wuzhiqi head-on..."

"Then... let's use human flesh and blood as a dike!"

"Control the water level of the Huai River!"

"Saving the people is the most important thing!"

Upon hearing this, the human warriors all paled.

Using flesh and blood as a dike?

That means that the lives of human warriors must be used to build dikes and stop the flood!

This...this price is too high!

But Yu the Great had already made up his mind.

"I'd like to go first!"

After saying this, Yu the Great leaped into the floodwaters!

He stood where the current was strongest, using his body to withstand the impact of the flood!

"Yu the Great!"

We are willing to follow!

Upon seeing this, the human warriors jumped into the water and formed a human wall to block the flood!

One by one!

Row after row!

Countless human warriors used their own flesh and blood to build a human wall!

The floodwaters battered them, tearing at their flesh and blood!

But they gritted their teeth and stood there stubbornly, refusing to back down an inch!

Someone was swept away, and someone immediately took their place!

When someone collapses from exhaustion, someone else takes their place!

Inside the Lingxiao Palace.

All the immortals fell silent upon witnessing this scene.

That scene...

Too tragic!

So tragic!

Humanity, in its struggle for survival, has stooped to this level...

Venus's eyes reddened: "Back then...it was just like that back then..."

"Humanity used their flesh and blood to form a dike, forcefully controlling the flow of the Huai River..."

"The price paid... was too high..."

Wuqu Xingjun sighed, "Yes... in that battle, countless human warriors died..."

"But it was precisely that battle that made the human race truly the protagonists of the primordial world..."

"Because only humans possess such will! Such determination!"

The immortals all nodded in agreement.

Just then—

The Jade Emperor suddenly spoke: "Issue a decree! Command the celestial beings of Heaven to descend to Earth and assist humanity in controlling the floods!"

"As you command!"

The scene shifts to countless celestial beings descending to earth to help humanity control the floods.

Some dredged the river channels, some reinforced the dikes, and some drove away monsters...

The arrival of the celestial beings and gods greatly reduced the burden on the human race!

Ultimately, through the combined efforts of Yu the Great and the celestial deities, the disaster on the Huai River was quelled!

Wuzhiqi was suppressed beneath the Huai River!

Humanity, survivors of the catastrophe...

Inside the Lingxiao Palace.

As the immortals watched this scene, they all showed expressions of reminiscence.

"Back then... that's how it was back then..."

"His Majesty has ordered us to descend to the mortal realm to assist humanity..."

"That battle was truly brutal..."

Just then—

A celestial official suddenly looked at the Jade Emperor, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

The Jade Emperor noticed that gaze, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

He knew what the celestial official wanted to say...

Ultimately...

The disaster that struck the Huai River was related to him!

Back then, it was he who suppressed the Dragon Clan and weakened their power in order to consolidate the Heavenly Court's rule!

This led to discontent among some dragons, who eventually rebelled!

Those rebellious dragons sided with Wuzhiqi, colluded with the demon race, and rebelled against the Heavenly Court!

This caused the Huai River to overflow, resulting in widespread flooding!

If the Jade Emperor hadn't suppressed the dragon race back then...

The disaster that occurred along the Huai River will never happen!

The Jade Emperor's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

This...this is his dark history...

Being exposed in public is incredibly humiliating...

"Ahem..." The Jade Emperor coughed twice, trying to change the subject, "The past is past, no need to mention it again..."

But the immortals' gazes still held a strange quality.

Over the North Sea.

As the Four Dragon Kings watched the scene, they were all lost in memories.

"Do you remember?" Ao Guang murmured to himself, "that battle back then..."

"I remember..." Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun said in unison.

At that time, they had only recently taken over the positions of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

Young and vigorous, full of ambition and high spirits.

Although the dragon race has submitted to the Heavenly Court, its strength is still quite considerable.

In addition, over the years, the dragon race has brought rain and blessings to the human world, accumulating a great deal of merit.

The strength of the dragon race is even showing signs of recovery!

They believed that the dragon race might be able to regain its former glory...

but...

The Huai River disaster broke out.

A portion of the dragon clan rebelled, defected to Wuzhiqi, and colluded with the demon clan.

The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered the dragon clans of the four seas to quell the rebellion!

That battle...

Extremely tragic!

Dragons are killing each other, brothers are turning against each other, and fathers and sons are becoming enemies!

The entire dragon race was almost decimated!

Countless dragons perished in battle, and the dragon race's strength plummeted!

"That battle..." Ao Guang gritted his teeth, "completely crippled the dragon race!"

"After that, we will have no choice but to obey the Heavenly Court completely..."

"Even life and death are controlled by the Heavenly Court..."

"The spirit of those days is gone..."

The Four Dragon Kings had complex expressions.

They looked at the screen, their minds filled with doubt.

"What role did my great-uncle play in that battle back then..." Ao Guang asked in a deep voice.

"Should we side with the Heavenly Court? Or with the rebels?"

"still..."

The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas and all the immortals of Heaven were staring intently at the screen.

They were all very curious—

In Su Bai's past life, what role did that powerful Yinglong play in this crucial battle?
