64: Chapter 64 Water and drought are controlled by man, yet people are unaware of famine!

Lin Yunfei's gaze was locked tightly onto the [ Dragon Transformation Pool ], which spanned a hundred zhang at the center of the Calamity Divine Kingdom.

At this moment, the water in the Dragon Transformation Pool had completely dried up.

The once overwhelmingly violent xuanming heavy water and the immense vitality of the Ancient Blood Demon had actually been drained clean!

Right in the center of the parched pool floor, a ten-zhang-tall five-colored cocoon of light stood quietly.

On the surface of the light cocoon, water-blue divine patterns and dark-red blood qi flowed and intertwined, emanating a terrifying coercion that made one's heart palpitate.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

That steady and powerful heartbeat echoed in Lin Yunfei's mind like a war drum.

Every single beat caused the surrounding space to emit a slight tremor.

The very instant Lin Yunfei arrived.

"Crack!!!"

A crisp shattering sound abruptly rang out at the bottom of the dead-silent Dragon Transformation Pool.

A deep fissure suddenly appeared on the surface of the giant five-colored light cocoon.

Immediately following this, the fissure spread rapidly like a spiderweb, and a dazzling cyan divine light burst out from the gaps, shooting straight into the clouds!

"Boom!!!"

With an earth-shattering loud bang, the light cocoon burst apart!

Amidst the flying rain of light across the sky, a tall figure slowly stepped out from the dazzling radiance.

It was Yushi!

At this moment, he had undergone a baptismal, bone-transforming metamorphosis.

His already well-proportioned and sturdy physique was now filled with an explosive sense of power.

His pitch-black long hair whipped wildly behind his head, and every single strand seemed to flow with a profound watery luster.

A luxurious set of battle armor, condensed from pure water-system laws and dotted with dark-red blood patterns, fit tightly against his undeniably perfect male physique.

Just by standing there, his entire person felt like a vast ocean—unfathomably deep and wielding a peerless, overwhelming coercion!

"Your subordinate, Yushi, pays respects to my Lord!"

Yushi knelt heavily on one knee, his right hand pressed against his chest, as his deep and magnetic voice echoed resoundingly at the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lin Yunfei laughed out loud three times, his figure flashing as he instantly appeared before Yushi.

He could clearly feel that the energy contained within Yushi at this moment was so vast it made his scalp tingle.

The violent vitality of the Ancient Blood Demon had not only failed to destroy him, but instead pushed his physical body's strength to an unimaginable realm!

"You truly did not disappoint me!"

Lin Yunfei did not spare his praise, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

With such a super trump card, even when facing the top geniuses of those great forces, he would dare to confront them head-on!

However, when Lin Yunfei subconsciously used the Creator's authority to probe Yushi's specific tier at this moment, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"How—how is this possible?"

Lin Yunfei furrowed his brows tightly, a look of disbelief flashing across his eyes.

Peak First Tier!

Clearly, there was only a cicada-wing-thin layer of window paper separating him from the Second Tier deity domain that symbolized a qualitative change, yet it felt as if they were separated by an unsurmountable natural chasm, forever unable to completely cross over!

"Why is it like this?"

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath, his tone carrying a hint of incomprehension and solemnity: "You have completely absorbed that massive mutated energy in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Logically speaking, that power should have been enough to push you to the Second Tier.

Why is your tier still remaining in place?"

Could something have gone awry during the fusion process?

Or was the Origin Power of the Blood Demon not pure enough?

Hearing Lin Yunfei's inquiry, Yushi, kneeling on one knee, slowly raised his head.

"My Lord, it is not that this subordinate's foundation is insufficient, nor is it that the energy of the Dragon Transformation Pool is not enough."

Yushi's voice was as calm as water, saying word by word: "Rather, this world does not allow this subordinate to break through."

"The world does not allow it?"

Lin Yunfei was slightly stunned.

"It is precisely the shackles of heaven and earth."

Yushi stood up, his slender fingers pointing toward the dark-red firmament above his head and the wasteland earth around them, which, though vast, was still restricted by a certain framework of rules.

"No matter how large a puddle is, it cannot nurture a true nine-heaven divine dragon."

"This subordinate is a deity nurtured by the origin of this divine kingdom, sharing glory with this world and suffering losses together with it.

My Lord, your divine kingdom still remains at the level of the 'First Tier'."

Yushi turned his head, his profound gaze staring directly at Lin Yunfei, his tone resounding and powerful:

"As a deity of a First Tier world, this subordinate's upper limit of power is firmly locked by the rules of this realm.

If the world does not upgrade, even if this subordinate has accumulated energy like a vast ocean within my body, it is utterly impossible to unilaterally break the laws and step into the Second Tier."

"Only when you ignite the divine fire and successfully deduce this Calamity Divine Kingdom to the Second Tier will the world barriers expand and the laws sublimate.

By then, the shackles on this subordinate will naturally break without attack, stepping into the Second Tier divine realm quite naturally!"

After listening to Yushi's explanation, Lin Yunfei felt as if he had received an enlightenment, instantly coming to a sudden realization.

But immediately afterwards, Lin Yunfei's heart sank heavily, and his brows twisted back into a dead knot.

He recalled Old Mo's despair-inducing assertion back in the real world inside the Grade A-1 Lecture Hall.

"A dead end, this is simply an unsolvable dead end!"

Lin Yunfei paced back and forth, his tone rarely carrying a trace of irritability.

"Yushi, do you know why I have delayed instigating the divine kingdom's advancement?"

Lin Yunfei pointed to the outer periphery of the divine kingdom, to the black-red ocean that was blocked by temporary dikes yet still churned wildly, threatening to burst its banks at any moment.

"That is xuanming heavy water!

It is the power of calamity capable of crushing even the void!

Old Mo said that the most crucial point for the Calamity Divine Kingdom to advance to the Second Tier is that the power of calamity must completely integrate with the earth and laws of the divine kingdom!"

"If I forcefully promote the divine kingdom's advancement right now, the moment the world barriers expand, that blocked xuanming heavy water will completely lose control and backfire.

The divine kingdom will collapse in an instant, and you and I will both be reduced to ashes!"

"However, how overbearing is that power of calamity?

Once left unattended, it will corrode the earth and devour vitality.

Water and fire are incompatible, so how can one speak of fusing it with the divine kingdom?"

Lin Yunfei stopped in his tracks, staring intently at Yushi with blazing eyes.

To upgrade, one must fuse the calamity water; to fuse the calamity water, the calamity water would destroy the divine kingdom; if the divine kingdom didn't upgrade, Yushi couldn't break through; if Yushi didn't break through, there wouldn't be enough power to suppress the calamity water.

This had completely fallen into a suffocating vicious cycle!

Just at this moment, Yushi slowly spoke.

"My Lord, you have fallen into a misconception."

Yushi strode over to a high ground, overlooking the flooding ocean of waters below, and slowly said.

"The water of the world is both extremely soft and extremely rigid.

The momentum of water lies in flow, not stagnation."

"Forced fusion is naturally no different from pulling chestnuts from the fire.

But what if we guide it according to the situation?"

Lin Yunfei's heart shook violently, as if a bolt of lightning had split across his mind.

"You mean…!"

Yushi suddenly turned around, throwing his arms wide open as water-blue divine power churned wildly around his entire body.

"We are going to dig river channels!

We are going to carve out a grand water vein that runs through the entire territory of the divine kingdom upon this wasteland!"

"Although xuanming heavy water is overbearing, our dependents, after absorbing the Origin Power of the Ancient Blood Demon, have already had their physical bodies grow to an unimaginable degree of toughness.

They have already initially adapted to this aura of calamity."

"As long as we turn the heavy water from stagnant water into flowing water, guiding it to flow through every inch of the divine kingdom's land, we can form a perfect head-to-tail connected 'water cycle'."

"During the cycle, the destructive power of the xuanming heavy water will constantly friction, offset, and transform with the vitality power of the Blood Demon.

This sky-filling calamity water will no longer be a sharp sword hanging over our heads, but will transform into the most robust 'bloodline' of this Calamity Divine Kingdom!"

Lin Yunfei drew in a sharp breath of cold air, and his gaze toward Yushi changed completely.

He truly lived up to being a natural water-system deity; his understanding of water had already reached a divine, mesmerizing realm.

To convert the world-destroying calamity water into a bloodline that nourishes the divine kingdom!

If this conception could truly be realized, then this divine kingdom's foundation would expand to a terrifying degree that even the old monsters of the Creator Academy could not imagine!

Moreover, the three dead-end conditions mentioned by Old Mo could all be resolved by him one by one.

[nine heavens breathing soil] to set the foundation.

[Ancient Blood Demon Origin] to protect the body.

Coupled with Yushi's unconstrained [dredging water to transform veins] strategy, to achieve the ultimate perfect fusion!

All the puzzle pieces, at this very moment, snapped together seamlessly and tightly!

"What a brilliant strategy of dredging water to transform veins!"

Lin Yunfei violently flicked his sleeve, and a Creator's majesty that surpassed all living beings suddenly erupted, sweeping across the entire divine kingdom.

"Leader Yan Er! High Priest Xi!"

Lin Yunfei's voice was like rolling heavenly thunder, resounding deep within the souls of every single wasteland dependent.

"Prepare to move mountains! Dig the rivers!"

Starting today, I will make floods and droughts obey man, and let the people of my divine kingdom never know famine!
