When the celestial attendant announced the rewards bestowed upon Taiyuanzi, the Wei River Water God of the lower realm,
Fuxi spoke calmly:
"Taiyuanzi cultivates the path of the Water Element and wields the Authority of Water Element. He may serve as the Heavenly River Water God, overseeing the clouds and rain of the Heavenly Realm."
