Within Xi Huang Palace
Yang Huai felt a measure of admiration as well. Fuxi Clan clearly knew his purpose, and knew even more clearly why he had come, yet was still willing to lend him a hand. That spoke volumes of his magnanimity.
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, truly deserving of the title Emperor of All Spirits. This lesser god greatly admires you!"
After a slight pause, Yang Huai continued.
"This lesser god has come to seek an audience with Your Majesty out of private motives as well. I may wish to refine the origin of the Milky River Weak Water, and even part of the origin of the great rivers upon the land. But this lesser god can guarantee Your Majesty that if I am granted authority over the rivers and lakes of the land, I shall ensure favorable winds and timely rains for the surrounding human tribes for ten thousand years, repaying Your Majesty's grace today!"
That was laying down his terms. If the Human Sovereign refused, he would have no choice but to seek another patron!
The human race did not have only one Xi Huang Dao Kingdom!
A trace of a smile appeared in Fuxi Clan's eyes.
Taking in this Dragon God before him was no more than a trivial effort to him. In truth, even if Yang Huai had not revealed his private motives, he would still have lent him a hand.
Just as Yang Huai had guessed, when the Milky River Weak Water flooded, it was ultimately the myriad spirits upon the land who suffered.
The human race especially so.
If this Dragon God could clear away the Milky River Weak Water around the Xi Huang Dao Kingdom and restore the purity of the water sources, it would naturally be an immense boon.
