Flood control.
This was considered sacred by all the clans.
If they perform well, these descendants of immortals will also have the opportunity to glimpse the path to immortality.
When the Mother Nest rioted, a group of immortals who perished were selected from among the other immortal descendants to fill the gaps. Now that the River of Eternal Darkness has rioted again, another group of immortals have perished. As long as they can assist the immortals in controlling the floods, they will have the opportunity to become immortals and live forever.
The underlying logic of the Western Continent is the same as that of the Northern and Southern Continents.
These so-called immortals are saints who possess divinity and have entered the realm of demigods.
The first group of saints could be called innate saints.
The immortals who have been enlightened are naturally not as good as the first generation. Their ranks are roughly fixed between Sequence 4 and Sequence 3. They are not angels and are controlled by Penglai. They can receive a little bit of the protection of the gray mist, so they can guard various places and be responsible for guarding the source matter.
These ancient clans, who inherit the bloodline of immortals, are similar to the descendants of extraordinary individuals from the northern and southern continents, having inherited some extraordinary power within them to varying degrees.
The specific sequence varies depending on the concentration of blood in the body and the blessings bestowed by each person's ancestors.
However, most of them are between Sequence 7 and Sequence 6. The very few who can reach Sequence 5 are all very old and have long since given up their leadership positions. They are also called shamans, who are the bridge for the tribe to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and are responsible for presiding over various large-scale sacrifices and ceremonies.
Among all the tribal leaders, Si Gun was the youngest but held the highest position. He was the only ruler among the many Si-surname tribes who held both the roles of leader and shaman, and he was also the leader of the Si-surname tribe in this flood control effort.
Because of his lack of age, seniority, prestige, and other shortcomings, many tribes were dissatisfied with him. Even though he was the youngest shaman in the Si clan, there were still many tribal leaders who looked down on him, because the immortal of the Feng Hou clan had perished during the Mother Nest Uprising.
The Feng Hou clan no longer had any immortals. Si's rise was seen more as the immortal's last choice before his fall, and the other tribal leaders naturally had a complicated attitude towards Si Gun.
If it weren't for this flood control effort, besides the Si clan, there would have been several competitors, including the Gonggong clan, who were more familiar with the Yong'an River basin, making it even more difficult for Si to rise to power.
Even though Si is a "shaman", there is no qualitative change between sequence 5 and sequence 6. If he wants to suppress the other 11 Si clans by himself, he may have to dig up the ancestral tombs of the Feng Hou clan and find a piece of immortal remains.
Si Gun led the Si clan's tribal alliance to the place where the power of the Mother Nest and the River of Eternal Darkness converged. In such overlapping areas, the two source forces mutually neutralized and clashed. Some areas were safer, while others were extremely dangerous. By finding a safe zone, these humans born from the Mother Nest could move around in such places.
Such good places are rare, and the Gonggong clan and other tribal alliances also had their eyes on this place; they were the first to arrive.
Before these early tribes could even settle in, they saw a dense, dark mass of people emerging from the distance, casting a huge shadow on the ground. When they looked up, they saw a colossal beast with the body of a lion, the head of a bird, the tail of a scorpion, and colorful wings appear in the sky, its massive spine gripping its massive body as it looked down upon the tribal alliance.
"Lie down!"
"Lie down!"
"Lie down!"
The silly bird that Si Gun sat on roared at the people below like a lion. It shook its huge tail hook and swooped down to the ground. The powerful pressure made the smaller tribes scream and flee. Even the Gonggong clan, which was in charge, broke into a small disarray. It was not until the leader of the Gonggong clan roared that the Gonggong clan, which was showing signs of collapse, calmed down.
Enraged by Si's provocation and the incomprehensible bird language of the giant beast, the middle-aged leader of the Gonggong clan picked up a long spear, with silver lightning wrapped around it, and hurled it at the giant beast that was swooping down from the sky. The silver lightning emitted a sharp shriek in the air.
"Lie down!"
Seeing that it was coming for him, the silly bird sank down, lowering its body to reveal Si Gun sitting on its back. Si Gun swung its huge bone club, knocking away the lightning spear that came flying at him. The silly bird's ferocity was also aroused. It did not slow down and swung its sharp claws to grab at the leader of the Gonggong clan. Si Lin's muscles bulged, and he swung his huge bone club again.
boom!
The leader of the Gonggong clan, an experienced "shaman," was thrown into the air. This "shaman" had the ability to control the wind and did not panic in the air. Instead, he chanted incantations and summoned a bolt of lightning.
"Taowu".
Si Gun called out, and the silly bird he sat on stuck its tail hook into the ground, opened its mouth and bit off the lightning bolt. Its feathers became even more brilliant due to the stimulation of the electric current. The people of the Si clan alliance also stood behind Si with various weapons and tools, forming a semi-encirclement around Gonggong.
Although the Si clan alliance had some internal problems, they had the largest number of middle and lower-level fighters. As a female clan that had long-term contact with the mother nest, the tribe naturally had the largest population. Si, as a man, was able to serve as the leader of a female clan alliance, which was achieved through many fierce battles.
"Listen to me, or leave here."
Si's gaze swept over the somewhat unsure Gonggong clan, then turned to the Gonggong clan descending from the sky. His seated Taotie adjusted its posture, ready to pounce again at any moment.
The blood flowing through this tribe has a certain Storm Path quality, and there is more than one Sequence 5 within it. Si Gun glanced at the few old guys who were not moving behind the Gonggong clan, and then turned his gaze back to Gonggong, who was the clan leader.
Gonggong's face was gloomy, but after the initial exchange, he had to admit a fact: although he was not afraid of Si Gun, if the Taotie was added to the mix, he might be worn down to death. The elderly shamans in the clan could not be moved lightly, and there would only be more elderly shamans in the Si clan.
"We are here to control the floods on the orders of our ancestral spirits."
Gonggong snorted coldly.
They didn't compromise; they just didn't want to delay important matters.
"The Gonggong clan was a tribe with rich experience in flood control."
Si Gun's words eased Gonggong's expression slightly. "But the river we need to manage this time is different. Only by using the power of Wuchao Mountain (the Mother Nest) can we help the immortals quell the floods."
"What's your plan?"
Gonggong did not refute, for he knew, of course, that this time they were facing the River of Souls Returning Home.
He brought over 10,000 people from the tribe, most of whom were ordinary people who had long been prepared to return to the Mother River.
"This river is our final destination."
"But now is not the time for us to return to our hometown. If we want to control the floods, the first thing we need to do is expand our scope of activities."
Si Gun gazed at the River of Eternal Darkness not far away.
