Chapter 8 Let’s try another approach!
The Lord of Wanshan pretended to think and said to Li Yuan:
"There will be no rain in Anshan for the next ten years. This is determined by the laws of nature. There is nothing I can do about it..."
Li Yuan was dumbfounded and said unwillingly: "Could it be that with so many gods in the sky, they can't even arrange for rain?"
Many gods shook their heads: "It is not difficult to make the wind and rain, but it is set up in that area. According to the rules of heaven, it shows that there will be rainfall in the future!"
"Anshan is barren and has an extremely low status in the heavenly order. There will be no rainfall in the next ten years. Even if the rain from ten years later is moved here, what will happen in the next ten years?"
Li Yuan felt bitter.
I completely disregarded my reputation and made such a big fuss, but was it all in vain?
The mortals living at the foot of the mountain are still waiting for the mountain god to come back after praying for rain!
If there is no rain for ten consecutive years in the future, all people and things in Anshan will die!
When all living creatures are dead, the demon will come and no one will be able to stop it. The only one who will die is this ball of delicious fairy energy that can be eaten as soon as the lid is opened!
Could it be that I traveled through time and space and ended up in such a miserable way?
Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He is a person who traveled through time, so why doesn't he take advantage of the advantages of his original world?
Thinking of this, Li Yuan quickly got up from the ground and bowed to the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains.
"The rules of heaven, I dare not speak nonsense."
"But, as long as there are living beings in the world, they have the right to pursue survival!"
"I dare to ask the Heavenly Emperor to help me for the sake of all the creatures in the mountain!"
"Modify the rules of heaven and give the creatures of Anshan a chance to survive!"
The Jade Emperor in the clouds narrowed his eyes.
All causes and effects, every sip and every bite.
The rules of heaven are extremely complex and if they are disturbed, the entire three realms will be affected.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains in the Lingxiao Palace shook his head.
"The Lord of Heaven commands the Three Realms, and the Way of Heaven is impartial and selfless. Unless there is a major event that affects the Three Realms, the rules of the Way of Heaven must not be touched or changed!"
Li Yuan did not intend to continue moral blackmail.
Using human morality to kidnap gods? Using human morality to kidnap heaven?
I wouldn't even dream of doing this!
However, Li Yuan already knew that they would refuse.
"Then try another method!"
His voice echoed in the Lingxiao Hall, clear and vigorous.
Many gods focused their attention on this little mountain god.
Those big guys were not in a hurry to drive Li Yuan away. They all wanted to hear what this new little god had to say.
At the famous Ten Thousand Immortals Conference in the Three Realms, for the first time in history, the protagonist position did not fall to the Emperor of Heaven.
"I have three methods. Please consider whether they are feasible!"
Li Yuan stood straight, his eyes clear and firm.
"The first method is to make up for the shortage with more!"
"When droughts continue in Anshan, we borrow some floodwaters from areas with waterlogging!"
"I swear to heaven!"
"I, Li Yuan, the mountain god of Anshan, will protect Anshan, make it grow and develop, protect the lives of the people, and gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao to grant Anshan more rainfall!"
"When the time comes, Little God Li Yuan will repay you with ten times the amount of clean water!"
"God is my witness, there is no regret!"
A thunder roared in the sky, as if remembering Li Yuan's words.
The oath of heaven has been fulfilled!
Li Yuan looked at the other mountain and river gods.
Make an oath to the heavens, borrow a flood and return ten times as much clean water!
Those gods avoided Li Yuan's gaze.
Even though such conditions are very tempting, who would dare to respond without the order from the boss?
"The second method is to ask the nearby mountain gods and river gods to help me intercept an underground river and enter the desolate desert."
"This great favor, little God Li Yuan will definitely repay you!"
Many mountain gods and river gods shook their heads subconsciously.
The Anshan Desert stretches for thousands of miles, and the price is too high.
If the gods recklessly disturb the earth's veins, they might even incur the wrath of Mother Earth.
This is the earth's vein. If there is any mistake, it will lead to huge consequences.
No god would dare to take such a big risk to help a new mountain god.
Only mortals are loved by Mother Earth. Even if they dig the earth veins wantonly, Mother Earth will not get angry easily!
However, if ordinary people want to change the structure of the earth's veins, divert rivers or block flows, it will take years or even decades.
The number of people needed is even more difficult to estimate.
If Li Yuan could call on mortals to carry out such a big project, why would he need heaven?
Li Yuan looked at the many mountain gods and river gods who were shaking their heads, but he was not discouraged.
"The third method!"
"Please ask the mountain master to remove Anshan from the list of all mountains in the world, raze it and rebuild it, and rename it. It should be possible... Let the Heavenly Dao review it and give it another chance!"
Li Yuan didn't dare to say that he was deceiving heaven.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains frowned tightly.
What is the difference between this third method and deceiving the heavens? The risk is too great!
Divert water from South to North, build roads to divert water, and start over again with a new identity.
These methods have been almost used up in Li Yuan's original world.
But in this strange world, in this ancient world where gods are the masters, this statement is truly shocking.
Li Yuan had a rough answer in his mind.
As expected, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains spoke after thinking for a while.
"The second and third methods are too risky and simply violate the bottom line of heaven."
"If you insist on praying for rain, only the first method can be adopted."
"If I can repay ten times what I borrowed, then I won't be considered to be owing anyone a favor..."
Li Yuan shouted in his heart, "Oh Yeah!"
His face remained expressionless: "The creatures of Anshan have a hard time surviving, and it is my duty to find a way for them to survive!"
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains nodded, but he was a little curious and asked:
"The flood water is dirty and mortals cannot drink it. Otherwise, they will get sick and it is difficult for mortal medicine to cure. How can you save them?"
His question touched upon the doubts in the minds of many gods.
Li Yuan smiled slightly: "The mountain god has his own ingenious plan."
The eyes of the Emperor of Heaven, who was hidden in the clouds, lit up again. Could there be something fun?
The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains arranged for a mountain god from the flood-stricken area to have a detailed talk with Li Yuan.
Finally, Li Yuan borrowed tens of millions of kilograms of polluted flood water from the mountain god.
Converted into the number of Li Yuan's original world, it is 5000 tons of flood.
No matter how much more it is, people won’t be willing to lend it.
Borrow 5000 tons of flood water, but return tons of clean water!
If you borrow one and pay back ten, it can't even be called usury, it's simply giving it away for free.
With the oath sworn by Heaven and so many gods as witnesses, there is no way Li Yuan could default on his debt.
However, Li Yuan really needs some water resources.
Even though this water is far from enough to irrigate the entire Anshan Mountains, only with this water can Anshan have the basic capital for development!
The mortals at the foot of Anshan will not die in that remote and unknown place!
After agreeing on the follow-up matters, Li Yuan was arranged to return to his seat.
The unknown general standing aside kept to himself and did not stand up from beginning to end.
However, he showed an expression of amazement towards Li Yuan.
"You are really good, with so many great gods watching you, and you can still chatter!"
"Even when I was sitting on the sidelines, I felt the pressure from those great gods was terrifying!"
The general laughed and patted Li Yuan on the shoulder.
In fact, Li Yuan had the courage to create such a scene because he was too excited at the moment. Now that he has calmed down after it was done, he almost lost his soul.
Fortunately, all the people in heaven are civilized!
He couldn't help but feel fortunate.
If during a passionate performance, some big boss gets impatient and slaps him back with a slap, it would be a lot of fun.
