After Gun died, Cangyuan arrived without a sound.
Seeing the emaciated old man lying in the thatched cottage, his eyes still open in death, Cangyuan remained silent.
"Gun controlled the floods and saved countless people from disaster. Your outstanding contributions will be remembered by the Human Race."
Perhaps this even more severe flood outbreak had been caused by Gun only blocking the waters without dredging them.
But five hundred years ago, Gun had contained the spread of the floods and saved countless people from disaster. That was a genuine contribution as well.
His merits would not be erased because of his mistakes.
The Human Race would remember this worthy minister who had been the second to govern the floods.
Cangyuan sorted through all the flood-control notes and experience Gun had written down, then settled on Mount Yu.
After Gun died, his body did not decay. Instead, it became as crystalline as jade, while Human Sovereign Purple Qi gestated within his abdomen.

Cangyuan cut open Gun's stomach and carried out a tiny infant.
The baby's cries were loud and clear, echoing throughout Mount Yu.

Cangyuan buried Gun's body.
