After arriving, Gungun looked down at the Human Race's imperial capital. Seeing that a dike had already been erected around it, reinforced with the Taixi Pure Soil Gungun had given Nine Li years ago, Gungun raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Your Majesty, it seems Hao Capital can hold out a while longer," Xiong Yuan said from behind Gungun.
Gungun nodded. That was true, but faced with this disaster, the Human Race and all the other afflicted races needed to do more than hold out. They needed to tame the flood!
"Hum!" Gungun waved a great paw and brought out the Earth-Separating Flameglow Banner. Divine radiance flashed in an instant, throwing yin and yang into disarray and overturning the five elements. The boundless floodwaters below rapidly turned into soil, ending their rampage.
Inside Zixiao Palace.
"Hm?" Hongjun, seated cross-legged in the main seat, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned. Then he lightly pointed toward the Primordial World.
"Whoosh!" The Earth-Separating Flameglow Banner, which Gungun was controlling as it displayed its divine ability above the floodwaters and transformed water into earth, abruptly became a streak of auroral light and shot toward Chaos. No matter what spells Gungun cast to stop it, nothing worked.
"Hey, hey! Come back! Come back! Silence!" Gungun looked up and shouted at the Earth-Separating Flameglow Banner, even invoking the Law of Silence, but it was still no use.
Gungun was frantic. That's my treasure-the treasure of the great god Gungun!
"Your Majesty, that direction is where the Dao-"
"Dao what? Dao my ass!" Gungun snapped at Xiong Yuan, then leaped up and chased after the Earth-Separating Flameglow Banner.
Watching Gungun leave, Xiong Yuan knitted his brows. The Dao Ancestor... has interfered again. Should I help tame the flood, then?
Unable to decide, Xiong Yuan stood there, torn.
