This was the Authority of Water Element in the Heavenly Realm.
Even if it was only an empty-shell Heavenly River Water God.
From this day forth, Zhou Yuan had reason to intervene in the Heavenly Realm's Water Element.
The divine path valued names.
With a proper name came proper justification; with proper justification, matters could be accomplished.
With the title of Water God alone, he could save himself who knew how many years of arduous effort.
As the heavenly voice faded, all manner of profound creation arose within the void.
A white radiance enveloped Zhou Yuan.
Countless ancient seal characters, carrying an aura of vast antiquity, appeared before his eyes.
Phoenix seals and dragon patterns, scattered in ten splendors and shining with color.
Crimson scripts and jade characters, illuminating eight corners and casting down their light.
These Innate Dao Scripts intertwined and flickered, finally revealing the foundation of the Great Dao of Water Element.
Summoning Clouds and Rain, nourishing all beneath heaven.
In a daze, the heavenly voice rang out, and the Great Dao resonated.
It seemed as though some indescribable existence was chanting scriptures.
Amid the divine light filling the sky, the Heavenly River Water God appeared in the void, clad in a sky-blue divine robe, wearing a jade-inlaid divine crown, with a black divine seal at his waist and a treasure mirror in his hand.
Zhou Yuan sincerely bowed toward the void.
"This subject thanks the Heavenly Emperor."
"This subject thanks His Majesty Fuxi and Empress Nuwa."
Loyalty!
Gratitude!
No matter what schemes those figures upon the high platform harbored.
In the end, this rich prize had fallen right into his mouth.
"Heavenly River Water God, you hold authority over Water Element. Your responsibility is grave. You must perform your duties diligently and not show the slightest negligence."
