The legends of "Gonggong Rages Against Mount Buzhou" and "Nüwa Mends the Sky" were interconnected, one following the other.
If Sage was destined to intervene in Gonggong's story, while Du Yu had to intervene in Nüwa's, then Du Yu would find himself in an extremely passive position.
Namely-
Only after Sage completed his legend would Du Yu's legend "begin."
After all, only once Gonggong knocked Mount Buzhou down again would Nüwa need to mend the sky.
Even if Du Yu entered Nüwa's legend now, he would have no objective at all. He could only wait.
That would make the "race" a joke.
What kind of race had one contestant start running only after the other had crossed the finish line?
Du Yu kept rubbing his forehead.
It felt as though he had walked into another dead end.
In his haste, he had underestimated Sage and agreed to this wager. Sage was another version of himself. How could he possibly be so easy to deal with?
Seeing Du Yu's expression, Dong Qianqiu couldn't help smiling. "Du Yu, you don't need to worry too much. I've already prepared the Descent plan. All we need to do now is enter the legend of 'Gonggong Rages Against Mount Buzhou' and complete it. I believe 'Nüwa Mends the Sky' will follow naturally, like water flowing into a channel. In other words, we don't need to intervene in 'Nüwa Mends the Sky' at all..."
"No..." Du Yu interrupted Dong Qianqiu and sighed. "I'm adding another item to the agenda for this meeting..."
Everyone turned to look at Du Yu, unsure what he was about to say.
"Is there any way we could complete Nüwa's legend on its own without intervening in Gonggong's?" Du Yu asked tentatively.
Everyone frowned and spent a while trying to make sense
