Chapter 649: The End of Hongze in the World
The Water Lord smiled faintly, and the whole Huaishui River seemed much calmer.
Huaishui River passed by Hongze Lake, next to a young man who controlled the powerful water element. The Water Goddess and Xue Hanlei also gazed at the lake.
Xue Hanlei stood beside him, her eyes filled with complexity. She felt both familiar and strange to this place. Familiar because she had been imprisoned here for so long, and strange because she had never overlooked this prison like she did now.
When she looked down from the height, she found it surprisingly beautiful even under the moonlight.
The whole lake reflected red color, and the moonlight became splendid and enchanting.
Wait a minute…
"Red?" Xue Hanlei gasped, "Is all this red… blood?"
Bai Wei glanced at the pool of blood-red Hongze, smiling as he replied.
"I keep my word. When I said blood will flow like a river, it will flow like a river naturally."
He raised his finger and said. But for now, I can’t reveal my true identity. Remember to keep it a secret.
Huai nodded in agreement and slightly bowed, "As you wish, Water Lord."
Xue Hanlei followed with a graceful bow, "As you wish, Water Lord."
Bai Wei remained silent.
Indeed, he still preferred the unruly appearance of the dragon clan.
But perhaps it’s for the best…
The young man clapped and smiled, his voice echoing over Hongze Lake.
"What a river of blood it is…"
"Unfortunately, this bloodshed is not enough. Bai Wei, can you handle it? It took you so long just to barely kill one."
He squinted his eyes, his golden eyes shining with the power of the Water Deity, reflecting a cold golden light.
"If you keep dawdling like this, you might as well let me do it."
Bai Wei’s acting was steady, "Less talk, you scout your river, I slay my dragon, stop trying to steal monsters!"
The Water Deity chuckled and fell silent.
A few simple jokes made it clear the cooperative relationship between both sides, and the tremendous pressure brought by the Water Deity also frightened everyone.
"Is the Water Deity of Huaiwo here?" Lord Qiantang shouted.
For the Dragon Deity who prided himself on controlling the water element, the appearance of the actual rulers of the Four Rivers would greatly suppress the Dragon Clan’s control over the water element, causing a significant impact. In the future, the entire Huaiwo lineage would certainly have to recognize him as their leader.
Ignoring the surprise of the various Dragon Kings, the Water Deity glanced at Hongze, resting a hand behind his back.
"I leave this place for you to handle."
After speaking, he looked towards the east once again, clearly indicating he had no intention of staying here any longer.
Lu Yunchuan shouted loudly, "Please wait! What is your purpose for this trip, Water Lord? The impact of changing Huaishui’s course is enormous."
No one currently knows why Huaishui wants to change its course, and now that there is a chance to confront it directly, it should definitely be clarified.
However, there is a fear of conflicts arising. If the second-grade heroic spirit and the Four Rivers Water God confront each other, the consequences could be unpredictable.
Under the Water Lord’s mask came a vast and deep voice, and in response to his will, the quiet water spirits stirred up once again causing a great commotion.
"What is the purpose? Just reclaiming the original position that belongs to Huaishui!"
"Huaishui is traveling eastward, returning to the vast ocean."
"I will make the Divine Land understand once again, what is meant by the Four Rivers under Heaven!"
His words were resolute, as Huaishui roared, readying its troops and weapons, pointing them directly towards the east.
In front of Huaishui is the ancient Gaojia Weir which is hundreds of years old!
The formation of Hongze Lake is partly due to the presence of Gaojia Weir, which blocks the eastern flow of Huaishui. To strengthen the Gaojia Weir, significant efforts were made in the early Ming Dynasty and continued to be reinforced over the past five hundred years. As it accumulated higher, it enhanced the status of Hongze Lake. It can be said that without Gaojia Weir, Huaishui might have found its own way to the sea, but its existence has completely transformed Huaishui into a tributary of the Yangtze River.
Millions of water spirits rushed towards Gaojia Weir.
Seeing this scene, Lord Hongze became completely panicked and shouted, "Stop it! Stop it!"
He summoned aquatic monsters in the name of the water god shrine and ordered them to stop the water spirits. However, the monsters were torn apart the moment they touched Huaishui. The raging water spirits then killed the monsters, and their blood splattered on both sides, just like attempting to stop a high-speed train with the body.
"What are you doing!"
"Why are you just watching!"
"If it destroys the Gaojia Weir, the entire Hongze will be destroyed in an instant. Do you want to bring about a once-in-a-century flood disaster!"
Lord Hongze hysterically roared at the heroic spirit, at the dragon lord, and at the indifferent spectators, accusing and scolding them.
Lord Dongting sympathetically gazed at Lord Hongze.
Lord Qiantang shrugged and chose not to speak.
Lord Chaohu bluntly uttered two words, "Sand pen."
What else could be done if not looking?
Rush up to block? Can you win? Is it an opponent? Are you sure?
The monarch of Huaishui, the pinnacle of the entire water god, unstoppable by anyone, dared not to be stopped by anyone.
Even if you take ten thousand steps back and block it… But then what? Can you protect Hongze?
The heroic spirit also remained silent.
Lord Hongze angrily questioned, "Lu Yunchuan, do you want to be remembered as villains throughout history? Hurry and follow me to intercept such a disaster!"
Lu Yunchuan broke the silence and glanced at Lord Hongze, saying, "If Gaojia Weir is broken, it may bring a once-in-a-century flood disaster."
He continued, "However, if we choose to intercept this water deity, the Ming Country will face a catastrophic disaster not seen in thousands of years."
"Once-in-a-century, thousands of years…which is more serious, do we need to say more?"
He might not fear the water deity, but faced with such a massive army of water spirits, he dared not intervene. Otherwise, if it lost control, it would bring an unprecedented thousand-year flood disaster to the three neighboring provinces. Given the choice between two evils, there was no need to consider who to choose.
Lord Hongze was stunned.
It gritted its teeth, blood seeping from the corner of its mouth, and let out a furious roar, "Wow!"
It tried to strengthen Gaojia Weir using its mystical powers, only to end up in vain.
Its madness before destruction was fully displayed on its body.
Unfortunately, all of this was meaningless as the insignificant being hidden beneath the power of heaven and earth, its carefully crafted protective layer, would still be torn apart.
As the old saying goes, what goes around comes around, and no one can escape the heavens’ judgement.
Nothing stays the same, only change is constant. The world is always evolving, and those who wield the power of nature are truly the strongest.
This is Bai Wei’s revenge, and a step towards his ruthless actions.
The dark dragon stole the power of nature for itself, so I used that power to break through its defenses, showing how fragile and foolish its protection truly was.
Let it witness the destruction of all the carefully laid plans over centuries.
Let its greedy ambitions be exposed in the sunlight, reduced to ashes.
Let it completely lose its foothold in the land of the Ming Country.
Let it watch as its own inevitable destruction approaches, unstoppable.
Rather than a swift death, it is better to let it suffer in regret, torment, and madness leading to self-destruction.
That’s refreshing.
"Hanlei, watch carefully and remember not to look away."
Bai Wei stepped on the waves, pressing down with his fingertips, urging his soldiers to clear the way for him to advance.
Gaojia Weir is the most outstanding flood defense dam in history, appearing indestructible, but it has yet to face the true force of the ancient Huaishui.
Now, it faces a million powerful warriors. When the water spirits clash against Gaojia Weir, the deafening sound echoes continuously, the endless force striking the dam like millions of war hammers simultaneously pounding on a stone wall.
He controls the Huaishui like wielding an unstoppable sword, breaking the obstacles blocking the sight to the east, hindering the Huaishui’s journey eastward, obstructing the high walls preventing the dragon from returning to the sea. A single sword strike pierces through!
Through clouds and mist, piercing through mountains and iron, it advances relentlessly, breaking through at a touch, heading towards the East Sea without hindrance.
Lord Hongze widened his eyes, in the black dragon’s eyes, blood seemed about to flow, it stared fixedly at Huaishui, constantly grinding its teeth, praying that this was just an illusion, just a dream. However, the cracking sound from the statue of the godly spirit of Hongze revealed the truth. It opened its mouth and let out a sharp, painful, furious, and desperate howl from the depths of its throat.
"No—!!"
Standing at the edge of the roaring waves, a young man in a light blue robe laughed loudly, his laughter echoing in the vast landscape of Huaishui. Contrasting sharply with the magnificent scenery around him.
The water from the river seemed to come from the sky, just like the laughter that sounded heavenly!
"From now on!"
"There is no more Hongze in the world!"
