Grand Infrastructure: The Inland Sea (13)

In front of the massive roots, as large as mountains, in the southern part of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

After gathering everyone's strength to drive out Tian Wu, Qiwa and Qinghe arrived at the front line.

Gazing at the boundless sea, Qiwa, seeing the ocean for the first time, stood frozen in place, his face filled with awe.

"What a beautiful scene this would be without those waves!"

The azure sky and the deep blue ocean form a boundary line, with no mountains blocking the view as far as the eye can see.

The only downside is that the surging waves are crashing against the coastline.

Even with the enormous roots of the Undying Spring God blocking their way.

The diverted seawater still displayed its violent nature.

The Mountain Folk are now diverting the original towering waves into countless waterways, which are then channeled into corresponding canals and reservoirs.

Without the obstruction of the gods of the South Sea, the Mountain Folk's infrastructure construction speed has increased by more than one level.

Especially after the Gods of the Hundred Lands joined this massive infrastructure project, things that were extremely difficult for the Mountain Folk and spirits were often solved with ease.

Summoning Clouds and Bringing Rain, dividing water to create lakes, moving mountains and shifting peaks...

Along their journey, Qiwa and Qinghe witnessed countless acts of kindness from the gods.

All the Mountain Folk and spirits knew that the goodwill of these gods was not merely out of reverence for the Red-Haired Ghost God.

They fought against this disaster with their mortal bodies and flesh and blood, and now they have even become the main force in reviving Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

The ability of the Mountain Folk to transform mountains and rivers is no less than that of the gods.

"These are all blessings from the prophet..."

Standing behind Qiwa with a gloomy expression, Qinghe still couldn't forget the great battle with Tian Wu three days ago.

In that battle in which many gods participated.

It can't be said that Qinghe made no contribution at all; it's more accurate to say that he was simply dragging the team down.

In fact, let alone compared to those Gods of the Hundred Lands and the Ghost God of Yunmeng Marsh.

Even the Qiwa's performance on the battlefield was far more impressive than Qinghe's.

Although Qiwa's Body-Protecting Gang Qi didn't reach the level of Li Jingshu's, it was still comparable to being impervious to swords and spears, and water and fire.

In addition, he constantly consumed pills during the battle.

That inexhaustible source of Life Primordial Qi was enough to sustain him until the very end.

After the great battle ended, and with Tian Wu, Qiwa also caught the eye of some gods.

If Qiwa hadn't decisively rejected the gods' invitations, he Jidu be a priest of some god by now.

In contrast, the Qinghe was already a Kingfisher priest.

Aside from the initial successful sneak attack, all that remained was impotent rage.

As for Qinghe's constant talk of revenge?

She couldn't Tian Wu from escaping, so how could she possibly kill him?

"Don't worry, I will help you get revenge."

It was only at this moment that they noticed Qinghe's expression.

Qiwa tilted his head and thought for a moment, then turned around and spoke to the other person.

"Your body has been modified, and you are a priestess of the God of Spring, possessing greater combat potential than I do."

"However, you don't know how to use your abilities in combat..."

"I can teach you how to fight properly, and even go with you to seek revenge."

For some reason, the usually aloof Qiwa was unusually considerate at this moment.

If the people of Li Household Village saw Qiwa at this moment, they would surely exclaim that this silly boy had finally come to his senses.

"You'll teach me... how to fight?"

Looking up at the calm-faced Qiwa, Qinghe was stunned for a long time.

He then lowered his head again, looking at his half-bronze body that had been implanted and modified.

"But... I can no longer have children."

Adhering to the most primitive marriage and love concepts of the Mountain Folk, Qinghe only needed one sentence to successfully break down Qiwa's defenses.

"It has nothing to do with that!"

A blush crept onto her cheeks, and Qiwa could only emphasize this by raising his voice.

And that was indeed the case. Qiwa didn't think that much about it; he simply felt that he should help Qinghe.

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the territory of the Undying Spring God.

The Undying Spring God originally occupied the very center of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

However, as time went by, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Yunmeng Marsh was encroaching on its original territory.

From north to south, from small to large...

Although Li Boyang's dream of the eight-hundred-mile Yunmeng Marsh has not yet fully taken shape, it is already showing signs of becoming one.

During this process, the Undying Spring God not only did not resist, but also actively contracted its roots to help Li Boyang construct a water system that spanned the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Especially after this intervention against the gods of the South Sea.

The vast majority of the roots of the Undying Spring God have migrated to the southern region of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

It is foreseeable that in the next few years, Yunmeng Marsh will truly become the central hub of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, transforming into an "inland sea" crisscrossed by thousands of waterways.

The seawater from the South Sea will be blocked and purified by the roots of the Undying Spring God.

To be honest, Li Boyang originally planned to mitigate the impact of seawater on soil salinization by planting special crops on a large scale.

Now that the Undying Spring God has taken on this task, it has reduced Li Boyang's burden in many ways.

"Grandma, you're under so much pressure right now!"

Gently landing on the branch of the Undying Spring God's tree, the Kingfisher, which had already surveyed the entire southern coast, said with concern.

Although the Undying Spring God possesses the ability to purify seawater, this is clearly not without its effects on Him.

As long as the ever-rising tide does not recede, the burden on the Undying Spring God will not lessen.

If this continues for many years, the Undying Spring God will inevitably wither away completely.

"Child, I have lived for over ten thousand years..."

"Apart from those Great Heavenly Deity who reign supreme over all living beings, who else could live as long as I have?"

An aged face emerged from a huge tree branch, and the Undying Spring God chuckled softly.

"Besides, the current high tide is only temporary; that little prophet will solve this problem sooner or later."

"I can handle this load as long as the tide goes out."

The Kingfisher knew this made sense, but it still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After all, the Kingfisher was raised by the Undying Spring God, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was like a second parent to her.

Let's hope so!

The Kingfisher couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the thought of that Mountain Folk Prophet.

In just over a decade, the other party completely changed the face of the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range, even making the usually reclusive Grandma willing to take risks for him.

"Grandma, I tried leaving the Hundred Lands Mountain Range again yesterday..."

"Even if it's not the South Sea, I seem to have a strange... sense of kinship with any region where the Yuan Qi is chaotic?"

"Is this related to my background?"
